I just posted a link to a Niagara Falls Review article about the Brock Monument that is at Queenston Heights Park (part of the Niagara Parks). The paper also has an article that shares a few facts about the monument as well.

Brock statue battles time, elements

From the Niagara Falls Review:

For more than 150 years, the stone likeness of Maj. Gen. Isaac Brock, hailed as a saviour of Upper Canada, has towered over the Niagara-on-the Lake countryside.

The nearly four-metre high statue of Brock, which sits atop the massive 56-metre tall limestone monument that bears his name, has endured just about everything man and nature can throw at it.

Junk email from Radisson Hotel & Suites Fallsview?

I have numerous web sites, and since my email addresses are out there, I get a lot of junk email (hundreds if not thousands a day). Every couple of weeks I look through my junk email folder to see if anything good was caught by mistake. The other day I found something interesting.

Last Tuesday I received a message with content like the following:

TOP BRANDS - LOW LOW PRICES

Jewelry * Handbags * Pens * Watches * Neckties * Clutches * Wallets

The weird part was that it was to NIAGARAFALLSVIEW@LISTSERV.CHOICEONE.NET. This is the address that the Radisson Hotel & Suites Fallsview newsletter uses. I looked at the message headers of the email, and it certainly appears that the junk email actually came through their newsletter server. There was even an automatic footer added to the message with a link if you want to unsubscribe that takes you to the hotel web site.

Did anyone else get this message?
