From the Niagara Falls Review: Hundreds of tourists didn’t mind getting soaked at Table Rock Thursday for a glimpse of Hollywood at work. A large section of the wet and windy landmark was cordoned off for filming of Camille, a supernatural-themed love story starring Sienna Miller and James Franco. The scene being shot occurs near…
From the Buffalo News: Less than two years before passports would be required to enter the United States from either of its neighbors, the Niagara region’s tourism industry is already taking a big economic hit. Canadian businesses are bemoaning scrapped visits by Americans who think the new border security initiative already is in effect. “Perception…
No matter what age you are, there is a lot to do at the Great Wolf Lodge, but ultimately it is the kids that will enjoy it the most. As I mentioned when talking about the hotel, there are all sorts of activities for the children. In the lobby there is a talking moose, bear,…

One of the more recent videos we have is called Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson’s Hairbrush. It’s similar to Indiana Jones and stars the cucumber Larry. Anyway, the video…
