From the Niagara Falls Review:
A new admission policy at the Avalon Ballroom may leave ticket buyers feeling burned, worries one local parent.
On Wednesday morning, Niagara Falls resident Sarah Kennedy purchased two tickets to an upcoming Alice Cooper concert at the Avalon, located inside the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort. One was for her husband Gord, the other for her 13-year-old daughter Chantel.
But when she picked up the tickets later that day, she was shocked to discover a new policy suddenly in effect - no one younger than 19 can attend shows at the venue.
I generally wouldn’t put this sort of thing on the blog, but I drive or walk by this billboard regularly and it bugs me. It’s for Mints, an “adult entertainment club” on Main Street. The part that bugs me is the line at the top of the billboard:
Better Odds Than The Casino Baby
What does that mean? Of course I know what it is supposed to mean, but I still think it is dumb. You have better odds that you’ll run into a woman who has no interest in you? Better odds that you will lose even more money than at the casino? Better odds that you won’t see the woman on the billboard? Better odds that your wife/girlfriend won’t let you go? Better odds that you won’t take your kids in?
Niagara Falls has several of these places, and they all seem to have billboards right near family-friendly destinations. As you can see in this billboard, it is right above another billboard for the Rainforest Cafe and their free shark exhibit.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Trying to beat the heat has been a whale of a challenge this summer, but not for the folks who care for the menagerie of animals at Marineland.
As Marineland’s pod of belugas hail from the cool arctic waters along the Russian coast, they don’t care too much for the heat.
To keep the 1,500-kilogram animals as comfortable as possible, the park uses a water “chiller,” akin to a huge water cooler, which provides an optimal underwater environment.
