As FALLSVIEW posted about in the forum, the Circus World store on Victoria Avenue near the top of Clifton Hill is closed. They didn’t just close up and leave over night. They had a sign on their window for the last month or more where it said they were closing and everything must go. Then once it closed, it was still days, if not longer, before they were out. FALLSVIEW had taken a picture when it was totally empty. I took this picture well over a week ago and just didn’t get around to posting it. They were still in the process of emptying the store.

Circus World at one point had 2 locations… this one and the one on Clifton Hill where Movieland now is. When the lease ended for the Clifton Hill location, Circus World was left with this one only. I don’t know if they will be relocating. There were no signs on the window indicating this. My impression was that they were closing for good.

From the Buffalo News:

Those who find the falls at their most majestic in winter are in for a treat.

Starting with a reception from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, about 35 spectacular frosty scenes of the famed cataracts and surrounding state park will be exhibited for the first time in the Niagara Falls Public Library, 1425 Main St. The exhibit will continue through March.

They are the work of photojournalist and editor Orrin E. Dunlap, a “stringer” for the New York Times as early as the 1880s who also wrote articles for other major publications, including Scientific American and the London Illustrated News.

Fallsview Indoor Water Park Getaway

News10 out of Syracuse, NY has a small blurb on their web site about the Fallsview Indoor Water Park. There is also an accompanying video of the water park (this must have been something they featured on a broadcast). This is the first I’ve seen inside the park, and it looks nice. The video is a little over 2 minutes long.

You won’t have to fly all the way to Florida to find summertime fun this winter. Once you cross the Rainbow Bridge into Niagara Falls, Canada, you’ll notice that the skyline has changed. Sitting high atop the public parking garage behind the Brock Plaza Hotel is the new 8-story high Fallsview Indoor Water Park!
