From Yahoo! Finance:
The $20 million conversion of the former Holiday Inn Select into a Crowne Plaza Hotel is complete for the downtown Niagara Falls property.
The Crowne Plaza nameplate officially goes on the 397-room, Third Street hotel Tuesday morning. The conversion began last year shortly after Phoenix-based Namwest LLC acquired the hotel. The hotel is third largest in the immediate Buffalo Niagara area.
I posted about this when I first heard that it was going to be renovated. That led to discussions about the Crowne Plaza in Niagara Falls, ON. The conversion is complete in Niagara Falls, NY, and the one in Ontario still sits as it was a couple of years ago. It’s such an eyesore!
From the Dundas Star News:
A summer morning fishing on the shores of Owen Sound Bay. Scaling the escarpment at Tiffany Falls with the aid of spiked boots and ice axes. The Toronto skyline visible 50 kilometres away from the vast rolling countryside of Caledon Hills.
The Niagara Escarpment means many things to many people. For photographers Sandy Bell from Hamilton, Vic MacBournie from Ancaster and John MacRae from Dundas, the appeal is in the details. A fern that has found a foothold in a crack in the limestone wall. A fawn following confidently alongside its mother, stopping only briefly to glance over at the photographer who is focused on the pair as they disappear into the forest edges.
Mr. Bell, Mr. MacBournie and Mr. MacRae — who make up the Spirit of Nature photography group — showcase their remarkable photographers’ eyes in a new book released this fall by James Lorimer and Company Ltd.
