Cirque Niagara Avaia – Intermission

    In between acts one and two is a 20-minnute intermission. This gives you plenty of time to get a snack or drink, look through the retail items, or go to the bathroom (which, by the way, are the cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever seen at an attraction). I’m sure that they make quite a bit of…

            That’s one big Peanut Butter Cup!

            Last December I mentioned the giant Hershey’s Kiss that the Hershey Store on Falls Avenue had. Well, now they have a giant Reese Peanut Butter Cup walking around.

              Trouble with the Pink Panther Ride

              Many of you may have read Sue’s comments on a previous post. Apparently there was a problem with a window washer. This person was cleaning the windows on the Sheraton on the Falls, and the wires/ropes were blown around the side of the building and damaged the Pink Panther ride. Here is Sue’s original comment:…

                      From the Niagara Falls Review: Grand Niagara golf course got city approval to expand its resort, but still needs to overcome opposition from its Grassy Brook Road neighbours to get the road closures a resort representative says it needs. “That’s the talk of the town where we live,” said Denis Boulet, summing up the rural…
