Rather than drag this out, I’ve decided to just go for it. Sometime tonight I will change the blog over from b2evolution to WordPress. I’ll try to setup some redirects on the server to keep the feeds going, but if you find that you haven’t received any new feeds, then please come back to the…
Sometime over the next few days I will be changing the blogging platform that I use. If you visit the web site to get your Niagara Falls news, then you won’t need to change anything. But if you use an RSS reader (either client software or a web site like My Yahoo!) then you will…
Sometime in the early evening on Friday Galaxy Golf opened. It looks like there is still some work to do on the outside of the building, but they are obviously done enough to have customers. The picture below is from the 18th hole which is upstairs by the ticket booth. The rest of the course…
Seeing the Falls from the Niagara Parkway is nice, but you can’t really get a feel for how huge they are until you get an aerial view. People spend hundreds of dollars a night to stay in fallsview rooms along the wall of hotels that line the parkway. One of the original buildings is the…
The Konica Minolta Tower has been around for over 40 years. After about a year of construction, it opened in 1962. It was originally called the Seagram Tower, and it’s shape was supposed to remind you of a Seagram’s whiskey bottle. I’ve looked around for a picture of a bottle that the tower was modelled…

I have certain responsibilities with the church I attend, and I am legally authorized to perform marriages in the province of Ontario. It was certainly not the typical wedding…
Regular visitor Lisa from Rochester emailed me some information. She called the Imperial Hotel & Suites: Imperial Hotel is shooting for the Golden Griddle to open next week. Parking is free for Guests but $5.00 if you are not staying there. She also called the Quality Inn Clifton Hill: Galaxy Golf and Canada Trading there…
I previously posted a picture of the sign on the side of the Galaxy Golf building. Yesterday or today they put up a sign over the ticket booth. It’s a large golf ball coming out of the building with flames beside it. You can also see that they’ve done more work on the artwork/mural on…
I was out for a walk at lunch, just after we had a hard, sudden downpour. As I walked down Clifton Hill they had the Niagara SkyWheel turning very quickly. I was quite surprised it could move that fast. I doubt that is the normal speed. They were obviously doing some testing as they started…
From the Niagara Falls Review: Tim Horton’s is coming to Table Rock. Buoyed by the success of the Pizza Pizza franchise recently installed at Table Rock, the Niagara Parks Commission has acquired a Tim Horton’s outlet for Table Rock, which sees about six million visitors a year.
