Yesterday I took a picture of the new fudge store on Clifton Hill. It is coming along nicely. The main structure seems to be done (always takes the longest). I’m sure we’ll see it moving even faster now.Â

Last Tuesday I received the latest newsletter from the Niagara Falls Marriott Fallsview. They are promoting Spring Break packages.

From the Niagara Falls Review:
News that Niagara Falls continues to lose ground against cities vying for American tourists wasn’t what members of Niagara Falls Tourism wanted to hear, said the organization’s chairman, Wayne Thomson.
But, he said, it is just what they had to hear if they want to reverse the trend.
“Although there is some negativity in some of the comments, it was essential to know,” Thomson said of the report, prepared by Niagara Tourism Research Institute general director Michael Halle and presented to Niagara Falls Tourism at a meeting at the Ameri-Cana resort last week.
From Niagara This Week:
It’s around 5 p.m., and Ruedi Hafen is taking off from the launch pad at Niagara Helicopters for one of his last flights of the day Saturday, Feb. 24.
It was a clear, sunny afternoon, and he has one passenger with him, Karen Cumberland — a friend he calls a “big fan of Niagara Helicopters.”
The two were chatting and preparing for their scenic flight, but as they ascended over Victoria Avenue, Hafen saw thick black smoke escaping to the sky above the Canadian National Rail building located down the street from his business.
“I could see smoke everywhere — by the windows, by the roof. Everywhere. There were no flames, but just thick, black smoke.”
He saw a trail of footprints in the snow approaching the rear of the building, so he decided to circle back to his base and pick up a photographer to take pictures of the scene to assist with the fire department’s investigation.
Hafen, chief pilot and president of Niagara Helicopters, has been working hand in hand with the city’s fire services and emergency rescue personnel for more than 20 years.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
The Niagara Parks Commission’s green people mover buses keep chugging along. They have been in service for about 22 years, shuttling tourists along the Niagara Parkway from one attraction to the next. The bodies are getting old, seats are getting worn and the air conditioning doesn’t blast ice-cold anymore. But they’re still on the road.
And with the City of Niagara Falls and parks commission months - if not years - behind in developing a new Niagara Falls people mover, the parks commission has had to spend more than $1 million extending the life expectancy of its buses.
“I think we’re OK for a little while,” said John Kernahan, the parks commission’s general manager.
