From the Niagara Falls Review:
It’s known as the ‘Street of Fun,’ but on Sunday, Sherman Zavitz made it the Street of History.
The city’s official historian wasn’t just playing tourist. With close to 50 people in tow, he made his way down and then back up the rambunctious boulevard, pausing where appropriate to discuss what was there in the days before wax museums and arcades.
Among many locals, it’s a noisy, tacky street to avoid all summer. But it has a deep connection with the city, said Zavitz, who writes on local history each Saturday in The Review.
“Its history should get some respect,” he said.
