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.

I really enjoy his little radio segements he does…and I think he occasionally does articles for the Review. I wish I could have went on this. I miss the old Toussads
I drove down the hill Friday night I think around 11:30 and noticed both the Piledriver and Pink Panther Ride closed. I have yet to see them in operation this year. Anyone know why?
Pile Driver is open today. I don’t know about Pink Panther.
