Building on Victoria Avenue torn down

As was mentioned in a previous comment, the building between Mama Mia’s and Tussaud’s was torn down recently. I don’t know anything about it as to who owns it or what is going to happen to the space.

New Niagara Falls Tourism web site

Niagara Falls Tourism has a redesigned web site. It’s very bright and colourful and has some nice features. They have started a blog (called the Niagara Falls Blog after I called mine that years ago, and after Clifton Hill copied with their Niagara Falls Blog - Travel and Tourism News), but it doesn’t look like it will be much competition.

You can visit the site or read more about it on the Clifton Hill blog (that’s where I first read about it).

The towers and wires are being put up around the Skylon Tower in preparation for Jay Cochrane.

WILLWONDERS NEVER CEASE?

From the Niagara Falls Review:

On your marks, get ready - and vote for your favourite places in Niagara Falls and Fort Erie. In Saturday’s Review, forms will be included for readers to nominate the Seven Wonders of Niagara Falls and the Seven Wonders of Fort Erie.

“We really want people to have some fun with it,” said Peter Conradi, managing editor of The Review.

“We hope people will take an interest in it and maybe we will educate some people who don’t know a lot about the region.”

Readers will have about four weeks to send in nominations by fax, mail or e-mail. For Niagara Falls nominations, send e-mails to: falls7wonders@nfreview.com, and for Fort Erie nominations send e-mails to: fe7wonders@nfreview.com.

A panel of judges picked from each community will assist in narrowing down the nominations. Unlike the recent CBC Seven Wonders of Canada contest, the ultimate decision will be up to the people.
