Last Friday I received the latest issue of the Clifton Hill Resorts Update newsletter. They are promoting the same packages they always promote. In fact, the newsletter has hardly changed at all during the last 6 months. I think it’s time they started to change the look and feel of the newsletter. You can subscribe…
From the Niagara Falls Review: Jay Cochrane says he wants to wirewalk into the history books, becoming the first person in 110 years to walk a tightrope over the Niagara River.
