This is not a great picture (taken with my camera phone), but it is off a 2007 Tim Hortons calendar I saw in a store. Each month has a picture of a Tim Hortons location (near the ocean, beside a mountain, etc) and the June 2007 picture is of the Tim Hortons on Clifton Hill….
From the Niagara Falls Review: It’s amazing. It’s great. And the fact he does so much to help children around the world makes his death-defying feat all that much more spectacular. Those were just a few of the comments made by spectators Thursday afternoon as they watched wirewalker Jay Cochrane make the first of his…
As I’m always on the lookout for good Niagara Falls sites, I came across a Flickr collection the other day for someone with the username Mtl_Shag. This person came to Niagara Falls 6-9 months ago, and took some nice pictures of the Falls in Winter. There are also other Niagara Falls pictures as well.

Wednesday’s rain prevented the 63-year-old world famous wirewalker from performing on America’s Fourth of…
Canada.com has a current feature called 50 Canadian travel highlights. There is one reference to Niagara Falls on the list: 10. Take a ride on the Maid of the Mist in Niagara Falls, Ont. Sure, it’s touristy, but worth every penny just the same. This isn’t particularly noteworthy, but there is a link to a…
Last year I took a picture of the Skylon Tower concessions location on Murray Hill and posted about how there was a Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs location. The sign for Nathan’s is now gone, and it looks like it has been replaced with a Mr. Sub and DQ/Orange Julius location (which is also inside the…
From the Niagara Falls Review: Jay Cochrane’s first attempted wirewalk of the summer was canceled again Tuesday. There are still problems with the set-up of the wires, but Cochrane expects to make his first walk of the summer today at 4 p.m., weather permitting, at the Skylon Tower, said his media representative Mark Phillips. The…
