USA Exotics Expo

The Americana Conference Resort & Spa is hosting the USA Exotics Expo on September 1, 2007. The flyer looks innocent enough, but when I visited the web site, it’s mostly featuring girls in very skimpy bikinis. It seems like an odd thing for the Americana to host given their family-oriented water park.

Yesterday I received another newsletter from the Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel & Spa (I think they always send their emails out on a Thursday). They are promoting packages with “luxury accommodations and amenities.”

Horseshoe falls coin ’spectacular’: Salci

From Niagara This Week:

A new coin featuring a photographic hologram of the horseshoe falls is being called a spectacular tribute to the city’s world-famous cataract by Mayor Ted Salci.

“It’s unique. I think it will be a collector’s item,” said Salci, who bought four coins to give out as gifts after he was presented one by the Royal Canadian Mint.

“It’s spectacular.”

Niagara Parks may consider falls wire walk

From Niagara This Week:

The Niagara Parks Commission said it will consider a proposal from wire walker Jay Cochrane to walk a tightrope over Niagara Falls, but it wants to see a full business plan first.

Cochrane, renowned for his wire walks, is in the city this summer performing wire walks daily near the Skylon Tower. Cochrane, 63, said it’s been a 40-year goal to cross over Niagara Falls. Cochrane, who raises money for children during his performances, said he hopes to raise half a billion dollars doing the walk.
