All things Niagara Falls tourism…
I found another interesting site that talks about the Harry Oakes murder. The Crime & Investigation Network is a channel available in the UK and they have a section of their site that covers the events. The section is split up in the following smaller sections:
From the Buffalo News:
Twenty people scrambled to safety after an elevator malfunction left them stuck inside one of the yellow bug-like lifts near the top of the 520-foot Skylon Tower, the city’s tallest structure.
The elevator stopped at about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday between floors to the Summit Suite dining room and the observation deck, Lee Carr, the Skylon’s director of marketing, said Wednesday.
From Niagara This Week:
The owners of Thundering Waters Golf Course are planning to build a high-end condominium subdivision with a 10-storey apartment tower on the property, but local residents want developers to find a way to preserve what’s left of the urban forest.
Residents aired their concerns Tuesday at a neighbourhood meeting with Rick Brady, the UEM planner hired by the Matovic family and its partners who own the property, and Italia Gilberti, the group’s lawyer.
The development would see 74 single detached houses and 35 townhouses built along the fairways of the John Daly signature course, as well as a 10-storey 150-unit apartment building.
Brady said there is no price tag set for the project and the first two holes of the golf course would have to be moved to accommodate the new development.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Fill up the printer ink cartridges and load up the letterhead.
The St. Catharines-Thorold Chamber of Commerce is urging its members to send a letter to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security asking it to modify the requirement that anyone entering the U.S. will need a passport by June 2009.
The intent is to convince U.S. decision makers to reconsider the controversial Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative taking its toll on the local tourism industry.
“Take it upon yourself, if you believe this to be an important economic matter in the future of Niagara, take this (letter) put your name on it and mail it,” said Walter Sendzik, chamber executive vice-president and general manager.
