Last night my wife, Lisa, was telling me about a commercial she heard on the radio earlier in the day. She thinks it was on 105.1 The River. She heard a commercial for the new Topple Tower ride at Marineland. It was a little girl describing to her father the ride, about how it spins…
Someone recorded on their AOL Journal about their trip to Niagara Falls: While at Niagara Falls, we signed up for a tour and a bus took us around to some of the popular attractions. Here they are- in reverse order of the tour (ghaaa!). The best, we feel, was the Maid of the Mist tour….
As I reported back in March, my wife and I went to the Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls for our 10th Anniversary. We had been several times before with the kids, but had never been there before as a couple. If you haven’t been able to tell from previous postings, we love the Great…
The Niagara International Kite Festival will be held in Niagara Falls, NY from September 27 to 30. Kite flyers from all over the world, including world record holder Ray Bethell are coming. The site has a nice photo gallery, history section, and videos.

I’ve already posted the pictures and video I took of the fireworks display that Pizza Pizza sponsored. Chris (a contributor to the Niagara Falls Blog) has posted some of his pictures in a nice gallery that uses Flash.
Although work is still progressing on Niagara Freefall, I doubt it will be open before the end of summer.
From the Niagara Falls Review: It was bumper to bumper traffic at Niagara border crossings over the weekend as motorists made a mass exodus south of the border. A holiday weekend typically results in a backlog at the bridges – and there was no reprieve for drivers this time. In some instances, drivers trapped in…
