From the Lockport Union-Sun & Journal:
It appears that the declining value of the U.S. dollar means more than just overcrowded mall parking lots on weekends.
The cable financial network CNBC sent a crew to the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls USA on Tuesday to examine the issue, which has seen the U.S. dollar worth virtually the same as the Canadian dollar ($1 U.S. traded for $1.0011 Canadian on Tuesday afternoon, according to The Associated Press) for the first time in three decades.
While that has an obvious impact on locals  such as parking lots littered with Ontario license plates and longer lines entering the United States  the story is important to all Americans, according to CNBC correspondent Brian Shactman.
