On Saturday I received a short update from Niagara Frontier:
This is a news update from Niagara Frontier Info!

Apparently a former sea lion trainer at Marineland (who has a Blogger blog) quit his job. He’d rather be a tech support person for cell phones! He posted a video of himself with a sea lion with these comments:
Anyway this is me doing my old job, I think it’s very apparent as to why I had to quit! (I’m not the sea lion!)
From the Niagara Falls Review:
It’s no secret 2007 has not been one of the tourism industry’s better years in Niagara Falls. Of particular concern is the fact there have been fewer visitors from the United States. Various causes, such as the high Canadian dollar and confusion about what documents are needed at the border, have played a part in the decline.
This type of situation is, of course, not new. Tourism here has always been a cyclical business - the numbers rise, fall, then rise again. For example, there was also a notable decrease in visitors to Niagara Falls way back in 1881. In the fall of that year, after the “tourist season” was over, The Review decided to analyze the situation. In a hard-hitting, front-page editorial published Nov. 18, 1881, the paper provided a lengthy commentary on why, as it was phrased, “Niagara Falls is being shunned by the great multitude of pleasure seekers.”
