      Continuing with the posting from yesterday, the Friday image gallery is of Marvel Super Heroes Adventure City. I went in yesterday to check it out and was a little surprised with the changes.

        In my posting on the Skylon Tower web site, Adam left a comment about the closed level. I’ve noticed before the level that is closed, but I figured I’d take a picture so you’d know what he was talking about. There are escalators on either side of the tower that go down to the games…

              Country Hearth Inn & Suites

              A couple of weeks ago, the Lodge Near the Falls (which only had that name for 10 months) changed it’s name and sign to Country Hearth Inn & Suites. As you can see by the picture, they still haven’t changed the sign on top of the hotel. I don’t have any idea why they changed…

                Menus – Niagara’s Dining & Entertainment Magazine

                There are lots of different magazines and fliers that are around.

                      From the Niagara Falls Review: Anyone brave enough to stroll around the base of the Skylon Tower while the winter wind still blows has only the frigid temperatures to fear. No falling ice. “We’re clear. We have no ice whatsoever,” said Walt Scozzafava, maintenance manager for the Skylon Tower.
