Unfortunately the web site doesn’t show the picture the article refers to, but the Niagara Falls Review had an article about Lundy’s Lane: The photo at the left was taken in 1946. It shows a part of the Lundy’s Lane Tourist Camp, which sat on the south side of the Lane beside the Queen Elizabeth…

It was a notice for a Liquor License Application (due by February 2). Apparently that location is becoming Cantina Charlies Niagara Falls. I did a quick search and there is…
Someone with a Blogger blog has a very good (and lengthy) blog posting about their trip to Niagara Falls. They stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge and visited several area attractions.

Niagara This Week has an article about the Cystic Fibrosis Loonie day. It has contact information for the foundation and a complete list of participating attractions: Anyone finding themselves with a pocketful of change and nothing else to do this Sunday except laze on the couch should round up the family and head down to…
