All things Niagara Falls tourism…
On Friday I received the latest newsletter from Hooters. With March Madness starting soon, they are promoting the games and the fact that you can watch them in the restaurant.

From the Buffalo News:
A decrepit Goat Island pedestrian bridge and a leaking roof in the visitor center at Prospect Point are just two repair jobs in a $650 million backlog in park improvements statewide, State Parks Commissioner Carol Ash said at a tourism meeting Friday.
Ash hailed Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer’s proposed $100 million capital works program for state parks, 20 percent of which would go to “critical needs” in Western New York.
If approved by the State Legislature, it would be the single largest investment in the state’s parks system, Ash said.
“Tourism translates into jobs and that’s where the governor’s head is,” Ash told more than 100 tourism leaders and elected officials at a breakfast meeting in the Conference Center Niagara Falls.
From TMCnet:
It’s a tale of two cities, and from the American standpoint it’s a pressing one. At just about every step of the way through the years, leaders in Niagara Falls, Ont., have made good economic development decisions — and leaders in Niagara Falls, N.Y., have bungled them.
Growth and prosperity on the Canadian side of the waterfall — decay and poverty on the American side. It’s time to rewrite that story.
