Last June I linked to an article in the Detroit Free Press about 10 ways to see the Falls. This article was picked up by the wire services and for several days my Google Alerts had links to dozens of reprints of the article. Well, I guess the Miami Herald is a bit behind. They…
From the Niagara Falls Review: A construction worker from Niagara was airlifted to Sunnybrook hospital in Toronto after falling about five metres at a construction site in Niagara Falls. The man was in “serious but stable condition†when his stretcher was loaded onto the helicopter which touched down in the parking lot of the Imax…
From the Niagara Falls Review: Hey Thunder Bay! Where’s your Sleeping Giant now? Yet another accolade was showered upon Niagara Falls Tuesday, as the world-famous waterfall was declared “Canada’s Most Dependable Landmark.” Niagara Falls was inducted into the “Dependability Hall of Fame” Tuesday. It’s an Internet thing (www.maytagdepnedabilityhalloffame.ca). You can’t pack up the kids in…
From Niagara This Week: Earth Hour fever is starting to catch on in the city as residents and businesses prepare to turn out the lights for at least one hour Saturday night. A webpage for residents to sign their names and their Earth Hour plans on is up and running on the city’s website, www.niagarafalls.ca….
This morning I received the latest update from Niagara’s Fury. They are asking people to guess what the attraction is. I’ve got an idea… why don’t they tell us what it is!
With all of the demolition happening at the old Pilgrim Restaurant (future East Side Mario’s?), I wondered if they were going to tear down the whole building. Well, it looks like that is NOT the case. They have added “I” beams to the top of the existing ones and so the roof will be a…
Late last week (Thursday or Friday I think), the Fun Pass offered for many of the Clifton Hill attractions was expanded. Prior to this, for $25, the Fun Pass used to include the following: Niagara SkyWheel Movieland Wax Museum Galaxy Golf or Dinosaur Park Miniature Golf Ghost Blasters Cosmic Coaster (FX ride) 10 or 15…
Speaking of Canada’s interesting cannabis laws (and Niagara Falls being close to the border), High Times is closing. It has been open for just under a year, so I assume that the lease is up, and either the landlord wouldn’t renew it with them, or the store declined to renew.
I’m not up on all of the “lingo”, but apparently 420 has to do with cannibas (“pot”) culture. Because highway 420 ends in Niagara Falls, the city often ends up with a “sit-in” or something similar on April 20 (4/20 day). Anyway, one of my Google alerts brought to my attention a writeup from the…
From the Niagara Falls Review: The new Spring in Bloom Concerts is expected to attract 7,000 people to the city in May. The concert series, hosted by the Winter Festival of Lights, recently secured $75,000 from the Ministry of Tourism’s Celebrate Ontario 2008 program. The Niagara Falls event was one of seven Niagara recipients to…
