I don’t know if these are related, or if they are two different projects…
I posted before that there was construction at the Domino’s on Clifton Hill. Well, it looks like the Domino’s is gone.
Just as a reminder, the Domino’s was below the Burger King. On Oneida Lane (also underneath the Burger King), there was a place called Chocolate Candyland
There are two notices on the door/window of Chocolate Candyland. One is from the lawyer of IPCO Enterprises kicking out their sub-tenant.
The other is a notice from city claiming that they failed to obtain a building permit
Again, I don’t know how/if this is connected.
Movieland Wax Museum of Stars on Clifton Hill has a new display at the street. It is a pirate ship and has Captain Jack Sparrow (played by Johnny Depp) and Will Turner (played by Orlando Bloom).
I think the set and costumes look great. The facial features of the characters are ok.
From Niagara This Week:
Letting world-renowned tightrope walker Jay Cochrane walk his fine line over Niagara Falls would be an appropriate way to celebrate the glorious cataract’s natural wonder and its long and rich history, says a St. Catharines film maker who hopes to capture the historic event through the eye of his lens.
“When I think of the falls, I think of tightrope walkers and stunts,” said Jay Cheel, a 29-year-old St. Catharines man who is working on a documentary about Cochrane’s bid to cross Niagara Falls as a grande finale to his illustrious career. “It’s been 100 years since someone crossed the falls, so no one has seen it.”
Cheel began filming his documentary last year. He was looking for a project which would present a fresh and interesting light on the world-famous cataract that often slips to the back of minds of locals. He was shooting in Niagara Falls when he heard about Cochrane and his pitch to cross the falls.
For those who have been following the blog, you’ll know that I was interviewed by Jay Cheel last September. I’ve also updated you several times about the progress. It’s an interesting project, and his “promo” video is very well done.

From the Niagara Falls Review:
Maid of the Mist No. 5 was the first of its contingent to test the waters this year, as the 72-foot-long vessel was slowly lowered into the Niagara River Saturday morning.
A tradition touted as the unofficial first sign of spring in Western New York and Southern Ontario, Maid of the Mist operators will be testing and inspecting its four tour boats throughout the next week in preparation for the season opening, Friday.
The 24-foot wide vessel, built to carry 300 passengers in the 1980s, started down the marine railway at the Maid of the Mist Landing at around 10:30 a.m. and took about 15 minutes for crews to complete the launch and secure the dock.
