From the Niagara Gazette:
With a bird’s eye view of the roaring falls, members of the Niagara Falls Tourism Advisory Board met with a top state park official Monday to discuss future projects and partnerships.
“I truly believe the state of New York understands we can’t just have a situation where tourists come to the park … and then go directly back to their rooms,” Tourism Board Chairman Jerry Genova said. “We need them to come into our city and into our businesses.”
From the Worcester Telegram & Gazette News:
When Ginger Strand first heard the roar that fills the air around Niagara Falls she was hooked.
She was surprised by her reaction to the thundering rush of water. She was, after all, a college student who had come to the Falls with her boyfriend to smirk at the tacky surroundings and buy up kitschy souvenirs for her friends.
Yet as Strand explains in her new book, “Inventing Niagara: Beauty, Power, Lies” (Simon & Schuster, $25), Niagara Falls — and its complicated history — exert a magnetic pull.
I saw this billboard for Niagara’s Fury (the first one I’ve seen) on Stanley Avenue between Murray Hill and Robinson St.

As I was out for my walk today, I was going up Murray Hill and there were several police cars. As I got to Fallsview Blvd, I noticed there was a very large demonstration in front of the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort. There were dozens of people blowing whistles and holding up various signs. Some of the read:
- Don’t fold on fill-time
- Kickin’ ass for the working class
- All those dollars and no sense
- Full house, not a poor house
- Trying to live is a full-time job
- Families helping families
- United we stand, divided we starve
- Keep the rat from getting fat
There was also a pickup truck with a very large blow-up rat.
