All things Niagara Falls tourism…
Someone with a Wordpress blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls (including being unimpressed with the non-tourist area):
Well, this was what we saw when we got off the bus that was suppose to bring us to Niagara Falls. This got us questioning ourselves whether we had got off the bus at the right stop. Where is the waterfall?!

Tourists teem in places such as Clifton Hill, Ferry Street, Victoria Park and Table Rock in Niagara Falls, but do they venture as far as the area of Optimist Park or Montrose Road north of Thorold Stone Road in the city’s north end?
The Home Depot next to Optimist Park and the A&P supermarket on Montrose Road think so. Both stores have asked for permission to be open for business on most statutory holidays through a tourist exemption under the Retail Business Holidays Act.
From Niagara This Week:
Two new additions to the Niagara Convention and Civic Centre design-and-build team will help it attain accreditation as an environmentally friendly building.
The design team for the convention centre has added the bridging compliance consultant services of the Zeidler Partnership, made up of Zeidler architects/consultants and the HNTB architectural/programming firm.

We can’t see Jimi Hendrix any more. Barring a miracle, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin will never tour again. The Eagles will cost you $200.
Yep, classic rock fans have it rough these days. But for five Fridays this summer, Zooz is their fix.
For the fifth straight year, the Stevensville animal house will bring Toronto-based Classic Albums Live to its outdoor amphitheatre, starting with “Led Zeppelin IV” tonight.
The company’s motto is “note for note, cut for cut.” And they aren’t kidding - composed of professional musicians, every album is faithfully reproduced down to the smallest detail. It has won Classic Albums Live a huge North American fanbase.
The Zooz shows are among Niagara’s biggest concert draws, averaging about 3,500 people per show.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Removing the provincial sales tax applied to hotel stays and attractions would provide an economic boost for tourist towns like Niagara Falls, says Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory.
Doing so would also benefit families and businesses struggling through challenging economic times made worse by skyrocketing energy costs, he said.
“It might just tip the balance for people who are thinking, in light of gas prices, not to take that weekend in Niagara Falls, whether they be from Toronto or London, or, for that matter, Buffalo,” Tory said during a visit to the Cataract City Thursday.
He was joined by Niagara-West Glanbrook MPP Tim Hudak, the party’s finance critic and a former tourism minister, and Niagara Falls Mayor Ted Salci.
