From the Niagara Falls Review:
Pain at the pumps could convince some travellers to cut back on spending and rethink their travel plans. But for those taking a stroll around Table Rock Tuesday, the allure of the magnificent falls was just too much to resist.
“It’s pretty awesome, such a spectacular view,†said Tom Morrisett, who brought his wife and kids to Niagara Falls from Richmond, Va. for the first time.
“A tank of gas to come here cost me about $65 and an ice cream bar $5, among other things. But going under the falls and experiencing the (Maid of the Mist) boat ride was something else.
“We like it and will come back sometime.â€
Tourism in Niagara has been kind of like the weather so far this summer: Unpredictable.
