So, are you sick of all this rain? How about some snow 🙂 I took some pictures earlier this year in February/March. We had lots of snow and there was lots of ice at Table Rock Place. I took some pictures and posted them in the Niagara Falls in Winter 2007/2008 gallery. As is usually…
From the Chronicle Herald in Halifax, Nova Scotia (originally from the Kingston, Whig-Standard in Kingston, Ontario): My son and I are standing behind the Fallsview Casino Resort, only 200 metres from the Niagara Falls. Seeing pictures of one of the most famous natural wonders in the world isn’t the same as experiencing it in person….
Someone with a LiveJournal blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls: Since it was Thursday it was not too crowded which was super nice. We walked around Clifton hill. It’s basically the tourist trap full of fast food and hotels, ripley’s, haunted houses, buffets, and starbucks. We walked up to the Fallsview Casino…
Last Thursday I received the latest newsletter from the Americana Conference Resort & Spa. They are promoting a special rate for August. I’m not sure what the 72 hour sale is referring to. It doesn’t indicate when that rate is available to be booked. If it was 72 hours from the time the email went…
Honeymoon Suite will be releasing a new album later this year that they have called Clifton Hill “in honor of the ‘Falls’, where Johnnie and [Derry] started out many years ago. We felt the music had a renewed energy and somewhat of a creative return to the HMS of the 80’s. So we thought the…
From the Buffalo News: In an age long before cell phones, word spread quickly, and soon, hundreds of people were focused on a spot about 850 yards from the Niagara River shore, about a half-mile from the brink of the Horseshoe Falls. Looking back were two men from Buffalo, perched atop a scow they prayed…
From the Niagara Falls Review: When Bob Gale had to pinpoint who he thinks is responsible for “wrongdoing” at the Niagara Parks Commission, he pointed the finger directly at chairman Jim Williams. It’s how he answered question No. 12 on the provincial integrity commissioner’s “disclosure of wrongdoing form” which Gale, who has sat on the…
Someone with a Blogger blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls: Next stop was Niagara Falls, Canada. We took a boat ride on the “Maid of the Mist” right up next to the falls. We were all literally drenched in spite of the rain ponchos they gave us. It was a pretty incredible…
From the Niagara Falls Review: The rusty scow – perched on a small piece of land in the Niagara River about 2,500 feet above the Horseshoe Falls -is a reminder of what could have been. Today it remains an icon for millions of tourists, easily visible from shore stranded on its perch just above the…
I often listen to the sports radio station in Toronto (CJCL, The Fan 590). I often download Prime Time Sports and listen to it as I go for a walk at lunch. The Monday, July 28, 2008 show had someone on who was going to Beijing for the Olympics and they were talking about food….
