I am starting some vacation time, so posting will probably be slower than normal next week. If anything exciting happens, feel free to email me or leave a comment on a post…
Happy Halloween!

Someone with a Blogger blog reminisces about a trip to a Niagara Falls haunted house:
Once, when I was young, foolish, and brand-newly wed, Hubby and I went to a haunted house. I’d never been in one, having been to few carnivals in my younger days. So, we spotted one on
Tourist TrapClifton Hill at Niagara Falls on our honeymoon. Hubby suggested we go in and I (foolishly) agree.

From the Niagara Falls Review:
High steel prices could force the Niagara Convention and Civic Centre to hit up the provincial and federal governments for more cash on top of the $70 million they’ve already chipped in.
Project director Dragan Matovic confirmed the city and convention centre team have “approached” representatives at both levels “with a view to obtaining additional funding” for construction costs.
“We’re being prudent in anticipation of some of the events occurring across the world … We don’t know if this is an issue as of yet,” he said in an interview Tuesday.
Someone with a Friendster blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls:
The first night was spent at Niagara Falls. There is a lane called Clifton Hill filled with fun & entertainment (perfect for kids) near Niagara Falls. We walked down the lane, taking pictures of every interesting we saw. There were Ripley’s, Guinness, Brick City, Hershey’s, Coca Cola’s, Hard Rock Cafe, MGM Studios, and even Planet Hollywood. As we came to the end of the lane, the sound of the falls caught our ears. And there is was. The beautiful great Niagara Falls. Seen live from Canada. And it was just amazing.

From the Niagara Falls Review:
It took a lot of hard work, but the end result is well appreciated by those who use the path leading down to the Whirlpool area of the Niagara Gorge.
“The difference is like night and day,” said Steve Wilson, who worked on the project with his wife, Lisa, and a group of fellow firefighters from the Niagara Falls Fire Department, the Niagara Parks Commission and people who just showed up because they wanted to help.
New stairs have been installed and repairs were carried out to existing steps where the stones and gravel had slowly been washed away after many years of use.
From Niagara This Week:
Patrons of the Winter Festival of Lights will be able to take advantage of another event this year.
Organizers have added an access pass to their package of entertainment options, which will gain admission to three of Niagara’s top attractions, including Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum; the ‘yellow bug’ elevator ride to the top of the Skylon tower; and the world’s largest indoor free-flying aviary at the Bird Kingdom.
The Attractions Pass offers a 40 per cent discount versus walk-in admission and is a described as a “weather-proof” way to experience the Falls, with all attractions hosted indoors.
On Tuesday I received the latest newsletter from the Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview & Spa.

A Blogger blog with the name Extreme Engineering has a generic write-up about the Niagara SkyWheel:
The Niagara SkyWheel is a 175 feet (53 m) tall Ferris wheel located in the middle of Clifton Hill, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. It has 42 gondolas, which are heated in the winter and air conditioned in the warmer months, each able to hold six passengers.The ride is approximately ten minutes long, giving the passengers views of the Niagara River, and both the Horseshoe and American Falls, and is open all year.
