From Niagara This Week:
One of Niagara Falls’ oldest hotels will close its doors forever in two weeks, making way for further redevelopment on the ever-changing Clifton Hill.
The Quality Inn, which first opened in the 1950s, will close Oct. 13, completing a series of changes already seen throughout the once expansive property.
Once considered the largest hotel in the area, the inn featured the Fallsview restaurant and the popular Thunderbird Room night club, which hosted regular live entertainment for locals and tourists alike.
According to Pat Clary, the hotel’s director of marketing, the inn will be demolished and replaced by various retail establishments and restaurants.
“The hotel isn’t being sold, it’s closing,” Clary said. “This is merely because the land was not being used properly.”
The property is still owned by the Oakes family, the iconic family behind many businesses on the Hill.

this isn’t related to this article - but i had to put this out here.
You know you’ve visited Niagara Falls too many times when….
You receive one of those random “joke” emails that include images of funny situations - one of which is two cars jammed together trying to get through a toll booth at the same time - and you IMMEDIATELY know that the toll booth is on the inbound road that skirts past Buffalo.
i knew by the proximity of the drawbridge in the background to the toll booth. AND because those toll booths weren’t operational for a while - which means people were speeding thru them - which made this crazy situation a bit more likely. AND if I’m not mistaken, they have since removed those toll booths.
Yeah….the cars had New York plates…and after investigation…it was verified in a blog somewhere by the phrase - “this could only happen in Buffalo”.
I need help.

I’m excited but not as excited as I would be if I knew the economy was not in the shitter. The way things are right now with the US having their meltdown and the whole world panicking it’s not gonna be the amusement park we all been wanting it will be something much smaller and not as exciting. With so much uncertainty in our economy I’m even surprised they are doing anything at all at the moment.
But I say bring on the rides and roller coasters if they build something good enough people will still come!
Not a big deal StEC, but please try to avoid using the sorts of words that are at the end of your first sentence…

You channel surf into a scene in a movie where you don’t know any of the cast, and suddenly two members of the cast are filmed driving in a car (filmed from the inside of the car). Just as suddenly, you realize that the scenery passing by is strangely familiar, namely on one of the “90″ routes around the Falls. Now..you haven’t seen any indication of the Falls until later in the film which, in one scene, has a cast member making a phone call from a phone booth at the beginning of the bridge going into Goat Island!!!! This is somewhat like the “orange juice for Lois” scene in the Superman movie. What the….?
Tell me that Karen and her family haven’t visited the Falls too many times.
On second thought….don’t tell me.
like the opening scene of “Trapped in Paradise” - I knew that was NOTL!
