Canadian Niagara Hotels video

    I stumbled across this the other day… Veoh is one of the big video sharing sites out there. There is a user by the name of “cnhvideos” that has uploaded promotional videos for the Rainforest Cafe, Sheraton on the Falls Hotel, Fallsview Indoor Waterpark, and more (the Canadian Niagara Hotels properties). I have no way…

      Captive Killers – Junior

      I’m sure there are lots of anti-Marineland sites out there. I am certainly not going to post about every complaint, but I thought that this one was particularly interesting, because it mentions the “warehouse” that has caused some controversy for Marineland over the years. Junior was captured from Iceland in 1984. He was then transported…

        2007 Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory pamphlet

        I recently posted pictures and a video from the Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory. I was cleaning up some files and came across a scan of a 2007 pamphlet. At the time it was the 10th anniversary of the Butterfly Conservatory. I have created a PDF file of the pamphlet if you’d like to download it…

          The Running Fat Guy: Vacation – Day 2

          The Royal Canadian Henley Regatta was in St. Catharines recently, which brought some extra tourists to Niagara Falls. One of those posted about their trip on their Blogger blog: Now, Niagara Falls is a *huge* tourist trap. Everything here is expensive, and is tailored for tourism. Everything has a charge associated with it, from horrible…

                Falls Ave Adventure City

                I noticed a couple of months ago that there was a new logo for the former Super Hero Adventure City on Falls Ave. It is now just called Adventure City. I didn’t post about it as I was waiting for signs to change. Well, there has only been 1 sign changed to date. You can…

                  Bungalow of Inquisitive Minds: Day at the Falls

                  Someone with a Blogger blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls (with some pictures): We took the kids to see The Falls while we were away. Avery and I had been a couple of weeks before on her school trip. She had never been until this year. It was busy with tourists even…

                    It’s a beautiful day! (and a license plate hunt update)

                    Today is quite a bit cooler out, but it is just gorgeous walking along the parkway. The sun is shining and there are huge, white fluffy clouds. It’s a beautiful day for a walk! As I’m out walking, I’m still looking around for new license plates. I’ve recently added several new plates to the License…

                      Bridge traffic hit hard

                      From the Niagara Falls Review: After spending six days in a car and $400 worth of gas, Bryon Johnson and his wife, Melissa, arrived in Niagara Falls from California. “A plane ticket would’ve been more, actually, for both of us to fly,” said Melissa, shrugging her shoulders. “We wanted to see the country side,” Bryon…
