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…

Someone with a LiveJournal blog posted about some trips to Niagara Falls: Things have definitely improved in the five years since George and I have been together. I remember getting a phone call the first January, saying he wouldn’t be home for three days. He’d gone to a spa for a retreat. What the #*#*#????…
