From the Niagara Falls Review: Prime Minister Stephen Harper hosted a roundtable for owners and operators of tourism businesses in Niagara Thursday to hear their perspectives on the current challenges and future opportunities facing their industry. “Domestic and international tourism are major sources of economic activity on the Niagara Peninsula, just as they are in…
I’m not really afraid of heights, but I certainly wouldn’t be comfortable being way up there on the Niagara SkyWheel!
I don’t post this as any sort of criticism. I can only imagine how hard/costly/time consuming it must be to keep everything working in tip top shape. I just happened to notice this the other day, and figured I’d post about it. There were lots of lights/signs that need some work on Falls Avenue: The…

Remarkably, it looks a great deal like the…
From the Long Island International Travel Examiner: Make a run for the border (the other one) to get away this holiday weekend. The Ontario side of Niagara Falls has many popular restaurants, bars, attractions and, of course, those Falls. (Do you know there are several different ones?) When I drove there in July, it took…
