Regular visitor Dan let me know about this.
It isn’t in the main tourist districts of Clifton Hill or Fallsview, but downtown Niagara Falls (Queen Street) is becoming more of a destination for people. I’m not sure exactly who is in charge of what, but a group out of Maryland has created a marketing video for the district to attract developers and tenants. You can see it on YouTube or below:

Wow!!! I want to go there, it looks fabulous. 😉
It IS neat how they showed the new Visitor Transportation buses (or at least their vision of them) in the video.
Great promo video!!!!! 🙂
Interesting. actually – i would have come up for a production of “Rent” on Queen Street had they advertised it better. the first i heard of it was the announcement that it was shutting down!!
While i’m here – Niagara Blogger Friends – I need your advice.
I’m thinking of coming up in october. i was reading up and it seems that foliage “peak” is early october. I was thinking of coming up the weekend of the October 7th.
Question one – is that generally peak up there?
That is also Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend.
Question two – should that put me off coming that weekend? Mom and i accidentally came up on Canadian “memorial day” and there were too many people in our way. 🙂 if coming a week later clears out some people, i would probably come then.
thoughts???
Karen, Canadian Thanksgiving is not nearly the huge holiday that it is in the U.S., it is actually a pretty mellow weekend so there won’t be huge crowds to worry about.
Colours should be pretty good by then but, since it is really weather dependant, even a week later would be OK too.
