I’ve walked by this sign at the Stanley Motor Inn hundreds of times, but the other day I saw this and it made me laugh out loud. I always thought it was an old-school sign, but the other daying seeeing that they highlighted the Color T.V. just seemed particularly funny. Could you imagine going to…

The other night I was by Dinosaur Adventure Golf on Clifton Hill. It was a beautiful evening, and the place was packed. Everything looks fantastic all lit up! (the pictures were taken with my cell phone, so they aren’t great)
All sorts of work was done on the old Wolfgang Puck Cafe to turn it into Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville. However, the patio remained essentially unchanged. The worst looking part was the fact that the tiles on the side of the patio were in various stages of disrepair. Some were gone, some were cracked, and some…
As I mentioned back in April, the former Cantina Charlies is going to reopen at some point as Johnny Peppers (or so the sign said). I was am a little surprised that it isn’t open yet, and it hasn’t seemed like there was much work going on. However, since last week, they’ve taken down the…

In 2007, the family business, Canadian Niagara Hotels, sold the old Holiday Inn at the corner of Third Street and Rainbow Boulevard to make way for its demolition as part of the…
Marineland has been out of the news for a few years now. I occasionally see a very small group of protestors outside the park, but other than that, it’s been quiet. That all changed this week when a lawsuit and court decision came to light about the male Orca whale they have on loan from…
From the Niagara Falls Review (includes a video and some pictures): Back when it was still called WWF wrestling and Hulk Hogan ruled the ring with his headband and tear-away shirt, Paul Lemire started buying up the rubber action figures that most boys under the age of 12 would covet and then ultimately forget about…
From the Globe and Mail: Nik Wallenda walked his first tightrope when he was 2. He’s bicycled 45 metres across a wire suspended 20 storeys high. He even proposed to his wife on a high wire. But the famed funambulist’s most hair-raising feat yet may be a political one: persuading g the embattled government agency…
