From the Buffalo News:
It seemed like an event that even Niagara Falls couldn’t screw up.The son of a famous wire-walking family wanted to tempt fate at the region’s natural wonder.
A national television network agreed to give the city more free advertising than it could buy.
And thousands of people were vying to get tickets to watch the event live.
But just one month after Nik Wallenda walked into history over the falls, the inspirational feat has become yet another source of division in a city known for infighting and dysfunction.
