New player in race for Falls’ tallest building
From the Niagara Falls Review: When Ralph Terrio and Hunter Milborne announced they had bought the Niagara Falls Aviary and Michael’s Inn hotel buildings three months ago, they were coy about their future plans.

Jay Cochrane’s Skywalks
I haven’t had a chance yet to see Jay Cochrane walk the wire from the Skylon Tower to the Hilton Fallsview tower. I’ve seen him before and thought it was an excellent show. Apparently there are a couple of great ways to see the walk. The first is to be there in person. You can…

The Royal Cafe
As I posted before, the AAAA Royal Hotel is now the Fallsview Lodge. They modified one of the rooms on the Ferry St side to become a small cafe. It looked like it was almost ready to open, and then the other day I saw a notice on the window. Apparently they did all of…

From the Buffalo News: Perhaps more than any other free, outdoor concert series in Western New York, Hard Rock Rocks Old Falls Street is presented as a community event more than just a big concert with basic concessions.
