Old power plant site eyed for Maid of Mist storage
From the Buffalo News: Maid of the Mist officials intend to keep their American tour boat operation afloat by building a storage facility on the site of the former Schoellkopf Power Plant near the falls. But state officials, pointing to red tape, environmental hurdles and timing, have not warmed to the idea. The plan, company…

From the Buffalo News: The Journey Behind the Falls, a tourist attraction that provides views from behind and beside the base of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, will be closed to visitors or will have limited access during the next two weeks as the Niagara Parks Commission conducts its annual spring maintenance along the rock wall…

Safari Niagara in August 2011 (pictures and videos)

Dave & Buster’s Rechargeable Power Card
The other day I was out for a walk and I found a shiney new Dave & Buster’s rechargeable Power Card. I’ve never played at D&B before, but apparently you buy points, and then use the card to pay for the games. I was kind of hoping that the card still had some value on…
