From WIVB CHannel 7 in Buffalo: The site of the former Snow Park in Niagara Falls is getting new life again. Smokin Joe Anderson scrapped the Snow Park idea and created a Native American themed destination. Now a report in this week’s Business First says he plans to put athletic fields on the site. The…
From the Buffalo News: So, now Niagara Falls is on its own high-wire act: Can it do what is necessary to bring a Wallenda family entertainment center to the city or will it stumble, allowing the other Niagara Falls – the thriving one that knows how to make the most of a good thing –…
From the Associated Press (via WHAM 1180 in Rochester): Wire walker Nik Wallenda says he’s looking at the U.S. side of Niagara Falls to put a semi-permanent entertainment center. Wallenda made history in June when he became the first person to walk on a tightrope directly over the precipice of the falls. He tells local…
Did any of you take the survey that was mentioned in the most recent Clifton Hill Update? They did something similar to this back in October 2007 when they asked people about their thoughts on a Titanic attraction in Niagara Falls (there is no Titanic attraction on Clifton Hill yet).

(Note: I had a couple of drafts get posted. Sorry about this. This is the proper posting) I’ve posted at least 7 times about the Ma Agretto (start here and work backwards from there). Ma Agretto’s was torn down, Jack’s Cantina burned down, and now the new building where Ma Agretto’s was is now a…
I posted a few weeks ago about some work that was being done on the sidewalk along Victoria Avenue at the top of Clifton Hill. The work is done now, and it looks quite nice.
From the Buffalo News: A multimillion-dollar plan to convert a 1960s Niagara Falls hotel into upscale lodging has received $1.5 million from the USA Niagara Development Corp. The project to rehabilitate the 135,000-square-foot Days Inn Hotel on Main Street into a Courtyard by Marriott will cost $10.9 million. NFNY Hotel Managament owns the property, which…
Yesterday when I was out walking, I saw this sign on Murray St: I thought that the WEGO bus system (to replace the People Mover system) was supposed to be starting up soon, so I thought maybe this was a temporary sign, maybe even a temporary bus stop. I went home and checked the website…
