From the Buffalo News: A $66,100 agreement to pay for an assessment of conditions at the Aquarium of Niagara, 701 Whirlpool St., was approved Wednesday by directors of the USA Niagara Development Corp., a subsidiary of the Empire State Development Corp. The assessment is intended to help the aquarium make informed decisions about future reconstruction…
From the Buffalo News: A resort that would consist of the tallest buildings in Niagara Falls, Ont., is in the works. Developers Ralph Terrio and Hunter Milborne are moving forward on plans for two gleaming towers, one with 61 stories, the other with 60 stories, on River Road near the Rainbow Bridge. The project cleared…
When Dave & Busters opened on Clifton Hill, they didn’t have any of the attractions ready inside, just the arcade games. They added some new attractions and themeing (Captain Jack), and just recently added a couple of other things. I’m not sure what they are (their web site hasn’t been updated yet), but there is…

Sugar Mountain Candy Store used to take up both sides of the building they were in. It didn’t take long for it to downsize to just one side, but the other side remained mostly empty. This Spring a new store opened beside it. It is both a Crepe de Licious and a Froshberg Gelato location….
