A visitor recently asked what used to be at the current Outback Steakhouse location on Victoria Ave. I answered that it has been a variety of restaurants. Well, the other day I noticed a sign on the back of the building and it reminded me of what it used to be called. For the longest…
The work going on at Kelsey’s on Clifton Hill continues. A new concrete patio was poured, and there is some sort of structure going up.
From CANOE.ca: One of Canada’s best-kept secrets is about to have its cover blown. The Niagara region, home to award-winning wineries, entertainment and the famed Falls, is also where farm-to-table eating has deep roots. The earth is rich in these parts with a bounty that includes an astonishing array of fruits, vegetables and the coveted…
The renovations that were being done in the Great Canadian Midway on Clifton Hill seem to be done now. There are more signs for Wendy’s inside the midway, new flashing blue/red/white lights going around half the midway, new sign above the redemption area, and a brand new ride. There is used to be a motion…

The new building that is going up at the corner of Ellen Ave and Centre St (former Ma Agretto’s building) has some nice stone work on the front now. Overall, the building seems to be progressing quite slowly. I wonder how long it will be before it is open.
On Monday, there were railings put up outside Antica Pizzeria to outline the patio. There is an area on each side of the restaurant.
The fencing is down from around the new Wyndham Garden on Stanley Avenue and grass has been put down. It looks like the outside is virtually done. I wonder what is is like inside. Apparently the restaurant at the hotel is going to be a Perkins.
There is a new fence at the back of Marineland. This might not seem like much, but they had one at all before. You could just climb up over the hill/berm and end up right beside Dragon Mountain. It always amazed me that they didn’t have a fence, and now they finally do.
The parking lot on the south side of the new Wyndham Garden was recently paved. The web site says it is opening in April 2012, so if it isn’t open yet, it should be opening very soon.
