New Montana’s sign

A few months ago I posted that the Montana’s sign on Victoria Avenue had been taken down. Well, a new one is up now, and it has an LED display as well. However, I haven’t seen the LED sign working yet.

East Side Mario’s windows

This isn’t anything earth shattering, but I thought I’d point out that it appears the new East Side Mario’s on Clifton Hill is going to have windows along Clifton Hill and along Oneida Lane.

In the previous posting, you can see that on the East side of the building, there will be no windows. I thought this was a little strange, as you would be able to look down Clifton Hill from that side of the building.

Casablanca Loung open

The Casablanca Lounge (the former Filling Station) is now open:

The Filling Station becoming Casablanca Lounge

The Filling Station on Victoria Ave is undergoing some renovations and will reopen as the Casablanca Lounge.

Table Rock Place construction almost complete

I haven’t heard anything else about Niagara’s Fury and whether or not it will be open today. However, the other day I took a couple of pictures of the contruction going on at Table Rock Place, and it looks almost done.

Al Macs open for business

After some pretty extensive renovations, Al Macs (at the corner of Ferry St and Stanley Ave) is open for business again. The restaurant certainly looks better on the outside, and there is a nice large patio as well.

East Side Mario’s construction update

The new East Side Mario’s (has this been confirmed yet?) seems to have slowed down. Certainly from an outsiders point of view, it doesn’t look like they’ve gotten much done in the last few weeks.

The Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls Canada Announces Free Admission to a Popular Niagara Falls Attraction When Enjoying Niagara Fallsview Dining

Wow, that’s a long title! The following is from a press release at Hospitality Net from the Skylon Tower:

The Skylon Tower announces FREE admission to the popular Niagara Falls attraction Ride-to-the-Top and Indoor/Outdoor Observation Decks when dining. Visitors to Niagara Falls can combine the experience of this favorite Niagara Falls attraction with the best of Niagara Fallsview dining. Admission to the Skylon Tower Niagara Falls attraction is included FREE when dining in the Skylon world-famous Revolving Dining Room or the Skylon family-affordable Summit Suite Buffet Dining Room. Both are located 775 feet above the mighty Falls and provide once-in-a-lifetime panoramic views of Niagara Falls.

You mean to tell me it hasn’t always been free?!?!

Victoria Day weekend construction update

I can’t believe it is that time again. This weekend (Victoria Day weekend) and next weekend (Memorial Day weekend) mark the unofficial start of summer. Even though there are troubles in the economy, there seems to be some optimism going into the season, and there has been a fair amount of changes happening over the last few months. Here is a rather large update:



Al Macs is coming along. The building with its sign looks quite nice



Bronto’s Adventure Playland is open again


During the winter, the Criminal Hall of Fame was charging $5. Now it’s up to $6. I wonder how high it will go…


The sign for Cosmic Coaster is down having been replaced by 3 flat panel TVs and an FX Ride Theatre sign


They seem to be making good progress now. But is it 52, 62, or 72 storeys?



They are doing some painting at the Lodge Inn & Suites


The hotdog was missing for a long time. It’s back now


Sugar Mountain is open now. It opened last Thursday (8 days ago). The store is quite spacious, but the stuff is expensive!

Update to the “Beginning of May construction update”

Here are a couple of other things I should have included in the last update:

House of Cuban Cigars and Mini Mart on Clifton Hill
The former Domino’s on Clifton Hill is now a “House of Cuban Cigars & Mini Mart”

Al Macs construction update
They built the “tower” for Al Macs on the ground, and I originally thought they were gazebos. I know some of you think this is going to be an IHOP, but there still aren’t any signs, so I think it is just an Al Macs renovation.
