I drive past this hotel every morning and every afternoon as I go to/from work! Some of the hotels on those back streets are kind of “sketchy”. From Niagara This Week: Police have arrested a 43-year-old Niagara Falls man after unknown chemicals were discovered in a Niagara Falls motel room Monday evening. The discovery led…
From WIVB Channel 4 in Buffalo: “We’re going to make this place a better place,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said while visiting Niagara Falls Thursday.
