I’ve never heard of him, but Movieland Wax Museum of Stars on Clifton Hill has a new wax figure of Shah Rukh Khan. I may not have known who he was before I saw this sign, but there are a lot of people who do know and love him. He is a Bollywood actor who has…
This isn’t directly related to Niagara Falls, but many visitors do make a trip into Niagara-on-the-Lake when the come. From the Cleveland.com: American soldiers burned charming Niagara-on-the-Lake to the ground in late 1813, a brutal act in the ongoing War of 1812. Lucky for us, the Canadians rebuilt – because Americans have been enjoying this…
From The Hawk Eye (in Burlington, Iowa): Our first glimpse of Niagara Falls was from the Rainbow Bridge, which connects the United States and Canada. It was the end of a long day on the road when we arrived in northwest New York, having driven through a portion of the Adirondacks on the drive west…
From the Hamilton Spectator: Maybe it was the hypnotic lure of the spinning SkyWheel or perhaps the draw of the 2 Nations festival. Roads in and out of Niagara Region were chock-a-block with cars this July 1 holiday weekend. The Ontario Provincial Police say there were more vehicles on the road than any time in…
Several weeks ago I had the pleasure of going up the Skylon Tower. In all my years living in the Niagara Region, I had never been up before. I have been up the CN Tower in Toronto, but for some reason I had never gone up the Skylon Tower. It was amazing! If you come…

Earlier this week I received the latest email newsletter from the Clifton Hill Resort. You can subscribe to the Clifton Hill Resort Update newsletter by visiting the Clifton Hill Newsletter page.
The other day I received the latest CAA magazine. I’m in the Niagara Region, so there are always local things highlighted in the magazine. I noticed these 3 things in particular. I’m not sure which (if any) of them might have been in other regional editions of the magazine: The small “Coaster Craving” article doesn’t…
From the St Thomas Times Journal: Halloween doesn’t have to be a spooky, scary time. These 10 Halloween events and destinations are family-friendly so even the youngest member of your group can enjoy this fun time of year. This article is actually a couple of years old, although it just showed up in my news…
This isn’t really Niagara Falls related, but it does involve Killer/Orca Whales, which of course ties into Marineland. It seems that Marineland has stayed under the radar this year when it comes to their whales. I haven’t heard of many (if any) protests. I thought there might be more coverage after the tragedy at SeaWorld…
