I noticed this when I was taking a picture of the new IHOP Niagara Falls. The big miniature golf course by the hotel is still there, but the Dairy Queen isn’t a Dairy Queen any more. It’s a Dairy Delight. As you can see, the building looks the same. The Dairy Queen sign on the…

At another store, I recently saw this book called Visions of Canada. It is a collection of stories and essays about different parts of Canada. The section about Niagara Falls is from novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne‘s visit in 1832 (but not published until 1835). Oh, that I had never heard of Niagara till I beheld it!…
