I haven’t seen any news stories online, but apparently a walkway associated with the waterpark that is being built by Canadian Niagara Hotels on the Casino Niagara parking garage didn’t have all the permits necessary to work.

The February 2006 issue of the Clifton Hill Resorts Update newsletter is out. It is as lengthy as always, and contains the same basic information. I don’t understand why they don’t have more variety in the newsletter. Generally speaking, as a regular consumer, once I’ve received a few newsletter and see that nothing changes, I…

On Tuesday, September 6, 2005 I had the opportunity to go to the IMAX Niagara Falls Theatre and view the movie Niagara: Miracles, Myths and Magic. There will be a few posts about the theatre and the movie. The theatre was built in 1976, with its distinctive pyramid shape. There are over 200 IMAX theatres…
