Here is another neat map that I took a picture of a while ago. I love seeing these old maps so you can see how things have changed. The copyright on the map is from 1973, so it was from before I was born! You see references to the Niagara Aerocar, Marineland and Game Farm,…
Yesterday I received the latest Clifton Hill Update email newsletter.
From the Niagara Falls Review: To mark the Winter Festival of Lights’ 25th anniversary, Jack Custers has gone digging through the vaults.

When Shirley Lappi and Pamela Sherry decided to visit this Canadian tourist town this week, they planned…
I posted a couple of weeks ago about the house on Stanley Avenue by the Macs (near the corner of Ferry Street) that was torn down. It is a very large lot, that I assume will sit empty for quite a while.
I just posted the article from the Niagara Falls Review about the new construction at Marineland. Apparently they are building a huge shark exhibit.
