My kids love VeggieTales. For those who don’t know, they are cartoon vegetables. They are funny, and also teach good lessons in each show/movie/episode.

The sign for the new Dave & Busters was put up yesterday. I just checked the Dave & Buster’s official site, but there is still no mention of the Niagara Falls location. However, I did a quick Google Search and found that there is a local web site set up at http://www.daveandbustersniagarafalls.com/. There is a…
From the ground, it doesn’t look like much has been done at the future site of Dinosaur Park Adventure Golf (on Clifton Hill behind the Niagara SkyWheel). However, from above you can tell they’ve done a lot of work. At the end of August I went on the Niagara SkyWheel and took a few pictures…
