From the Niagara Falls Review: The rusty scow – perched on a small piece of land in the Niagara River about 2,500 feet above the Horseshoe Falls -is a reminder of what could have been. Today it remains an icon for millions of tourists, easily visible from shore stranded on its perch just above the…
I often listen to the sports radio station in Toronto (CJCL, The Fan 590). I often download Prime Time Sports and listen to it as I go for a walk at lunch. The Monday, July 28, 2008 show had someone on who was going to Beijing for the Olympics and they were talking about food….
The new coffee house on Victoria Avenue, Brewed Awakenings, has become more of a bar. I think it is still officially called that, but they are using the name Reggie’s Bar to promote it.

The restaurant being built at the Admiral Inn looks like it is almost finished. It is actually under two different brands: Thai Express and Villa Madina Mediterranean Cuisine. It seems like there are a lot of Mediterranean places opening lately. Note: Since I took this picture a couple of days ago, they’ve put up signs…
From the Niagara Falls Review: It’s run by a five-horsepower motor. The Westminster chimes that greet visitors from its tower at regular intervals is controlled by an electronic controller. The hands are made of stainless steel. The second hand is 21-feet long – the hour hand around 14.5-feet and the minute hand 17.5-feet, weighing a…
