From the Niagara Falls Review: Two men and a woman climbed onto the observation tower at the Niagara Falls State Park early Tuesday and rappelled 300 feet to unfurl a giant banner protesting what they call dirty oil being imported to the U.

From Stuff.co.nz: I’m looking up at movie heart-throb Robert Pattinson, star of the teen-vampire-romance Twilight films, but something’s not quite right. His face seems a little… off.

From the Niagara Falls Review: It’s hard to believe something can be so small, but that’s why it’s on display at Ripley’s Believe It or Not odditorium. It’s a collection of rare micro-sculptures so small that many of them sit on the head of a pin or in the eye of a needle. The micro-sculptures…

From StepOutBuffalo.com: As locals, it is easy to think we’ve done it all when it comes to visiting Niagara Falls. From your first boat ride on the Maid of the Mist, to the drenching walk through the Cave of the Winds, to paying your two quarters (apparently it’s a dollar now —inflation) to walk the…
From Niagara This Week: Niagara Parks Police may soon get a new lease on life — at least for five more years.
