    Konica Minolta Tower

    I will be attending a wedding this coming Saturday at the Konica Minolta Tower. Years ago it was pretty much the only way to view the Falls. When you looked at the Canadian side of the border, it was the largest building. Now, it is dwarfed by hotels and other tall buildings. As far as…

        ‘Disappointing’ weekend

        From the Niagara Falls Review: Who says travellers are sticking close to home this summer?

        From Bullet Media: A common mistake that we human beings regularly make is not being able to see the forest for the trees – missing the big picture because we are so focused on the small details we are involved in that we take the progress we are making or the assets that we have…

          Pure plastic pleasure? You bet

          This interesting article from the Globe and Mail is about the author’s trip to the Fallsview Casino. There was one part near the middle of the article that stood out to me: Fallsview is so tasteful and appealing, it’s almost disruptive — especially when you consider that just three blocks away you can stroll lurid,…

          From the Niagara Falls Review: Marilyn Monroe slept here. It’s Room 801 inside the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Niagara Falls and if you play your cards right, you can sleep there, too. It’s on the eighth floor, right at the end of the hall, on the left side. “It’s more than just the room, it’s…
