Someone with a blog called Writeronthestorm’s Weblog has posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls: Whilst staying in New York, I booked a hotel at Niagara Falls. I neglected to check which side of the falls the hotel was, US or Canadian. After a brief visit to the Crowne Plaza on the US side,…
This isn’t specifically Niagara Falls related, but I figured I’d include it in case there is anyone interested. American Heritage has an article that talks about the history of restaurants at the top of towers: Around 1960 John Graham, Jr., a Seattle architect best known for large shopping centers, proposed a tower with a restaurant…

The first—and thus far only—location outside of the U.S. is in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Beloved by families, Great Wolf Lodge is best described as…
All sorts of work was done on the old Wolfgang Puck Cafe to turn it into Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville. However, the patio remained essentially unchanged. The worst looking part was the fact that the tiles on the side of the patio were in various stages of disrepair. Some were gone, some were cracked, and some…
