Quite a few years ago I posted about finding a penny souvenir. I’ve seen lots of these Penny Press/Elongated Coin machines when visiting Florida, but I don’t see too many of them around here. Add to that the fact that Canada no longer uses pennies, and these machines just aren’t that popular around here any…
Last week I received an email newsletter from the Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview & Spa
I posted a week ago a picture of what you would see if you were coming to the Fallsview Casino via Stanley Avenue. That picture I took was a little further down Murray Hill. This one is taken in the middle of the Stanely Avenue / Murray Street intersection, so this truly would be your…
Back in March there was a city meeting about creating a separate property by Baskin Robbins on Victoria Avenue. I don’t know where this property is going to be, but I have noticed that they have moved the curb out to remove the street-side parking in front of Baskin Robbins: I don’t know if this…

From the Niagara Falls Review: It was bumper to bumper traffic at Niagara border crossings over the weekend as motorists made a mass exodus south of the border. A holiday weekend typically results in a backlog at the bridges – and there was no reprieve for drivers this time. In some instances, drivers trapped in…
From the Niagara Falls Review: The Review put calls out to all Niagara Parks Commissioners about Jay Cochrane’s request to walk over the Horseshoe Falls. Here’s what they had to say:
As we posted a while ago, Coco’s on Murray Hill is expanding their patio. As you can see, it is coming along nicely. However, given that we’re already into July, I’m surprised they aren’t working harder and faster on it to get it done sooner.
