On Monday I received the latest newsletter from the Hilton Hotel and Suites Niagara Falls Fallsview. To subscribe to the newsletter, fill out the form on the left-hand side of any page on the Hilton Hotel and Suites Niagara Falls Fallsview web site.
Yesterday I received the July 2006 issue of the Clifton Hill Resorts Update newsletter. It contained all the normal information such as trivia, hotel package promotions, and information about the hotels and attractions. One thing jumped out at me though, and it looked a little odd. The aerial picture that they use that shows both…
This isn’t directly Niagara Falls related, but it is still interesting… From the Nelson Star: This month, stuntman Nik Wallenda became the first person in over 110 years to cross Niagara Falls on a tightrope. One person who would have known the feeling was William Leonard Hunt, aka the Great Farini, an American-born, Canadian-raised daredevil…
Back in January I linked to the Ronald Bussink AG web site. They had a press release announcing the Ferris wheel coming to Niagara Falls. Now they have a press release announcing the completion. The details are almost identical to the original press release: Ronald Bussink Professional Rides has finalized the delivery of a new…
I was away for a few days last week and ended up in Peterborough, Ontario. It’s 2.5 – 3 hours away from Niagara Falls. We stopped at a second-hand store called Talize, and this shirt was hanging on the end of an aisle as we walked into the store.

Similar to the way HOCO Limited has a central web site for all of their properties, Canadian Niagara Hotels does the same thing.

Over the last week I’ve had a couple of opportunities to be in Niagara Falls later in the evening. The lights on Clifton Hill, and that shine on the Falls are truly awesome. I took a few pictures, and you can see them below. You can see the Niagara SkyWheel, the volcano at Dinosaur Adventure…
From the Niagara Falls Review Last year, over 35,000 people were re-introduced to a revamped Queen Street during the inaugural Springlicious festival. “It was a big surprise,” said Don Weaver, owner of GPS Pursuits and chairman of Celebrate Old Downtown which is the special events wing of the downtown business association. “We didn’t realize there…
I am a member of CAA (Canadian equivalent of AAA) and get a magazine from them every few months (quarterly?). The magazine has general content for all CAA members, and then information specific to the region you are in. I just received the Spring 2007 issue and there are several Niagara related items in it…
