From the Globe and Mail: Fresh from a good soaking in the Niagara River, 10-year-old Tess Driscoll of Greenwich, Conn., steps off the Whirlpool jet boat and recites what she has just learned about a war once fought here. “Nobody won, and that’s why we share the river,” Tess says as her father, Kevin, looks…
From the Niagara Falls Review: He isn’t supposed to be doing this, of course. No 63-year-old man should. That’s the age you start winding down. Preparing for retirement. Dealing with new aches and pains. It’s not the age you step onto a cable 200 feet in the air for a walk across the Niagara Falls…
I’m not even sure of how I came across this, but last night I was reading something on the Wired web site from 1997. The article was about the improved sounds in the “Special Edition” versions of the original Star Wars movies. Ben Burtt, the sound designer from the original trilogy also worked on the…
The Hilton construction is coming along. It looks like the first floor is up, and they are now working on the second floor.

As Sue mentioned in another comment, Bronto’s Adventure Playland is taking shape, especially the outside part of the attraction. There is some sort of rope/plastic/cage jungle-gym outside now. I still think this is a weird place to have an attraction for small children… right beside the Haunted House.
Last night my wife, Lisa, was telling me about a commercial she heard on the radio earlier in the day. She thinks it was on 105.1 The River. She heard a commercial for the new Topple Tower ride at Marineland. It was a little girl describing to her father the ride, about how it spins…
Someone recorded on their AOL Journal about their trip to Niagara Falls: While at Niagara Falls, we signed up for a tour and a bus took us around to some of the popular attractions. Here they are- in reverse order of the tour (ghaaa!). The best, we feel, was the Maid of the Mist tour….
