I don’t know if any of you have seen the “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” movie (I haven’t), but apparently there is a shot of Clifton Hill and Niagara Falls in the movie as the two main characters come here to get “married”.
Back in March I posted about a notice of a public hearing that was hanging on the Courtyard Marriott sign between the Courtyard Marriott and TGI Fridays. There has been another sign up now for a couple of weeks that I finally got around to taking a picture of. The City of Niagara Falls Committee…
As Fallsview mentioned in a previous comment, the large parking lot on Clark Ave appears to be run (and probably owned) by the Fallsview Casino. I’ve never seen more than 1 or 2 cars in the lot at the same time. There doesn’t seem to be a way to pay going in, so perhaps it…
From the Toronto Star: Let’s start with a simple admission: Nobody comes here for the food. It’s such a massive short-term tourist destination that every restaurant and fast-food chain known to man has at least one outlet there. But if you’re careful, you can actually navigate your way through a series of more-than-pleasant meals. (You’ll…
Here is another blog entry by someone named Beth who lives in Illinois: We went across the Rainbow Bridge to Canada and then had to go through customs, which turned out to be not a big deal at all. We only had to show our driver’s licenses and the girls’ birth certs. We first headed…
From the Niagara Falls Review: The number of passenger vehicles crossing Niagara-area bridges is falling. Year-to-date figures for the Rainbow Bridge show a 7.75-per cent decline in passenger traffic, compared to the same period in 2006. At the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge, passenger crossings are down 4.77 per cent compared to the figures from the first half…
The Americana Conference Resort & Spa is hosting the USA Exotics Expo on September 1, 2007. The flyer looks innocent enough, but when I visited the web site, it’s mostly featuring girls in very skimpy bikinis. It seems like an odd thing for the Americana to host given their family-oriented water park.
Yesterday I received another newsletter from the Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel & Spa (I think they always send their emails out on a Thursday). They are promoting packages with “luxury accommodations and amenities.” You can subscribe to the newsletter by clicking on the Special Email Offers link on the side of the Marriott Niagara…
From Niagara This Week: A new coin featuring a photographic hologram of the horseshoe falls is being called a spectacular tribute to the city’s world-famous cataract by Mayor Ted Salci. “It’s unique. I think it will be a collector’s item,” said Salci, who bought four coins to give out as gifts after he was presented…
From Niagara This Week: The Niagara Parks Commission said it will consider a proposal from wire walker Jay Cochrane to walk a tightrope over Niagara Falls, but it wants to see a full business plan first. Cochrane, renowned for his wire walks, is in the city this summer performing wire walks daily near the Skylon…
