Shoeless Joe’s is open
I haven’t been inside yet, but I did notice a week or two ago that Shoeless Joe’s is now open. The patio looks nice and people are using it.

What a beautiful, clear day!
Yesterday was a beautiful Spring day, and today is just as nice. I took my camera with me as I walked around Clifton Hill, the Parkway, and Murray Hill and took these pictures:
Clifton Hill Fun Pass
I recently found a Clifton Hill Fun Pass on the ground. This is the combo/extra value pass that is available on the south side of Clifton Hill (the HOCO properties). For $25 you get access to 1 mini-putt (Dinosaur Park or Galaxy Golf), the Movieland wax musuem, the Niagara SkyWheel, the 2 attractions in the…
It’s not easy picking the ‘Wonders’
From the Niagara Falls Review: Choosing seven wonders that define Canada is too important to be determined by a “mouse-clicking” campaign, says one of the three judges who get the final say in CBC’s contest. “It isn’t right, as I’m sure you’d agree, for a mouse-clicking campaign to decide matters,” said Roy MacGregor, a columnist…

As he and his family, visiting from New Jersey, left the Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours’ dock in Niagara-on-the-Lake, they were…
Update on Jay Cochrane coming to Niagara Falls in 2007
A visitor left a comment on a previous post and mentioned that Jay was coming to Niagara Falls this year. I emailed for more details, and this is what I was told: Jay is in Chicago right now installing/rigging/opening up this year’s production of Cirque Shanghai: Bai Xi. He’ll be heading down to his home…
Leaving on a jet boat
From the Niagara Falls Review: The first splash of cold water comes about 10 minutes into the trip, generating a chorus of cheers from the boatload of soggy thrill-seekers. But the splash is just that. A bit of water in the face and upper body. Maybe the equivalent of a large cupful for each passenger….
Travelodge keycards
Another in my series on keycards… I’m not sure which hotel this is for, but I found a Travelodge keycard the other day. The toll free number is for the central reservations line for the entire chain. There isn’t anything that is specific to any hotel.
