This isn’t terribly exciting, but I thought I’d pass along that one of the retail stores on Victoria Avenue (beside the new Little Caesars) has a new sign up and the store is called Canadian Memories. I’m not sure how long it has had this name, but it wasn’t there last Fall.
I’ve heard quite a bit of news stories lately about Starbucks, and how in China they are setting up shop in areas that many people don’t like. They even have a location inside the Forbidden City. It made me think about Niagara Falls and leads me to this week’s question: What is the biggest eyesore…
The work seems to be moving along quickly at the corner of Fallsview Blvd and Murray Hill where the Hilton is expanding. They’ve dug down a couple of stories, and now are preparing the foundation. That’s a lot of rebar!
The store where Circus World used to be located on Victoria Avenue has been divided in half and now one half has a small store in it. It doesn’t seem like anything too special.
(oops, I had this ready but forgot to post it yesterday…) Continuing with the post from yesterday, the Friday image gallery is of the Skylon Tower Fun Centre. I was in there last week and took some pictures. As usual, there were almost no people in that huge space. Anyway, I took a few pictures…

The study, which was completed by CRA International and commissioned by Global Refund Canada, says if the program is cancelled April 1, the country’s Gross Domestic Product would…
This is probably nothing, but right beside the Diplomat Inn on Stanley Avenue there is a lot of dirt. It’s an empty lot. I don’t know if anyone is leveling the ground preparing it for a future development, or if it just a temporary place to put the dirt from some other development.
Yesterday I received an email from regular visitors Lisa from Rochester. She’s looking for some help: I am trying to find out what hotels of what areas offer wireless internet. Also want to know if the hotel only offers dialup what would be needed to get onto the internet like software etc. This is the…
This is the last of my series on the arcades in Niagara Falls. I previously covered the Great Canadian Midway and Marvel Super Heroes Adventure City. Today I will be posting about the Skylon Tower Fun Centre. Probably the biggest problem with the Skylon Tower Fun Centre is that it is so big. If the…
