From the Orlando Sentinel: On the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, you can, if you choose, do something fancy. You can, for example, put on a slicker and ride past the falls on a double-decker Maid of the Mist boat. Or you can choose the Journey Behind the Falls and ride an elevator to view…
From the Orlando Sentinel: Ah, the thundering falls of Niagara! Powerful. Majestic. Inspiring. And yet, just yards away from all that natural beauty lies what some would refer to as an attractions area and others would call a tourist trap.

When I’m out and around, I’m usually listening to music, but over the last week or so I’ve turned it off so I can enjoy the sounds of Niagara Falls. Here are some of the things I’ve heard: Cars and buses (lots of buses) “Are you ready for a reading?” from a guy offering Tarot…

The arrival of Casino Niagara brought a lot of bigger name restaurants to the Niagara area. Planet Hollywood was one of the first. They have a large building, with handprints out front of numerous celebrities, and the usual entertainment memorabilia inside. I’ve only eaten there once (had a burger), and I looked around almost the…
In the building that used to be the Adventure Dome, Brick City opened this spring. It is a very large collection of Lego scenes put together as a city.
