I went to Chapters on Saturday and noticed a book on Niagara Falls. That got me thinking that I should do some book reviews or reports. When I looked up the book I had seen, I found several others that I may ask for. I present them below not as any recommendation, just as information:…
From the Buffalo News: The city will chip in $650,000 of its casino revenue toward a project to renovate a high-rise hotel on the Niagara River. Directors of the city’s NFC Development Corp. on Monday unanimously approved a $650,000 grant for a project by hotelier Faisal Merani to reopen the former Inn on the River…
The Hilton construction is coming along. It looks like the first floor is up, and they are now working on the second floor.
An eBay user has an auction for a postcard from 1934 that shows the area that would be the current Maid of the Mist plaza (at the base of Clifton Hill) with the Falls in the background. Neat!

I knew that the Great Wolf Lodge was under construction, but it’s not really near anything in the main tourist area, so I’ve haven’t been by it since they started. Wow, it’s huge! These small pictures don’t really do it justice. It is curved, almost in an L shape. It looks like the waterpark is…
@bubblywums I know that, but given the down economy, I was pleased to see it was still busy… in reply to bubblywums #
I’m on vacation this week. Nothing big is planned, but I won’t be in the Falls until Friday. I have a few things scheduled to go up, but other than that there won’t be any regular updates. I’ll be back to regular blogging by mid-week next week.
