I was away for a few days last week and ended up in Peterborough, Ontario. It’s 2.5 – 3 hours away from Niagara Falls. We stopped at a second-hand store called Talize, and this shirt was hanging on the end of an aisle as we walked into the store.
From The Hawk Eye (in Burlington, Iowa): Our first glimpse of Niagara Falls was from the Rainbow Bridge, which connects the United States and Canada. It was the end of a long day on the road when we arrived in northwest New York, having driven through a portion of the Adirondacks on the drive west…
