From the Niagara Falls Review: With yet another long weekend behind them, some local tourism officials like what they’ve seen from the summer so far. “Everybody seems to be up slightly (from this time last year),” said Niagara Falls Tourism chairman Wayne Thomson. “Rates for accommodations are not what they used to be, but I…
