Visiting FX Ride Theatre with my son

The other night I had a father/son night with my 9-year-old son. He wanted to come down to Niagara Falls, so we went mini-putting at Galaxy Golf, played in the Great Canadian Midway, rode the FX Ride Theatre, then had dinner at Wendy’s. It was fun! It had been a while since I’d been on…

Alexissonfire music video

I first heard about this on the Clifton Hill blog… Apparently Alexissonfire has a new song out called “Young Cardinals”. The video was filmed here in Niagara Falls on Maid of the Mist. They’ve posted a YouTube video of behind the scenes shots. Note: You have to click the HQ button in order to hear…

Niagara Falls in Summer 2009 (pictures and video)

The weather on the 4th of July this year was awesome. The sky was blue and the temperature was in the mid 20°s C (around 70° F), so I went out and took some pictures and a video. The pictures were taken with my regular camera, but the video was taken with a new small…
