In a previous comment, regular reader Dan mentioned that the Horseshoe Falls Motor Inn is becoming the Comfort Inn Fallsview. I drove by the other day and took a picture out my car window. They are doing major renovations and it looks like it will be a while before it is finished.
From the Niagara Falls Review (the article says tomorrow, but it is actually today/Thursday): The American Falls will have a morning show feel to them Thursday night. As part of the Today Show’s 60th anniversary, NBC has arranged to have the show’s familiar red, orange and yellow colours illuminated on both the American and Horseshoe…
Once again I apologize for dropping off the face of the earth after the Nik Wallenda walk. It’s not that there wasn’t anything to write about. It’s that the Tuesday before the walk we got the keys to our new house, and we’ve been busy for a few weeks and things are finally settling down….
I’ve never heard of him, but Movieland Wax Museum of Stars on Clifton Hill has a new wax figure of Shah Rukh Khan. I may not have known who he was before I saw this sign, but there are a lot of people who do know and love him. He is a Bollywood actor who has…
I previously posted a picture of the sign on the side of the Galaxy Golf building. Yesterday or today they put up a sign over the ticket booth. It’s a large golf ball coming out of the building with flames beside it. You can also see that they’ve done more work on the artwork/mural on…

Niagara Falls Fire Chief Lee Smith said they received a call at around 5 a.m. and about 25 firefighters responded to the…
The other day I came across a couple of nice Niagara Falls videos that were on Shutterstock. They all have a “shutterstock” watermark on the videos, so they are meant to be purchased. But I still thought it would be good to share the link. You can start at http://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-13214060-stock-footage-niagara-falls-canada-december-clifton-hill-tourist-area-in-niagara-falls-ontario-in-the.html to see some of them. Of course…
If you’ve been to Niagara Falls more than once, you’ve probably noticed the name Oakes on a lot of things. There is Oakes Garden Theatre, Oakes Park, and more. These are all named after Sir Harry Oakes. He was a prospector who discovered gold in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, and then bought some property in Niagara…
I guess I look like a local. In front of TGI Friday's I was just asked how to get to the falls by foot. I sent them to the Jolley Cut # I'm on Clark Ave . A car just stopped in the middle of the street to ask me where the Crowne Plaza is….
