Woke up this morning to snow and more falling. I say enough already, although I must admite that it looks pretty. Some would say “pretty cold.” Tonight I’ll post pics of the Falls and get them posted.
Wow, what a great idea and it’s finally coming. A skating rink called Rink at the Brink.
This skating rink is the latest attraction to Niagara Falls and it will operate during the Festival of Lights which opens November 27th, 2009. The skating rink is 18×36 metres (or about 60×120 feet), a good size for fun skating.
The rink will be in operation until the end of February 2010. It will have a steel and glass roof and have clear span windows so you can enjoy the view of Niagara Falls and will be open from 10AM to 10PM every day. I like the price too. Only $8 for adults and $5.75 for kids. You can even rent skates.
So get your blades out and sharpened, this promises to be a great attraction.
Somewhat negative for Niagara Falls, but it seems that a disturbed person tried to jump into the Niagara River. Here’s the story.
It’s these stories that appear from time to time that give a distinct negative feel to the splendor and excitement of Niagara Falls for millions of visitors each year.
Go figure. One of the great natural attractions in the entire world. A Place where millions of people come to see the beauty, the power, the thunder and the fury of Niagara Falls and it isn’t listed as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.
Although not directly related to Niagara Falls, an official vist by the Emperor does require a mention. Even more so because I was directly involved in the visit as the driver for the Japanese media that arrived on the Emperor’s 747 in Toronto.
