Niagara Falls, if that’s what you meant? isn’t very big really, or certainly not a big landscape and someone selfishly built a town round it.
Really wish I’d learnt the piano when young (I haven’t now I’m old either, but you know what I mean)
Too right. The town of Niagara on the Canadian side is like Blackpool funfair, without the 'kiss me quick' hats. It's best avoided on the US side, full stop. There's a casino and a town full of crack heads.
'Tis a miserable place for sure these days, yet every visitor insists on paying their dues.
My uncle Dave lives in NotL. Cracking place. His house to the Falls is about 10 miles, along the Niagara river with New York state on the other side. We've often driven over the Lewiston bridge to enjoy US hospitality.
I once took a wrong turn in Niagara US. Foot down. Don't glance at anyone FFS. Though not as bad as some parts of Baltimore! That's right scary!!!!I've dodged a bullet there then
One of my old Leeds mates lived in Niagara Falls (RIP Bill) and every time I went to visit him he insisted we (missus & I) stayed in NotL and he even payed for the room for a couple of nights. Can't remember the hotel's name, but it was excellent. He'd get himself a room too as he liked his beer/wine & food . We shelled out for his dinner to compensate. Happy days.
Famous for the Shaw Festival. I've seen some great stuff there. Oldest public golf course in N.America. The views across lake Ontario to the Toronto skyline (30 miles) visible on a clear day are great ie CN tower and the skycrapers. Toronto goes on forever.
You've just reminded me of Firthy {I'm been over familiar cos I cant recall his first name), who remained a member of CI after he emigrated to around there and kept posting even as the hurricane ruined his business, He was forced to return to Hull and died within the last year.
