Let's talk about Niagara Falls on it's 125th birthday.
The Niagara Falls Public Library is fantastic
Hey flock, short post today. I just wanted to point out a nice little exhibit at the Niagara Falls Public Library. It's a glimpse into their Dunlap collection, which haves some awesome stuff from the turn of the century. Seriously it's really cool so go check it out if you're in the neighborhood.
Music Review: “The Promise” by When in Rome
Employee training video music for an employee training video world. When in Rome's 1988 hit "When in Rome" is that end of the movie music you expect. This is probably why it was played at the end of Napoleon Dynamite. There's nothing offensive about this song. It has that smooth, synthy sound. The lyrics are so … Continue reading Music Review: “The Promise” by When in Rome

Art of the Omelet: The Royal Cafe
The Royal Cafe is a relatively recent addition to the Niagara Falls breakfast landscape, but it packs a powerful punch. I am a fan of spinach and feta omelets. I find everything about them thoroughly enjoyable. Being such a fan of these omelets, I can safely say that the Royal Cafe has one of the … Continue reading Art of the Omelet: The Royal Cafe
My Trip to the Strong Museum was AWESOME!
This post is a bit of an oddball: it has nothing to do with Niagara Falls! *GASP* In all seriousness, if you haven't been to the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, then you're probably boring. The Strong is an awesome kids museum in Rochester. I remember going there when I was a kid. … Continue reading My Trip to the Strong Museum was AWESOME!
That time we created a giant crater downtown
I'm too young to remember AquaFalls. I didn't realize it was a thing until I ran across a mention of it in a Buffalo Spree article. Then I felt the need to start digging...no pun intended. For those of you like me (too young) or those of you who didn't live in the area, AquaFalls … Continue reading That time we created a giant crater downtown
Music Review: “Edge of Seventeen” by Stevie Nicks
A hairbrush lip-sync anthem. 1982's "Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks is a really fun song. The song chugs. There's no other way to explain it: it's a slow, then a frantic, chugging song. This is not a song to dance to: it's a song to fight to. This is a song that you drag … Continue reading Music Review: “Edge of Seventeen” by Stevie Nicks
Building a convention city
Urban Renewal was in full swing in 1975. The Convention Center was the sparkly new thing in the city, and the rest of Downtown was being rebuilt. This advertisement ran in 1975 in a program for Miss USA (which was held in the Convention Center: don't tell me all of Urban Renewal was a failure). Look at … Continue reading Building a convention city
