Many moons ago, Niagara Falls was all over the news because of Totes McGoats: the terrifying new mascot to help spread the message of recycling! Totes went viral insanely fast. Niagara Falls was all over Twitter, and I had no idea what I was witnessing. It was so surreal. So naturally, I tweeted. Of course, … Continue reading That time I was in Seventeen Magazine (because of Totes McGoats)
There's something magical about a McDonald's Shamrock Shake.
Niagara Falls has had not one, but TWO malls not built! Real talk, flock: what I told you that the wonderful Fashion Outlets currently sitting in Town of Niagara was supposed to be built downtown? What if I told you the Mall of America was almost built downtown? What if I told you that I wasn't … Continue reading The two best malls of Niagara Falls (That never actually existed)

To finish up our postcard series, I thought I'd throw a curveball: a postcard on the Grand Island bridges. Another teacher story: one of my teachers (different from the Hilton one) once said that there were no bridges connecting Grand Island to the mainland until the 1960s. I mean, he's wrong, but the second set … Continue reading Mailing Niagara: The Grand Island Bridges have their own postcard
Hey Flock! So just over two months ago, I was going through my usually "I NEED TO MAKE THIS SITE BETTER" crisis. My friend had been using Weebly, and I read (and he confirmed) that the storage was unlimited over there. So I jumped ship. It was nice: I could do custom coding on the … Continue reading Why we’re baaaaaack (on WordPress)
Anybody who says otherwise doesn't know pancakes. In this era of uncertainty, there is only one fact that we can rely on: Mike from The Marketside makes the best pancakes. I'm not exaggerating: Mike's pancakes are insanely good. They're almost too good. For those of you not familiar, The Marketside has been around, well, forever.
