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
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?

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. It … Continue reading The Marketside has the best pancakes on this planet
Former Niagara Falls Mayor E. Dent Lackey died on February 18, 1977
The divinity of 25/8 It is strange to believe that there are people out there that have never had a donut from Frankie's Donuts. It is surreal that there are people on this planet that are no aware of how insanely good a donut from Frankie's is. Now, those people down in the Buffalo area … Continue reading Having a Frankie’s Donut is a spiritual experience
For this week's edition of Mailing Niagara, I've decided to dive into (pun intended) the legend of the Niagara Hilton. This week's post is a word-of-mouth story, so of course, take it with a grain of salt. I once had a teacher that used to work at a hotel in Buffalo. To prove a point, … Continue reading Mailing Niagara: The Curious Case of the Niagara Hilton
Is it a rule in Niagara Falls that our mayor must rock the 'stache? Mayor Paul Dyster is easily noticeable in a crowd due to his mustache. It's such a part of his character that I don't think anybody could imagine him without it. Of course, Dyster's mustache is really just a piece of the … Continue reading The Marvelous Mayoral Mustaches of Niagara Falls
