Buffalo & Niagara Falls

Pros: Magnificent falls
Cons: Depressed areas in NY, Better in Canada

For those of you who did not read part I, I had the pleasure of attending an American Legion Convention in Niagara Falls. Part I told about the drive up, the hotel and restaurants that we visited. Part II is about the Falls and the surrounding areas....

Pros: Awesome reminder of natures power. Great views & trips.
Cons: A lot of walking.

Awesome, Amazing and Astounding. I figured I would start with my “A” superlatives and just work down the list. If you are anywhere within 50 miles of the Buffalo area – and that includes “Oh, Canada – Toronto” this is a sight that you have to see at...

Pros: Good directions, great ride (The rest to follow)
Cons: Horrible restaurants, slow service, (The rest to follow)

On Tuesday, July 18, 2000, my husband and I ventured up to Niagara Falls. We took advantage of an opportunity to go, since we are both members of the American Legion, and the Department had a Convention. I am not to fond of marathon reviews, I decided...

Pros: Awe Inspiring
Cons: My Own (and maybe others) Misguided Preconception

When I found out that my next business trip would be a trip to Buffalo to review customer service operations, I was not a happy camper. Not that I had ever been there, or even that I knew anything about the place... just some misguided, preconceived...

Pros: the Falls
Cons: Everything that distracts from the Falls

Going back to the Niagara Frontier for the holidays with my girlfriend raised one momentous possibility: she had never been to the Falls, and we were about to correct that. There's some pressure implied here, as anyone from the region knows - if ...

Pros: The Canadian Side
Cons: The American Side

Are you looking to joining the thousands of couples who have taken their vows at Niagara Falls? Or maybe you've just completed the design of you new ergonomic, aerodynamic barrel and want to plunge over the Falls? Well, whoever you are, there are some...

Pros: Absolutely Beautiful
Cons: Lots of walking, and boy do I mean lots.

We went to Niagara Falls over Memorial weekend of 2000. It is absolutely one of the best places to visit. Since I only live five hours away from there, I have been wanting to go for a long time. I am one who doesn't like to go on a great vacation if the...

Pros: Cold, dreary, Canada
Cons: Cold, dreary, Canada

So Spring Break was upon us and like any young, full-blooded brood we decided to head North where all the babes dress in skimpy coats and scarves and the sun never shines and the booze flows freely unless frozen and the nights are longer than the days...

Pros: Natural beauty. Plenty to do for a nice weekend.
Cons: Walking in the cold.

I just got back from a long weekend in Niagara Falls, NY with my girlfriend. We had a great time. We went to the Minolta Tower, Skylon Tower, Casino Niagara, and viewed the falls from a plethora of angles. I might as well walk through the highlights of...

Pros: A Museum filled with rich history and nostalgia. It's FREE
Cons: none

The Premise

I'm always on the look out for those special, often missed places that are wonderful places to go to. That lesser used park, museum or other place that most people just seem to pass by, but one that holds memories and...

Pros: Prohibited from driving, I save $$$ on gas
Cons: Stranded loved ones

The Theory

If you have the time, or if you can MAKE the time, then travelling into Western New York from the East can be a most enjoyable activity. I've tried to put together a small list of places that I've been to which aren't very...

Pros: An Unbelievable View
Cons: You WILL get wet.

Visitors to Niagara Falls are awed by the sight of millions of gallons of water thundering over the falls and rightly so. There is nothing else on the North American continent like it. Some spots put you within a few yards of the precipice. As you stand...

Pros: A great place to live!
Cons: Winters to cold unless you ski !

Although, I am no longer a resident of Buffalo my heart is still there. Growing up in the suburbs of Buffalo in Orchard Park New York, I took for granted all that Buffalo had to offer, now I that reside in Biloxi Mississippi (which don't get me wrong I...

Pros: Lots of Candy, Collectables, Candles, Etc.
Cons: It's crowded close to Easter and Christmas.
