While the cities on both sides of the border have grown and changed to accommodate the thousands of people who visit the area each year, the falls itself remains as breathtaking as ever.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your recollections, Ryan. I hope that next time you go, you'll get a really great view from the Canadian side. For a lovely Anniversary room, check out the Sheraton at the Falls hotel--they have fireplaces, jacuzzi tubs, and a little balcony in each room. Very romantic.<BR/><BR/>~C~Carolyn Burns Basshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702584936557311692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436541.post-1131649250278446562005-11-10T11:00:00.000-08:002005-11-10T11:00:00.000-08:00My family used to visit Niagara Falls every year. ...My family used to visit Niagara Falls every year. However, for my 3-year Anniversary (7 years ago), my wife and I decided to have a vacation there. We were miserable most of the time. THe place has grown so unbelievably commercial. I was horribly saddened to see that one of our favoriate places there (which was sort of like a mini-carnival in a building) had been razed, with a casino in its place.<BR/><BR/>Still, the site of the falls is worth it. Funny story, though. We stayed two nights in the Cairn Croft Best Western, which is where our family used to stay. Nice yet inexpensive hotel. But we decided to splurge, and spend one night in what was, at the time, the Days Inn Overlooking The Falls. How romantic to be there, looking down from our window seeing one of the modern marvels of Niagara: The Parking Lot. Needless to say, we were pretty upset, and wished we were back in the Cairn Croft. There were no falls in sight.RyanBrunerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07005305431656919479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436541.post-1131421369080719452005-11-07T19:42:00.000-08:002005-11-07T19:42:00.000-08:00Who are those remarkable beauties poised before th...Who are those remarkable beauties poised before the falls in cascading folds of "CRIME SCENE" yellow celephane? At first, I mused "their luminous beauty must be a trick of the light" but then I realized that there really wasn't any light (my personal preference when being photographed). Is the third lady from the left a former Hawaiian Tropics model?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
