Thanks for the info on the Inn by the Falls. I am glad that they are ripping down that old building and hopefully replacing it with a nice size 7 story building, it will clean up that area even more. Yes they are having difficulties at SSC I think they are installing a new server. Anyway here is more info: :tup: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=108647 |
Hey Fallsview! I was 99% sure you were buckster since the posts are the exact same just different usernames. Thanks so much for posting the answer to get back on SkyscraperCity. I'm going back to school soon and I need websites like these to see what's going on back home. Thanks for keeping this thread up!!

Tony why don't you like Tim Hortons?
Wrong place for this question I know, but I don't think it warrents an entire thread....unless you have a particularly controvertial answer. |
LOL, I guess I've become somewhat of a coffee snob.
|
^ ah ok. Just curious. I find if people don't like a coffee shop, its starbucks or some huge conglomorate because they use slave labour, blah blah blah. But I see this is not the case, lol.
Actually I prefer starbucks too, so I shouldn't be one to talk. Anyways on with NF development. |

Obviously we've read about this hideous thing coming to St. Catharines:
http://www.blvdcollection.com/ But SOMETHING is better than nothing I guess. It's interesting that it is a 3 building development, it seems most multi-phase developments in St. Catharines almost always fail after building the first structure. For example: 1) Grenadier Place along Martindale Road was suppose to be 6 Buildings (only 1 built) 2) Meadowvale Green was suppose to be 3 buildings (one built, one partially built, never finished and then demolished) And the tallest, 3) Towering Heights Blvd., 4 phases, 3 built ending with the city's tallest at 17 storeys, the 4th phase was suppose to be 27 storeys, never built. Perhaps times have changed and with the aging population and the shrinking desire to maintain a single-detached home with lawn and all when you're getting up there in age, as well as Provincial legislation, things are literally looking "up". I guess we'll find out based upon how quickly this and Port Place sell out. |

My concern is why in the hell are they only thinking about "market share" now! I have been saying this for a year now, increase advertising and incentives in other countries. I'm not saying ignore the American market, but we are all seeing a trend of Americans staying home. They have enough to keep them occupied in their own country. Residents from foreign countries have more of a spirited visit when they see this World Wonder for the first time on foreign soil. They look like little kids when they see it for the first time. |

FUTURE NIAGARA SQUARE MALL DEVELOPMENT:
I ventured into the new Winners store today at the mall, looks good! The mall was busy too which was nice. The administrative office confirmed for me that the Canadian Tire on Mcleod rd. will be moving too a new pad in the Mall parking lot, she said near the Cineplex Odeon Theatre and the Sunoco Gas station which is not in the parking lot but across the street. They have also had quite a few inquiries about vacant stores, so they should be full by winter. International Clothier is moving in by the new Winners entrance. Other things mentioned but cannot be confirmed are a grocery store and a Kelsey's Restaurant? On another note I noticed the other day that the blue and white information centre on the corner of Stanley Ave. and Roberts st. / HWY 420 has been sold. It has been up for sale for awhile and is a prime location for just about anything, wait and see what goes in there. |
^ Excellent news. That mall has been struggling for so many years, now it's managed to reinvent itself.
now... about Downtown.... |
I fear that downtown NF, like downtown Welland, is a lost cause that only a cluster bomb can solve.

Spectacles drew crowds as summer progressed; After good first season Silver Mist, Cirque planning for 2007
JOHN LAW / Review Staff Writer Local News - Saturday, September 02, 2006 @ 02:00 They arrived with lots of hype, hope and hoopla. Now that Cirque Niagara and Silver Mist Productions have survived their first summer in Niagara Falls, work is already underway for 2007. Both companies were the new kids on the block this year, taking a big risk with big budget shows. Silver Mist Productions brought a $1.6-million version of Disney's Aladdin Jr. to the Greg Frewin Theatre, while Cirque Niagara set up its $10-million spectacle Avaia in a tent at Rapidsview Park. Both shows got off to a slow start, but gained momentum as summer chugged along. "We increased attendance every week," said Aladdin Jr. producer Linus Hand. "Our best week was last week." As the inaugural show of Silver Mist Productions, Aladdin Jr. promised Toronto-calibre theatre for Niagara Falls. Reviews across the board were good, Hand said, and the show did "better than expected" at the box office, despite still losing money. Much of the costs were for staging, lighting and infrastructure, laying the groundwork for future shows. Attracting tourists was the priority, Hand said, but a surprising number of local residents flocked to the musical. "It's all word of mouth," he said. "With this coming in, there was skepticism. And justifiably so. "What's the show going to be like? Is it worthwhile seeing? Would it be Toronto-style quality? "Once we got people in to see that, it was huge. "There have been an awful lot of summer shows that opened up and haven't made it to the end of their runs. "You don't have to look any further than (Toronto's) Lord of the Rings. We said we were going to run 16 weeks, and we made it to the finish line." The show wraps up a five-month run on Labour Day. The company has Disney's Beauty and the Beast booked for next year. Cirque Niagara's Avaia continues to Oct. 8, but is already in the books as a winner, said co-owner Gabe Macaluso. The show's mix of Russian acrobats and horses sold about 170,000 tickets this summer and "surpassed a lot of the expectations." The company signed a three-year deal with the Niagara Parks Commission to perform at Rapidsview Park. A new show will be offered next summer, with Avaia possibly going on tour. Cirque Niagara recently opened a Toronto office for the purpose of promoting shows throughout Canada. "We're being courted by several companies," said Macaluso. "But we have decided Niagara Falls will be our home base." The show's original plan was to lure tourists already in town, he adds, but as summer continued it was apparent people were driving in specifically for the show. "We found we were a destination, not unlike Marineland. "We should have picked up on that earlier. People were calling us buying tickets, then asking us where they should stay. That was a surprise to us." Cirque Niagara president Peter Mercanti said there was a huge learning curve for the company's first year. For one thing, he insists, reports of 12 to 15 million tourists visiting Niagara Falls every year are exaggerated. "It's more like six million," he said. "We learned a lot about the tourist scene. The numbers are crazy." Despite fewer tourists than expected, a "fantastic" turnout by local residents made up for it. "They've been extremely supportive of the show," Mercanti said. "We can't rely on the United States as our bread and butter, as the golf courses found out this year." Despite the doom and gloom predictions for tourism this summer, Mercanti is proud Cirque Niagara held its own. "We've accomplished the goals we set out to accomplish," he said. "We've proven we can bring world class entertainment to Niagara Falls." Quote:
