Ya it's the sign that is truly ugly here. It's so big that tourists probably think that's the name of the building.

If the food don't make your stomach churn, the prices surely will.

When I'm in the Fallsview area and I'm already parked at the casino overnight, I will buy like Subway or Hortons at regular prices. If I happen to be on Clifton Hill or have in/out car access, then I will get Wendy's, regular priced Chinese, etc. or drive up Lundy's Lane for 3-5 minutes and get normal priced food.

Is it a Keg hotel? Do they turn their guests into delicious steaks?

The Keg is for people that really don't know anything about steak. Always overpriced. Always overcooked.

Just like iHop is for people that can't cook a decent breakfast (if they could, they wouldn't ever eat at iHop, on account of the fact that it is overpriced utter garbage).

typical tacky Niagara Falls.

I vote for Ricky's being the worst breakfast restaurant. As for shitty meat cuisine I'd vote Montana's.

Laval has a rival Clocktower to the King?

Were the walls as cardboard thin as the ones when I stayed at the Monte Carlo in Vegas? Was fun waking up to a domestic argument at 4am.

Looks like a clocktower fit for Surrey, judging by the building in the background.

Smitty's is an example of the "cheap and bad" type of chain family restaurant. But Canada also excels in the "expensive and mediocre" type as well:

- Cactus Club
- Joey's
- Moxie's classic grill
- Milestone's
- Earl's
- Montana's

Did I miss any?

They all serve the same shit too. At least in the US, the chain restaurants spice things up with Mexican, Asian and seafood themes.

Oh now that I'm at it, still as a kid : When I saw a 7-UP can, I said ''Sept-up'' and my mom says, no it's ''SEVEN-up'' and I didn't got it until I really started learning English at School

Francophone kids have also always had lots of fun with "great(e)-tits" (greatest hits) albums.

Je mélangeait aussi souvent les mots ''Think'' et ''Thing'' quand j'étais à l'école...

If we're sharing funny language anecdotes, my Spanish-speaking friend just found out a couple days ago that button and bottom are two different words.

I didn't learn that enough was pronounced enuf until I was like 9, several years after learning English.
