The drive along the Niagara river on both sides of the border is quite nice. The Canadian side has some mega mansions.
Lewiston has always been a small gem. They have a great summer weekly music festival at the Art Park outdoor amphitheatre where the small town gets packed with people, and Lewiston has always been known by Canadians and Western NYers alike to have good restaurants.
I've always been intrigued by the large homes or even
old money mansions in Lewiston that would fit right in if plopped down say in the Grossed Pointes.
Either located on the Niagara escarpment (like below) or some along the Niagara River. In stark contrast to the post industrial grit of NFNY.
Those views from the backyard overlooking Niagara River and the vineyards in Niagara-on-the-Lake. On a clear day you can make out Lake Ontario and the Toronto skyline.

Like I said the median sold home price in NFNY is already around $155k ($182k in Niagara County) in contrast to say Gary or Flint which is half that. In Lewiston it's ~$270k.
If the city proper of Buffalo can come back, so can Niagara Falls, NY ~20 miles to the north... eventually
