rebeccmeisterWhile waiting for my mom to pack up before we head to the train, a couple photos. I took approximately 5 billion photos, most of them of massive volumes of water whooshing from a great height to a depth below. But I also managed to get a handful of other photos that can even be organized around a couple of themes.
As we continued to walk around, I was relieved to discover that the entire region isn't in the state of economic distress that we observed on our initial walk. Still - the dereliction was striking.
In any case, we encountered a number of other interesting buildings as well.
Anyone want to buy an armory?
The building that wasn't: the Niagara Falls Visitor's Center. Slated to open in 2023.
We had both breakfast and lunch at a place called "The SPoT - Your Neighborhood Cafe," which appears to be a local franchise. They had decent food and good outdoor seating with a pleasant view of the neighboring Red Coach Inn:
Charming spot, really. It looks like we happened to visit the area during a slow tourist week, which was excellent timing on our part, although it meant fewer dining options altogether.
Don't try booking a room at the Hotel Niagara anytime soon, however.
But the real gem was the building next door to the Red Coach Inn. I would LOVE to learn more about this building. Whoever built it was an artistic genius!
It does not currently appear to be in use. I hope that someone buys it and does something incredible with it.
