Oh no, Yoko: John Lennon’s widow sends her regrets

By COREY LAROCQUE , REVIEW STAFF WRITER

Yoko Ono won’t visit Niagara Falls to mark the 40th anniversary of her honeymoon to Niagara Falls with John Lennon, but the widow of the late Beatle is sending rarely seen footage of their visit instead.

“We’ll have exclusive stuff,” said Bill Colclough, a public programmer at the Lundy’s Lane Historical Museum, who is organizing a musical celebration in honour of what he considers one of the most famous couples to honeymoon here.

“But she is sending 10 minutes of footage. It’s a DVD. It’s 10 minutes of whatever they were doing when they were here,” Colclough said. (more…)

GO decision shows Niagara has arrived

GO decision shows Niagara has arrived

Amid the continuing stream of bad news about the economy and the job market, Thursday’s announcement the provincial government is extending GO train service into Niagara couldn’t have come at a better time.

For years, local politicians, business leaders and The Niagara Falls Review have argued linking Niagara by commuter train and bus to Toronto made complete sense for numerous and patently obvious reasons.

After years of lobbying, the province has decided to create a weekend GO train service, with the pledge that if there proves to be enough demand, seven-day-a-week service is a real possibility. (more…)

Strike Rock N’ Bowl Hits Popular Niagara Falls Tourist District

25,000 Square Foot Bowling Centre Hits Popular Niagara Falls Tourist District
Now, there is even more fun to experience on Clifton Hill!

NIAGARA FALLS, ON – Monday, May 11, 2009 – Locals and visitors to the Niagara Falls area are invited to experience the all new Strike Rock N’ Bowl - an upscale Bowling and Entertainment Centre - which recently opened May 8th. 2009.

The massive 25,000 square foot centre - located in the heart of the Clifton Hill tourist area, will be the first of its kind to hit Niagara Falls, Canada.

“This is definitely not your grandfather’s bowling alley,” said Philip Oakes, Director of Operations. “Strike Rock N’ Bowl is truly a modern, family-focused entertainment centre for the 21st century.”

There are 14 full sized bowling lanes, multiple billiard tables, full amusement arcade, a dining area, and sports bar. Up to six people can bowl on a single lane. The décor is modern and comfortable, with high-backed seating, cozy bar stools, custom floor coverings, and modern lighting. Strike Rock N’ Bowl provides a great place to enjoy some exciting games, delicious food and great family fun.

Created exclusively for recreational bowling and family fun, bowlers of all ages will be immediately impressed with the automated scoring system, the touch screen monitors, high-definition audio/visual system, plus intelligent LED lane lighting, all of which create truly electrifying bowling experience.

Smaller children – and people new to bowling – will appreciate a special bumper-bowling feature that eliminates gutter balls. Special bumper-rails in the gutters can be raised and lowered on a player-by-player basis, allowing the entire family to have a fun bowling experience.

A full Boston Pizza food and bar menu is available, including gourmet pizzas, delectable pasta, mouth-watering appetizers, meal-sized salads, entrees, desserts and a variety of beer, wine and spirits.

Plus, between eating and bowling families can enjoy the high-tech video arcade, which contains some of the latest video and ticket redemption games in Canada.

Strike Rock N’ Bowl is the perfect addition to the Clifton Hill family entertainment area, which also features major attractions like the Niagara SkyWheel, Casino Niagara, the Maid of the Mist along with multiple wax museums, mini golf courses, amusement arcades, theme restaurants, nightclubs and more. All within walking distance from the spectacular Niagara Falls cascade.

During your next visit to Niagara Falls be sure drop by Clifton Hill and Strike Rock N’ Bowl (Located next to the Niagara SkyWheel). The facility is open from 10am to 2am, seven days a week. House balls and rental shoes are available for bowlers of all ages. You can visit Strike Rock N’ Bowl in person or call 905-358-4788 for more information.
