End of the line for Niagara Falls icon

Printed by the Review

End of the line for Main/Ferry icon
Posted By RAY SPITERI, REVIEW STAFF WRITER

Bob Muller chokes up a little as he talks about closing the business that has been in the community for 101 years.

He’s the third-generation owner of Muller Dry Goods, which is set to join a long list of businesses that have shut their doors in the historic Main and Ferry area.

“Unfortunately, the days of a dry goods store seem to have come to an end,” said Muller, who with his father, George, owns the business on Ferry Street. (more…)

The busker festival will be downtown’s signature event. Live music will fill the streets as jugglers, stilt-walkers and buskers animate every street corner. Make your way to the main stage where you will dare to watch some of the most thrilling stunts this area has ever seen, including world renowned stunt master, Gene Sullivan of Evel Knievel fame.

World renowned daredevil Dean Sullivan will jump from a crane, over 300 feet in the air, with only a rope and without the benefit of a safety braking device. Days and times of his jumps will be posted on the “Schedule” page as they become available.

Don’t forget your dancing shoes! Friday will be host to some incredible local Niagara bands. Saturday you will experience the classic hits made famous by Ian Mitchell and The Bay City Rollers and Terry Sylvester of The Hollies. As if that weren’t enough, Niagara’s local businesses will be there offering you sidewalk sales, food, drinks and activities. So what are you doing this summer? Come out and celebrate old downtown with us at Daredevil Days, August 15th to the 17th on Queen Street in Niagara Falls.

New stores at Niagara Square

New stores at Niagara Square
Posted By ALISON LANGLEY

Niagara Square’s extreme make over is almost ready to be unveiled.

One end of the Montrose Road mall has been essentially a construction site for the past years as crews worked on several new stores.

The new businesses reflect a focus on accessorizing the home rather than the body.

“We’re not a fashion centre but we’re becoming a home fashion centre,” said Tammy Robertson, marketing co-ordinator for the mall.

The newest addition will open its doors to the public on Saturday.

Jysk (pronounced yi-sk), will feature 19,000 square feet of furniture, accessories and bedding.

The Scandinavian-based company operates in 20 countries with more than 1,000 stores. (more…)

Springlicious proves Niagara Falls wants vibrant downtown

Springlicious proves Niagara Falls wants vibrant downtown, organizers say
Three days of food, wine, beer and music bring thousands to see new-look downtown
Posted By Corey Larocque

If downtown Niagara Falls comes back to life, the Springlicious weekend could earn a spot as a turning point in the city’s history. The wine and beer expo brought thousands of people to Queen Street from Friday night to Sunday afternoon.

Many saw the event, as well as the recent cosmetic improvements to some buildings, and the filling of a dozen previously vacant storefronts with art galleries, as a sign there’s some progress downtown.

“I’m moving back if they have something like this all the time,” said Kim Maraldo, who used to rent an apartment on Queen Street across from city hall. She moved to Welland two years ago but is reconsidering after seeing the recent progress downtown.

The community festival seemed to be having the effect organizers hoped for – to show off the recent improvements made to some Queen Street buildings and to draw some attention to the arrival of a dozen art galleries in formerly vacant storefronts.
