good morning everyone it is Thursday March 16th and we're in Niagara Falls March break this week for the kids no school so we're just gonna go take a walk starting on Center Street here and make our way down Clifton Hill we're gonna look for a few things along the way and just enjoy the time here okay enjoy the sights uh what's happening with the old Guinness Book of Records building let's see if we can find out what's going on with that and then make our way to the falls okay I noticed when I started here where we are just outside of the Post Cereal building they make cereal here for those of you that don't know you can really smell it it smells really good this building right here this used to be an old arena and then it turned into a sand sculpture museum for a while and I just noticed this one boarded up part somebody removed it and you can see what remains of one of the old displays of the sand sculpture we're still here I wonder if there's any more inside I'm not sure but it looks pretty interesting I'm not sure what this one is supposed to be but it looks like almost like maybe there was a U.S flag there you can see on the corner looks like what might have been a flag and then it looks like a rifle here right there yeah kind of interesting yeah it's all sand pretty neat neat find I'll just show you the building here that's what it looks like it's pretty run down a Titanic Museum you know for the boat the Titanic but nothing really developed to that so yeah kind of sad hopefully they'll do something with this eventually it's just abandoned and kind of you know deteriorating see all the doors have been broken the glass is broken so like I said we're just on Center Street and Lewis Avenue [Music] just a little tip for you if you wanna free if you want free parking go down there a little bit near the end of the street there's free parking I think it's for two hours or three hours so it's pretty it's pretty decent so we're just passing the Oasis Motel old sign here pretty ancient I wonder how old this place is it says best price in town I don't know if it's open or not oh yeah it's open it is open doesn't look like they have anybody staying there right now and then to the right you've got choice in by the falls and I'm going to show you up here as we get up here I saw some a really nice mural I want to look at that tulip Olympia motel low rate and

Indian coffee house all day breakfast continental and Indian this place sounds interesting food looks really good dine in and take out and Catering interesting so that's a nice looking restaurant here have they have a little patio it looks like when it gets warmer notice there's like a food truck right here Anchor Bar the original buffalo wing I don't know when they opened that or maybe on the

let's see what the secret garden store has if they let me see line up to go across the border everyone wants to go State side today I guess foreign Gardens that is new to me did not know that at all

restaurant and gets open let's go see if they let me film in there [Music] I've been in here once before just to look around it's really nice in here so I can just show you in the window too what they

all right so I'm just inside of The Secret Garden restaurant I just met Mike the owner who's super nice and he told me they have these pictures of the hotel that used to be for Oaks Garden theater is so I had to come and look at them and show you okay [Music] so it caught on fire and burnt down but yeah so that's how it looked too bad really more pictures here [Music] look at this cool shot of the old cars I like this restaurant it's very really nice and unique look at it looks like Jason playing hockey I know it's also this view of the falls this old View Bridge the old bridge look at that

interesting umbrellas in case it rains so that was The Secret Garden gift shop and restaurant and I got to meet the owner he was very knowledgeable he knew a lot of things about this whole area since he's here for a while and he grew up I think Catherine's like me he said so he told me something interesting about this building down here he said years ago this building right here right across the street you can see there see that one used to be a gift shop and then downstairs of the gift shop was a movie theater can you believe that I had no idea so that's something new that I learned today about I always wondered about that building like I wondered what it was used for so cool and he said there's a stairway we're gonna go see that right now there's a stairway he said that you would exit and come back up the stairs from the movie theater after the movie was done really really cool so you can see it says Niagara Parks Commission on the building let's go see the staircase I know I've seen it there before I just wondered I never knew what it was for you oh yeah you can see it's gated off how cool is that so yeah so this used to be the stairway that went down and then you'd be in the movie theater down there really interesting let's see if I can get a better view of that see yeah they go down and then you'd go right down into the building amazing and then he also told me which I was really appreciating that he told me these things that there used to be a tunnel that went underground into the Oaks Garden theater area [Music] day on the border people crossing over to the states massive lineup of cars heading over a beautiful day too so if you're ever in Niagara Falls you want to check out The Secret Garden restaurant and gift shop I think you should I recommend doing that and you can see they've got the old sign up there see that but I like it I like that he the way he has it in there it's Unique I bet he has a lot of stories too that he could tell me okay we're just gonna make our way up here to the lookout I want to show you something fighting today the beautiful view of the fall of today lots of nice Mists here uh gorgeous day beautiful sunny day [Music] got a nice view up here see the nice skyline of the hotels and the Skyline Tower the yellow bug elevator going down there it goes so this is where that hotel would have been somewhere in this area the one that I showed you in the picture that was on fire inside of The Secret Garden restaurant would have been over here somewhere located here for Oaks Garden theater is really interesting and if I can find it I found a picture an old picture of this old building that used to be down here I gotta see if I can find it if I do I'll put it in there of the building that used to be where you would go to the maid of the Miss Ride it was a beautiful building but yeah so it's no longer there and they used to have an old incline here too that they took away but then they have a new one now let's get over to the lookout so I can show you something I wanted to show you today it's kind of exciting Niagara city cruises horn blower Canada's top visitor experience there's the incline railway right there

history from what I just I saw this morning it's the earliest they've ever opened for the season season March 16th 2023 is a pretty good amount of people on it today I bet you that would be cold
