Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

And of course, the Falls. Your side first.



Going out on a limb here, and hazarding a guess that the projection lights have not yet been upgraded to LED. Truth is, the mist from our side obscures most of the lights anyway, so your side lights up way better.

And our side:



My favourite spot, as you know.


Looking straight down!


LED lights.

I have zero inclination to garden, but I very much appreciate the efforts of God and His helpers.




And I love squirty water.

Clifton Hill, while cleaner than it ever was, is still tacky as heck!



This scene at the Movieland Museum used to be Indy with the Ark. The scene itself was marginally better, but the music rocked.
For some reason, they were not playing the Pirates score, which is also pretty cool.


A little better at night.


This is way better.

You don't have to speak about them then.

Spoiler

Just post pictures.

I think this satisfies the definition of a funicular, but they don't call it that. They should. It is such a fun word to say ... funicular, funicular, funicular.



Horsies. I would like to do this in NYC next month. I fear it will be stupid expensive though; and we all know I'm CHEAP!


I like the juxtaposition of old and new.


And today, I'm back to watching Judge Judy in between doing a few loads of laundry. No worries.

@JenniferS , you outdid yourself today with fun photos of both old and new sites, plus, your interesting travel critique. I like all the places you went! (Oh, P.S.: I didn't realize the Underground Railroad extended into Canada. That fact caught my attention.)

Hey, we all have to make an income one way or another.

(And for the record, your one-man tribute to Cher was spot on! Nice vocal range.)

I stayed there quite a few years ago--well before Marriott took it over--and they've really upgraded the hotel. I just checked out the photos now, and it's very nice.

The location can't be beat--I loved that it was within walking distance of so many things to see and do in the city. Nice choice!!

This is only the second National Hamiltons Day. Interesting back story there.

Yup, we stayed there back when it was a Radisson too. Marriott seems to have plussed it quite a bit.

Mike really liked the attached coffee shop/diner. He said it felt very Seinfeld 'ish. I appreciated the attached Starbuckie's.

Google says that was 55 Central Park West.

Yes, a Radisson! That was driving me nuts, trying to remember who flagged it before Marriott came in.

I hate that the Dakota is now surrounded my modern buildings. Someone wasn't thinking!



Thankfully the San Remo has fared better.


I've still got some time, but I'm researching walking tours. This is one of the few times when I'm actually willing to pay. I love history and architecture. I fully expect to come home totally obsessed with the Dakota again.
