Subject: Wow, Niagara Falls Author: Terfra1 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Monday, June 09, 08:58:48pm Author Host/IP: 75-33-248-46.lightspeed.brhmal.sbcglobal.net/75.33.248.46 Went to the Alumni Golf event and took my wife to tour my old haunts at NU and Niagara Falls. I was absolutely shocked and frankly, disgusted, by the current state of the city. How did things ever get that bad? It wasn’t great in 1980, but we went downtown to bars and restaurants. I wouldn’t let a freshman kid near NU now. As we drove, we saw people shooting up and passed out. I have been in some real shitholes in this country and NF is right up there with the worst of them. Every City Councilperson, Mayor, Congressman involved in NF should be held responsible for the hellhole that the Falls has become. Seriously, one of the greatest natural wonders in the world right there and they can’t figure out how to make the Falls a pleasant experience?

[> Subject: Re: Wow, Niagara Falls Author: RCM [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Wednesday, June 11, 07:47:24am Author Host/IP: NoHost/104.28.58.1 It is nearly impossible to believe a parent would send their kid anywhere near the falls. And that is very sad. 20 years ago there were some bad parts you knew to stay away from and some bad bars you knew not to go to. Today it is a complete nightmare. The saving grace is Lewiston is closer to NU than downtown NF for students. Over the past several years there have been a lot more kids from NU in Lewiston and just not for late night fun.

It’s not a dying city. It is a dead city. But NU is not Niagara Falls. It is Lewiston which is lovely. The kids I teach at NU really don’t go to Niagara Falls. Why? There’s nothing there.

I can name a ton of places like Temple, U of Miami, USC, Detroit Mercy, Canisius, Fordham, Columbia, Mass Lowell, Johns Hopkins...just to name a few when you step off the campus you are immediately in a dicey area. I got more places just ask me. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Niagara Falls is very dangerous and very sad. There are addicts shooting up. You pull up to a corner and see 2-3 people doing the dope fiend lean. Very sad. No police. No one cares there.

It’s not as if there’s a bad area nearby, I am talking the entire downtown area from Deveaux to Third Street. It’s simply pathetic that a city so close to a phenomenal natural attraction can’t position itself as an attractive tourist destination. As someone who was born there and who attended University there, I was disgusted. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
