I remember it well. I was 11 years old, and lived then and still live only about 40 miles from there. It was amazing. The Canadian side has always looked better with less debris at the bottom. Always impressive though.

I also remember going to the Falls after the H.S. Prom....and seeing tons of kids doing the same, walking around in tuxedos and prom dresses. Foreigners with cameras taking pictures all over......some of them no doubt thinking this is how rich Americans dress all the time.

Back then I worked at a service station pumping gas. We would always get folks stopping to ask directions to Niagara Falls. Sometimes I'd say, "Better hurry, the Falls turn off after 9pm", to which some folks would believe it....lol.
