    Niagara is one of those border ironies. The US is typically portrayed as shamelessly commercial and tacky....yet at Niagara the US falls is a very tasteful lawned parks, but Niagara in Canada is a row of amusement attractions, minigolf, souvenir shops and commercial cafes looking over the Falls.
    It has a Gatlinburg TN feel.

      @@inkspec2.022 the NY city is, but the city is not at the Falls. Not even in sight of them. If you move back from the falls on the canada side you also get that old rustbelt industrial factory look with thousands of recent immigrants in low income housing filling the vacuum of gentry flight.
      The Canadian strip along the hill overlooking the Falls is very carny looking, very commercial, lots of ads and lighted signs but clean.
      I tend to prefer the parkland side, but if I was into bar crawls, Ripleys, T shirts and bowling...then Canada is the best bet.

      Both sides were like the Canadian side 75 years ago but the leaders on the american side thought all the tourist stuff was tacky and force them to close with some urban renewals and bulldozed their tacky tourist attractions. The results was they they destroyed their tax base since the tacky stuff was generating a lot of taxes which the new stuff never did. the city has since turned into a decayed slum and a wasteland. the Canadian side rightly decided not to destroy themselves and NF Ontario is thriving as a results.

    The Little Rock Zoo over here in Arkansas has a real cool carousel. It’s called “over the jumps” (or something along those lines) instead of the horses going up and down on the poles, the floor goes over hills and valleys.

    My name is Isabella and my parents and I watch your channel all the time! Thank you for brightening our days. We would love to invite you to come see one of the oldest carousels in the country in Albion Pennsylvania. I think you would like it not only for it’s historical significance but it’s got really cool and detailed creatures you could ride! You could come during the Albion Area Fair September 12-17, ( one of the best small town fairs around) or anytime you are available. Let us know, we would love to meet up with you and show you around! Thanks again for all you do😊

    If you go up in the tower there is a rotating restaurant you can eat in up there. As you sit there are plaques around the outer part that doesn't rotate so it lines up with what you're seeing. It used to have a dark ride in the basement arcade and even go karts strangely enough. Still worth a visit though you'll enjoy it.

    King Arthur's Carousel at Disneyland was made by the Dentzel Carousel Company in Philadelphia, PA in 1922 and was located at Sunnyside Beach Park (aka Sunnyside Amusement Park) in Toronto, ONT, Canada from1922 until the park closed in 1954. It was then purchased by Disney, the menagerie animals (giraffes, etc) were replaced with other antique horses, and the carousel was an opening day attraction at Disneyland in 1955.
