What on earth were they thinking? Last year I posted that the Travelodge by the Falls had renovated one of their end rooms that was beside Victoria Avenue, and someone rented it and turned it into a Pit Stop (a snack bar). That didn’t seem to do that well, and a store called High Times has opened which sells, among other things, pipes and bongs:
I don’t think this is the family atmosphere most people are looking for…

This is so tacky, people will be walking on the other side of the street to avoid it. Not what the area needs!
I will never stay at this hotel.
Come on People … It just a store that has nothing to do with the hotel …. There are rights … If they want to sell bongs go ahead … there are other stores that sell the same thing in Niagara Falls. I’ve stayed there many times and in my opion it’s the best hotel in Niagara. There rates are fair and the staff are great. Running a hotel isnt the cheapest thing but if they can lease a room to make money it’s o.k.
why doesnt everyone just cry about it!
Acohol has been proven to be a more harmful drug than marijuanna and i dont here you complaining about the bars in the lobby, not to mention this hightimes doesnt even sell marijuanna, grow up just because booze is accepted in our culture does not make it ok, so maybe you shouldnt be brainwashed by society and how they tell you what’s right and whats wrong (they say “jump”, you say “how high”).
I guess I missed the pro-alchohol “lets bring as many bars to NF as possible, bars are great” post? But since you brought it up, nobody was debating the two subjects merit’s. Alchohol=legal Pot= is not I think thats the bigger picture. This site isn’t a forum for debating if weed should be legal or not, so I’m not going to get into that with you.
The point on another “high times” post that I made was, do whatever you want to do in the privacy of your own home, but this kind of thing isn’t necessary in a high traffic family tourist destination. These are things that scare away family tourist dollars from returning. I don’t think bars are a great thing either, but that’s a fact that comes with alchohol being legal. Please campaign for this cause somewhere else, this isn’t the place to do it.
I am not pro-pot, but I do recognize that people can do/sell what they want. As Niagara said, this site isn’t a forum for debating marijuana. My biggest problem with this was the location (attached to a hotel) and the look. Americans definitely are less accepting of marijuana than Canadians are. If there is a store selling accessories that is part of a hotel, I would think that would severely hurt the number US guests staying at the hotel. And that bright yellow sign… I wasn’t a fan or it.
Oh, and rd2d, next time use a real email address.
I wonder if the two critical bloggers are one in the same? It sounds like you have either a couple of stalkers or people jealous about the way you run this blog or the publicity you are getting from it. I would hate it if people start making negative comments or basic untrue facts cauging you to have to monitor all the posts before they can apprear.
They came from different IP addresses (one from Cogeco, one from Sympatico), so it’s hard to tell.
Anyway, let’s just ignore this for now and I’ll deal with any problems when or if they happen.
alright, 2 people like that, coincidence?
If you are talking about the Smoke post from 2006 that was me. I have stayed in the hotel in the pass and develop a relationship with the owners. I was standing up for the owners right to lease the space. As long as they arent doing anything illegal. I didn’t care for the store and once ownership change hands I haven’t stayed there since.
I have never done any drugs and never plan too. I think these store bring a bad rep. to tourist area like NF and Toronto. To me thses stores encourage young people that it is OK to do drugs.
somone said that they wont stay in a hotel because theres a store that sells marijuanna paraphernalia, thats a stupid thing to say Im not even going to comment on it.
family oriented you say? well you need to be realistic, your kids will encounter marijuanna sooner or later and thats a given, if you want to be blind to the fact that its in almost every school and almost everyone in highschool(in canada at least) is exposed to it than thats your choice, your acting like anything that is Illegal is morally wrong and if you think that way than you are ignorant, and maybe your not welcome here in canada.
no, smoke, i meant the cooper post on high times is closing and the first rd2d post, sorry for any mix-up
anyway, bud, whatever’s illegal IS wrong, just because you encounter it doesn’t make it right.
rd2d I have been going to high school for 5 years and have not encounter any type of drugs once.
nope, no drugs at my school (that i know about about)
