Niagara Falls is going to go dry – again

"The sun baking down on the rock isn’t good for the falls and it also affects the appearance of the falls. I’m very concerned about the long-term effects,” Gromosiak said. “I wish they could do it without turning off the falls."

Forget about how much tourism money goes to the Canadian side because the American side is so deficient in any attractions. Forget about pedestrian safety walking across the bridge. Let's worry about how ugly the falls will look with no water for just < 1 year and the color of the rocks BELOW the water changing because of the effect the sun MIGHT have on them.

It's this short sighted thinking that makes me and many others want to leave Western NY and it's this way of thinking that we can't change anything about the city and it's surrounding suburbs for fear of loosing the past. Which is exactly what it is; the past. Many old cities have moved on from their old industrial history. Buffalo and Niagara Falls are still trying to cling to it and for what reason? To preserve history? It stifles innovation; it stifles growth and it restricts money being spent. Only recently (last few years) has money been spent on the downtown water front and it looks amazing. They hold concerts there now; food trucks show up; there are a number of nice restaurants; theres nice green spaces / walking areas. Areas for kids to play - It's great.

Niagara Falls should not be neglected like this.

OMG! Is this true?
