My only comment, thing to be concerned with is, the limited availability of shade. On one of the hottest days of summer, it felt like it was 100+ degrees in the strong sun. So, if you get married here, be sure to plan for shade for you and your guests.

I'm so grateful to this community garden and all that it adds to the LaSalle area. Soon, in the…read moresummer - it will be blooming full of fresh produce. Throughout spring, the little patches of landscaping add a lot of character to the area. A local church group in the area helps run it, although I'm not super clear on how to contribute or join the garden from any signs jogging by it. It's on my regular jogging track. If you ever find yourself in the LaSalle neighborhood in Niagara Falls, maybe if you're walking down to the Amy & Co. coffeeshop from Buffalo Ave, give this place a walkthrough! It's beautiful.

I do feel a bit odd, driving into a cemetery just to go for a hike, but it's totally worth it. The raised wooden walkways make for a very unique experience and it's a long, meandering, awesome park through the woods. It's VERY WET - so definitely be sure to load up on bugspray b/c even if it's not "bug season" you WILL GET DESTROYED by mosquitos!

They gave everyone a bucket and shovel to use along with an identification card. We brought our own rock hammers and tools. The guide was terrific, explained the activity, a little history and brought us to a good spot where he showed us how to locate fossils. They are EVERYWHERE! Very easy to find. Harder to see with sun high. Easier to find after rain. I wish I had brought a water spray bottle and a magnifying glass to use in the shelter area. Great activity for anyone 3 and up.

This is a wonderful store for everything Buffalo!…read more I was at Nickel City Designs for a fundraising party this evening. They kept the store open late for us, allowed us to bring vendors in, and were wonderful hosts. I totally recommend all organizations to work with them. I did all of my shopping with this store and crossed off so many people on my shopping list. They carry a large variety of Buffalo products from local artists. I especially loved the variety of Polish Buffalo products. I had to stop myself from purchasing the butter lamb pillow.

Do you like driving around during the Christmas season to check out all the holiday decirations? Well this is an amazing neighborhood where over 300 houses get together and decorate for this holiday event. They even supply a map of the best route to take to be able to see everything. It runs from Thanksgiving night until New Years Day. The event is free but there's spots along the route to make donations. Each year they give the donations to a different organization. This past year (2024) the money was going to the Lancaster Depew Boys & Girls Club. Remember - Thanksgiving night 2025 2025-9

I should've taken some pictures, but I was driving my family so I let them do the picture taking. It's free. It's amazing. This year (2025 Xmas season) the 100% of the donations collected will go to a charity by the name of Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Worthwhile cause for sure. They build beds for children in the city of Buffalo who are in need of beds.

You'll get a welcome reception walking in. They do plenty of custom work for t-shirts and things. But they also have plenty of interesting jewelry. I believe most locally made.
