On Saturday, 10/20/18, I was in need of some last minute medical equipment. On a fluke, I happened…read moreto be in Niagara Falls, NY for an appointment. I asked SIRI for some thrift store suggestions. I chose the second suggestion-Niagara Heritage of Hope and Service. Being only a few minutes away, I took a chance and went there. It was obviously an old Catholic school/church. Feeling nostalgic (and having a sense of deja-vu), I entered the old building and was immediately greeted by a very happy woman and a young man. When I explained my situation, she immediately sprang into action! Within moments, she found a walker with wheels and a quad cane in great condition! During that time, she told me the history of the former church (Holy Trinity) and all the things they do there now. Even though I was short on time, I decided to browse! There literally was something for everyone! The people entering and exiting-they were SO SWEET and full of conversation. There was a young boy who asked (very politely)if there were masks that went with a specific costume. This lovely woman again stopped what she was doing to help him! I was totally impressed! (She was short-handed that day, but she didn't let that overwhelm her!) As for me? I ended up walking out of there with a beautiful afghan and holiday decorations (besides the medical equipment)-and it didn't break the bank!!! When I left the area, it then hit me-I HAD been there years ago! I was a young teacher at that time and had to go there for a training! If you know of someone with a limited income, or if you want to save a few $$, or if you have a sense of appreciation for all things thrifty, this place is worth a look a look (or two or three!) I WILL be back! Please note-they are only opened on Saturdays.

Sophie was a wonderful guide giving me so much info on the prophet Isaiah that I felt I knew the man. His dedication and devotion to the prophecy was apparent in his artwork. You could feel the passion. Sophie pointed out the symbolism helping me tto see what was hidden in the multitude of color and shapes painted in and on the house. There was so much to take in, every view point looked different. I kept finding new things. I was able to take my time and really look at everything, ask any questions I had and just relax and enjoy the experience. I loved it!

I knew the chef's story but didn't realize his place was in the tourist district of Niagara Falls. The guys working there were very personable and seemed to enjoy being there. They probably could have sold me the whole menu. In any case I went for the oxtail gumbo and a couple tacos...throw in some rice and beans as well. Everything was fine, the gumbo was a bit low on flavor. It wasn't the best gumbo I've had but it wasn't the worst either. It was definitely middle of the road. The tacos were ok. I had a fish taco and a shrimp taco. Loss of cabbage/ slaw and other toppings. Tasted fine if a bit short on fish...only 2 shrimps in the taco. The place was very clean and they were playing fun music - not too loud.
