Ok, that's just silly. I am however one of only 75,000 citizens of a city which recieves over 40 million tourists a year. Plus, we just finished our "great new casino" which now has the largest casino gaming floor in the world, so I imagine that number is about to skyrocket. 2 Casino's now, you should see it, the place is starting to look like little Vegas down there.

At least some people still come to see that natural wonder, The Falls. They're nice, however, the fireworks every night arn't... and the traffic... oh god.

Ohhhh... and we get alot of American's coming over because you can drink @ 19 instead of 21 and we have so many strip clubs. The parking lots are full at noon!

.... I need to move....

Hehehehehe, ya, that's about 40 mins from me.... it's nice alright... if you can ignore the fact that there are smokestacks everywhere, some with flames coming out of it.... and ignore that they are tearing down a national biosphere forest to spend 200 million dollars on a highway this area doesn't need.

CobraKaun, Don't you think you are exaggerating the smokestack thing just a tad. Yes there are about five but they are in the industrial area. I happen to live in Stoney Creek a suburb of Hamilton close to the country and it's beautiful. As for the Highway most everyone I know disagrees with it, that's why there have been tons of protests and it has taken already five years for them to complete what they have.
I'm sorry but I don't happen to appreciate you insulting my city, you don't see anyone else doing that do you?

Sorry, didn't realize you would take it so personally....
I wouldn't be upset if you called Niagara Falls tacky.

But there isn't 5 smokestacks, that's under exagerating. Go into the city up the QEW from Niagara, I did yesterday, I counted 26 on my way in, and I missed alot on the other side of the highway.

And yes, I know Stoney Creek, and have been there many times.. and you're right, it is beautiful. I have also been involved in many of the protest of the highway, have met with politicians, and have held many of the fundraisers in Hamilton, including all of the ones @ Pepperjacks. I work very closely with The Friends of the Red Hill Valley, and have been finanicially supporting the natives in their legal battles against the government for illegally using their land.

Have you been down there lately, production has definately not stopped. They have already clearcut a good portion of it, and are in progress of blowing up part of the escartment to continue it.... it's sickening.

No problem, I was having bit of a hard day yesterday.
Anyways I whole heartedly agree with you on the Red hill valley as I live close by it, and am disgusted with it.
I have lived in Stoney Creek my whole life, all of 25 years lol, and I hate what they have done up here, I know everything evolves but I wish it could've stayed the same. It was basically the Country when I was young. Fields everywhere with herds of deer, foxes, eagles and owls; one store, two schools, and no buses on the weekends (I'll admit I hated that). Change isn't always good in my opinon.

He's right.. ... I do remember seeing those smokestacks as I drove up the QEW last year.  But beyond them is some really nice places.
