Niagara, NY



First we begin with the Niagara Wax Museum of History - the WORST and therefore the BEST wax museum EVER. This is up there with the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum that displays the glass that Bill Clinton drank from alongside a Skeletor castle from the old He-Man cartoons.



Marni gave me the "bad use of caulk" tour:





Since Annie Edson Taylor was mentioned in a previous entry, here she is emerging dazed and confused from the falls after her rescue:



The first white man to view Niagara Falls (political correctness is not in this museum's vocabulary):



A re-enactment of Devil's Hole Massacre:



Next to a display of "The Three Most Beautiful Women in the World" (Mother Teresa was wearing cheap, mens' hirachis):



Drag Queen Di!



and Julia Roberts (Have I mentioned this wax museum was last updated 20+ years ago?):



As witnessed by signage like this:



Proofreading is necessary:



We did get our "horrorscope" before leaving:



JR re-enacting the Devil's Hole Massacre or was it the dead Maid of the Mist (photo by Marni Shindelman):



One of many contraptions featured all over the town of objects people went over the falls in:



More contraptions at the Dare Devil Mini Mart:



This one went down on my birthday!



Everything I heard about the town of Niagara is true (it's sad and depressing while the Canadian side looks so much more inviting):



But at least the US side has floating ice cream cones... (but alas the foliage died in the planters underneath):
