Niagara Falls IS a tourist destination........
LOL they hated Cape Code.
Niagara Falls is a source of Hydro Electric power for NYC and most of southern Ontario......
Popular with honeymooners too!
It's also an electrical power generating plant IIRC. Not sure it is still in commission. It was one of the earliest major plants built covering at the time the entire northeast demand.
Reminds me of a few years back a TVA Security Guard found three M.E. nationals at a parking area at Norris Dam in the middle of the night in February. It was about 3:00am best I recall. NCIC system used to check for wanted fugitives files were down but the guard ran the ID's later that morning and they were wanted. Thanks to his gut feeling and stick to it they were arrested later that day.
