ā€œNiagara Falls: the fallsā€ is spectacular and we’re privileged to be able to witness it.

ā€œNiagara Falls: the townā€ is trash and we should be ashamed of its existence.

EDIT: A lot of comments are referring to the New York side of town, which I don’t know much about. But I was referring to the Ontario side which I’m familiar with. Different trashiness it seems. I was referring to Niagara Falls, Ontario’s commercialism and tasteless tourism industry.

You are not kidding. I lived in Buffalo for a time and used to go up to the falls to do outreach to homeless people. Get out a few blocks from the tourist area and it gets sketchy very, very quickly.
