Art Alley is Scene of Super Stupid Criminal

A public art display of some 19 murals on exterior walls of buildings on an alley between the 400 block of Third Street and Ferry Avenue has been renamed “Art Alley”.

As an unfortunate coincidence of the unveiling of this new and artistic alley – and in keeping with Niagara Falls‘ designation as the most violent crime riddled city in New York State – at around 6:30 p.m., on Saturday October 22, while covering the event, a News 4 photographer and a reporter were assaulted by four men who demanded money and the expensive TV 4 camera.

While they resisted giving up the camera, the photographer was taken to the hospital with injuries: a black eye, cuts and bruises, a facial fracture and he needed stitches inside of his mouth. The reporter, Nick Quattrini, suffered minor injuries after they were cornered in the alley by the four men who threatened them with a gun.

The photographer captured at least one of the assh*les on camera and shortly afterward the Niagara Falls Police arrested Evan Stafford, 26, charging him with assault and attempted robbery in connection with the incident.

Quattrini posted a video on his Facebook page. And identifies Stafford as the one shown being arrested by police.

Enjoy the artwork in the alley.

Far Too Often, Promises Have Proved Empty; Niagara Falls Needs Progress And Strategic Planning

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina Promises are nice and they bring hope for the future. But unfortunately, most of the time, promises have fallen flat for the City of Niagara Falls, some succeeding but many turning out to be empty promises and major disappointments. At this point, Niagara Falls doesn’t need more failed promises. What the city needs is progress to build a better future and a plan to make it work. City leadership must bring it all together. While there are promises to build a better future on the table and being talked about, like Centennial Park and the Niagara Digital

Governor Issues Response To McMurray’s Letter on Slag Concerns

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina The radioactive slag bubbling up across Niagara County in recent weeks, triggering state and federal testing and some remedial work and family relocations, is the ongoing and seemingly never-ending legacy of the environmental desecration of the past 100-plus years by massive corporations dumping toxic waste that was the subject of Christen Civiletto’s book Thundering Waters. “What we have again is an environmental storm,” said attorney and former Grand Island Supervisor Nate McMurray, a candidate for election to the 45th District State Assembly seat now open because of the retirement of Angelo Morinello. McMurray will run for the
