Residents of Niagara Falls were shocked Saturday, June 13th, 2020, to learn that an often-traveled dirt path in the LaSalle area was suddenly filled with nails sticking out of the ground.

“Be careful,” said Giselle, a Niagara Falls resident, “someone has spiked a local dirt walking trail with BIG nails. They embedded the head in the ground with only the tip above ground. Both my neighbor and I got nails through our shoes and into our feet. Luckily my very large dog managed to dance around them.”

Giselle told the Niagara Reporter that she removed more than thirty nails for the ground that were deliberately implanted to cause injury.

 

 

A report was filed with the Niagara Falls Police Department and the land is owned by the State.

The area is between 56th Street (west) and the I-190 (east) and Stevenson Avenue (South) and Frontier Avenue (North).

 

 

The Niagara Reporter has learned that multiple individuals have been injured as a result of the nails sticking out.

As of the date of this article, there are no leads as to who placed the nails in the ground or why.

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
