Delaware North owner and billionaire Jeremy Jacobs was visiting his restaurants and food stands in Niagara Falls State Park when he decided to go for a drive through the city of Niagara Falls. He drove past a vacant lot where there was a small group of children who were eating the grass in the lot because they were so hungry.

Jacobs had his limo driver pull to the curb and he rolled down his window and asked a woman, who was watching over the children, “Why are they eating grass?” She told him that many people in the city of Niagara Falls were poor because all the tourists who come here every year eat in the state park instead of restaurants and diners in the city.

Jacobs pondered this for a moment, then told the woman, “Then I insist that as many children as will fit climb into my limousine and come with me to my estate where they will eat their fill!”

“Thank you, sir, from the bottom of my heart!” cried out the woman.

“Oh, no problem,” said Jacobs, “The gardener called in sick yesterday and the grass is several inches tall.”

On the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the incorporation of the city of Niagara Falls, Gov. Cuomo came to give a speech, which went like this:

“Niagara Falls residents… Let’s look at the amazing accomplishments here in the city of Niagara Falls since I became governor. For example, here sits Maria. Who was she before? An impoverished homeless woman. And now? She has a job doing laundry at the Hamister Hilton.

“Or look at Jamal. He was the poorest man in this city, had not even a bicycle to get around on. And now? He washes dishes at the Niagara Lodge! Or even look at Paul. He was a professional student, a lowlife beer guzzler, and such a spineless sycophant as to make even me want to sick up. Nobody trusted him. And now he’s your four-term mayor!”

Q: Where do water board members go to resolve their disputes?

Seth Piccirillo kept a pet parrot in his office, and one day told Mayor Dyster’s some bad news. “Somebody stole my pet parrot!” he complained.

“Well, why don’t you report it to the police?” asked Dyster.

“I did,” said Piccirillo, “I just wanted you to know ahead of time, the parrot and I disagree on just about everything!”

A boy asks his Niagara Falls grandfather: “Grandpa, is it true that in 1978 there was an accident at Love Canal?”

“Yes, there was,” answered the Grandpa and patted his grandson’s head.

“Grandpa, is it true that it had absolutely no consequences?”

“Yes, absolutely,” replied the Grandpa, patting his grandson’s second head.

Craig Bucki Stands Out in Race for Supreme Court, Has All the Tools to Be Strong Judge

By tony Farina · September 16, 2026

By Tony Farina I’ve covered many court proceedings and trials in my more than 35 years as a newspaper and television reporter and I want to make the point at the beginning of this story that whether elected or appointed, some judges are fair and honest and many others fall short of the mark. In other words, the word jurist does not convey skill and knowledge of the law; it is just a role that some serve with distinction, and others do not. By definition, a jurist is a person who has expert or thorough knowledge of the law but

Is Niagara Falls Crisis Self-Inflicted? Lots of Questions, Few Answers

By tony Farina · September 15, 2026

By Tony Farina There are certainly many questions swirling around the mayor’s declaration of a state of emergency in Niagara Falls over trash, blight, and deteriorating streets that was declared back on July 20 and has been extended several times since because, according to Mayor Robert Restaino, the City Council refused to approve contractor agreements. But some observers point to depleted staff at City Hall, like in Public Works and Code Enforcement and other departments, as really self-inflicted wounds that are the underlying reasons work is not getting done in the city. Or is there even more to the story,

The  Data Center That Answers Hochul’s Objections There was a time when Niagara Falls did not ask Albany whether it was permitted to prosper. The river was here. That was enough. The town had something Albany couldn’t give it. It used what was here. Water. Power. Work. Jobs. Industry. A future. In 1895, the Adams plant took the river and put it into wire. The current went to Buffalo. It changed the industrial world. Tesla supplied the designs. Westinghouse built the machines. Niagara supplied the falling water. Then industries came. Electrochemical. Electrometallurgical. They came because Niagara offered abundant, inexpensive electricity.

Niagara Falls Has Millions of Tourists But Needs to Find a Way to Capture That Wealth

By tony Farina · September 8, 2026

By Tony Farina The City of Niagara Falls, N.Y., boasts one of the world’s greatest natural wonders that people from around the world come to see, but despite incredible tourism numbers of more than nine million visitors a year, the city of now less than 50,000 people is still pretty darn poor. Niagara Falls does not have a tourism problem; it has a tourism-capture problem, and the distinction should be a starting point for a serious new discussion about the city’s future. And ladies and gentlemen, that discussion needs to start now. The question is no longer whether Niagara Falls
