Niagara Falls Freezing Onlooker
Later in the evening tourism and crowds at Niagara Falls are reduced. Only the hardy hang out at ice covered railings to observe the spectacle.
American Cinema Experience
The best way to experience a film in a US cinema is in the fully reclined position. If your "luxury recliner" seats are not super squishy and electrically actuated you should ask for your money back.

Hull Stone, Buffalo
The Hull family did not move to Buffalo to "get away from the weather" associated with the North Sea and found the first year quite challenging. The family then became famous for their meat pie shop which no longer exists. In more recent times the Hull Stone has been rumored to bestow luck upon anyone who lays a hand on it and repeats out loud the phrase "Hull is actually quite a nice place" three times. This rumor is so strong that on occasions a polite queue of luck seekers forms.

View Over Freeway, Bagley Road Footbridge, Detroit
The feeling of being fenced in was quite strong. One half expected shouts of "Fresh Meat" at entrance to the corridor into the correctional facility. Thankfully the footbridge was little used by the walkers of Motor City and these thoughts were enjoyed alone.
Astro Coffee, Corktown, Detroit
Unless you are allergic to students and hipsters this place is well worth a visit. The coffee is superb.
