Nightmares Haunted House

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Last nights event was a group to Nightmares Haunted House followed by the Wild Mushroom.  I’ve seen pictures of people that have gone through Nightmares and really had no desire to go.  However, I was doing the group last night, so that meant that I HAD to go in. There were 10 of us all together, 4 of the them had gone out with me the night before to watch the fireworks, so we were more friendly with each other this time around.

I had to convince one of the girls to go, and she kept saying how scared she was to go and that she would probably chicken out.  The 3 guys from France came as well, so I thought it would be a fun idea to put her with them, as I had a feeling they would make it more fun for her.  Yeah…. I wasn’t wrong at all! haha  I went in with the first group and in no time the Pierre (who was in the front) kept stoping… “No, I don’t want to be in the front, you go first!”  We had to push them all the way through!

It wasn’t a gory thing, it was a case of not knowing what was going to happen and where.  However, so as to not ruin the experience for anyone who may come to Niagara Falls, I’m going to stop there.  Needless to say there was a lot of screaming, which is played over the PA system in the store below as you walk through.  I was told I was screaming the loudest, which I would believe as my ribs were a tad sore when the whole thing was over.

Afterwards we went next door to the Wild Mushroom.  A very lively night, everyone mingled, drank and had a good time.  I was proud to see my little french boys open up and have fun, as they were so withdrawn the night before.  Those boys are hilarious!  They bought 1 pint of Guinness to share amongst the 3 of them, took a sip and didn’t like it, but that didn’t stop them.  They continued to buy 1 at a time and share it.  It was too funny for words.  8 pints later there was a lot of dancing going on!

LoCoco’s

Hidden just off Victoria and Bridge St., is a fabulous Italian fruit and vegetable market called LoCoCo’s.  Surprisingly enough, this market has been in business in Niagara since 1906!  They sell all kinds of super fresh fruits and vegetables in a somewhat cool room, authentic Italian breads (not the kind you buy at grocery store chains), and fresh meats.

There’s something very satisfying about walking to a local, family run market and buying produce that’s so fresh.  Eating it is like Christmas for my taste buds.
