I not sure what the final will look like. But it's fair to say something will be built on Murray St. It can/will be very tall since it will only block the view of the Skylon elevator. Something around 30 floors. And probably a Holiday Inn or something from that family of banners InterContinental. The original Holiday Inn By The Falls wasn't a real Holiday Inn, it was allowed to exist because it was older than the chain itself. This has been finally settled with Skylon and InterContinental Hotels. A hotel in this location will have the best view of any Fallsview hotel -- it will look directly into the 'veil' and horseshoe. The moraine trail is going to be developed too, and this will make a good connector for a Skylon hotel. As well the pedestrian promenade will connect Clifton with Fallsview giving another option to the blvd and Victoria. Don't worry about the high cdn dollar, the Falls will still be rolling.

My wish for the Falls is to have a University. Like UNLV, not Brock but a new one all together.
