The immediate urban area next to the Canadian Falls is a weird Vegas-ish tourist-trap zone.

The U.S. side feels relatively empty, and somewhat decayed, but is improving.

I stayed at a boutique hotel downtown (U.S. side) for a business trip (on the top floors of a converted office building), and there was a strip of new businesses on one of the streets. I remember a tapas place and panini place, among others.

So there seemed to be seedlings of improvement.
