Next time you're heading to Niagara get off at Brant street and drive south to Lakeshore. Park and check out the waterfront and the tiny downtown area. Not much to see really but it is nice for us locals. The pier should be finished soon and the performing arts centre designed by Diamond is currently under construction. Forms are up. Anyhow, after you've seen enough you can then drive east along Lakeshore where you can head back onto the highway at North Shore Blvd to cross the Skyway and continue on your way.
