Here are a couple photos sent to us by Curtis of Thorold. He said that he found this place, on Glenridge Avenue in St. Catharines, to “not be very modern at all”.

I took these photos on one of my many outings down in the tourist district by Niagara Falls. It was a cloudy wet day in the summer of 2005. I just recently found them on a disc and I thought I would share them with you.

If you have seen the movie Chuck and Larry, you would remember the part when they come to Niagara Falls to get married. As Chuck and Larry ride around in the cab, you can see stock footage of local businesses pass by. Most of the business names where changed, photoshopped if you will, to names of Wedding Chapels. While watching the video below, see if you can guess what they really are and place your answer in the comments.
