Beside the falls the air is wet before any rain begins, and the spray finds you on the street.
When the weather turns
Beside the falls the air is wet before any rain begins, and the spray finds you on the street. The resort sits above that, on the Fallsview slope, and it is tied to its neighbours by enclosed walkways rather than by pavements, which shapes every poor afternoon here.
Where everyone goes
The day gathers in the internal galleria of shops and dining and in the entertainment centre, where events are held. Guests from adjoining hotels arrive along the covered links, so the interior can be busier on a poor day than on a fine one, and the galleria works as a street.
What stops working
Viewing platforms, the paths by the water and the open terraces depend on conditions and may be closed. What was to be an evening outdoors turns into an evening inside the complex, and the walk down towards the falls is dropped.
What the building does
Enclosed links are the answer. Covered walkways and a skyway carry people between buildings without a coat, lifts handle the slope rather than stairs on wet stone, and the interior street of the galleria gives a long day somewhere to go.
