Back in those days, the Canadian side was much more pleasant than it
is now. The first time I went to the falls, in the 1960s, the Canadian
side was very nice, while the American side had a lot of tacky tourist
stands and a big neon advertisement over the falls. Over the years,
the American side has gotten much nicer. The falls area is all
parkland now and the advertisement is long gone. The Canadian side, on
the other hand, has been tackied up so that it resembles some of the
American horrors in the Smoky Mountain region. They still have a great
view, and lots of (way too many) hotels, but that's all.
