it should have read, "too dangerous FOR HIM."

He's not well-liked up here.

He said in the article it was too difficult to ensure his personal safety. He doesn't need to come up here anyway, he can peddle his crap somewhere else.
For the record, the crime rate here is at it's lowest point since 1973. No need to come up here and piss anyone off.

It would be dangerous for him to go anywhere, the guy just had a heart transplant.

Niagara Falls, especially the Canadian side, is a gaudy, tacky tourist trap full of neon lights and cheap motels with heart-shaped beds. It's a "poor man's Vegas".

In other words, it's my kind of place!

I saw them back in the 60's, but Cheryl has not seen them. They were spectacular as I remember.
