The Niagara River, in a photograph by Hauser Bob taken sometime after 1919, is seen here looking east from Fort Erie, Ontario. The glow of the recently rediscovered neon sign of the Mentholatum Company, 1360 Niagara Street, is visible at center. Lights from the living rooms and kitchens of shanties along the Towpath, long before construction of the Niagara Thruway wiped away this community, are also visible. This is the picture of a city that, even at night, had an intimate relationship with the river.
