I went to college in Welland 2013-2015, rented and lived in Welland for 2 and 1/2 years, until my parents moved to the region and I live with them now. Funny thing is, even though I am technically in Niagara Falls, my postal address is still in Welland, because of the fact I'm in a more rural area near the limits of both cities.
I went to Niagara-On-The-Lake this past Sunday to a store called "Customs House Cigars" to buy my first two pipes, pipe cleaners, pipe tool, and some tobacco. It sucks driving there this time of year so much vehicle traffic, and then so many tourist pedestrians to watch for as well. There is a tobacconist here in town in Niagara Falls near the falls themselves, but they have bad reviews about being overpriced, not that knowledgeable, and above all very rude, so I decided not to give them my business, but I guess maybe they are just one of the many businesses seeking to gouge tourists in the area, that's very common here.
To not derail the thread any further, I am going to clean the cob with the dish detergent/soap today.
