Call me nuts but I don't think Niagara Falls qualifies as a real city.

"Not sure I agree with you there. I mean, yeah lots of highrises but when you're actually downtown, it doesn't feel like its THAT dense. In my opinion, its the smallest feeling big city i've ever been to haha."

I agree. Walking from the Granville Bridge to the West End looks dense but when walking it it feels like a coastal resort town. There is not retail on every block like you have in other big Eastern Canadian cities.

Niagara Falls is like Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It's a total tourist town.

You right, but most Canadian cities are the same, excluding Toronto. They are small and beautiful.

Niagara Falls may be a big draw for tourists, but the St. Catharine's-Niagara Falls Census Metropolitan Area had a population of 390,317 in 2006. It's by no means a big city, but it's a little too big to call a town, or merely a tourist spot. This is a city with a substantial resident population, auto plants, Brock University, and all the characteristics of a regular city. Niagara Falls is just as much a real city as Reno, Atlantic City, or Honolulu. All tourist towns, but all real cities.
