KISS founder Gene Simmons was honored with the Key to the City for both Niagara Falls and North Tonawanda, New York, and a portion of Main Street in Niagara Falls was also named in his honor.
The ceremony took place on Sunday (August 18th) at City Hall in Niagara Falls, with Mayor Robert Restaino and Mayor Austin Tylec bestowing Simmons with the Key to the City of both Niagara Falls and North Tonawanda, respectively.
Additionally, Mayor Restaino announced that a downtown street in Niagara Falls — a portion of Main Street between Pine and Cedar — will temporarily be renamed “Gene Simmons Boulevard,” acknowledging Simmons’ investment in the local business community, specifically through his partnership with Niagara Falls-based Rock Steady Sodas.
