Sharon Linstedt, reporter for the Buffalo News, has a story today on the unknown fate of the Aquarama.

But it is still not known whether the once-proud ship is headed to the scrap yard or new life as a floating casino.
I ran across Cardavenue while reading an article in Money magazine and loved the idea – a website where you can go and post gift cards that you have acquired that you don’t want or need, and try to trade them for other merchants that you might rather have instead. I got a couple Buca…
