NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.—The beat goes on near the Niagara Falls bistro, Wine on Third. And on and on and on and on.

What sounds like a marching band rendition of the University of Iowa fight song plays on a grating loop all evening, every evening from a vacant building across the street from the restaurant.

Why remains anyone’s guess, even after a flurry of media attention last week had theories flying.

It wasn’t the Iowa caucus. That came and went Monday with no change.
