    Tonsorial Parlor was what barber shops used to be called.
    A tonsorial parlor is an inner sanctum where a man can receive the highest level of barbering services in a setting that compliments this ancient art.

    Jacob, you are the best, most dedicated, and the most hardworking travel vlogger out there! Some Western NY ideas:
    Last Sunday I did the coolest thing in Buffalo: climbed the Buffalo Lighthouse, built in 1833. It was open on a Sunday to commemorate National Lighthouse Day. They tell me it's open Saturdays during the summer, though. That'd be perfect for your vlog, although the climb is not for the faint of heart. (But anyone who can do the St. Louis City Museum or climb through other types of tunnels should be fine.) Other Buffalo ideas: the spot (not much there, but it's complete with a historical marker) where President McKinley was assassinated, the house where President Teddy Roosevelt was sworn in afterward, tour of our old art deco style city hall (you can go out on the observation platform), Iron Island Museum in Buffalo (old and creepy and reportedly haunted), go aboard our WWII-era battleships at the Buffalo Naval and Serviceman's Park. We also have the Buffalo Maritime Museum, Pierce Arrow Museum, Explore and More Museum, (which is for kids, but what the hey), and a historic carousel at Canalside and tours of Lake Erie and the Niagara River by boat. You could send the drone up around Buffalo's Central Terminal, which does not have trains running through it any longer, but it's also in the art deco style and is the location where many families bade farewell, sometimes for the last time, to soldiers who were departing for war. You can't usually enter, except during the Hallowe'en season they have ghost tours. North Tonawanda, near Buffalo, has a carousel museum, where master craftsmen carved the figures. I know I have gone on for a while, but as far as fascinating stuff to do in Buffalo is concerned, I have only scratched the surface. Oh, and our zoo is old and historic, some of the War of 1812 was fought here, and we have architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright. Go to Old Fort Niagara; you will love it.
    Love you man, Jen too, and don't listen to jerks.

    The Falls are amazing…I grew up and live 20 minutes from there..Maid of the Mist is great, Cave of The Winds scared the HELL out of me lol..not only is the water super powerful, but the wooden stairs are super slippery..always have been.. not like they can actually shut off the Falls so they can treat the wood, but getting leveled by the water and sliding on the stairs was enough for me! Just over the border, Niagara on the Lake is amazing and Old Fort Niagara… you’re super close to Buffalo, come and visit, I can show you around!

      I was once in an indie Fringe musical called GOT LUCKY about barrel jumpers. I believe the show opened with the lyric, "Barrel jumpers of the world, I feel your pain." My favorite lyric that I belted out was, 🎶"When they find my head, I want it to be grinning...at the bottom, the bottom of Niagara Falls." 🎶

    Loved bike riding for years around the falls and having the mist of the falls cool me down during the hotter months.
    The fall season is gorgeous and sunrise and sunsets so magical.
    The night light show was always nice and not sure if they are still doing weekend fireworks that was nice while eating an ice cream cone. 😋
    I appreciated one of the wonders of the world immensely.
    Love your attention to detail in all your videos to allow travelers to learn so much about the area and attractions.

    At 28:30 the display actually is supposed to commemorate the barge that got scuttled in the Canadian Rapids in the early 1900's and the rescue of the two workers that were still aboard when the barge broke free from its mooring up river. The barge , albeit rusted , still sits in the shoal above the Horseshoe Falls to this day.
