Cans are a lot more easy to recycle because there are a lot of kinds of plastic. Cans and glass are the way! - Niagara Ball
I went to the Canadian side for vacation from 2011 to 2015, then to the American side in 2016. Absolutely stunning.
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.
“Looks like this guy’s apple shriveled a little too much” is my new multi-use insult!
Lol, that was truly hilarious. Those remarks are one of Jacob's special talents!
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.
Thank you for showcasing the American side of the Falls. It is so beautiful. When you live so close you forget how amazing it really is.
bro fr
I’ve only ever seen the Canadian side, so it’s cool to see the American one!
Pumped for this one! Wax Museums are the best. Edit- this was one of the best videos in a while- thanks Jacob!
They are on the Canadian side...
Rosebud and Like a Dolls Eyes…it must be Jacob !
FUN!!!! Thanks for letting us tag along!!!
@The Carpetbagger at 20:58 You wrongly said '1957' when that sign actually says '1857'
I caught that too. 👍🏽
My Mom said I don't remember him being around in 1957 😀
Was there 2 weeks ago for my honeymoon. Iam Canadian and stayed at the Sheraton with a gorgeous view. I live a couple hours away and go every so often.
Those apple head sculptures were the idea used for the Vincent Price Shrunken Head Sculpture kit back in the 70’s.
Living in Michigan, I have been to both sides. The falls are amazing. I'm surprised that the daredevils survived. The falls are extremely powerful. Thanks for bringing the American side it brings back memories.
A few daredevils have survived, but most tragically died there.
Great video! I grew up near the falls too, and especially enjoyed the wax museum - it hasn’t changed since I was a kid!
Jacob should try going over the falls in a giant carpetbag.
Tonsorial is an antiquated word for hair styling. Basically, he got a haircut
I’m wondering if Jacob knew that, or he really thought it was a tonsil operation?
@@allensherrill850 i'm almost sure he knew that, but i'm equally sure he knows that barbers, in the very old days, operated as chirurgical doctors too.
Thank you for another great video. I love seeing the Niagara Falls. It is so beautiful. Stay safe..
Thank you for mentioning going over the falls in a wooden barrel like the old days. It's amazing but I haven't heard anyone going over the falls in decades.
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." 🎶
@@taniajohnson9138 Ha, that's a funny song about it, thanks Tania.
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!
One of the best waterfall visits ever man, Amazing and Pleasant sight
I grew up in Lewiston NY (just north of Niagara Falls). YES!! By all means, you MUST visit Ft. Niagara! The "French Castle" is the oldest building between the Appalachian Mountains & the Mississippi River - how could you miss THAT?! Plus fabulous museum; re-enactments (if you time it right!)... AND haunted by a headless French solider... Yes! GO
As an American, who grew up in Queenston, I wholeheartedly agree, with the locations, that you chose. All of those would be fantastic videos by Jake.
I'm from there too!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful place with us.Ive never been there before . My little boy likes when you do the snowglobe and say rosebud. Keep up the amazing work. Love watching all your videos & live streams. Have a great & blessed week.
Oh Jacob You've got the Niagara Falls Madness. Its so Refreshing to go visit the Falls Hear its Loud Roar Feel its Power The Best thing is the Mist on your Face. I Love Living here at the Falls.
I Was Born here lived here All my Life.
Went to Valentine NB for Five months And Had to come back home I Was Homesick. I Would Again Never Leave this Place its Majestic.
Yes you Really Need to visit Fort Niagara next. They do Reenactments of the Civil war I went to one it Was Amazing. You're going to Love it but Prepare to walk my Friend.
I Just bought the new Pin No Scares on Stairs Pin.
So glad that you got to visit my Home town Beautiful Niagara Falls I💗 NY
Yeah Niagara falls is a natural wonder but my favorite part is that glorious old wax museum. A true unnatural wonder.
I was at Niagara Falls during the summer of 2019 just a year before the pandemic started so I was lucky to go there before that happened
We have a picture of us in what might be that barrel from 44 years ago. Thank you for the memories.
Thank you, I appreciate seeing sights I would never get to see otherwise.
Good video.
Why is it that so many wax museums have bad, unrecognisable exhibits ? They're like the artists just have an idea of what the person looks like rather than using photos 😂
"Rosebud" was quite prominent this time around. Made me chuckle lol.
i like wax museums.
Awesome Work Buddy, Thanks 👍👍😀 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
I lost it at the barrel selfie part. Thanks for the laughs!
I lived in Michigan growing up and been at the falls many times. They are so beautiful.
You take me to places I've never seen I love it
I’ll never not be bewildered by the falls
I will as well
Thanks Jacob!
I can tell I've been conditioned lol 😆 You were going through the snow globes & I actually got worried you weren't going to say it for a minute. I don't even know what rosebud is from, but it's essential anytime you come across as snow globe. it's very obvious your videos have made a big impact 😆😁👍
Thank you for sharing this- Niagara Falls, and especially Terrapin Point, hold a very special place in my heart. My husband and I renewed our vows on our 20th anniversary on 7/7/2013 on Terrapin Point. This made my day and made me smile!
Thank You So Very Much
For Interesting Information Video
Yes I Love What I See And Hear
I Look Forward To Next Video
You should definitely take a trip to Old Fort Niagara. It is definitely a cool place to visit.
Hi Jacob ! I can see the rainbow 2:56 above the waterfall! 7:15 A Strong shower down there! 30:15 Barrel scene, i laughed hard!
Love museums 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊
Thank Carpetbagger
Hey. It takes a lot to make me laugh sometimes, but that "JFK, who famously removed Abraham Lincoln tonsils” line cracked me up. And I’m at work. Thank youn Mr. Bagger
Lessons from the famous and infamous in that museum. Such an amazing place there I'd love to see Niagara Falls someday face to face! You do know that tonsorial work means barber work, not having your tonsils out, right?? 😂
Yeah I think he was joking, like saying 1957 for a visit from Lincoln was a slip
@@bradmad8346 we can hope
@Brad Mad That struck me as odd too... I bet Lincoln would be driving a '57 Cadillac if that were the case! Or a Lincoln...
Nice Falls ...👍
back in December a lady try to go over the falls in a car she died in the cold water. the coast guard had to pull her body out with the helicopter. with the help of the wind storm and the help of the power plant they open the intakes to have more water go over the falls, car flipped over the next day and that night. the car went over the falls. i live here my whole life and know so much about the falls and the area.
Abe looks like he is ready to head-butt the glass and make escape :D
Beautiful on my bucket list
Wonderful commentary😁
LOVE Niagara Falls!!!!!!!! Been there many times,seen them completely frozen on a New Years Day with only one other couple present. Ethereal to the extreme. Maid on the Mist is the ultimate boat ride,in my opinion! 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Another great video. Thanks 😊
Nice fashion statement with the barrel .
So beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for more than one laugh . The Falls are really beautiful. Have seen both sides . Lincon must have been pretty ol when he had Kennedy take his tonsils out. LOL Great job . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
So peaceful at Niagara Falls; hot 🥵 summer can be a refreshing waterfall
NIAGARA FALLS! Slooooooowleeeeeee I turrrrrrrned. Step by step. Inch by inch...
I got a snowglobe when I went to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls as a kid
We went to the US side a few years ago when we were visiting my brother in central NY and went on the maid of the myst. It was so neat to see.
I had my photo taken in that barrel many ,, many years ago !!
Cool Places
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.
Thank you for showing the American side, I was born in Buffalo N.Y very near the falls
You should have went to the Observation Tower. $1.50 gets you on the Observation deck and an elevator ride down to the gorge and walk by the American Falls. Great views. Another great video!
11:34 that’s our local business with the scooters on the right! I was the guy in the orange shirt who came up to ask if you were a RUclipsr outside the wax museum. It was great to meet you!
i didn't even think that wax museum was stil open!
Two things to do in this area - Fort Niagara and the Lockport locks. You can take a boat tour through it. Considered the pivotal piece of completing the Erie Canal.
Jim and Pam!!!
Never been to either side but sure looks refreshing.
So glad you captured a visit to Niagara Falls NY.
Brought memories back. I miss living so close to the falls but not the snowy weather, brr.
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.
Waving hi from Malone!!!
Yeah you should go to fort Niagara. I always enjoy your trips and showing your videos about the places. My bucket list is to see all the states and thanks to your video I have added to it.
Also visit the Niagara power vista, herschell carousel factory museum, the iron island museum, erie county historical museum. There is also a brain museum on UB's campus.
Another awsome video man.
I know it's not common knowledge anymore but the term "tonsorial" relates to hairdressing.
I worked there for several years. Always nice to visit, the city, not so great.
Nice video. Of course, we know, you know that tonsorial means pertaining to hair cutting.
Next time you're in Illinois you should check out the First Division Museum at Cantigny in Wheaton Illinois. I wonder if they still have the World War I trenches with the sandbags and the battle scenes
The wax museum is creepy, but interesting. Tiny purses 19:10 Back in the day we little girls would put our few coins in those to spend at the nickel & dime store. Ladies carried coin purses too, because a whole lot of prices were below $1.00 And why not -- I looked up 'Tonsorial' - 21:15 a fancy word that describes the work of those who give shaves and haircuts.
Thank you your always amazing
Yes do old fort Niagara!
Standing under the falls. The falls look so powerful. Wouldn't that hurt? Turned out to be a really nice day. Enjoyed seeing the falls.
Perfect summer place
I've been to the cave of the winds. It was fabulous.
The tiny purses are change purses.
JFK was a man of many talents it seems. I'm glad he helped Lincoln. What a trooper.
I must've missed the Mother Teresa memo... didn't know she fell from grace...
Me too on missing the memo. Julia Roberts shouldn’t be in this museum as well. They should maybe do their homework.
I’m from buffalo ny .its awesome you can up north to visit
I realize that I am revealing my age here but am I the only one who always thinks of the scene in Superman where Clark Kent and Lois Lane are celebrating their Honeymoon at Niagara Falls? That scene where the kid is playing on the railing edge and has to be saved?? Lol, my favorite movies when I was a kid!😂
After visiting cave of the winds today I can say I indeed did get a little soggy
We were there a few months ago it was fun
If your heading out to Missouri once I suggest you going to the Joplin 44 Petro great store they got a entire wall of pins where you can get one well of course I got a Goodyear blimp it’s awesome so check it out!
The Simpson- s30 ep21 has the best upstate NY song
Rosebud.😂😂😂😂❤️
Your so close to me! I just live a few minutes away from where you are north Tonawanda!
whenever you near Boston you should check out the museum of science there they have a lot of great taxidermy
Maid of the mist is on the Canadian side !!!
NIAGARA FALLS! Slowly I turned and step by step, inch by inch...
I've never been to the New York side either. Thanks for sharing.
I have been to Niagara Falls
I went to Niagara Falls and, the Maid of Mist got canceled because it was raining 🌧. I'm what difference does it make, your going to get wet anyway. The falls are actually on the US side but, you have to go to Canada to see them.
