The History They Didn’t Teach You in School
Before Buffalo was respectable, it was raucous. Before it was refined, it was rowdy. Step back 200 years to when the Canal District wasn’t boutiques and breweries—it was brothels, brawls, and bourbon. This adults-only adventure dives into the deliciously scandalous side of Buffalo’s past: the saloons that never closed, the ladies who worked the night, and the colorful characters who made Canal Street the wildest waterfront in the Northeast. History has never been this entertaining—or this honest.
