  2. When I first went to NYC from Sydney 30 years ago and went up the Empire State Building I noticed the bridge “hey, that looks like the Sydney Harbour Bridge!” Nice to learn about its history.

  3. Great coverage. I used to work in Underground Atlanta on its reopening in the late 80's. I managed an art gallery, Antiquities Historical Galleries. It was quite an experience. Happy to see it coming to life yet again.

  4. Well, We actually cause many of the sinkholes. Especially during low rain periods we pull more water from the aquifers then the ground collapses into the void. utilities usually pull from the deeper aquifers like the Floridian and most residential pulls from the shallower ones (Depending on the area, you could have up to five aquifers under you. Shifting slabs are becoming quite common with the recent development of marshy areas which were rejected in the past. I work with water utilities and have seen many developments that were clear cut and a layer of 6~12 inches of fill dirt layered over the water logged soil and next the streets and slabs go in. You go back 5 years later and all the wood frame stucco houses are cracked. Stair step cracks in brick houses are also quite common here and you have to have the slab Ram jacked to level it back out - for a while. Depressions in the roads are also common, but these are usually caused by a leak in the water main which is under the center of the road. The soil is mainly sand and (Hopefully) some amount of clay, but many houses are built on layers of almost 100% sugar sand and since the city planners main priority is property taxes, permits are usually no more that a formality. If your looking at a home and the seller wants you to sign a hold-harmless against foundation shifts do yourself a big favor and run away.

  6. Very well done! Snohomish County, just north of Seattle had its own timber products industry too! These mills burped out so much pollution that when driving north on Interstate 5, that someone in your car would ask, “was that you?!?”

  7. was just thinking that. pretty sure it was a weekday. my father had been on the bridge 5 minutes before it collapsed. realistically, he was probably one of that last people across the bridge

  9. What a beautiful art deco building; happy to see that it has survived the passage of time. The lavish materials used in construction would only have been possible pre-depression. Interesting that architects and engineers did not include fire protection. Maybe such expensive safety precautions are only affordable when required by building codes?

  11. Thanks! You’ve given me a great conversation starter for my 88-year-old mom. I was born in Chicago in 1956 but we moved away a year later. By the time we moved back in 1969, Riverview was history. Thanks for bringing it to life.

  14. I live not to far from Mystic Island and have been there several times but never knew of this tower or its history, that whole area of the state is full of historical things to see. When the weather warms up again we will take a motorcycle trip to the area. Thanks It's history.

  18. I have long admired and enjoyed the film The Imitation Game. I also knew the background story of the Benchley scientists (and their machines) was much more complex and nuanced. This was an excellent Video Blog.

  25. Hugely informative, thank you for doing this video. I am recently retired at the age of 60 and railroading is one of my favorite things to watch and learn about. Thank you again.

  26. I've used the Pedway many many times. Being that I don't drive and haven't for decades I would walk from Union Station to the IC, now Millennium station. While It didn't go all the way it covered enough that I could walk more than half the distance. I got to know it well and often ate there on my way.

  27. I grew up going to Coney Island, I lived a few miles away in Marine Park. When I was a kid the old Astroland was still open but you could see how old it was, I was excited when they opened the new Luna Park. Coney Island seems to be getting better from what I remembered when I lived there but I left New York 3 years ago

  30. Thanks for a great video! I lived in Pasadena in the 80's and 90's. I loved it there. I hiked into the mountains and saw some of the remains that are shown in this video. I had no idea how old they were, why they existed, and what a big deal the railroad was in its day. Smitty's Grill on Lake Street has many historical photos, including many of the photos shown in this video. Thanks again.

  31. I really enjoy your videos, thank you! 💜

  32. Nice. Thanks for your well-researched video. Maintenance costs near water are always expensive, especially for railways it seems. In Dawlish, England, there's a railway that follows the coast. After a 2014 storm caused a massive sea wall breach, the trackbed was completely washed out, leaving the rails to hang in midair. After £80 million, in 2022, a project to raise, reinforce, and improve the sea wall was completed.

  33. The funny part about the high line was thst by the time it was finished it already was obsolete. Freight traffic was already diminishing, being rapidly replaced by trucks.

  39. Mr. Socash, I love your stories. Hats off to your extensive research. I want to thank you for these videos. As a Marine veteran, these stories help keep history alive. I enjoy all your videos, not just the military videos. I'm always watching to see what you will research next.

  47. My father's parents came over on a coal collier in third class because that's all they could afford but they made it. My grandfather got a job on the D&H railroad in Howes Cave, NY.

  49. Before our family moved away in the late 70s, we would go there for brunch - the Mid-century version - and back then you could barter with the waiter for the price of your breakfast. What fun for a 7 year old! My Mom was a lifeguard at Fleishhscker Pool in the 50s when she was in HS - quarter mile long so they were in rowboats! My Dad loved going to Playland as a kid. Great video!
