Hearted Youtube comments on IT'S HISTORY (@ITSHISTORY) channel.

  1. As a point of accuracy, the view near the end of the video is of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), not the University of Chicago (UC). UC has a much more picturesque gothic campus, as opposed the to famously brutalist campus of UIC. Thanks for posting this visit to LSD!

  2. Ah, the Igloo. Such fun times there. Student rush was the best! I wish they could have kept it standing in some capacity. Maybe similar to Stage AE for an outdoor event center.

  3. Better to serve the country as target practice than end up in the breakers yard. We still have the USS TEXAS. Thanks to Ryan for posting.

  4. Awesome video. Being born and raised here in NYC, I never knew the tunnel was named after and that original name as well. I love learning NYC’s history. NYC is so far deep in history that it will take a lifetime to uncover.

  5. Great video! I used to drive regularly from my office in Cerritos to my customer at Edwards Air Force Base near Palmdale. I would either have to go around the 14 to the 395 or go up the 15 to 138 to the south entrance. My mom had taught fourth grade in the late 1960's and still had a California geography textbook, with a freeway map of Southern California. That book had the 39 freeway going from Huntington Beach all the way to Palmdale. Of course, it also had the 2 freeway going straight through Beverly Hills, which was also canned.

  6. You gotta do the Louisiana Purchase Expedition (1904 Worlds Fair) that was held in St Louis soon! :)

  7. Ryan, thank you for the history lesson about the "ATSF'! Great history there. That railroad was a real trailblazer.

  8. The Pedway, those underground rail tunnels, the 3rd sub-level of Wacker Drive. This guy shows the most interesting and barely known things in the city.

  9. This reminds me of that Tartaria/Mudflood theory! 🤯🤯 Great video as always! Keep it up 🔥

  10. Yes, big mistake in this video. I had just left the twin cities and was delivering a load of tires to the Sears store in Duluth, MN when the news broke that the bridge had collapsed. I did the same run every week so I know for a fact it was on a Wednesday.

  11. Great video, but you are mistaken on one fact. The girls did not make anywhere close to 40k a year. They were paid 1.5 cents per watch. If they painted 55k dials a year as you said, that would mean $825 a year - equal to about 20k a year in today's dollars.

  12. WOW! Glad to see that we are reusing and appreciating our great Historical Infrastructure👍

  13. I love the railway videos in particular, but almost all have been entertaining and informative pieces. Pictures of the culverts, bridges, and berm would have been a good visual aid,.if available.

  14. Hey Ryan, love your show! Maybe do an episode on the pyramid in Gurnee, IL. It's pretty cool and I think people would enjoy the site.

  15. A 27' drought?

  16. I am reminded of a story about not building a castle on sand?

  17. “The brutalist architecture then popular in Europe.” Here in Toronto, Canada, home to the Robarts Library at the University of Toronto (just to name one), this statement makes us feel rather left out.

  18. I did a Pittsburgh transportation project for 8th grade english, and the Sky Bus was my favorite part. Love talking about this beautiful and flawed mode of transport. Great video, as always!

  19. I’ve been to the beaches there many times. My father used to take us there when I was little. You could get a pass to enter the base to go to the beaches.

  20. I got stuck on 94 just before the bridge going south in a semi. There was a little s10 blocking one of the lanes just at the split to top side. It took 4- 5 hours to go 2 miles. It absolutely sucked. 😅

  21. Ryan, the old B&W image, drawings and great drone work really help to tell a full story. Thanks to all; Ryan Socash, Dr. Hubert, Kamil Krawiec and Dave Daddario for their time and work.

  22. Ryan, thank you for sharing this story. Even though it's heartbreaking, we must not forget the past. The same with 9/11. Some of my coworkers are half my age and weren't even born then. They need to learn about what happened, and so do people 100 years from now.

  23. Interesting video and new format. I'am guessing there are hundreds of abandoned mansions and Manor houses all over Europe that you could document. Really enjoyed the video, Cheers from Hamilton, Ontario.

  25. Thanks for this video. We used to visit Capitola back when I lived in CA back in the '80s.

  26. Took a friend to visit family in Herford. We called them from Bisbee, told them we were in the area. He said I'll watch you come. He actually could watch the headlights from Bisbee to Herford.

  27. I wanna cry every time I think about this loss and it was long gone before I moved here. You've included photos I've never seen before, thank you!

  28. These aren't that big of a deal. Yes there's risk, but the same as when building them

  29. It's good to see this video.I enjoy local history. My parents moved to Long Island after World War 2. My father served with the 3rd.Infantry and as was the case with other relatives, they moved from the city to Long Island. I don't see many local history videos, and yet Long Island has a very interesting history. Thanks for posting this.

  30. I love this tunnel! Being a Michigander, when going to Canada or visiting relatives on the East Coast, it was the most exciting part of the trip as a kid. Plus, heights are scary, so I would beg not to go across the Ambassador Bridge 😆

  31. 🎶 I got 99 towers but a clock ain't one... 🎶 😂 sorry, couldn't help myself.

  32. Might not have worked well, but boy, it looked fantastic.

  33. I don't know if you knew this Ryan but those Metra trains were based in Joliet and were on the former Rock Island line. The service went threw off of the southwest suburbs. I took it from Joliet to Downtown in my first solo trip into the City when I was 13 and many times more afterwards. I loved those double decker cars and durning the week they were always packed with commuters going to and fro . It used to cost 1.00 for a ride and you better have had your ticket for the Conductor to punch or they'd make you buy another. Those were fun days. Always wondered what happened to them because there were a lot of them.

  34. Dude... I have been down here over 20 years now. Atlanta is a dump and extremely sketchy, I go downtown less and less due to the crime. Love the video though because I love It's History.

  35. That last case makes perfect sense: she did kill him. So it's only fair she gets tried.
    17
  36. Thank you for this very interesting video.
    17
  37. I visited when I was a kid. If this is done by 2037 I'll have to buy a hat and eat it. I'm 41 now. I don't see this done in my children's lifetime.

  38. My wife and I visited Ellis Island and went on a super rare Hard Hat Tour. Got to travel through the side of the island that nobody gets to see. We got to photograph the morgue, doctors residence, rooms sick patience stayed in, and more. If anyone is interested in this I would highly suggest it. Its History, if you want some really cool photos for future videos, let me know.

  39. Ryan, I've been watching your Channel for quite some time. I finally decided to Google you.☺ You seem to have such a interesting back story with you living in Poland for that amount of time and having a Radio Show. I'm Subscribed to over 60 Channels & I got to say your Channel is my favorite! Keep it up Ryan, you are really on to something with the style & quality of your Content. Best Regards, Timothy ✌

  40. Maintenance, after a few years, would have been a nightmare after the steel gridwork started to rust out. At least traditional trains are supported by the ground, and derailments are generally easy to deal with. The railplane would fall out of the sky like.... a plane....

  41. Thanks for these videos. I've been following your videos for sometime now and I get a lot of info out of them that I would never have known otherwise, I enjoy history personally which is what drew me to this channel in the first place. You obviously put in a great deal of research to make these videos. Thank you I enjoy them.

  42. Am I the only one who feels that “Silver streak“ should have been given an honorable mention? Cool video! Great pictures!

  43. RIP to the lives lost....... Must say the new bridge looks so much better, hope is has a long life.

  44. It would amazing to see this monument completed in my lifetime. As far as the environmental impact goes…is it really that extreme? No one stopped Mount Rushmore when it was erected.
    17
  45. Not known? Ever see The Blues Brothers? Probably the most famous (maybe the only?) movie to be featured on Lower Wacker. It's a great connector between Lake Shore Drive and the Eisenhower Expressway. Used to take it all the time...
    17
  46. Most suburbanites are well aware of Wacker Drive!

  47. I’ve never been to Paris, but I want to go

  48. This is my 3rd video from you and just want to say thanks for your time I enjoy learning new things when bored. The way you put your videos together is enjoyable.

  49. Bisbee is definitely an anomaly for Arizona. It's a pretty surprising find because it's so unlike the rest of AZ towns and cities that are usually "young" in terms of most buildings not being older than the 1980s. First time I saw it I thought it was like an Italian village in the desert with the way buildings work their way up the mountain side. The narrow streets also help sell the European feel. Definitely an AZ secret though, up there with the communes turned artist towns.

  50. Note that time stamps seem to be off. keep up the great work!
