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

  1. Well done Mr Socash as always your research on these topics makes them informative and done well. Thank you kindly for making these videos. 💯😎 Nice shades by the way

  2. There's also abandoned bunkers in Queens, NY. Fort Tilden, there are two.

  3. Yes! I've been asking for this for some time. Was there a whole bunch of times when I was a kid. You'd get a Hero's sub sandwich over at the place at Addison and Western, and you could walk to the entrance of the park. You could always get discount coupons at Walgreens. Got pretty grungy at the end of it's life, but it was always a fun place!

  4. I felt wrong liking this video

  7. You really should visit the Coney Island yard Transit museum, they keep a running collection of old trains.

  8. I am in awe of the old NY bridges each with their own design. I could tell which one they are. not like todays that all look the same.

  9. I love your videos. As a Chicagoan, I learned a lot. The faceless statue for example. Thanks!

  10. The sea is a harsh mistress.

  11. My dad was a mechanic there. Riverview was a lot less dangerous than some other parks. Lloyds of London and US Fidelity covered them for personal injuries, workman's comp and liability and the premium at the end was only about $1000,000 a year. Only 6 people died in 64 years of operation and only 2 were the park's fault. The cables broke on the Strat-o-stat and two people drowned when the plane flew into the river. The trains that collided in 1937 were on the Pippen, which later became the Silver Streak.

  12. I was 9 yrs old when the Arena opened. My last and most memorable visit was a Kansas concert in 1979. I never got to see it with the roof open. In the 1980's I moved to Los Angeles, where I enjoyed many concerts at the Universal Amphitheatre, which in the 1970's was open air, but was enclosed by the time I saw it. Great memories!

  13. Nicely done. I worked on the Silversides in '79-'81 while in NROTC at Illinois Tech. That was back when Navy Pier was still in it's industrial guise. We got the active sonar working, one ping only. So glad that this boat remains preserved. Well worth the trip to Muskegon to see her.

  14. Born and raised in Atlanta, I haven't been to Underground since I was a kid, and I hear it's not a great place to visit currently. Also, the peach drop doesn't happen anymore, they didn't do it 2020-2022, did it once more in 2023, and currently have no plans to reinstitute it. That said, there are plenty of other fun things to do in Atlanta, but I can't say I'd recommend Underground

  15. Excellent video, many thanks. The miles-long approach to the bridge (to minimize the slope) is equally impressive.

  16. I tried for years to get down there and i had access to some of these lower levers in the 90's. Never got in but i did see where some of the basements had connected to the tunnel. My last attempt was the IC train station at Randolph and Michigan. By the way, "highly Illegal" would have not stopped me from trying as it has not stopped people to this day. After the flood, most of the stores waterproofed there former tunnel entrances and made it impossible to get in. Still have the feeling that I would like to et down there.

  17. I've learned about some amazing stuff from your channel. That towers construction looks pretty solid, I wonder how long it will be standing.

  18. cool, a Malbork video :)

  19. As a child rode the Penn Reading Seashore train out of 30th station to Cape May NJ. As a kid seeing the Steam Engine close from the ground level tracks in Cape May was a sight to remember. Going to college and commuting from Wayne Pa to Phila lived through the transition from PRR -> PennCentral -> ConRail. In the late 1960's the deterioration of the PRR infrastructure was quite apparent. From the PRR commuter 'red cars' slowly falling apart to seeing the huge freight yards just west of 30th street station slowly disappear.

  20. My grandfather took my sister and I there several times as kids. She went only once and hated it, but I returned many times. We took the streetcars down North Avenue from Oak Park to Western and then got off at Belmont. That alone was an adventure. I was too young to ride the parachutes, but strangely, allowed to shoot the 22's at the shooting gallery. I can still smell the gun powder. The funhouse spinning floor discs and horizontal barrels were always challenging. When I think back at all that was allowed to do and experience, I can only think that just about everything fun there would be outlawed long ago. The memories of the place are indelible.

  21. Hey Ryan, I just wanted to let you know that you and one other YouTube history channel have actually figured out how to make history interesting for me! I graduated likely well before you were born, but if my high school history teachers would have presented their lessons the way both of you do, my grades would have been far better! I've been subscribed for quite a long time now, and I have enjoyed every episode so far! Thank you for the awesome content!

  22. It’s wonderful that someone posts historical stories and photos, so the experts can crawl out of the cracks and explain to the commoners about life.

  23. Thanks for this video. My Grandfather was a machinist who worked in the Domino sugar factory in the 1920- 60’s. His boss also allowed him to have a pigeon coop on the roof. This was my families origin story into the US.

  24. I've been there twice. Excellent place to visit. I promise you won't be disappointed. Go in the cooler parts of the year. And be ready to walk. And do the whole tour. His collections and the house. Well worth it.

  25. Ah hour ago I was actually thinking about you making a video on the flatiron

  26. A story that hits home, literally. I live five minutes away from here in Mystic. Lol
    12
  27. Thanks. Excellent telling of the story. Back when I lived in Brooklyn, my bike ride trips across the GW, and up RT.9W,including a tough climb to the top of the Palisades, was a trip!

  28. Love that part of the southern lake shore. Exploring the islands is a great time and educational.
    12
  29. Would love to visit this place... Been to Bodie in CA about this time 47 yrs ago.. very cool place...
    12
  30. Very cool. And it will capture his shadow!

  31. Mispronounced words whether intentional or not, I truly enjoy your stories Ryan and look forward to the next! 💙🙏🏼

  32. Good video. Interesting subject. Unfortunately it seems California is de-criminalizing everything. Thank you.
    12
  33. Great video Ryan. Thank you.

  34. Great vlog! Interesting story. One of Nicolay Fougner`s ships ran aground during a storm. The wreck is in sound between Budal and the island of Hudøy, close to Tjøme Norway. Our school had summer camp at Hudøy and on the boatride over you could see the wreck. I have not been there since 1990, so I do not know it the wreck is still above water.

  35. As always, thanks for bringing us this piece Ryan! Truly appreciated! God bless! ~ Scott 💙🙏🏼

  36. Early English settlers sure were obsessed with York. There is York (Now Toronto), New York and this Yorktown. Am I missing any? Like wow.
    12
  37. I remember watching a dvd about trains I bought about 20 years ago from the History Channel. I remember one old retired railroad worker saying that passenger trains always lost money. You simply couldn’t get enough passengers to make a profit.
    12
  38. That was fantastic thank you for making this.

  39. Why scrap the old girl? Turn her into a floating museum of the past history she played a role in.
    12
  40. Wow that’s funny, I just passed that block the other day for a job in tuckerton. Me and my friend were looking at each other like why is there a giant block in the middle of the street lol

  41. 10:30 "oggieVille" ???

  42. Ryan, There are two pieces of Texas architecture you missed that being the 622 ft tall Tower of the Americas built in 1967 to 68 for the !968 Hemisfair and the unique mode of construction that being of continuous concrete pour. Also the Hilton Palacio Del Rio hotel and it's use of modular concrete rooms.

  43. Excellent job as always!

  44. Another historic learning video love Art deco architecture, definition, and character better than today’s buildings. Keep up the good work.

  45. Honestly I still think that Nuclear Energy is still viable, if we build reactors to proper safety standards. and let's be honest the Nuclear reactors that were build during the cold war were designed and built that way so the Nuclear waste they made would be used to make nuclear weapons. And no  Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster doesn't count as no one in their right mind would build a Nuclear Reactor anywhere close to the coast.

  46. This is where I live! It's such a sweet little town now a days full of musical and creative people. Great video!

  47. Once again a stunning Video, thank you.

  48. Much larger scale but the Romans were using this type of building heating a long time before this castle was even a dream

  49. Born and raised on the Jersey Shore and when I hear Sandy Hook I mainly think about the beach as that was the main place for us to go in the 80s and 90s. I sadly didn't even know this history about it until now!

  50. Thanks Ryan... been driving around those concrete blocks for years.
