Most people in manistee wished they would have scrapped it when scrap prices were high… nothing but an eyesore…👎🏻🤷‍♂️👎🏻

Outstanding video! I am learning so much from you folks. I actually grew up in the Great Black Swamp and was hired by USDA to help keep it well drained. We live not far in Montcalm County now. Farm in Edmore area.

Great video.

It was the Democratic Republican Party but they dropped the word democratic in their name I don't know why.

As a Jacksonian, Michigander, I love this!!

I love watching you guys! You should have a TV show ❤ Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄❤

Well done.

You guys all too do sturgis lots of history here..

This is what I love about my home town.

Jackson Prison has been known as The Big House for generations. When Keith Jackson, the late college football announcer, was calling a game in Ann Arbor, he referred to the stadium as " the big house". The name stuck. I still snicker to myself when I hear it. The name stolen from the worlds largest walled prison.

Another gem. Thanks.

Well done. Cogent and well delivered on both parts. I am Canadian so you provided me education on a part of the world I love. Interesting history.

That was a nice video of my hometown,next time visit Ella sharp , planetarium and a lot of people did not know about the Ritz cracker,that was 1 st made in Jackson under the name Jaxon cracker

I witnessed the tornado from home a block away. My parents were at work. Mom worked in a downtown office, 2 buildings away from Gilmores department store where an exterior wall collapsed. It's shown in the video . Certainly a day I've never forgotten.

I love this. It made my day. Merry Christmas!

I have ate there for about 60 years.

I stopped there once and had a very different take. It was a Sunday and it was raining. I was in a motorcycle and quickly found everything downtown is closed on Sunday. Was seeking shelter under an awning and we were approached by an old women who appeared to be on hallucinogens or had used too many in the past. The showed us her ass tattoo within a minute and then proceeded to proposition us for sex. Once we got her to leave us alone there was literally a group of juggalos walking down the street shouting obscene shit. Rain or not we decided to GTFO and ended up stick in Kalamazoo and slept in hooters parking lot.

Someone got killed in a civil war reenactment? Why were they using live ammo

I just watched Black Robe last night. I always wondered if Saint Maria among the Hurons was the basis for the place that they went to in the movie.

I loved the tv show "Adventures in Paradise" .

It was the perfect place to grow up! Thank you for the small glimpse of this great town, the original Motor City. Merry Christmas from Jackson County, Michigan!

thats where i live

Awesome! Love it! I grew up in a small town of Concord and Pulaski michigan, just west of jackson and Spring Arbor off M60!

I was hoping you would cover the train station. When I was stationed at Great Lakes Navel Station, I would ride the train home most weekends.

Merry Christmas, thanks for the present❤

Thanks for visiting my hometown and showing it in a great light!

Thanks for this one, I always enjoy spending time watching your videos. Merry Christmas!

I heard somewhere that lighthouses had different colored lights for all the different lakes. So they could know what lake they were on. I've never been to verify that.

What a great episode! I grew up in Battle Creek, just 42 miles away, but never knew much about Jackson. Please do an episode on Battle Creek, there’s a lot of history there too. It’s not all about Kellogg and Post, although those stories are great.

My father was considered an Enemy Alien, grew up in western Wayne county. He was a carpenter and worked on several government projects including the Romulus camp and the Fort Custer camp. One camp had older more mature prisoners while the other had younger kids. My great aunt would get on a train in Detroit and travel to Virginia to visit cousins that were being held there. My father turned 100 this past June, became a citizen in 1945 when he turned 21.

The city of eau Claire has a street called plank road.

Merry Christmas Restless Vikings! Your story telling and history of each adventure is spectacular.

Watching you from Wake Island now. You're making me miss the weather up there! This is a super neat island with its history....but it's HOT year-round.

Thanks for continuing my education of our state. Good stuff and Merry Christmas to all.

O my GOD, I never new, my father was born on Walloon Lake, he knew Ernest Hemingway. I think the time was the same time.Great stuff!

It’s on my list go to list with all the other places you have journeyed to. I’m surprised you didn’t visit the Parlour for a Dare to be Great ice cream desert. I imagine you and Poppins are saving that for a warm summer evening.

Great story! I can always count on the Restless Viking for a history lesson. Entertaining and informative as usual! Thank you for sharing!

CANDY BARS!!!

Right after prohibition my grandfather, Bill Honer, founded Honer Brewing in Battle Creek. The building is long gone but Michigan's rich history of small breweries includes Honer Beer memorabilia. Thank you for highlighting Battle Creek.

Love the way you guys tell these stories. Merry Christmas to you.

Cony dogs are shit. You should talk about chili dogs which did originated in Michigan.

Curt’s call sign was of course………Hot Dog?

👍

Thanks for covering my home town. Another interesting business is Castlers Hardware on, er, Jackson Street. You were across the street in one view. It's totally old school, and it seems the only hardware they don't carry is landing gear for the space shuttles (not really). Jackson is a small city, just the right size.

Great tour, never knew there was so much to see. Merry Christmas to you too.🎄🎄🎄🎄

Thanks y'all for doing a nice and very informative video on my hometown. Happy Holidays to everyone. Brian from Colorado 🤠

Lived my teens and 20s in Jackson. Moved out around 2010, as did most the people I knew there that could afford to leave. Looks like its coming back a bit, but I'm still glad you didn't stray into the bad areas! The history is cool, but its still a big void when it comes to good jobs for well educated people.

Poppins I love your hat! Where can I get one for my wife???

Merry Christmas Chuck and Poppins. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. We are new to Michigan and very interested in its history.

I used to work in downtown Detroit and never knew any of this. I have walked exactly where you were filming. Too cool. 2 coney's w/mustard an' onions and a pop (Vernor's!), thank you. Now, let's head to the Michigan Welcome Center!
