Ermigherd! Party hats on cameras is an option?!! BRB, I need to find my party hats and glue sticks
Seattle WA also has an underground Seattle. Everette WA is Boeing’s biggest plant and at one time had its own weather.
So does Atlanta.

I live in Lake City, Minnesota. The town where Water Skiing was invented. It was all thanks to a gentleman named Ralph Samuelson.
Thank you Mr Samuelson. As a free child growing up in Alabama all we had were aluminum boats, fishing rods, water ski's and our imaginations. As a 50 yr old the dr asked about my broken arm. "Have you ever had a broken bone before?" 🙄 1 or 2. Ok 6. But I am having a great time✌
In the early days of Australia we turned small time criminals into police now the police academy turns good people into great criminals. Rodger Rodgerson for first example

They have tours of the tunnels underneath Old Sacramento.
And we have palm trees too.
Let’s go! LIST 25 back at it!
Interesting video as always, Mike!
Utrecht trying to be Glagow with their wee hats 😂, we put cones on statues 😊
I taught 15 yr olds about Trig, Geo, and Calculus. So I put cones on the kids. - JK, don't come for me.
I lived about an hour south from L.A. most of my life and have never heard about the palm trees or that fact that more were planted for the Olympics
You could not pay me enough to get on a subway in Tokyo rush hour. Honest to God, I would rather walk or wait
The 34th Infantry Division, also known as the Red Bulls, was one of the first US units to see action in World War II. The division's involvement in the war included:
North Africa My dad was in the 34th. I have the Red Bull patch from his uniform. Mike, no criticism about your comments. I love list 25 and believe you like history. Thought you might find this interesting.
Thank you to the whole family for the service and sacrifice.🌟
FUN FACT: There's an actual train station in Melbourne named Batman 😁
Cool! There's a Melbourne in Florida, loaded with all the things you find in NSW...roller coasters, gators, deadly snakes...
I now have an earworm, the 1960s Batman TV series. 😁
@@alwaysflushinpublic Melbourne is in Victoria. Sydney is in NSW

The men might as well turn side ways to use the walls for a toilet, maybe they won't get sprayed back with their own pee.
As a teen 2 friends and I took off to find New Orleans' famous French Quarter. We turned down a dark road and found 4 naked men making wall art at which point we screamed "FOUND IT"

People from all over the U.S. send their Valentines through my little home city of Loveland, CO to get the yearly stamp.
Absolutely LOVE to listen to you pronounce places/peoples names of the world. Do you need to practice a lot, or does it just come naturally? ❤
Both! LoL depending on the word
@list25 - Give me a few weeks, and my accent will sound just like the locals.
Awesome 🤩 these cities have amazing history and culture ❤
Downtown's "underground" is a system of tunnels 20 feet below Houston's Downtown streets and more than six miles long. Starting in the 1930s as a tunnel between two movie theaters, today Downtown's subterranean network connects 95 city blocks and has weekday workday food, shops and services.
I played baseball with a pair of Batman brothers.
love the shirt !!
Los Angeles isn't the only place with imported palm trees. You can find them in parks in Cornwall and other parts of South West England too.
That Poland thinnest house.
You mean every single apartment in NYC?
Are you talking about Burger Chef? God I'd love for that place to come back.
Plus, keep the Retro look to the joint.
Good job pronouncing Utrecht, Mike! Dutch is a tricky language.
The longest escalator in the Western hemisphere is in my town-Wheaton, Maryland.
Hey Mike, just checking in to see if you care that Florida is just one win away from the Stanley Cup, or if (as a Lightning fan) you’re cheering for an Edmonton Oilers comeback?
There’s a whole city underneath seattle
Apparently no one can tell the French what to do ... surprised not .
Billings, Montana has many intersections without stop signs, too!
That's Finland of my list of places to go.
In Portland, Maine, the location of the old plague house became a meat processing plant. Yum!
With the hydrophobic walls, if you pee at an angle....then you wont get any splash lol
Just turning maybe 45⁰ and that solves the splash back issue

As all 8 yr olds in Georgia know, Gen Sherman burned a big boy path from a corner, through Atlanta, down to Savannah. As all 12 yr olds know he found lovely cocktails to cool his brow, and women willing to convince him why he should spare the town. What no one knows is that Gen Sherman's direct descendent was born, raised and still lives...in Atlanta. OK, so he knows, his wife know, his sister knows....and that's about it.🙀😹😼And his cats Abe, Lincoln, Carter (who has liver complaints) and Tallulah Bankhead who was confused about gender for a while but they finally figured themself out.🐊🐊

Even when there are stop signs people still dont pay attention to them
10:04 bless you

Number two explains a lot about the current state of Australian police force's !
Old Sacramento is far better than newer Sacramento, which sucks (says former resident.)
Manatees! That's My city's claim to fame.
They are from there, they came from there, or is it a sports team? Better manatees than hippos I would think.
1:36 If only Paris Did have stop signs, Princess Diana would still be with us.
Sadly. But more importantly, her driver was drunk and no one in the car was wearing a seat belt.
N07 Did you miss your stop in Tokyo? or was the crush the reason you lost weight. 😅
