You always do such a great job of reminding us about our roots and the parts of this country that built America and were largely responsible for the Democracy and freedoms that we enjoy today. The industrial Northeast has seen a lot of decay, but it was this region that made America great more than any other part of the U.S.A.!
1 thank you. I love exploring the places I use to read as a kid in my textbooks and sharing with everyone. We do tend to forget all the great history surrounded by our cities and I think tha'ts what drives me to keep going.
I went to New York City recently, and did a day trip to Paterson after seeing this video. The falls was beautiful and Paterson was an interesting place to explore. Also saw the former silk factories. Thank you for this video!
Great job highlighting our City of Paterson! We’re going to do a tour next weekend for my sons birthday! He’s more excited about the diversity of the FOOD than anything else! I love my hometown!
I am so disappointed I didn’t get a chance to get food in this video. I’ve made it a pitstop every-time I travel to NY to stop in Paterson. It’s such a great foodie town
It's nice to see Paterson looking good and prosperous. When I was a kid in the 1960's the Passaic River (just a half block from my home) was covered in fluorescent orange suds and all the plants on its banks were dead!
You are doing a superb job capturing the best of every town, city, state you visit. Paterson is my hometown and I have never seen such a great content as yours not only with my city, but your overall work. Keep up the great adventures, we are thrilled to see your journey. God bless.
José, great job! I’m still watching your videos. They’re getting better and better. Keep up the good work. I wouldn’t be surprised if PBS called you soon.
I lived there from 13 to 21, knowing some pretty good English when I emigrated with my parents, I was very surprised to find I didn't always have to use it, as there were many other people from South/Latin America, specially Peruvian people. Nonetheless, I still became truly fluent in English around 15.
Wao, I never knew Paterson has so many beautiful things, and so much history, from the water falls to the mansions and the great views. all I ever heard about this city was negative, lets push the positive and invite people over to discover the history inside. Thank you so much for this amazing video.
I took a brief pic of that factory by the waterfall which I believe might’ve been a silk factory. I couldn’t find the old silk factories or the gun mill. I think the remains are abandoned by the falls
Thanks for the memories of my childhood..I often went to lambert castle with my friends to hangout.. we used to slide down the Batman poles on the front face of the mountain just underneath the tower. The view is awesome
Paterson also used to manufacture train cars. If you look at the entryways to many of the buildings across from the silk buildings you’ll notice they were once large enough to move the cars through. Great architecture. Also, it’s the home of Lou Costello from Abbott and Costello. He’s featured in the museum across from the falls.
Thanks for showcasing one of our Garden State's hidden gems!This is proof that history is at your doorstep. I've been to many of your sites numerous times. I especially love the naval history at the Paterson Museum.
Thanks Jose, for an insight into the city that I never had when I lived there. That was when Route 80, now hugging the side of the mountain, was but a railroad track heading toward Boonton. It was a nice walk down memory lane.
That would be fantastic. Niagara Falls has the lights and it changes the whole landmark. I bet they would gain a lot more visitors if making these changes
Is that a pirate at 8:11? Also, thanks for covering the history of Paterson. I live near by and has always been fascinated by the rich history. It's sad most of the country do not know how important and how impactful Paterson was to the history of the world. Its a shame what state it's in now, it's so run down and there's so much crime. I wish they would bring back manufacturing and pump money into restoring Paterson.
Yup he was dressed like a pirate which was very humorous. Yeah its a shame whats happen to Paterson and a lot of these cities. The history is pretty much being forgotten and media has done such a poor job in reminding us of the importance of these places. I walked into York, PA’s history museum which talks about the being the US Capital and writing the articles of confederation and I was the only person there the majority of the day. It’s almost the same story across a lot of America anymore.
@@JoseOnTour yeah its really sad man. Theres no appreciation for history anymore. I drive a truck in NJ/NYC and it's awesome because it's a constant tour of history everyday, so many moments to just look at things and find out their stories. You should check out doing a series on the old abandoned railroads of NJ/NY/PA, there's so much cool stuff and especially abandoned old industry things. If you're ever back in Paterson you gotta check out some of the old mansions there in East Side Park, gilded age mansions are incredibly interesting. Awesome channel tho man, glad I came across this. Your videos are gonna occupy some time for me in the truck(listening not watching of course😂)
@joseontour hinchcliff stadium right there at the falls was finally renovated it’s beautiful they are having a grand opening ceremony tomorrow at 11am to 1pm and ribbon cutting and at 6pm performances from artists that grow up in Paterson and baseball game the new stadium is the new home for the jackals now and games on Saturday also check it out this is historic and they have new parking garage huge space it’s and a museum that will be available soon of history of the stadium
@@JoseOnTourif you come do it around after September 2023 that’s when the new museum will open to show the history of the stadium and baseball history and other sports that happened there hopefully the new bridge to the falls will be opened also

Well have to name a piece of South Paterson west Paterson so we didn't lose nothing to you
went to the falls today it was incredible...like seeing niagra falls more people need to know about this hidden gem
It’s a wonderful experience. It fascinates me how its right in the middle of a city.
I went to New York City recently, and did a day trip to Paterson after seeing this video. The falls was beautiful and Paterson was an interesting place to explore. Also saw the former silk factories. Thank you for this video!
I am glad you made it to the silk factories. I really wanted to visit those but were closed when I filmed the video.
Great job highlighting our City of Paterson! We’re going to do a tour next weekend for my sons birthday! He’s more excited about the diversity of the FOOD than anything else! I love my hometown!
I am so disappointed I didn’t get a chance to get food in this video. I’ve made it a pitstop every-time I travel to NY to stop in Paterson. It’s such a great foodie town
This is an excellent, honest, and positive description of the town I grew up in and call home. Thank you for your exceptional work.
It's nice to see Paterson looking good and prosperous. When I was a kid in the 1960's the Passaic River (just a half block from my home) was covered in fluorescent orange suds and all the plants on its banks were dead!
I would've loved to see it in those days. It had a rough couple of years but I think the city is doing a better job in maintaining it now
You are doing a superb job capturing the best of every town, city, state you visit. Paterson is my hometown and I have never seen such a great content as yours not only with my city, but your overall work. Keep up the great adventures, we are thrilled to see your journey. God bless.

You are so underrated! Keep up the good work it's amazing!

Thank you for the kind words. A lot of videos just focus on the bad of cities to get clicks. I love to focus on the better parts of a city's history.
I was one of the first residents in the rehabbed silk mills apartments on a Van Houten Street. Beautiful loft apartment. Great memories.
Any silk factory museums in the area?
I took a brief pic of that factory by the waterfall which I believe might’ve been a silk factory. I couldn’t find the old silk factories or the gun mill. I think the remains are abandoned by the falls
Good presentation of my city
Thank you for the feedback

My birthplace in 1966! Lived in NC ever since.

Thank you , me and my family are from there . Thanks for doing this my brother 👍🙏🏻✝️
Thank you for the support.
Bore and rasie their my favorite place was the falls ty for sharing
Thank you. The falls is such a nice part of the city
Great video. My grandfather was valet to Mr. Givernaud of the Givernaud Silk Mills.
thank you appreciate the feedback. I would've loved to see and film the Silk Mills. Researching the mills is what started my adventure into Patterson
I LOVED THIS VIDEO❤ HISTORY OF MY CITY THAT I DIDNT NOE
Thank you so much for the positive feedback
thank you so much for doing your video on the history of paterson nj
Thank you
Awesome video and presentation about Paterson and the Falls, I visit the falls a few weeks ago, and was really impressed by it.
Thank you Manny, appreciate the great feedback. I've also enjoyed a lot of your work and bringing relatively unknown areas to life.
Great work! Keep going! Very entertaining and awesome quality content!
Thank You Angel
Great video I love local and US History thanks for the video
Thanks for showcasing one of our Garden State's hidden gems!This is proof that history is at your doorstep. I've been to many of your sites numerous times. I especially love the naval history at the Paterson Museum.
Can’t wait to see more!
Thanks Jose, for an insight into the city that I never had when I lived there. That was when Route 80, now hugging the side of the mountain, was but a railroad track heading toward Boonton. It was a nice walk down memory lane.
Very Interesting and we can see you did a lot of research for this video. Great job !
...the falls are even more spectacular after heavy rains
Many times sitting there with a cappuccino from the Roma Club and a Cuban cigar. Great memories.
My hometown has a lot of history, love my Paterson NJ. Thanks for the tour and history. ❤
Just admired the quality of your work! 💪
Thank you Julia
the clips from 7:40 to 10:15 look kind of like West New York and Union City Bergenline Ave also great video.
Great job!
I’m digging the variation of the intro , nice mixup! Takes a lot of skill to make New Jersey sound interesting so kudos lol
New Jersey is interesting. And quite beautiful. People are always inundated with just the negative images. That really gets old.
Great content, as always. I often visited Washington's Headquarters as a kid - great fun to see it again. Keep up the great work, Jose!
I would love to come back when its open. Washington has left such a trail across the east coast and little by little I've been tracing his steps.
Went there last week you could see the whole waterfalls at mary Ellen state park
Brilliant video! Grew up next town over; Thanks for this!!
Thank you for the feedback
Thank you.
I grew up in Paterson. ❤
@joseontour you need your own show 😊
I just wish they had big lights at night to light up the waterfall
That would be fantastic. Niagara Falls has the lights and it changes the whole landmark. I bet they would gain a lot more visitors if making these changes
Love your videos man! Keep up the great work, so informative!
🙏 thank you
Nice job bringing back memories thanx
Thank you for stopping by
My City since birth 1973❤
My hometown.
GREAT JOB!!!

Cool
Well done Jose! I grew up and have lived in an adjacent town for over 40 years. You are spot on with your presentation of Paterson's history!
My dad put that engine 299 back their when it came back from Korea

I’m going to stop by and check it out. I wanted to have it in the video when i first filmed it but back then it wasn’t in the best shape
@@JoseOnTourif you come do it around after September 2023 that’s when the new museum will open to show the history of the stadium and baseball history and other sports that happened there hopefully the new bridge to the falls will be opened also
We the people of the united states of America have decided to join together to fight against government tyreny

Every stone in it i know
You take your life in your hands in Paterson..........................................................................
SO much information in such a short video. So enjoyable!
4:47 that bridge is now closed for renovation.
Where is the GW headquarters museum?
My family come from this place till they left in 1960s and 70s due to the urban blight. Even now it’s a bit scary to go there.
This winter the ranger going to close the bridge that the downtown factory worker use to get to work does that register
Thats a shame, is it going to close permanently or maybe just to remodel?
You don't pronounce the "ic" in Passaic! I haven't seen the video and thank you for doing it.
Yo Broadway pizza is bussin
This is niccce
Thank you
How hard to find a parking
there is ample parking on both sides of the waterfalls. I went early in the morning but later in the day the parking was filled with cars

That's a train silk gun Air plane submarine diving Bell let's ask Washington St old city hall to bring back glory days
Hinchcliffe stadium next door is recently renovated.
I can't wait to revisit. When I first filmed this the stadium had seen better days
Give it a couple years hinchcliffe will be back to ruins!! Animals will be animals!
Talking about that’s why you love coming to Paterson for the icy’s 🙄

Don't forget the dangerous slums.

Very good video but you need to learn how to pronounce the names of the cities like Totowa, and in another video, Bayonne. Just ask a resident.
Plains train and auto mobiles are what they are we can rebuild the $6 billion dollar Man
It's crime ridden!!!!! Like scary af
Thank you so much for this nice tour
