We just finished filming the next few episodes today so while we are in post-production editing the next country, Many of you requested this topic for filler week so here it is! PART 1 of the Largest cities PER STATE summarized! Birmingham Alabama to Kansas city Missouri. Enjoy!
Marceh Just because they want Barby to be over with dictatorial regimes sooner. They pity him and don't want him to await the time he's gonna have to cover them too much.
I live around Detroit, and I love it. The Urban decay is actually pretty cool, to look at. Its sort of post apocalyptic, centered around a pretty cool downtown, reminds me of fallout. And with the steady swarm of hipsters moving here, there's a lot more art, good food, and craft beer here. Good area for music and comedy too!
nothing sounds more privileged than being able to appreciate the "post apocalyptic" look of the urban decay you sound delusional and braindead. enjoy your craft beer dude
As a non-US viewer, please, complete this list. It's so great to actually get nuanced information about states and cities of the US, how it's not just all "american city", but instead local stereotypes and specialities. Love it!
three things to note about connecticut: 1) it has one of the largest income inqualities in the US. this means some of the richest postcodes in the country are right next to some of the poorest. 2) towns close to new york and along the coastline *tend* to be nicer (so southern CT) (bit of a generalization but y’know) 3) towns also tend to be nicer/wealthier than cities. so bridgeport is quite poor and depressing but it’s right next to the towns of fairfield county, which are very beautiful and wealthy.
Yes! Come visit! Although I must warn you some Americans in the south might not be kind enough than you think. Not anything dangerous or something, but, lets just say they wouldn't invite you to their wedding. But please, come visit!
Taussabes I agree, you here a lot of bad things about the USA because of Trump but now that I here him talk about these cities I would exually love to visit it!
The Atlanta airport is actually the busiest in the world, not just in America. Also, on another transportation note, according to a recent study, Atlanta has the 8th WORST traffic in the world. Being from here, I believe it. I-285, Atlanta's perimeter, is the worst.
@@zonaryorange8734 Atlanta has some really bad traffic, because of rapid growth that outpaces infrastructure construction. Also, he shouldn't use the hard "T". Its Atlana, not At-Lan-Ta.
Connecticut: literally the definition of wealth inequality. You got places like Greenwich which is like pretty much Gilmore girls and then places like Bridgeport,waterbury etc that are poor and crime ridden. Theres a town where jfk's nephew has a mansion and on the same street theres a bunch of mobile homes
Boo hoo! There's wealth inequality everywhere. San Francisco is now the most expensive city in the U.S. and yet I've never seen so many homeless people in my life.
Richard Schiffman I'm sorry to hear that. I mean the only reason I mention it is because Connecticut is really known for it. I can definitely see areas around san Francisco and l.a having a simalar situation though
Gwen Walcott I'm not saying other places in the world dont have massive income gaps. What I am saying is that Connecticut is consistently is reported as having the highest income inequality in comparison to the other 50 states and if you take a look at Connecticut you itd clear as day why they are #1 in this category.
I’m from Denver and I laughed so hard when he said the airport is in the middle of some corn field. 😂😂😂 it’s true DIA is about 40 minutes outside of Denver.
It will be like doing one with the capitals. Besides Liechtenstein or Turkey I can't remember an European country that doesn't have it's largest city as their capital.
I guess you could argue that the Milan metro area is larger than the Rome metro area, but there are 4 cities larger than Frankfurt in Germany (Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne).
I'm joking obviously. I'm an American, and I know there are many people who are horrible at Geography. It should go without saying it doesn't include everyone.
People think detroit is like mega dangerous which yeah it isn't the safest city in the world And I wouldn't wanna be out at night (walking or driving depending on the area) But unless you go to some dangerous part of the city you should be fine. Plus detroit has great pizza so you should go
@J.W. S.D Ya, it's usually associated with the south because of a hickish culture, but my dads from northern Florida, and a lot of southerners have this real separation and even distain for Texas. Eastern Texas around Louisiana and Arkansas is southern, but for the most part Texas is kind of it's own thing, maybe south-western, but that's kind of a stretch.
don't know why but this channel always feels like one of those channels which you always just assumed would be at 500k-ish subs eternally until one day you see a video titled "Thank you for one million subs" and then go 'wait, whaaaaaat!?"
As someone from Tucson, I can say even though I've never been to Phoenix, based off this, Tucson and Phoenix are very similar. Here in Tucson there are mountains surrounding the whole city, and you can see them at every corner. We also have lots of cactuses and we regularly drive through highways that wind up mountains and through valleys.
I live in New London County, Connecticut. A brief description of Bridgeport and our state in general is that certain parts of the state are very clean and rich and preppy, other parts are farm country, and other parts are industrial wastelands. Cities are generally very poor and underdeveloped and not maintained, while suburbs are kept well. Schools in public cities are failing while suburb schools are thriving. Any questions? AMA.
Only the city proper, most people who consider themselves to be from Miami live outside of the city proper, because practically every neighborhood is technically its own city in Miami, if it was organized like Jacksonville Miami would be many times bigger, any population count other than city proper has Miami as being bigger
Jacksonville is Florida's "largest city", yet only its 4th largest metropolitan area. In only its small developed section, Miami-Dade County alone has nearly twice the population of Jacksonville's entire metro. Jacksonville is among a handful of US cities that get its status solely from swallowing up hundreds and hundreds of square miles of land. Miami proper, on the other hand, is sitting on less than 36 square miles of land.
Hey Barbs! I love watching your vids! When you get to New Jersey, as I was born and raised in the state, Newark in summary is quite historic and diverse in people and culture with a predominantly Hispanic community. It's a cool place to visit as there is great food to try and there's Branch Brook Park, a park well known for having the well known Cherry Blossom trees.
Thank you for the Des Moines shoutout!! I've lived here for 13 years and will be sadly moving in August. I had the opportunity to live there during a time of rampant growth which has been awesome, I always say the city feels bigger than the population would suggest!
Sweden's first attempt at colonialism in the US is just about as forgettable as Delaware itself. As for Atlanta, that has the busiest airport in the world, not just the country.
That is correct. ATL (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport) had 103.9 million passengers in 2017. www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-09/new-york-s-jfk-booted-out-of-world-s-top-20-busiest-airports
Yep, but I’m disappointed that he didn’t go over the historic stuff since that’s really all Bridgeport has now: like the 1st Subway (restaurant), PT Barnum, and Gustav Whitehead where all from here If you want a CT city that actually feels like a city, go to Norwalk or Stamford
Tara KC it really depends on what I’m in the mood for. Gates is fantastic, but I also really love Jack Stack. And then of course’s there’s Joe’s KC. Now I’m hungry. Lol. 😂
Some facts about Boise, ID 1. It's BOY-see, not boy-ZEE (don't worry, no one pronounces it right outside of Idaho) 2. It's the fastest growing city in the country 3. It's centered around the Boise River, one of the cleanest rivers in an urban environment in the country 4. We have the largest Basque population in the United States (there's an entire Basque section of downtown Boise) 5. We're really nice people and many people visiting the city remark on how strange it is that everyone says hi to one another on the street even though there are 500,000 people in the Treasure Valley 6. No, we're not in Witness Protection (at least to my knowledge) 7. If I had to compared us to other cities it'd be a mix of Portland, SLC and Denver. We have a thriving (though small) progressive area of the city (the NorthEnd), are heavily influenced by the Mormon religion like SLC, and are an outdoorsman's dream like Denver (seriously, nowhere can compete with our combination of hiking, fishing, camping, rivers, foothills, forests, etc.) You should visit. Just keep it to yourself that you're from California. We're obnoxiously anti-California because many from the state are moving here and causing the cost of living to go up even though our wages aren't changing. Also, we're crazy conservatives (Boise is more moderate), so Cali politics are insane to most in the state. Just stay away from Canyon County.
The Boise metro area is basically all of everyone living in Utah summarized in about 500 square miles. Boise is like SLC+Provo-Ogden and Canyon County is basically Payson. Then Meridian is like all of the Salt Lake County cities that aren't SLC.
As an Alabamian that lives right outside of Birmingham, I’m offended you assume we all root for Alabama. The whole state is pretty much split evenly between Alabama and Auburn fans 😂. Great video nonetheless
I work in Baltimore and you were really accurate about the attractions. The neighborhoods are great and next time you come, check out inner harbor. Lots of good restaurants. Also, there is the National Aquarium. I wasn’t born or raised there, but I do feel like I belong. Looking forward to hearing your impression of NYC. I’m from NY, but I grew up on Long Island. Keep up the great videos. Really entertaining
You defiantly need to visit New Orleans/ Louisiana! I’ve lived here my whole life and we love visitors coming and being interested in our culture and history!⚜️💜💚💛
Yes, Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is the busiest airport in the U.S. However, it is also the busiest airport in the world, and has been for a number of years! Very cool
Even if the name change is widely adopted, the e- of eSwatini is kinda equivalent to the "The" in "The Gambia" so you could certainly still argue for alphabetising under "Sw". This is kinda also true of Lesotho, Burundi but the capitalisation scheme in siSwati emphasises the root as the primary thing (unlike that in Sesotho and Kirundi) so the alphabetising eSwatini under "Sw" is not that inconsistent with capitalising Lesotho under "Le" (rather than "So") or Burundi under "Bu" (rather than "Ru").
tristan roberts And El Salvador is always alphabetised under 'e' not 's'. Seems like as a general rule articles are only dropped when they're in English.
As a New Orleanean, we criiinnngggeeee when people say New Orleeeeens (like you did) or Nawlins - because that's not how we say it. New Or-lunhs is jussstttt fine. Back to the show... *hugs*
Good question. That would depend on where you live in Louisiana as even in South Louisiana each town has its own dialect, remarkably. And the North speaks much differently from that South, even though it's a small state. However, NONE of those pronunciations include New Orleeeeens or Nawlins :)
Denver and elk? I've never heard of that and I lived there for years. Mind you, they do some exotic food out there. Have you ever tried Rocky Mountain Oysters? I told my Dutch husband about them prior to our trip there and he looked confused 😂😂😂 Keep on going. Almost 1,000,000 subs 👍🏼
Yikes.....Rocky Mountain Oysters. I live in Colorado too and as far as I know, bison in very popular. But those sinister oysters, whoever named those must have been feeling really mischievous.
im from portland. i bought a tshirt at a concert in a venue where you literally get screened for weed when you walk in. i had to wash it eight times to get the weed smell out.
It's actually French so both of those are wrong pronunciations. "Bwaz" or "Bwa-ze" depending on whether the original name had an accent mark or not. You're welcome.
He really gave Boise and Denver short shrift, seeing as they are two of the fasting growing cities in the US. Lots of folks leaving his town (LA / California in general) for places they can still afford a home.
I live in Minneapolis and you’re right, I would add the growing diversity, and the Minnesota friendliness to the mixture. Our favorite landmark, Mall Of America. And the crazy fun activities you can do during both summer and winter. From sledding, snowboarding, skiing, kayaking, swimming, fishing, ice fishing, driving on lakes, boating, golfing, walking down eat street ( a 4 mile road of restaurants), hiking, and all the snow shoveling lol
I'm from Jackson, MS and this is the first time that i've ever seen a youtube video that pointed out some of the good of the city. basically everyone hates our state and our capital but hey, we don't care because it's absolutely beautiful here year round. We have amazing museums, great entertainment. great food, and we definitely have culture. Over the last few years the city has gotten a lot safer and the crime rate has actually started to fall for the first time in many many years. Not to mention the downtown revival that started in the late 2000's that has made downtown Jackson into a lively area where people come together all the time.
Also a Boise native, he's right. It's Boy-C, not Boy-Z. It's in the wiki article, and here's a pronunciation guide from Boise Weekly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boise,_Idaho#Pronunciation www.boiseweekly.com/boise/idaho-pronunciation-guide/Content?oid=1749831
I’m a native Idahoan and it is boy-c. I have met many people who willfully say it wrong even you correct them because they think it’s funny but the jokes on them for looking like an idiot and saying boy-z.
Nice video. And we may have started a debate on weather you will go with Columbus or Cleveland for Ohio and you probably will go with c-bus but I hope you do c-land. There is a Great Lakefront culture (no pun intended) a decent shipping industry, and good downtown bars and restaurants.
@@ShaneKelly225 that is true, but St. Louis also has a different type of city proper than KC, if you do city proper and the county of STL, then it's much more comparable, but downtown STL is it's own county for whatever reason. I live here so if you live in the county you just say you live in STL
@3:36 - 4:01 Hi Paul, I've been watching and subscribing since the India episode (I'm not Indian, but I was coincidentally working on a project about Gandhi in my history class) and I'm born & raised in Colorado (I even lived in Northglenn for 4 years @3:51). Many of the people are known for hiking or walking around lakes (sometimes reservoirs if they're one of those hardcore people who rarely go inside), but some prefer to be in the metro area to walk down Denver's 16th street mall (an outdoor mall stretching several blocks which includes a few retail stores, a bowling alley, and a movie theater). Here it is not uncommon to have people taking pictures and/or selfies of the scenic points within the city (especially during a sunset/sunrise), and people might even pull over to a backroad for a minute or two to do this (guilty as charged)! Trail mix is definitely common in gift shops and tourist sites, and surprisingly enough there's a city by Rocky Mountain National Park called Estes Park which has elk burgers (I've never tried any though) but here's some more CO quisine intel aside from the typical burger joints: vegetarian/vegan restaurants & yogurt shops, Rocky Mountain Oysters at the infamous Buckhorn Exchange Restaurant, and the Original Chubby's for their Mexican-American menu featuring choices "north and south of the border." As far as kayaking goes, it's fairly common along rivers; but there's a huge thing for skiing and snowboarding in the winter as well as paddleboarding in the spring/summer. Many of them have the purple "coexist" sticker on their vehicle (which is usually a Subaru outback with a bike rack, and also light green or forest green 8 times out of 10). Cheers!
Phoenix is actually located on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Reservation, which is made of two different Native American tribes: the Pima, and the Maricopa. There are several Apache tribes with one reservation located in northeastern Arizona, encompassing the Navajo reservation, not in the state’s capital metropolitan area.
9:44 I think he missed one line thatI feel like should've been added as a mention. "Oh, they also have this rescued B-29 named Doc, it's at there airport."
It's irrelevant whether they change their name or not, in the English language they are still Swaziland, otherwise we would have done Germany as Deutschland and Greece as Ellada.
A lot of people from CT wouldn't say go to Bridgeport CT, if your looking for place to go in the state of Connecticut go to New Haven or Hartford, New Haven as many know have Yale and Hartford is the capital of the state.
Denver itself is more city than outdoorsy. I’ve spent about half my life in a mountain town in CO, and the other in Denver. While it’s a very active community, in general, you won’t find some random dude eating elk steak on the hood of his truck. It’s actually a lot like LA in the sense that it’s busy as hell, the restaurants are pretty good, and there’s a sizeable amount of people looking to make it in the music industry
Finnish Finn Fun fact: the classical American log cabin is actually based on the traditional Forest Finnish countryside log architecture that was brought to the US through the New Sweden colony.
Norwegians found iceland, Greenland and vinland (Canada) and the first two were taken over by denmark after we came into a union with them. We did not maintain these settlements when we came into a union with sweden and denmark still owns greenland to this day. Orkney and Shetland were also originally norwegian, but the danish king pawned them to the king of scotland
The trains in Chicago aren't actually that slow. The red line and blue line are pretty fast when they're below ground. If I take the brown line to the red line to get downtown it usually takes me under 30 minutes and I live about 8-9 miles away from downtown. I don't really know how long other people's commutes are in other cities, but to me that's pretty good. I do, however, have to take 3 trains to school and the commute time can vary from 40 minutes to 1 and a half hours but that's pretty normal, too
Wilmington, DE is terrible. It has one of the highest crime rates per capita, and half of the stores are closed. For a small city, there is a lot of homeless people. And most in the area think of it as the sketchy Philadelphia commuter city.
@@itzpro5951 im from wilmington and can confirm that what this guy says is true, and even if you're trying to be positive there isnt really much that can be said about us, they were literally going to make a documentary on wilmington called "murdertown USA"

Because our cities evolved from tiny villages set up around the natural landscape, while American cities are generally more modern and planned.

three things to note about connecticut:
1) it has one of the largest income inqualities in the US. this means some of the richest postcodes in the country are right next to some of the poorest.

Atlanta international Airport ATL is not just the busiest airport in the US but the entire WORLD. Over 100 million passengers a year.
Now I want to travel to USA. This is great video content, Barbs!
Taussabes yes! Come visit and see the national parks!

I live in New London County, Connecticut. A brief description of Bridgeport and our state in general is that certain parts of the state are very clean and rich and preppy, other parts are farm country, and other parts are industrial wastelands. Cities are generally very poor and underdeveloped and not maintained, while suburbs are kept well. Schools in public cities are failing while suburb schools are thriving. Any questions? AMA.
Fairfield county is preppy (besides Bridgeport) New Haven county it where all the jobs are and the rest is rural
Definitely agreed
Jacksonville is the biggest city in Florida, not Miami
Only the city proper, most people who consider themselves to be from Miami live outside of the city proper, because practically every neighborhood is technically its own city in Miami, if it was organized like Jacksonville Miami would be many times bigger, any population count other than city proper has Miami as being bigger
Javier Kumar Miami has a more populated metro but Jacksonville has a more populated city limit
Jacksonville is Florida's "largest city", yet only its 4th largest metropolitan area. In only its small developed section, Miami-Dade County alone has nearly twice the population of Jacksonville's entire metro.

Finally someone talks about Detroit that actually has real knowledge about the city.
Detroits definittely got a charm to it. Looking forward to how it'll look in 20 years
Oh yeah. It's def expierencing a glow up right now lol
@@vannah12222 yes it is
I just think of ghetto people and depression. Like the city still basks in it;s hey day when it could rivak with Chicago and New York.
I'm from Phoenix. In Arizona, you actually get a property tax deduction for not having grass.
Will Napolitano that's funny
Ayye i live in pheonix too
Makes sense with the water shortage the entire southwest is facing, even here in northern California (damn you LA!)
I live in the lower part.. where Chandler and Gilbert is.

Hey Barbs! I love watching your vids! When you get to New Jersey, as I was born and raised in the state, Newark in summary is quite historic and diverse in people and culture with a predominantly Hispanic community. It's a cool place to visit as there is great food to try and there's Branch Brook Park, a park well known for having the well known Cherry Blossom trees.
How many people still don't get it that Barbi goes alphabetical ...... apperently a lot LOL
It's funny that they don't seem to understand what alphabetical means.
Eric Glueckert Yes it is 😂
Thank you for the Des Moines shoutout!! I've lived here for 13 years and will be sadly moving in August. I had the opportunity to live there during a time of rampant growth which has been awesome, I always say the city feels bigger than the population would suggest!
Sweden's first attempt at colonialism in the US is just about as forgettable as Delaware itself.
As for Atlanta, that has the busiest airport in the world, not just the country.
That is correct. ATL (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport) had 103.9 million passengers in 2017.

Delaware is great for business registration. If you own a business in the US, you don't forget Delaware :D
Peter Schmidt you have to go through us to get somewhere better
In CT we go by Nutmeggers and Bridgeport is not a nice 'clean' city AT ALL and is very depressing
Yep, but I’m disappointed that he didn’t go over the historic stuff since that’s really all Bridgeport has now: like the 1st Subway (restaurant), PT Barnum, and Gustav Whitehead where all from here
If you want a CT city that actually feels like a city, go to Norwalk or Stamford
Well the “clean” part is probably referring to Westport :///
Kansas City for sure is known for our BBQ. If you ever come back, try the burnt ends. They're delicious and you can't go wrong ordering them.
been there once and had burnt ends while i was there, they were great
Yes, where's your fave? I love Rosedale BBQ
Tara KC it really depends on what I’m in the mood for. Gates is fantastic, but I also really love Jack Stack. And then of course’s there’s Joe’s KC. Now I’m hungry. Lol. 😂
Best way to describe LA is by watching Bladerunner
It rains a lot and there are artificial humans?
Yamamanama well you have the artificial human part right. But the other one...
I'd say play GTA V
I'd say Blood In Blood Out, but blade runner is also apt

*Atlanta has one of the largest metro areas in the country and the biggest and busiest airport in the world*
8:16 lol that's so True I almost got jumped in Chicago for putting ketchup on my Hotdogs 😂
Some facts about Boise, ID
1. It's BOY-see, not boy-ZEE (don't worry, no one pronounces it right outside of Idaho)
2. It's the fastest growing city in the country
3. It's centered around the Boise River, one of the cleanest rivers in an urban environment in the country
4. We have the largest Basque population in the United States (there's an entire Basque section of downtown Boise)
5. We're really nice people and many people visiting the city remark on how strange it is that everyone says hi to one another on the street even though there are 500,000 people in the Treasure Valley
6. No, we're not in Witness Protection (at least to my knowledge)
7. If I had to compared us to other cities it'd be a mix of Portland, SLC and Denver. We have a thriving (though small) progressive area of the city (the NorthEnd), are heavily influenced by the Mormon religion like SLC, and are an outdoorsman's dream like Denver (seriously, nowhere can compete with our combination of hiking, fishing, camping, rivers, foothills, forests, etc.)
You should visit. Just keep it to yourself that you're from California. We're obnoxiously anti-California because many from the state are moving here and causing the cost of living to go up even though our wages aren't changing. Also, we're crazy conservatives (Boise is more moderate), so Cali politics are insane to most in the state.
Just stay away from Canyon County.
Haha, Nampa is the best
SO true. I'm glad you clarified this for him, thank you. Forgot to mention Canyon County is definitely a sight for sore eyes.
The Villages, Florida is the fastest-growing city in the United States of America. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Riley Tidmarsh Thanks for those facts, I barely knew anything about Boise. Love from California!
The Boise metro area is basically all of everyone living in Utah summarized in about 500 square miles. Boise is like SLC+Provo-Ogden and Canyon County is basically Payson. Then Meridian is like all of the Salt Lake County cities that aren't SLC.
Miami is my hometown so I’ll summarize it:
“Miami, Cuba, but richer”
As an Alabamian that lives right outside of Birmingham, I’m offended you assume we all root for Alabama. The whole state is pretty much split evenly between Alabama and Auburn fans 😂. Great video nonetheless
I work in Baltimore and you were really accurate about the attractions. The neighborhoods are great and next time you come, check out inner harbor. Lots of good restaurants. Also, there is the National Aquarium. I wasn’t born or raised there, but I do feel
like I belong. Looking forward to hearing your impression of NYC. I’m from NY, but I grew up on Long Island. Keep up the great videos. Really entertaining
You should try geogessr for a filler week. I think youll like it.

Yes, Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is the busiest airport in the U.S. However, it is also the busiest airport in the world, and has been for a number of years! Very cool
Louisiana is like the Quebec of America.
Breadhead except a lot less french
Quebec aka FAKE FRANCE!
Unfortunately they didn't manage to keep the French language like in Quebec or others french-canadians province.
Except there's no language police
The Canadian Acadians actually immigrated to Louisiana when the brits took over Canada
Even if the name change is widely adopted, the e- of eSwatini is kinda equivalent to the "The" in "The Gambia" so you could certainly still argue for alphabetising under "Sw".
This is kinda also true of Lesotho, Burundi but the capitalisation scheme in siSwati emphasises the root as the primary thing (unlike that in Sesotho and Kirundi) so the alphabetising eSwatini under "Sw" is not that inconsistent with capitalising Lesotho under "Le" (rather than "So") or Burundi under "Bu" (rather than "Ru").
tristan roberts And El Salvador is always alphabetised under 'e' not 's'. Seems like as a general rule articles are only dropped when they're in English.

As a New Orleanean, we criiinnngggeeee when people say New Orleeeeens (like you did) or Nawlins - because that's not how we say it. New Or-lunhs is jussstttt fine. Back to the show... *hugs*
Michael Patrick Strahan So how do people in Louisiana say it?
Good question. That would depend on where you live in Louisiana as even in South Louisiana each town has its own dialect, remarkably. And the North speaks much differently from that South, even though it's a small state. However, NONE of those pronunciations include New Orleeeeens or Nawlins :)
Well in Florida we say new or-lins😂
Completely acceptable. Most good people do!
LeCombat86 and the french back to frog country
Denver and elk? I've never heard of that and I lived there for years. Mind you, they do some exotic food out there. Have you ever tried Rocky Mountain Oysters? I told my Dutch husband about them prior to our trip there and he looked confused 😂😂😂
Keep on going. Almost 1,000,000 subs 👍🏼
The Buckhorn Exchange serves elk.
Yikes.....Rocky Mountain Oysters. I live in Colorado too and as far as I know, bison in very popular. But those sinister oysters, whoever named those must have been feeling really mischievous.
Finally, someone mentioned Detroit and talked about stuff other than crime and bankruptcy. Thank you.
-From a Michigander
He talked about bankruptcy to summarize the whole of Michigan though in the 50 states summarized video though :(

I live in Denver, can confirm that was fairly accurate. Can't leave out that its the weed capital of the world tho Haha.
Eyes of Infinity excuse me have you heard of amsterdam?
t3subde Yeah, & it pales in comparison to Denver lol. You should visit & find out for yourself 😉
Im coloradan too, and so true XD
Eyes of Infinity dude same I’m from Denver too bruh and that’s exactly what he forgot
im from portland. i bought a tshirt at a concert in a venue where you literally get screened for weed when you walk in. i had to wash it eight times to get the weed smell out.
Boise is pronounced “boy-see” not “boy-z”...This is the number one way to know if someone is from Idaho or not.
Oh yeah 😂 super annoying
CHATTA-nooga, not Chattin-ooga as well.
It's actually French so both of those are wrong pronunciations. "Bwaz" or "Bwa-ze" depending on whether the original name had an accent mark or not. You're welcome.
He really gave Boise and Denver short shrift, seeing as they are two of the fasting growing cities in the US. Lots of folks leaving his town (LA / California in general) for places they can still afford a home.
zwillshoes im from California and can confirm, ive been to both Denver and Boise and i want to move to either
Barby: Minneapolis is a nice calm and SAFE town
George floyd: Am I a joke to you?
I was looking for this comment.

You can’t beat Chicago. There’s so much to love. And No Chicago isn’t all violence.
South side is
Twin Towers nah south side has gpod areas,most crime happens in concentrated areas.
The African-American predominate areas are the violent ones. Most of them are either on the South Side or West Side. Crime Statistics confirm this.
Yep chicago is the best.
Tell that to the gangs

Haha exactly

The coolest thing happened today we are some watching your videos in our geography lessons, my teacher discribed you as a 'rather strange presenter'
iirc Atlanta's airport is actually the word's busiest as well
That is correct.
Dude hell ya I've grown up in Anchorage Alaska. The cold makes you strong. The snow makes you tuff.
You got EVERYTHING right about Denver. Especially the airport.

I live in Minneapolis and you’re right, I would add the growing diversity, and the Minnesota friendliness to the mixture. Our favorite landmark, Mall Of America. And the crazy fun activities you can do during both summer and winter. From sledding, snowboarding, skiing, kayaking, swimming, fishing, ice fishing, driving on lakes, boating, golfing, walking down eat street ( a 4 mile road of restaurants), hiking, and all the snow shoveling lol
I'm from Jackson, MS and this is the first time that i've ever seen a youtube video that pointed out some of the good of the city. basically everyone hates our state and our capital but hey, we don't care because it's absolutely beautiful here year round. We have amazing museums, great entertainment. great food, and we definitely have culture. Over the last few years the city has gotten a lot safer and the crime rate has actually started to fall for the first time in many many years. Not to mention the downtown revival that started in the late 2000's that has made downtown Jackson into a lively area where people come together all the time.
when will you buy actual microphone?
Honestly would prefer not to, he's doing YT videos not a news or podcast channel :)
Wrong Jacksonville is the largest city in florida
Metro areas intesify
By that logic he would have said St. Louis over Kansas City.
@@vijaydanushkodi4980 no he wouldn't. Kansas city has more people than St. Louis
Boise. Pronounced "Boy-C" not "Boy-Z". Common mistake I used to make too. Wasn't til I moved here that I finally learned.
Also a Boise native, he's right. It's Boy-C, not Boy-Z. It's in the wiki article, and here's a pronunciation guide from Boise Weekly.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boise,_Idaho#Pronunciation
www.boiseweekly.com/boise/idaho-pronunciation-guide/Content?oid=1749831
Well almost half the population in Boise was born outside of Idaho, so I'm not surprised. I'm just saying though, to natives, it's Boy-C.
I’m a native Idahoan and it is boy-c. I have met many people who willfully say it wrong even you correct them because they think it’s funny but the jokes on them for looking like an idiot and saying boy-z.
Phoenix's Cactus flipping the bird to everyone 😂

You should do a video on state capitals if you haven’t
Nice video. And we may have started a debate on weather you will go with Columbus or Cleveland for Ohio and you probably will go with c-bus but I hope you do c-land. There is a Great Lakefront culture (no pun intended) a decent shipping industry, and good downtown bars and restaurants.
I'm shocked as someone who grew up in Chicago you chose to cover KC over St. Louis despite the fact that St. Louis is actually bigger
Eddie in the Loop That depends. KC is more populated if you’re comparing city proper. St. Louis has a more populated metropolitan area.
@@ShaneKelly225 that is true, but St. Louis also has a different type of city proper than KC, if you do city proper and the county of STL, then it's much more comparable, but downtown STL is it's own county for whatever reason. I live here so if you live in the county you just say you live in STL
I wonder what he'll say about Milwaukee. It's like Chicago except smaller, more segregated and more beer/ale focused.
literal fruit like I said, more beer/ale focused haha
Milwaukee is trash
hmoobmeeka i mean, kind of yea
We call ourselves “Connecticuties”
Nah man, I've always heard us called/call ourselves "Nutmeggers" or "Connecticutians"

Hi Paul, I've been watching and subscribing since the India episode (I'm not Indian, but I was coincidentally working on a project about Gandhi in my history class) and I'm born & raised in Colorado (I even lived in Northglenn for 4 years @3:51). Many of the people are known for hiking or walking around lakes (sometimes reservoirs if they're one of those hardcore people who rarely go inside), but some prefer to be in the metro area to walk down Denver's 16th street mall (an outdoor mall stretching several blocks which includes a few retail stores, a bowling alley, and a movie theater). Here it is not uncommon to have people taking pictures and/or selfies of the scenic points within the city (especially during a sunset/sunrise), and people might even pull over to a backroad for a minute or two to do this (guilty as charged)! Trail mix is definitely common in gift shops and tourist sites, and surprisingly enough there's a city by Rocky Mountain National Park called Estes Park which has elk burgers (I've never tried any though) but here's some more CO quisine intel aside from the typical burger joints: vegetarian/vegan restaurants & yogurt shops, Rocky Mountain Oysters at the infamous Buckhorn Exchange Restaurant, and the Original Chubby's for their Mexican-American menu featuring choices "north and south of the border." As far as kayaking goes, it's fairly common along rivers; but there's a huge thing for skiing and snowboarding in the winter as well as paddleboarding in the spring/summer. Many of them have the purple "coexist" sticker on their vehicle (which is usually a Subaru outback with a bike rack, and also light green or forest green 8 times out of 10).
Cheers!
Phoenix is actually located on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Reservation, which is made of two different Native American tribes: the Pima, and the Maricopa. There are several Apache tribes with one reservation located in northeastern Arizona, encompassing the Navajo reservation, not in the state’s capital metropolitan area.

Swaziland definitely changed their name so they dont have to wait anymore to be featured
The king said that, the U.N. has not confirmed the change.
It's irrelevant whether they change their name or not, in the English language they are still Swaziland, otherwise we would have done Germany as Deutschland and Greece as Ellada.
A lot of people from CT wouldn't say go to Bridgeport CT, if your looking for place to go in the state of Connecticut go to New Haven or Hartford, New Haven as many know have Yale and Hartford is the capital of the state.
DemiGod or Stamford.

Hartford? Where shootings happen in broad daylight 3 times a week?
This was cool. Hope there's a part 2!
Denver itself is more city than outdoorsy. I’ve spent about half my life in a mountain town in CO, and the other in Denver. While it’s a very active community, in general, you won’t find some random dude eating elk steak on the hood of his truck. It’s actually a lot like LA in the sense that it’s busy as hell, the restaurants are pretty good, and there’s a sizeable amount of people looking to make it in the music industry

Norwegians found iceland, Greenland and vinland (Canada) and the first two were taken over by denmark after we came into a union with them. We did not maintain these settlements when we came into a union with sweden and denmark still owns greenland to this day. Orkney and Shetland were also originally norwegian, but the danish king pawned them to the king of scotland
The trains in Chicago aren't actually that slow. The red line and blue line are pretty fast when they're below ground. If I take the brown line to the red line to get downtown it usually takes me under 30 minutes and I live about 8-9 miles away from downtown. I don't really know how long other people's commutes are in other cities, but to me that's pretty good. I do, however, have to take 3 trains to school and the commute time can vary from 40 minutes to 1 and a half hours but that's pretty normal, too
Wilmington, DE is terrible. It has one of the highest crime rates per capita, and half of the stores are closed. For a small city, there is a lot of homeless people. And most in the area think of it as the sketchy Philadelphia commuter city.
