Earle's Bar Room Rocker - Midnight North: • Video
Please allow me to applaud your style of filming. Having watched countless YT videos whereby someone is walking through a town/city and filming, this is the first video where the filmmaker actually turns occasionally to the left and occasionally to the right, as any interested person would walking around a place for the first time. Also much appreciated are the periodic inserts of what a certain corner used to look like in bygone days….as well as backtracking the original route from, yet another point of view, the other side of the street!! Once again, thank you for filming it as per my personal taste 😊
Thank you, I much appreciate it. I turn right and left because I want to get as much as the street as possible from both sides. I have been criticized a couple times for maybe turning too abruptly and I understand that. I have an interest in history of what buildings used to be what at a given time, so I try to make my videos as somewhat of a time stamp in history for these buildings, businesses, etc. I wish I could have some videos like this from the 1990’s of my area so I can spark a memory “oh yeah that used to be there” etc, so maybe years in the future people can do that. Or right now people more familiar with the area can see how the streets have changed from years ago. Thanks again for the feedback !
22:13 . This was my uncle's garage in the 1970's. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you for great video• I was in Ashtabula long time ago - summer 1974. In those days city was full of life. Hope that things are getting better there. Juha Koski, Kotka Finland.
That is neat! I have another Ashtabula video you may also enjoy ua-cam.com/video/VkVs-eyWDKw/v-deo.html
No it’s horrible I wouldn’t recommend anyone living here
Thanks for the brief pan down w 54th street. I lived down there across from the late Chestnut St. Elementary School. Any more exploring of my old street would have been too much.
Love living here!!!
Ah, yes. Trail Closed. Always was. Thanks for the glimpse down the old path through the same big trees I remember from long ago. I used to get up at 4am on summer mornings (before any "bad people" were up and about) and follow that trail to the Ashtabula River, a steep climb down, and sit on a half-fallen tree, to daydream. Twenty years ago, I revisited the trail, but was scared away by a homeless encampment there.
I lived on Main Avenue for over ten years. Right above Wetzel's Carpeting. I also worked at Park Haven Nursing Home that used to be on Park Avenue. Living in Geneva now.
& I bet you don't miss it.
@@CSmith-gb1sl Sometimes I do, but mostly, no.
@@kymdidonato5987 Ex gf had a business on Center St, I had the pleasure of driving through the town a month back (first in over 20 years), some things change, some stay the same.
The red door building at the corner of W 54th Street was, in the mid-1950s "Amidon's Typewriter Store. Mrs. Amidon taught my second grade class down the street at Chestnut Street Elementary. The brief pan down W.54th was worth a thousand words: my heart stood still to see the road rise up to the railroad crossing down at the other end: my childhood world.
Thank you for the information! I also have a video of Ashtabula Harbor area and one of Conneaut if you have not seen.
Love your videos, buddy! You're style is relaxing!
Thank you!
Left in 1967, not the city I remember or would care to visit again.
The Harbor Area is still quite nice.
What is the Harbor area?
Around 56 Years ago.... So were you born and raised there and Left and never went back?
Are you in your 80s?
What makes you hate it so much?
I heard they renovated the old Ashtabula Hotel into a some kind of Heath Center..The old Shea's Theater building is rotting out,the owner bought it back in 2016 for $20,000 nothing much has been done since then.It would be nice if the City or a Non-Profit could help restore it,could be a key towards downtown revitalization.
I believe the Ashtabula Hotel was torn down a few years ago, but you can still see a historical plaque making the site. I remember working in the kitchen there, summer of 1968, and listening to radio broadcasts from the chaotic Democrat Party convention in Chicago. Nixon won the presidential election.
@@constantreader8760 The hotel stands directly behind the Historic marker and has been repurposed and renovated into the Signature Health Center
Needs many more subtitles telling us where we are: the cross streets. Everything is so depleted it looks like one big parking lot. I lived there 1955-1970. Can't recognize much of anything.
Sorry about the lack of subtitles. I sometimes think most people watching these are from the area anyways, so they probably already know most of the streets. I’ve mainly put which ones I’m walking on for reference.
@@StrollCam So much has changed since I lived there. Many places look somewhat familiar. Thanks for showing some of the street signs. That helps.
Where are all the people?
There were not that many out and about. The Harbor area is much more active it seems.
My Dad was born and raised there. He is buried there along side his parents and his brother. My Grandpa took the whole Family to the Cemetery. He brought a Family plot so he showed everyone where they would be buried... I was a little kid that really Freaked me out. I decided then, I was Not going to be buried there. I will not be.
I think fine buy a plot for you and your wife. But It is Creepy to buy more than a dozen graves 🪦 plots / sites and take your grandkids there and point out to them where they will be buried. 🫣
My Grandfather was a Good man. An Outstanding Grandfather he had a way through of talking to kids like they were Adults that was often tough for me to deal with as a little kid.
I was born there along with several of my siblings.
This Video is Very Depressing it feels like a Ghost Town.
Half the buildings should be torn down and replaced. I don't think there is any Historical Value in keeping old crumbling buildings around.
The Ashtabula Hotel has been closed since 1985... It looks like it is still very well kept. Someone must be using it for something. It is the best looking building in this whole Video.
For Nostalgia reasons I am a bit Surprised you didn't show the High School 🏫. The Local Grocery Store is Not included either. They are both close to the area you Filmed.
Nice 👍 🙂 Good job making this video.
There are worse fates, I have a plots at Calvary, only would use one & not sure I even want to do that.

I don't understand what you are trying to say.
My comment is about the Decline of Ashtabula Ohio since the time my Father was Born there 85 years ago. My Grandparents bought a home in Ashtabula around 120 years ago. The house is Still standing and occupied.
My Grandparents and my Father had a real Love for Ashtabula. In Fact my Great Grandfather moved to Ashtabula and my Grandfather bought his own house there too.
So Historically my Family has deep roots in Ashtabula Ohio.
My mother is living there right now. My oldest brother is also living there right now too.
I remember when Ashtabula Looked a Lot Better than it does Today.
When you think about the Surrounding Areas of Ashtabula and if you like to experience those areas then it is a fine place to live even today.
The problem as always is Employment, good jobs are scarce. That is why my Father moved out of Ashtabula in the 1970s. We would still be there on the weekends a lot to visit our Grandparents.
I mentioned my Grandparents, and other Family members being buried in Ashtabula on a Family burial plot to show my deep lifelong (I was born in Ashtabula Ohio) association with Ashtabula.
I am Not against Family burial plots. I think it works for certain Families.
When you get married typically, if you don't get divorced: Husband and Wives will buy burial plots next to each other.
My Grandfather bought plots for himself my Grandmother, his 3 sons, my mother, and for my Dad and Mom's 6 children. I believe he had more people included too. I was around 4 years old when he 1st told me and my siblings all of this. He had each of us Stand in Front of our Graves.
I Seriously doubt any of my siblings will be buried there. One of his sons is Buried in Germany. More than half of the Graves he bought will Not be used.
Like I said my Grandpa's presentation of this was really disturbing for me, since I was so young. Having 6 kids stand in front of their graves is upsetting for kids. It made us all cry.
@@JesusSavesSinners You missed the point, but thank you for the back story, & pertains to your thoughts on being buried there. Right now I'd be very afraid to visit those plot(S) I hold title too. They are at an older section secondary to the actual family plot of my grandmothers family.
I agree it's a depressing thought. My Ex GF grew up in Ashtabula so I spent some time time there around 25 years back. I at least got her out of the area, she went on to marry, had her 2.3 children, got divorced & is living happily ever after. Her brother used to mention Ducuro would get all of us at some point.
