Boy did this bring back memories. I was stationed at the Navy Academy Hospital 1973-1975. I was a Navy nurse during the Vietnam War and am, therefore, a Vietnam Veteran.
I've met a number of people you probably worked with. One has a dentist practice in Annapolis right now. Lighthouse dentistry if you wanna to reach out to her.
Hello from Ireland, my friend moved from Ireland to Annapolis when she married a soldier and they live there now. She said it was beautiful and it really is so stunning. I love your videos, they are so relaxing.
Love your videos! I am 66 yrs old, lived in Maryland all my life (Baltimore), and yes, our Capitol City is beautiful, if you are a tourist, LOL. The dock is called Ego Alley, where all the guys and gals with boats show them off; at 9:40, the county is Anne Arundel (not Arundal), but no worries, we Marylanders just call it Rundle Canny, hon. Population of Annapolis City may not be very big, but the surrounding area is huge, crowded, and you ain't experienced life until you drive to/from/ around Annapolis during rush hour. It is a very old city, and if you drive anything larger than a Yugo it can be frustrating. People are very friendly, they do take pride in Annapolis, and it shows, and there are mostly professional and well-educated people there; as to cost of housing, forget it. Yes, there is plenty to see and do, including boat rides and quaint tours on buses, and walking tours too. If you are an American History buff, this town is definitely on your list.
It’s called Pleb summer! Love this video! My nephew is a graduate of the US Naval Academy, he flew the F-18 Hornet for the Marine Corps for about 2 decades and is a Major General in the United States Marine Corps! We are extremely proud of him, especially when you consider there are only approximately 63 Generals in the entire Marine Corps…. Semper Fi… I do wish you would have explored more of the city but still a great video covering the Academy….
local meteorologist here... not uncommon for the area to get this hot, but its been unusually persistent and intense this summer. Last time we've seen a stretch of 101+ days like this was in the late 1940s.
Washington D.C., through Annapolis and Kent Island are known for what we called 4 o'clock Squalls. My dad would say just wait 10 minutes, the sun will be back!😂
Our daughter attended St. John’s College across from the Naval Academy. Alumni Francis Scott Key graduated there. While there, our daughter lived in a 200+ year old house near downtown. We have visited many times and hope to go back soon.
Hi!! I love watching your videos. Thank you so much for taking me along on your trips. I'm disabled and can't walk very well any longer, I use a wheelchair so getting around sometimes is a little harder. I am in Maryland, about 90 minutes away from Annapolis down south. Southern Md, actually. You were asking about the heat, and YES, SIR, it is hot!!! With the humidity, yesterday was about 110 degrees. I haven't been to Annapolis in a few years, so thank you for showing me around!! Please be safe, stay cool, and drink a lot of water!!! Sorry, I just worry about everyone. Especially the folks I see on youtube. Have fun, and thank you!!
I grew up there, it is a beautiful place. Many wonderful memories of boating and eating hot steamed crabs with cold beer. Maryland/DC Area is very hot in the summer and the humidity is very high. Love your videos. ❤
Annapolis is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Very clean with a rich history. The historic homes and buildings are a site to see. Quaint little streets and shops. Boaters and boats galore. Let's not forget delicious crabs and seafood. A real gem, this little American town.🫶❤️🤗
Deja Vu: I think I saw once, while visiting the city, that cool corner building with the smokeshop. 20-25 years ago. Man, those Naval Academy buildings are incredible. My architectural training tells me that the excellent wood dome at the statehouse was probably wood joinery: mortise and tenon work. Square holes in the wood with rectangular wood plugs for tenons - that sort of thing.
Nails or whatever type of fastener would be utilized nowadays might not have been invented or have been universally available at the time of its construction. Makes one wonder how this structure would have been fashioned today. I suppose it would have been useful to allow ingress of natural light; super important before electric lighting was commonplace; or perhaps as a way to funnel heat higher up, like an inverted cone, away from the main visitor area of the building? It certainly adds a decorative element to the buildings facade...
Thanks so much for featuring my hometown of almost 40 years. As an Annapolis photographer, I have trod over just about every step you took in this video. I have been watching your videos for over a year and have been looking forward to your visit. You’ve done a marvelous job documenting Annapolis and the Naval Academy. By the way, locals never refer to the Naval Academy as “Annapolis” because Annapolis is the city and state capital. I haven’t been to Middleton’s in a long time. Although I figured you’d go there for the history, there are better restaurants in town. As a crabcake maker myself, those cakes do look fabulous. There’s not much bad to say about the place beyond the traffic and the heat. Looks like you missed the traffic, but got nailed by the heat. Ya, that’s Maryland in the summer. Thanks for visiting.
Hi guys Annapolis’s was certainly a very beautiful old city with so much timo offer anyone wanting a vacation experience you probably couldn’t get anywhere else ! From the beauty of the churches , the old buildings and the water area and the state house was amazing to see also! The very old tavern restaurant was beautiful and quaint and really for what y’all got the meal was reasonably priced , those crab cakes were loaded with crab also !! Safe travels see y’all next time !! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
I live in Maryland not far from Annapolis and YESSSSS its been extra hot this July!!! Its normally hot But these last couple weeks have just been extra hot lol And of course we have to mention the humidity is always insane!!! Great video!! Too bad you couldn't have come in on a boat into the city marina!! That would have been extra cool!!
Loved seeing my hometown through your eyes. I used to work at Middleton Tavern and was excited you chose it. You did miss out on oyster shooters. An Annapolis staple there.
Joe and NIc , That duck is a Northern Shoveler. looks a bit like a Mallard, except for the bill which the sweep back and forth while feeding. Our daughter had two summer internships in Annapolis, with the former Governor of Maryland, that would have been the early 2000's. I remember how beautiful the downtown area was. Our Nations Naval Academy really makes it a special place for visiting. Annapolis is a gem!. Cheers, Rik Spector
Very enjoyable video. I loved the grounds of Annapolis. The church with the Lord on stained glass was something special. I really enjoyed the entire video. I believe it's hot everywhere. No.Texas is 103° with cloud cover and no breeze. So you can imagine. It is a beautiful city. Thanks so much.
No empty storefronts in that town I see, and it is very pretty and historic - a bit of a contrast to many of the places you've visited recently, which frankly have been a bit depressing to watch! It's also interesting that the chapel at the Naval Academy is far more impressive than the Episcopal Church - you see that in England too.
You noticed the pipe organ in the Episcopal church, but didn't in the Naval Academy Chapel? That organ is one of the largest pipe organs in the country. It has 5 keyboards, 522 draw knobs on the console and 15,688 pipes!
Annapolis is the nicest state capital you've shown us so far. It's clean, it's well preserved, it's got a great scenic location and it's got plenty to offer the visitor.
I was born in Annapolis 1973. My father worked down town at a radio station 107.9 wfsi. We since moved the Eastern shore Maryland. Thanks for showing of our State Capital.
Loved your tour of Annapolis. When I was in the Navy I was stationed on the USS Wiltsie (DD-716) at Treasure Island, San Francisco. Some of the officers on the Wiltsie had graduated from the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis.
The acoustics in the church at Annapolis were amazing! I'd love to hear the organ! The row houses always interest me. I can't imagine living like that at all. The town and campus are beautiful. Wish I had those crab cakes for lunch right now. lol Thanks.
Naval Academy "guys in white" are Plebes - first year students on their inaugural/boot camp summer. 4 guys in khaki were officers. You visited during a record heat wave., unfortunately.
Annapolis has such a quaint downtown. It is hot and very humid on the east coast all the way up through New England in July and August. Thanks for the great tour.
The old buildings are so charming. The naval academy buildings are well kept and impressive. The streets lined with trees are picturesque. Was trying to imagine what the place looked like when horse carriages were still used. No shred of trash no homeless tents. Lovely food n perfect purple nails. 💅 yay! Have fun in the Big Apple, watch out for people pickpocketing your wallets n phones tho. Thank u for the video.
I really enjoyed this video ! A beautiful and very interesting city, and the homes are lovely ! I love the church bells ! Thank you so much, Joe and Nic.😊💖
Annapolis is beautiful! Enjoyed this video! Lovely duck! Love the streets in the downtown. Very interesting history. Post office is beautiful. Love the sign on the church door. Gorgeous homes! Love Dahlgren Hall and the Academy grounds / chapel. Cool cannon! Looking forward to New York!
Marylander here. Our capital city is beautiful and such a fun place to walk around and shop and eat. And yes, Maryland was built on a swamp and is hot and steamy in the summer! It is also a really a fun place to Christmas shop on a cold, snowy December evening.
They make the worlds best stack rudders in Maryland they go from 8ft and upwards and when on three double you can holler them in at large capacity instead of one fourth. If you go down to Mc Grover street you will find a large hoover rack that has been there since the 1800´s at least.
Thank you Lord Spoda for the tour of the hallowed grounds of the US Naval Academy . It is something we poor folks never get to see . The state capital itself seems similar to nearby Georgetown DC and old town Alexandra VA .
This is one of my favorite of your videos. Such history and very pretty town. And what a fantastic looking church. Beautiful architecture. Also was awed by the buildings at the Naval Academy.
I live in Northern Virginia, not far from Annapolis. Yes, it is incredibly hot! Not only in Summer, most of the year. Remember Snowmageddon in 2010? Since then we haven't had more than a few inches of snow each year and the summers are hotter and hotter. Oh, and each of the row houses (minute 10:00) will cost the better part of $1 Million.
The same here in Germany. Lots and lots of new foreigners. Eastern bloc. Muslims. Black people. Very, very unusual for old Germans. And lots of problems with them. Completely different upbringing. If you want to talk about „upbringing“...
@@gplunk your right. Sad state of affairs. The older homes were solid. These new home are made out of sawdust and glue. Shut the front door and the whole house shakes. Yeah a little exaggeration but not by much. :)
18:09 Those are plebes. Called freshmen at a normal college. They are going through plebe summer now. Started June 27th. Ends mid August when the academic year starts. There was an upperclassman in a Khaki uniform leading them somewhere. The others in khaki uniforms were upperclassman. No telling what they are doing a lot goes on during the summer. Wish I ran into you Joe and Nic I live very close to USNA. Great video!!
So glad you went into the Chapel. My brother was in the Abbey Brass which played the Easter Services every year. The music and beauty of the chapel could literally bring you to tears.
Wow! Impressive Annapolis! 🥰 Luv the Passport Stamping. You & Nicole are such a joy for me. Thank you so much for taking us along with you. Hope you never tire of me saying this.
Your video, earlier, was not available, so I found a podcast about the State House. It said that the renovations will attempt to utilize the materials and colors used when the building was built and that this would require some investigation. I found that the room where General Washington resigned his military commission to be very interesting. I wonder just what purpose that room served when this event occurred. The place oozes with history. Those row houses remind me of similar structures that I have seen on RUclips of Liverpool in the UK, where a few of The Beatles grew up. They had been renovated, particularly in Dingle, where Ringo grew up. So So, there's a strong British legacy in Annapolis' row houses. All of this is very intriguing and compelling. I appreciate this work you're doing. P.S. The room where George Washington surrendered his military commission is the old Senate chamber.
Beautiful city it has been a while since I have been there, but yes Maryland summers are very hot and humid, this year has been a little extra blah. You did miss the crypt at the naval academy, but I do not think you are allowed to film there, it does hold the tomb of John Paul Jones, father of the US navy. And the statehouse dome does use wooden pegs instead of nails, there was a fire in the dome in the early 2000s. you were right near the Alex Haley Kunta Kinte memorial at the waterfront.
I was stationed at the WA Naval Yard with Naval Investigative Service. Worked at the Inaguration of President Clinton. Love our capitol city and Alexandria. Thank you for sharing Annapolis. 😊
Annapolis is such a cool, charming town. Re. weather/climate: Yes, Annapolis (as well as the overall Baltimore/D.C. region) is warm to hot and 1,000 percent humid from late June through to the end of September. Thank you for visiting the USNA campus. In all my time in Annapolis have not been there.
That Naval Chapel is stunning with the vaulted ceiling and dual pipe organs (?) maybe one with extensive pipes? Pretty town for sure. Have a great day and safe travels
I’m from Maryland & it’s a very hot summer but we also had a mild winter . From when I was young we really don’t get the snow we use to get if we’re lucky we do . I love all the seasons . Annapolis is beautiful.
Hi, watched this video twice so I could really look at the row houses & downtown. Reminds me alot of areas in/around Plymouth Harbor in MA. My husband & I go down there alot in summer on our Harley. I saw your vid on Plymouth & you missed alot of the beautiful old homes, buildings on the side streets around the harbor. I appreciate you educating us on the different styles of architecture. Thankyou for your videos. Stay safe & hydrated.😊
Lived in Md. 66 yrs. Before moving to Florida. Both seem to run neck and neck with humidity and heat! Florida just lasts a fe2 months longer. Don’t let anyone try to tell you different🥵
Great video guys. Sure brought back a lot of memories from when I was there over 40 years ago. And it still looks just as nice. It’s indeed a beautiful city. We had many opportunities to explore a lot of the areas when stationed at Quantico. Beautiful buildings and historic naval sights. And yes anything other than white is more important. LoL don’t ask me how I know. LoL 😂. Great job great commentary and stats. And yes it was a great place to visit but was costly to live in even back in my time. My favorite part is the waterfront areas. Use to be some great restaurants close. With excellent seafood. Thanks for the ride along safe travels my friend. Keep filming I’ll keep watching
I grew up in Annapolis. Regarding your question about the heat. Summers are always hot and humid, especially July. Same weather as DC, only 30 miles west.
Boy did this bring back memories. I was stationed at the Navy Academy Hospital 1973-1975. I was a Navy nurse during the Vietnam War and am, therefore, a Vietnam Veteran.

He walks around the grounds, in and out of buildings, until he's told he can't, which is a good idea for immersion purposes!
Paid for with our tax dollars.

I love Annapolis. When I lived in Delaware I tried to visit at least once a year. Thanks for another great report.
Annapolis, one of the most forgotten state capitals during a geography test.
Literally it was the ONLY one I forgot when I had my US capitals test in the third grade. I put Baltimore.
@@Kat-tr2igI put Baltimore also 😂
Thanks for showcasing the beauty of my home state!!

Hi from Australia I love watching your videos I’m loving this town very nice on the list for a visit for sure
I have been to Annapolis many times, but not recently. Thank you for another fine upload.
It looks the same as it did 15 years ago.
For such a relatively young country, America has some magnificent churches and government buildings. Another great episode.💯👍

Summers in Annapolis can be hot and humid, but there are often breaks as cold fronts move through bringing lower heat and humidity.
The heat and humidity are worse in central Maryland during the summers, but Annapolis has milder winters.
Another great video. Annapolis 👍 and the Naval Academy 👍 Beautiful historic city!
Wow looking at the inside of the church. Man what has happen to us. Could anyone build something like this now days. Personally I have my doubts.
What has happened to us..I ask that every day. I feel I've been abducted & dropped into a completely foreign zone.
The same here in Germany. Lots and lots of new foreigners. Eastern bloc. Muslims. Black people. Very, very unusual for old Germans. And lots of problems with them. Completely different upbringing. If you want to talk about „upbringing“...
New 'construction' these days is a sad testament....
@@gplunk your right. Sad state of affairs. The older homes were solid. These new home are made out of sawdust and glue. Shut the front door and the whole house shakes. Yeah a little exaggeration but not by much. :)
And architecturally 'devoid'; to boot....

It said that the renovations will attempt to utilize the materials and colors used when the building was built and that this would require some investigation. I found that the room where General Washington resigned his military commission to be very interesting. I wonder just what purpose that room served when this event occurred. The place oozes with history.
Those row houses remind me of similar structures that I have seen on RUclips of Liverpool in the UK, where a few of The Beatles grew up. They had been renovated, particularly in Dingle, where Ringo grew up. So So, there's a strong British legacy in Annapolis' row houses. All of this is very intriguing and compelling. I appreciate this work you're doing.
P.S. The room where George Washington surrendered his military commission is the old Senate chamber.
Dontcha you LOVE THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY. THIS is a staple of Maryland.
I lived in Crownsville right outside of Annapolis. We loved taking walks there
We lived in Crofton...what a great place to hang out.
@@rbelf001 I agree
Common up to Hanover PA. We have great rural town called the snack capitol.
Been there👍
Beautiful city it has been a while since I have been there, but yes Maryland summers are very hot and humid, this year has been a little extra blah. You did miss the crypt at the naval academy, but I do not think you are allowed to film there, it does hold the tomb of John Paul Jones, father of the US navy. And the statehouse dome does use wooden pegs instead of nails, there was a fire in the dome in the early 2000s. you were right near the Alex Haley Kunta Kinte memorial at the waterfront.
I was stationed at the WA Naval Yard with Naval Investigative Service. Worked at the Inaguration of President Clinton. Love our capitol city and Alexandria. Thank you for sharing Annapolis. 😊
Annapolis is such a cool, charming town.
Re. weather/climate: Yes, Annapolis (as well as the overall Baltimore/D.C. region) is warm to hot and 1,000 percent humid from late June through to the end of September.
Thank you for visiting the USNA campus. In all my time in Annapolis have not been there.
That Naval Chapel is stunning with the vaulted ceiling and dual pipe organs (?) maybe one with extensive pipes? Pretty town for sure. Have a great day and safe travels
I’m from Maryland & it’s a very hot summer but we also had a mild winter . From when I was young we really don’t get the snow we use to get if we’re lucky we do . I love all the seasons . Annapolis is beautiful.
Beautiful city 😊
There are some really old homes in Salem Mass also. From the 1600s.
The Naval Academy Chapel is beautiful.
Hi, watched this video twice so I could really look at the row houses & downtown. Reminds me alot of areas in/around Plymouth Harbor in MA. My husband & I go down there alot in summer on our Harley. I saw your vid on Plymouth & you missed alot of the beautiful old homes, buildings on the side streets around the harbor. I appreciate you educating us on the different styles of architecture. Thankyou for your videos. Stay safe & hydrated.😊
Phenomenal
Blessings from Texas ❤
Thank you Joe awesome like always love the videos it is beautiful in there wow
Best video yet , beautiful place.
Lived in Md. 66 yrs. Before moving to Florida. Both seem to run neck and neck with humidity and heat! Florida just lasts a fe2 months longer. Don’t let anyone try to tell you different🥵
I believe it!
Beautiful, thank you!
Yes!! This summer has been insanely hot here in Maryland!
Great video guys. Sure brought back a lot of memories from when I was there over 40 years ago. And it still looks just as nice. It’s indeed a beautiful city. We had many opportunities to explore a lot of the areas when stationed at Quantico. Beautiful buildings and historic naval sights. And yes anything other than white is more important. LoL don’t ask me how I know. LoL 😂. Great job great commentary and stats. And yes it was a great place to visit but was costly to live in even back in my time. My favorite part is the waterfront areas. Use to be some great restaurants close. With excellent seafood. Thanks for the ride along safe travels my friend. Keep filming I’ll keep watching
I grew up in Annapolis. Regarding your question about the heat. Summers are always hot and humid, especially July. Same weather as DC, only 30 miles west.
Thank you for sharing your journeys with us. ❤
Thanks, this is so awesome.
