Can you guess who said the two quotes in this vid??? Thanks to all of you who stopped by for the premiere! And especially thank you to all those who made this vid possible! PART 2 IS GONNA BE LIT! Don't miss it. Subscribe.
This video was hell to make. Seemed cursed lol. So bad that I will be changing my ENTIRE post-production workflow for part 2. You can see some of the artifacts of the technical issues I had in the corrupted frames here and there but hopefully I will never have to deal with that again. That being said, all links (including how to contact me about anything at all) are in the description. Don't be a stranger!
Edit: I know the audio is less than perfect but you can thank Adobe for that. Had to live with an export bc at least it exported... Next time it'll be different for sure :)
Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Great video! It's true, we do take it for granted. It wasn't until I moved back home after living in the city for 9 years that I truly could appreciate my hometown. You and your wife represent what the town needs right now. New life, new perspectives, and new respect for the simple places in the middle of nowhere. Great job! Cheers! 🍺🍻🍺
It's really hard hearing the sadness in people's voices when I feel like there is so much hope to be had in ways people aren't thinking about. This region isn't doomed! I've lived in horrific places that killed my (and many others') ability to thrive. Here there is a chance. Thank you for sharing! I'm glad you liked it :) Cheers! 🍻
@Auriela that's why the region needs new people like you, because you can see the potential that we lost sight of. My parents still live in MCA. There are still good people there. It's about time for a come back.
While you’re in Ashland visit, locust dale
Sadly, Mount Carmel or Ashland aren’t great places to live
That same table in the town park you set up on is the same table I met my now significant other at-We've been happily together for nearly five months now, and, to think, if it weren't for this town, I never would've met them.
I'm originally from New Jersey and I moved to Mt. Carmel 10 years ago. I like it here. It's a lot different from NJ. People who are from Mt. Carmel don't seem to understand why I'm so happy here. It's just better. I can't describe it. The people are nicer and people just go with the flow. They don't care what you do with your own stuff here and I love that.
Oh.. my... goodness! I don't know where to begin but Thank You for creating such a wonderfully positive video about a town I love. My family immigrated to the US around 1850 and got shipped to Mt. Carmel. Today, you see the negative effects of population loss but all of the friends I once played with have either died of overdose or been the result of domestic violence in the town. Please please please... continue to see the beauty and a face of change for this quaint little town. When my father grew up in town there were laws stating anyone of color was not allowed to spend 24 hours in Mt. Carmel. Now, you are putting together content to highlight the beauty and are welcomed. Please continue as a face for change and the potential for a different future. Best of luck, will stay up to date with all of your new content as your newest subscriber.
Welcome to the channel! I appreciate the kind words. Spread the hope far and wide! I'm here to stay :)
I moved away to Harrisburg for a few years but I got homesick ( and missed all the good food ) and so glad to be back ! Never leaving the area again. Glad you like being here.
i was born in Mt Carmel , year 1930. I'm 92 years old now living in Harleysville Pa.Graduated from MC high in 1948.
So glad you found my video :)
Absolutely in love with 26:44-29:53. So good to see the return of Irving and co. God Bless y’all!
-James Hartnett
Thank you so much James!
Nice job Erv ! Love the way you accentuate the positive ! Showcasing the coal region /Susquhanna valley ! Well done ! And welcome !!! we feel both u and your wife's beautiful souls ✌🏼
Thank you so much!
Agree!
Stunning work of art!
I've fallen in love with Mount Carmel, too. I love the people ... the mountains ... the neighbors ... and my Church, Divine Redeemer!! Don't forget to check out Sunbury... and the first hotel to have electric lighting.. courtesy of Edison himself - at least that's what I heard.
I'm glad you've fallen in love with the coal regions and Mount Carmel.
Awesome! Feel free to say hello after Mass someday :)
I have lived in this town for the past 14 years of my entire life, and I got to say, thank you for recognizing the beauty that this area has within it. I have always heard about a huge negative schtick that this is only another run-down mining area, which is sort of true, but you have to look past the cover to see the story.
My pleasure! Well said :)
But you have to admit all remember when the police officers got arrested because they were saying people broke the law when they didn’t.
@@Melody38662 Happens everywhere. At least here people acknowledge it.
I’ve been around the world twice. Moved to PA 13 years ago after seeing war. Been looking for a perfect town to settle in. This town is it. Later.
No, no its not. I live here and let me promise you, this town is garbage.
You need to go to Ashland to tour the coal mine, then to Mahanoy Plane to hear the history of the plane where they used the plane to move the coal cars. I grew up in Gilberton, married a real coal miners daughter. Now live in Long Neck Delaware 8 miles from Rehoboth Beach our summer time vacation destination, Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Ashland is really close! I will definitely go to those places. Maybe I'll feature them in the winter video I'm planning. I really appreciate the suggestions; welcome to the channel!
I'm from Mount Carmel and I enjoyed your video. It was a great town to grow up in.
Welcome! So nice to have new fresh faces to the area. My favorite town in this area that I recently fell in love with is Lewisburg. Check it out.
Will definitely! Maybe Lewisburg will make it into the winter video :P We shall see!
Welcome to my hometown. When I was young I took Mount Carmel for granted and at the first chance I left and traveled across the globe. When I was finished I instantly went back to Mount Carmel and bought a home. I realized that my hometown is one of the best places in the world imo. Traveling and seeing how everyone else lives made me appreciate my community. Plus I love it's history. Mount Carmel was the first town or city with electric lights lighting up the streets. Also the first football stadium that had electric lights. Thomas Edison built the 6th power plant ever in Mount Carmel.
Thanks for the welcome :) I find that those who've travelled appreciate the region that much more. Thanks for the support!
I wheel these woods and I know almost every trail. I wouldn't live any place else
Same I know these woods and every trail like the back of my hand.
Great video! Thanks for posting!
Great video, way to point out the great that we dont always realize thats still around us.
Such a beauty
Just seeing your video. We have lived in the Bloomsburg area for 27 years and hope you are still as in love with Mt Carmel as when you filmed. What the coal region needs is people like you and your wife. Good people who can also see the good in a somewhat forgotten area who want to bring it back to it’s glory. I really enjoyed your perspective of our area and especially your sweetness and gratitude for the simpler but important things in life. We love living here too, there is so much to do and the coal region has the best ethnic food! I hope to see you out filming sometime! Come on up to the Bloomsburg Fair.
Thank you! Actually, the next video I'll be releasing this week will heavily feature Bloomsburg and the market there :) Keep an eye out for it!
I'm glad I moved here last year with my wife and kids from Center City Allentown.
Glad to hear that! If you need any help adjusting or figuring anything out feel free to reach out! Big things are coming to our community :)
Having moved from the city i can def agree on how kind people are. Evrything is so quiet it kind of bugged me for a few month's. I have to take notes on where your going cuz i def wanna see and take some pics too.. places here look amazing!
For sure, I've gotten so many recommendations too since posting this. Definitely will be exploring more as there seems to be an endless amount of sites to film
I love mount carmel! I never lived anywhere else and I don't want to ever live anywhere else.
Thank you sooo much for this. I come from the Hall, Shovlin, Donahue Families, Mt Carmel. I remember Langis' when there was still a real soda fountain in there and the best home made ice cream ever. My Great Grandmother an Great Grandfather were the first of my family to settle there. My Aunt Josephine Shovlin ran the Kinney Shoe store there and probably most of the older generation knew my Aunt Mercedes Donahue who was a schoolteacher and had a masters in a time when it was unheard-of for a woman of the time.I was born in 1961 so I remember what a beautiful downtown area there was at one time. My Grandfather Richard Hall was an opera singer who died of what we think was TB leaving behind a wife and 5 children including my father Bernard A Hall, and unfortunately my Aunt Mary his youngest sister was killed in a sledding accident (actually ran into a bakery wagon).My Grandmother was so poor that she couldn't afford a doctor and Mary died from her Injuries. My Daddy and Une John Hall used to "rob the pillars in the mines for coal to keep the family from freezing and to sell little buckets of coal to the neighbors for pennies. There is so much history to Mt Carmel. The Theater was incredible. Also.people came from all over to go. To Doris Berry Shoppe for hand made hats gloves and tailored dresses. On Hickory Street was my Uncle Joseph Donahue's Furniture and Carpet Store that sold hand knotted imported rugs and also made rugs on a loom in thr store window. There is an expression in the coal regions that when someone is ...well I'll say unkempt or ungroomed they are called a sheenie.That actually has it's original roots from a family named "Sheeny" who had a horse drawn old wagon(the horse was also old and wore a hat. The Sheeny family were "rag men" back in the day. They would go through town singing "RAGS, METAL AND TIN...WHAT YOU DON'T WANT,THROW IT IN" 🎶. Also people would come from all over to Matucci's Corner Restaurant for the only real Italian food in the area. Gene Matucci was an executive chef and even the Culinary Institute of America would send students to study there. The restaurant was started by his parents and now his son still carries on providing fabulous food for reasonable prices and the pizza and fresh baked bread is to die for. My "sister" Rose (Catino) Modesto ( now the first lady of Deer Lake hete can really tell you about Mt Carmel history as she was born and raised there. There's so much to tell. Even the legendary Lady in White haunting of Broad Mountain. Have you checked out the library yet? The ladies there are amazing and there are vaults of microfeesh with pics and newspapers dating back to the 19th century. Also the old timers meet there (hopefully they still do) and are always thrilled to share great stories. Please fell free to call me at 570-366-2421...the Pottsville Republican Herald are always looking for historical and home town stories. They are actually a Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper due to a story that my father gave to a reporter named Eliot Jaspin. We have a really rich history here in the area. For example John O Hara's Gibbsville novels were written about our area. Coal was king and made many fortunes but the dark side was breaker boys, company houses and stores and "There's blood on the coal and the miners die in the holes that never see sun or sky".Also check into Mahanoy City.Babe Ruth played in the Anthricite league there. Pearl Baily got her start singing in the brothels of Pottsville.Conraid Weiser wrote his novels in Pine Grove. We are very proud of our rich and diverse cultural history and you'll never find friendlier or kinder people. Oh yes can't forget about Ben Franklin, Mohammed Ali, Black Jack Kehoe and the Molly Maguires his grandson is still alive and living in Girardville. James Jones who wrote "From Here to Eternity" has ties to the area also. And there's a very cool story about how Pottsville "acquired " the Statue of Henry Clay. How about Hawk Mountain Sanctuary?Have you gone to Knobels Grove yet? I can go on and on and I already did and I've just started the tip of the Iceberg. Very happy to have you in our community so keep making your artistic pieces about our area. God Bless and with Warmest Regards, Beth A Hall, Deer Lake...
Thank you for sharing your history and stories! Lots of stuff I didn't know. It was my pleasure to make the video. There's so much more to come :)
Em 2017 eu tive um sonho onde Deus falava comigo que eu e minha família seríamos enviados para Mount Carmel. Eu nunca tinha ouvido falar nessa cidade, não sabia da existência dessa cidade, não sabia em que lugar do mundo ficava. Desde então tenho pesquisado muito sobre a história dessa cidade e acabei encontrando seu vídeo. Obrigada, obrigada por mostrar Mount Carmel de uma forma tão linda. Assistindo seu vídeo entendi o motivo de Deus nos mostrar esse lugar, um lugar tão lindo e abençoado. (Me chamo Maria Luiza e moro no Brasil)
Let's goooo
Wooooo
Thank you for a great and interesting video.
You're welcome :)
I grew up in good ol MCA... It was a great little town to grow up in.... and we had a hell of a football team! Go tornadoes! Coal cracker
I hope you stay!! 💚
I secretly hope so too; we shall see what life brings :) Thank you!
Right. Infinite number of things to do in our area!
After coming across some other videos from the coal region I decided last summer that a road trip from NYC was in order. Despite the blight that plagues the region or maby because of it , I was instantly drawn in. There's definitely something very special there. I'll be returning in June for a longer stay.
Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions or need recommendations :)
@@auriela 👍
Thank you for your appreciation of, and for reminding us of, the beauty we take for granted on a daily basis.
FYI…. The -hanna part of Susquehanna is not pronounced hahnna. That first “a” sounds like the “a” in the word “at”.🙂
Note taken :) Thanks for watching!
Those windmills always freak.me.out! They're HUGE like giant dinosaurs 🦕
Glad I'm not the only one haha
You live on my old block… I use to live down the street and we hung out at that old church even played base ball at that corner
I recommend going to a place called cinnamon stix in Mount Carmel. Very nice coffee/gift shop with the best Acai bowls.
I've been there once to buy coffee beans! I'll have to check it out again for the bowls. Thanks for the suggestion
Kulpmont 2 miles west of MC is the nicest town in the coal region.
I'm driving through there all the time :) I like to attend Holy Angels there a lot of times but I have yet to stop for a bite in Kulpmont. I'll have to do more exploring there!
Miss the wild lands of MCA.
Welcome to the coal region!
Thank you!
I saw this on Facebook and HAD TO COME TO RUclips. I'm an original HO BUTT so we rival with MCA in football season the most over the years but mount Carmel is a bit "prettier" in the aspect of view for sure. I live in strong, also the down town is like a little time warp at midnight. I love how it looks. this just made my heart so full. Thank you for this. And I love all of the positive feedback, we really DO need more people to come here. None of us have made an effort to buy up the properties falling in total disrepair ESPECIALLY shamokin!.
I'm glad you like it! I totally agree with everything you've said. I'm so glad this video has had a positive impact on the community
Also, what on earth is HO BUTT? I've got a lot to learn haha
@@auriela a shamokin Pennsylvanian. 🙃
@divinepatchoulipine8004 Thank you haha. Had a convo with someone at Archie's Shoe Store in Kulpmont about the term and got a funny full explanation 😂
While filming at the Susquehanna River, where you in Danville? I couldn't decide what town it looked like...maybe Northumberland?
I was actually at the Isle of Que near Selinsgrove, right on Front Street which is absolutely beautiful!
I was also struck by the juxtaposition of the windmills sitting on top of the richest coal veins in the world.
Those windmills are so ugly. They disrupt the beauty of the landscape.
I was searching for legends in the area. Does anyone know any and if anyone remembers the bloody Mary one? I Don’t remember what happened in it I only know there’s one about the Mariam.
My wife and I are enjoying your video.Did you decide to move to Mt.Carmel?
That's a surprise for future videos but that should be hint enough ;) Thank you!
You need to stop at Catinos on Oak st and get some soupie.
I love the guys at Catino's! They offered to give me a tour of their wine-making process for one of my videos which I'm excited to do soon. I'll have to ask them for some soupie next time I'm there :D
Is New Brunswick in or near Mount Carmel? Thanks
I am raised in Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania So that's very surprising So that's surprising. That somebod Actually likes this place even though it's kind of bad.
Visit Danville PA.
noice
Ha ha I grew up with that they’re completely normal
Mount Carmel is a fine little jewel surrounded by 150 yrs of awful strip mining
The redacted screen cracked me up though.
Lol you won't think about Mount Carmel like that too long trust me . Just give it a few years , than you'll start working on getting away from that town at all costs man . I recommend looking us up, we're right up the street from you guys, you want to learn some things about where you moved lmao
Hard to imagine at this point, but I'll swing by at some point to hear you out! We're on the verge of making a decision to stay for longer or continue with our original plan so I'm all ears :)
People need to come out and vote in this small town. Mt, Carmel was once a great town. I heard not one but many terrible stories about the head of this town. Please don't get me to start with the local police here. I have a story to tell, and I'm about to write a complaint letter, hopefully getting someone on the top to know the situation.
Mount Carmel is it's not the greatest there's a lot of snitches here trust me and people burn you out of money to
