Thank you for that trip down memory lane. I moved to the Modesto area in 1978 following the Marine Corps and fortunately was hired by then Pacific Telephone, so I know these streets well. I spent 30 years with the company but spent my last 5 years in Sonora where I retired in 2008 and now live in Tucson AZ. Modesto was a great place to raise a family and live. I have nothing but fond memories of the area. Thanks, again, for the video.
@@jeffgrey663 Oh neat! I love this area! When visiting Tombstone, Bisbee or Cochise County, I like to have breakfast at the Farmer's Country Cafe, I think it's called. Nice little place. I settled here because my oldest son graduated from the University of Arizona. Now, my youngest graduated from there, as well. My middle son went to Stanislaus State and teaches in Ceres. Small world! Thanks for responding!
Moved away two years ago. When I miss Modesto, I watch this video. Makes me happy. Lots of fun and friends downtown. Great memories. Would love to see a College neighborhood video. We lived there.
At 15:26 you pass on the left (although you can’t see it) a bronze statue of an American native Indian on the street corner. My cousin was the model for the face. He was seen in a restaurant by the artist and was asked to pose for it. The body was not his. Me cousin was not that good of shape. He wasn’t paid. He did however get a miniature statuette of the final product.
Thank you for this video..I was hoping you you went to the burrito trucks by taco bell. I moved to Massachusetts for over 16 years and I love seeing all the memories in Modesto, of course things have updated a lot. I definitely appreciate you making this video!
Thanks for watching friend, sorry I missed the taco place.. let me know right about where it at, I will try to capture it the next time I go to Modesto.👍
@@MR.OWENCALIFORNIA The food truck court is at the corner of Ninth and G streets. If headed south on 9th it will be on your right. Can see them at 2:01
From the outside looking in, Modesto would appeared to be a very carefully planned out, very livable, beautiful city, I would gladly love to visit it someday
I agreed, some parts of Modesto are very nice places to live. My wife lived in Modesto back in 1985 for 1990. She loved it. Thanks for watching friend.
When I hit Modesto for the first time that heat I knew i was going back to S.F. quick style.. Bit I started working out of Stockton hauling tomatoes ,peaches etc Making decent money even back in the 90's and I ended up loving that place. I allways think about Modesto and hope that someday I can go back and visit there one more time...
I was wondering on RUclips and found this video. This city looks so beautiful and peaceful I’m going to drive there this weekend, just to physically feel the atmosphere by myself. Thanks for making the video!
MY UNCLE OPENED THE ORTHO CHEVRON CHEMICAL PLANT ON OLD CROWS LANDING RD. IN MODESTO, IN THE MIDDLE 50"S!!!! IWAS GROWING UP IN SALINAS AT THAT TIME!!!! ALOT OF MEMORIES BACK THEN.
...honey....we're leaving Motown---its one town ya just wanna see in your rearview mirror....we been here since '69. We made about a dozen PLUS "ONE OF THE 10 MOST AWFUL CITIES IN AMERICA"----For you name it....fill in the blank_________, "one of the worst run cities in the US, we made like #4...dont forget the ole "car theft capitol of the NATION"...Its ugly. Used to be a gorgeous sleepy little agri-town....now the number of homeless hotels run by the county...are sprinkled generously allllll along Mchenry....crime? Baaaaaaaaaad. We? cant leave fast enough. Sadly.
Thank you for sharing this video 📹 Modesto is my home town but I live in San Diego California so hi from San Diego and that's was a beautiful view video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I miss Modesto
I was homeless here for almost 2 1/2 months back in 2021, and, it was one of the best times or experience that I had in my life. I was around 31 years old back then. Everyday was like an adventure. Every people I meet is like meeting someone that was meant to be my partner or was meant to be there at that moment with me, whatever that moment was, no matter how crazy or simple, or normal, out of this world it was. Hahahahhaha. Went to prison many times and all of them has different unforgettable, memorable, and simply the b3st experience. Knighted by a 33rd Freemason, and this is just 10% or maybe 8% of the story. 😂😂😂😂
I was born in Modesto in 1971 and have spent my whole life here except[t for the last year due to housing we were forced to move now live i Minnesota and hate it I cant wait until we can move back
Modesto is one of my favorite places, I used to spend my summer vacation there around 1089 - 1993 picking black berries in the field. Thanks for watching Roblox Boy.
Japan is an interesting place for visitors. But for the ppl who live there it isn't. That is the story of Modesto. Guests and visitors enjoy their stay. It's just the town folks who may beg a differ.
Nice video that shows downtown of mine hometown, there is no place in downtown for young people to do expect Brandon theater for a movie. They should built something for them to go to instead of outside of town.
What separates high class Modesto from low? It's how many steps from the back door before they squat. Seriously, I have encountered such ignorance and corruption in my fifty years of working travel.
@@minirelish ..... With respect, I believe you are living in La La Land. The world is in chaos if you have not noticed. No place is exempt from the dangers of life. Biden & Harris especially will see to that....
@@alecosmic950 ..... Modesto is as safe as a koala in a eucalyptus tree. It does not compare with the others like;... San Francisco, Bay Area, Sacramento, Stockton, and Fresno. Modesto may not be the prettiest, because it is mainly agriculture/industriously oriented, with livestock. It is country, and not new & dainty, like Elk Grove. My diehard liberal brother lives there....
@@minirelish ..... My last message, I described Modesto as well as anyone on here. I lived in this area most of my life, but more favorable to nearby Turlock. Yes, there always better this, or that, but this is where my folks settled when coming from Ohio. Modesto is true Central California. Not far from the mountains, or the ocean. At this particular moment in time, Modesto is not looking its best, because of cut backs due to the virus, and the homeless everywhere. Truthfully, this is not a good time to fantasize where the best places to live. Not fair to those cities who are suffering now, and the many years it will take to recover. However, San Francisco in my opinion, has always been a shit hole place, with a few attractions. Whenever I leave that city, I can’t wait to get home. I go the country roads home, and when I smell the fertilizer, the silage, and the cow shit, I know I have arrived. I am a country boy, who likes his space. I like to scratch it where it itches ....🤠
Mann you need to go to paradise you will see every body and when u go there the goin look at you weird but they goin get use to i and we goin treat u like family
Worst schools I ever went to in my life. Gangs with knives in middle school (Roosevelt) and that was back in the 80's, I'm sure it's worse now! Thank God I escaped that cesspool. If you love your kids, please do not try to raise a family there.
I live in LA but born in the bay area I'm trying to find affordable and diverse place to raise our child. I was thinking Modesto or Fresno. We need to get out of LA it is terrible
@@ebs2479 We'd love to chat and see if we can help answer any questions you may have. Modesto is a great place to raise a family and we love the schools here!

This brings back memories. I don't miss it. Modesto was not the spot for me. Although I grew up here, and in Ceres.

This isn't what I expected California to look like. This could easily pass for a town in Massachusetts. Great video
Yeah it's not just LA and San Francisco, I feel like a lot of stuff in the northern central valley goes unseen and unheard
Thank you for sharing this video 📹 Modesto is my home town but I live in San Diego California so hi from San Diego and that's was a beautiful view video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I miss Modesto
I’m glad you like it. Thank you for watching 🤙
I ALSO REMEMBER THE MCHENRY VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER, THE LUCKY FOOD STORE & CARMENS MEXICAN RESTAURANT AS WELL!!!
I cannot wait until the Brenden opens up again and fun stuff can start happening in the Plaza.

I see that Denny's restaurant is still there
Amazing. Soooo beautiful 👍👍🙏
Haven't been to Modesto in years. I'm surprised the Taco Bell on 9th still stands! Is Old Mill Cafe still there?
I think Old Mill Cafe is still there. I think I saw it last year when I visited. I wonder if funworks/boomers is still around after the pandemic.
@@shariceguerry5344 yes both still running ✨
It sure is 😊
