Not anymore. I live here, it's the armpit of the country now. Literally every weekend the black are shooting someone. Every time we have a snowstorm they loot the stores empty in a day forcing them to close
When I was in my 20's I lived with a train fan-atic and we loved the Art Deco buildings thinking they were built in the 1920's. We questioned nothing but always said; Old Good New Bad. 35 years later - I am loving this research. Thank you.
Love you man! The delicate shuffle between comical cynicism and sarcasm that you are casting on the Old World robber baron narrative is 1st Class! You are the guy to get us to wake up! God gave you great talent and open eyes/heart to accomplish this all-important task. Thank you for investing your skills in this direction. Not trying to be silly and fluff you up too much; just saying thank you and naysayers should try expanding the limits of the mind/heart. 🙂
Wow! The whole time looking at this sort of photos, I honestly thought that the crews were at the church on Sunday morning when such snaps were taken. You folks know how all construction workers are God fearing individuals. I can personally attest to that……….hic………pfff………….
@@brianwebber6996_ROADHUNTER Nice, a fellow connoisseur! Truth be told, I would never let any of my guys be in any photos whenever the paper or the local news sock puppets came over to a job for a story. Their heads were too big anyway, no room for expansion there.................Those talented men and women made my job a LOT easier!
Your tongue and cheek sarcasm about the European builders not having any other interests...etc...and all they really like to do is build and build and build and build had me laughing out loud in the middle of the night! Weeks and weeks now I have simply tried to lay flag stone and cement some things around a couple little ponds of mine...I am almost dead from the effort and cannot believe how really hard work laying stone and cementing is...although I am 61...and a woman...ha ha. The weird part of all this is, is that I became suspicious because I am also an artist and know what time and effort it takes to create anything worth while and some of the art in these structures is absolutely over the top!!! And I started going hmmmmmmmm. Thanks for the Laugh and your excellent compilations...much appreciation!
Mind officially blown. If I even had one pinky toe on the fence, this video just sling shotted me off in to the abyss. Thanks brotha! Great work! No frickin clue how I didn't see it before. Good to know I am not the only one. Peace and love.
I enjoyed the sarcastic tone in the narration in this video 😆Had to pause it at the 8.05 mark and stare at the still image of the Blessed Trinity church interior. Simply stunning. The Sistine Chapel springs to mind looking at that eye candy 😍🤩
Something else thats cool about the horse and carriages that sit atop of snow without sinking is that they were also capable of not casting shadows on sunny days. 😅
Buffalo is a city I was able to spend some time in a couple of decades ago. Wow, am I ever glad they had all those endlessly-supplied, 24 hour Cathedrals R Us Depots for the builders of the late 1800s. Where would they have been without a cartload of gold leaf at 3 a.m. on a January Saturday?! But seriously, the asylum was one of my first big "cognitive dissonance builds." Otherworldly. And that Erie Savings Bank demo bankrupted Buffalo and nearly bankrupted NY State trying to pull it down. Glad it didn't go easy!
Pittsburgh and Erie Pennsylvania and Buffalo and Rochester New York seemed to be popular in the old world. Rails ran from Pittsburgh right to Buffalo from 1885-1932. I think the railroad is old world and the 1877 rail strike in Pittsburgh Pa is a story in itself with photos. Great work and fantastic video.
Buffalo, NY is the microcosm of the macrocosm. There are so many structures remaining it just might be possible to figure out all the historical lies and grasp the original timeframe and intent of the buildings. Once you can recognize the historical puzzle in Buffalo, you can then recognize it everywhere. Blessed Trinity “church” towards the beginning of your fabulous video is one of the most amazing buildings in all of the U.S. My favorite video of yours yet. Thank you!
absolutely amazing video, being born and raised in Buffalo NY now 46 years old I used to not like the old dull color building after visiting Toronto and seeing all the gigantic glass buildings as a kid then coming back to Buffalo and just seeing all the old buildings but now being older and realizing the difference in amazing architecture I am in awe of these buildings. Note from 1896-1908 the 10 story Ellicott square building was said to be the tallest building in the world. It is really amazing with all the faces gargoyles lions eagles and other carved in attributes' I am going to go visit these building to take my own pictures soon. Thanks for making the video I really enjoyed it.
Magnifique! Buildings l actually worked in and visited in my youth. I was an altar boy at St Joseph's in the 60s and 70s. The place was falling apart then, the Italian marble couldn't handle the Buffalo winters. Sadly, it's been torn down. Thanks for the video.
There is a tiny bit of a feeling of being so miniscule and never being able to creat these large magnificent buildings. Its like a astonishment plus feebleness.
2:00 home of the grain elevator, invented in 1842 by joseph Dart. Buffalo is the home of the modern bucket style grain elevator. only reason i know is because i grew up on Dart Street.
Loving ur videos been watching all of them ! Don't stop! I'm in the trades too. Living in nanaimo and when u show the insides of the building its a real head scratcher. And I installed stairs for year and some of the floating stairs wth
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Good collection of drawings/ (B&W) photography pictures from that era. The genuine " Masons " whom constructed those magnificent structures by hand-!!!🤗. Bank robber " Pretty Boy " Floyd spent 13- months ( 1933-34 ). Rhode Island & 18 th streets a spacious 4- bed room apt. Unfortunately that buffalo wings establishment didn't open up while he was there to enjoy😭.
I did look into the worlds fair, was looking for the parts of the building. Lot was reused, the wood work, steel, and glass. Also, started working at a horse stable on the grounds, thing Edison sailed threw the basement, and here I'm thinking I was the only one to kayak an old basement around here
@@Kat.Evangeline14 I know that, but what kind of people were they that took so much care in their architecture. Also perhaps they were not Giants, and mankind are just simply dwarves.
41:10... What on earth is going on with the sky in this one?? "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute." - George Orwell
The Guaranty/Prudential Building (30:30) seems to have taken about a year to build from 1895. Years later, people tried to restore some of the terracotta, but did more harm than good as they could not match the original techniques. There was a fire here in the 70s that nearly resulted in the demoltiion,.
Lovely collection of photographs. You made a couple of errors in identification, nothing egregious but suggesting you haven't actually been to our weird wonderful Buffalo. Please come and visit...you'll love it!
With peculiar things like these visible in our standard public parts of society, it almost gets me to wondering if similar “anomalies” might exist around more highly “modern” constructed areas of habitation such as, say, massive “resort villages” like Walt Disney World in Florida and the like…🤔
The Ellicott Square building is absolutely gorgeous inside. The court house and the basilica 🤩, the north towns is insane also, Tonawanda which is between the Falls and Buffalo where the Erie Canal meets, is a castle called Tonawanda Castle 😂. In North Tonawanda and City of Tonawanda there are old world buildings everywhere, a lot of the buildings still have the tech on top. Which seems odd since the story is they were small towns, with poor people 🤦🏼♀️ thank you great work!
That it is! But careful! Buffalo, Niagra, and Rochester are all part of Western New York. Don't lump us in with those Upstaters! And I like Maine too, very pretty, especially in Summer/Fall.
As an aside, it would probably be an appropriate time to rewatch "Time Bandits" with 2020 vision, eh?! I didn't really get it decades ago. I know I do now.
I put my head on the angel over that door on Ellicott square you shower. It's not as intact as you say, it it full of filler, as the original is colorful, and it was painted to hide repairs, also, all upward facing parts are cover in tar, and do to it being fragile, it's painted over, not sandblast. Think the head I replaced fall do to the last painting of the building. Was headless over 10 years. 50 lions started falling from the top, crown is steel plate now. Found one lion in a garden, unpainted, also with tar spots.
o lice in the city of Buffalo ang i love seeing stuff like this. The first person ever executed by the electric chair was in buffalo outside in front of city hall. tomas edison built the chair and put G.E. on it because he wanted D.C. instead of alternating current.
The rail car, pulled by the horse, was not to take patients to the insane asylum like in a Monty Python movie. "Bring out your dead." It was to transport the workers and nurses.
you are quite a valid resource. you talk with such authority, without presenting proof or even entertaining a discussion concerning the idea's you are attempting to put down. however, it is plain to see what you are doing. be ware, community, red herrings are abound. thanks for the informing video, professor, or agent. or, how about, agent professor.
Next time you do a survey, might I suggest a look at Cardcows "other cities" category. I'm looking through Minnesota cities that didn't make it into city categories, for being too podunk I guess? Sure do have some nice Castles though😂
The sarcasm is over the top🤣 Because Buffalo is the most over the top city I have seen yet. Keep up the great work!
i just go crazy for the subtle slight hint of sarcasm in these tartarian creators tone of voice and sometimes a little phrase lol....
thanks....wasn't trying to be sarcastic....I'm actually thinking about flip flopping on the narrative....OK I'm kidding.
A person could spend a whole day staring at the Guarantee Building. I know I wanted to. Much like Detroit's Guardian Building.

The photographers were very conscientious to only take construction photos while the workers were on their lunch break.
They're just moving too fast! You know...those old cameras and stuff...
😅agree!!!!

Everything was safe & effective at the asylums... 🤣🤣🤣👏👏
I do not know why we took their word for it for so long. I guess the threat of governmental institutions like insane asylum was a big deal.
I’m born and raised in buffalo, SOUTH BUFFALO,Irish Catholic family, Buffalo has Great History

Blessed Trinity? WOW! I spent 29 days in Italy touring nothing but "old world" buildings. Buffalo has banger after banger. Excellent presentation.
The old world architecture is simply amazing!
I enjoyed the sarcastic tone in the narration in this video 😆Had to pause it at the 8.05 mark and stare at the still image of the Blessed Trinity church interior. Simply stunning. The Sistine Chapel springs to mind looking at that eye candy 😍🤩
What came first, crappy wooden power poles or laser straight, 3d formed, immensely ornate metal/iron lamp posts? 😊
Congrats on your new opening theme. Looks great. Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks I appreciate it
it's like a time machine lol
This is some of your best work yet! Buffalo is my favorite old world city. But, “I need more pipe organs!” (In my best Christopher Walken voice.)😂
Hahaha....do you have a fever?
A fever for…More Cowbell…
There are a few still in operation here!
Something else thats cool about the horse and carriages that sit atop of snow without sinking is that they were also capable of not casting shadows on sunny days. 😅
What are you people on about? To completely rewrite this history would take more work than all these 'otherworldly' buildings.

NY has great vision
It's amazing what you can build with hand tools and horses without the distraction of modern technology to get in your way.

Iron fronted? With all that free power tech! Holy crap!
Sarcasm at its finest !! The "floating" horse was very talented, I had horses most of my life but none of them were t h a t "talented"
Lol when you said they lived a sinful lifestyle, so there was no shortage of churches😅. This is probably gonna be one of my favorite videos.
That's high praise from you. I appreciate this thank you!
Buffalo is amazing
The grain facility is General Mills, and Golden Metal Flour. My dad worked there for 20 years. Thank you, God Bless 🙏❤️
Practice makes perfect.
Best video commentary award for sure!!
Love it.
Thank you
So many of those buildings look extremely like fairytale style. That’s my description for the castle like homes. And armories.😮 WOW
Awesome sarcasm... I'm laughing through this one!!! Great content as always.👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I like the subtle sarcasm. I found and video a armory/castle in Fitchburg MA on Saturday
Even Mister Ed knew Buffalo had the best buggy teams.
I was laughing hard when you were talking about the workers doing side jobs 😂😂

12:59 They didn't anticipate railroads, but they totally anticipated electrification of horse-drawn streetcars.

Only halfway through. This is SPECTACULAR! Thank you, so very much.

Giants

Awesome! Thank you!

They were .master builder's of sunken buildings. A speciality we have lost today.

Gotta love those hanging lights with no wires lmao
The castle’s 😮!!

Our forefathers FOUND the Tartarian Realm, that was renamed Erica's Realm, I Am Erica.. AMERICA.
The myth of the Wild West needs to be considered just that - a myth. I think this research has proven that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

they've been here longer...history is a misdirection.
