Sooooo UNtrue. Burlington, Vt. has 2,454 black people living in it. That 5.7 of the population. Not a lot, but not the tiny few that uninformed critics of Burlington, and by extension, critics of Bernie Sanders would have you think.
You can say the same with Charleston, West Virginia. Or West Virginia in general. Trust me I'm from there. We have lost 100s of thousands of people. You grow up here, you get your education cause you get perks and you move south. It's boring here, there's no jobs, and just really nothing outside of Charleston, Huntington, and Morgantown.
Am from Billings, I suppose I have seen a few people do wood carvings. And yes, we were your typical wild west town in the 1870s-1890s before we settled down. Our first sheriff was called Liver Eatin' Johnson.
I live in Norfolk, VA at the moment. And the reason Virginia Beach is the largest city in VA is because they decided to make the whole county a part of the city. It can take between 10-50 minutes from Norfolk to get to different parts of Virginia Beach depending on where you’re going. It’s totally insane.
This is rather cool, and well researched. I like it. You should do a Part 3....for the largest communities not in the 50 states. Pago Pago, American Samoa; Washington, DC; Hagatña, Guam; Saipan, Northern Mariana islands; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Charlotte Amalie, US Virgin Islands.
raakone I wouldn't say it's well researched. He makes very large assumptions, the one about Burlington, ( the city I live in), is very wrong. Kinda seems like he just read off a wikipedia page, but it's a filler episode so..
Providence is Little Boston. I grew up about 30 minutes away, and I always liked going to Providence more than Boston. Providence is smaller, and way less congested.
Fun Fact! Philadelphia was the biggest city in the USA for awhile until the Erie Canal was created. The Erie Canal led people right to NYC instead of Philadelphia causing NYC's economy to skyrocket faster than any major city at the time.
As someone who lives literally 10 minutes from Providence I can say that Providence is probably the doughnut capital of the world, it also is basically the only place you can find coffee milk other than maybe South-eastern Massachusetts. All the people have an accent of a New Yorker crossed with a Bostonian, and they are all Friar fans. Oh yeah everyone is basically Portuguese by the way.
@@TheGlennergy No more Tim Horton's sadly. That one closed a bit ago. I remember it closing sometime when I was in high school so it has to be at least 8 years at this point. It's a Pizza Hut now
I never really heard about Rhode Island being known for doughnuts until recently. Also, SE Massachusetts does have coffee milk and we even briefly had it as one of our 3 drink options in school (the other two being white and chocolate milk). Also I could really go for a doughnut and coffee milk now.
Moving back to Jakarta, Indonesia, I love it when someone mentions “Sioux Falls” cause I ‘ve spent a lot of time and had many memories there. If I am gonna ended up in the United States, I would consider Sioux Falls as a place where I want to live. (Suddenly remember the terrible winter , blizzard, and requires a lot of driving plus the closest big cities are only Rapid City, Omaha and Minneapolis and takes 2.5 to 4.5 hours to get there) But yeah. I still love this small yet convenient city in the middle of nowhere with bisons that indicate that I have entered SD from Minnesota via I-90)
@@emridatla3886 I was wondering about that,i mean i'm from the Netherlands and i'v been in the US, for the first time, last year and we drive by Salt Lake City but didn't had time to stop there but if it's gone than we couldn't find it anyway LOL
About Albuquerque: Why on Earth didn't you mention this was the place where Bugs Bunny always made that wrong turn in his travels, Paul? That would have been interesting to note.
9:28 Actually Nashville just recently surpassed Memphis as Tennessee's most populous city in May 2017. Memphis was indeed our largest city for decades, however.
Providence native here to give you some info about the place. Way too much info, perhaps. -PVD has a ton of great restaurants. While there is a big Portuguese presence, Italians are probably the most represented ethnicity, and they make pretty good food. There are also lots of nice Asian joints nowadays. -There's a rich horror tradition; ghost tours are a big thing, Edgar Allen Poe lived here for a time, and Lovecraft is buried in the city. His resting place, Swan Point Cemetery, is really gorgeous in terms of both nature and grand burial statuary. Can't recommend it enough for a stroll or or bike ride in the area. -It's very much a college town. Brown's influence is unavoidable- they own a huge percentage of the prime real estate, and are constantly building and expanding further still. But it's not the only school; there's a well-regarding culinary school, as well as RISD. The latter college contributes hugely to Providence's status as an arts town; it bills itself as "The Creative Capitol." -Providence was actually a big deal in manufacturing back in the day. The city and surrounding bergs (looking at you, Pawtucket!) are littered with enormous mill buildings in varying stages of decay. Those that are well-preserved have been converted into pretty cool spaces, but many others are too dilapidated for anyone to try fixing them, and serve merely to contribute to the grimy urban atmosphere. Keep in mind that Rhode Island is super densely populated, beat out in that category only by New Jersey, and most Rhode Islanders live in the Providence metro area; parts of it are just packed, and it feels like a fully-fledged City not all that much smaller than Boston, though Boston dwarfs Prov by a good four or five times. -The public infrastructure is notoriously bad. Our roads are the worst in the country, as are the bridges I believe; one of the city's celebrated landmarks is an old upright bridge that failed very early on and was never moved from its position. Between that and the weird insular culture here ("I Never Leave Rhode Island" bumper stickers are common), it feels rather backwards and stagnant, despite being forward-looking and inventive in so many ways. -Providence has an array of top-notch theater companies. If you have the opportunity , I particularly recommend a theater called the Gamm. Between such high culture, the great dining, and the convenient location between New York and our cool big bro Boston, there's plenty of appeal for well-off city folk. Taxes being what they are, such people are just about all you'll find in a number of neighborhoods. -There has historically been a huge mafia presence in Providence, and to some extent that's still the case. Faith in local government tends to be low, and compared to neighboring cities this one is notoriously corrupt. One of the most fondly-remembered mayors was a guy with plenty of organized crime connections, who managed to turn the town around for the better in many ways despite his nepotism and cronyism. He was jailed, eventually, and what's really wild is that the man ran for the office again, FROM PRISON, just a few years ago, and was a popular option. Were it not for his death around this time, we Providencers (?) (still not sure what our demonym is) might have been in for an interesting time. -However, oddly, it's really quite a peaceful place; the annual murder rate is consistently several times smaller than those of nearby metro areas, though given how grim the competition is (Worcester, Bridgeport, Hartford, and their ilk all more or less hellscapes in comparison) I'm not sure how amazing that really is. -We have awesome libraries. Check out the Athenaeum, you book lovers out there. -Some huge corporations roost in or near Providence. CVS was founded here, and their stores are inescapable. Perhaps biggest of them all is Hasbro; a lot of people are employed in the world of games and toys and content for children and bronies. Unfortunately Hasbro, along with Brown, the city's prominent hospitals, and a few other parties hold enormous amounts of sway and land, and it's easy to feel like they're the ones who really reap the benefits around here. -Also, Providence has a lovely children's museum. Can't recommend it enough for the under-10 crowd. -This is an extremely Catholic city, maybe the most papist in the nation. Clergy have a lot of influence. -There are also a whole lot of Jews. Many are intellectuals, professors and the like. There are some impressive synagogues in town, in addition to some of America's oldest churches. It's a big (relatively speaking) hub for Unitarian Universalists as well. Phew, okay, chances are no one will read this whole thing, but it was fun to write. TL; DR- Providence is a kinda cool quirky city marred by stagnation, and while I can't necessarily recommend moving here, it's a place well worth a visit in its own right.
Thank you for this lovely text. I was looking for something like this, like a word from a Providence native when I was writing the eponymous song. After reading this, I felt as if know so much more about your city. So... check out the song called Providence by Rain Delay. Very long story short, the song is about a young couple and their romance in a beautiful town in Serbia (yeah, in Europe, neither Siberia nor Syria...) called Novi Sad. Providence here is the nickname for Novi Sad which I made as a portmanteau of the words "promise" and "evidence". However, it is also inspired by your beautiful city which I have never been to, but hopefully will one day.
Thank you!! The "do something" comment bothered me a little. I am a RI guy who has been around the country. The most common mistake people make when they find out where I'm from is that they think I'm from new york. People think rhode island is part of new york I'm sure because they confuse it with long island. The rt 195 bridge before they changed it back in the 2000's was thee single worst bridge in the world at the time. Mayor Cianci marinara is a very good product btw
Naaa.. newark has plenty to uphold, it's got good old MetLife (giants stadiums) along with the mecca of a campus in Princeton, which held probz the 'best' series spanning the 00s (only low it's known for few movies: Garden State and Nerve)
lol looks like Iowa was like "nope" when they drew the border, but the most likely thing that happend was that the Missouri river (was) moved at some point in the city's history
CAPace09 No, if anything it would be Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. But, Columbus has more than Cleveland and Cincinnati combine. So, yes gars129, we do have a largest city. Lol
Fun fact about what you said about Nevada, Actually paradise isn’t its own city, Las Vegas valley has 3 cities, North Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Henderson. When you hear people say paradise or Summerlin or wherever, they’re just parts of Las Vegas, same PD, same mayor, etc
Virginia's really dumb with cities because most of our towns aren't Incorporated. Alexandria/Arlington/Fairfax is our biggest Metro Area, Richmond is our biggest "urban" feeling city, and Norfolk/Hampton/VABeach is the runner up to both, but in all three more people live on unincorporated county land than in the "cities" themselves.
Indeed it's weird, but it honestly makes for nice suburb living. Only problem is it gets boring after awhile. Even Richmond feels pretty sparse. NOVA is really the only thing that is a totally different beast from the rest of the state.
Virginia is down right bizarre, an anomaly of a state. And while NOVA keeps growing the southern border much of everything south of Richmond is turning into a background shot from the walking dead.
To add on to this. Sioux Falls has lots of people of German descent. The city is growing fast and more and more Hispanics are moving in. Not that much crime, and I think it was voted in the Top 10 Best Cities to Raise your Kids in. If you do come, check out the Falls Park!
I also live in Sioux Falls. I was very excited for this video because I feel like not really anyone knows about how great Sioux Falls is. I would really recommend visiting Falls Park.
The nickname for Charlotte is Queen City because it was named after Queen Charlotte (wife of king George 3 aka the king that America hated during the revolution) and the hornets is what Cornwallis, commander of the British military gave to Charlotte because of how much the population was hostile. He then called it a hornets nest.
FYI the Bronx is the only borough that’s attached to the mainland. Manhattan is too technically, as the Marble Hill neighborhood that used to be attached to the island of manhattan was attached to the Bronx by the rerouting if the Harlem River but is still considered part of manhattan!
When you look at the map of Manhattan and Bronx, it is obvious that they were one land mass at one point millions of years ago probably, and erosion or earthquakes caused separation and the formation of the Harlem River
Barb, if you want to do something similar like this, I recommend doing the 48 (so close to 50) ceremonial counties of England. Just an idea. If you want to do all of the UK, Wales has 13, Scotland has 31, and Northern Ireland has 6, totaling 88. Ireland, if you're curious, has 32, making a grant total of 120. Loadsa videos!
You're not wrong about Oklahoma and OKC lol. Lotta Okies treat tornadoes like a life or death thrill ride, rather than a deadly weather event. OKC is also a major crossroads, with Interstates 35, 40, and 44 running through it. Many people not native to the state or country find their way here, too. Most of them tell me they like the balance OKC strikes of being big, diverse, and vibrant, but not so big it's overwhelming or inescapable. And Pow wows. Just find one open to the public and go. There's food, music, dancing, art, storytelling, and a whole mess of interesting people.
Burlington has actually gotten a lot more diverse in the past few years because it became a sanctuary city, and there are now entire communities of Somalians, Arabs, and Bosnians
Budgorj "Somalians" first mistake "Arabs" smaller mistake, but still mistake "Nepalese" not a mistake, maybe the ghurkas will be helpfull We have both somalians and arabs in France, and it sucks.
3:53 no, the Bronx is **not** on an island. It's the only one of New York's five boroughs that isn't either an island (Staten Island, Manhattan) or is on an island (both Brooklyn and Queens are on the westernmost end of Long Island). Also, when you use the proper USPS two-letter abbreviation for a state (e.g. "NJ", "NE", "VT") it doesn't have a period at the end of it unless it's used at the end of a sentence.
12:05 it's pronounced "Nor-FULK" not "Nor-folk". Man, this video has more errors than normal. Who do we blame? Is it Ken? This is all Ken's fault, right?

The Bronx is not on an island, it is almost completely on the North American mainland.
No, it was originally supposed to be a sports arena for a professional team but then they ran out of money. So bass pro shop came in and it is what it is
Skeletal Pirate is right though, I live in the new north end (a neighborhood in Burlington) and there are a considerable amount of Nepalese, Bosnians, and Tanzanians/Somalians
I live in Lincoln, so if I ever felt like doing a day trip, the zoo is a good excuse. My family used to have a yearly family pass to go there all the time.
Las Vegas is actually one of the most important cities on the topic of architecture. The book called Learning from Las Vegas built a manifesto for what is known as postmodernism. Today, Vegas is seen as an architectural thermometer gauging the most trendy designs that influence the rest of the US.
Zylork0122 Oh God no. The architecture there represents the worst of American architecture. Just a hodge podge of gimmicky buildings with no class or taste. Some of the newer hotels are less garish but they're still not examples of great architecture. I'm all for civic pride but Vegas is a blight on the desert built on depravity. All southwest cities are a middle finger to mother nature.
I’m in agreement with the southwest but that only applies to Los Angles (shots fired), Arizona, and New Mexico. Vegas is extraordinary for its architecture. Please read the aforementioned book.
Zylork0122 Na all cities in the southwest have no reason to exist and are terrible. Millions of humans aren't meant to live in the desert. You are right in that LA is the worst culprit but only because it's the largest, it's at least got SOME rainfall compared to Las Vegas and Arizona. Also is the book written by someone from Las Vegas? Because claiming that postmodern architecture is all due to Las Vegas is a pretty wild claim. I'll read your book if you read "Cadillac Desert"
No, neither Denise Scott Brown and Robert Venturi are from Vegas. They were architecture professors before setting up an architectural practice. Don’t be surprised when you learn more about their teachings resonating from Vegas. Yes, every 7 Eleven’s architecture resonates Vegas. Not to mention Walmart, McDonald’s, and every other business you’ve been to. They’re called decorated sheds, a term coin by the couple and learned from Las Vegas.
Zylork0122 Hmm sounds interesting, I thought you meant it was influential in "high architecture" or whatever label you wanna put on it. I could definitely see it's influence on terrible franchises and big box stores, tackiness is a defining trait of that kind of "architecture" and nowhere is more tacky than Vegas! Sounds pretty interesting I'll have to check thay out.
Yeah if you go to Seattle, you gotta check out Pike Place Market, it's got a lot more than just the men throwing fish at each other, it's a whole building/outdoor area filled with different random shops and local vendors set up on tables everywhere, there's a nice area where you can eat/look out at the Olympic Mountains, and the building has multiple levels with an architecture that is cozy/reminds me of a ship. It's hard to describe, you gotta check it out.
I would love to see a video about Antarctica as the next filler week. Sort of in the format of a regular country episode, but adjusted to fit the needs of this international Continent

I grew up in Fargo! I’m also Scandinavian-American, and yes there are quite a few of us in Fargo. You did pretty well, although I might add that most of us Fargoans are a bit ambivalent toward the Coen brothers’ film. While it put us on the map for many Americans, only the opening scene takes place there, and many assume that we all have the thick Midwestern accent portrayed in the film. Don’t get me wrong, we definitely hang onto our O’s too long sometimes, but mostly we just sound like regular Americans haha
BadgerCheese94 Haha yes the accents are definitely real, just not as pronounced as they are sometimes portrayed. And I know, they're from St. Paul, right? Hope you're enjoying the Midwest :)

I'm from Virginia, and I'll talk about Virginia Beach. 1. First of all, I'm not sure why Jamestown is even mentioned since it's like 1.5 hour drive from VB. 2. It's the biggest "pleasure beach" in the world 3. Instead of "bachelor graduates" living there, it's more of a military and shipyard living community, since Norfolk has the biggest shipyard and naval base in US. (Norfolk pronounced: "Nor-fukk" btw.) And not only that, but lots of New Englanders like to visit and live there. 4. As mentioned, lots of recreational and entertainment goes on. Museums, Aquariums, parties, watersports, etc.
Buckeyes (the Ohio buckeye trees) are native to Ohio (and surrounding states). They can’t be found (naturally) in Ireland. Did you mean that in Ireland you have actual Ohio buckeye trees or just chestnut trees whose “conkers” are similar to buckeyes?
I recently spent a day and a half there on vacation, and I knew I had to go back at some point to see more of it. It's been named the friendliest city in America on multiple occasions, and it's a great place for anyone who likes Southern food.
Providence (well, basically all RI) was basically run by the Mafia for much of the second half of the 20th century. And depending on who you ask, it was the birthplace of diners and food trucks (in about the 1870s some local restauranteurs started selling food to office and factory workers out of wagons parked outside the factories). And oh yeah, Family Guy.
I drive through Cheyenne once and what stood out to me the most was that for a capital city, all of the streets seemed to be empty and the parking lot at the Chili's near the mall was COMPLETELY packed
As someone who lives in the Providence area, I'm not surprised you don't know anything about it. Here's a fun fact: Rhode Island was the first state to declare independence from England; yes, it was even before Massachusetts. The great majority of the state is within a 20 minutes drive of the ocean, so seafood is everywhere, sailing is huge, we love coffee milk and Del's frozen lemonade and it always feels like you're right near the ocean everywhere. The state has a major inferiority complex both because of the small size as well as the fact that most consider it to be like a kid brother to Mass/Boston.
I don't know if pride is the right word for it, but the size definitely affects our outlook. Anything more than a 20 minute drive or so is considered to be interminably long.
My nephews and nieces are learning about countries over the summer. Your videos are by far the most interesting and informative in less time. We gain so many take-aways and facts we didn't know. So, thanks....NOW!
Newark, NJ, and Charlotte, NC: AKA my home(s) away from home. Seriously. Every domestic flight that we take goes through Charlotte and every international one goes through Newark. I know the layouts of those airports just as well as I do our own.
I live in Albuquerque. I can attest to all of what you said haha. Green chile is life here, the Air Balloon festival is huge internationally, native culture is big here, and the Sandias(the mountains you mentioned) are gorgeous and glow red from the sunset on clear evenings because of its flattish face and straight north-south run. Great summary of this city!

Yeah, this. Though it should also be mentioned that it lives in the shadow of Boston a bit. Boston sucks up a lot of cultural and economic energy.
I think outside the US Providence is known mainly because of H.P. Lovecraft.

@@TheGlennergy No more Tim Horton's sadly. That one closed a bit ago. I remember it closing sometime when I was in high school so it has to be at least 8 years at this point. It's a Pizza Hut now
He could have talked about how we were basically ran by the mob up until 30 years ago. Waterfire. The Biltmore being haunted. HP Lovecraft.
The doughnut capitol is Portland Oregon 100% Voodoo Doughnuts is da bomb
I never really heard about Rhode Island being known for doughnuts until recently. Also, SE Massachusetts does have coffee milk and we even briefly had it as one of our 3 drink options in school (the other two being white and chocolate milk).
Also I could really go for a doughnut and coffee milk now.
I've got an idea for new filler-week-video: Summarize Europe's capital cities in the same way, please!

Jack Daw great idea. 🇮🇪🇺🇸👏👍
Moving back to Jakarta, Indonesia, I love it when someone mentions “Sioux Falls” cause I ‘ve spent a lot of time and had many memories there. If I am gonna ended up in the United States, I would consider Sioux Falls as a place where I want to live. (Suddenly remember the terrible winter , blizzard, and requires a lot of driving plus the closest big cities are only Rapid City, Omaha and Minneapolis and takes 2.5 to 4.5 hours to get there)
But yeah. I still love this small yet convenient city in the middle of nowhere with bisons that indicate that I have entered SD from Minnesota via I-90)

Here is some more fun facts about Salt lake City
-High School musical was filmed here.
-2002 winter Olympics was hosted here.
Also, and this is totally true, it was home to the first KFC restaurant! But the one got tore down and doesn't exist anymore.
@@emridatla3886 I was wondering about that,i mean i'm from the Netherlands and i'v been in the US, for the first time, last year and we drive by Salt Lake City but didn't had time to stop there but if it's gone than we couldn't find it anyway LOL
@@kcmm1971 Yup, it's now a business park.
@@emridatla3886 LOL Okay then :D
SLC Punk was filmed there?
About Albuquerque: Why on Earth didn't you mention this was the place where Bugs Bunny always made that wrong turn in his travels, Paul? That would have been interesting to note.
Also didnt mention the Weird Al song
This was the comment I was looking for
9:28 Actually Nashville just recently surpassed Memphis as Tennessee's most populous city in May 2017. Memphis was indeed our largest city for decades, however.
Second time a city named Memphis loses its largest city status
Brayden Gaskey who was first egypt?
Providence native here to give you some info about the place. Way too much info, perhaps.
-PVD has a ton of great restaurants. While there is a big Portuguese presence, Italians are probably the most represented ethnicity, and they make pretty good food. There are also lots of nice Asian joints nowadays.
-There's a rich horror tradition; ghost tours are a big thing, Edgar Allen Poe lived here for a time, and Lovecraft is buried in the city. His resting place, Swan Point Cemetery, is really gorgeous in terms of both nature and grand burial statuary. Can't recommend it enough for a stroll or or bike ride in the area.
-It's very much a college town. Brown's influence is unavoidable- they own a huge percentage of the prime real estate, and are constantly building and expanding further still. But it's not the only school; there's a well-regarding culinary school, as well as RISD. The latter college contributes hugely to Providence's status as an arts town; it bills itself as "The Creative Capitol."
-Providence was actually a big deal in manufacturing back in the day. The city and surrounding bergs (looking at you, Pawtucket!) are littered with enormous mill buildings in varying stages of decay. Those that are well-preserved have been converted into pretty cool spaces, but many others are too dilapidated for anyone to try fixing them, and serve merely to contribute to the grimy urban atmosphere. Keep in mind that Rhode Island is super densely populated, beat out in that category only by New Jersey, and most Rhode Islanders live in the Providence metro area; parts of it are just packed, and it feels like a fully-fledged City not all that much smaller than Boston, though Boston dwarfs Prov by a good four or five times.
-The public infrastructure is notoriously bad. Our roads are the worst in the country, as are the bridges I believe; one of the city's celebrated landmarks is an old upright bridge that failed very early on and was never moved from its position. Between that and the weird insular culture here ("I Never Leave Rhode Island" bumper stickers are common), it feels rather backwards and stagnant, despite being forward-looking and inventive in so many ways.
-Providence has an array of top-notch theater companies. If you have the opportunity
, I particularly recommend a theater called the Gamm. Between such high culture, the great dining, and the convenient location between New York and our cool big bro Boston, there's plenty of appeal for well-off city folk. Taxes being what they are, such people are just about all you'll find in a number of neighborhoods.
-There has historically been a huge mafia presence in Providence, and to some extent that's still the case. Faith in local government tends to be low, and compared to neighboring cities this one is notoriously corrupt. One of the most fondly-remembered mayors was a guy with plenty of organized crime connections, who managed to turn the town around for the better in many ways despite his nepotism and cronyism. He was jailed, eventually, and what's really wild is that the man ran for the office again, FROM PRISON, just a few years ago, and was a popular option. Were it not for his death around this time, we Providencers (?) (still not sure what our demonym is) might have been in for an interesting time.
-However, oddly, it's really quite a peaceful place; the annual murder rate is consistently several times smaller than those of nearby metro areas, though given how grim the competition is (Worcester, Bridgeport, Hartford, and their ilk all more or less hellscapes in comparison) I'm not sure how amazing that really is.
-We have awesome libraries. Check out the Athenaeum, you book lovers out there.
-Some huge corporations roost in or near Providence. CVS was founded here, and their stores are inescapable. Perhaps biggest of them all is Hasbro; a lot of people are employed in the world of games and toys and content for children and bronies. Unfortunately Hasbro, along with Brown, the city's prominent hospitals, and a few other parties hold enormous amounts of sway and land, and it's easy to feel like they're the ones who really reap the benefits around here.
-Also, Providence has a lovely children's museum. Can't recommend it enough for the under-10 crowd.
-This is an extremely Catholic city, maybe the most papist in the nation. Clergy have a lot of influence.
-There are also a whole lot of Jews. Many are intellectuals, professors and the like. There are some impressive synagogues in town, in addition to some of America's oldest churches. It's a big (relatively speaking) hub for Unitarian Universalists as well.
Phew, okay, chances are no one will read this whole thing, but it was fun to write. TL; DR- Providence is a kinda cool quirky city marred by stagnation, and while I can't necessarily recommend moving here, it's a place well worth a visit in its own right.
Thank you for this lovely text. I was looking for something like this, like a word from a Providence native when I was writing the eponymous song. After reading this, I felt as if know so much more about your city.
So... check out the song called Providence by Rain Delay.
Very long story short, the song is about a young couple and their romance in a beautiful town in Serbia (yeah, in Europe, neither Siberia nor Syria...) called Novi Sad. Providence here is the nickname for Novi Sad which I made as a portmanteau of the words "promise" and "evidence". However, it is also inspired by your beautiful city which I have never been to, but hopefully will one day.
I’ve been to Providence and I have to say this
Everyone sleeps during the weekends till like 11:00!
Thank you!! The "do something" comment bothered me a little. I am a RI guy who has been around the country. The most common mistake people make when they find out where I'm from is that they think I'm from new york. People think rhode island is part of new york I'm sure because they confuse it with long island. The rt 195 bridge before they changed it back in the 2000's was thee single worst bridge in the world at the time. Mayor Cianci marinara is a very good product btw
Wasnt tv show named Providence? It was aired in my country, never watched it though... i guess it is based in the city of Providence
@@colinafobe2152 I never heard of it. There was a funny movie called "outside providence" that was based there. Watch it sometime if you want to laugh
I’m from jersey and I was afraid he was gonna make Newark sound terrible

Burlington, Vermont is the smallest largest city in the 50 states!
Vermont also has the smallest state capital of any state. There are around 4,000 more people in my suburb of Philly than the state capital of Vermont.
Vermont’s capital Montpelier is the only US state capital to not have a McDonald’s in it.
Mat 727 I can't believe he pronounced Champlain "chap-lain"
My ears still hurt.
Bransen 123 I know right?
Fellow Vermonters
Fun fact about Omaha, NE! When you land at their airport (Eppley Field) and want to head to downtown Omaha, you drive through Iowa.
KibblesnBitts True.
lol looks like Iowa was like "nope" when they drew the border, but the most likely thing that happend was that the Missouri river (was) moved at some point in the city's history
"Ohio, you so crazy."
You're not wrong. My old high school is a former orphanage and it's supposedly haunted...
Ohio technically lacks a largest city, since three cities are essentially tied
gars129
Are you talking about Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus?
CAPace09 No, if anything it would be Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. But, Columbus has more than Cleveland and Cincinnati combine. So, yes gars129, we do have a largest city. Lol
Wow, misread the comment about tied. I thought you meant something like a common metropolitan area... I'm not surprised about the teacher
gars129 we’re not tied at all 💀 cincinnati, columbus, and cleveland are all at about 2 hours or more apart

Now do one on the state capitals, except for the ones that are also the biggest cities
Also nashville is the largest city of tennessee
Blazing Blitzle hehehe as a Memphian I knew you guys were but hey I’m fine with my city being mentioned
I don't think they counted the metro area of NashVegas in the largest city chart.
Shaun Strange Don't call it "Nashvegas" don't be one of those people, it's so cheesy
Dominick Nesbitt, I was in the Tennessee National Guard for a while and that's what we called it. Just a habit, lol.
Actually Memphis is larger!
About Columbus. Their Hockey team, the Blue Jackets, shoots a real cannon every time they score a goal.
You forgot to mention that Shaquille O'neal is also from Newark, NJ! You can't forget Shaq bro come on!
Is he rlly? That’s amazing also kyrie Irving grew up in West Orange, NJ, right next to the town where I live
Newark has a lot of famous ppl
Fun fact about what you said about Nevada, Actually paradise isn’t its own city, Las Vegas valley has 3 cities, North Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Henderson.
When you hear people say paradise or Summerlin or wherever, they’re just parts of Las Vegas, same PD, same mayor, etc
That's why eSwatini changed its name, to get featured sooner on Geography Now!
Virginia's really dumb with cities because most of our towns aren't Incorporated. Alexandria/Arlington/Fairfax is our biggest Metro Area, Richmond is our biggest "urban" feeling city, and Norfolk/Hampton/VABeach is the runner up to both, but in all three more people live on unincorporated county land than in the "cities" themselves.
Earl of Narwhals Alexandria/Arlington/Fairfax are not in Virginia, they’re in NOVA. It’s a separate state.
Indeed it's weird, but it honestly makes for nice suburb living. Only problem is it gets boring after awhile. Even Richmond feels pretty sparse. NOVA is really the only thing that is a totally different beast from the rest of the state.
Virginia is down right bizarre, an anomaly of a state. And while NOVA keeps growing the southern border much of everything south of Richmond is turning into a background shot from the walking dead.
But NOVA is part of the DC metro area its one of the biggest in the country. and HALF of the DC metro area is NOVA.
for real. I live in VA and half of the state is like New England, and the other half is barren wasteland
I live in Sioux Falls. It's beautiful. Very windy at times.
ThePikminMaster6523 I used to live near Sioux Falls. I miss the midwest ;-(
To add on to this. Sioux Falls has lots of people of German descent. The city is growing fast and more and more Hispanics are moving in. Not that much crime, and I think it was voted in the Top 10 Best Cities to Raise your Kids in. If you do come, check out the Falls Park!
I also live in Sioux Falls. I was very excited for this video because I feel like not really anyone knows about how great Sioux Falls is. I would really recommend visiting Falls Park.
3:55 the Bronx is on the mainland, the other 4 are on islands though
3:53 The Bronx is NOT on an island, it is the only New York City borough on the main land!!

The Fargo visitor center in North Dakota has certificates you can buy that say “best for last” because they assume it’s the last state you’ll visit
Never mind that "Fargo" actually took place (and was filmed) in Minnesota.
FYI, Jamestown is almost 2 hours away from Virginia Beach. It's pretty far up the James river
Alex Conrad ikr, when he said that, i was like "its nowhere near jamestown". Lol
Lets be real. Virginia Beach is the largest "city" because it's where all the military personal that work in Norfolk live.
Military and Shipyard workers, yeah. It's a major maritime industry kind of place.
I mean we also have a bunch of military installations here too, not including Oceania
The nickname for Charlotte is Queen City because it was named after Queen Charlotte (wife of king George 3 aka the king that America hated during the revolution) and the hornets is what Cornwallis, commander of the British military gave to Charlotte because of how much the population was hostile. He then called it a hornets nest.
I always thought we were called the hornets because of how many bees there are. I did not know that is why
Charlotte gang
I lived there for years. I don’t remember anyone calling it buzz city
America is a continent, not a country
You forgot Milwaukee is also a festival city.
FYI the Bronx is the only borough that’s attached to the mainland. Manhattan is too technically, as the Marble Hill neighborhood that used to be attached to the island of manhattan was attached to the Bronx by the rerouting if the Harlem River but is still considered part of manhattan!
When you look at the map of Manhattan and Bronx, it is obvious that they were one land mass at one point millions of years ago probably, and erosion or earthquakes caused separation and the formation of the Harlem River
Barb, if you want to do something similar like this, I recommend doing the 48 (so close to 50) ceremonial counties of England. Just an idea. If you want to do all of the UK, Wales has 13, Scotland has 31, and Northern Ireland has 6, totaling 88. Ireland, if you're curious, has 32, making a grant total of 120. Loadsa videos!
You're not wrong about Oklahoma and OKC lol. Lotta Okies treat tornadoes like a life or death thrill ride, rather than a deadly weather event.
OKC is also a major crossroads, with Interstates 35, 40, and 44 running through it. Many people not native to the state or country find their way here, too. Most of them tell me they like the balance OKC strikes of being big, diverse, and vibrant, but not so big it's overwhelming or inescapable.
And Pow wows. Just find one open to the public and go. There's food, music, dancing, art, storytelling, and a whole mess of interesting people.
You forgot the fact that Providence has the most Christians per capita and we have the most Italians. We also have the largest statehouse.
As a New Mexican, we reeeeaaaaallly love green chili and we like it hot
I did not
I love that u love Wisconsin... I'm from there

Burlington has actually gotten a lot more diverse in the past few years because it became a sanctuary city, and there are now entire communities of Somalians, Arabs, and Bosnians
Yep true facts
Jay Saenz how?
Budgorj "Somalians" first mistake
"Arabs" smaller mistake, but still mistake
"Nepalese" not a mistake, maybe the ghurkas will be helpfull
We have both somalians and arabs in France, and it sucks.
Budgorj Wait, even bosnians ? Why do you like to ruin everything, stupid liberals ? We should have let croats finish the job.
Memphis and Nashville have now switched places on the population roster-
3:53 no, the Bronx is **not** on an island. It's the only one of New York's five boroughs that isn't either an island (Staten Island, Manhattan) or is on an island (both Brooklyn and Queens are on the westernmost end of Long Island).
Also, when you use the proper USPS two-letter abbreviation for a state (e.g. "NJ", "NE", "VT") it doesn't have a period at the end of it unless it's used at the end of a sentence.
12:05 it's pronounced "Nor-FULK" not "Nor-folk".
Man, this video has more errors than normal. Who do we blame? Is it Ken? This is all Ken's fault, right?
The Bronx is not on an island, it is almost completely on the North American mainland.
The reason why Memphis has a Pyramid, is because Memphis Tennessee has the similar name to the ancient city of Memphis in Egypt.
That’s my guess.
No, it was originally supposed to be a sports arena for a professional team but then they ran out of money. So bass pro shop came in and it is what it is

You forgot that Omaha has a kick-ass zoo. It consistently gets the #1 spot on best zoos on multiple lists. Henry-Doorly Zoo is what its called.
Probably one of the best zoo's in the US, but it is a bit small compared to some European zoo's, that are pretty good.
Are any of you guys from Omaha?
That’s the glory of living there with the Henry doorly zoo, you can go there all the time.
Used to live near Omaha Nebraska. I moved to the Black Hills of South Dakota in October of 2017. So yeah I know the state and the city.
I live in Lincoln, so if I ever felt like doing a day trip, the zoo is a good excuse. My family used to have a yearly family pass to go there all the time.
Yeah, and they just took our red panda here at the OKC Zoo.. You guys better be nice to Sabi!
Las Vegas is actually one of the most important cities on the topic of architecture. The book called Learning from Las Vegas built a manifesto for what is known as postmodernism. Today, Vegas is seen as an architectural thermometer gauging the most trendy designs that influence the rest of the US.
Zylork0122 Oh God no. The architecture there represents the worst of American architecture. Just a hodge podge of gimmicky buildings with no class or taste. Some of the newer hotels are less garish but they're still not examples of great architecture. I'm all for civic pride but Vegas is a blight on the desert built on depravity. All southwest cities are a middle finger to mother nature.
I’m in agreement with the southwest but that only applies to Los Angles (shots fired), Arizona, and New Mexico. Vegas is extraordinary for its architecture. Please read the aforementioned book.
Zylork0122 Na all cities in the southwest have no reason to exist and are terrible. Millions of humans aren't meant to live in the desert. You are right in that LA is the worst culprit but only because it's the largest, it's at least got SOME rainfall compared to Las Vegas and Arizona. Also is the book written by someone from Las Vegas? Because claiming that postmodern architecture is all due to Las Vegas is a pretty wild claim. I'll read your book if you read "Cadillac Desert"
No, neither Denise Scott Brown and Robert Venturi are from Vegas. They were architecture professors before setting up an architectural practice. Don’t be surprised when you learn more about their teachings resonating from Vegas. Yes, every 7 Eleven’s architecture resonates Vegas. Not to mention Walmart, McDonald’s, and every other business you’ve been to. They’re called decorated sheds, a term coin by the couple and learned from Las Vegas.
Zylork0122 Hmm sounds interesting, I thought you meant it was influential in "high architecture" or whatever label you wanna put on it. I could definitely see it's influence on terrible franchises and big box stores, tackiness is a defining trait of that kind of "architecture" and nowhere is more tacky than Vegas! Sounds pretty interesting I'll have to check thay out.
Yeah if you go to Seattle, you gotta check out Pike Place Market, it's got a lot more than just the men throwing fish at each other, it's a whole building/outdoor area filled with different random shops and local vendors set up on tables everywhere, there's a nice area where you can eat/look out at the Olympic Mountains, and the building has multiple levels with an architecture that is cozy/reminds me of a ship. It's hard to describe, you gotta check it out.
congratulations on 1 million!

I grew up in Fargo! I’m also Scandinavian-American, and yes there are quite a few of us in Fargo. You did pretty well, although I might add that most of us Fargoans are a bit ambivalent toward the Coen brothers’ film. While it put us on the map for many Americans, only the opening scene takes place there, and many assume that we all have the thick Midwestern accent portrayed in the film. Don’t get me wrong, we definitely hang onto our O’s too long sometimes, but mostly we just sound like regular Americans haha

The Utah one isn't wrong. As a Mormon in New Zealand, 'Salt Lake City' is an automatic trigger for any Mormon.
Yep. Interestingly SLC is probably the least Mormon-heavy city in Utah in terms of population.

I'm from Virginia, and I'll talk about Virginia Beach. 1. First of all, I'm not sure why Jamestown is even mentioned since it's like 1.5 hour drive from VB. 2. It's the biggest "pleasure beach" in the world 3. Instead of "bachelor graduates" living there, it's more of a military and shipyard living community, since Norfolk has the biggest shipyard and naval base in US. (Norfolk pronounced: "Nor-fukk" btw.) And not only that, but lots of New Englanders like to visit and live there. 4. As mentioned, lots of recreational and entertainment goes on. Museums, Aquariums, parties, watersports, etc.
Jamestown is even on a another peninsula lol
We have "Buckeyes" in Ireland but we call them conkers.
Sam Edward Barsoum do they ever have a bad fur day?
Alex Croton thats the name of the tree, conkers is the name of the nut.
Buckeyes (the Ohio buckeye trees) are native to Ohio (and surrounding states). They can’t be found (naturally) in Ireland. Did you mean that in Ireland you have actual Ohio buckeye trees or just chestnut trees whose “conkers” are similar to buckeyes?

Providence (well, basically all RI) was basically run by the Mafia for much of the second half of the 20th century. And depending on who you ask, it was the birthplace of diners and food trucks (in about the 1870s some local restauranteurs started selling food to office and factory workers out of wagons parked outside the factories). And oh yeah, Family Guy.
Don't forget Lovecraft
Is the letter "e" in e(E)swatini in lower-case or upper-case?

As someone from Sioux Falls, thanks dude! You were really nice about us!
I drive through Cheyenne once and what stood out to me the most was that for a capital city, all of the streets seemed to be empty and the parking lot at the Chili's near the mall was COMPLETELY packed
As someone who lives in the Providence area, I'm not surprised you don't know anything about it. Here's a fun fact: Rhode Island was the first state to declare independence from England; yes, it was even before Massachusetts. The great majority of the state is within a 20 minutes drive of the ocean, so seafood is everywhere, sailing is huge, we love coffee milk and Del's frozen lemonade and it always feels like you're right near the ocean everywhere. The state has a major inferiority complex both because of the small size as well as the fact that most consider it to be like a kid brother to Mass/Boston.
I thought RI'ers took pride in their small size. You're first in something. Us Californians have to settle for being just the 3rd largest state.
I don't know if pride is the right word for it, but the size definitely affects our outlook. Anything more than a 20 minute drive or so is considered to be interminably long.
9:56 The best city
You should really come to Memphis one day, it's not all BBQ and Blues. We have some pretty cool parks and other places here.

Midtown and Downtown are pretty safe though.
Not safe enough to walk around alone, especially at night of course.
You're right about Seattle. Everything there is expensive, especially parking.

Green chile is life here, the Air Balloon festival is huge internationally, native culture is big here, and the Sandias(the mountains you mentioned) are gorgeous and glow red from the sunset on clear evenings because of its flattish face and straight north-south run. Great summary of this city!
