Hey Chris, next time you're in Illinois, can you cover Sun River Terrace? It's so 3rd world that I saw people living out of tents deep in the woods that border the town. I went at dusk, and it was so terrifying that I hauled ass out of there. There's hardly any information on the internet about this small slice of hell, and I think it deserves recognition. Even the small towns in Kankakee County are blighted. I saw blight in Herscher, too. Can you just do a special on all the small ghettos that aren't part of Kankakee proper?
Not anymore
Your contribution to expanding horizons literally and figuratively is sincerely appreciated. Keep on keeping on. 😎
Thank you so so much for posting this beautiful video and stunning drone footage. Memories from when I visited here in August 1966 at age 14 just came flooding back. We drove here from Chicagoland and I remember seeing the faint line of the Rockies for the first time 90 miles away. Really appreciate how you wove the mountains and the town together. You are a natural at this and you have a way that makes one feel as if they are actually in the car. My two wishes are that as many people possible see this wonderous place and that you Chris discover hundreds more places meaningful for you to visit.
Hi Chris! I am from Denver and once again you did a fantastic job on your research and videography.
I love Estes Park so much, a great little town and so beautiful!
Been to Crested Butte quite a few times in the winter. "Snow---- Lots of Snow---- Then It Snows some more. Great place.
In the summer heat we would drive up to Estes Park from Loveland where we lived. Delightful drive, blessed relief from the heat.
Love Estes Park. Vacationed there with the kids a few times. So fun and beautiful. Highly recommend. We stayed at the Stanley once and at the YMCA once.
And i'm from Flint originally, so i love all those videos you do too!
Thanks Chris!
The shops looked so clean and nice! The streets looked well maintained and the whole town was picturesque.
Great video.
I'll watch in a little bit on my TV. Can't wait.
Nice drone shots and a very interesting video of the town and it's history. I learned something new today so thanks Chris!👍
This is an excellent video of this area. I sort of want to visit, it looks absolutely beautiful! I hope more of these are coming.
What a pretty area. Worth seeing.😊❤
Great video, we went to Estes park when I was13, many moons ago 😊
thanks chris!!! what a beautiful area
I think I went to Estes park five years ago, in august 2018
It's been 33 years since I went there. I bet it changed a bit.
Are you going to do a Telluride video eventually? I went there for my Uncle's and Aunt's wedding back in 2007. Now I know where The Stanley Hotel is! Maybe I should Honeymoon there one day if I ever get married.
If so it’ll be on my archive channel. I don’t get why nobody watches videos on places like this but it is what it is.
Chris H to bartender at the Stanley Hotel: “How long have I been the caretaker here Grady?”
Bartender: “You’ve always been the caretaker Mr Harden” 😮😮
I'm sure it costs a fortune to live there. Only rich people are allowed to live in nice places now.
Yup
In America, yes. Poor places means more bIack people and less people that have class. All the wealthy people, people who enjoy nice things and are worthwhile to talk to moved away a long long time ago.
@@Sina-rw3bl”worthwhile to talk to”? Because they were lucky to be born with silver spoons? Lmao
@@cosmictraveler1146 Its not about their money, or the fact that they were lucky to be born with it. It is about culture and expectations.
Sorry Chris- Estes Park has become one of the biggest tourist's traps in Colorado. Do you like crowds? Do you like shopping for souvenirs,? Is it exciting for you to be around wall to wall people? Are you from Nebraska, Kansas, or Iowa and have never seen the mountains? Then Estes Park is the place for you!
Don’t take any jabs. Geert is right!
I know of may nice places to live but unfortunately you can't make a good living in Paradise. The crappy places will pay good money because no one wants to live and work there.
Often times the beautiful places are more rural, where corporations and businesses set up shop in large metro areas where people live.
I'm pretty rich so me and my hot wifey can afford to live there
Probably , it’s pretty cool
