My hometown. At 69, I've been in a few of those downtown buildings still standing. My mother, born in 1930, always lamented the theatres they tore down. I remember the Metropolitan from childhood. Foley's at that point had Christmas windows that everybody came downtown to see. Ah, Houston.
After the great storm we had to relocate to Houston. Still remember walking along Buffalo Bayou full of sadness because we had lost our home. They built nice university buildings on Main street along the bayou. I enjoy walking there every evening.
My dad was an usher at The Majestic Metro downtown when he was in high school. It’s now an event hall. My daughter got married there in 2021. Full circle moment.
I've been to Houston several times. Traffic there is unlike any other place I've visited. You better lead, follow or get outta the way! Drivers in Houston mean business! Haha Cheers
@@scottsmith6643 Yes, traffic there in 1980s when I lived 3 years there was terrible during rush hour home after work. My exhaust was loud and police would pull beside me and tell me to fix it over the PA system on Freeway, instead of pulling us over to ticket, never was pulled over and ticketed, but once ticket came by mail from camera on Freeway. I started part time through a temporary work service at a Shell Oil Gas Station in downtown Houston that was one of a dozen owned directly by Shell Oil Company as model stations to show to franchise owners around the nation, then Shell Oil Company offered to hire me to become manager of their stations, I was hired by Shell Oil Company directly on their payroll with great benefits package, but pay was too low, so I resigned from Shell Oil Company to get an Associates Degree from Universal Technical Institute (UTI) branch in Houston in Auto and Diesel Technology, decided not to go further for Aviation Jet Engines.
My grandfather spent his life in the military and, every time he came to visit my family in Houston, he'd claim no other city in the US or Europe had drivers as impatient and angry as in Houston. He said it like that was a bad thing lol. But I think the weather is to blame for the driving style. Bf car AC, folks had to keep moving so they didn't melt. Then AC came around but the driving didn't mellow out. That's my theory ;)
@@sixmax11no they didn’t. Houstonians are from Houston. Lot of Louisiana folks never went back after Katrina. There’s people from everywhere, but never heard of too many folks from ATL in Houston
You can drive for in one direction for over an hour and still be in Houston. It's huge and the people of thus city come together organically when there's a need for it. We even let Houstons little cousin Louisiana move in after Hurricane Katrina.
Thankyou for this History lesson on Houston. I had never heard about most of the History you brought to light in this video. I am sure most of the people who just like me call Houston home have little to no idea about any of this history you spoke on in this video. You always bring the best images and details in your videos, and I am greatful.
Young man, you are over the target. I aporeciate your ability and willingness to summerize the larger picture for those who are just waking and need some help connecting the dots. You are good at this and i hope you continue. Thank you! 👍🎯
As a 6th generation native Texan and being born in Houston, this video is appreciated and it makes me sad. There is no way I could ever live in Houston again. I call the wild, Wild West of Texas home now. ❤️
@@billysgarden-u9sApparently Houston won big and actually didn’t lose a single thing, except for your racism. And thee SHEER audacity!! As if the Mexican and native people weren’t here LONG LONG before you were. You have a sickness. 🤦♂️ So Aloha 🏝️ . Glad you’re Hawaii’s problem now.
Houston was never called Harrisburg. John Harris of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania acquired the lands at the confluences of Brays and Buffalo Bayous in 1822 and founded the town of Harrisburg in 1826. In 1836 the Allen Brothers of Sullivan, New York bought lands about 8 miles upstream along the west bank of the confluences of White Oak and Buffalo Bayous and named their new town Houston after General Sam Houston. In 1926 Houston annexed Harrisburg.
Most semblance of Harrisburg is gone. My uncle worked for Harrisburg Bank in the 60s and early 70s. My grandparents lived in Park Place. West U was smart to not be annexed. My mother always said Park Place and West U were so similar until Park Place was annexed. 🤷🏻♀️
@@markdenard7400 I can understand the pride in heritage and even a degree in what you were taught, but fact are the truth and that is what sets us free and apart from fiction of reality. Perusing truths is a honorable and noble endeavor. Park Place is very close to Harrisburg and I can see the connection, but back in the 1830's Houston and Harrisburg were two separate very small towns that were 6 miles apart and 8+ miles on Buffalo Bayou. It is amazing that this fact was ignored in HISD, back in the 60s & 70s. I was raised in SBISD in the 60s & 70s (about 18 miles apart) and was not taught the same as you. I find this interesting.
Good comment, Do you remember watching the weather ball on top of the Gulf build? It changed color depending on weather conditions. There was a simple song we all sang to remind us what the colors meant.
My great grandfather was a trolley car operator on Washington ave. My dad even helped put marbles in the beer can house driveway. I watched highway 290 being built.
Jared look up Marcell Foti he recognized something I don't think anyone else has. This stuff called Natron, the way I understand it is that Natron is some form of salt usually in a dried up lake I guess. But anyway the really intriguing thing is that there are always so called underground cities near the unlimited amounts of Natron. And he figured out that if you bake granite with Natron and charcoal the granite disintegrates into particulates and this substance called water glass. it is a transformed substance it used to be quarts crystal
I rafted down the buffalo bayou a few times through downtown. The buildings along the banks near the old docks have brick windows and doorways peaking out from underneath the water. I always found that interesting.
Always good stuff Jared! Thank you for your time and energy in finding incredible information and some of the best Imagery that's been discovered!😊 ✨ God Bless You and yours! 🙏🏻❣️🙏🏻 Btw....may I please ask which state you're from? I have an idea... but not sure. 😊
Through online family trees I found a branch of my dad's dad's family that went with Austin from Germany in 1800s, and my name sake back in Austria is Chairman of EUMC. There was a massive organized effort to colonialize Texas and take it from Mexico by Austin and German King, similar to France and England in Canada. That's likely why Germans and German King were attacked by America between Civil War and WW1. The descendants in Austin told me they know we are related, but they don't want to reconnect with European relatives nor myself because I recognize our family were among Jews in Germany that got citizenship in Germany in early 1800s just before many converted to Lutheran to immigrate to USA.
Also found family members of Hahn family related to Otto Hahn that split uranium atom in 1938, that married into the Austin family. One such marriage I found located living presently in Anchorage Alaska where I located the surviving members family records he donated to Alaska Museum. I can have access for research, but really I think I need help with it to get capture everything it likely contains. Hahn family also married my dad's dad's family as planned marriage in Germany 1920s, and both immigrated to USA to get married in 1928 in Milwaukee Wisconsin.
I found my dad's name sake that was a student of Emile Fischer in Germany 1917, I purchased a copy for research purposes of his German language notebook I found in archive records in Berkeley University. Holocaust Museum also helped me with dad's family records after WW2 in Europe with applications for emigration from Germany, but Austria was inviting them to stay there protected, that prevented some members from following others from same family not invited to Austria. Looks like some kind of sorting out of families occurred.
We moved to Houston in 1968. Such memories. It was a great time to live there. I wouldn’t want to be baptized in Buffalo Bayou, though. We lived on the bayou. It was much cleaner and full of wildlife.
I grew up in Houston..... thank you.. beautiful city...seems like a lot of the buildings 4-5 Stories Tall were already here in 1830"s .....His-Story is a mystery
Wie überall die alten Städte standen wir wissen nicht einmal wie sie es bauten.Aber das was man weiß ist das viele Weisen Kinder mit Zügen kahmen mit Schiffen und sie wurden überall gebracht. Sie haben auch in Fabriken gearbeitet, davon gibs Fotos.Absichtlich wurde alles überflutet damit neue angesiedelt werden.Die Reichen und mächtigen machen was sie wollen.Und Wir sind wie Fische im Aquarium 😂die nicht aus unsere Komforzone rauskommen. Erinnern sie sich an die Kohlkopfkinder, wenn sie nicht Wissen kann man sich informieren.
Excellent Work! You know more than you say.....there is a lot of disclosure in this one. I'm a native Houstonian and passionate about its history ....the correct history. I read between the lines better than I do the printed ones. 🤣 All those cables and tech, colossal stone buildings...with horse and wagon on dirt streets...🤔 I think the capital was moved to Austin because Stephen F Austin discovered an abandoned building that is our capitol building today. Just a feelin'😏
I used to work for Southwestern Bell/ AT&T Inc. I've been wondering when the Central Office/ telephone exchange (different names for the same thing) on Clay St., and the Jefferson Tool buildings, were first built. Undoubtedly, "Bell" street was named for the telephone company, and is on the other side of the Central Office. You show the photo, "First telegraph lines in Houston, 1860. While AT&T did stand for "American Telephone & Telegraph Co.", according to the AT&T website, "In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. That was the foundation of the company that would become AT&T..." So the company hadn't even been founded yet. Plus, you don't need a telephone exchange building for anything as simple as a telegraph. At time 3:50, you mention that the "electric telegraph" wasn't invented until 1837, by Cook & Wheatstone - thank you. I never knew that. Then comes the photo of "Main street near corner of Texas Avenue, 1884". It shows lots of telephone lines on the left side of the street. (Presumable electric lines on the right side. Though no street lights in sight.) Telephone service would have been likely all local, in those days, with no ability to call "long distance". Back in those days, they needed one pair of wires for each telephone. That's why you see stacks and stacks of crossbars on those old telephone poles. Nowadays, of course, multiplexing ("pair gain", in telephone-speak) eliminates the need for that, plus they use telephone cables, and not a separate wire-pair, to go from the buildings with the multiplexer to your back yard. I looked for the tall Jefferson Toll building (located on Jefferson St, and the terminus of long distance telephone calls), but either I missed it, or it simply wasn't shown in any of the photos. After about 1955, the telephone companies switched from using coaxial ("coax") cable to those big, ugly 20' tall microwave antennas, for long distance telephone service, so any photos of the AT&T Jefferson Toll building should have been obvious. (Fiber optic cable and satellite service killed off those big old microwave antennas, for long distance telephone calls. I see that they have been removed from the roof of Jefferson Toll building. Probably around 2015.) Oh well. Very interesting video! I enjoyed watching it very much! Learned lots of stuff!
I also noticed these things. Lots of fake news in this video. He probably got his images and text from the A.I. bot to make a quick video for money. For coin in his pocket.
They put a lot off interestingly placed chimney's and roofs for hot Texas in these pictures. Thanks for the city history and architecture love like always, Jarid!
The Karankawa actually made themselves extinct purposely, though apparantly a few mixed tribes do exist. They were also cannibals to their captives. You forgot to mention Astroworld lol. Love the pics and info thank you!
@@Voiceoverguyfromch Actually I lived in the area for a long time. Old books ( Aransas: Life of a Texas Coastal County) had witnesses discussing this. It happened.
This was really fascinating and I enjoyed the pictures! It was cool to see how everything started in downtown Houston and continuously spread out further and further over time. It's crazy how this city is still growing! I think this is why we Houstonians say "don't come here, we're full!" Jokes aside it was cool to see Binz st, I lived there about a couple of years ago
I saw some videos of native American Indians in MI. spoke perfect Hebrew language. So it makes sense water ways was the major relocation routes of Tribes of Israel mixed with the earlier past global Tartarian Empire or Moor Empires ?
Yeah the language and writings were here. In the 1800’s when Indians (blacks) same same were forced to go to school they would be taught English and forced not to speak another language. They would also take slaves from different states to other states so they wouldn’t reclaim their land and would be less likely to escape in a foreign state
@cesarparra4429 they why are they in the NBA nfl and one is married to Jay Z. Not all we're eliminated. Look into the tribes of Louisiana and Texas. There was all different types of groups also the buffalo soldiers wouldn't have existed if they were eliminated by white settlers. Let's not forget the obvious historical facts on the Texas rest stops throughout this whole state.
This Video was Dope Btw, I had to sit on it for a week 🤣. As kids we all got to watch the video at the IMAX The-Ater,🤣 and I still remember the narrator saying “BORN ON THE BANKS OF THE BUFFALO BAYOU” and the indoctrination ensued 😂. NGL I drank the szzrp 🤓🥸 I love my city, even if it is steeped in masonic occultism 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you Jared for introducing to me to the true story. I now have new eyes to see the banks of the canals that hold the current going to the sea society will cherish you because you made their minds run free. 🎉
I was born there and still live only 60 miles away. The funny thing is I recognized the Main Street bridge going over Buffalo Bayou in those old postcards from way before the jail and U of H were built. My mom grew up two miles north of there between Main and Fulton.
There is a video on RUclips about this it is on the channel Matt Beal limitless you have to watch it he says there is a test that can be done that definitively proves if a rock is geopolymer or a genuine rock. This is mind bending what's next, are we going to see the firmament crack open
What do you mean? *EVERYDAY* tens of thousands of people who work downtown jam those tunnels to eat at the scores of restaurants or to go to the barber or to drop off dry cleaning "...no one ever talks about" What crap!
As a forth generation Houstnian I loved the great times in Houston as a child Life was I said was fantastic Most my family worked in city hall surveyors health dept and gulf oil I have a picture of my sis n grandma in front of the astrodome before it's opening @1965
I am a member of the Allen family that founded Houston. I now live down here on Galveston Island. Just like my Great Great Great Gandfather John Kreby Allin, I think there is a time to move on, so I left Houston for good. I love Houston and wish it the best of luck.
14:35 you stated "George Kessler helped design Herman Park." Now I have a photo of my great grandfather "George Kessner" standing in front of the Sam Houston statue in Herman Park around the 1920s or 30s.. I'm going to have to do a little research into this because I am wondering if it is him you are talking about. My family has always lived in the Rice University area.
The archive war is very interesting, as well as the massive exodus of Houston Jewish population followed by an incorporation of creole pop into elite positions in Houston society
When Houston lost the Oilers and Astroworld that’s when Houston took the downward turn to where it is today in 2024 I’ve lived in Houston all my life since I was born here in April 1968
My mother came to Texas and Houston in the early 1950's. I have a poll tax receipt from her to vote.At 18:20, the Esperson Building is under construction of the left side of the photo. Seen at top with roman columns and round top.
My grandfather moved to Houston and had my dad and raised him there. I lived near it in Katy for many years. I literally cannot stand Houston. It’s too congested and the drivers will plow you down if you’re not going 15 miles over the speed limit. I could see the past few years, Houston was throwing up in to Katy…so I moved out even further away.
Secondary note if you noticed the time date that he said 1780 to 1800 or 1830 or 17 that’s the time when a lot of other cities were completely empty. The rapture already happened.
@@jeffscricket23 Don't forget that Catholic Spain and Protestant Germany were fighting over Holy Roman Empire in Europe since 1500s, and Thirty Years War of 1617-1648.
My children's great grandmother lived off of Navigation in the 1920's. She wore a hat with a large sharp hat pin. When men would grab her on her butt while waiting to cross the street, she would stab them with her hat pen lol.
She stabbed my greatgrandfather in his hand, he was known to be quite the horndog. It got infected, they ended up amputating his arm at the elbow, from then on his name was "Lefty".
the recent hurricane was said to have shut down a lot of towers in the area, i believe light and all, i think a helicopter recently crashed into one of them.
It blew my mind when I read it as well. Granted roughly 30 square miles are water, but if you look at the list of largest cities by area, Houston really stands out.
@1:55 The MOORS building. Morris name came from moor. I’m glad other people are looking into real history. We were here for so long and they took advantage of our kindness and eventually stole the land and moved into our houses. Diseases were spread intentionally. It was a slow process not over night. We were too trusting back then. That’s all I can say
@willbass2869 ignorance to history of language and where humanity came from has always been their strength. The sun and the inability to have kids will continue to do it's job.
@Speed00007 you have the ability. Don't look like it's working out to well. Disease spreading can't help you. And all those giants playing sports on TV won't be on your side. TX about to turn up the temp. I wonder which person that doesn't have melanin will begin to cook. Theres always Norway or Billy Gates farm land to move to instead of always trying to move to where the melanin is to enjoy the food entertainment music. The greatest fear is that we abandon yall. TX is 60% melanated. The pride peaked and now continues your downfall.
I can tell this guy must had not taken 7th. grade Texas history, misprouncing local Indian tribe names-Karawrakawa and Atakapaw. I bet he would pronounce Caddo as Ca-do!

I looked for the tall Jefferson Toll building (located on Jefferson St, and the terminus of long distance telephone calls), but either I missed it, or it simply wasn't shown in any of the photos. After about 1955, the telephone companies switched from using coaxial ("coax") cable to those big, ugly 20' tall microwave antennas, for long distance telephone service, so any photos of the AT&T Jefferson Toll building should have been obvious. (Fiber optic cable and satellite service killed off those big old microwave antennas, for long distance telephone calls. I see that they have been removed from the roof of Jefferson Toll building. Probably around 2015.)
Oh well. Very interesting video! I enjoyed watching it very much! Learned lots of stuff!
I also noticed these things. Lots of fake news in this video. He probably got his images and text from the A.I. bot to make a quick video for money. For coin in his pocket.
hands full of thumbs ! Gratitude Jared ...
They put a lot off interestingly placed chimney's and roofs for hot Texas in these pictures.
Thanks for the city history and architecture love like always, Jarid!
❤ from SE Texas ❤
It does get cold here, ya know! Lol
The Karankawa actually made themselves extinct purposely, though apparantly a few mixed tribes do exist. They were also cannibals to their captives. You forgot to mention Astroworld lol. Love the pics and info thank you!
The Karankawa & (what was the other tribe? ) I found fascinating to hear about!!
That’s not real information man that’s some fake history. Shit we never heard about the Kawa. That’s a weird stuff man that’s all weird.
@@Voiceoverguyfromch Actually I lived in the area for a long time. Old books ( Aransas: Life of a Texas Coastal County) had witnesses discussing this. It happened.
I really appreciate your work, Jarid! Beautiful and disturbing. Distinctive, too. Thank you 😊
This was really fascinating and I enjoyed the pictures! It was cool to see how everything started in downtown Houston and continuously spread out further and further over time. It's crazy how this city is still growing! I think this is why we Houstonians say "don't come here, we're full!" Jokes aside it was cool to see Binz st, I lived there about a couple of years ago
It took me awhile to realize this pronunciation of Karankawa. It's not "Karen- kawa" but instead "ka-RON-ka-WA".
🙏🍩 Love from Scotland 🍩🙏
More history that doesn’t really make sense. Great pics and great video Mr booster
What doesn't make sense?
my town 💘
Great pictures
Though the stories are crazy
Thankyou for sharing. Loved the history and pictures .
Great to know that the Buffalo bayou served as a baptismal
That seems so gross now
It really does put things into perspective, doesn't it?
imagine living in houston before air conditioning
I saw some videos of native American Indians in MI. spoke perfect Hebrew language. So it makes sense water ways was the major relocation routes of Tribes of Israel mixed with the earlier past global Tartarian Empire or Moor Empires ?
atlantes tartaria us tribes of israel looking like
just a different timeline
of us.
Yeah the language and writings were here. In the 1800’s when Indians (blacks) same same were forced to go to school they would be taught English and forced not to speak another language. They would also take slaves from different states to other states so they wouldn’t reclaim their land and would be less likely to escape in a foreign state
Lets not be naive Native Americans were eliminated by white settlers and in the Texss Revolution Revolution.
@cesarparra4429 they why are they in the NBA nfl and one is married to Jay Z. Not all we're eliminated. Look into the tribes of Louisiana and Texas. There was all different types of groups also the buffalo soldiers wouldn't have existed if they were eliminated by white settlers. Let's not forget the obvious historical facts on the Texas rest stops throughout this whole state.
@@cesarparra4429 alex jones said tonight that texas lost the their revolution.
Hey! Home sweet home!! ❤
Hurricane Beryl was the last hurricane.
This Video was Dope Btw, I had to sit on it for a week 🤣. As kids we all got to watch the video at the IMAX The-Ater,🤣 and I still remember the narrator saying “BORN ON THE BANKS OF THE BUFFALO BAYOU” and the indoctrination ensued 😂. NGL I drank the szzrp 🤓🥸 I love my city, even if it is steeped in masonic occultism 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you.
Great video, as always, but you don't actually believe a man landed on the moon do you?
The big boom in development in Houston occurred after the great storm hit Galveston, TX in 1900!!!
❤we are native americans to Texas . My folks been here forever
Im really confused right now. Thinking what year we are really in.
Where are we and when did it all began 🤯
Thank you Jared for introducing to me to the true story. I now have new eyes to see the banks of the canals that hold the current going to the sea society will cherish you because you made their minds run free. 🎉
I was born there and still live only 60 miles away. The funny thing is I recognized the Main Street bridge going over Buffalo Bayou in those old postcards from way before the jail and U of H were built. My mom grew up two miles north of there between Main and Fulton.
4th generation Houstonian here!
There is a video on RUclips about this it is on the channel Matt Beal limitless you have to watch it he says there is a test that can be done that definitively proves if a rock is geopolymer or a genuine rock. This is mind bending what's next, are we going to see the firmament crack open
There are also massive tunnels under Downtown Houston no one ever talks about.
What do you mean?
*EVERYDAY* tens of thousands of people who work downtown jam those tunnels to eat at the scores of restaurants or to go to the barber or to drop off dry cleaning
"...no one ever talks about" What crap!
Yes, stories involving tunnels are quickly buried. You barely hear about the the NYC tunnels after certain people were busted using them recently.
@@willbass2869calm down dude it's not that serious

🤔🛸🚀🛸When did the aliens come
Houston, we have a problem
I think Houston has overtaken Chicago for the third largest city I really do
As a forth generation Houstnian I loved the great times in Houston as a child Life was I said was fantastic Most my family worked in city hall surveyors health dept and gulf oil I have a picture of my sis n grandma in front of the astrodome before it's opening @1965
Allen's Landing was a big dope spot for a long time. Junkies everywhere. Yeah, I know Houston.
I am a member of the Allen family that founded Houston. I now live down here on Galveston Island. Just like my Great Great Great Gandfather John Kreby Allin, I think there is a time to move on, so I left Houston for good. I love Houston and wish it the best of luck.
It's an unbelievable story.
The truth usually is....hence, the stigma with the term, ""conspiracy theory ".
👍
Yeah , like when did the aliens come 🤔🛸🚀🛸
Is that I-45 and the Coliseum at 18:00? Second to last photo?
14:35 you stated "George Kessler helped design Herman Park." Now I have a photo of my great grandfather "George Kessner" standing in front of the Sam Houston statue in Herman Park around the 1920s or 30s.. I'm going to have to do a little research into this because I am wondering if it is him you are talking about. My family has always lived in the Rice University area.
The archive war is very interesting, as well as the massive exodus of Houston Jewish population followed by an incorporation of creole pop into elite positions in Houston society
Beaumont is where this all started in 1901 with the Lucas Oil Spindletop discovery, but unfortunately Houston is where it went.
When Houston lost the Oilers and Astroworld that’s when Houston took the downward turn to where it is today in 2024 I’ve lived in Houston all my life since I was born here in April 1968
"DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS"
My mother came to Texas and Houston in the early 1950's. I have a poll tax receipt from her to vote.At 18:20, the Esperson Building is under construction of the left side of the photo. Seen at top with roman columns and round top.
I live near Houston and work in and around Houston.... its a shithole nowadays
4th generation Houstonian and know it like the back of my hand.
At 14:55 a cow pulling a street car? That is a first Jarid!
Hi Jarid, can you please do a video on Old World oregoncity oregon
Schmeltzer Building and Alamo are San Antonio just to clarify
My grandfather moved to Houston and had my dad and raised him there. I lived near it in Katy for many years. I literally cannot stand Houston. It’s too congested and the drivers will plow you down if you’re not going 15 miles over the speed limit. I could see the past few years, Houston was throwing up in to Katy…so I moved out even further away.
Houston...Hew Stone
Secondary note if you noticed the time date that he said 1780 to 1800 or 1830 or 17 that’s the time when a lot of other cities were completely empty. The rapture already happened.
5:18 it snows in Houston? Maybe the pic is in the wrong folder?
❤ from SE Texas ❤
Yes, it snows in Houston, on occasion.
71 yo native Houstonian here. I thoroughly enjoyed your video presentation! I learned a lot! I remember when the Astrodome opened!
F_ck yeah! GREAT JOB myboy!😊
In 1898 we were fighting a World War with Spain - across the Pacific Ocean and throughout the Caribbean - in BATTLESHIPS.
But do you know who Spain was back then? Morocco
@@jeffscricket23
Don't forget that Catholic Spain and Protestant Germany were fighting over Holy Roman Empire in Europe since 1500s, and Thirty Years War of 1617-1648.
73 years in Houston for me.
H-Town 🤘
❤🔥💚🔥❤️
HOUSTON: “It’s old. Bulldoze it”.
4:23 - All these years they've been lying to me about Texas history. They always told me The Alamo was in San Antonio!
The pictures of Alamo Convent and Hugo & Schmeltzer are of San Antonio, not Houston.
The Alamo Convent was in San Antonio. That pic is of the actual Alamo and a building in San Antonio, not Houston.
My children's great grandmother lived off of Navigation in the 1920's. She wore a hat with a large sharp hat pin. When men would grab her on her butt while waiting to cross the street, she would stab them with her hat pen lol.
She stabbed my greatgrandfather in his hand, he was known to be quite the horndog. It got infected, they ended up amputating his arm at the elbow, from then on his name was "Lefty".
Fake news! No one wanted to grab her swampy but in the Houston hot weather. Fantasies can become a disease.
If you think about it texas can become it's own country but we don't want to, we always be part of America. 🇺🇸
the recent hurricane was said to have shut
down a lot
of towers in the area, i believe light and all, i think a helicopter recently
crashed into
one
of
them.
The helicopter crashed into an antenna not a tower if you’re talking about the one that just happened
670 square miles?? That can’t be right ???
It blew my mind when I read it as well. Granted roughly 30 square miles are water, but if you look at the list of largest cities by area, Houston really stands out.
Westmoreland 1900's looks pretty much the same today.
@1:55 The MOORS building. Morris name came from moor. I’m glad other people are looking into real history. We were here for so long and they took advantage of our kindness and eventually stole the land and moved into our houses. Diseases were spread intentionally. It was a slow process not over night. We were too trusting back then. That’s all I can say
Kooky black Hebrew nonsense, I see
And we'll do it again given the chance.
@willbass2869 ignorance to history of language and where humanity came from has always been their strength. The sun and the inability to have kids will continue to do it's job.
@Speed00007 you have the ability. Don't look like it's working out to well. Disease spreading can't help you. And all those giants playing sports on TV won't be on your side. TX about to turn up the temp. I wonder which person that doesn't have melanin will begin to cook. Theres always Norway or Billy Gates farm land to move to instead of always trying to move to where the melanin is to enjoy the food entertainment music. The greatest fear is that we abandon yall. TX is 60% melanated. The pride peaked and now continues your downfall.
@@KDragon1117 "the sun...will do its job?"
What nonsense are you blabbering about
Old world is fascinating! Those stone buildings they say were built in the 1800s were built by a civilian not talked about in the history books.
There is a lot of crazy of shit here!! Tartaria was here
Wow! Houston seems to just need to be for commerce reasons! There is something under the surface ground in Houston! Could it be natural gas wells?????
I don’t know how anybody lived in Houston, or anywhere along the Gulf Coast in the summer, before air conditioning or electric fans.
I can tell this guy must had not taken 7th. grade Texas history, misprouncing local Indian tribe names-Karawrakawa and Atakapaw.
I bet he would pronounce Caddo as Ca-do!
If we’re talking about Houston on this video why are there pictures of the Alamo?
