A “panhandle” is when a state has a long, thin section of land that is kinda separate but still part of the same state. Idaho, Texas, and Oklahoma have panhandles.
Also Florida.
Worth noting that in this context, the word "state" refers to any geopolitical entity. The US certainly has several panhandles between states, but the feature is also very common between nations in Europe, Asia, and Africa. A good example is the southern part of Thailand between Myanmar and Malaysia.
The proper/ academic word for a panhandle is a "salient".
I’m fairly certain the geographic term panhandle originally came from when Texas wanted to join the US but wanted to be a slave state. According to the Missouri Compromise states below the 36th parallel could be slave states but had to be free states ABOVE it. Texas was forced to give up all state land above the 36th parallel which included the Oklahoma panhandle and part of Colorado. That’s why the state of Oklahoma literally looks like a pan.
Doesn't have to be thin. Florida's panhandle isn't thin. Neither is Texas's
@@SonOfMuta they’re thin relative to the rest of the state.
Centralia, Pennsylvania is an interesting rabbit hole. The heat and fire along the coal seams suck fresher air into the shafts and tunnels. I saw some pictures of people going for a walk down a road there years ago. They showed shots of how their sneaker soles were starting to melt from walking over an asphalt road that went over a hot spot.
It's also famously what Silent Hill is based on. I remember looking it up some years ago because I was curious where the inspiration came from.
I grew up 10 miles from there. Been there a bunch of times when it was still a town.
Yes, KCK and KCMo are separated by the Missouri river. A portion of KCMo was the starting point for the Oregon, California, and Santa Fe trails. In fact it was the only real supply point for anyone going west.
Great video. A literary suggestion might be, "How the States Got Their Shapes", a 2009 book by Mark Stein. Lots of interesting stories about the weird little outgrowths many of the states have, and how they happened. It was also turned into a series on the History Channel.
Sounds like an interesting read👍
Some people already made the distinction about whether or not there are two Kansas Cities, but here's some additional information...
Kansas City, Mo., was incorporated in 1853, eight years before Kansas became the 34th state. The Missouri city took its name from the Kansas River - which was inspired by the Kanza People, Native Americans of the Kaw Nation - and was originally called the City of Kansas. It became Kansas City in 1889. Kansas City, Kansas was named after Kansas City, Missouri purposefully. By naming this town after the growing city on the Missouri side of the state line, city leaders in Kansas were able to capitalize on the success of Kansas City, Missouri.
Kansascity native here. There is a Kansascity MO and KS and they are separated by the river as you said, the suburbs and city itself is very different across state lines but it's the same city nonetheless
Thanks so much! I was hoping someone from the area would weigh in
KCK and KCMO
I'm still hung up on how effortlessly he plugged his merch in this video. He was smooth with it
He really was
The word "panhandle" is used to refer to a long, narrow projection of a larger territory that is not a peninsula. In particular, “panhandle” refers to the narrow portion of the state that tugs away from the main state. Although the US has ten panhandles, only nine states have this feature. West Virginia has two panhandles, bringing the number to ten. Source: World Atlas.
Wendover Productions does have some great videos, a lot of them are based on logistics, they also have a second channel called Half As Interesting, where they put shorter videos for topics they couldn’t have made a full length video for.
2 things:
1. to clarify, only a portion of MO and KS are seperated by the River. most of the border can still be crossed on land including part of the border between KcMo and KcK. the MO River also divides all of MO so the two areas in either side don't touch except underwater.
2. I like the nuggets from mickey d's. lol
As a kid I grew up drinking milk with every meal until maybe middle school. My parents would make sure I finished it all too 12:08
Me too. I've not had a glass of milk in 35 years. Never liked it.
In the Netherlands we are the king of bikes, yet slowly were turning fat as well lol
aww
I must say, growing up in the City, we had a panhandle in just down the road, in Golden Gate Park, where I chose to live in the dorms despite my mom working at USF. We'd (my sister and our friends) pop in our mom at work on BART then on to the 5 Fulton to roam around but be home to our homes to make sure that the house was straightened up (during school/summer days) before our mom came home from work. ) Naturally, our friends (my sister's friend and her sister, my friend, would have to go home before our mom got home. Christi and I just had to wait for our mom's call from work and nobody was to be in the new house (we were 12 and 14 and always had a babysitter and our mom worried).
We and Julie and Joyce never did anything wrong. Their mom worked at JC Penney during swingshifts and had to be home to get their little brother and sister anyway but my mom and their mom (both single moms) grew to know one another. We'd spend Christmas Eve.
This is a panhandle I am familiar with. Panhandle park down Masonic or Clayton. Reading your memory here, brought one to my mind as well. Thanks for sharing this Juliet (:
Just found your channel and ended up binge watching some videos. You have a certain kind of intrigue that comes off as genuine and intelligent, which is something that makes these videos interesting to watch with your perspective. Keep it up and thanks from a new fan.
Less, "comes off as",
more, "is".
@@HerbalistGuybrush no gender assumption pls
Alaska has the most coast line of any state. We also have close to a million lakes and fish in most of them. If you split Alaska into two, Texas would be the third largest state.
Your videos are awesone. Love from Anchorage.
Thank you for these Alaska facts!
@@NoProtocol you are very welcome.
There are vast cultural differences sometimes within the same state. Here in FL, the panhandle area is different than central FL, and south FL is different culturally than other parts of FL. Traveling to different states can be quite the interesting journey too.
@J S Yup. I've lived in north, central, and south FL. Pretty diverse state but I was born in GA and spent time in TN and although it can feel like just another city and another store, if you spend enough time in a new city or new state then you'll begin to notice more differences. A lot of people that visit FL as tourists rarely see these differences because tourists typically go to the same few cities that are big on tourism like Orlando, Miami, and maybe Tampa.
I've been to Orlando and lived in the panhandle for 4 years. The panhandle is better imo.
@@TechNextLetsGo Yea, I'd never live in Orlando. It's too much of a tourist driven city for me.
I live in Colorado and didn't know that Colfax was the longest street! I've also driven the long stretch of I-70 through Utah with no gas stations. There are warning signs before the last station telling you to fuel up haha
His reference to "panhandle" was to essentially say "land surrounded peninsula" like the pan handle on Oklahoma. The territory of the state juts out into another state, or between two states. Like a pan's handle.
Think this is the first video we have seen you genuinely blown away
Idaho has 2 area codes now. 208 and 986. 986 was implemented in 2017 as an overlay.
Your face at the two escalator bit and the 11 people at the airport per day is priceless 😍
I live in Louisiana, and whenever I have to travel to New Orleans, if I can I’ll drive across the bridge just for fun. It’s surprisingly a very peaceful drive. Just you, the bridge, and water as far as the eye can see.
The involuntary facial movements when hearing about the earth being on fire in Centralia gave me a laugh.
M-185 is a highway that circles Mackinac Island. The use of motor vehicles is actually prohibited on the island, and it is a major tourist attraction for Northern Michigan.
Every time I look at the map and see where Alaska is, I always think how did the US manage to finesse it of Canada lol
Delawareans usually fly out of Philadelphia International which is between 25 minutes to 2 hours away depending on where you live in the state. From my location it's roughly an hour drive.
Ohioan here. He said Bellafountaine. Its Bell Fountain. Russia is Rooshie. Versailles is Ver-Sales.
I’m from Wisconsin (the dairy state!) so it was common for us to have a glass of milk with dinner growing up
I live in Kansas City. And when a person hears someone is from there, they should assume they mean MO. However, there's a smaller possibility that they are from KS. KC, MO is split by the Missouri River, between it and KC, KS. Most Kansas Citians cross that river each day as part of their commute. It's honestly an awesome city, growing fast, and safe!
Growing up as I did in the 60s and 70s, I think it was unusual to NOT have milk with a meal like lunch or dinner. I can’t remember even eating at friends houses where milk accompany the meal. Occasionally iced tea but very rarely water or soda.
I think I knew almost none of those facts. Very nice presentation and, as you say, smooth transition.
I agree with your dislike of McDonlads as a burger emporium; I've had two of their burgers in my long(ish) life and liked neither!
I love the way you say
"That must be a good burger place! " for the original Burger King. 😊 And I bet you are right.
Just totally love watching this channel
Vermonter here and I'm surprised he didn't mention Ben n' Jerry's, our smallest-biggest city (Burlington), or that (last I heard) our state capitol is the only one without a McDonald's. I'll take the short buildings one though. We have laws that keep developers from building anything taller than 105ft, with just a couple exceptions.
Imagine how insane must be this video for classic european like myself :D
I'm with you on McDonald's. I often boast it's been well over 30 years since I've patronized the poisonous realm.
Fun video.
I'm 32 and i eat McDonald's EVERY day for lunch but I never gain a pound lol in fact I lose weight. It's weird high metabolism I'm pretty skinny 😂
@@johnnylongtwig6398 I am not really against burger places, but frankly I just don't like anything on their menu. I would much sooner go to Wendy's.
I go once a year to remind me why I no longer eat there.
@@O_Towne_Bear cap
At least in my area there are just more McDonalds and they are fast. If i go to Wendys or Burger King i can expect it to take 3-5 times longer to get my food. So McDonalds is fast and reliable.
My family always had a glass of water and milk both at dinner for each person. Family was Irish living in Detroit area, for demographic purposes.
you're very spot on about california. its so huge that people from the north could be different from those in socal. same to those more central like in bakersfield or fresno. it also depends on environments. people in more mountainous areas or more rural areas will obviously be different to those californians living in the city. its fascinating to me as a californian.
"... A full 5 minute wait"
"Run it."
No hesitation. Beautiful.
If I'm correct, they actually do run a Nascar race at Indy now, the Brickyard 500.
Ah thank you! I checked on their website and only saw “indycar” races but I remembered something about NASCAR & wasn’t sure
Very interesting video - lotsa stuff I didn't know!
A panhandle is a skinny part of the state that extends off of the larger part. Maryland, Oklahoma, and Florida all have panhandles. Or just seperate the word and think about it, what's the handle of a frying pan look like.
That little factoid about Green Bay slays me. You have a kid, then what are your priorities? "Let's see, we should get their inoculations and vaccinations done, and get them on the waiting list for the best schools we can find. Oh, and we should probably get them on the waiting list for season tickets to see the Packers, too."
Answering your question about mail trucks and how much in gas: I drive on average 180 miles a day for work in my Toyota tacoma. Uses about half a tank a day for that. Fill up full from empty costs around 50-60 dollars depending on price. So roughly 30 dollars a day. I don't know squat about a mail trucks MPG or how much fuel they hold but I imagine it can't be much different.
Woah, that adds up Steffan. Thanks for answering!
From western Washington. Milk is a a very common drink here to have with any meal, but water is not uncommon. Though while eating out, I'd wager water is common along with soda and milk is very uncommon.
This creator also runs an excellent series where teams claim as many U.S. states as possible in 4 days on a limited budget through completing challenges, with bonuses for larges states.
A panhandle is a narrow strip of land, that is surrounded on all sides except one, by one or more countries or regions. Like the strip of land on the most western part of Oklahoma. As if Oklahoma is a frying pan, and the western strip is the handle of that frying pan. Hence the name.
Must be an older video, since Idaho now has two area codes, 208 and 986. This additional area code went into effect August 5, 2017.
The following nine states have panhandles: Connecticut, Maryland, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Idaho, Alaska and West Virginia has two panhandles.
grew up with 9 siblings, had 4 gal milk delivered every other day, back in the 50's and 60's not one broken bone among any of us to this day and we far from couch potatoes, sports, racing cars, dirt bikes, snow mobiles etc:
I think both Kansas cities were also test markets for google fiber internet. which never launched nation wide.
Yes. There is both a Kansas City, KS and a Kansas City, MO and yes, they are separated by a river
Gotta agree with you on the McDonalds take. I’ll eat it in a pinch, but it’s not what I’d choose. I actually live just a couple minutes drive from a McD’s but I also live just a couple minute walk from a tiny little local burger place that has excellent burgers. Only problem with going to the little burger shop is that they’re only open from 10a-2p and they’re closed on Sundays. They don’t have the prettiest looking burgers but they’re freaking delicious. It’s called the Burger Kitchen and it’s just a little shack on the side of the road with a drive thru. So damn good.
The Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge is officially the longest bridge in the world. It stretches out for no less than 102.4 miles (164.8 kilometres)
Kansas City, Missouri is where downtown is, is the larger of the 2 cities, and yes, technically, where Arrowhead stadium and the Chiefs play football (actually in Independence, MO, a suburb of KCMO). There are 2 rivers seaparating KCMO/KCK, the Kansas River and Missouri River that also separates Kansas City North to Kansas City.....weird, i know 😂 Just never assume a Kansas Citian is from the state of Kansas 😂
Would love to travel every state some day as soon as I finish visiting every county here in the U.K. first 😂
Narratives are what I learn by, but there are narratives everywhere. Geography is just collecting words until you start learning the stories and histories behind the places and people and movements there; and after that it starts to make sense.
Biology and ecology are the same - it really is natural history, a great narrative across time.
In the mid 70s for a school project i mailed a letter to each state asking them for tourist information I think only one state didnt reply.
You are correct about the two Kansas City, both of them.
I’m dead 😂 you confirmed the location by saying Patrick mahomes. That’s my kinda language i could of get it easier then putting it like that 😁😂
Well you are Stephen A. Smith so that checks out
A pan handle for state is a little strip. Texas has a panhandle the little part that goes up
You looked like you hadn't heard of the fire burning underground since the 60's. Look up the Centralia Mine Fire, it's one of the more notable US engineering disasters; up there with the accidental draining of Lake Peignor, Boston Molasses Flood and the horrific Texas City Disaster.
@J S If people were burning trash in a pit that could cause a coal mine to burn as it has then I'd say that qualifies as an (lack of) engineering disaster. One that cost people in that town basically everything.
13:45 the point in virginia that is close to 8 other state captials is actually closer to 9 state captials, they forgot Charleston, WV
Kansas City is split in half by the Missouri River and state line. The larger portion is on the Missouri side.
14:50 I don't think its California's length or size that divides a big portion of its culture, especially if we're talking politics. California, like most of the country, divides its politics based on whether you're talking about one of the major metropolitan areas like Los Angeles, San Fran, San Diego etc. Or whether you're talking about the more rural areas outside of those cities (which makes up a huge portion of California, at least if we're talking about land area.) So much so that there's at least two separate initiatives going on in California that are attempting to separate those parts of California from the metro areas as the metro areas dominate who gets elected in the state.
Texas is one of the easier to understand forms of 'panhandle' in that form. You have west texas, central texas, east/northeast texas, and ALL of those are considered separate entities, and further south, than the "Panhandle" which is that area at the top that butts into Oklahoma's space.
Kansas City Missouri and kansas City kansas.. I live in kansas City kansas. Actually 2.5 miles from downtown kansas City Missouri. Kck. Has 170.000. Kcmo has 435.000. But on the Kansas side there's more people in the metro being overland Park has 350.000. Johnson county kansas has half population of the metro. Depends on who gives population on metro which is close to three million.
it’s definitively “app-uh-latch-uh,” it’s root is from the Apalachee tribe of the Muskogean people. They lived in the Tallahassee area, just down the road from here in Destin. In my experience, the further from Northern Florida you get, the more common the “app-a-lay-sha” pronunciation gets.
Nascar has been racing at Indy speedway since 1994 and have been racing on the road course that Indy car races on since 2021
Agree with the mom and pop burger joints!
Hey. "Hi Ren". Love your channel.
Listened to this while cooking myself a late night vegan burger. Always a pleasure
I like vegan burgers too
I’d recommend Kings and Generals for History stuff. Although they mostly cover military history they have solid scripting and animation that I think you’d like
we been sleeping on mcdonalds real estate
“Run it!” I’m in love with this woman.
I like the suggestion about how the states got their shapes. One story about that is “the Toledo war.” The strip of land at the border of Michigan and Ohio. It was so in dispute that both governors sent the state militias to defend it. An agreement was reached and crisis averted.
I agree. I don't eat when friends need a stop at mcdonalds after drinking, I have dry bread at home. Would much rather have a proper burger
Kansas City is in MO and KS separated by the Missouri River, for at least most of it anyways.
My father treated milk like it was an essential nutrient, so I was forced to drink it with Sunday dinner. I, like you am now a water person, but when I was young, I probably preferred Kool-Aid.
If I'm not mistaken, Kansas city is called overland park on the kansas side of the border.
The mail trucks will spend between 800-1k a month in gas
1:11 No, you're right. While Kansas City, MO is the bigger Kansas City (and hence the Kansas City everyone thinks of when they think of Kansas City), there is a Kansas City, KS on the opposite bank of the Missouri River.
6:15 I would rate the claim that Washington was originally called Columbia as mostly false. While it is true that the bill that would become the Organic Act of the Territory of Washington originally proposed the the territory be called the Territory of Columbia, it was amended to name it the Territory of Washington before the bill even left its house of origin.
pan·han·dle: (often in place names) a narrow strip of territory projecting from the main territory of one state into another state.
I read this twice and I’m still.. unsure lol thanks Wil!
@@NoProtocol panhandle, named such because it's shaped like a handle on a pan for cooking.
Damn, they did my home state Arizona dirty. There was so much they could've brought up. The Grand Canyon, the Biosphere 2, the Saguaro cactus, the copper mines, the massive city size. But nah, they just named a small town and said it was a four corner state.
LMFAOOO ‘ RUN IT ‘ took me out lmfaooo
This video was sponsored by The Great Courses; excellent company. I have purchased several of their courses on DVD. They're well made, a great (sorry) source of learning in whatever you'd think of. You seem like someone who would enjoy checking them out. Plenty of courses to interest you, including history.
Lol Charles, we are thinking alike because right after posting the video I was on their website seeing what they were about
@@NoProtocol I bought courses faster than I could watch them, unfortunately, and I have a backlog to catch up on.
I got Malcolm in the middle vibes with the milk during dinner point!
At lunch i always eat ryebread with 1 Liter of milk :D I heard many people calling me a psycho for the simple fact i drink alot milk as an adult. I just simply love it, and grew up with a lot of milk like the rest of scandinavia :D
Wow, I can't believe Peachtree City made it in this video. I live there!
I'm so sorry, but I am distracted by that picture there behind your head, what an event THAT would be! To be in that room with all those dead stars as they do their own thing, and to see them perform all those familiar classic songs we all know and love so well!
I love how you said burger shop.
It would be fun to see you react to Comedian Mitch Hedberg. His random and constant non sequitur jokes are amazing. I think you would enjoy it
Not Just Bikes has lots of opinions on what makes cities liveable and good support for biking and public transportation is essential, and is something that requires effort but most places can do it, it's not just a fluke that e.g. Amsterdam is good for bikes
11:56 NASCAR does run races at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
OMG. Steak, mashed potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, bread & butter with ice-cold MILK. Heaven. 😂
I drink lots of milk at most meals…. Love your channel….. and your smile.
A state's "panhandle" is the part of the state that can be picked up like a frying pan. The Oklahoma panhandle is the best example. I and others would not say that West Virginia has a panhandle, just two long fingers. I say this because I have met a girl from one of those fingers and that is what she refers to it as, and who am I to argue.
After my moms initial scare that I was lactose intolerant passed (I'm mostly scandinavian, that would be like a royal not being inbred), it was customary in our household to have a glass of milk with every meal.
Yes I was born in Kansas City Kansas. Wyandotte County area code 913
as a european I always found interesting how "arkansas" is not said in the same way as "kansas"
I just said “ar-kansas” out loud
How is it not obvious that Arkansas is Ar-can-saw😂
Calling it “Ar-Kansas” is something of an insult used against them in sports
