Did you mention that Winston Churchill's mother was born in Brooklyn?

cuse is so much more thn what's called cuse from the lake boys in Liverpool to the hoods and burns of solvay to the mid range sports crazy canillus remich Fayetteville they all might as well by neighborhoods of s big city like u go to s real city out neighborhoods just like your suburbs

I once lived there, on White's Place.

Great video of a wonderful city that rarely gets any good publicity.

While Griffiss is no longer an airbase, it would be interesting if Space Force would set up shop there?? 🤔🤔🤔

Had the Mets defeated The Artificial Dodgers in '24 and advanced to the World Series, pound for pound watching how badly the Yankees played, the Mets who carry the true spirit of Brooklyn would have defeated the Evil Empire. Ironically, the Mets swept the Yankees in 4 regular season games in '24. "Wait Till Next Year"! 😊 Somewhere in the Afterlife my grandparents and my aunt Rose would be celebrating!😁

I come from a long line of Brooklyn Dodger fans. Some of my family members swore off professional baseball but many of us would later wait 5 years and the creation of the Amazin' NY Mets.

Utica Club Beer is an affordable fine beverage and is often overlooked to this day. I wish they would bring back the "Beer Balls" from 40 years ago. Long Live Schultz and Dooley!!!😁😁😁😁

Yes, the Mohawks and the Cayugas were known to be Cannibalistic. Something that they refuse to teach you in school. Even my friends who are members of the Onondaga tribe will admit quietly that some of their Haudenosaunee ancestors weren't exactly "nice people", especially to rival tribes like the Lenape, the Mohicans or the Susquehannocks.

I live near Baldwinsville and I am very familiar with CNY but I am originally from Brooklyn and raised in the Hudson Valley. I find it interesting but also sad that many people in this area take for granted the vast history of this area and how it helped transform this country. I guess you find that attitude everywhere. Great video btw.

Where Brooklyn at???

Very nicely done! I'm a true blue Roman. Graduated in 2002 from the old RFA, the last class to graduate from there! Keep up the fantastic work, hun! ❤

The absolute best part of my childhood was spent living on Anderegg Dr. near the lake. Summer kickball and in winter Toboggan Hill. I lived most of my life in Texas but my Dad's company (Collins Radio) sent him to work on a project at Griffiss from '66-'68. In fact, that experience was so impactful that my little sister and I flew back there for my 60th birthday. The old neighborhood was virtually unchanged. We were gobsmacked. But the icing on the cake came when we visited Stokes Elementary. After being buzzed in to look around we were greeted by my 6th grade teacher, Mr. DeFabio! It was so surreal being escorted around the building by him after 50 years! He showed me my classroom AND my old locker. I knew him instantly when I saw him and he said the same about me. It was a stunning experience. I felt as though I had returned to my own little piece of heaven. The whole experience was like travelling back in time as nothing had changed. I'll never forget it. Thanks for the video.

Sunset Park, Brooklyn born and raised

I am half Oneida and I love watching our past history it’s so intriguing to watch I love learning from it.

What a beautiful legacy, not only the tree farm but also a grandson that holds him in such love and esteem. Merry Christmas sir!

Short and very sweet!

The Mohawk Valley is basically the only flat east-west route that crosses Appalachia, all the way from the south to the north. Rome exists at a continental divide, one watershed goes down the Hudson to NYC and the Atlantic, the other watershed goes to the Great Lakes, Chicago, Toronto, the interior US, and drains out the St. Lawrence River. It has been a route for a millennia, you had to go through Rome. Was that your RFA yearbook? Great video.

"The Palisades" is a great local cliff jumping spot into Lake Delta, just to the north of the Dam. The video mentions it at 2:39 and you can see the cliffs which are now halfway submerged and great for jumping. There is an obvious well used area with jumping platforms at different heights, a quick walk through the woods if you park on the side of the road (or arrive by boat). I don't think it's legal but it was common and popular in the 80s and 90s. I remember someone died jumping off the Palisades after landing in someone's waterski boat. A family friend actually rode over the dam in a boat with friends, at night (and survived).

I came here because of Sofronio from the Voice. ^^

It is the best looking building in NY . At night it is even better looking

1:32 I'm a Buffalo native, I had always heard that Buffalo was an anglicization of "beau fleuve" which is an antiquated way to say "beautiful river" in French

Thank u for making this video! It is where I grew up too!

Another great video!

Thank you for putting this together! It is excellent!

Sofronio Vasquez Grand finalist in THE VOICE USA 2024 is fron UTICA NEW YORK.

Great post..never knew this, thanks !

Honestly heartbreaking to see the Mohawk Valley is such disrepair, From the Adirondacks but went to school in the Mohawk Valley. EPA destroyed the way of life there by making it nearly impossible to be profitable and meet the EPA's waste management codes. So manufacturing went to countries who still don't mind dumping their industrial waste into their waterways. When I was a kid I remember the creeks of Gloversville and Amsterdam were a different color everyday due to the dyes they would dump in them from the glove and rug manufacturers. I know we need to save the environment but simply sending the jobs to another country that doesn't worry about the environment doesn't seem like the answer. The US has taken a "not in my back yard" mentality towards industrial waste but have no issues with how other countries pollute as long as we still get our goods at an affordable price.

Jackie Gleason was born and raised in upstate New York, Cortland New York. The home he grew up in still stands today next to Cortland golf course in Cortland.

Just subscribed - thanks for the history. Our Mother's side is from Herkimer (German). I live in MIami.

I never realized how big it was compared to other parks.

Thanks for saving me from the struggle on my journal for 8th grade US history 😎👌

Sad I wasn’t born there. It I lived all over Brooklyn in the 80,s through 2000,s until I couldn’t afford it. Now Brooklynites live in Atlanta.😂

Consider how many occupy the Mohawk Valley, and have never been to Fort Stanwix, the Herkimer home, The Utica train station, Munson-Williams, Oriskany Battlefield, nor visit the southern Adirondack Park, littered with large rocks in open fields, evidence of glacier. Nor how many live along Wood Creek, and do not know the importance of the water with Oneida Indians.

And Steve Rodgers...

Great Video.

Great Video.

Good history.

I was 4 years old when they moved to LA. I can remember that my Dad was not to happy about it. Thanks for this retelling of history.

Your videos are too short, there's so much more to say! Great job & thanks for covering our Dodgers.

I work for general motors in Lockport I want the classes in that old Harrison building that you showed. Great video thank you so much.

Nice depiction. Just like man, a place for all seasons. ❤✌️😀💫🙏

The Little Falls Diamond (quartz crystal) was famous long before the Herkimer Diamond.
