oh you sure wouldn't get that in LA - just an "I'll steal $400 out of your pocket and ask for a $25 burger as a homeless person just to harass and kick you out of a nice beach experience" lol.
Wow. I haven't watched Casey since he moved to CA (just kinda lost interest, not because of CA), and I gotta say. Wow. The aerial footage, the cinematography, the story telling (as always)- Astounding. Greatly improved while keeping everything we know and love about him. Nicely done.
That ending where he does the classic Casey walk in to his studio, drops the boosted board, walks up to the camera and smiles before it cuts to black. CHILLS!! The TH-cam GOAT is BACK!
Casey’s ability to pack so much into 11 minutes & change just proves his mastery in storytelling. Thank you for this. On behalf of TH-cam & the state of New York……welcome home.
Wow…this vid just popped up on my feed. I stopped following Casey, years ago, after he dropped his Santa Drone video. I had loved his early blogs, but that Santa vid definitely jumped the shark. I haven’t thought about Casey in years…but here he is. Still doing his thing!!!
Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. God is three in one; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
It’s like my dad went out for a pack of smokes & came back… years later…This man was the reason I became obsessed with TH-cam. Casey- I tried LA, too. For 3 years. My soul ached every day for the city. I feel everything you said brother. Marlin’s reaction is exactly how I felt when I saw this on my feed. Welcome home Casey! I can’t wait to see you skating on the streets and yelling your name- again !
Casey walking through that studio door dropping that electric skateboard made me happy. I don't know why it was like something I didn't realize I missed.
Ever since the move it only seemed that you belonged in NYC, and the ending scenes of boosted board and Marlin felt right, glad you are back to the city!
@@gerrycanyerryyerry9641 Bro your negativity literally accomplishes nothing, other than making you look more like a tool. Go hate on somebody else's channel lol
As a third culture kid, I can definitely relate to the feeling of "your sense of self withering away in a place that just doesn't feel like home" and that feeling of wholeness you get when you're somewhere where you simply fit (like the lego pieces ahaha). Glad you're back to where you feel at home!
The world hasn’t felt right over the last couple of years in lots of ways. Crazy how Casey coming back to New York makes things come full circle and things start to feel normal again!
He's just soooo good at storytelling. It felt like coming home the whole way through, especially with the end. Like, we can expect new and amazing things for the future.
I agree! His story telling is fascinating and I've missed the busyness of New York (hustle and bustle). We get to live vicariously in N.Y. through Casey.
I am from ca, and when you left I remembered thinking to myself Casey is the embodiment of NYC. How’s he gonna survive CA. It’s not very obvious but CA and NYC are vastly different.. I’m so glad you are back there! NYC needs you as much as you need her!
That ending. The boosted board sound and the walk in to the studio then the smile. So good. Got chills the first time I watched and bigger chills the second time. I love your work man.
I absolutely loved this! I'm so happy for you and your family! I live in California and can't even imagine living anywhere else; Cali adopted me. And so, I completely understand what you meant when you said: "New York is the only place where I've ever felt like I belong". Here's to finding your home, knowing it, and letting the North Star always guide you back there. CHEERS!
This made me oddly emotional and I’m not entirely sure why. All I can say is thank you Casey for never ceasing telling the most beautiful stories. New York has missed you. Welcome back
I came here to say this. It's not the same as you guys moving back to NY, but I feel like if daily vlogs from CN in NY return, it'll feel like "home" for me. I don't even care how weird that sounds lol
This video meant so much to me. My family and I are going through something similar right now. Illinois has always been home to us. A year and a half ago, we moved to Florida. We love Florida - but it just doesn't fit. It's not home. It's like we are trying to force it. So - we are in the midst of finding our way back to the midwest. Thanks for this.
I just got down to Florida almost a year ago. I love it. It took a bit to adjust and make friends but I can absolutely understand it’s not for everyone
I just got down to Florida almost a year ago. I love it. It took a bit to adjust and make friends but I can absolutely understand it’s not for everyone
Same for me...lived in Illinois and Chicago area all my life and been in socal for last 3 years and I still feel like a tourist. I want to go back but the access to outdoors is too good here.
*Man, that nostalgia feeling starting to kick in while watching this, reminds me of good old casey's vlogs, got goosebumps in the end, good to have you back Casey.*
The one message I've gotten from countless hours of Casey's content is the idea that you need to be true to yourself. I'm so happy Casey continues to practice what he preaches. Congratulations on the move!
Actually watching it i was thinking the exact opposite, no one could tell a 2 minute story i.e “we realised we’re not happy so we moved back to the place where we found ourselves” in 12 minutes and still leave me wanting more
Casey meeting up with Marlan made me tear up. Their friendship is wonderful and I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed Casey NYC videos. I’m SO glad you’re back!!!
honestly finally seeing Casey so inspired and back where he feels whole, got me so inspired into doing the things that I love and taking the chances, bc otherwise we are not living, not truly
He’s back, baby! The photography, the editing, the music, and most importantly, the storytelling - all the elements that make Casey’s movies the best are here in spades. By far, my favorite upload to the channel in years! A journey episode is always an ambitious take, but this one is a home run. Capping it with breaking the news to Marlon was all that much sweeter.
I think this is probably one of Casey's best videos. I wonder if its one of HIS favorites? I think I've watched it about a half dozen times now ---- probably more than any one single video of his -- just to study how he created/built some of the shots, and how he places the elements of the story, narrative, flashback on family, etc (I was going to say "drives" the story, but wanted to avoid the pun ;) ) I don't know anyone who makes sub -10 minute, story-telling videos better than C.Neistat.
I don’t know why but the walk into the studio , dropping the boosted board and walking up to the camera and smiling made me feel at peace like everything is going to be ok now 💙. Welcome back Brotha.
I have only ever lived in California, have never been to New York, but have been in love with it all of my life, and I feel like I perfectly get what you are saying, because seeing him walk into the studio gave me that same feeling💯
Welcome back - in New York and on TH-cam. So glad you're back. After this video I am so motivated to reach my goals and dreams like I wasn't a long time. Thank you!
@Who knows you really gonna criticize someone’s emotional, raw, unfiltered reaction to moving? I’m not gonna go ahead and label your behaviour like that but I have a few things that come to mind just from your critical comment… so, uh, keep the self-hate to ya self then
This guy is an absolutely cinematograph genius, I believe the raw style of vlogging he created is simple yet at the same time so elaborate and true to himself that it will never me mimicked. Great to have you back casey.
It also takes an unbelievable amount of planning and filming to get to this, to get the shots matching the music so perfectly. Beautiful video once again.
An absolute artist in filming. Complete dedication to the art. I appreciate every little shot you take Casey, and the amazing editing. TH-cam's never felt the same ever since you left New York.
I don’t get why so many people are moving to NYC and those who have left are now returning. What is it about NYC that attracts so many people than other cities?
I felt it too. Of all the shots to conclude a Casey Neistat story with, that’s the one. That and our beloved UPS guy. Nothing quite said “I’m back” like those shots.
I haven't watched a Casey Neistat video in about 2-3 years. Going from binge watching his content every single day to none at all. It feels so crazy coming back and seeing this specific video. Its almost like I'm back to where I left off. I see there is an extra child now and last time i watched Franny was just born I cant believe she is so big now. The part that blew my mind was I remember the studio like the back of my hand and the mail man like I know him personally. I love it, I'm back for the ride!
You lasted longer than I expected you to last. Home is where the heart is and I am glad you are following your heart. You Tube has added so much to my life and I have you to thank for getting me addicted to your vlogs. I am 72 and I can tell you that life is too short to not be happy. So happy for you Casey !!!
Chills!! Never gets old, just keeps on getting better and better!! The story-telling, the cinematography, the quality, hands up!! Always something to look up and forward to!
Marlans pure joy has always inspired me ever since I started watching your vlogs 10 years ago today when I was 13. He’s a true gem Casey never stop including him in your videos.
I only discovered Casey a few weeks ago, and I’m still not even sure what his whole vibe is or what his channel is about, but I love it. Maybe that’s the point… He’s just sharing life as he goes through it and we never know what to expect? Either way, the quality of these videos is INSANE and the moments in them are extremely relatable. Well done Mr. Neistat.
I started watching him pre-pandemic he was like the quintessential NYC: loving video making guy I mean everybody knew him when he would ride his boosted board through town I liked his videos a lot I’m glad they moved back they belong in NYC I do too I’m moving back next year
It's incredible how a video from someone you've never met, with whom you have almost nothing in common, can make you FEEL so much. That's art. I learned that from Van. Thank you both!
Now that is storytelling... To help the audience along with the change, he drove the audience across the country. It wasn't a flight. It wasn't a cut in LA and bam in we're in New York. It was honouring the audience's need to change the setting too. And because those things are gradual in life, he gradually took us back. Love the thought you put into this Casey!
@@MatthewHyatt because this comment is not the type to be somewhere in the top and nobody will see my comment as it’s somewhere in the sea of thousands of comments so by commenting under all the top comments people are more likely to see it and I can get some answers
@@derekrobertson60388 it’s for the reason he stated, it’s unexplainable. I grew up and live in NYC and going anywhere in and out of the country all I do over and over is compare how inept things are or how much sense they lack compared to NYC. NYC is just so good, every city/state has its political stuff and crime and NYC is definitely dirty and littered but it has so much to offer that you learn to look passed it all.
The one thing that gets me with Casey’s vlogs isn’t just the editing, the style or the cinematography. It’s his eloquence and honesty when talking to camera. You feel like you’re in that moment and sharing the experience. Great guy and a genuine filmmaker. NYC’s favourite son has returned ❤️👍🏻🇬🇧
My Canadian version of this was going from Toronto to Calgary then back to Toronto 😂. Something about walking through a city thats walkable, alive with music art and beautiful multicultural life going on all around you can really change your lifestyle. It was hard getting Calgarians to understand the feeling since most of them think that all Toronto is the CN Tower and Dundas square, similar to how people outside NYC think it's only times square and forget about the beautiful residential neighbourhoods that are packed in density. Toronto proper, inspired me through the beautiful vibrant walkable neighbourhoods like St Clair west, Little Italy, Greektown, The beaches, Queen West, Midtown, High Park, Korea Town, Korea Town North, Little Jamaica, Liberty Village, Little Portugal, Roncesvalles, Cabbage Town, Riverdale, Mount pleasant and way more, all connected to streetcars and subways! Calgary is similar to L.A for the reason it is very car centric with wide roads, suburban sprawl, bad zoning laws, and smaller pockets of density spread out through long car rides. Cities like L.A, Huston, Atlanta, Calgary are so bad in urban design that I strongly believe it has a negative effect on the human spirit of creative people. This is coming from someone who knows how it is to live as a suburbanite.
Closest thing that comes close for me is that I live on the west coast (born in Vancouver, but I live in Nanaimo) and move back and forth between Edmonton for school. I got used to it faster than I expected and it’s a perfectly serviceable city. Whenever I have visited Quebec though, I just can’t see myself ever living there, and not just because of all the French. The city (and a large portion of people as well) just seems so miserable and decrepit. I’ll stick to the west I think
I know what you mean. Last March 2023 I went up to Toronto to see if I can catch some snow since we didn't get any in NYC. My first day there a snowstorm came in the evening by 7 pm. It lasted until around 2 am. I went out walking in the snow with my Go Pro out in Toronto Chinatown just taking videos. Short walk from my Marriott Hotel near city hall down Dundas put me right into the heart of Chinatown. Lots of snow.
That production value is just unbelievable. Some of those shots are so insane that you almost take them for granted. I watched it normally and my brain went, "Hold up was that a drone shot over a highway?" Crazy.
Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. God is three in one; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him!

They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
Yea I agree, when I was last watching you, I was living in a hostel with a rack sack of clothes and a bad drug habit, your videos got me through some bad times, now it’s nice to watch your videos again as a family man job, clean and looking forward to starting a business, and you helped with that process without even knowing it. Thank you and god bless glad you back in NYC.
Back to NYC, back to vlogging, back to happy Candace. The fact that this happening on the cusp of a recession.....this is definitely gonna be a fun and interesting "back to the future" next chapter.
This is an incredibly compelling travel vlog. It's insane how good Casey is at making movies. The drone shots of his own car driving, the consistency with which he filmed himself filling up gas, and all of the state welcome signs.... It feels like Casey is back, for real this time.
I don’t see Casey’s videos as vlogs, i see them as art. It is unbelievable that a 11 minute video can be so incredibly good. Wishing you and your family the best in NYC.
And oh, that reaction for Marlan is so genuinely happy to hear you are back in NYC. For sure he is the most happiest person about you come back. Good for you Marlan, your brother is back In the city. Make vlog about it. Go Marlan
I have compete identification with this. Moved to NYC at the same time you did as an adult orphan. Left to move abroad at the same time you left for LA. Moving back next year. The reason: I feel more like me in NY than anyplace else on earth. For whatever reason the person I am and the way I do things works perfectly in NY. My last visit back cemented it. You only get one life. Why not be happy? Can't wait to be back home.
thats a counterfeit Versace t-shirt.

As long as it's not counterfeit New York, we don't mind :)
Makes sense, LA Casey was counterfeit Casey.

Are we going to see Casey vloging daily again?! PLEASEEE!!! :D Man, I know you are sick of people saying that, but WE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!!! :D
I’m so happy for Marlan, what a guy
We are all Marlan :-)
thats who i thought of when i saw the title!🤪

His vibe is so awesome
I missed this soo much
suddenly all feels right again 😌 welcome back, casey!!

Love how my TH-cam community blows up when he posts. Hopefully he's back to posting more often!

Welcome 🤗 back Sir ☝🏻😎

Something about Casey returning to NYC brings me so much inner peace
Agreed. And I live in LA (and love it here!).
Very much agreed… I live in Sydney and LA just doesn’t do it for me… NYC is where it’s happening always !!! Xxx

well he stopped making videos for the most part. think he is only making vids again for the money?

Nobody has the storytelling skills like you do Casey! And that ending was epic!!!
Except Van Neistad
Ernmmm andrew tate sure has
Lol he just gets better and better
Your heart went into that video. Glad to see you guys back in the place you love. Keep up the excellent work. Thank you for all you do.
Appreciate Casey’s filming skills
Wonderful 👌 nyc superb very amazing 👍👍👌👌
Nice
Nice
Thumbs up
Nice
Every episode with Marlon is a good episode.
He’s such a bright source of energy
Hi spammer bot
I’ve never been able to find another creator who can tell what could be a 30-40 minute story in less than 12 minutes like you can. A pure joy to watch
But youtube is now full of creators who have copied Casey or who have been 'inspired' by him, as he's been a force on youtube for more than 10 years
@@dejavu011 for sure he’s been an inspiration for loads of incredible creators but he’s not quite been matched for me
yeah ok
Actually watching it i was thinking the exact opposite, no one could tell a 2 minute story i.e “we realised we’re not happy so we moved back to the place where we found ourselves” in 12 minutes and still leave me wanting more
This!
We’ve never met but I’m still unreasonably happy to know you and Candice are still together. Congrats on 8 years🎉
Casey meeting up with Marlan made me tear up. Their friendship is wonderful and I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed Casey NYC videos. I’m SO glad you’re back!!!
Congrats man! 👏
Casey is the only filmmaker who can put two Legos together and bring a tear to your eye... We missed you man 😎
Facts!
Nah.
not true!! i would not cry if he put 2 legos together. I hope he starts documenting the size of his dumps, that would be so rad! right fellas!?
honestly finally seeing Casey so inspired and back where he feels whole, got me so inspired into doing the things that I love and taking the chances, bc otherwise we are not living, not truly
He’s back, baby!
The photography, the editing, the music, and most importantly, the storytelling - all the elements that make Casey’s movies the best are here in spades. By far, my favorite upload to the channel in years! A journey episode is always an ambitious take, but this one is a home run. Capping it with breaking the news to Marlon was all that much sweeter.
That final shot starting with the sound of the electric skateboard, that gave me chills. I'm happy for you all Casey!!!
the final shot with him&marlan? or the second last shot..
@@2_pelicans I feel like you know the answer already
The sound design on that and the New York reveal with the drone were brilliant. 😂
Me arrepiei todo
“If you are not changing, you are not pushing yourself hard enough.” Love that.
I think this is probably one of Casey's best videos. I wonder if its one of HIS favorites? I think I've watched it about a half dozen times now ---- probably more than any one single video of his -- just to study how he created/built some of the shots, and how he places the elements of the story, narrative, flashback on family, etc (I was going to say "drives" the story, but wanted to avoid the pun ;) ) I don't know anyone who makes sub -10 minute, story-telling videos better than C.Neistat.
I don’t know why but the walk into the studio , dropping the boosted board and walking up to the camera and smiling made me feel at peace like everything is going to be ok now 💙. Welcome back Brotha.
Yes. Like you felt a good friend was back home in the ‘hood you both grew up in ❤️
Heavy nostalgia
Made me tear up
I have only ever lived in California, have never been to New York, but have been in love with it all of my life, and I feel like I perfectly get what you are saying, because seeing him walk into the studio gave me that same feeling💯
I had the same exact thought when I got the notification that he posted. The return of quality cinematography.
Every episode with Marlon is a good episode, he's such a bright source of energy!
Everyone needs a guy like Marlon in their life!!! He's so genuinely nice!
It's not an NYC video without Marlon, truly!
Casey is back in NYC; nature is healing.
EDIT: man, the boosted board, the studio and Marlon. those last 30 seconds almost made my cry.
All is right with the world again!
Yo. Same. The feels were real.
I'm crying right now! What an end... that is a beginning
Same. So happy for you guys. YES!
I’m crying tears of joy right now
Welcome back - in New York and on TH-cam. So glad you're back. After this video I am so motivated to reach my goals and dreams like I wasn't a long time. Thank you!
“No I’m not crying, I’m crying on the inside” the most Candice thing Candice has ever said
@Who knows ✨no✨
@Who knows you really gonna criticize someone’s emotional, raw, unfiltered reaction to moving? I’m not gonna go ahead and label your behaviour like that but I have a few things that come to mind just from your critical comment… so, uh, keep the self-hate to ya self then
Couldn’t have been happier for you guys, New York will forever be your city ❤
This guy is an absolutely cinematograph genius, I believe the raw style of vlogging he created is simple yet at the same time so elaborate and true to himself that it will never me mimicked. Great to have you back casey.
But an insane amount of editing.
This shot of the rear tracking shot at 8:14 of the car coming up over the hill while the drone remained level was epic.
It also takes an unbelievable amount of planning and filming to get to this, to get the shots matching the music so perfectly. Beautiful video once again.
Thank you, Marlon, for expressing exactly how we all feel about Casey’s return to the city.
An absolute artist in filming. Complete dedication to the art. I appreciate every little shot you take Casey, and the amazing editing. TH-cam's never felt the same ever since you left New York.
So glad you're back, Casey. You belong in NYC!
I don’t get why so many people are moving to NYC and those who have left are now returning. What is it about NYC that attracts so many people than other cities?
The shot and sound design of the boosted board accelerating gave me the chills. Such a simple shot evoking a ton of nostalgia.
I felt it too. Of all the shots to conclude a Casey Neistat story with, that’s the one. That and our beloved UPS guy. Nothing quite said “I’m back” like those shots.
One day he'll learn OneWheel is just better in all ways. But yes I suppose there's some quality to having your EV making noise :P
I legit said "he's back babyy!" out loud when I saw that shot. Pure nostalgia ❤️
Same!!
Goosebumps moment for sure!
Something inside of me genuinely feels more joy again... fell younger, fell more happy, thank u Casey.
Nostalgia just hit me like a freaking train. This felt like a full-on time capsule kicking me to a completely different time in my life.
same here!!!
+1 :)
dang this comment is spot on!
I haven't watched a Casey Neistat video in about 2-3 years. Going from binge watching his content every single day to none at all. It feels so crazy coming back and seeing this specific video. Its almost like I'm back to where I left off. I see there is an extra child now and last time i watched Franny was just born I cant believe she is so big now. The part that blew my mind was I remember the studio like the back of my hand and the mail man like I know him personally. I love it, I'm back for the ride!
same here man!
This is like a new season premiere!😂
same
Exactly the same here man. Stopped watching after the vlogs ended. Happy to see him back.
Likewise!! Glad to see him back to where he belongs!! :D
You lasted longer than I expected you to last. Home is where the heart is and I am glad you are following your heart. You Tube has added so much to my life and I have you to thank for getting me addicted to your vlogs. I am 72 and I can tell you that life is too short to not be happy. So happy for you Casey !!!
Chills!! Never gets old, just keeps on getting better and better!! The story-telling, the cinematography, the quality, hands up!! Always something to look up and forward to!
Marlin is the highlight of the whole video for me, glad your back where you feel yourself the most.
Marlans pure joy has always inspired me ever since I started watching your vlogs 10 years ago today when I was 13. He’s a true gem Casey never stop including him in your videos.
"Home is about a place that makes you feel like you. It's about finding a location where you just fit."
Thank you for this.
...my fam been feeling this for awhile. Home is community and community is home.
@@mhalsmith Agreed!
I only discovered Casey a few weeks ago, and I’m still not even sure what his whole vibe is or what his channel is about, but I love it. Maybe that’s the point… He’s just sharing life as he goes through it and we never know what to expect? Either way, the quality of these videos is INSANE and the moments in them are extremely relatable. Well done Mr. Neistat.
I started watching him pre-pandemic he was like the quintessential NYC: loving video making guy I mean everybody knew him when he would ride his boosted board through town I liked his videos a lot
I’m glad they moved back they belong in NYC I do too I’m moving back next year
Go back to the beginning and watch the apple exposé and the cycle lanes videos if you haven't already, classic Casey 🌞
That was the initial point of vloging. Casey is Vlog King!
It's incredible how a video from someone you've never met, with whom you have almost nothing in common, can make you FEEL so much. That's art. I learned that from Van. Thank you both!
Its incredible how a comment from someone ...
van who?
@@amryan Van Neistat, Casey's brother. He also makes videos.
Now that is storytelling... To help the audience along with the change, he drove the audience across the country. It wasn't a flight. It wasn't a cut in LA and bam in we're in New York. It was honouring the audience's need to change the setting too. And because those things are gradual in life, he gradually took us back. Love the thought you put into this Casey!
I don’t get why so many people are moving to NYC and those who have left are now returning
@@MatthewHyatt because this comment is not the type to be somewhere in the top and nobody will see my comment as it’s somewhere in the sea of thousands of comments so by commenting under all the top comments people are more likely to see it and I can get some answers
yeah but like he also needed his car so it makes sense
@@derekrobertson60388 it’s for the reason he stated, it’s unexplainable. I grew up and live in NYC and going anywhere in and out of the country all I do over and over is compare how inept things are or how much sense they lack compared to NYC. NYC is just so good, every city/state has its political stuff and crime and NYC is definitely dirty and littered but it has so much to offer that you learn to look passed it all.
think he had to move the car
The one thing that gets me with Casey’s vlogs isn’t just the editing, the style or the cinematography. It’s his eloquence and honesty when talking to camera. You feel like you’re in that moment and sharing the experience. Great guy and a genuine filmmaker. NYC’s favourite son has returned ❤️👍🏻🇬🇧
Well put Paul!
@@cornercarverfan cheers buddy. Straight from the ❤️
Ya totally agre and them 10 min fells like 1 hour "movie"
My Canadian version of this was going from Toronto to Calgary then back to Toronto 😂. Something about walking through a city thats walkable, alive with music art and beautiful multicultural life going on all around you can really change your lifestyle. It was hard getting Calgarians to understand the feeling since most of them think that all Toronto is the CN Tower and Dundas square, similar to how people outside NYC think it's only times square and forget about the beautiful residential neighbourhoods that are packed in density. Toronto proper, inspired me through the beautiful vibrant walkable neighbourhoods like St Clair west, Little Italy, Greektown, The beaches, Queen West, Midtown, High Park, Korea Town, Korea Town North, Little Jamaica, Liberty Village, Little Portugal, Roncesvalles, Cabbage Town, Riverdale, Mount pleasant and way more, all connected to streetcars and subways! Calgary is similar to L.A for the reason it is very car centric with wide roads, suburban sprawl, bad zoning laws, and smaller pockets of density spread out through long car rides. Cities like L.A, Huston, Atlanta, Calgary are so bad in urban design that I strongly believe it has a negative effect on the human spirit of creative people. This is coming from someone who knows how it is to live as a suburbanite.
Calgary is worse than Toronto in urban design? 🤔
I grew up in calgary, and agree. It's a soul sucking city, with almost no pros.
Closest thing that comes close for me is that I live on the west coast (born in Vancouver, but I live in Nanaimo) and move back and forth between Edmonton for school. I got used to it faster than I expected and it’s a perfectly serviceable city. Whenever I have visited Quebec though, I just can’t see myself ever living there, and not just because of all the French. The city (and a large portion of people as well) just seems so miserable and decrepit. I’ll stick to the west I think
I know what you mean. Last March 2023 I went up to Toronto to see if I can catch some snow since we didn't get any in NYC. My first day there a snowstorm came in the evening by 7 pm. It lasted until around 2 am. I went out walking in the snow with my Go Pro out in Toronto Chinatown just taking videos. Short walk from my Marriott Hotel near city hall down Dundas put me right into the heart of Chinatown. Lots of snow.
Man, I didn't realise how much I missed these videos!!! Casey, you are a storyteller! Please start posting again, even if it's once a week.
Have just discovered this dude. His videos are amazing.
You're still the best storyteller on TH-cam and have the ability to evoke emotion through content creation.
That production value is just unbelievable. Some of those shots are so insane that you almost take them for granted. I watched it normally and my brain went, "Hold up was that a drone shot over a highway?" Crazy.
Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness.
God is three in one; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him!
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
Yea I agree, when I was last watching you, I was living in a hostel with a rack sack of clothes and a bad drug habit, your videos got me through some bad times, now it’s nice to watch your videos again as a family man job, clean and looking forward to starting a business, and you helped with that process without even knowing it. Thank you and god bless glad you back in NYC.
I literally got chills when he walked back into the old studio.
Back to NYC, back to vlogging, back to happy Candace.
The fact that this happening on the cusp of a recession.....this is definitely gonna be a fun and interesting "back to the future" next chapter.
Exactly!!!
and the shot before that, passing by with the board, and tilting up to the skyscrapers...that was some movie type "im back" shit
Me too!!! I thought I was the only one. It’s like his studio was just waiting for him to come back, to come alive again!
Probably the best story teller on TH-cam. Really really hoping you start making more videos Casey!!
This is an incredibly compelling travel vlog. It's insane how good Casey is at making movies. The drone shots of his own car driving, the consistency with which he filmed himself filling up gas, and all of the state welcome signs.... It feels like Casey is back, for real this time.
It seems like he's the only one on the journey.
How the hell did he capture drone of his own car while driving lol??!
@@Zer0-0 DJI has tracking software in there drones think it’s called active track
Casey's love for NYC is beyond words, it's his home by choice
I don’t see Casey’s videos as vlogs, i see them as art. It is unbelievable that a 11 minute video can be so incredibly good. Wishing you and your family the best in NYC.
I feel like I've gone back in time in the best possible way
And oh, that reaction for Marlan is so genuinely happy to hear you are back in NYC. For sure he is the most happiest person about you come back. Good for you Marlan, your brother is back In the city. Make vlog about it. Go Marlan
I have compete identification with this. Moved to NYC at the same time you did as an adult orphan. Left to move abroad at the same time you left for LA. Moving back next year. The reason: I feel more like me in NY than anyplace else on earth. For whatever reason the person I am and the way I do things works perfectly in NY. My last visit back cemented it. You only get one life. Why not be happy? Can't wait to be back home.
This was just so incredibly honest. So happy for you guys, and thanks for sharing this with the world!
