I think you would be a great Republican candidate for presidency next year You have thousands of followers on TH-cam and you are a great and fair person 👍 Think about it ! My family and I would vote for you for sure ❤
I had a friend who was a sushi chef downtown Manhattan. His doctor told him to leave NYC. He went on a big driving tour of the US. He told me the friendliest place in the whole country was Cheyenne, Wyoming. And that's coming from a Japanese guy that barely spoke English.
@@fewkeyfewkey5414 I loved Manhattan. People were so friendly. The Japanese girl we hired for our day excursion almost became my girlfriend but couldn't figure out a way to explain it to my wife in Oregon. The Brit tourists in the bar at the Roosevelt hotel were memorable and the Blue Note Cafe was great
Moved from Denver to Cheyenne six years ago. This video is spot on in its portrayal. I even know Dominic, so watching this is a bit surreal. Glad Nick had a good time!
I used to use to work Railroad Construction in Wyoming, and worked for an Oil Company. I left for a job Opportunity in the late 90's out of state. I still miss Wyoming and the great people I met there. It's a great state🇺🇲
This is what happens when you put conservatives in office. If you go to a red city most of time law and order is turned on, no graffiti, no trash & needles everywhere, no homeless zombies walking around, affordable housing, great opportunity, low taxes, a well armed society, sense of community, faith/family, great schools, low crimes rates and most importantly kindness. No dark cloud looming over the city.
The more rural parts of America are generally more conservative. Even in states that are blue, you can see from the election map, that all the blue states' Democratic votes come from the areas with high population density, and red votes come from the areas with lower population density. I think the mindset of people changes based on their surroundings. I am willing to bet that there are some homeless and poor people in that area, it's just that maybe you can't see them. Plus, the main reason why it probably won't become a highly urban area is because city folk won't want to live there. People tend to flock to areas where the weather is good, that is why they choose Southern California. So having cold winters can have a "herd thinning" effect. When I look at Cheyenne in this video (I have never been there, mind you), it looks like small town America to me. I have lived in Chicago, San Diego, Los Angeles, Austin and Honolulu. I love being in a big city for the cultural diversity. I am a Democrat, and would not want to live in a small town; not because I don't like Republicans (I don't) but because I don't mind the high population density in order to have more people around. Believe it or not, I feel safer in a big city than I do in a small town. Big cities have higher crime rates than small towns, but we should be looking at the per capita rates. I have lived in big cities for years, and I think someone broke into my car one time, years ago, but never had anyone break into my house, never been robbed at gunpoint, never been attacked by anyone. For the most part, I feel safe in the city.
Lol you forgot poor healthcare, poor education, poor higher education rate, poor job growth, poor opportunities and high drug addiction. So yeah. Let’s tell both sides.
@@alvarezgamers Those metrics you mentioned are from the South. You forgot that the midwest is highly educated, has high average IQ and doesn't have those problems you mentioned. In fact Omaha is on a red state with a republican mayor, Lincoln and Des Moines are doing well too.
I love Wyoming! I live in Montana and it's about 30 minutes to get to Wyoming from home. The people are very nice and the men call you Mam and hold the door for you.
Cheyenne is a good town. Clean, safe, good economy. Only downside is brutal winters. Blizzards and white outs suck. They also get tornadoes. The people are hard workers and very respectful.
I have driven through Wyoming a few times recently. A beautiful state especially around Yellowstone and the Bighorn National Forest. It’s a lot like Montana, a lot of open land and you can easily go a 100 miles without seeing another town.
As someone who grew up in Cheyenne this is what I remember: windy all the time, not much to do (for young people), change comes very slowly (and the locals prefer it that way), and very little traffic. The people are unassuming and polite.
I left there in 88. Went back in 97. Went back for the second time since 88 a few weeks after this video. Not much has changed. That's a good thing and a bad thing, depending on your perspective. It was definitely like stepping into Back To The Future for me.
you sure about not much to do for young people? i grew up in Cheyenne as-well but the rode i was on was filled with boys and had a heck of a time, same for my elderly neighbors some of the best people ever (Freda and Ron)
Hey Nick I'm Australian I love watching your videos and am learning a lot about all the states cities and towns you do an amazing job love your sense of humor ❤ Wyoming what a beautiful state I grew up on western movies and would love to visit one day keep up the good work 😊
I'm from Ireland and drove through northern Wyoming, and it was really great. Wide open plains, small cowboy towns, and of course Devil's Peak ( from Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind ) :). It was mid summer, and just like driving through a western movie
Many years ago in the 60s I signed off a ship in Sydney NSW, got pick pocketed in the Kings Cross part of Sydney on my first night at the pubs there, but I got a job the next day. One of my first breakfasts there I got a rump steak with beans and a couple of eggs and the waitress said I hope you like what we eat for breakfast in Australia, yeah right that's about what I had for breakfast being raised in Wyoming. I even worked for the Victoria State Rivers in Cahuna Victoria, kind of felt like back home except for the abundance of the vegetation, I have more sage brush than trees on my property on Wyoming. We don't mind folks visting our state but please don't think about moving here, we already have out of states people driving like idiots, having no respect for others and drag in their stinking liberal ideas.
This reminded me of going to a wedding in Nampa, Idaho. I'm a beach guy, shell necklace, Hawaiian shirt, tan, flipflops. Met a rodeo guy in the hallway at the motel. Big hat, Wrangler jeans, boots, dinner plate belt buckle. We both sized each other up and we both said at the exact same time, Sheeiittt! No fight ensued, we just shook our heads and went on our way.
I love all of your videos, but this one has become one of my favorites. I lived in Montana in the 80s and would love to go back now. Really nice friendly people. Devils Tower was a great place to camp out. Wyoming is beautiful!
30:00 awesome!!! I used to see this in movies and I remember Rango movie, missed it. I dreamt of going to a place like this, a saloon, wild west, a cowboy's bar, a wagon, a tumbleweed. The real American deal. Great place, Wyoming. Such a gem!
Just visited my bestie & her family in Cheyenne a few weeks ago. I didn’t know what to expect, but came away jealous!! Lovely skies, nice folk and fantastic scenery. Was so disappointed to come back to my Houston reality 😅
My only regret with Wyoming is that I didn't move here sooner. I looked at Cheyenne when we were house hunting, but not seriously since it is so close to Colorado that it inevitably will before long be just like the festering Denver area. So, we found a great home in Gillette and never looked back. We do drive down to Denver once in a while and it is always a relief once we get past Fort Collins heading north on I25 as the insanity of traffic drops off right there, whew. The rest of the drive all the way home in Gillette is trafficless, yee haw. There is plenty to do in Gillette, and Casper and Cheyenne and Sheridan, and no problems or zombies walking the streets drugged up on who knows what these days. Kids can ride their bikes anywhere without a worry of weirdos or nasty people. And like you said Wyoming is kinda like how America was decades ago, peaceful, friendly, lawful, very much drug free, and we do shake hands here, and haven't met a nasty or bad person yet, my kind of place. Disclaimer: I'm a nonaffiliated independent conservative voter and you won't find me voting for any DemocRat, ever.
I love that in the US you have Wyoming, New York, California, Florida and they are all different. Americans have options. You can choose where you want to live, the state that suits you best. I don't understand why so many Americans hate that America is varied and want it all to be the same. How boring would that be. Each state, or region, is like a different country. Wouldn't it be wiser to celebrate the diversity of culture, travel to each other's regions and enjoy the differences, than argue and fight and try to make everything the same?
@@NickJohnson Well not hate, but rather not appreciate. The whole right vs left divide in this country is each side wanting to make all of Aemrica in their own vision, everywhere. The left want every city town and country to have the same values as San Francisco, while the right want every city town and county to have the same values as Wyoming. At least in the last 10 to 15 years or so. And there is no willingness to compromise anymore.
The message from nearly all of Nick’s videos is that nearly everyone hates that America is now all the same. The variation has been lost under a ubiquitous lawlessness, drug addiction and homelessness. He’s forever lamenting how ‘clean and tidy’, wholesome and hopeful America used to be. Hence he likes Cheyenne. Romanticising the past is self defeating, but maybe we can’t get used to the essential problem and that is over population, felt worse in the big countries - America, China, India.
I love that even in Cheyenne, there's a way to tie in California somehow as to it growing in population, but only by virtue of another city in a bordering state.
I'm an Aussie, I have to tell you that what you call "blue states" don't look like nice places to visit, the people come across so hateful and horrible, not a place I'd like to visit, but your red states seem so welcoming, It's the America I'd like to visit, people seem laid back and relaxed.
Facts👋🤔🤨 I'm an Escapee from Washington D.C. a Extreme perverted liberal hell hole.. Moved to Southern California when it was mostly conservative.. Now it's becoming an expensive Perverted Hell Hole.. I truck with a Alabama Flag is more Trustworthy than a fool in a Prius with a Terrorists BLM fake flag.. Any logical person knows Black People and ALL people matter.. If you ever read the BLM manifesto it was never about blacks it was about introducing perversion in the black community while destroying Father's in the Nuclear Family.. It's just half of America never research or study with logic🔍😎👍
From California and it's a fascist state. I'm not a person in California since I'm not vaccinated with mRNA, now in Red States I have a good life and more independent thinking, if Wyoming turned blue it would be a communists hellhole. Democrats should reap what they sow with their Satanic feel good empty gaslighting platitudes.
That's what makes Wyoming so great. I'm born and raised and still living in California. And a little too old to leave. But I am a Republican so I should fit right in.
Great stuff, Nick! I know there's allot of work you do behind the scenes (the video editing) to put all this together since I also "try" to do a few vids too. Yours this year have only gotten better and BETTER! A perfect mix of your own personality, your initial and then more extended impressions of their local culture, the local drives, and the very credible interviews with the locals. You are doing GREAT!
Are those the towns the California trash have relocated to? Idaho has Boise, the Californias who got turned into victims by “diversity” or can’t afford the tax’s move to safe, affordable red states then destroy it….blue locusts….
😂😂😂 You're exactly right. Cheyenne is definitely leaning left. Makes me wonder when Laramie County will turn blue. Probably not for a while but it will happen.
Graduated HS in Cheyenne. Brutal winters that last from August through May. elevation 6200 feet, thousand feet higher than the mile high city. People are great there.
Can't stand these younger kids who just can't be happy with where they live unless they get to change everything to achieve their vision of how they think it "should" be. Why don't they just move somewhere else that makes them happy? Why can't they just respect how the people that have lived there for a much longer time want to keep things the same? Everything always has to be "progress" with them.
@@jag92949yeah and now people are flocking there and it’s congested with overpopulation and traffic. Tbh it’s disgusting to me no matter how well the state is doing. So it’s a give and take type of deal. What Wyoming has works for them and you don’t fix what isn’t broken. I don’t want to see Wyoming become Florida tbh. Keep it open, wild and free.
I don't know if it's the kids, seems to me it's the meth and the fentanyl, and this stuff just devours them. The other thing that changes these places is money, people sitting on gains from real estate and stock market, and that buys stuff and makes housing expensive, and that's not kids either.
@@jag92949if I had a weird sexual fetish, I'd probably keep that shit to myself instead of trying to spread it to your kids so ron desantis doesn't have to shut it down.
@jameswesterman9283 yeah your state is so smart and successful that it has all that land but like no population. It's good it exists we need a place for people that aren't bright enough to be part of society.
No we need economic migrants in our hotels and streets fighting with the "disenfranchised" locals like nyc. We need homeless terrorizing businesses and their customers.
If I was 50 years younger and had a lot more money to get a fresh start somewhere, Wyoming would be the perfect place for me. I'm a conservative, vote Republican, love snow, not real fond of most people, independent as Hell and hate authority telling me what I can and cannot do, love nature and the outdoors, like open spaces, and love being left alone to mind my own business. Peace and quiet is paradise to me. I would most likely enjoy Cody more than Cheyenne though because of the nearness to the mountains. I have been to Wyoming once back in the mid-1980's, went to Jackson for a few days and fell in love with the area, never saw such beauty. I understand Jackson has been almost ruined by the rich Dem millionaires trying to take over and bring their progressive crap "change", such a crying shame. Too late for me now, but anyone moving to Wyoming, especially retirees with a good secure retirement income, would be what I consider very fortunate. Like moving back a bit to the good old days we old folks remember.
@@byronkerby6897 Comprimises of either corporate "progressives" aka corporate but with a progressive "skin", naive or too emotionl progressives, and mainly just out of touch progressives. I said ivory but ivory tower is the proper term. Also your good old days weren't as good as you think they were. The world was different back then Different circumstances
Brother. Jackson is beyond the left right democrat republican divide. Its become a center of the people Actually In Charge of the world economic system, Like Davos Switzerland, Monaco, or Cashiers, North Carolina.
I pulled off I-80 once in Cheyenne for a taco johns . Great job with videos lately Nick your videos are great . One of the few TH-camrs I allow my 5 year old to watch . You’re a good character sir . We love your content keep’er up
Fun fact: Taco John's was founded in Cheyenne, although the original location no longer exists. I think last year or so they moved the headquarters to somewhere in Minnesota as a lot of their new expansion has been in the Midwest.
Yeah watch your mouth partner , Mappy is the real potty mouth tho . Boy he’s vulgar and just down right obscene some times , Agh well kids gonna hear it eventually I suppose
I live in Denver and like the culture of Wyoming. I stopped in Cheyenne at a truck stop and they had a rack of Christian books in the store. You would NEVER see that in Colorado.
Good video. We moved to Wyoming right before I turned 18 in June of 1991. We moved to Shoshoni. My dad was supposed to be starting a job at some plant in the area. I went to work at a steak house that was opening. Supposed to be a waitress, the cook had a heart attack the first day of opening in the middle of the day. I got moved to the kitchen cuz I was the only one who knew how to cook. 😅 Ended up being the head cook for about 3 months. Met some of the nicest people. We were from TX, and met a neighbor who was also from TX waiting on the same job my dad was waiting on. Met some of the nicest people there. Weather was fabulous. Not hot at all compared to TX. Only got up in the 80's. I asked someone at work what the gates were for at the end of town both directions. They told me in the winter it snows so much the gates get closed cuz it's too dangerous to get on the highway. I got home that day and told my parents I'm moving back to TX, yall can hang out and wait for that job if you want, but I'm not trying to get locked in somewhere in that much snow 😂 we moved back home to TX a few weeks later, the job never started. Still was a neat town, and I would like to go back an visit some day. With a dad who worked a lot of nuclear plants and other big steel mills, I was fortunate enough to get to do a lot of traveling over the years.
@@NickJohnson cool, not much in that town for sure. But sure nice ppl. One memory that really stands out, I just turned 50, I was 18 then, so it's been awhile. But my mom and I walked daily for exercise, and we would walk down to the little post office, there was also a small laundry mat there in town. We went to do laundry one day, waiting on our washer an dryer to be delivered, we probably weren't even in town for a week yet. We heard a lady and a kid screaming outside, step out to see what happened. The 2 yr old little girl was attacked by a dog, in the face. It was horrible, ended up with tons of stitches, I wanna say well over 100. I'll never forget that. I think of that family often.
It's not a bad place in the people are great however after watching this video you seen it all you could go through the entire Capitol and about two hours it's a capital city that has a small-town feel literally after watching this video You Seen It All
My husband and I want to live in Sheridan Wyoming. Colorado is stupidly expensive and we had two honeymoons in Wyoming and we want to retire there. Roamin' Wyoming!!! We don't want to be around people and we care little for a night life. We want isolation and simplicity ❤
Yep, that's one of the towns I grew up in Wyoming where I lived most of my life. I went to high school in Cheyenne, my Dad worked at the Union Pacific RR most of his life till he passed away from cancer several years ago.
I didnt grew up in Wyoming but many people driving a Porsche Cheyenne here in Switzerland,so there is a a deep connection between us!I think Wyoming has a great future very longterm because it wont get to hot there even with climat change!
@brunoheggli2888 I don't think so. It's too expensive in Canada. I liked not having taxes on everything I can actually afford groceries in Wyoming. But I am sure Canada has certain things that are better as well though.
@@coriettapadilla9977 There are some parts where they speak French,so it woud be fun to speak a new language and they play icehockey,that must be fun to!I will take a look in the Ukraine,could be a nice place when the war is over!
Nick, you’re AWESOME!! 🤣😂🤣🥳🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I’m getting the sense that you’re able to do this channel full time and that this channel helps you pay its own way! Good for you, Brutha!! ✝️🇺🇸
Those in Wyoming like smaller towns with fewer people but then support Republicans who believe in large families with many children amd increasing population. But increasing population increases all the problems they are trying to avoid.
@@geodude7116 That's an astute point (with regard to population management). I am a fervent antinatalist, and I'm aware I'm in an extreme minority with this, but I believe that informed population self-control is much more effective than the polarisation of viewpoints caused by the culture war, involving gender and new identities, etc. All that's happened with the "new work" approach (i.e. "education" to reduce fertility rates) is that you have had 2 camps emerging: neo-Christian neoconservatives on one, and their opponents on absolutely everything, on the other. The neocons aren't multiplying like rabbits. Yet if you allocate more resources to their opponents, then their opponents would do all the same things as before (i.e. reproduce, travel, etc.) despite their avowed support for gender self-identities and other sociological experiments. It would become just another generational identity thing, similar to flower-power kids vs Gen X. This achieves absolutely nothing. It's time to get straight with people, right down to the very core philosophy of life. You can't treat people like a mere factor of production and then expect to manage them with these devices. It just isn't working. The wars, disease and famine will go on and nobody will trust people like Bill Gates, etc.
@@joselopez-he1mc Quiet sounds good to me! Along with open spaces and people being the way they were described in the video. What do you mean by industrial? Where I live that means lot of pollution and generally ugly buildings.
@@annabelleb.8096 sections of town have industrial buildings from decades back. Those parts arent pretty. No razorwire graffitti like other cities areas.
Another great one. I am with you on the greatness of Wyoming. Interesting that the boom isn't going there; that sets Wyoming apart. I will be interested to see if you are headed to Montana--will like to see your take on a comparison of Wyoming and Montana. If I had to pick one place to be, not having already created my remote cabin paradise in central Utah, it would be one of those two (and not much else).
I’ve always been fascinated with Wyoming life and the state’s natural beauty. Great video! Love to see a video like this for snobby, ski-town Jackson, WY.
I don't understand what you are talking about, but I turn on the subtitles. It is very interesting for me to observe countries and cities across the ocean. By the way, the nature at the beginning of the video is one to one similar to that in Khakassia, this is in Southern Siberia, in Russia, where the Turkic indigenous peoples (Khakass) live.
@@snyper105 Last year, Russia lifted the entry ban for foreign citizens. So feel free to come. Just decide which region of Russia you want to visit, because the country is very large. "Eli from Russia" on TH-cam shows all the regions of our country, so that foreign citizens can understand.
All of the viewers that like the “bad stuff” were almost disappointed but you did show a few things lol. Awesome video Nick. Your sense of humour is epic.
Vermont was filled with people who just wanted to mind their business....which meant it only took a few ill willed people to get their BS pushed forward. No state that doesn't realize that they have genuine enemies that want them to turn into Leftist shitholes can survive.
There needs to be some respect for the “old people who vote.” They have what the millennials sorely lack: Life experience and humility. Keep having your graffiti and hip-hop festivals, because you need to put your stamp on everything, since you know better. The city will be in the sh*tter faster than you can shout “black lives matter.”
I work with mostly millennials- tons of them, because the company I work for thrives off of hiring younger people. Most of them are hard working, educated, and non-political. They couldn’t give a shit whether you’re right or left- they have more urgent things to worry about, like - paying rent. Many of the “old people who vote” are fixated on the ideological standards that have been indoctrinated into them- mostly through fear. Maybe they could learn at least one two things from younger people.
@@patrickwoods2213well, if they are worried about paying rent, they should get political….my two millennial boys were taught by me to be involved or face the consequences.
@@aimaradiaz1840You should let your kids decide for themselves if they want to vote, instead of giving them ultimatums if they don’t. There are no consequences for not voting. Most people vote for the wrong reasons- because they were taught to vote a certain way, so they vote the way they were taught, instead of thinking for themselves.
1:05 “What’s it like in the cowboy State?” Well, read that sentence again. “Cowboy,” not cowthey, cowthem, or even cowzim. It’s “Cowboy” and that make this place heaven :).
That guy that moved back to Cheyenne was very disappointing. He was saying thing's that oddly show California life and people altered his views towards California. Maybe not California but the progressive direction as a positive. Like when he said "Wyoming has always been very conservative" and he excitingly said "but it's changing" Look at ANY democrat run city/state and it's full welfare homeless EVERYWHERE illegal immigrants taking good paying construction jobs from Americans etc.. Why would anyone think trickling progressive is good? That's what happened to Austin, TX. now it's Progressive Sanctuary in Texas changing voting stats which if more progressive people moved to Cheyenne it would desimate Wyomings tiny population overrun with liberals. We need states like that. It's just weird the state being what it has always been is what drew him back to get away from California but he wants to change it a little more like California. I'd say his type views are the "type" to forever kill that Wyoming people like Nick and sooooo many more Americans. Very disappointing. Take care
Agree, I made a comment similar. The way he said “old people”, 😳 rather disrespectful. Does he not have parents, grandparents? Those “old people” are why it’s stayed peaceful and clean.
@@soonerbmama6727 I agree 100%. You could just feel he is the type and maybe him personally that will wipe away what everyone is attracted to by having those rap concerts etc. His comments should concern everyone that lives there. Like he said it was slow and he didn't feel he belonged so left to California saw how shitty California is longed for Wyoming but wants to bring California there. Amazing he doesn't see it.
❤❤❤❤We are #1!! Cheyenne, Wyoming!!! My best most favorite episode of all everrrr!! ❤❤❤❤ Glad you made it Nick! ❤💯👍💯✌️ Seeing my city through your lens makes is look so much more beautiful. Love it! Stay out Caliradoans!! 🤮🤮🤮
Wyoming is garbage. Full of tweaker and cops that arrest people over marijuana possession. They are stuck in the passed and aren't getting much brighter anytime soon.
I never comment, but watch all of your videos. My youngest brother lives in Sheridan, I have been twice and love that State!! He is close to the Big Horn Mountains. GREAT VIDEO Nick!
I once met a rapper from Wyoming who was on tour, stopping by Sactown. I asked him what the heck is there to do out there. He said smoke meth or work in the oil fields. I about died of laughter. He worked in the oil industry for the record lol. But that was one man's take. Thank you for doing these vids. I don't get to travel much. So your videos are as close as I get. Much love from Siskiyou county CA!
@@NickJohnson it's great up here man. Yreka has become tweaker central sadly :/ but Scott Valley where I live is still rural and nice. I live in Callahan, CA. Like 250 here and most of em live off the beaten trail. Like I said I'd love to share an ice cold beer with you at the Callahan Emporium someday! Thank you for the videos and keep up the great work!!!
I love how Dominick Syracuse starts the interview, by interviewing you, right off of the bat. That's great. Mid westerner charm there. I lived in Omaha Area, Bellevue. For a long time. That is prevalent there too
Love all your adventures ❤. I used to line dance at the Brandon Iron back in the early 90s. It was a great hangout and my friends actually had their wedding there 😁. Keep on being YOU 👍🙌
I always do a double take when Nick pops up onscreen wearing a 'costume'. 👀😃 Thanks for the tour Nick, the social structure there sure seems laid-back. Maybe your next venture can be ghost 👻 hunting! ❤️ to Nick and family.
Teton County and Albany County vote democrat every year. That's because Jackson is CA east, and Albany county is where UW is. They are the only ones who voted for Cheney in the last primary. Cheyenne is WAAAAAAAAAAAY too much like Denver but not as liberal as Jackson or Laramie.
The guy you talked to is everything that is wrong with Californians moving to these small cities. He should have just stayed in LA where there are plenty of BLM signs everything. Can we not just have a few spaces without that shit? Yeah, can't stand that guy.
Great video. Looks like a great place to live except for the cold weather. I like the idea of being a red state. I dont see a lot of tents or homeless people. I guess the weather is too cold. I like the idea of being clean and laid back. Thanks for sharing.
I went to frontier days as a kid in the 1960s. Frontier days was relatively small compared to what it is today. Real carnival. Lots of alcohol. Real rowdy.
As a New Yorker I never “got” these places. Denver feels like a small town to me. Either way, it’s nice that people can find a place they like. This country is a big place
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I'm a transplant myself and finally found my happy place. From Atlanta most of my life to Denver for 11 years and finally made it home. Just one comment, next time you come to visit, if you're looking for ethnic food that isn't mexican food, check out Durbar Nepalese and Indian Bistro! YUM!!! And please tell me that you ate at The Bunkhouse when you stopped there.
@@NickJohnson Something you might find interesting...there is a bull named Howdy Doody that rides shotgun in a car that has gone viral. On the side of the car is a sign "Best Car Entry," something they received from the Nebraska's Big Rodeo (the one in Burwell, Nebraska) parade.
Hey I live here. The commuters from Colorado and the increase number of jobs at FE are really changing Cheyenne (for the worse). Cheyenne is a shit show during frontier days and its only gotten worse, they've got knife and gun detectors now, unamerican. Our 'scary' side of town is south of the tracks, downtown is pretty nice. Frontier antiques gave up their FFL so they don't sell guns anymore.
You mean for the better soon weed will be legal and no lives will be ruined over a plant. It's called progression. Things evolve we don't stay the same forever if we did we'd make no progress.
@@centertonarkansastyrantpatrolLiterally nobody was talking about weed but thank you for enlightening us. Also, ruining the culture of a city/state and what makes it special, is not progress. Rich out-of-state city people moving in, bringing their problems with them, and buying up houses and ranches and raping the land, while pushing the locals out, bringing up housing costs and taxes is not progress.
@@centertonarkansastyrantpatrolyour main progression argument is about a drug? It always starts with "medicinal" use. Then recreational. Then before long people are fighting over meth and fentanyl addicts everywhere. It's happened over and over all across the country
@bruceh4180 Weed doesn't make you do other drugs or have all those problems. The issue is caused when the whole country doesn't make weed legal cuz then people flood the states that are.

The lack of graffiti everywhere in utah and Wyoming vs places like California and denver is glaringly obvious
We have to protect these places
Denver is awful.
Lots of conservative Mormons in Wyoming.
Oh how I hate to see that crap, my son didn't do it and survived, aren't those buildings ugly enough with those markings? Yuck!
Salt lake city actually has a lot of graffiti, and homeless people.
I would imagine that the citizens of Wyoming protect Wyoming. 🥳🇺🇸
I had a friend who was a sushi chef downtown Manhattan. His doctor told him to leave NYC. He went on a big driving tour of the US. He told me the friendliest place in the whole country was Cheyenne, Wyoming. And that's coming from a Japanese guy that barely spoke English.
I can see Wyoming being a destination for Japanese tourists. That the coasts are just too sloppy.

Moved from Denver to Cheyenne six years ago. This video is spot on in its portrayal. I even know Dominic, so watching this is a bit surreal. Glad Nick had a good time!
Dominic for mayor. He understands the place.
Well, it isn't Denver. THAT IS GOOD!
I used to use to work Railroad Construction in Wyoming, and worked for an Oil Company.
I left for a job Opportunity in the late 90's out of state. I still miss Wyoming and the great people I met there. It's a great state🇺🇲
This is what happens when you put conservatives in office. If you go to a red city most of time law and order is turned on, no graffiti, no trash & needles everywhere, no homeless zombies walking around, affordable housing, great opportunity, low taxes, a well armed society, sense of community, faith/family, great schools, low crimes rates and most importantly kindness. No dark cloud looming over the city.
It requires an equally conservative populace or it'll go blue and turn into a shithole
Whats up with Kentucky and Louisiana cities?
The more rural parts of America are generally more conservative. Even in states that are blue, you can see from the election map, that all the blue states' Democratic votes come from the areas with high population density, and red votes come from the areas with lower population density. I think the mindset of people changes based on their surroundings.
I am willing to bet that there are some homeless and poor people in that area, it's just that maybe you can't see them.
Plus, the main reason why it probably won't become a highly urban area is because city folk won't want to live there. People tend to flock to areas where the weather is good, that is why they choose Southern California. So having cold winters can have a "herd thinning" effect. When I look at Cheyenne in this video (I have never been there, mind you), it looks like small town America to me. I have lived in Chicago, San Diego, Los Angeles, Austin and Honolulu. I love being in a big city for the cultural diversity. I am a Democrat, and would not want to live in a small town; not because I don't like Republicans (I don't) but because I don't mind the high population density in order to have more people around. Believe it or not, I feel safer in a big city than I do in a small town. Big cities have higher crime rates than small towns, but we should be looking at the per capita rates. I have lived in big cities for years, and I think someone broke into my car one time, years ago, but never had anyone break into my house, never been robbed at gunpoint, never been attacked by anyone. For the most part, I feel safe in the city.
Lol you forgot poor healthcare, poor education, poor higher education rate, poor job growth, poor opportunities and high drug addiction. So yeah. Let’s tell both sides.
@@alvarezgamers Those metrics you mentioned are from the South. You forgot that the midwest is highly educated, has high average IQ and doesn't have those problems you mentioned. In fact Omaha is on a red state with a republican mayor, Lincoln and Des Moines are doing well too.
I love Wyoming! I live in Montana and it's about 30 minutes to get to Wyoming from home. The people are very nice and the men call you Mam and hold the door for you.
Are you trying to tell me the guys in Montana won't hold the door open for you, I find that hard to believe!
@@prophetmargin7497 Only at church.
Men hold doors open for ladies where I live 🤷♀️ & I tell em Thank you, Sir!
I didn't know you could still hold a door open for a woman anywhere without being sued in court for sexual harrassment.
I hate being called "ma'am".
Cheyenne is a good town. Clean, safe, good economy. Only downside is brutal winters. Blizzards and white outs suck. They also get tornadoes. The people are hard workers and very respectful.
Blizzards! A good reason to move there, thanks! Tornadoes not so much.
I have driven through Wyoming a few times recently. A beautiful state especially around Yellowstone and the Bighorn National Forest. It’s a lot like Montana, a lot of open land and you can easily go a 100 miles without seeing another town.
@@TOCC50What about wages?
As someone who grew up in Cheyenne this is what I remember: windy all the time, not much to do (for young people), change comes very slowly (and the locals prefer it that way), and very little traffic. The people are unassuming and polite.
I left there in 88. Went back in 97. Went back for the second time since 88 a few weeks after this video. Not much has changed. That's a good thing and a bad thing, depending on your perspective. It was definitely like stepping into Back To The Future for me.
you sure about not much to do for young people? i grew up in Cheyenne as-well but the rode i was on was filled with boys and had a heck of a time, same for my elderly neighbors some of the best people ever (Freda and Ron)
Hey Nick I'm Australian I love watching your videos and am learning a lot about all the states cities and towns you do an amazing job love your sense of humor ❤ Wyoming what a beautiful state I grew up on western movies and would love to visit one day keep up the good work 😊
I'm from Ireland and drove through northern Wyoming, and it was really great. Wide open plains, small cowboy towns, and of course Devil's Peak ( from Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind ) :). It was mid summer, and just like driving through a western movie
I’m from Australia as well. What state you live at? I’m in Melbourne
Hey I’m from Sydney and I been watching these as I’m going to the states for the first time June 2024.Melissa from Australia 🇦🇺
@@melissainaus7955 good luck at your trip. Haven’t been to the states since I was like 8 or 9 though. But, wanted to come back eventually.
Many years ago in the 60s I signed off a ship in Sydney NSW, got pick pocketed in the Kings Cross part of Sydney on my first night at the pubs there, but I got a job the next day. One of my first breakfasts there I got a rump steak with beans and a couple of eggs and the waitress said I hope you like what we eat for breakfast in Australia, yeah right that's about what I had for breakfast being raised in Wyoming. I even worked for the Victoria State Rivers in Cahuna Victoria, kind of felt like back home except for the abundance of the vegetation, I have more sage brush than trees on my property on Wyoming. We don't mind folks visting our state but please don't think about moving here, we already have out of states people driving like idiots, having no respect for others and drag in their stinking liberal ideas.
This reminded me of going to a wedding in Nampa, Idaho. I'm a beach guy, shell necklace, Hawaiian shirt, tan, flipflops. Met a rodeo guy in the hallway at the motel. Big hat, Wrangler jeans, boots, dinner plate belt buckle. We both sized each other up and we both said at the exact same time, Sheeiittt! No fight ensued, we just shook our heads and went on our way.

We are thinking of going to Montana for a vacation.
Just visited my bestie & her family in Cheyenne a few weeks ago. I didn’t know what to expect, but came away jealous!! Lovely skies, nice folk and fantastic scenery. Was so disappointed to come back to my Houston reality 😅

thats how we weed out the sissies!
The winters are brutal!!!!!!
I’m from Florida and the winters and low humidity are why i want to move up there
Good! You can stay out!
My only regret with Wyoming is that I didn't move here sooner. I looked at Cheyenne when we were house hunting, but not seriously since it is so close to Colorado that it inevitably will before long be just like the festering Denver area. So, we found a great home in Gillette and never looked back. We do drive down to Denver once in a while and it is always a relief once we get past Fort Collins heading north on I25 as the insanity of traffic drops off right there, whew. The rest of the drive all the way home in Gillette is trafficless, yee haw. There is plenty to do in Gillette, and Casper and Cheyenne and Sheridan, and no problems or zombies walking the streets drugged up on who knows what these days. Kids can ride their bikes anywhere without a worry of weirdos or nasty people. And like you said Wyoming is kinda like how America was decades ago, peaceful, friendly, lawful, very much drug free, and we do shake hands here, and haven't met a nasty or bad person yet, my kind of place. Disclaimer: I'm a nonaffiliated independent conservative voter and you won't find me voting for any DemocRat, ever.
it's because all of america used to be 90% white, now only a few places like utah/idaho/montana/wyoming are that way.
Yay, spot on .Voting Democrat is suicidal

@@waynevaughan7159 If not Cheyenne, you could definitly live in the surrounding towns.
I love that in the US you have Wyoming, New York, California, Florida and they are all different. Americans have options. You can choose where you want to live, the state that suits you best. I don't understand why so many Americans hate that America is varied and want it all to be the same. How boring would that be. Each state, or region, is like a different country. Wouldn't it be wiser to celebrate the diversity of culture, travel to each other's regions and enjoy the differences, than argue and fight and try to make everything the same?
No one hates that america is varied that I know of
@@NickJohnson Well not hate, but rather not appreciate. The whole right vs left divide in this country is each side wanting to make all of Aemrica in their own vision, everywhere. The left want every city town and country to have the same values as San Francisco, while the right want every city town and county to have the same values as Wyoming. At least in the last 10 to 15 years or so. And there is no willingness to compromise anymore.
I do love Federalism.
The message from nearly all of Nick’s videos is that nearly everyone hates that America is now all the same. The variation has been lost under a ubiquitous lawlessness, drug addiction and homelessness. He’s forever lamenting how ‘clean and tidy’, wholesome and hopeful America used to be. Hence he likes Cheyenne.
Romanticising the past is self defeating, but maybe we can’t get used to the essential problem and that is over population, felt worse in the big countries - America, China, India.
I love that even in Cheyenne, there's a way to tie in California somehow as to it
growing in population, but only by virtue of another city in a bordering state.
I'm an Aussie, I have to tell you that what you call "blue states" don't look like nice places to visit, the people come across so hateful and horrible, not a place I'd like to visit, but your red states seem so welcoming, It's the America I'd like to visit, people seem laid back and relaxed.
You're spot on, Aussiebro.

The three left-leaning towns in Wyoming are Cheyenne… Laramie… and Jackson. The rest of the state is mostly populated by decent folk.
Are those the towns the California trash have relocated to? Idaho has Boise, the Californias who got turned into victims by “diversity” or can’t afford the tax’s move to safe, affordable red states then destroy it….blue locusts….
😂🎉
democrats are not decent folk? ok bro
I swear laramie is the coldest town in America. it's always the coldest in wyoming. damn ice planet hoth
😂😂😂 You're exactly right. Cheyenne is definitely leaning left. Makes me wonder when Laramie County will turn blue. Probably not for a while but it will happen.
Graduated HS in Cheyenne. Brutal winters that last from August through May. elevation 6200 feet, thousand feet higher than the mile high city.
People are great there.
Can't stand these younger kids who just can't be happy with where they live unless they get to change everything to achieve their vision of how they think it "should" be. Why don't they just move somewhere else that makes them happy? Why can't they just respect how the people that have lived there for a much longer time want to keep things the same? Everything always has to be "progress" with them.
Ron DeSantis brought progress to Florida.
@@jag92949yeah and now people are flocking there and it’s congested with overpopulation and traffic. Tbh it’s disgusting to me no matter how well the state is doing. So it’s a give and take type of deal. What Wyoming has works for them and you don’t fix what isn’t broken. I don’t want to see Wyoming become Florida tbh. Keep it open, wild and free.
I don't know if it's the kids, seems to me it's the meth and the fentanyl, and this stuff just devours them. The other thing that changes these places is money, people sitting on gains from real estate and stock market, and that buys stuff and makes housing expensive, and that's not kids either.

If I was 50 years younger and had a lot more money to get a fresh start somewhere, Wyoming would be the perfect place for me. I'm a conservative, vote Republican, love snow, not real fond of most people, independent as Hell and hate authority telling me what I can and cannot do, love nature and the outdoors, like open spaces, and love being left alone to mind my own business. Peace and quiet is paradise to me. I would most likely enjoy Cody more than Cheyenne though because of the nearness to the mountains. I have been to Wyoming once back in the mid-1980's, went to Jackson for a few days and fell in love with the area, never saw such beauty. I understand Jackson has been almost ruined by the rich Dem millionaires trying to take over and bring their progressive crap "change", such a crying shame. Too late for me now, but anyone moving to Wyoming, especially retirees with a good secure retirement income, would be what I consider very fortunate. Like moving back a bit to the good old days we old folks remember.

Good video. We moved to Wyoming right before I turned 18 in June of 1991. We moved to Shoshoni. My dad was supposed to be starting a job at some plant in the area. I went to work at a steak house that was opening. Supposed to be a waitress, the cook had a heart attack the first day of opening in the middle of the day. I got moved to the kitchen cuz I was the only one who knew how to cook. 😅 Ended up being the head cook for about 3 months. Met some of the nicest people. We were from TX, and met a neighbor who was also from TX waiting on the same job my dad was waiting on. Met some of the nicest people there. Weather was fabulous. Not hot at all compared to TX. Only got up in the 80's. I asked someone at work what the gates were for at the end of town both directions. They told me in the winter it snows so much the gates get closed cuz it's too dangerous to get on the highway. I got home that day and told my parents I'm moving back to TX, yall can hang out and wait for that job if you want, but I'm not trying to get locked in somewhere in that much snow 😂 we moved back home to TX a few weeks later, the job never started. Still was a neat town, and I would like to go back an visit some day. With a dad who worked a lot of nuclear plants and other big steel mills, I was fortunate enough to get to do a lot of traveling over the years.
Lol, it isn't so much the amount of snow, as it is the wind, and white-out conditions. (And the ice that forns on the roads)
I was in shoshoni for a little bit. I talk about it in another video coming out one day. ❤️
@@NickJohnson cool, not much in that town for sure. But sure nice ppl. One memory that really stands out, I just turned 50, I was 18 then, so it's been awhile. But my mom and I walked daily for exercise, and we would walk down to the little post office, there was also a small laundry mat there in town. We went to do laundry one day, waiting on our washer an dryer to be delivered, we probably weren't even in town for a week yet. We heard a lady and a kid screaming outside, step out to see what happened. The 2 yr old little girl was attacked by a dog, in the face. It was horrible, ended up with tons of stitches, I wanna say well over 100. I'll never forget that. I think of that family often.

Those in Wyoming like smaller towns with fewer people but then support Republicans who believe in large families with many children amd increasing population. But increasing population increases all the problems they are trying to avoid.
@@geodude7116 That's an astute point (with regard to population management). I am a fervent antinatalist, and I'm aware I'm in an extreme minority with this, but I believe that informed population self-control is much more effective than the polarisation of viewpoints caused by the culture war, involving gender and new identities, etc. All that's happened with the "new work" approach (i.e. "education" to reduce fertility rates) is that you have had 2 camps emerging: neo-Christian neoconservatives on one, and their opponents on absolutely everything, on the other. The neocons aren't multiplying like rabbits. Yet if you allocate more resources to their opponents, then their opponents would do all the same things as before (i.e. reproduce, travel, etc.) despite their avowed support for gender self-identities and other sociological experiments. It would become just another generational identity thing, similar to flower-power kids vs Gen X. This achieves absolutely nothing. It's time to get straight with people, right down to the very core philosophy of life. You can't treat people like a mere factor of production and then expect to manage them with these devices. It just isn't working. The wars, disease and famine will go on and nobody will trust people like Bill Gates, etc.

All of the viewers that like the “bad stuff” were almost disappointed but you did show a few things lol. Awesome video Nick. Your sense of humour is epic.
The differences between conservative communities versus liberal communities is night and day.
In theory, 35 years ago, Vermont was considered the most republican place in America.
Old crazy Bernie Sanders state.
Vermont was filled with people who just wanted to mind their business....which meant it only took a few ill willed people to get their BS pushed forward.
No state that doesn't realize that they have genuine enemies that want them to turn into Leftist shitholes can survive.
There needs to be some respect for the “old people who vote.” They have what the millennials sorely lack: Life experience and humility.
Keep having your graffiti and hip-hop festivals, because you need to put your stamp on everything, since you know better. The city will be in the sh*tter faster than you can shout “black lives matter.”
Copy that!
Finny because it's boomers and their refusal and easy gullibility that leads to this country declining.
I work with mostly millennials- tons of them, because the company I work for thrives off of hiring younger people. Most of them are hard working, educated, and non-political. They couldn’t give a shit whether you’re right or left- they have more urgent things to worry about, like - paying rent. Many of the “old people who vote” are fixated on the ideological standards that have been indoctrinated into them- mostly through fear. Maybe they could learn at least one two things from younger people.
@@patrickwoods2213well, if they are worried about paying rent, they should get political….my two millennial boys were taught by me to be involved or face the consequences.
@@aimaradiaz1840You should let your kids decide for themselves if they want to vote, instead of giving them ultimatums if they don’t. There are no consequences for not voting. Most people vote for the wrong reasons- because they were taught to vote a certain way, so they vote the way they were taught, instead of thinking for themselves.
1:05 “What’s it like in the cowboy State?” Well, read that sentence again. “Cowboy,” not cowthey, cowthem, or even cowzim. It’s “Cowboy” and that make this place heaven :).
My man Nick's production stepped up, looks like next level on smart tv
Thank you sir and mappy.
I really really appreciate these videos, Super Fun 🙂
That guy that moved back to Cheyenne was very disappointing.
He was saying thing's that oddly show California life and people altered his views towards California. Maybe not California but the progressive direction as a positive. Like when he said "Wyoming has always been very conservative" and he excitingly said "but it's changing" Look at ANY democrat run city/state and it's full welfare homeless EVERYWHERE illegal immigrants taking good paying construction jobs from Americans etc..
Why would anyone think trickling progressive is good? That's what happened to Austin, TX. now it's Progressive Sanctuary in Texas changing voting stats which if more progressive people moved to Cheyenne it would desimate Wyomings tiny population overrun with liberals. We need states like that. It's just weird the state being what it has always been is what drew him back to get away from California but he wants to change it a little more like California.
I'd say his type views are the "type" to forever kill that Wyoming people like Nick and sooooo many more Americans.
Very disappointing.
Take care
Agree, I made a comment similar. The way he said “old people”, 😳 rather disrespectful. Does he not have parents, grandparents? Those “old people” are why it’s stayed peaceful and clean.
@@soonerbmama6727 I agree 100%. You could just feel he is the type and maybe him personally that will wipe away what everyone is attracted to by having those rap concerts etc.
His comments should concern everyone that lives there.
Like he said it was slow and he didn't feel he belonged so left to California saw how shitty California is longed for Wyoming but wants to bring California there. Amazing he doesn't see it.
❤❤❤❤We are #1!! Cheyenne, Wyoming!!! My best most favorite episode of all everrrr!! ❤❤❤❤ Glad you made it Nick! ❤💯👍💯✌️ Seeing my city through your lens makes is look so much more beautiful. Love it! Stay out Caliradoans!! 🤮🤮🤮
Wyoming is garbage. Full of tweaker and cops that arrest people over marijuana possession. They are stuck in the passed and aren't getting much brighter anytime soon.
Right? Welcome to Wyoming now go home!
It's a beautiful part of the country, and clean landscape.
Graffiti is evolving? That statement made my head snap.
It’s not graffiti. It’s murals. Most of it is quite nice actually.
A thoroughly enjoyable video!😊❤
I never comment, but watch all of your videos. My youngest brother lives in Sheridan, I have been twice and love that State!! He is close to the Big Horn Mountains. GREAT VIDEO Nick!
Comment more David ❤️
Sheridan is really nice.
No rainbow flags and not many people. My kinda place.
Seriously. In my city in Massachusetts there’s 4 pride flags for every USA flag
@@brindlekintalesthese guys are always the ones bothering me in the restroom. Self hatred runs deep
Thank you Nick for this wonderful vurtual tour. I live in the Philippines. It looks peaceful there. I love it.
Laramie, WY Western TV show is awesome! Very good values to learn. Still relevant today.
I once met a rapper from Wyoming who was on tour, stopping by Sactown. I asked him what the heck is there to do out there. He said smoke meth or work in the oil fields. I about died of laughter. He worked in the oil industry for the record lol. But that was one man's take. Thank you for doing these vids. I don't get to travel much. So your videos are as close as I get. Much love from Siskiyou county CA!
I need to get up there and show everyone that part of CA one day.
@@NickJohnson it's great up here man. Yreka has become tweaker central sadly :/ but Scott Valley where I live is still rural and nice. I live in Callahan, CA. Like 250 here and most of em live off the beaten trail. Like I said I'd love to share an ice cold beer with you at the Callahan Emporium someday! Thank you for the videos and keep up the great work!!!
Keep the state red.
Wyoming the rare earths hope for the United States. Nice vid. Thanks.
Another great video Nick! You dodged a bullet.. I think all of the ghosts were waiting down in the basement for you. Lol
👻 👻 👀
Such a great video! Thank you!
I laughed out loud when Mappy got their gun back. Ha!
I love how Dominick Syracuse starts the interview, by interviewing you, right off of the bat. That's great. Mid westerner charm there. I lived in Omaha Area, Bellevue. For a long time. That is prevalent there too
Love all your adventures ❤. I used to line dance at the Brandon Iron back in the early 90s. It was a great hangout and my friends actually had their wedding there 😁. Keep on being YOU 👍🙌
The BI was my fave of all time
I always do a double take when Nick pops up onscreen wearing a 'costume'. 👀😃
Thanks for the tour Nick, the social structure there sure seems laid-back.
Maybe your next venture can be ghost 👻 hunting!
❤️ to Nick and family.
Ghosts don't show up for me 🤷🏻♂️
@@NickJohnson lol, you need to wear ghost spray. It's like that deer stuff, but for ghosts...
No wait, that could be bad. 👀
I wanna go to T-Joes! Excellent video… really enjoyed this one! My father was married in the Presbyterian church in Cheyenne.
Most Republican place on Earth? Sign me up! Sounds like a nice place.
Hey Nick, Thanks for the video, thanks for sharing 🐨🇦🇺
Teton County and Albany County vote democrat every year.
That's because Jackson is CA east, and Albany county is where UW is.
They are the only ones who voted for Cheney in the last primary.
Cheyenne is WAAAAAAAAAAAY too much like Denver but not as liberal
as Jackson or Laramie.
Yeeehaww to you and mappy! Love your show!!!
🤠
The guy you talked to is everything that is wrong with Californians moving to these small cities. He should have just stayed in LA where there are plenty of BLM signs everything. Can we not just have a few spaces without that shit? Yeah, can't stand that guy.
Great video. Looks like a great place to live except for the cold weather. I like the idea of being a red state. I dont see a lot of tents or homeless people. I guess the weather is too cold. I like the idea of being clean and laid back. Thanks for sharing.
No one wants to live there! That’s why there aren’t homeless.
Nick, as usual outstanding job.
I went to frontier days as a kid in the 1960s. Frontier days was relatively small compared to what it is today. Real carnival. Lots of alcohol. Real rowdy.
Damn it Nick!!!…..I must say I LOVE your channel!!!👍👍
As a New Yorker I never “got” these places. Denver feels like a small town to me.
Either way, it’s nice that people can find a place they like. This country is a big place
Leave your comfort zone for a few years and grow as a person. You can always go back to the city.
@@blizzardwarning5198 I have been away for a decade and I still miss home. Just moved to SF and it feels like 1/6 of Queens …
@@LucasDimoveo Sounds like Queens is without a doubt firmly in your heart. Hope you can get back home some day.
I am impressed with this video. At last a travel video with signs of life.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I'm a transplant myself and finally found my happy place. From Atlanta most of my life to Denver for 11 years and finally made it home. Just one comment, next time you come to visit, if you're looking for ethnic food that isn't mexican food, check out Durbar Nepalese and Indian Bistro! YUM!!! And please tell me that you ate at The Bunkhouse when you stopped there.
Bunkhouse was closed
@@NickJohnson Bummer! Well come back and see us soon! Glad you enjoyed your visit!
A+ video!
Awesome video of Cheyenne!
A++
@@NickJohnson Something you might find interesting...there is a bull named Howdy Doody that rides shotgun in a car that has gone viral. On the side of the car is a sign "Best Car Entry," something they received from the Nebraska's Big Rodeo (the one in Burwell, Nebraska) parade.
Hey I live here. The commuters from Colorado and the increase number of jobs at FE are really changing Cheyenne (for the worse). Cheyenne is a shit show during frontier days and its only gotten worse, they've got knife and gun detectors now, unamerican. Our 'scary' side of town is south of the tracks, downtown is pretty nice. Frontier antiques gave up their FFL so they don't sell guns anymore.
You mean for the better soon weed will be legal and no lives will be ruined over a plant. It's called progression. Things evolve we don't stay the same forever if we did we'd make no progress.
@@centertonarkansastyrantpatrolLiterally nobody was talking about weed but thank you for enlightening us. Also, ruining the culture of a city/state and what makes it special, is not progress. Rich out-of-state city people moving in, bringing their problems with them, and buying up houses and ranches and raping the land, while pushing the locals out, bringing up housing costs and taxes is not progress.
What is un- American about gun detectors? In the 1800's there was more gun control laws in many towns than there is now. You knew that, right?
@@centertonarkansastyrantpatrolyour main progression argument is about a drug? It always starts with "medicinal" use. Then recreational. Then before long people are fighting over meth and fentanyl addicts everywhere. It's happened over and over all across the country
@bruceh4180 Weed doesn't make you do other drugs or have all those problems. The issue is caused when the whole country doesn't make weed legal cuz then people flood the states that are.
30:00 awesome!!! I used to see this in movies and I remember Rango movie, missed it. I dreamt of going to a place like this, a saloon, wild west, a cowboy's bar, a wagon, a tumbleweed. The real American deal. Great place, Wyoming. Such a gem!
