Thank you Chris! I find your videos very helpful especially your videos in Missouri. I will be moving soon to St. Louis County from the Philippines for work. Looking forward to more videos especially in Missouri. 🤍🤍🤍
Thanks so much for this 2023 glimpse into my hometown. I grew up in Warrenton in the 1970s and 80s and haven't visited in 20 years. I didn't even realize they built a new high school in a new location, and I see they have a new water tower now. Where you crossed the train tracks at the 11:00 mark, my grandfather used to take me to that exact spot to see the historic runs of the old Norfolk & Western 611 steam locomotive as it chugged through. Growing up in Warrenton in the 1980s was growing up in safe, small town America, and it's a place that sadly doesn't exist anymore.
The old Schowendgerdt House is on the right at 14:15 through 14:30. I remember Mr. & Mrs. Schowendgerdt would open their home to the public on Easter weekend and also Christmastime and my parents and I would walk through. It was a mansion to us. The last store in the strip mall on the right at 15:09 (currently Orscheln) used to be MatCo (and later Places), and I'd save my allowance to buy Star Wars figures there in the 80s. Beside it was Steve's True Value Hardware where my dad would get all the things we needed to work on the old farmhouse we lived in. On the left at 15:34 was a donut shop where we'd get donuts most Saturday mornings. Old Warrenton High on the left at 15:40 (currently Blackhawk Middle School) and my little league field on the right. It used to be the high school followed by the junior high followed by the elementary school, Daniel Boone Elementary on the left corner at 16:18. We had to walk past the older kids in high school and junior high to get to our class each morning (most of us walked starting in kindergarten). I lived on McKinley near the railroad tracks (if you would have taken a left at 20:48 instead of a right, you would have passed my house).
Also strongly remember the old library (there’s a new one now) and drug store on main street that my siblings would walk to and buy candy by the piece.
Our County court house was on the a historical list but they tore it down any way. A person in Warrenton offered them acreage to build on instead of tearing down the old structure but the city turned it down. Downtown has little retail business, mostly office spaces. We did get a new grocery store and a new farm store is being built in the same block.
I grew up in Wellsville, Mo., about 35 miles west of Warrenton. Used to drag race my cars at Mid-American Raceways, there back in the late 60's, early 70's.
Chris, I see you "love" walmart as much as I do. LOL Were kicking the around idea of moving from CA maybe to Idaho, Texas, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania or Maine. I look for places without a Walmart, CDA in Idaho has a city ban on letting a Walmart move in.
Gotta love Walmart coming to communities and putting local chains and mom and pop stores out of business. Then they raise the prices or in some cases close and leave a community with few to no grocery store or general merchandise store. That's why I shop at my local chain store that has always paid good wages and doesn't care about big profits.
For your information Cascades and Refresco are located in the City of Truesdale, not Warrenton. Truesdale also has a new subdivision under construction with 190+ homes. The City is growing and I am very proud to live here.
You forgot to mention ‘Warrenton’ Oil Company (Fast Lane gas stations) which is actually in Truesdale so Baker doesn’t have to contribute anything to the town he named his company after :/
I am sorry to hear that, I did the opposite. Trying to do my part to leave a better planet to future generations (or one at all) by living car-free and it was a miserable existence out there.
@St. Louis I lived in Lafayette Square for years. Had an old Victorian Rowhouse. The crime down there is horrendous. It's not safe any where out there anymore. Between getting my car broken into multiple times, an attempted car jacking, and attempted robbery just walking down the street. You have to stay strapped 100% of the time out there, or someone will take you out.
My husband and I moved here from Dardenne Prairie. While I miss being close to my friends, we love our neighbors, our church, and our peaceful community.
We're buying some property southwest of Warrenton. We've looked all over as far south as Farmington up to Silex. Basically, we drew a 75-mile radius from the arch. Warrenton is one of the "better" areas. Yes, inside city limits, things seem a little sketchy. However, all small cities/towns from the early 1800s have their share of blight. I couldn't imagine being wedged in by Wentzville or St. Charles, etc. We'll be far enough away, yet not too far.
I lived in O'Fallon, MO for 17 years, but moved back to St. Charles (New Town) seven years ago. You should do a video on New Town..it's beautiful, and unlike any other area in the state.
The Non-Profit organization Strong Towns has a video on New Town you should check it out! I like how the developers of it tried to minimalize car accommodations, although I wish they would built dense(r) mixed-usse developments with metrolink access instead.
No he doesn’t he says nothing nice about anywhere! I live near there and he’s reading from a book and not speaking to one resident! I can read Wikipedia which is not always correct!
Warren, Franklin, and Lincoln County are all growing because people can live out in the peace and solitude of the country but still work good paying jobs in St.Louis City/County and only have about a 45 minute commute.
@@StLouis-yu9iz Good luck convincing Warren county planning and zoning board or the Warrenton Aldermans of that, they don’t allow affordable residential construction despite our desperate need for low-income housing.
The only way to solve car traffic is to provide alternative modes of transportation and not spread everything out. They constantly block dense developments near downtown and only approve single family subdivisions that clear wilderness on the edges of town. :/
Forgot to ask, how about adding what the local laws about defending your family, home and property, if you would get in trouble like Patricia and Mark McCloskey in St. Louis did. Again a outstanding watch..... Well back to work for me......
@@edwardhaglin2322 "Peaceful protesters??????" Leave the basement and go see the real world, also get some fresh air and sun ---- it's that big round bright thing in the sky.
@@StLouis-yu9iz ????? Have been to St. Louis many times----yes even in the arch. But not for Cardinals games, always been a Red Sox's fan----no we don't live in Boston, too much $$$$$ for a house with a big yard.
@@edwardhaglin2322 Those peaceful protestors threatened the lives of the homeowner, threatened to kill their house pets, and broke through a gated barrier. Low IQ is no excuse. And they did not wave their "gums."
Warrenton used to have a Skatebarn for roller skating but of course closed it down. Now that place is an "antique mall" with a bunch of pretentious bowlsh1t.
i uae to drliver used lumber to a now dead blind freind of mine infact u drove right past his house . i know the town quit well now thre is a old outlet mall thats mostly empty but just to the west of it there is a hung new rual king . should rally go to it & trough it
To me it appears like a lot of folks that just got tired of the crime, violence and "wokeness" of St Louis. They look self sufficient with their own job growth. One question, on the stats used to determine family income, does that take into account the percentage of retirees who show small income but homes and autos are paid? This town looks to have a higher percentage and if just income is taken into account, the numbers are not what they appear to be. Looks like not much goes on there in town but I bet that's just the way they like it.
The median household income number comes from official US Census data, so I would guess that it would count for all households regardless of age and work status. Not sure how many of those retirees would be here though.
Define wokeism .seems like foxholes can't define your current trigger of your angertainment .i can define fascism .it's the use of hate and violence to gain power .funny you don't notice that define what the republican party was become .sorry I meant Russpublican party
There are always nuances that the numbers don't reflect, for instance; most of StL is actually very safe and if by 'woke' you mean trying to build mixed-use walkable developments than i guess so... I grew up in Warrenton and my parent lives there so I can tell you, that's not the way they like it. They want it to be like Wentzville. That's why they financed and built an overpass to nowhere on the west side of town. They want more big box stores and cookie-cutter subdivisions.
I enjoyed this video very much. Missouri would be the perfect state if you could remove St. Louis and Kansas City. And when I say perfect I mean Missouri would be truly what it is: rural. The slums at either end are just hellish. I grew up in University City, Missouri, a glorified slum with bragging rights because of Washington University. Believe me, the rural parts of this state are serene compared to the urban areas. The urban areas are hell on earth.
So you want to remove Warrenton too..? That is not country. If you really want to promote rural areas you should champion our cities. Dense mixed-use development is the only way to preserve more nature, not the car-centric suburbia Warrenton is trying to copy.
@@StLouis-yu9iz Never even suggested that. You miss my point. Urban crime festers and grows like a cancer. I've seen a lot of it. My Mom grew up on the South Side of Chicago during WWII. My Dad lived in New York City. They chose St. Louis as a suitably urban environment with good suburbs--but the State of Missouri is pristine by comparison. The St Louis murder rate per-capita is terrifying. And to be honest, most St Louisans couldn't find Warrenton on the map--because to them it is the country. This, of course, is relative. I have cousins in Sikeston, kids with families west of the Missouri, family in Graham, Missouri way up north. I know the state quite well--and St Louis is a war zone. I doubt the same can be said for Warrenton.
We need the cities for good paying union construction/office jobs and medical care. I drive to St. Louis everyday for work because there aren’t any good paying jobs up my way. Same with medical care if you need a specialist or have a serious injury everyone always gets flighted to St. Louis.
@@superbug1977 well I grew up in Warrenton and moved to StL city because the suburbs do feel like a war zone for those that don’t want to own a vehicle. Which is more and more young Americans, that’s why the suburban growth Ponzi Scheme is sputtering out. Car infrastructure is horribly inefficient and damaging, that’s why most of st Charles county is way uglier than the city despite the infrastructure there being only a couple decades versus centuries old.
@@MorrisMeseke maybe because it’s depressing to drive through recently clearness wilderness that is being filled with cheap car-centric developments. :[
Hey Were building in Warrenton The Family owned Business i work for are doing Bigger things than this guy could Fathom ! Maybe you should get a flannel Jack A$$ and sweat
@@ChrisHarden say what you want . It ain’t happening. Not saying its not growing…. Just nowhere near rest of the state . And if theres data otherwise…. Its falsified.
Not completely accurate. I delivered mail in Warrenton for 30 years. They do have a Walmart and that is not the original county courthouse. I guess wasn't expecting much when you began the video making fun of the residents of the town. Oh, and maybe you might consider obeying the traffic laws when you do these videos. The only time you made a full stop was when you had a stop sign and cross traffic didn't or when you had a stop light.
@@jasminecromer6760 so true. I grew up there and the main street has so much potential, but they want to pour all resources into trying to make the outlet mall work when it has been dead since like the early 2000's. Putting the DMV out there has at least allowed the new Mexican joint to make it but I would rather they have been downtown. :/

so I have heard. I plan to never return.@@Dear_toga
Warrenton is on MO-47 along with Union, Washington and Troy, all fast growing communities that mark the western edge of the St. Louis area.
Our County court house was on the a historical list but they tore it down any way. A person in Warrenton offered them acreage to build on instead of tearing down the old structure but the city turned it down. Downtown has little retail business, mostly office spaces. We did get a new grocery store and a new farm store is being built in the same block.
Such a shame. Also I am not sure I would consider that area a "block" more a car-centric blob next to the highway. :(

My family had a farm near Hawk Point .I still love that land .it's a disc golf course now .
Must be near Satan's Tunnel?

Warrenton is not a city, but a town, I believe
Simple answer. The same reason they originally moved from STL County. That reason just moved closer to them and they are bailing.
Warrenton has grown even more since you took your video.
Not in the right ways unfortunately, it continues to sprawl out instead of investing in what is already there. :{

The only time you made a full stop was when you had a stop sign and cross traffic didn't or when you had a stop light.
Hmm. Ok Catladysue.
Dude, I drove a mail truck for 30 years. Safety matters, as does showing people a modicum of respect.
Looks undeveloped and ran down
It's a meth town.
@@jlorenzo4355 I live in it TRUST ME kids in the schools have vapes and meth
It’s run-down because it’s been trying to develop for the car instead of people. :[
because it is. they’re trying to expand and make all new houses and buildings but don’t want to take care of the ones we have. also lots of meth.
@@jasminecromer6760 so true. I grew up there and the main street has so much potential, but they want to pour all resources into trying to make the outlet mall work when it has been dead since like the early 2000's. Putting the DMV out there has at least allowed the new Mexican joint to make it but I would rather they have been downtown. :/
hey DK Head Fentynal and meth are 2 different drugs
please quit moving here :)))
I wouldn't be too worried. Why would someone want to move there? It is horribly car-centric.
wheres the truesdale cop when hes needed this guy clearly speeding , No respect
An update on Keokuk please
I doubt that much has changed in Keokuk since I’ve been there
