We don’t like to wood carve
BTW I’m from Billings
Its crazy that all these states are in the same country but its like visiting a different planet
Yeah, Phoenix, Anchorage, Portland Maine, Los Angeles and New York are all so different in landscape, culture and people.
chargers fan123 because the continental united states is bigger than europe. you’re bound to get diversity in a place bigger than europe
Lol yeah, USA got lucky just being left to a continent that no one thought could be too big but now is home to 2 crazy huge countries. (USA and Canada)
@@lucasmansfield7955 phoenix- desert
anchorage- eternal cold
portland- calm east coast sea culture
los angeles- endless entertainment and fun
new york-bustling metropolis
If you take distance into account the cultural difference is pretty small when comparing to places like Europe or south east Asia
Swaziland just wanted to be on Geography Now sooner
Lol
curiousbird 😂😂
Maybe Zimbabwe needs to do that.
Zimbabwe will become abcinabwe
Actually it was to make it not be confused with Switzerland
There are 2 main reasons Ohioans don't like Michigan
1. Land dispute in the 1800's
2. Football
I never thought it would be so hard to explain buckeyes to non-Ohioans. Growing up in Columbus, watching Brutus dance around every week on TV I always thought, "yeah. This isn't weird."
@@16kauffmanh lol same
aidenthesnork we shall take our rightful land one day. Although we totally won the Toledo War. We got all of the UP, so not a bad prize. But we shall take our land
Yeah football because we have two major teams that are both great but michigan is better go blue
@@16kauffmanh Let's be honest, as a native Ohioan, when somebody mentions Buckeyes to me, I'm thinking of what the rest of the nation erroneously calls "chocolate-covered peanut butter fudge balls". Much more tasty than some nut that is actually poisonous. And you can share them with your friends without killing them! And the name is a lot less convoluted to say! :)
"Omaha is the city that you're born in so that you can move out" 😭😭 so true!!
idk that’s what actually m’apprend with me lmao
You can say the same with Charleston, West Virginia. Or West Virginia in general. Trust me I'm from there. We have lost 100s of thousands of people. You grow up here, you get your education cause you get perks and you move south. It's boring here, there's no jobs, and just really nothing outside of Charleston, Huntington, and Morgantown.
funny because I moved to Omaha from the East Coast, and can't wait to leave

I’m from jersey and I was afraid he was gonna make Newark sound terrible
Naaa.. newark has plenty to uphold, it's got good old MetLife (giants stadiums) along with the mecca of a campus in Princeton, which held probz the 'best' series spanning the 00s (only low it's known for few movies: Garden State and Nerve)
haha bro i’m a south jersey dude so sorry but it sucks jk
I’m from south jersey and I only go up there for the airport so all I see is gross pollution and pipes pumping out gas that smells horrible sadly
SAME HAHA
Newark, NJ: We know you only come for the airport
Portland
“There’s probably like a ton of lesbians over there.”
😂😂😂
I thought that was Northampton, Mass.
evilmick66 That would be my guess too lol.
hahaha you beat me to it
And LORD do Northampton pedestrians leer at people driving cars in their town. But I love that town so much.
We are all better for you, Smith girls.
can confirm
I’m from the Milwaukee area and I’m currently living in Houston and I just have to say... you nailed it with both.
I'm a bit late, I'm from Milwaukee too, Best way to past the summer tbh.
God I love Milwaukee...
As an Houstonian, he really did hit on the nail.
As someone who literally lives 20 minutes away from Dallas, I was a little disappointed that he only talked about us for like 30 seconds
Fun Fact! Philadelphia was the biggest city in the USA for awhile until the Erie Canal was created. The Erie Canal led people right to NYC instead of Philadelphia causing NYC's economy to skyrocket faster than any major city at the time.
Tyrangelo It was still the 2nd biggest city until 1890 and the 3rd biggest until 1960
Philly had its glory days. Nothing compared to how it used to be.
@@insaneusername8340 excuse me it’s still
Good 😌
@@insaneusername8340 Hey at least it's not Detroit
@@insaneusername8340 at least we're not Chicago or Cleveland lmfao
definitely right about lots of lesbians in Portland
Yep
Josh Hancock probably more in Seattle
Truth.
sasquatch 747 nope. Seattle doesn’t have many lesbians. Portland has many
Portland, Oregon or Portland, Maine?
I've got an idea for new filler-week-video: Summarize Europe's capital cities in the same way, please!
Jack Daw Agree!😊
Yes please!
Yes!
Jack Daw agreed totally
Jack Daw great idea. 🇮🇪🇺🇸👏👍
Am from Billings, I suppose I have seen a few people do wood carvings. And yes, we were your typical wild west town in the 1870s-1890s before we settled down. Our first sheriff was called Liver Eatin' Johnson.
What kind of livers did he eat?
andyjay729
The legend was that he ate the livers of all the people he killed but there isn't any proof of that
would be funny if he got that name after loosing a bet XDD
Super Catman from kalispell glad to see another Montanan here
True Montanans represented here!
"Burlingtons all about being diverse, even though only like 2 black people live there." HAHAHAHAHA sooo truuuee
Sums up the left pretty well hahaha
@@bustinbinden this has nothing to do with that
@Emil as in on a video about cities, where someone points out a funny line, that has nothing to do with what Justin was talking about. Why can’t we leave politics out of this? We don’t need people getting more mad at each other.
@Emil fine, I’ll shut up if it makes people happy
Sooooo UNtrue. Burlington, Vt. has 2,454 black people living in it. That 5.7 of the population. Not a lot, but not the tiny few that uninformed critics of Burlington, and by extension, critics of Bernie Sanders would have you think.
Please do Largest cities in Canada
Lol other than toronto and vancuver there is not really much of a city😂😂😂
•Jasa• • Montreal is like the second largest city in Canada, and Calgary is quite large.
@@lunare_ yes but they are very small compare to cities in america europe and asia
@@jasastopar Canada IS part of America.

Providence is Little Boston. I grew up about 30 minutes away, and I always liked going to Providence more than Boston. Providence is smaller, and way less congested.
Yeah, a lot of historical sites in a small area. You can do most of Providence on a walking tour though College Hill can be a pain.
Yeah, this. Though it should also be mentioned that it lives in the shadow of Boston a bit. Boston sucks up a lot of cultural and economic energy.
I think outside the US Providence is known mainly because of H.P. Lovecraft.
Andrew Winslow, as a Bostonian I take major offense to this. We are superior to all other cities in every way. ESPECIALLY NEW YORK
About Albuquerque: Why on Earth didn't you mention this was the place where Bugs Bunny always made that wrong turn in his travels, Paul? That would have been interesting to note.
Also didnt mention the Weird Al song
This was the comment I was looking for
Here is some more fun facts about Salt lake City
-High School musical was filmed here.
-2002 winter Olympics was hosted here.
Also, and this is totally true, it was home to the first KFC restaurant! But the one got tore down and doesn't exist anymore.
@@emridatla3886 I was wondering about that,i mean i'm from the Netherlands and i'v been in the US, for the first time, last year and we drive by Salt Lake City but didn't had time to stop there but if it's gone than we couldn't find it anyway LOL
@@kcmm1971 Yup, it's now a business park.
@@emridatla3886 LOL Okay then :D
SLC Punk was filmed there?
Moving back to Jakarta, Indonesia, I love it when someone mentions “Sioux Falls” cause I ‘ve spent a lot of time and had many memories there. If I am gonna ended up in the United States, I would consider Sioux Falls as a place where I want to live. (Suddenly remember the terrible winter , blizzard, and requires a lot of driving plus the closest big cities are only Rapid City, Omaha and Minneapolis and takes 2.5 to 4.5 hours to get there)
But yeah. I still love this small yet convenient city in the middle of nowhere with bisons that indicate that I have entered SD from Minnesota via I-90)

This is rather cool, and well researched. I like it. You should do a Part 3....for the largest communities not in the 50 states. Pago Pago, American Samoa; Washington, DC; Hagatña, Guam; Saipan, Northern Mariana islands; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Charlotte Amalie, US Virgin Islands.
raakone I wouldn't say it's well researched. He makes very large assumptions, the one about Burlington, ( the city I live in), is very wrong. Kinda seems like he just read off a wikipedia page, but it's a filler episode so..
I felt that too
This is hardly well researched!
I live in Norfolk, VA at the moment. And the reason Virginia Beach is the largest city in VA is because they decided to make the whole county a part of the city. It can take between 10-50 minutes from Norfolk to get to different parts of Virginia Beach depending on where you’re going. It’s totally insane.
Providence native here to give you some info about the place. Way too much info, perhaps.
-PVD has a ton of great restaurants. While there is a big Portuguese presence, Italians are probably the most represented ethnicity, and they make pretty good food. There are also lots of nice Asian joints nowadays.
-There's a rich horror tradition; ghost tours are a big thing, Edgar Allen Poe lived here for a time, and Lovecraft is buried in the city. His resting place, Swan Point Cemetery, is really gorgeous in terms of both nature and grand burial statuary. Can't recommend it enough for a stroll or or bike ride in the area.
-It's very much a college town. Brown's influence is unavoidable- they own a huge percentage of the prime real estate, and are constantly building and expanding further still. But it's not the only school; there's a well-regarding culinary school, as well as RISD. The latter college contributes hugely to Providence's status as an arts town; it bills itself as "The Creative Capitol."
-Providence was actually a big deal in manufacturing back in the day. The city and surrounding bergs (looking at you, Pawtucket!) are littered with enormous mill buildings in varying stages of decay. Those that are well-preserved have been converted into pretty cool spaces, but many others are too dilapidated for anyone to try fixing them, and serve merely to contribute to the grimy urban atmosphere. Keep in mind that Rhode Island is super densely populated, beat out in that category only by New Jersey, and most Rhode Islanders live in the Providence metro area; parts of it are just packed, and it feels like a fully-fledged City not all that much smaller than Boston, though Boston dwarfs Prov by a good four or five times.
-The public infrastructure is notoriously bad. Our roads are the worst in the country, as are the bridges I believe; one of the city's celebrated landmarks is an old upright bridge that failed very early on and was never moved from its position. Between that and the weird insular culture here ("I Never Leave Rhode Island" bumper stickers are common), it feels rather backwards and stagnant, despite being forward-looking and inventive in so many ways.
-Providence has an array of top-notch theater companies. If you have the opportunity
, I particularly recommend a theater called the Gamm. Between such high culture, the great dining, and the convenient location between New York and our cool big bro Boston, there's plenty of appeal for well-off city folk. Taxes being what they are, such people are just about all you'll find in a number of neighborhoods.
-There has historically been a huge mafia presence in Providence, and to some extent that's still the case. Faith in local government tends to be low, and compared to neighboring cities this one is notoriously corrupt. One of the most fondly-remembered mayors was a guy with plenty of organized crime connections, who managed to turn the town around for the better in many ways despite his nepotism and cronyism. He was jailed, eventually, and what's really wild is that the man ran for the office again, FROM PRISON, just a few years ago, and was a popular option. Were it not for his death around this time, we Providencers (?) (still not sure what our demonym is) might have been in for an interesting time.
-However, oddly, it's really quite a peaceful place; the annual murder rate is consistently several times smaller than those of nearby metro areas, though given how grim the competition is (Worcester, Bridgeport, Hartford, and their ilk all more or less hellscapes in comparison) I'm not sure how amazing that really is.
-We have awesome libraries. Check out the Athenaeum, you book lovers out there.
-Some huge corporations roost in or near Providence. CVS was founded here, and their stores are inescapable. Perhaps biggest of them all is Hasbro; a lot of people are employed in the world of games and toys and content for children and bronies. Unfortunately Hasbro, along with Brown, the city's prominent hospitals, and a few other parties hold enormous amounts of sway and land, and it's easy to feel like they're the ones who really reap the benefits around here.
-Also, Providence has a lovely children's museum. Can't recommend it enough for the under-10 crowd.
-This is an extremely Catholic city, maybe the most papist in the nation. Clergy have a lot of influence.
-There are also a whole lot of Jews. Many are intellectuals, professors and the like. There are some impressive synagogues in town, in addition to some of America's oldest churches. It's a big (relatively speaking) hub for Unitarian Universalists as well.
Phew, okay, chances are no one will read this whole thing, but it was fun to write. TL; DR- Providence is a kinda cool quirky city marred by stagnation, and while I can't necessarily recommend moving here, it's a place well worth a visit in its own right.
Thank you for this lovely text. I was looking for something like this, like a word from a Providence native when I was writing the eponymous song. After reading this, I felt as if know so much more about your city.
So... check out the song called Providence by Rain Delay.
Very long story short, the song is about a young couple and their romance in a beautiful town in Serbia (yeah, in Europe, neither Siberia nor Syria...) called Novi Sad. Providence here is the nickname for Novi Sad which I made as a portmanteau of the words "promise" and "evidence". However, it is also inspired by your beautiful city which I have never been to, but hopefully will one day.
I’ve been to Providence and I have to say this
Everyone sleeps during the weekends till like 11:00!
Thank you!! The "do something" comment bothered me a little. I am a RI guy who has been around the country. The most common mistake people make when they find out where I'm from is that they think I'm from new york. People think rhode island is part of new york I'm sure because they confuse it with long island. The rt 195 bridge before they changed it back in the 2000's was thee single worst bridge in the world at the time. Mayor Cianci marinara is a very good product btw
Wasnt tv show named Providence? It was aired in my country, never watched it though... i guess it is based in the city of Providence
@@colinafobe2152 I never heard of it. There was a funny movie called "outside providence" that was based there. Watch it sometime if you want to laugh
You forgot to mention that Shaquille O'neal is also from Newark, NJ! You can't forget Shaq bro come on!
Is he rlly? That’s amazing also kyrie Irving grew up in West Orange, NJ, right next to the town where I live
Newark has a lot of famous ppl
As someone who lives literally 10 minutes from Providence I can say that Providence is probably the doughnut capital of the world, it also is basically the only place you can find coffee milk other than maybe South-eastern Massachusetts. All the people have an accent of a New Yorker crossed with a Bostonian, and they are all Friar fans.
Oh yeah everyone is basically Portuguese by the way.
Is there still a Tim Horton's in Pawtucket? Canada's beach head in the land of Dunkin' Donuts!
@@TheGlennergy No more Tim Horton's sadly. That one closed a bit ago. I remember it closing sometime when I was in high school so it has to be at least 8 years at this point. It's a Pizza Hut now
He could have talked about how we were basically ran by the mob up until 30 years ago. Waterfire. The Biltmore being haunted. HP Lovecraft.
The doughnut capitol is Portland Oregon 100% Voodoo Doughnuts is da bomb
I never really heard about Rhode Island being known for doughnuts until recently. Also, SE Massachusetts does have coffee milk and we even briefly had it as one of our 3 drink options in school (the other two being white and chocolate milk).
Also I could really go for a doughnut and coffee milk now.
GREETINGS FROM HOUSTON-
YOU WERE PRETTY ACCURATE 👌
U DESERVE A TH-cam OSCAR 🏆
AMERICA'S FAVORITE ARTERY CLOGGER!
"Ohio, you so crazy."
You're not wrong. My old high school is a former orphanage and it's supposedly haunted...
Ohio technically lacks a largest city, since three cities are essentially tied
gars129
Are you talking about Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus?
CAPace09 No, if anything it would be Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. But, Columbus has more than Cleveland and Cincinnati combine. So, yes gars129, we do have a largest city. Lol
Wow, misread the comment about tied. I thought you meant something like a common metropolitan area... I'm not surprised about the teacher
gars129 we’re not tied at all 💀 cincinnati, columbus, and cleveland are all at about 2 hours or more apart
As someone who lives in Portland. Yes there are a lot of lesbians here
Tex-mex food has to be my favorite
Fun fact about what you said about Nevada, Actually paradise isn’t its own city, Las Vegas valley has 3 cities, North Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Henderson.
When you hear people say paradise or Summerlin or wherever, they’re just parts of Las Vegas, same PD, same mayor, etc
Fun fact about Omaha, NE! When you land at their airport (Eppley Field) and want to head to downtown Omaha, you drive through Iowa.
KibblesnBitts True.
lol looks like Iowa was like "nope" when they drew the border, but the most likely thing that happend was that the Missouri river (was) moved at some point in the city's history
Burlington, Vermont is the smallest largest city in the 50 states!
Vermont also has the smallest state capital of any state. There are around 4,000 more people in my suburb of Philly than the state capital of Vermont.
Vermont’s capital Montpelier is the only US state capital to not have a McDonald’s in it.
Mat 727 I can't believe he pronounced Champlain "chap-lain"
My ears still hurt.
Bransen 123 I know right?
Fellow Vermonters
You forgot Milwaukee is also a festival city.
I live in Wisconsin
Allie Olivier same
9:28 Actually Nashville just recently surpassed Memphis as Tennessee's most populous city in May 2017. Memphis was indeed our largest city for decades, however.
Second time a city named Memphis loses its largest city status
Brayden Gaskey who was first egypt?
Now do one on the state capitals, except for the ones that are also the biggest cities
Also nashville is the largest city of tennessee
Blazing Blitzle hehehe as a Memphian I knew you guys were but hey I’m fine with my city being mentioned
I don't think they counted the metro area of NashVegas in the largest city chart.
Shaun Strange Don't call it "Nashvegas" don't be one of those people, it's so cheesy
Dominick Nesbitt, I was in the Tennessee National Guard for a while and that's what we called it. Just a habit, lol.
Actually Memphis is larger!
The nickname for Charlotte is Queen City because it was named after Queen Charlotte (wife of king George 3 aka the king that America hated during the revolution) and the hornets is what Cornwallis, commander of the British military gave to Charlotte because of how much the population was hostile. He then called it a hornets nest.
I always thought we were called the hornets because of how many bees there are. I did not know that is why
Charlotte gang
I lived there for years. I don’t remember anyone calling it buzz city
America is a continent, not a country
I love that u love Wisconsin... I'm from there
Also from Wisconsin...
Same
Wisconsin's got great cheese!
That's why eSwatini changed its name, to get featured sooner on Geography Now!
Virginia's really dumb with cities because most of our towns aren't Incorporated. Alexandria/Arlington/Fairfax is our biggest Metro Area, Richmond is our biggest "urban" feeling city, and Norfolk/Hampton/VABeach is the runner up to both, but in all three more people live on unincorporated county land than in the "cities" themselves.
Earl of Narwhals Alexandria/Arlington/Fairfax are not in Virginia, they’re in NOVA. It’s a separate state.
Indeed it's weird, but it honestly makes for nice suburb living. Only problem is it gets boring after awhile. Even Richmond feels pretty sparse. NOVA is really the only thing that is a totally different beast from the rest of the state.
Virginia is down right bizarre, an anomaly of a state. And while NOVA keeps growing the southern border much of everything south of Richmond is turning into a background shot from the walking dead.
But NOVA is part of the DC metro area its one of the biggest in the country. and HALF of the DC metro area is NOVA.
for real. I live in VA and half of the state is like New England, and the other half is barren wasteland
You described the state of New Hampshire, but not really city of Manchester.
3:55 the Bronx is on the mainland, the other 4 are on islands though
About Columbus. Their Hockey team, the Blue Jackets, shoots a real cannon every time they score a goal.
FYI, Jamestown is almost 2 hours away from Virginia Beach. It's pretty far up the James river
Alex Conrad ikr, when he said that, i was like "its nowhere near jamestown". Lol
Lets be real. Virginia Beach is the largest "city" because it's where all the military personal that work in Norfolk live.
Military and Shipyard workers, yeah. It's a major maritime industry kind of place.
I mean we also have a bunch of military installations here too, not including Oceania
Memphis and Nashville have now switched places on the population roster-
My nephews and nieces are learning about countries over the summer. Your videos are by far the most interesting and informative in less time. We gain so many take-aways and facts we didn't know. So, thanks....NOW!
Never mind that "Fargo" actually took place (and was filmed) in Minnesota.
The Fargo visitor center in North Dakota has certificates you can buy that say “best for last” because they assume it’s the last state you’ll visit
I was waiting for my city Milwaukee. This city is goofy
I I could think of Wisconsin is beer lol 😂
I love Milwaukee and Wisconsin from what I've heard lmaoo. It sounds like the Florida of the Midwest
You forgot the fact that Providence has the most Christians per capita and we have the most Italians. We also have the largest statehouse.
I live in Sioux Falls. It's beautiful. Very windy at times.
ThePikminMaster6523 I used to live near Sioux Falls. I miss the midwest ;-(
To add on to this. Sioux Falls has lots of people of German descent. The city is growing fast and more and more Hispanics are moving in. Not that much crime, and I think it was voted in the Top 10 Best Cities to Raise your Kids in. If you do come, check out the Falls Park!
I also live in Sioux Falls. I was very excited for this video because I feel like not really anyone knows about how great Sioux Falls is. I would really recommend visiting Falls Park.
FYI the Bronx is the only borough that’s attached to the mainland. Manhattan is too technically, as the Marble Hill neighborhood that used to be attached to the island of manhattan was attached to the Bronx by the rerouting if the Harlem River but is still considered part of manhattan!
When you look at the map of Manhattan and Bronx, it is obvious that they were one land mass at one point millions of years ago probably, and erosion or earthquakes caused separation and the formation of the Harlem River
Woah, someone talked about Seattle without the Space Needle? Finally!
I love this episode it was good and information of largest states just amazing nice work thank you ! Barby
Barb, if you want to do something similar like this, I recommend doing the 48 (so close to 50) ceremonial counties of England. Just an idea. If you want to do all of the UK, Wales has 13, Scotland has 31, and Northern Ireland has 6, totaling 88. Ireland, if you're curious, has 32, making a grant total of 120. Loadsa videos!
As a New Mexican, we reeeeaaaaallly love green chili and we like it hot
I did not
congratulations on 1 million!
WOOHOO 1 MILLION!! CONGRATULATIONS! YOU DESERVED IT!!!
The reason why Memphis has a Pyramid, is because Memphis Tennessee has the similar name to the ancient city of Memphis in Egypt.
That’s my guess.
No, it was originally supposed to be a sports arena for a professional team but then they ran out of money. So bass pro shop came in and it is what it is
The Bronx is not on an island, it is almost completely on the North American mainland.
1 000 000 SUBSCRIBERS! Congrats!
3:53 The Bronx is NOT on an island, it is the only New York City borough on the main land!!
He didn't say it was did he?
@@chlorophyllphile look at the timestamp OP provided. Its in the picture
@@georgeramirez2099 I see, I didn't notice the text
Las Vegas is actually one of the most important cities on the topic of architecture. The book called Learning from Las Vegas built a manifesto for what is known as postmodernism. Today, Vegas is seen as an architectural thermometer gauging the most trendy designs that influence the rest of the US.
Zylork0122 Oh God no. The architecture there represents the worst of American architecture. Just a hodge podge of gimmicky buildings with no class or taste. Some of the newer hotels are less garish but they're still not examples of great architecture. I'm all for civic pride but Vegas is a blight on the desert built on depravity. All southwest cities are a middle finger to mother nature.
I’m in agreement with the southwest but that only applies to Los Angles (shots fired), Arizona, and New Mexico. Vegas is extraordinary for its architecture. Please read the aforementioned book.
Zylork0122 Na all cities in the southwest have no reason to exist and are terrible. Millions of humans aren't meant to live in the desert. You are right in that LA is the worst culprit but only because it's the largest, it's at least got SOME rainfall compared to Las Vegas and Arizona. Also is the book written by someone from Las Vegas? Because claiming that postmodern architecture is all due to Las Vegas is a pretty wild claim. I'll read your book if you read "Cadillac Desert"
No, neither Denise Scott Brown and Robert Venturi are from Vegas. They were architecture professors before setting up an architectural practice. Don’t be surprised when you learn more about their teachings resonating from Vegas. Yes, every 7 Eleven’s architecture resonates Vegas. Not to mention Walmart, McDonald’s, and every other business you’ve been to. They’re called decorated sheds, a term coin by the couple and learned from Las Vegas.
Zylork0122 Hmm sounds interesting, I thought you meant it was influential in "high architecture" or whatever label you wanna put on it. I could definitely see it's influence on terrible franchises and big box stores, tackiness is a defining trait of that kind of "architecture" and nowhere is more tacky than Vegas! Sounds pretty interesting I'll have to check thay out.
I live in Burlington and that is a relatively accurate description! Although Lake Champlain is pronounced like Champagne but with an l
ThanksI learned something!
They have their own genuine lake monster too🐊
Skeletal Pirate is right though, I live in the new north end (a neighborhood in Burlington) and there are a considerable amount of Nepalese, Bosnians, and Tanzanians/Somalians
I’ll be your friend from Wisconsin! Also everything you said was 100% how id describe Milwaukee. Also worth bringing up summer fest.
Oh my god Paul I have watched you since 300,000 and I always knew you would make it, I love all of your videos, every Wednesday I look forward to your videos or you filler week vids, thank you so much for creating the most outstanding and most interesting channel on TH-cam,
Burlington has actually gotten a lot more diverse in the past few years because it became a sanctuary city, and there are now entire communities of Somalians, Arabs, and Bosnians
Yep true facts
Jay Saenz how?
Budgorj "Somalians" first mistake
"Arabs" smaller mistake, but still mistake
"Nepalese" not a mistake, maybe the ghurkas will be helpfull
We have both somalians and arabs in France, and it sucks.
Budgorj Wait, even bosnians ? Why do you like to ruin everything, stupid liberals ? We should have let croats finish the job.
I would love to see a video about Antarctica as the next filler week. Sort of in the format of a regular country episode, but adjusted to fit the needs of this international Continent
YOU JUST REACHED 1 MIL SUBS
Congrats ;)
I love your show. You are great and funny and clever(good clever)
We have "Buckeyes" in Ireland but we call them conkers.
Sam Edward Barsoum do they ever have a bad fur day?
Alex Croton thats the name of the tree, conkers is the name of the nut.
Buckeyes (the Ohio buckeye trees) are native to Ohio (and surrounding states). They can’t be found (naturally) in Ireland. Did you mean that in Ireland you have actual Ohio buckeye trees or just chestnut trees whose “conkers” are similar to buckeyes?
I've lived in west virginia for 4 years and pepperoni rolls are no joke, one of the best foods ever.
Can't wait for the next country episodes.
Love your vids
Is the letter "e" in e(E)swatini in lower-case or upper-case?
Pualam Nusantara It's lowercase, like "eSwatini." In the Swazi language, the e- prefix means something like "land of."
Joseph Campbell like the retarded way of writing Esports
KostasNotKolsas That works too

You forgot that Omaha has a kick-ass zoo. It consistently gets the #1 spot on best zoos on multiple lists. Henry-Doorly Zoo is what its called.
Probably one of the best zoo's in the US, but it is a bit small compared to some European zoo's, that are pretty good.
Are any of you guys from Omaha?
That’s the glory of living there with the Henry doorly zoo, you can go there all the time.
Used to live near Omaha Nebraska. I moved to the Black Hills of South Dakota in October of 2017. So yeah I know the state and the city.
I live in Lincoln, so if I ever felt like doing a day trip, the zoo is a good excuse. My family used to have a yearly family pass to go there all the time.
Yeah, and they just took our red panda here at the OKC Zoo.. You guys better be nice to Sabi!
Yeah if you go to Seattle, you gotta check out Pike Place Market, it's got a lot more than just the men throwing fish at each other, it's a whole building/outdoor area filled with different random shops and local vendors set up on tables everywhere, there's a nice area where you can eat/look out at the Olympic Mountains, and the building has multiple levels with an architecture that is cozy/reminds me of a ship. It's hard to describe, you gotta check it out.
Congratulation for 1.000.000 subs
because of you i kinda want to go to charleston, WV now
I recently spent a day and a half there on vacation, and I knew I had to go back at some point to see more of it. It's been named the friendliest city in America on multiple occasions, and it's a great place for anyone who likes Southern food.
Charleston is cool, all tucked away in the hills and trees. West Virginians definitely have a noticeable way of speaking, too
Only now do I realize that there are two Charlestons in play here.
Patty Wagon i mean the West Virginia one XD, sorry for confusion, i changed the comment
FALLOUT
I grew up in Fargo! I’m also Scandinavian-American, and yes there are quite a few of us in Fargo. You did pretty well, although I might add that most of us Fargoans are a bit ambivalent toward the Coen brothers’ film. While it put us on the map for many Americans, only the opening scene takes place there, and many assume that we all have the thick Midwestern accent portrayed in the film. Don’t get me wrong, we definitely hang onto our O’s too long sometimes, but mostly we just sound like regular Americans haha
Let me guess, you don't know a single word in any scandinavian language
Solaxe S Nei, jeg forstar lit Norsk.
BadgerCheese94 Haha yes the accents are definitely real, just not as pronounced as they are sometimes portrayed. And I know, they're from St. Paul, right? Hope you're enjoying the Midwest :)
BadgerCheese94 Lol I'm actually in St. Louis Park/Golden Valley at the moment; my girlfriend grew up here! I guess my Coen brothers' trivia is a bit lacking...
Jizldiedizl B Hahaha I wish. My dad claims my family is descended from King Harald the Fairhaired, however, but I think that's a bit dubious...
Please make video on largest cities in another big countries.Your videos are so informative. Thank you for this information.
LOLOLOLOLOL! 😆🤣😂
I'm Mexican-American from San Antonio, but now live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area WITH family Houston, that I visit often. Barbs, you hit the nail on the head, bud! 🤣😂🤣😂
Hi Barbs,
I’m going to Indonesia soon.
Do you have any tips?
JP B don't forget to try Nasi goreng :)
Avoid archea
People are going to ask you about your home country's weather and crops, so be prepared. I learned that from Bill Bailey.
Bring sunscreen, be prepared for bugs like the flying kind, learn a little Bahasa Indonesian or better, the native language of the area you’ll be visiting, tons of freelancers especially in Bali, school kids riding motorcycles without helmets on (me and my friends literally saw a few doing this) and expect to see a lot of stray cats
JP B survive
The Utah one isn't wrong. As a Mormon in New Zealand, 'Salt Lake City' is an automatic trigger for any Mormon.
Yep. Interestingly SLC is probably the least Mormon-heavy city in Utah in terms of population.
Yeah, it really comes down to the fact that it's where their most renowned temple is, and where all their head leaders meet.

Now I want a part 3
San Antonio is getting close to being one of the big ones, we ranked top 10 in the fastest growing cities in America! 2016-2018
San Antonio was actually America's #1 fastest growing city in 2017 adding over 25,000 people within the city limits and 49,000 in the metro area in only 12 months. SA is currently America's #22 largest metro and #7 largest city. No idea why it wasn't featured in these videos even though it was larger by millions than some cities on here.
@@SquidProQuo80 that's not the point of the video. Its largest city by STATE
The San Antonio city itself is larger than Dallas, but DFW and Houston have much larger metropolitan areas and populations
Aaaye, greetings from Houston
@@neontv2843 As an SA native I can confirm this. And yeah the growth of the city in recent years has been huge and it's been affecting the surrounding counties. I technically live in the nearby county (South East of Bexar), but because I work in SA and spent all of my college years here, I still consider myself a local. You'll find A LOT of people who live in the neighboring counties do work in San Antonio, primarily because it's safer. The Northwest side of town has seen the most growth. Unfortunately one negative side effect is traffic has gotten more congested. There's been constant road construction here since I can remember. I believe one major reason why the city is growing quickly has to do with several factors- SA has very low taxes. A lot of businesses have moved our here too and with that brings new jobs. I would say this to those who are thinking of moving down here, do you're research! I love SA but one of it's biggest issues is the year round allergens. We're notorious for them. Right now we're about to hit Mountain Cedar season (which affects me), spring you have Oak and grass, summer you have mold, and in the fall it's primarily ragweed. Also, SA is in a flood plane, we are prone to flooding, so much sure you have flood insurance. There's an saying in SA, "Turn around, don't drown". The city has a lot of low water crossings and often there's flood barriers in the most flood prone spots, but it's not always true. There are those people who see just a 'little steam' of water and think they can get past it. 90% of the time they can't and it's not worth your life to go through it.
SA is a very multicultural city, long before my time. It's in the perfect location where you had a lot of folk of Latin and German descent as well as African Americans. My mom's best friends were black and hispanic (and she's white of German descent). They've been friends since HS back in the 70s. SA now has one of the fastest growing Hindu and Islam populations in the US. I can't tell you how often I've seen Hindu and Islam families around town now. We even got Asian families living out here.
Dude, you Nailed Milwaukee!
I live in Albuquerque. I can attest to all of what you said haha. Green chile is life here, the Air Balloon festival is huge internationally, native culture is big here, and the Sandias(the mountains you mentioned) are gorgeous and glow red from the sunset on clear evenings because of its flattish face and straight north-south run. Great summary of this city!
I drive through Cheyenne once and what stood out to me the most was that for a capital city, all of the streets seemed to be empty and the parking lot at the Chili's near the mall was COMPLETELY packed
I'm from Virginia, and I'll talk about Virginia Beach. 1. First of all, I'm not sure why Jamestown is even mentioned since it's like 1.5 hour drive from VB. 2. It's the biggest "pleasure beach" in the world 3. Instead of "bachelor graduates" living there, it's more of a military and shipyard living community, since Norfolk has the biggest shipyard and naval base in US. (Norfolk pronounced: "Nor-fukk" btw.) And not only that, but lots of New Englanders like to visit and live there. 4. As mentioned, lots of recreational and entertainment goes on. Museums, Aquariums, parties, watersports, etc.
Jamestown is even on a another peninsula lol
I'm an Irish immigrants living in Providence and, might I say, you should give it a look. It's a lovely city.
Thank you! someone actually mentioned the skiing when talking about Utah!
Congrats for 1mil!!!
So close to 1 million subs!
Small mistake, that Scandinavian church is not in Fargo, North Dakota, it is actually in Minot
Nice video, Barbs and friends! I am from germany and i have been to like a third of the cities you mentioned in this video and the first one. Are you going to make an europe episode as well? You said that americans don‘t know about the precious cities in the middle of their own country, but you would be surprised how many awesome and unique places there are in europe, especially the eastern part of our continent!
1 000 000 subs! Congrats!
