I've lived in Galena my entire life, and I've learned a lot about the US history by only looking into the Galena history. The place is beautiful and I just love it here.
What is the nearest Amtrak station that people from Galena use? And why did they close Galena’s Amtrak station?? And what is the nearest airport that is typically used by those from Galena?
We realized that AFTER the fact but it was such a great trip we aired it as it was. We will be back. Funny, no one corrected us until we finished filming. Oh well. We have a lot of fun wherever we go. Thanks bro! Don't forget to subscribe.
@@WideOpenSportsman please.at least talk to some old locals who know. We don't bite. Maybe some think we're just country bumpkins, rubes, hicks, & some who did well and bought up real estate. Is that your game, to set up the gentrification and push us out?
Sorry, friend….but you’re going to have to go back & re-film the entire episode with the proper pronunciation of the name Galena & a proper outfit to wear. Other than that, I’d say you nailed it!
We visited that town a few weeks ago. Do NOT stay the night in the Desoto House. We did and were VERY disappointed. Be prepared to pay extra for anything you buy. The tour of Grant's house is free, but a donation box is there if you want to toss in a 10 or 20. The mispronunciation is a non-issue to me. I'm glad you visited the small town. (It's only about an hour away for me.)
"Be prepared to pay extra for anything you buy." Umm. Yeah! Thats the way things work. We just got home from the Desoto. It was great! We stay every year.
Good memories of Galena (pronounce the name, Gah -LEE- nah). But all good things come to an end. I refer to my happiness here. My love and I were married here. We enjoyed good times here. However...A resident further south in Illinois, said something well in a posting elsewhere - simply and truly - about the haunting of Illinois towns and farm houses. Far and away, the earth is soaked stained with the blood, sweat, tears of suffering, tainted by corruption, betrayal, murder... message to a certain restaurant employee or food service entrepreneur, and he will know to whom I write: hopefully recovering addict and thug, one knows he's closer than one thinks. Frigid violent urb. Rusty towns. Now he has stolen the woman of another brother. Beautiful. Now, sending a shout-out to M. and D. B___, sons of Professor 🕊️ of **** College. Man, I'm sorry 😔 that we most likely won't be raising a glass 🥂 together ever again, in this life 🧬 Words cannot express my disappointment in you and your older brother. Him, that crippled pus-infected face and hateful soul, it's understandable, but you? Really? What has happened to me, brought on in part by a member of a secret society, aided and abetted by same secret society, a brotherhood for white supremacists. They, & you by association, f***ed me good, ruined my life. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you. It can happen to anyone, eventually. C'est la vie, ainsi avec la morte. I pray 🙏🏼 God keeps his Word. Vengeance is His. Enjoy the rest of your lives.
After we did the filming we realized we were mispronouncing it. We thought about not airing it but it was such a neat town. Hope you liked it regardless. Just Get Out There.

Maybe you should do your research before making the video. You obviously new the history so you should have know how to pronounce Galena.
