I grew up in South Jersey and loved "Boardwalk Empire". The history of Atlantic City is amazing and that Atlantic City railway, still runs today you can catch it in Cherry Hill, NJ. It runs right by home in Ashland NJ, near the Hi Speed Line
My grandmother grew up in Atlantic City, and spoke fondly of Mr. Johnson. She even worked on steel pier as a teenager. She came from a wealthy, prominent New Jersey family the Lambert’s I would just like to know why they made him Catholic and the series I guess just for the drama and guilt, he was a protestant like almost all of the prominent original families! Does not mean anything today, but believe me it does back then historically
I have just finished watching Boardwalk Empire. All five seasons. Really good. I couldn’t stop watching the episodes! I was hooked. Great characters. Loved the look of it too. Looked authentic. One of the best series I have seen. No doubt.
nah, he’s right, s5 sucked! everything felt rushed, and they wasted too much time on the flashbacks ..they were a good idea probably on paper, but after watching and realizing all that time could have been better spent on fleshing out the rushed story at the end felt like a mistake.
I love this show. It's special & rare. I remember watching it when it first aired. I tried to get people to watch it but nobody will so that's why it's special to me. Glad I bought the blu-ray complete series set when I did. They're starting to increase the value on them.
Which is weird because it was an extremely popular and successful show. Maybe it had to do with demographics because being in and from NJ, it was HUGE here. That’s all I heard about among entertainment discussions. But I mean overall it had high ratings and viewership across the US. Partly directed and produced by Scorsese, it’s hard to think it wouldn’t
I personally think the real life of Nucky Johnson was interesting enough. Boardwalk Empire was a great idea bringing the characters of the mob world and prohibition together with loads of action, jazz and pizzazz. Still one of my favorite shows from the old HBO years.
@NomadicBrian.I.Agree It was the best of the HBO shows, My second favourite was I think the very first HBO shows, "OZ" It was first aired around 1996-97 some of the cast would appear in Boardwalk Empire,
At 26:00 he talks about the boxing match in 1921. It was in Jersey city Jack Dempsey USA Vs Georges Carpentier, France , the first million dollar fight. Everyone was there! First major fight that had a large percentage of woman attending .
From what you're saying, Nucky Thompson, eeh, Jonshon, was a hero. He was the Lord of his community, .He was the Irish "Godfather". And he definitely was, one of the Biggest of them all!!!
Great video. It's not hard to be loved by people, it's not really that hard to be feared by people but it takes a special type of character to be both genuinely loved and feared at the same time.
I was born and raised in Atlantic City NJ and I never saw anythig honoring Nucky Johnson...The first time I ever heard of Nucky was on that tv show, Atlantic City really tried to erase this man's legacy!!!
On the whole it appears that Johnson did more good for his community, albeit at profit to himself, than modern-day politicians are doing for us, at least here in the UK.
Great video. I am curious what your research showed regarding the biggest bootlegger in the nation George Remus who moved from Chicago to Cincinnati to run his empire. The IRS got Remus on tax evasion before using the same strategy to get Capone. F. Scott Fitzgerald used George Remus to base his Gatsby character after meeting him in Louisville, KY, where F. Scott's wife lived. They met at a hotel bar that still exists and is well worth visiting = The Seelbach (now a Hilton) Hotel/Bar. Also, have you looked into the history of Newport, KY? It was Vegas before Vegas and has a wild history of Remus Gang and Mob involvement. I'd be happy to chat with you about it as I have extensive knowledge of the whole end-to-end history spanning from Remus in the 1920's all the way to the USA's 2nd worst fire in 1977 at the Beverly Hills Supper Club (that was the 3rd time that establishment burned down.)
Was Remus the bootlegger who set himself up as a legitimate medical alcohol supplier then hijacked his own trucks. So he got alcohol for his distilleries plus a payout from the insurance companies?
@@fidelaquino2657 just telling you what is rumored. Johnson was know as an articulate dresser. He even went as far as putting a flower in his lapel and garters to hold up his socks.
I’ve always found it really strange the picture of Nucky Johnson walking with Al Capone and Arnold Rothstein during the Atlantic City Conference of 1929. The odd thing is AR died in 1928.
He was good at spreading money around to the poor people and helping those who support him, unlike today’s politicians who just take and dump on the voters
I love being a Jersey boy. Everywhere I go, there’s one form or another of rich history in this state. It’s a love/hate relationship between my state haha 😂
1st time i saw this show, is when i was 10, the first scene i remember is when nelson van alden starts hitting his back with a belt 😅, now as an adult i know how the criminal underwolrd works now, I probably wouldn't get it too much back then.
I've never heard the name Enoch said like "Eenuck", mostly because of the way that it doesn't have a U in it, so here in England, where we only speak English, we tend to say it with an O.
I can’t really disagree with how the Town was run. Yes, there is a level corruption, but you know what the leader truly cared about the people any cared about the city Maybe for his own selfish interests, but the end of the day the citizens were taken care of, and he stayed in power
Woodrow Wilson was dead at least 10 years by the time FDR decided to bring down Nucky… So that idea of Wilson teaming up with FDR to get Nucky is false history
A sister of my Grandmother named Rose O'Neil moved to New Jersey from N.Ireland back around the 1930's or 40's and married into an Italian American family called Chiappanni (excuse the spelling). Not sure if they had any connection to mob families but I dare to dream lol
A great video I am sure about a great television series. Not sure who you are @On the side of the law.. A great script deserves a great "Real Voice" You seem like you know Boardwalk. Would love to hear your perspective in 'YOUR" words. Don't doubt yourself, all boardwalk content is great, but the A.I takes away the passion that I know you and your subscribers have for the show. It's crazy out here these days, people think that my videos are A.I until they see me in my booth. Dig all boardwalk content brotha.. please make it 100% yours.
Interesting and informative. Excellent photography pictures 📷 enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Class A research project!!! Special thanks to crooked mayor uncle " Nucky " & associates. Along with various criminal informants/citizens/law enforcement officials. Sharing personal information/criminal experiences making this documentary more authentic and possible. Along with the prohibition era laws not being enforced. Really put Atlantic city on the map. For well over a decade. Uncle Nucky made the correct decision to retire upon his release from prison. After all he still lived the life of a king 👑
Interesting that, in Godfather 3, the shooter scene, where all of the don's are gathered and killed except Michael, takes place in Atlantic City. The birth of the mob empire.
Check out this video but start the video @1:18 time stamp representing where you should start at to see what I’m talking about ……doesn’t the red style awning wrapped around the top of the building kinda looks like a lobster 🦞 tail that’s been cooked/steamed now it’s ready to eat. Lobster 🦞
If this guy was a right now, I’m running for public office. I would definitely vote for him as the next president every year. If you think about it, politicians, steal a bunch of money and do a bunch of crooked things. This guy did the same thing, but he took care of those around him which in my eyes I see no problem with.
Atlantic sounded like a very prosperous town in the 1920s, but i wonder. .. Is it at all possible to have a prosperous town full of well-cared for citizens WITHOUT shady dealings and unsavory business practices??
Woodrow Wilson died in 1924 and there were rumors that he had been a vegetable even before 1921 and Roosevelt didn't become president until 1933. That's kind of peculiar that Woodrow Wilson asked president Roosevelt to go after nucky Johnson.
It wasn’t a rumor he had a stroke and was a vegetable that’s why people say his wife was the first female president because she had to sign papers for him and hide him so people wouldn’t know
Just a little ask from a viewer.. In the future can you pick a name and use JUST that name when talking about that person? The fact you kept switching between Enoch, Nucky, Johnson the entire time got super confusing.
Well are country has been corrupt since the beginning of time.i mean for theost part people get into politics for a better life and more cash,how ever they gots to get it not all but most u got to grease the wheels to keep things moving and everyone got a ✋✋ out like it or not America the greatest country that hatried to hide the currptuon. Hell it's very interesting and good to know how we got were we did🇺🇲🇺🇸💪👍👍
You pronounced Kuehnle totally incorrectly, It was pronounced QUEN - lee accent on the first syllable. The first syllable is pronounced like a pool cue with an N. There is still a Kuehnle Avenue in Atlantic City. Give me a phone number and I'll gladly call you with the correct pronunciation of Kuehnle. In my collection, I have a post card of the Kuehnle Hotel in Atlantic City years ago. It was up near South Carolina & Atlantic Avenue, near the Pennsylvania Railroad depot. Born New York City on December 25, 1857, Louis Kuehnle (pronounced “coon-lee”) was the son of Louis and Katrina Kuehnle. I knew Nucky and Flossie Johnson. On August 1, 1941, Johnson, then 58 years old, married 33-year-old Swedish American Florence "Flossie" Osbeck, a former showgirl from Philadelphia, to whom he had been engaged for three years. I also knew the late Frank Farley. I'm almost 80 years old, And by the way, it was the Camden & Atlantic Railroad. I have a photo of the first train arriving in Atlantic City on July 4, 1854.
My grandfather was Secretary of the Senate for 26 years. My father told thet many deals were made in the catacombs under the State House in Trenton! He served for Democrats and Republicans until his Passing.I believe Minor was Gov at that time. People don't know the Gov Summer residence is at the National Guard property at sea Girt! I think it is still there as a historical home
It's a Shame what direction the series took his character in season 5. It's ironic to me because I see boardwalk empire as the first public victim of the Harvey Weinstein scandal! I guarantee it's because of what he did to that actress during season one. When that started to come out they had to wrap it up quickly. I just find it ironic that they chose not be a republican to be the predecessor in a ring of child trafficking. When it's their own liberal people like Weinstein and the island visitors. Damn Shame they could have done it so much better to the story
I love how Hollywood killers take multiple steps holding the gun straight out at arm’s length instead of just shooting. As if their aim improves while walking. 😂
your math is wrong @20:12 you say bookmakers pay 160 a week...but then you write down 600... then you multiplied it by 20... and then you multiplied it by 52... so you're way tf off

Season 5 almost ruined it though, ngl.
HBO cancelled them and they had to cram several seasons of story into one. The opposite of GOT. I can't blame the show for that.

I know they put fiction in these somewhat true stories. But to have knuckys character killed off was bad. He lived up into his late 60s or seventies.
It wasn't meant to portray the real Nucky to the T dude.
Not judging but look at the real pics of this guy does he look like a Johnson to you or have a Irish or Scandinavian heritage?
I think you’re literally judging. But other than that, what’s your point?
