Thank you Yayyah, Lawrence, Peter and Winston! You're each incredible.
Would be so cool to see you Explain the Baltimore map
Great video! You should definitely do one covering the map of Savannah, Ga
do one for baton rouge
This is Winston Ho, and thanks for the video! I enjoyed watching it! What's funny is that my own TH-cam channel has a video of the annual New Orleans holiday parade in 2022, and you can see float riders throwing candy canes and Christmas themed red and green beads from the floats. Ah yes, now that's what a parade should look like...
I know you already did one on nyc but Long Island as a whole could make an amazing video because of how diverse it’s history is

Winston! Thank you so much for all your help!
Your remark at the end about how everywhere else is weird compared to New Orleans really made the entire video.
Winston, you are a wealth of knowledge and he was right. Everything you shared was concise and eloquently said. I will definitely plan a stop to your museum when I'm in town next. Thanks for all that you do!
You're an incredible presenter and speaker man, reminds me of my favorite kind of history teachers!
@@Weeabaon It's so true!!
OMG! You were here for one of the craziest rains and subsequent floods we’ve had in a while. I’m a musician who was gigging that night, and 4 of my friends’ cars got totaled in that flood while playing. At least you go to see Barkus! So glad you enjoyed our amazing city.
It was an intense welcome to the city!! Such a fun place to see!
Do you live in fear knowing that your city will be the first in the western hemisphere to succumb to climate change's rising sea levels and fear of the next hurricane?
He’s right about the Thanksgiving parade, that’s why native New Yorkers don’t go😂
Lmao I came to comment the same! You were here for the storm that flooded my car 😂
Dang. Hope y’all okay. This is why when I come from Houston I have my go to parking garage on Canal and I leave it there high up and secure lol.
I'm a native New Orleanian and my only complaint is that you don't have an entire series about New Orleans. I'd love to see your treatment of Algiers, on the West Bank, where I grew up. And of course bring back all those wonderful brilliant NOLA experts.
I’m also a native, but I’m from Metry, which to pretty much everyone not from here, has zero knowledge of its existence.
I'm from Gretna, LA.
I would love that as well!! 🫶👋
@@ryanburks1314 the difference between the West Bank and ol Metry is that Metry deserves the hate…
I kid, I kid. 😉
Metry @@ryanburks1314
Thank you for including The Historic New Orleans Collection in your research! You are welcome back any time.
This is Winston Ho, and yes, it was a lot of fun. Though I should get a haircut next time you film me...
I am a city nerd from Europe and you are pouring gasoline on my nerdiness fire. Thank you!
haha Lets goooo!
You ever watched any vids on the catacombs? The whole legality of land rights extending far into the ground. 😂
You should make the European wing of the channel!
New Orleans has often been called the most European city in the US
@@Adiscretefirmit was once known as “Paris of America”
I'm a 75 year old New Orleans native. I'm so glad that you're video showed up for me today. I love the information... I love the video... I love New Orleans.
Thank you again and again!
🎶🥳👍🎉🎶

Thank god…. I thought it was just me!😂😂😂😂
If you stand at Poland avenue just off the french market you can can watch the ships go by the river above your head.
That's a very strange thing to do, yeah haha
Last time I was there, I was trying to remember where that was and couldn’t find anyone who knew. Shoulda called you 🤷♂️
Best description of Robert Moses ever 22:02
yeah. NOT a fan of Robert Moses. What a terrible lasting effect this man had on daily lives. His horrible policies are STILL being implemented to this day in current urban planning as they are such immutable foundations to everything we do. Fighting against these clearly classist, racist and unsustainable perspectives is nearly impossible. Robert Moses is a name almost no one knows and yet every American deals with his terrible ideas everyday
I love that these videos are getting longer and more in-depth. I could watch this stuff all day.
I am a New Orleanian. This is the best video about our city's history/development I've seen insofar as it explains the current city's layout in its historical context. You did a better job of this than many people who are from here. Good work and thank you! Please come back and visit again soon!
Wake up babe, new US city maps explained just dropped
This has to be my favorite channel now
Whoooaa that's so kind! Thank you!
As a Houstonian I grew up going to New Orleans at least twice a summer because my parents were in love with the city and so am I. Vive La Nouvelle-Orleans ⚜️
not even mentioning the city park just shows how much more there is to say about new orleans
“We could do it now though” is crazy but kinda funny how she did it
My favorite part of New Orleans urbanism is definitely the streetcar system! The streetcars actually have to do with the po' boy as during a 1929 streetcar strike, the Martin brothers served free sandwiches for their former colleagues! The St. Charles Avenue line is the oldest continuously operating streetcar line in the world! Planning for the line began in 1831, and it began operating as the New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad with steam locomotives in 1835 (the Pontchartrain train you mentioned at 19:17 opened first in 1831), but objections to the soot and locomotive noise increased, and transport was switched to cars that were powered by horses. In the late 19th century, desire for a transit mode that was better than horses but without the disruptive effects of locomotives resulted in a number of systems being tried out.
Experimental systems included overhead cable propulsion, including a cable clamp patented by PGT Beauregard in 1869 that was later being adapted for the San Francisco cable cars. While the city's first experiments with electric-powered cars were made in 1884, electric streetcars were not considered sufficiently developed for widespread use until the line was electrified in February 1893! Buses began to be used in New Orleans transit in 1924, and overtime, the majority of streetcar lines were converted to bus or were abandoned outright by the end of WWII, except St Charles Ave! Since then, the city restored streetcars to Canal Street in 2004 and built a new Riverfront line in 1988 and Rampart-St Claude line in 2013.
Agreed! We need to restore our lost trolley systems here in the U.S.! 💚
the production quality of this is insane! criminally underrated
“Underrated”? What do you suggest we do to rate it higher then? (Meaningless comment dude.)
Honestly, this channel deserves at least 500k more subs. Sadly this stuff is already covered (very badly) by the likes of Wendover and OBF etc, and it's a shame. Keep at it Daniel! Love what you're doing - the research, the production value, the journalism, everything is 10/10.
Wendover is both good and doesn't do these types of videos
@@averyshaham1697I dunno Wendover inserts too many random jokes to try and keep the audience's attention. It's like he's geared towards appealing to young teenagers
i am NOT one to comment on youtube vids usually BUT i am a huge map nerd and have been to nola more times than i count. the city has always had a special place in my heart and i've always been OBSESSED with how this city has grown from swamp to what is now. the difference between maps of when it was first settled to the grid layout today always blows my mind. probably one of my most enjoyed video on this channel and on youtube yet ! keep doing you
I'm loving these videos, the quality is so impressive. Fascinating as a Brit to learn about the history of these American cities - helps that I am similarly obsessed with maps!
This is the most interesting content anywhere at the moment. Your videomaking is incredible.
I did not think I would watch a full video about the city history of a place I've never been to today... you've earned yourself a subscriber! Would love to see the history of Chicago before and after the great fire some day! (That's my hometown) I feel like this channel is going to blow up and I can officially say I was here at 37k.
Daniel, this channel is so good/inspiring. I learn so much from each of these videos, keep it up.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. I went into a deep dive of Kansas City's geography last summer and seeing it done with the rest of the country is so much fun. Thanks Daniel for the work you put into these, they're so well done and engaging. Can't wait for the StL and KC episodes someday!
Well done! Your videos are not only informative but very entertaining. I need to watch it again.
This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites on TH-cam! Absolutely love these detailed explanations.
Amazing content, this channel is bound to blowup keep it pushing.
Amazing video! Excited to see what city you cover next!
Great video- love the format and delivery! Learned a lot.
I'm glad you keep on doing this series, it's top quality content! Looking forward to the next one!
As a life long New Orleanean, this has to be one of the best representations of the city. Some of which I wasn't familiar with. Great job with the documentary and shout out to the local experts who helped. Laissez les bons temps rouler
Fantastic video! What a fascinating city!
Excellent! What an unbelievable presentation! Nice work!
great video, research, production, guests, etc.!

Fantastic job Daniel!!
I’m so glad the local experts joined the video! I enjoyed all portions of this & definitely want to visit!
Grand father was a geologist and mathematician, and my father is a land surveyor. I worked in surveying for 25 years with him. I love maps and still enjoy diving into them, and spent many years making them. Thank you for doing what you do.
Awesome work. The guests were particularly great ..we thank them for their time and knowledge.

I’ve always been so drawn to the beauty and life of New Orleans, but still haven’t gotten the chance to visit. One day I hope!

I found you on TikTok and I’m excited for you to take over TH-cam bro. You’re about to be massive and we’re all rooting for you!
Can't believe how quickly you're able to get these out! Your videos are amazing (also nice mountain bike)
I made my way over here from Johnny Harris' channel and I'm so glad I did and that you've done all this work! Thank you to everyone who helped, especially the people in NO 💛💜
I mean… I was on this trip and I still learned more from this video. 10/10
Please do an Explained for Denver! Its grid system is very confusing but has lots of interesting history behind it.
I'd love this also, things like Denver annexing Highland would be really interesting to cover
Phenomenal video. Really great work!
Outstanding work. New Orleans is my favorite city and this video was informative, well made, and fun. Cartography is my thing.
Incredible lens to view the city from! The historical understanding from the local people was incredibly enlightening and makes for yet another banger of a vid!

Great video! I just got back from New Orleans and it is great to have some additional context about the neighborhoods that I was just exploring. Also, I love that Robert Moses description.
Great content...We LOVE Nola...The food, the music, the City...its great...
Amazing as always
Great stuff, Daniel...
I'm not saying this is the only way to teach history and/ or get people interested in it, but this has to be one of the best. I can tell you put a lot of time into this and you are a gifted communicator. I also appreciate how you give shout outs to the people that helped you along the way, the experts in their own field. Liked and subscribed.
Wow, thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is a great series. I already watched the other ones and just became a new sub. I'm looking forward to the rest/all of the major US cities (LA, Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Miami, etc). You will literally have content for days! Keep up the good work! 😁
I looooveeee maps, your channel is perfect for me! Thanks for the video, cheers!!
Awesome documentary. Love to see more New Orleans docs.
Glad I found this site. It's very interesting!
One of my favorite cities. Thanks for the breakdown. You’ve got a new sub
