Keep up the amazing work you two

The power output must have varied widely with the seasons.

Germany shut down their nuclear plants and replaced them with windmills and solar panels. As a result Germany now has some of the highest electricity prices in the world.

Blues Brothers was filmed at the building at 15:08 also

A sad story. We must all be thankful for the good lives that we have.

I used to drive a semi in and out of those steel factories for years!!! I live in Illinois.

Hi We just recently found you guys and subscribed. Really nice how you are doing these. Was wondering if you could share what cameras you are using?

Great video! I live in Kalamazoo and have bicycled the trail many times. The Kal-Haven Trail now connects with the Kalamazoo Valley Trail all the way to downtown Kalamazoo, right by the college's campuses. While going east on the trail is very slightly uphill, it is an elevation change from 653 ft above sea level to 784 ft spread over more than 30 miles. Barely noticeable. A lovely, easy 2 day trip is to go one way, stay the night, then come back the next day. 33 miles on a bike is accessible to just about everyone, and leave plenty of time to stop along the way and enjoy the sights.

Sub'd! great stuff

A poet reading their own prose is a treat. Nice intro-visual poetry too.

Birthplace of the anti-slavery Republican party. Largest state prison using slave labor.

Saw poison Ivy along the trail

And don’t forget if you’re up in the UP in February, stop in Trenary between Escanaba and Marquette along US41 and check out the Outhouse races!!

Also, in Escanaba, the House of Ludington, just past Gus is the hotel with a light beacon on top of it. They still have a room that has been left in disarray from Al Capone. He had a secret doorway that went up there as a lookout, and there’s tunnels under the building that sprawl out under the surrounding area (I’ve been in them just under the building), allegedly at least one went out towards the lake for a quick getaway. Another tunnel went to a nearby house as well.

Hey Escanaba!! My hometown, born and raised and family still live there!! If you guys ever go back to Munising area and would like a shipwreck adventure, there’s a 130ft wood scooner named “Bermuda” you can clearly see from the surface of Murray Bay on the southern end of Grand Island.

I’m a Yooper… tis just a dusting, it shall be fine to go hiking! 😂 I used to go on snowshoe adventures.

Lafeyette Coney is better

Hay tell you again luv you both👍🤗🤺🏋️‍♀️☦️

You 2 do a great job can’t Thank you enough truly love your channel ime a Viking and most of all the places you go been there but you give a great understanding of the history luv you both Lived in Michigan my whole there is so much to be had👍🤺🤗🏋️‍♀️👍☦️

Did you notice that the replica of the statue of the Republic is different? Its holding something different, not a phygrian cap

First time i ever heard the phrase "new years eve day"

We have a former POW camp by me in Thorton IL. Its in a forest preserve now and has a small placard tucked away in a random spot. "Sweet Woods"

great video. I live down the road and have visited most of what you highlighted, but of course you showed a few I haven't and taught me a few things. Thank you.

Think we might go out to that welcome center next weekend… I’ll be sure to stop and see some of these sites

Checked most of the comments before I dropped this here, but they wanted to build a nuke plant in MC but people organized against it. I believe the cooling tower had already been delivered, so they utilized it with the coal plant.

I was going to school at WMU and my roommates and I were in the backyard of the house we rented in the student "ghetto" when the sirens went off. The hill from East Campus was between us and the path of the tornado so our neighborhood got very little damage. I hopped on my bike and when downtown afterwards and Bronson Park, one of my favorite places in town, lost so many trees and looked so different after it was cleaned up.

Great video! Made me have a little less disdain for Shitcago as I always called it (late for a few events because of being stuck in traffic far longer than necessary, way longer than necessary going through customs in the stinky basement of O'Hare, and hitting a deer JUST outside the city limits). That NYE jacket is spectacular BTW!! Plus the Polkaholics seem pretty rad.

Whiting is an enclave of something you can't discuss in public and has maintained a long-standing side-eye to the rest of the Calumet Region. I'm not sure if it's still like it was back in the old days, but you have to hope it's changed. We all love pierogis, but the Asians have yaki Mandu and many other cultures have their own version of it. Always thought Whiting was home to the Armenians.

My neck of the woods 😊 Grew up outside of Bloomingdale. 😁 Enjoying your channel 😊

Wonderful presentation and informative!

BTW Driers Meat Market is in Three Oaks, MI, just a block from my rental. Three Oaks is where the Christmas movie Prancer was filmed.

I can't believe Daily got away with destroying Meigs Field. The city should have payed for repairs and Daily should have gone to jail. It was the model of what cities need for air transportation in congested areas. I am glad I got to fly there at least once. It was a federally funded airport and could not have been legally closed with out federal approval.

I’m glad that I stumbled across your channel. Keep up the good work.

You picked the wrong time of year to visit the south shore of Indiana and Chicago. Come back in the summertime much better weather.

For a long time, it didn’t start in Kalamazoo and didn’t end in South Haven.

My LaPine family ancestors had their homestead on Bois Blanc in the 1800's. I was able to find a local who drove me around the island were i eventually found the remains of the cabin

Need to visit The Shamrock Bar for Poppins 😂

As A German Viking I found Beaver Island a weird cult of people

Another excellent video! You are spreading awareness of these important sights and that might just snag the interest of the next generation of contributors and extend the longevity of these important sights. Continue the good fight, keep up the good work and thank you for making and sharing your videos. Be well.

I really enjoyed this video. I live a few miles from Coldwater myself and just love Michigan history. There is always more to learn, and I learned some things while watching this video. I like your laid back, easy style and, well, now I have to go look for some more of your videos! I appreciate you folks. Thank for making and sharing this video and for your insight into Some of Michigan's history. Be well!

Great start, headin’ west outta DeTwa on a blue flame 😂❤ Great travelogue, we’ll done, thanks!

You did Lafayette Coney a disservice. Most lifelong Detroiters know the lore, and prefer Lafayette to American. Tourists usually prefer American.

Never knew about this trail and all the interesting sites😮

This was a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing this history with us. ❤

Thank you for personally narrating your channel. I am so sick of AI voices. Plus, your content is actually interesting.

Cool.

Great video! You guys should do one about the SS Badger out of Ludington.

Jackson’s Amtrak Station was actually opened on September 1, 1873. It’s the oldest continuously-operated passenger station in the USA.

Thank you for covering my hometown. Drayton Todoroff was named after me.

I grew up not far from there, crossing the ferry to go to swim lessons 😂
