I am happy to take this sentimental journey with you. This is the Jordan that reminisced about moving to Hollywood, showing your first apartment and music school. You have been the most open and talented vlogger--that's why we trekked to the park with you an Hah every day.

[@daddybog7189]

Going back in time to the old neighborhood seeing all the changes that have taken place. No matter where you go in your travels, its still home.

[@jamesberry513]

Jordan, the Music store you purchased your first guitar is located the in the same stirp mall i delivered pet supplies to in 1997 and 98. Super Petz was the name of the pet supply store. There was a drive through liquor behind the mall at that time. The wife and i took a journey to see Annie Oakly Monument as well as her home, birth home, cemetery and the place she passed away in. Very interesting. Keep up the good work.

[@laurar1704]

It's very interesting to see the beginnings of someone you admire. Thanks for sharing!

[@theadventuresofjerryandjodi]

You are definitely a great story teller. I loved your tour of Troy!

[@crush41gb]

These have been wonderful. Thank you kindly for sharing your life, family, memories and experiences, buddy! 😊

[@susangriffin4584]

You sure lived an interesting life growing up Jordan. From the locations to where your band last played togethe,r to the worst job of all at McDs. really made you who you are today . Thanks for taking us on your young life story Jordan .👍💛

[@winendesertrose]

I think anybody who started out working for Mickey D's has some stories to tell.

[@travel98young53]

Jordan, This has been great. It was wonderful that you kept it in chronological order. It was nice to see pictures of your dad. Thank you for sharing.

[@moniquedeitz4356]

Great addition to the initial vlog of your life in Troy, Ohio. Thanks, Jordan! You were a hard worker then and remain so, bringing us vlogs to entertain and inform. Keep on keeping on!

[@katrinacool]

I am going back to my hometown late October to settle an estate and I am not looking forward to seeing the changes. It's true - you can't go home again but we have all the wonderful memories which no one can take away. Great video Jordan - and hugs to Jah!!! ☺️😊🥰❤️😍🦩☀️

[@maryellenshock]

You can leave your hometown, but your hometown doesn't leave you!

[@pippadot679]

It's always great to go home. The feeling and reminiscing. Enjoy Jordan thanks for taking us along.

[@mariaday712]

Thank you for telling us your story. I found it quiet interesting. You and Jah stay safe.

[@laurab391]

Great stories Jordan. 👍

[@syreetaabney6968]

Great video Jordan and sharing the rest of your childhood with us,this was fun and exciting to watch you travel back to your home town.

[@vellahogsed2734]

I ENJOY WATCHING your vidos! They are nice places ever where You travel.Have fun i will be with you friend.

[@sandyg202]

Jordan, outside of losing your dad at such a young age, you had a very healthy and normal life. A wonderful life!!! May all that is good always be with you!!!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

I just dont talk about the bad parts

[@esthergarcia1373]

Thanks Jordan for sharing with us your life growing up in Troy. It makes us understand how growing up in a small town can be. One great thing about it all is the importance of a close knit family unit. When one is raised in the larger cities, parents have their challenges in juggling the workplace with home. I can see how being a creative person can make one “spread their wings and fly” elsewhere. At the same time, childhood memories last forever and continue tugging at one’s heartstrings. Great work, Jordan. ❤️🙏🏻👍⭐️

[@vayabroder729]

So great to know more about you, Jordan. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@reygan5173]

Jordan, my wife, and I truly enjoy your videos as you experience life. We live in Troy in the Fox Harbor neighborhood. Thanks for sharing your childhood and teenage memories with us and much success to you in the future. Chris and Mary Smith

[@wardharrah55]

OMG Jordan!!! Now I know why you looked so familiar to me back when we first started following you…I worked in Plant Operations @ UVMC!!!You’re bringing up all kinds of memories! When my father in law Phil retired he worked at that video store through the 90’s with my buddies Chuck and Scott! The gentleman who owned Sound City Music was a great guy! That must have been the place where you learned not to like Big Band Music 😂…I’m still friends with Bob Barrett…one of a few people I’ve met that truly cared…although we moved away from Troy it will always be my second home…we lived in the big grey house on the corner of Main and Crawford next to St. Patricks which sucked every year during their festival in May…lol😂 We’re you downtown during the Laser Show during the Strawberry Festival in 98 or 99 I think…they only did the laser thing one time but it’s my favorite story about Mayor Pete😂😂😂

[@kathypellette2509]

Your bright smile always gives me a lift!😊. Really enjoy these hometown videos of yours. You have an interesting life. I was middle aged, but i also worked at MacDonalds for about a year and half. Had a car wreck, broke my neck, was out 6 months then returned for a month. A nerve disorder forced me to quit.

[@jeff_quallio]

Part 2 just as good! Thanks for letting us in to this little part of your story. Safe travels my friend!

[@cindyfox3240]

Living in Troy for the past 20 years, I enjoyed watching your journey. The house you lived in on the corner of Barnhart is a home I have always admired!

[@millster9389]

That was fun traveling down memory lane with you!

[@cherylcallahan5402]

*Daze with Jordan The Lion appreciate your videos Listening 🌟 from Mass USA TYVM 💙Jordan*

[@mikejames-drummerreginacan1386]

Fantastic video. The movie rental memories with your Dad was touching. Thank you.

[@desireerussell3047]

Jordan thanks for sharing things about yourself and talking about your family.

[@lucidkate]

I'm around your age (34) and I have to say it blows my mind how much you can remember from your teen years. Maybe I partied a bit too hard.

[@bobwilliamson9562]

You think your memory is bad. I went to high school in the early 70's and they used to say if you can remember the 70's, you weren't there.

[@metalmike570]

Jordan is 41, you're 7 years younger - that's a lot ma'am!

[@lucidkate]

@@metalmike570 I said around. Also, what does that matter? He still has a better memory then someone 7 years his junior!

[@lucidkate]

@@bobwilliamson9562 😆

[@metalmike570]

@@lucidkate I know he has details that are ridiculous! It's easy to keep watching his videos cause Jordan is the master. Like the old saying a memory like an elephant.

[@outsider238]

You had the experience of a lot of different jobs. That's very good! I only ever had 3 jobs in my life. A lawn mowing job (which was great as a kid), Arby's and then the grocery business until I was able to thankfully retire early. Glad my parents taught us kids to save money!

[@rhondasue51]

I've lived in Ohio all my life, 61 years. I really enjoy your video's!

[@reneebeaty8564]

Another great vlog Jordan ❤. You are a good story teller. I’m picky with who I listen to and the you tube videos & you are on the top of my list of who I tune in to. Thank you for sharing your hometown. Cute town.

[@marycriske6024]

Loved you 2nd part of your life! You lead a very interesting job life! I especially love the story where you painted a Guitar shop without pay. You did it because he NEEDED help. Thats awesome❣ I'm glad you chose to vlog! Thats your jam and you do its so well🥰 Stay safe 🙏. Hugs to Jah🐾

[@karentucker2161]

Thank you for taking up along!

[@graceaaronathotmail]

Thanks for sharing some of your personal experiences, Jordan. I really enjoyed it. Can you imagine if Elvis did the same type of video sometime in the early 70's? It would have been epic.

[@darkendstreet4958]

Really enjoyed seeing how many great places are in Troy. I'm from Kettering, I never saw Troy beyond the Strawberry festival on the news.

[@evytimblin3269]

ENJOYING your childhood memories Part II. Thank you, again, for sharing. I LOVE reminiscing also. I HATED doing fast foods !!! 😁😁😁😁😁

[@tonyhoneyman3693]

Wow, My grandparents old homeplace has been torn down for a ball field complex. They lived there back in the 60s. Had one of my dogs killed there by a milk truck. Great Uncle lived up the road towards the trestle. Troy has changed over the years. Thanks for the memories.

[@judithmitchell4667]

Hello Jordan. These were such interesting videos. Thank you so much for sharing your childhood with us. I wish we all could/should make a video like this to pass down to further generations like a priceless family history heirloom with actual voice and images and thoughts preserved. I was curious what kind of guitar you chose and what plays/ musicals you did in school. I was like you. I did High school musicals, 6 years of Jr. and Sr. high school choirs and sang in a band and worked weekends at a hospital., A lot in common. Thank you so much again, my friend. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵

[@CuteFluff8]

I felt the same graduating! True freedom! 🙌🏻🤟🏻

[@tattletailstrangler3457]

[@shawnl5634]

Hello Jordan 😀

[@evonnewilson1073]

So cool to hear and see all of this.

[@TheGorillafoot]

I always like visiting my old stomping grounds.

[@kellyhenderson9972]

This town is absolutely adorable. It reminds me of Burlington Ontario Canada ( where Jim Carrey) was from

[@bucklebunny6661]

Thank You Jordan , Sam & Dakota send their warm greetings From Colorado To Jah🐾🐾🤗♥️♥️♥️

[@maryjaneblahnik5767]

Another awesome vlog. You have done some fun and interesting things. TFS

Back to hear the rest of your memories on this vlog. Glad that you are sharing the video from yesterday and today. Continued Blessings and Support. ~Love&Light♥️Carli

[@wardharrah55]

I just can’t get over this man…what are the odds that We start following your channel 3 or 4 years ago or so…and I think you look familiar then, and just chock it up to us living in the same town…but as soon as you said UVMC everything just CLICKED!!! I know you probably don’t remember me but I definitely remember you! Two of my favorite people who worked there were in dietary services…a sweetheart of a lady named Jeannie and the cook Rick Genovese… Sorry to ramble but I’m really happy that I finally figured out after all these years why you looked familiar…I would have become a patreon supporter sooner! 😂sorry buddy 😂

[@joshuawaltz9484]

Thanks for part 2. Great job Jordan.

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, great hearing more of your memories down Memory Lane. The town square is lovely with the fountain. Great vlog Jordan.

[@andrewonrecord]

Awesome childhood memory videos. Are you going to make a video of your early days once you moved to California? That would be cool to see as well.

[@laurakojima5076]

Memories....

[@cjdesign5700]

Another banging retroview JORDAN...Thanks.

[@leannefabro3289]

Wow you certainly had allot of motivation to work and earn your own money in your younger years that should be a inspiration to other young kids watching this video. 🙂

[@peek-a-boo7877]

Next on A&E's Biography it's Jordan the Lion! 🤣

[@duckmann5000]

Love Part 2 & the memories 💯❤️

[@MattJ1977]

You're lucky you can go see all your schools. All of mine have been torn down in Portsmouth over the past few years. Totally isn't the same when I visit back home.

[@johngomes8874]

Totally awesome 😎!!

[@debbiejones3911]

Boy, you got around town. You are very personable. Troy reminds me of Medina.

[@TheDougeroma]

Started working at UVMC in July 2005. You were probably gone by then. I still get my paycheck from them though I have not worked on site sense October 2011. Like I say, it’s a small world. I thought you were some California guy. Had no idea you had roots in my back yard.

[@klogan92]

Fast food jobs is a right of passage, mine was a pizza joint during school and taco time during summer. Entry level jobs are not meant for a living wage.

[@chrismcdonald4819]

Loved your channel since the pandemic started. You got me through the entire thing. It’s really nice to know your whole story. Who sings this opening theme song? It’s my favorite!!!

[@7viewerlogic670]

Great video!

[@michaelcoffey7362]

Cool😀

[@rexsmallwood9084]

Hey Jordan, Im from the Troy area. I grew up east of town and went to Miami East Hs and now live in Tipp City. The Tattoo shop was on the very corner, the Barber shop has always been a barber shop. I would love to hang with you sometime that you are back in town? Keep up the good work!

[@57Banjoman]

I worked at a music store in high school as well- I was building mixing boards for a sound engineer in Cleveland. My uncle taught me electronics, and how to properly solder, so I was able to make good money, and work my own hours.

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Enjoyed

[@jevin2]

Cool love your videos

Another good Vlog

[@99percentirish64]

Great vlog, Mr. Jordan. I remember too, just waiting to leave the small city in WI I grew up in, after I graduated from high school. It was just too small of a city for me. I'm glad I made that decision!

I like your Videos. 😀
