Didn't know my contruy would have a history vid I'm happy

[@NATANT0409]

I can't talk

[@edwhitson9873]

Our ancestors were definitely into fallen angel worship, this is nearly a record of the book of Enoch

[@shannonjaensch3705]

YEP! A god teaching slave men to mine and process GOLD. So much more slavery symbolism in this bank frontage to write but hopefully I will soon find the time to write a detailed comment explaining it all.

[@lisadockery9424]

Loved this...I'm a davenport girl..drive by these buildings all the time..I now understand and have more respect for what is right in front of me....thank you..well done!!

[@markblackwood3121]

As a Davwnport resident and office tenant of the US Bank downtown I have enjoyed immensely. Thank for your time and wffort

[@mr.woowoo8826]

I have lived here since 79'. Grew up on Kirkwood Blvd where they run the Bix 7 marathon. Just a few blocks up from Palmer. What a GREAT place to grow up, BUT here's the irony of this video. He shows the Palmer Courtyard and refers to it as, "a little piece of Heaven". Now that area surrounding it is gang infested and has shootings all the time "it's become a little piece of hell", lol. . Little unknown fact about Davenport, Iowa...It is the only place where the Mississippi River runs East and West, and not North and South. This place was so chill and fun in the 80's and 90's. Nice video

[@JRESHOW]

Interesting fact about the river 👍🏻

[@mr.woowoo8826]

@@JRESHOW The East side of Davenport ( McClellan Heights) had the great views of the river, so the rich and elite bought huge mansions there. Where as the West end had a lot of the lower income people who dealt with flooding. The early days of Davenport had a huge German population. I don't remember the exact number, but early 1900 we had like 30,000 people and had something like 1,200 bars.

[@Free-flyBE]

I remember "Little Piece of Heaven' grotto! Yes; that's why they call the Bend in the river is the namesake for a few business like Bent River Brewing;)

[@ellytrue2005]

3 sets of my great grandparents were some of the first German settlers that came to Davenport in the 1850s . They are buried in the Davenport historical cemetery downtown. Also I remember the Petersons Building downtown. I went there as a child in the 1960s to shop. It was very historical. All wooden floors. I loved it.

[@AzlynRock22]

I would love to see more of these my friend, love the music and all the fine tuning you add to it, makes learning alternate history even more enjoyable....can’t wait to see what ya come up with next

[@JRESHOW]

It’s also interesting the First National Bank was built first with 3, then 6, now 9 levels. 3 6 9

[@elithomas2976]

Damn she fine.. 🎶 Hometown represent..

[@DiscordianKim]

I find that very interesting that the bank building was build in 3 6 and 9. It had to been intentional. Billionaires follow the zodiac and divine numerology.

[@GoofyWib2289]

Damn i live here, very nice. 👌

[@seekerBill]

Perhaps it means something: 3+6+9= 18. 1+8=9. consciousness is everything.

Hey I'm from davenport and I love learning about buildings I've seen before davenport is a great city rich in history

[@nicholebree]

Living in Davenport for most of my life and living so close to downtown. I never knew the deep history within it. I’ve only ever known the history of central, Palmer college, and the figge. So thank you for this!

[@ianhauschild8938]

Is your dad a news Castor

[@brynakay8139]

I live in the Quad Cities. In the late 1800's, one of my ancestors married into the Davenports', the family that were named after the city, but shortly divorced. I always thought this was really interesting, and wondered if my life would be different if they stayed married. Just a thought.

[@AzlynRock22]

Dude very well done, I could sit and watch for hours, love digging in to things like this, love learning our-story knowing now that his-story has truly nothing to do with us....

[@beatriseyoung3308]

I never thought I would see something about my home town. Iowa city yeah sure. But not Davenport. It's weird knowing exactly where everything in this video is/was.

[@marissaholland3683]

Another interesting place to go visit is oakdale memorial gardens and you should also learn the history of oakdale memorial gardens

[@Kitty39643]

I like this, it kinda feels weird to see streets I've walked on and places I'd been inside before ❤

Nice piece! Some other ideas- Arsenal bridge, amazing history, launching Lincoln as a national figure Village of East Davenport, our infamous red light district Col Bettendorf, some buildings around. I have some furniture from his original estate Of course the Arsenal itself. Still vital

[@ACIDICcitric]

My family is from Davenport the Golden’s, but I grew up in Bettendorf... love the video! Thank you for sharing the info amazing and made me think about my great grandparents and grandparents

[@BlackestSheepB.Barker]

I live in IA and have a friend with the same last name. Hmmm, maybe Kin

[@genJenni74]

This was a great video, I would love to see more of your work! Thank you!

[@gracedbear]

I'm 20 minutes from Davenport, I've lived downtown Davenport. I found an 'internal report/book' on Davenport history, architecture etc., it was to be thrown away ... I rescued it. You did a great job.

[@gracedbear]

Just one more comment: the "principalities" of chiropractic, is far more accurate than it's principals. Truly I'll have to watch a time or two, or three.

[@toddblessuable]

Thank you. I love that people are doing this.

[@cindyroy8541]

That was very interesting!!! Thankyou for your efforts!!

[@S.G.Wallner]

I spent lots of time in the Quad Cities when I attended Augustana College in Rock Island. Beautiful, unusual, interesting campus. In hindsight, our chapel, library and dorms had a very old world feel.

Wow! I never knew that much about Palmer, interesting dude! I'll have to go check it out soon...i drive by there daily, great job on making this, well done!

[@cedarcottagefarm2885]

I never paid much attention to the figures in the outside of the US Bank building, all the Greek gods that represent commerce, law, labor,agriculture, etc. Little Bit of Heaven was a wonderful lace to visit. The statues were beautiful. I don’t know if the gardens still exist, but it was a wonderful botanical garden. A local minister donated his rare parrots to the garden. BJ Palmer donated much of his Asian and Egyptian collection to the Putnam museum.

Thank you this is the best I have seen so far. You shared alot of interesting areas I grew up around. I lived in the block between the temple and palmer school. 2 doors north of the old Davenport museum. I went to see little Bit off Heaven almost daily and the rain forest when I had money. Loved seeing this

[@skylerohanlon1896]

Please continue I drive past these buildings everyday to work...

[@deepspire]

My hometown! Lots of cool history here. There are a handful of buildings downtown dating to 1836. You would enjoy West End Tales. It’s the only page I look at on Facebook. m.facebook.com/WestDavenportHistory/posts/?ref=page_internal&mt_nav=0 (Both pictures at 3:35 do show the same building and ladder truck. It’s just a different angle and a much tighter shot.)

And started Ronald Reagan in show business as an announcer.

Well done brother 👍

[@lindaann1066]

BRAVO!

[@torkvil8402]

It's almost like the bank sculpture depicts the capitalist system? Philosophy, law, security, and many of the other symbols depict the principles of our society. With this theory, we would be the angels learning their philosophy and value of money. As descendants through education, we privilege the benefits of their system and contribute to it through upholding it and continuing to contribute to their pockets.

[@ko544]

I love Davenport ❤️ I'm originally from Australia, and learning about Davenport was fascinating to me. My house was used in the underground railway, and I swear it's haunted.

[@JRESHOW]

Wow! That’s amazing and kind of crazy if it’s haunted 👀👀

[@ko544]

@JRESHOW in the shed that originally was the barn is a child's full hand print burnt into the wall, we had a little girl about 9 yrs old and an Oldman the little girl was harmless it was the man who was scary. There is a fake wall in the basement that nobody goes behind, and you try not to spend too much time there. I could go on all day, lol

[@JRESHOW]

@@ko544very interesting

[@derrickmisner4329]

Excellent video! I would love to learn more about my home town. I was born here on September 15, 1977. I moved away early, But came back before I was a teen. I love this city, And would love to learn more about it

Oh wow, we are just 2 days apart! I am September 17, 1977!! 😁

[@dennismanary652]

I live here!!!!

[@Garch-the-Great]

Nostalgiagasm! I grew up there, but moved away over 30 years ago. Spent a lot of time in the Masonic Temple, and for a year or two, my mom had an office at the Whittenmeyer complex and I was in their theatre program. She told me that those strange tubes on the buildings were from the orphanage days and were emergency slides in case of a fire. Always thought that was bizarre. The stained glass window and tower on the chapel were gone by the early '80s. Shame that you didn't get inside of the Masonic Temple. You wouldn't know from the outside how beautiful the inside is... but it's creepy as hell. I was all over that building, sometimes alone, but I never felt like I was ACTUALLY alone. Doesn't surprise me at all that it's got a listing on hauntedhouses.

[@JRESHOW]

I would have loved to go in the temple. Palmer owns it now. Uses it as a new student orientation center I believe

[@Garch-the-Great]

​@@JRESHOW Weird thing is that I searched Tartaria and your videos came up. Just finished your follow-up on the Temple. Sucks that Palmer got their mits on it. My older sister was in a Masonic girls' program called Rainbow throughout the '80s, so I often got stuck there and wandered around while she was doing that. The theater is beautiful and should be open for public performances. And it was way-back-when -- I attended a David Copperfield magic show and several concerts there.

[@JRESHOW]

@@Garch-the-Great haha, I went to a David copperfield show when I was a kid. Haven’t heard that name for a while.

[@gracedbear]

My mom was a "Job's Daughter", after the 'war' Tacoma was where my Grandparents... Settled. Odd, they retired to the Masonic Home in Des Moines, Washington. I Commented enough! Thanks again

[@joeallen5074]

Very nice work. I enjoyed watching this immensely. The red bricks, the socialism, the chiropractor, the bank. The repurposing. What I was amazed to learn was that the size of these asylums and orphanages that they had. They're as big as it the penitentiaries we have nowadays. Those orphanages look like concentration camps. The looks of the people s faces in the pictures of that era of the 1800s. They never really look happy. Almost dead states without any souls. Like zombies. Very interesting . Thank you for this .

[@thuggishbonez8297]

30:04 I used to love when they took us troubled teens over to those older cottages! I’ve always been so fascinated with the old buildings and institutions of Iowa and (un?)fortunately I’ve been to a lot of them in terms of mental health places.

[@glennso47]

There was a mental health hospital in East Moline years ago. My grandfather was a patient and died there.

Loving this... History should never be erased by anyone.... you did an amazing job! Thank you, always love your videos. This one shows us a lot of History, more than anyone will find on the internet. It's people like you doing this, why I stay on youtube. I have all my families very old pics and my dads pics he took during WW2. He's gone now, but I am learning about my dad from his letters he wrote home to my mom, and the things he wrote on the war pictures too. wow!

[@kipbrown1549]

Very good ////////////////

[@Yvonne2214]

Chiropractics having any morality or ethics at that time are hard to fathom especially in Davenport which had another site known as the Chiropractic Psychopathic Sanitarium. This facility was developed on land that was partly a shooting range, and despite the facility being primarily used for the care of WWI veterans suffering from shell shock the range remained in use. The Sanitarium, reporting well above average success because of the use of chiropractics as part of the treatment was in reality like many other sanitariums of the period... the stuff of nightmares, culminating in the eventual arrest of the president of the facility, not for abuse of his patients, or the escapes of traumatized patients leading to several deaths, or for the falsification of their success rate, or even for the fire on part of the property that was very likely in reality insurance fraud, but rather for a murder for hire plot against a business associate. This is not meant as a slight on this particular town or chiropractic care. Most medical fields were the stuff of charlatans and snake oil salesmen in those days across the board. It is however an opportunity to highlight an overlooked portion of history that truly deserves to be remembered.

[@samuelcraigsr4348]

Please do and maybe Branch and the other towns in the state of Iowa

First national bank was not founded in Davenport. It was founded in Greenville PA.

[@glennso47]

Former President Ronald Reagan got his start in show business as an announcer at WOC Radio in Davenport in 1932.

[@Katiecs]

I think that snake staff with pine cones is a Caduceus

[@shannonjaensch3705]

It is symbolic of the kundalini/Chrism rising up the spine/DNA to the pineal gland. When the pineal gland activates the third/single eye is opened and the true higher self comes online. The pope has a staff with two snakes winding up to a pine cone on it and the Vatican has a giant pine cone statue with two snakes approaching it. If you look at the frontage of the First National Bank Building of Davenport IA in this video (8min mark) you will see the old Greek God looking man picking pine cones in the fourth story depiction on the righthand side whilst the other two men are slaving away. This whole bank frontage is filled with so much symbolism but the last picture depicts the true master as one who seeks enlightenment over money.

[@glennso47]

Was it similar to the icon that Moses had to heal the wounds from snake bites? The snake on the pole?

[@joshburris6466]

Do leclaire pretty sure it has tons of history

I like what you were looking into it's very interesting and raises to question many thoughts of this reality and the truth!

It’s clear that we’ve been lied to about our history among innumerable other things, but I’m not convinced by mudflood/Tartaria theories. The stories of giant bones, weapons and tools being found in mounds in our area are undeniable, but I have yet to see anything regarding the mudflood hypothesis that’s even remotely convincing. There was a flood, just not when and how Tartaria advocates say it was.

[@JRESHOW]

For sure. It’s hard telling what happen, but something was in the details and were ignored in history class.
