As a native who was trapped downtown during Katrina, I don't recommend doing a video about it unless it's an oral history consisting of interviews. I don't speak for everyone who experienced it, but I don't think it's an easy historical event to accurately capture in a short youtube video. There's a lot of conspiracy woven in with truth. Certain details of the narrative are either obscurred or falsehoods repeated over and over until it's accepted as fact.

It's kind of incredible how entitled rich out-of-towners can be, anywhere in the world. In France, rich retirees like to move into small villages, and then write to the local government complaining about how they're disturbed by the sounds of church bells and farm animals. (What's the government going to do, ban Christianity and farming?) Also, why do I feel such a strong urge to smoke?

I did so for a charity organization called clowns without borders. They sent clowns to refugee camps to play with the kids and make them playful again. So personally I hade to be happy and cheer full all the time. Since that was the purpose of our organization; to spread joy and laughter. I almost got burnt out from one summer doing that, but I bet it was an important experience. There where also far to high expectations when it came to the result of our work. So we worked really hard to achieve what they wanted from us.

I wasn’t in New Orleans, but I was an EMT here in metro Atlanta during Katrina and worked as a part of a multiagency response to patients and evacuees being flown in to the local Air Force reserve base. I worked 72hr straight (mandatory overtime) and it was a situation of controlled chaos. We had no idea when planes full of people were showing up or what they were showing up with...there were fears of malaria and TB widespread in the patient population. We were cramming our ambulances as full as possible and driving them wherever we could to offload them to a facility. After 3 days I essentially hitch-hiked from the staging area so I could get to the rehearsal and prep for my cousin’s wedding the next day (in which I was the best man).

Nay on the (slight, probably unintentional) insinuation that all the tourists on ghost tours believe in the paranormal. It's still fun to be led around and hear an entertaining guide do their bit on all the spots even if you're not a crazyperson. :) Also very interesting to know that the interest in that stuff wasn't really around before Interview with a Vampire.

Born and raised in the Magnolia Projects (ain't there no mo') and bring my out-of-town guests on tours to include the 'holes in the wall' spots. Those are the perks of being born and raised here. Oh, and I do it pro bono simply because I love my city. Good video, bro.

I've always really enjoyed in-person historical tours, and while I am ok with a lack of historical accuracy, it would be great if, perhaps by using the internet, there could be a sustainable market for tourists who would, in fact, be interested in a more historically accurate tour, focussing on social history. With COVID, that all seems very far off! For now, I'm very happy to be enjoying your videos!

Back when I worked security, I used to work with a tour company that did nighttime tours of old Welsh castles, and I was surprised by how much worse people act on tours compared to when they're at a pub or bar. I was really surprised how rowdy they got, the company's policy was if you so much as interrupt the tour guide you have to leave the castle, drunk people usually lasted 10 minutes into a 2-hour tour, I eventually lost that particular job as they switched to remote tours which are just a set of wireless headphones that the tour guide can talk to people through while sitting in an office, so I was no longer needed to protect the tour guide I instead worked for the organisation that owned the castle rather than the tour guide to make sure tourists didn't vandalise or damage the castle while they were on remote tours. The company eventually lost its licence to do tours of that castle due to the way tourists were acting, everything from damaging signs, starting fights going to the bathroom where ever they wanted, and even having sexual intercourse while on the tour... But I will say Americans were usually the nicest tourists, although to be fair most Americans were usually families, compared to say other tourists (I'm not going to single out any particular nation, other than they tended to be from countries neighbouring Wales..) who were usually 20 year old single males who had just joined the tour after leaving a sports game.

In college, my dorm building was on the National Historic Register, so there were always tours going through the public parts of the building. So many freaking tourists would take pictures of us eating in the dining hall (the old hotel parlor) or in the courtyard. Like, I get it, it's a historic place and it's gorgeous, but it made us feel like props on a set laid out for entertainment. Also, tourists would block pathways and not move, making us squeeze past them to get to the elevators. They'd also stop us in the courtyard *IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL DAY* to ask us questions about where things are or ask us questions about the college or the building. I get that they're tourists and are bound to have questions, but it's not a secret that it's a functioning college campus with students who need to get to classes.

I was a tour guide for a time in a Colonial southern historical home and a homeless man wandered into the home with the tour upstairs. He then ordered the tour out of his house because he was the king of England and as the king, he held domain over the home since it was in the colonies. After ejecting the king he then stood in the church graveyard across the street yelling at the house and the squatters (us) in it. For three hours. In torrential downpour. Tour guiding in urban areas is interesting. (Also we weren't allowed to call slaves "slaves." They were the "servants." The home was (and is) owned by a 'descendant' group that wants nothing more than to push Lost Cause trash rather than face the fact that their ancestors were terrible, terrible, people.)

Savannah is known throughout here in the state of GA for its ghost tourism, not for anything specific like Salem, but because of it's long history as the oldest city in the state and its beautiful antebellum atmosphere in many parts. Also you caught me with that joke. Started thinking about how we've had restrictions/prohibitions of tobacco ads on TV and radio since the 1970s and realizing that since KZbin is naturally more deregulated than either platform, it is totally possible for someone to actually sponsor tobacco on here. Unless there is some obscure part of the Community Guidelines or Terms of Service that prohibit it, which I give those videos a month or two, give or take some years, before the algorithm finds out.

I used to be a motion picture lighting technician, and one time I was working at Universal Studios. I saw a tour tram go by, and the guide was pointing to a building with the Alfred Hitchcock logo on it, saying that was where Hitch had his offices. And right then and there, I saw what bullshit the tour was. Because I had worked at Universal while Hitchcock was still alive, and I knew his offices were right next to the Universal Commissary, next to the food... I've only been to New Orleans once, around 1995. I was flown there by my friend, Teddy Haggarty, who was Alec Baldwin's standin on a movie being shot there. And Teddy wanted to have an art exhibition at a locals bar on Conti off of Bourbon, the name escapes me now. So he brought me to hang his paintings there. Teddy also had some strippers as friends, who we made up like mermaids, and we carried them to the bar to sit on it. Teddy used the bar as a stage for a surrealist play. I loved the city and explored quite a bit. I have friends from Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles, who live in NOLA. Teddy also had a girlfriend, a blonde, who was a tour guide, I forget her name. But she had been the girlfriend of a New Orleans artist named, Noel Rockmore, who did the illustrations for a Bukowski book, I think called Death Hand and the Maiden, and also was responsible for the portraits of musicians in Preservation Hall. Teddy and his brother Leonard owned a business in New Orleans called Architectural Angel, which business was destroyed by Katrina. When I was in New Orleans, I tried to find a friend from his Another Planet days in Downtown Los Angeles, Clyde Casey; The Avant Guardian, who builds mobile drum machines in NOLA. Never found him while I was there... I myself live in New Orleans' unofficial sister city, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico...

Had a similar life experience about 6 years ago as door to door salesman for a company I will not mention because I do not want to be sued. I feel like these experiences of meeting the best and worst people back to back are part of any job where you regularly interact with the public. I didn’t make very much money cuz it was on commission only (I was desperate right after college and am financially secure now) and quit after 9 months of that. Yeah I will never work a job like that ever again. Little rant related to the story of the loud speaker man. People in upper class communities are the worst by far. Not all, but generally that’s where you see your Karens and Kens living and making life shit for the people around them. I would prefer selling at trailer parks any day of the week over selling even close to an upper middle class neighborhood. I will never live in a neighborhood with an HOA because of the experiences of dealing with those people. I did learn a lot about sales though and having thick skin which has been very helpful these days.

I wish you would still tour guide. Maybe a special paid tour for fans of the channel. I'd totally pay for a guided tour directly from you.

Been both a guide on Bulgaria blacksea coast and also have in some way shape or form involved with local archeology, I was discussed with the type of tourist that our industry and government target. We are Europe oldest country( no Italy is not Rome and I won't even start with the birth place of Civilization and our southern neighbors and they're BS.) The oldest Gold jewelry is at the museum in Varna, most towns on the coast are 3000 and more years old and I can go on like that for way to much, but we are know for having the cheapest boose in the EU and the shit house named Sunny beach which happens to be just next door to the oldest town in Europe but the people who go there don't even see the sea because they have a room that looks the other way a the pool bar is on that side of the hotel, true story 2 weeks next to the beach and learns that there is a sea on the way to his plane to the UK. And American history student gets told by his professor that there is nothing interesting in Bulgaria. Just ruins from 4 empire's just in walking distance from my home in the center of Sofia (the capitol) probably the last place I will tell someone to go to when in my country is, it's nice but for holidays If you have more than a month ok spend a day or two here there is lot of cool stuff just there's cooler stuff else were and ok we have

I was just curious, would you be interested in adding another channel to your list. It would be a history/english lit. channel directed towards maybe middle school students that are closer to being freshman? The reason I'm asking is that the kid's have been out of school for so long & it may be even be longer because the 2nd wave of the pandemic will hit the hardest in the Fall & Winter months & the 3rd wave will hit in the Spring. The kid's have lost so much time in school because of it & they really could use the help you could give them with history & english lit. You would be the best person I've ever seen to teach them & keep their attention & interest in those subjects in those grades being closer to their freshmen year. You could make money from KZbin with the channel & it would compensate you for your time. Please think about it & contact me about this.

Okay man, the PBS produced DVD on Benjamin Latrobe ended not very satisfactorily in New Orleans. And while sometimes that's just how history plays out, is there anything more you might have done? I mean, some people really care about architecture, and Latrobe just did not get his propers. Is there anything else you can do to remedy this?
