This is Winston Ho, and thanks for the video! I enjoyed watching it! What's funny is that my own KZread 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

Your remark at the end about how everywhere else is weird compared to New Orleans really made the entire video.

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.

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.

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.

If you stand at Poland avenue just off the french market you can can watch the ships go by the river above your head.

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

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 ⚜️

Bienville’s Dilemma is a great read to learn a lot of the backstory of how New Orleans came to be.

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.

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

This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites on KZread! Absolutely love these detailed explanations.

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.

This is the most interesting content anywhere at the moment. Your videomaking is incredible.

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!

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 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.

I mean… I was on this trip and I still learned more from this video. 10/10

love the quality of your production Daniel! Keep up the great work

Watched all the map videos today and they’re great! I would love to see a video about Savannah Georgia, not as big of a city as the other ones you’ve done but you’d do it well for sure.

these are awesome, please keep it up! I def recommend doing Buffalo, NY!

@Peter!!!! I miss you so much and proud to see your representing our home!!! 💚💜💛

not even mentioning the city park just shows how much more there is to say about new orleans

Loved this video (especially the dog parade) and I am hoping you will do St. Louis next, but I'm not the boss of you. Doesn't matter which city, I'll still watch it

Yes! I’m building a Cities Skylines city inspired by New Orleans right now this video is perfect!

12:52 wow i honestly never thought about above ground/underground burials! My city was colonized by the Portuguese so I guess that's why all of our older cemeteries have elaborated above ground tombs, I just thought it was the norm eveywhere!

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.

I’ve been loving all of these videos, great job on them! I could watch for hours, even more detail and history and depth would be fantastic. Also screw Robert Moses, I literally gasped when you said his name, like a surprise cameo of a recurring villain in a tv show.

New Orleans is home, and I've been waiting for you to do a video on her for so long. Wonderful job!

I was in New Orleans over new years and I wished I had seen this video before going. Well done.

I love the Johnny Harris & Vox vibes

As a Detroiter, New Orleans and Boston compete as my number two and three favorite American cities. Thanks for sharing.

Daniel, this channel is so good/inspiring. I learn so much from each of these videos, keep it up.

I was just there for the first time 1 month ago !!! This is so 🔥🔥

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

Born and raised in that city and for as much as I thought I knew; this vid sharpened my awareness of the things I didn't. Great work bruh.

You should do a video about the map of LA. It’s so interesting how LA started as a bunch of smaller towns with lots of agriculture then turned into massive oil fields, then the mega city that it is now.

Amazing content, this channel is bound to blowup keep it pushing.

this channel is gold , doing great sir , thanks to your guests who know alot about their cities

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! Best channel on KZread rn imho ❤️

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!

Amazing video! Excited to see what city you cover next!

Another great video. Another city for me to add to actually enjoy and visit after I retire my trucking career in June.

I was stationed at the Naval Support Activity in Algiers in the late 1990's. We would walk down to the Canal Street ferry and hang out in the Quarter. I still love that city.

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.
