  @@viewmastertravels5114 Was that actually you talking? You have a peculiar diction, or way of talking, my friend. haha It's something along the lines of what I'd hear while listening to an Orson Wells broadcast back in the day! lol Honestly, it's just my opinion, you don't have to change anything. But if you're looking for something, what I'd do (and what I plan to do for another channel), is to look for voice actors to read your script on Fiverr. Instead of paying an Ai service to make those robotic ai voices monthly or yearly, just pay a professional on Fiverr. They're super cheap, and usually only charge by the 'thousands of words'. I think a Fiverr person is better cuz you can pay for them as needed, instead of paying an Ai company a flat rate monthly or yearly. Which is a waste, if you're not publishing videos regularly.

  The hexagon sidewalks were still in my grandparents neighborhood in the 1980s. I remember taking walks with my grandpa when I was a kid going to Kiwanas park and we would walk on the hexagon sidewalks. They were in pretty bad shape in a lot of spots and we nicknamed it “the crappy sidewalk” lol.

  as a relatively younger miami native, born & raised, i’ve gotta say that-locally-coral gables is recognized as a part of miami. i understand not technically, geographically, but if anyone from the cities of coral gables, kendall, doral, westchester, flagler, opa-locka (to name a few) were to be asked where they are from, they would uniformly announce, without hesitation, “miami!” lol it’s funny, the other day i was on a date with a girl who just moved to ft. lauderdale from the midwest. we were meeting at a bar in kendall. she said to me “i really thought we were going to meet in miami” and i said “this is miami!” when she asked me to explain i said “to everyone not from here, miami is exclusively downtown; south beach, etc. but everyone *from* here knows that the character, the charm, the identity of the city as you know it is made up from certain cities that surround it. its essence is imported from within and it doesn’t come from those who live on beach front properties or posh alton road apartments-those are the rich & affluent who don’t shape the culture of miami as much as they simply sunbathe in it. the “look” of miami may be downtown by the beaches, but the spirit of miami is going upward & outward of that” this was a really great video by the way! thanks for this.

  Thanks for this video. I left St. Louis with my parents in 1956 when I was 7 and we moved to St. Petersburg FL. We'd go back for vacation and to see family almost every year through 1961, but I've only been back a few times since then (last in 2009). My wife had never been there when we went to that big family reunion in '09 but she was impressed and loved it. There are a lot of really beautiful sites and areas on the outskirts of St. Louis and suburbs that you wouldn't get to see if you stick to the city proper.

  The green benches and hexagon sidewalk tiles and brick streets were a major feature of St. Petersburg of that era. As a native of that city. Much of that was gone by the time I was born in the early 1960's. St. Petersburg was known as "God's Waiting Room". The benches went away after the 1964 Civil Rights laws. The old Pier went away to be replaced by the early 1970's inverted Pyramid which itself has been replaced. Snell Isle, which isn't really an island at all, is THE neighborhood to live in St. Petersburg, especially if you own a home on Brightwaters Blvd. You have arrived. There may be newer places, fancier places but Snell Isle was old money. Most of the old places have been replaced by ugly modern boxes. We love vintage Vue Master reels and appreciate your research.

  Good video but I would like to share a little insight. The Redwood Highway passing the area of the Big Tree was not bypassed as a result of the 1964 flood and the loss of the bridge. It was still in use until it was bypassed around 1990 as an effort to cut down on the excessive traffic through Redwood National Park during the tourist seasons.

  Great stuff. Possibly the most difficult episode in terms of matching photos from a relatively short time period after the last major eruption, to the present. The present pic with the forest regrown shows how the landscape can change in a short geological timeframe. Some of your pics have strong similarity to the landscape you can see in Yellowstone National Park my favorite place in the world. But in Yellowstone the last major eruption was so very long ago, that the relative change in the general landscape has not varied nearly as much from early views to the present day. Do not get me wrong, there are in fact many changes from year to year in Yellowstone, but we don't have drawings and photos from before eruption to compare to post eruption, and ever ongoing change. You did yeoman work on this episode. Thanks to your careful and accurate research and marvelous commentary, you have created a great learning opportunity, even for an older guy like me.
