The real question is if there are any cities in New Hampshire

@@cmillivol98 Oh my god... There are other cities in Rhode Island apart from Providence. I'm shocked.

Montpelier. I only know it because of that commercial that had some family naming capitals of states and they asked what the capital of Vermont was and a 2 or 3 year old said Montpelier and the were all surprised.

Wow you seem to show up everywhere

Well, it's called One World Trade Center officially, Freedom Tower was the name that people were giving it prior to its completion and I know many people still call it that to this day and think its a better name (can't argue there, since it has more of an impact and matches its architectural height, the structure as a whole all the way to the tip is actually taller though) but that's not it's actual name. Also 1776 was the year we declared our freedom through the Declaration of Independence, the revolutionary war continued until 1783 when the Treaty of Paris officially ended the war and granted us our freedom from Great Britain (although the Siege of Yorktown in 1781 marked the final engagement of the war on American soil).That being said, it's true we basically were doing our own thing from 1776 onward (even before then technically) which is why that year is so significant to America and its fight for freedom from Great Britain. Just some extra information to elaborate on your comment and perhaps help clarify things for non-Americans (or even some Americans) who are curious about the historic background and significance of the building's unofficial name and architectural height of 1776 ft.

@@elidaze5868 iirc, it's 1476 feet to the top floor, which matches the height of the twin towers. The spire/antenna is 300 feet, to bring the total to 1776, obviously to reference the year of our Declaration of Independence.

@@UTbrother obersvatiom deck up three is unreal

@@UTbrother I think you're right, I always get confused with the heights of these huge skyscrapers. I couldn't remember off the top of my head if the building itself was 1776 ft but was taller with the antenna or the other way around and I didn't have time to check it in the moment. Thank you for clarifying :)

I was surprised to see the Palazzo because we have the Stratosphere tower right down the street from The Palazzo, and it’a almost twice as tall.

@@GrimTuseday It says building, not an ugly tower.

@@assassin_rk42 YOU TAKE THAT BAAAAACK

@@mythmaker3250 I live here and the Stratosphere is the ugliest thing that happened besides Vegas becoming family friendly only to end Treasure Island.

@@assassin_rk42 I lived in Vegas for 9 years and I disagree.

1885 Home Insurance Building. There were taller buildings so what made it a skyscraper? It was the first building that was built with the interior steel ibeam frame and that allowed tall buildings to be built, otherwise the base of a brick building would end up being like the great pyramid......thick.

@@jacklewis5452 the first building to exist as a 'skyscraper' was in Chicago built in 1885 if i remember correctly. Just because there are taller buildings now does not mean that building wasnt the first. Also, to be a skyscraper, the building needs to be 40 stories high (or approx. 150m)

@@harleyhill3802 he said there was taller buildings before the Chicago one

Yes Chicago is not only the Windy city, yet Skyscraper City.

@@Cat-ki3hy It is. Also, after hearing that my hometown was known for gambling I started noticing how many mini-gambling places we had. Albertsons, Sams, Dollar Tree, pretty much everywhere.

I'm no Chicagoan but always been a fan of skyscrapers...and to me it also has always been the sears tower... always will be!

Live in Chicago, will always be the Sears tower to me. Even if I didn’t live hear, still the Sears tower.

Well I mean it's kinda both, or, well, it's either both, or was one and changed to another, either way I think both would be correct altho correct me if I'm wrong

They do in nyc and Chicago

Power projection, that's why.

@@drewpamon right, I’m agreeing with you, Los angles has 14 million metro area but you’d never guess by its skyline

The formerly AT&T building in NYC is ominous to see. It's very tall, all concrete and has either only a few windows or absolutely no windows.

Looks more like Sauron’s tower especially when passing by on a highway at night lol

@@DragonStormGoddess Definitely check out the AT&T building in NYC. It's like eighty stories and literally zero windows.

@@Me-fv7iv are you referring to the twin buildings I like to call the king and queen chess pieces? I live in Georgia too.

Los Angeles has them for obvious reasons. The earth shakes here lol

every city has restrictions.

I've heard Baltimore's skyscrapers are limited due to our proximity to DC. Not sure how true that is.

@@Hey_Jamie LA had a height restriction of 150 feet until 1957, when it was repealed. LA then made it mandatory for tall buildings to have helipads on top so that’s why most of LA’s skyline lacks spires, but luckily that law was repealed 6 years ago.

More cities need sign height restrictions as well. It really cleans up the view.

@@Koll-Manee Lmao ya

Yeah but Sears was going outta business they kinda had to unfortunately

They could’ve picked a better name tho Willis tower sucks lol

No one from here calls it Willis....it’s the Sears. We know right away if you’re a tourist.

@@4potslite169 ...tourist. I had no idea it got renamed. I was wondering why they had the wrong name with the building. 😆

They renamed it since Willis Holding Group (English Insurance company) rented out the most amount of floorspace in the building. It was apart of the contract for an incentive for a couple of decades (sometime in the 80's) that no one took advantage of.

Oh dang thx for the fact

Adam Weishaupt would beg to differ about why it is that height.

@@RacerX-bv9io Well you’re begging to be wrong then lol. It’s documented as being the reason why. And it makes sense because of what happened on 9/11. They constructed a building with the very height announcing you can’t take away our freedom

@@jordanpinheiro9172 Hence why it was originally named the Freedom tower

@@bloodarmyproductions correct

You beat me to it

I'm not from Chicago, but it's always going to be the Sears Tower to me.

@@AG-OldmanBrick Same, and I'm from Los Angeles. hah.

Chicagoans are the only ones that know it was even renamed to something other than the Sears Tower!

From Chicago, never going to call it the "Willis Tower" lol

from md, most people still call it sears tower or 'formerly sears tower' bc that's the iconic name

It was ever bigger then the twin towers but the one World Trade Center is here now cause of the twin towers being bombed so if the bombing didn’t happen it would have kept the title longer

@@beyji1plays839 its also bigger than the One world trade Center if you don't include the spire.

If the Sears Tower and the One World Trade Center buildings were side by side and you went to the top floor of each building, the people in the Sears Tower would be looking down at the people in the OWTC building. I don't think spires/antenna's should count, honestly. It should be the tallest useable floor.

@@AndySaputo Central Park tower NYC 1550' with no spire, 100' taller than Willis tower.

@@stash4945 I'm not sure where you found that? I searched around and found the following: "With the needle, 1 World Trade Center is a symbolically important 1,776 feet tall. Without it, the building would have been only 1,368 feet tall - well short of the 1,451-foot Willis (Sears) Tower."

It happens when a lot of people go to live in one City so they have no choice but to build up they can't just start building on another cities land because thats illegal

@@jonathanprime1507 You do realize how much space there is between cities in the US, right?

That's all the space That's uninhabited.

@@derekbriere I wouldn't necessarily consider that space "uninhabited". For example, in the city closest to where I live there was recently a 249,884-square-foot single story store that opened on 38.5 acres. That store is within city limits, and actually pretty conveniently located, even if it's not in the heart of downtown. It's just that the size of the city limits, relative to the population, allows for a lot of space between businesses in a lot of US cities. And I live near a pretty normal, mid-sized city in my state, about 11th in size overall.

@@stephsdlnthms3957 I'm in Montana, so our city-to-uninhabited-land ratio is pretty high. We have a population that would fill ONE city in a tiny state compared to us. About one million people live in my state. Most states are like mine, so there really is a LOT of uninhabited land.

They don’t do much sleeping in Vegas! 😎

I always call Las Vegas, Sin City

Actual Neon lights are only red and orange, other colors use different gases

Orlando FL is also City of Lights. Las Vegas-Lost Wages. Aka Sin City.

Rhode island, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire are smaller in terms of land mass. But VT is the least populated state in the entire Union.

@@adamarguin9925 no lol Wyoming has less people

@@Tornnnado you're right. I stand corrected.

Not to mention tornado alley isn't a smart place to build tall buildings.

@@korie4198 This^ espcially this

I was coming here to say this. Just some constructive criticism to make the viewing more enjoyable!

He just moved it up in my video and apologized. On behalf of the comments, we accept the apology 😂

I think the best thing would be to shrink the size of the video and shift it over. That way, there is minimal overlap. This will create a gap of "blank" space that would be perfect for a logo or a title or even just a subtle background...

@@sophiefilo16, I hated to actually say anything cause I like his site and didn't want to look "Trollish", but it does block much text and info.

@@Titus-as-the-Roman It also takes way from the video when he always has to adjust his camera while the video is playing. I've delayed giving criticism since he doesn't seem very experienced in this sort of thing, and I don't know what software he is using. He is working on getting a greenscreen right now, but I really don't think that's necessary. If he trims the extra space on his camera and makes the video he is reacting to smaller, it'll work fine. Conversely, he can fill the screen with his face and put the video in the corner. I think he should also do some light editing to trim out moments of him adjusting the camera, blowing his nose, etc. His thumbnails also have an issue in which whenever he uses red text, it is incredibly hard to read. Changing the text to white or simply adding a white background to the text would solve this. Overall, just a few easy fixes will greatly improve the quality of his videos. He doesn't need to buy any new technology. He just needs to learn the software better and practice a few things off-camera...

It was right down the block from it actually at the original AT&T building built back in the early 1920s (the tallest red brick building you can see in the image). It was built in a way that was supposed to be bomb proof, but unfortunately, the bomb did quite a bit of damage not only to that building but also destroyed several 1800s era buildings across the street. After the modern AT&T building, what we locals call the Batman building, was built, the original building was repurposed to house servers and other equipment that controls the wi-fi/cell service for several states in this region as well as the continued hosting of the remaining landlines. I was deeply saddened by the bombing. Not only are the buildings that were destroyed one of my favorite areas of the city, but my grannie worked in the old AT&T building as a switchboard operator back during WWII. It was still called Bellsouth back then, but AT&T acquired all Bellsouth properties in the early 2000s. She used to tell us stories about working there. It was such a different time. Separate elevators for men and women and NAP rooms for the ladies who weren't feeling well due to their time of the month. There was also a flood that happened that trapped her in the building overnight once until the waters receded the next day so the nap room came in very handy for the unintended on the job sleepover.

We call it the Batman building.

Nah that’s Salesforce Tower in San Francisco

Seems fitting for AT&T and their illegal domestic wiretapping escapades.

It's literally "Key Bank". I know it doesn't really matter, but I figured I'd add a snippet more to Kate's post. JPMorgan Chase is a giant bank. Both Bank of America buildings are literally BOA facilities. North Carolina's is their headquarters and they have others that aren't necessarily the biggest spread throughout the country. They may lease out some of the floors, but they go for big when building.

The att building in nashville? Heck its perfectly in line with the titans football stadium so the building looks like a giant goalpost.

Didn't it just get bombed?

@@shane-ke8ge nah the smaller red building closer to the river in the picture did. I think they have either servers in the building or a lot of switchboards.

AT&T was the biggest part left of the old Bell Telephone Company after it was broken up. And yes, Bell as in Alexander Graham Bell, the telephone's inventor.

They had a monopoly on phone service in the U.S. until they were broken up into a long distance company and a bunch of “baby bells” for local service. Over time they’ve become one of the biggest telecommunications companies in the country. And to top things off they own Warner Brothers (and DC Comics) now

Damn save on rent AND gym membership!

@@Hey_Jamie move upstate. Your money will go farther (OK I know you won't move)

@J M Yes Indeed.

Thanks for the heads up. LoL. I moved here a year ago and glad I didn't look dumb calling it the wrong name.

You mean direct tv

AT&T = American Telephone and Telegraph They were the monopoly landline phone provider and long distance service provider. They were broken up in the 1980s.

@@MichaelScheele I was just about to say the same thing. It seems weird that so many people that I meet these days do not know about or remember C&P or the Bell Companies.

@@MTBOSS09 yes direct tv......thanks for the correction

@@MichaelScheele they were the landline provider for long distance during that time.

The only point for us is the looks and to flex

though sadly it would be super beneficial as we would need cars less and we could more easily promote public transportation if nothing was too spread out. Would be better for the environment if we built taller than wider :/

It's kinda overrated and a little bit of a rip off in my opinion 360 Chicago is better.

I’ve been to both and I can confirm 360 Chicago at the John Hancock Center is way better, the service and time to get to the top were ridiculously faster than the Sears (I don’t mean elevators, I mean the lines to the elevators) and the views were better in my opinion. On 2 sides of the Sears, you can’t even see downtown, you just see the suburbs and stuff. South view on 360 is all of downtown, East is Lake Michigan and Navy Pier, South is still Lake Michigan but some beaches and the coast, West isn’t as good as the others but you’ll still see some action.

Old name was Sears Tower. The current name is Willis Tower. I prefer Sears Tower but they didn't ask me.

@@ElleW As a Chicagoan, I can confirm no one calls it Willis, everyone calls it the Sears Tower

@@jelletinny Oh I definitely get that! It will always be Sears Tower to me ... and I didn’t like that they changed the name at all. I am in the Chicagoland area but not Chicago proper. I just don’t get the point of renaming buildings that have such an important and long history.

Geography King is a genuinely epic trove of useful information.

Vermont has strict Act 250 property laws. It means we can't build anything that impacts the environment too heavily. It's not so much a population or space issue as much as the state's attempt to have a smaller environmental footprint. For example, a Starbucks recently had to build inside of an old boutique shop that used to be a house even before that. They're not allowed to build their own building. The had to stick to using established infrastructure. [The idea behind it is commendable, but sometimes the rules are so strict a lot of stores and chains don't want to deal with the hassle of trying to establish a base in the state and skip Vermont altogether].
