Interesting video Chris! I did not know these facts. Thank you for the knowledge!❤

Hi Chris, you forgot to give Chris livability score 😂
U didn’t give your livability index.
Great travel , simple explanation of history thank you Marry Christmas 🎄
Chris, not a very happy story to say the least. All this is new to me so thanks for taking time and posting. The only real "Ghost Town" I have been to is in the city of Buana Park in California, it's the Knott's Berry Farm Ghost Town……. Thank again for your time, work and posting.

FYI Miami OK is pronounced my-am-ah not my-am-ee
It reminds me of the legendary Centralia, PA. I actually been through this area about 40 years ago when I was a kid. I briefly lived in the Joplin area back then.
Fantastic job. Nice steady camera work, excellent narration on the history of what we are seeing, and especially love the date/time/map stamp at bottom of screen to tell us exactly where we are. Thanks.
I drive through Picher all the time. It's so sad.
It should npt have ever happened! I saw videos by Travel with a Wise Guy, I cried my eyes out!
I’ve been to Jerome AZ, it is certainly inhabited and is a tourist town! Not abandoned at all!
Chris! What amazing history and so well delivered. You are commendable for telling stories that you would think people wouldn’t care about, but it truly is the history of manufacturing in the mid West you are expert at sharing. Oh, so happy you played your signature music track towards the end! Thanks bro and congratulations on the new car. Aren’t those made in Mexico now? 🤔
Beat it..okie..muh prawperrrtee.
I noticed what looked like the base of a cell phone tower of 5G no doubt might as well throw some radiation in while we're there. lol
👍🫡
Very well done.
How awful for that area! I live in a gold mining ghost town in California. They've cleaned up the town from old mining tailings. There's too much arsenic in our local water but they swear its below dangerous levels. My health has declined in the last two out of ten years I've lived here. My lungs are taking a hit.😢
Your intro took too long and you sound very bland as you talk. Clickbait? A lot of your older videos are inflammatory and clickbait too.
