This is a channel dedicated towards the preservation of older and rarer documentaries and memories on several topics and making them accessible to the public for educational purposes. Local events and a little history of the Town of Wheatfield NY (my hometown) is included. My other main channel is Secrets and Mysteries which features an older 1980s series called Secrets of the Unknown. Dapplewood History (Wheatfield / oral histories) is another channel. I do not make any money on any of these these efforts. Like and Subscribe in all of them as it really helps :) Thank you for visiting!
the whole thing is crazy ,from the strange behavior of the whole family before and after ,,i once believed LIZZIE alone did the murders, I think she was involved ,but had help either from the uncle ,house keeper ,sister or all ,,not to mention the other murders commited with ax or hatchets at the time of jury selection in the Borden trial ,,crazy but worth the study,,nice old video ,
Just returned from a trip to St. Louis. We were impressed by the city and thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Gateway Arch. We also enjoyed a Cardinals game!
@@karenoblick1619 Yeah basically On river road and further back. Right next to and basically within the love canal region as well. On the border between Wheatfield and niagara falls.
I retrieved five hand cut limestone blocks with odd shapes from an abandoned foundation . They look as if they are from hotshot barricade at for Niagara. Lots of cool stuff around.
Excellent video . . . takes me back to childhood in St, Louis and watching it grow into the sky, and the other buildings being built in downtown - including Busch stadium. The closeups of the workers and the construction methods are great!
I am always astonished by these old construction documentaries that actually have some of the recorded audio of the construction crew at work. The way those guys communicated and got the job done back in those days was something special. Maybe not for them at the time, but looking back at this now makes you say wow!
My stepdad Ron helped to build the Arch . I was in 4 th. grade and recall how I was so upset when my older sister was allowed to submit her note + name along with other classmates into the time capsule and I was not included . Now I feel lucky to have those memories and wish I would be here when they open the capsule in 2065 , but my children will and hopefully they will be touched by the memories of those children as I am touched by my memories of that time. St. Louis has changed alot since those days but the Arch will hopefully always stand strong, the gateway to the west 😍
I can imagine watching this film in HS. I also recall watching a NASA rocket sitting on the launch pad spewing vapor endlessly without a launch on live TV.
They men that do that kind of work have my gratitude. They are amazing. But the documentary says that being out a 1/64th of a inch at the top could be catastrophic. I find that hard to believe. That's about .030 of an inch. I doubt that they could even tell if it was off .030.
My father was a police officer that walked a beat down there when that was mostly bars and hotels. He took hundreds of pictures starting with site clearing all the way up to fit out. I still have the photos he took.
this gave me the heebies. that high and no tie offs.. people were different then. as monuments go this is by far the one i find most interesting, part because of the construction and part the fact you can go to the top and stand atop with nothing underneath you (well not directly anyway). which brings us to the other facinating thing it has, that odd tram to the top. i will never get to see it in person because i don't like flying, and america doesn't interest me enough to sweat and hyperventilate through 14 hours of commercial passenger flight, but this free standing huge slender arch still intregues me.
