@@CaseyRoman Here's a twist for you, Casey. Perhaps John and Peter of RV Geeks would be interested in featuring your travels and your particular vlogging style for a piece on their new show _The RVers_ on Discovery Channel and PBS. Just a thought.
Best Best Best .. Absolute best channel on RU-vid today. I just finished a trip up the Pacific Coastline from San Diego to Seattle, then checked out Seattle for 2 weeks. Did the Space Needle, Discovery Park, and all the tourist stuff, ran up the side of Mount Rainer (twice) and got a bumper sticker to prove it. Played golf at a couple of courses, and had the best gin martini ever at Gino's at Dash Point Pier on the Puget Sound .. and now I'm ready to head towards Glacier National Park and I so wish there were your videos for each of the towns in between so I could get the "take" or feel on a town that you get with each one. This channel is great and I really really appreciate your hard work, technical skill and artistic talent at story telling. So proud to watch this channel that you own just grow and grow, knowing it will become one of the best on RU-vid.
Casey, You are by far the BEST Story teller of all the vanners out there, You Rock , Can't wait for the next place and story to follow.. Thank You for sharing...
A piece by Casey on the Pennsylvania Amish would, no doubt, be a•maz•ing! Casey, take it from me, you'd love it! It's just your kind of thing. You'd want to spend more than one day with them, though.
You amaze me. Your irreverence and eloquent snark dragged me in, but it is your talent and unique view of this country and it’s history that keeps me here. Bravo for a job exceptionally well done.
Beautifully done, research, photography, writing and narration. You are the best there is for finding interesting content and professional presentation. Respect dear lady!
I came here several years ago and took a tour the guys that gave the tour where the most wonderful people I've ever met .They he's a complete history of the place we're very knowledgeable in steelmaking I found this place to be magical unbelievably quiet an absolutely huge. After this when on up to Bethlehem Pennsylvania and visited Bethlehem Steel it was a sight to behold as well !! I want to thank all the men and women who worked in the mills and help build our GREAT country !!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good Morning, was hoping you would be on, who ever would have thought, that the rust belt would be on my travel list!!! Have a great week end. Be safe.
Another fantastic video Casey! I'm serious when I said in the last comment that you need to consider amalgamating all of these different historical snippets into a documentary and submitting it to PBS or the History Channel as an indie project. The other thing to remember, as I may have previously told you is HISTORY=HIS STORY, and "HE", whomever he may be is sticking to it. Truth, unfortunately, has no place in most history books today. Truth will be reliant upon the individual, such as yourself, to be told to future generations. Thanks again for another outstanding video.
I agree. I've found the shows that cover sites by state rather disappointing. I'd rather hear in-depth stories about sites, cultures, and industries than landmarks.
I'm speechless. Another fantastic video. I've told my granddaughter to start following you so she can learn the true history of our country. Thank you. I just want to give you a big hug. That's what grandpas do.
So happy to have found your channel. The videos keep getting better and you always have the most interesting topics. Cant wait till I am on the road to see it in person. Hope you keep touring and doing videos.
Whoa! Incredible photography/videography, writing and narration, in addition to post-production editing time, talent and tenacity. To this, she even adds a movie promo-quality soundtrack for dramatic effect. Well done, Casey. Thank you so much for the wonderful look into the Carrie Furnace. The context and color you add to the historical aspect of the facility is definitely part of your "secret sauce". And, "Sexy Steel" had me chuckling aloud in my solitude. Only card-carrying bad asses need to apply, as they're the only men up to the challenge of giving as good as they get from the fiery red one!
Wow! My dad worked on the freighters on The Great Lakes & my grandfather worked in the train yard in Ashtabula, he regulated the iron ore loading. I am very proud of their contribution to "build America". The Carrie Blast Furnace certainly looks interesting and hopefully I can visit soon. Thank you.
Back when men were real M-E-N!!!! I love it!!!! I don't know how you do it, but your videos and the information you provide are always the best!! The places you visit make my heart sing. This is what America is all about. Thank you Casey!!
You are rapidly becoming a younger version of my all time favorite journalist/broadcaster. Living in the state of North Carolina must somehow instill an awareness uncommon among others. Keep up the good work.👍
Another homerun in Casey's Quest for Americana! You are simply amazing, girl! I come from an oilfield background and it too, was filled with rough and tough men, intrigue, danger and dirty deals that powered America into greatness. So many stories, so little time! This was the perfect Saturday afternoon break, thanks Casey 😍
Great video,I am from a steel town in England called Scunthorpe where there are the Famous 4 Queens blast furnaces,called Victoria Anne ,Mary and Bess name after 4 Queens of England. , and luckily we are still making iron and steelJust ,and by the way I loved the video brought back so many memories as I worked at the Blast Furnaces for over 39 yrs.😊😊
We lived in Rankin, mid to late 50s, dad worked open hearth. We heard many awesome stories of the daily activities there. As well, an uncle, my grandfather, all worked there as well.
This video reminds me of my time working in a steel mill as a young guy. It was McLouth steel in Trenton Mi. , worked there for 10 years. It has long sense closed down. Have I ever told you that I love your videos ) Nice job on this video pretty lady. Big thumbs up...
Casey: You are such an excellent storyteller providing us with insight otherwise forgotten.Its interesting to see how much of America is behind us and how spoiled we’ve become without understanding and respect for the sacrifice of our forefathers. Keep it up take us to places that challenge us. Travel Safe Peace
No doubt you should have a steel mill with your name on it...hot, fierce, a bit temperamental, but a source of strength to all who come in contact with you...and the stuff legends are made of! Casey Roman...woman of steel! 😘🦸♀️😉 I really enjoyed this edition...and have added "eating a steak cooked by molten steel" to my to do list!
I just love blast furnaces. I never worked in one, but I did work at it's closest approximation, a carbon producing facility where a rotating steel drum was being fed material that was being reduced to carbon by a smaller version of a blast furnace.
Bravo! You hit it out of the park again. I liked that you put the "pajama boys" in their place with admiration for the manly men who worked the mills. Like him or hate him you have to give our President credit for bringing back American industrial /manufacturing jobs which used to be the backbone of the American economy and main stay of the middle class.
Casey every video you make is great. On this one you hit the ball out of the park. You are a shooting star in a dark night sky. Truly a beautiful thing to behold. Thankyou
I truly enjoy all of your stories...you have just the right amount of actual historical facts, sarcasm, sentiment and wonderfully frames shots. Not sure what direction you'll be going, but Easton, PA seems like a town that would fit your story style. I'm not exactly sure of what industry was prominent there, but when I drove through years ago there were a lot of old industrial buildings no longer in use. Also, I went to college in Scranton, PA, which was huge in the time of coal and railroads but fell to almost nothing once the mining stopped. But it's full of genuine people, gorgeous old houses and interesting history...and lots of places to park. They also claim to be the pizza capital of the world, or something like that. Keep shooting!! :)
Damn that’s a good video. Keep it up and I’m starting a Casey Roman trail where people visit all the places you do stories on, this is definitely a place I want to visit now.
Amazing! Like you, I always think back to what people must have gone through to do what they did! Today’s granola, vegan, skinny jeans, man bun hasn’t a clue!
Your stellar story writing and presentation deserves a wider audience. Great overview of history through to the present. There is no higher accolade than people of the trade or region compliment your work. Cheers!
just heard about this place a couple hours ago. work tends to send me around places, like right now im working just outside Pittsburgh and in my downtime i like explore. my friends back home do some researching for me so when i get time i grab the camera and go. this is just what i was hoping to find, see, and background on the place awesome job casey!
Lovely video. Correction though: iron ore was what was put into the oven, out came liquid iron, which then was processed into steel. The liquid iron was transported in those huge railroad cars, ones pf which you have shown.
Awesome, thank you Casey! A lifetime ago I did a traineeship at a steelworks in Australia and can certainly imagine what that blast furnace would have been like in its heyday. Unlike the US, the steelworks in my hometown was torn apart and sold overseas for scrap. As a young country, we find it hard to imagine the scale of the downturn in manufacturing and the waste of empty homes, factories and industrial structures.
