Visiting the Places & Memories of My Hometown in TROY, OHIO Age 0-9yrs 

Enjoyed hearing about your childhood! Left my job 27 years ago because I couldn't drop our son off at childcare. 3 kids later, still couldn't do it. Never went back to work. I was lucky I didn't have to work. Now we have 3 grown adults. I don't regret any of it. BUT, now we have 2 dogs that I won't board, so we take them with! Never ends! LOL!

Dude, I'm sorry you had to go through tough stuff. You are a ray sunshine in a dark aggressive world. Some people don't turn out as positive and pleasant, most people actually.

Jordan, I’m so sorry about your dad. I was older but I am fairly certain that my dad died of the same brain cancer. It actually starts in the exterior lobe and is hard to find until it’s too late. I remember being so scared when he hallucinated. God bless you!

I really enjoyed this video. It was great hearing about your childhood and seeing your houses, schools and places you played. It’s so sad that you lost your dad at such a young age. That’s a very difficult thing to go through for a little boy but now I see why you’re so close with your grandpa. He’s always been a big part of your life.

I had a similar experience, I lost my mom at a younger age than i am now. it was surreal experience when i hit that age, realizing i had now outlived her, she passed at the young age of 42

Nice trip down memory lane. Sorry to hear how your father passed. I was adopted and my biological family is mostly in Springfield, Ohio. I'm impressed with how much of an upbeat person you are - you obviously had some great family members who raised you to be nice/ kind person. Peace

Your dad is very proud of the man you have become Jordan, do not ever forget that....

Thank you Jordan for Showing us the places you saw and remember growing up. I'm so sorry about your father's passing .I'm grateful you have such a kind caring compassionate Grandpa for then and now! I remember you told the story of growing up but seeing the places Especially your father's grave moved me to tears. I hope you Know YOU Are Truly Special. Sending Love from Tammy in PA

Hey Jordan, The saddest day in life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes the memory.

I love this vlog so much, and can't wait to see what tomorrow holds. My heart hurts for little, Jordan, with the loss of your Dad. So awesome your Grandpa was there to help you with your paper route on Sundays. Love the thought of you as a little boy having dreams of becoming a Pop Star...Big Dreams. Thank you, Jordan for being so open & sharing your past with us. You are an amazing young man!!! 🌼

Thankyou Jordan, for sharing your special memories of your life and times as a young boy. And becoming the man we all love to watch today. This was a special heartfelt tribute your father would be so proud of. To see his son becoming such a great story teller and a success in all you do . I look forward to the next video much 💛.

Thank you so much for sharing some of your childhood. Sweet vlog with some bittersweet memories. My youngest son lost his Dad at age 12. He's now 30. He's a fine and caring young man -- just like you Jordan.

This is a very touching story. So sad that you had to lose your dad so young. Thanks for sharing your story with us.

I just got back from Israel where I filmed and summarized a lot of the sights. I found myself thinking of Jordan because it's sure harder than it looks! Researching the interesting features, briefly explaining, and then filming around obstacles and noise is a huge challenge. Gotta say he makes it look easy.

Great memories you have. Love the Grandpa & Hardee’s story. Just had a discussion about another vlogger who has 12 kids and does nothing but buy stuff for the kids and doesn’t have time for all of them and she’s touted as “the best mom in the world”. No, it’s what your grandpa and you did that makes memories special. They won’t remember “stuff” they remember connection and attention from people. Can’t wait for Part 2.

It's sad when you loose a family member at a young age. Can understand you being depressed after your father has gone. We know he would be proud to see what you have achieved with this medium of adventure! 1978 my grandmother died seeing her in her casket scared me because it did not look like her. Just a weird experience.

That was super enjoyable, Jordan. Your "statute of limitations" comment made me laugh out loud. I always love hearing about the lives of my favorite people. The stories of your father are especially touching. There's no doubt that losing a parent is very hard on children. When you are older, it's a great comfort and blessing to have good memories of those absent from our lives. A couple of observations about Troy: GRASS EDGERS--someone needs to start a GoFundMe for grass edgers and donate them to the town. LOL! You can let your lawn grass grow a tad long but edging always makes a business, school or a home look well kept. And that little Thomas E. Hook Elementary squirrel needs to know he was on a popular vlog. Perhaps you could send the school a framed screen shot of him along with a bag of unsalted peanuts to put on that tree for him. Looking forward to the next episode on Troy. Kiss Jah for me.

Its so dope that you shared your childhood story with us. One thing I know loosing a love one is extremely hard to mentally deal with. I dont think we ever get pass the hurt. I lost my Grandma to cancer and my Uncle. And then last year I had a battle with cancer also. Another great Vlog Jordan.

Hi Jordan ! Awesome story of your early life ! So sad your dad passed young and you grew up without him . It made you independent and strong man you are today . Thanks for taking us along . See you next time ! Deborah Canada 🇨🇦

Thoroughly enjoyed your childhood memory vlog and looking forward to seeing part 2. Some parts were truly sad but showing how one can continue on to create and relive positive memories to continue appreciating how precious life is. Nice seeing Jah too. ❤️🙏🏻🐕‍🦺🌈

I'm so sorry that you lost your dad at such a young age, Jordan! I hope your stepdad was good to you. My mom married several times, and I didn't have very good experiences with stepdads. Thank you for giving us a peek into your early life.

Thanks for sharing this with us Jordan! Nice to hear about your memories. Although I am sorry to hear about your dad passing away.🙏🏻 love to you and Jah. Continued Blessings and Support. ~Love&Light♥️Carli

Thanks for sharing your memories with us and giving us a chance to know you alittle better ❤

Jordan... Thank you! You had the childhood that alot of us did in the Midwest. People and places with so many emotions and memories. We moved on, but these places remain deep in our memories. Thank you for your honesty and sharing.

You are a very believable storyteller. I got to say Thank you.

Thank You Jordan & Jah for sharing your very touching childhood story. Sam & Dakota send warm Greetings From Colorado to the Jahster 🐾🐾🤗♥️♥️♥️

I'm so sorry you lost your dad at such a young age ☹️ I really enjoyed your childhood memories of your hometown. And it's good that you're doing this now because I grew up in Los Angeles, and they keep knocking down everything here. Last year they knocked down the duplex that I lived in until about 7 years old. Luckily they did not knock down the house that I grew up in, not yet anyway. And the building wasn't that old. It's funny the things you remember as a small child. I remember my first day of kindergarten so vividly. I have my elderly parents living here with me, I don't want them in a facility as long as I can help it.

My dad just passed (I’m from Dayton as well…Kettering to be specific) from cancer and it went to his brain much like your dad. I really enjoy watching your videos as I too was a musician trying to make it back in the day, and hearing you speak about your dad gave me a little more hope that life can still go on and we can still be happy. Appreciate you sharing that part of your life…for me, it helped ❤

I liked hearing about your younger years sorry to hear about your Dad sometimes the past is happy but other times it is hard to revisit. I can relate to that. Look forward to hearing more in future videos. 🙂🐶

I love this video. Too bad you lost your Dad so young. You look alot him. He would be so proud of you.

Thank you, Jordan, for sharing your childhood experiences with us. This personal vlog was very moving. I was very touched by your memories.

Thank you for sharing your childhood with us, Mr. Jordan. I'm sorry to hear about all that happened. However, your daddy is in heaven, and you have done so well in your life! Peace, from Florida.

Sorry to hear about your Dad. You seem like a cool dude. Thanks for sharing your childhood memories!

Thank you for sharing your childhood with us. It’s nice and interesting to hear someone’s backstory. I’m so sorry that you lost your father at such a young age, for you and him. You have grown up to be a fine man. 🤗

Thank you for sharing your past-we share a lot of similar stories-the school stories, the paper route, and having to deal with death at a critical time in our life-thanks, Jordan!

dude I love when you do these kind of vlogs! love seeing where you grew up and hearing stories! great vlog can't wait to watch part 2..

Your Grandpa is a very special person. You can tell how you speak of him that he is your BFF as well.

Seriously , this is one of your best videos !! Can’t wait to see part 2 !! Nice job Jordan

Hi Jordan...thanks for taking us down Memory Lane with you..you know what I think of your Grandad... he's awesome..I love how he makes you 🍳🥞..or hanging out in Ohio with each other...give him a hug 🤗 for me...if you want to..always love seeing the Jahster..Jah is so cute ☺️..loved seeing your homes ❤️

My family were Quakers who settled the Troy area in the early 1800s. They were Haworths and Coppocks, mostly, and are buried near Ludlow Falls. I live in Cincinnati now and go up there occasionally to tend to their graves.

This was very cool seeing your old stomping grounds. Makes me want to go check out where I used to live and my old schools. Seems like a lifetime ago. Time sure passes fast!

Thank you Jordan for taking us down memory lane with you! I really enjoyed the tour of Troy and hearing about your childhood days❤️❤️

I have a couple mildly traumatic experiences from preschool plus a good one that my mom told me about years later. 1) Our recess was in a church gym. They would line us up at the door single file when it was time to go to class. The door to the bathroom was on the adjoining wall at the corner of the room. They had industrial tricycles in the gym - heavy with solid wheels. I got ran over by one of those suckers - and not accidentally. The “perp” was not punished. 2) I had an “accident” one day. The teacher left the bathroom door open when helping to change me. Every one of those kids trooped by, gawking at me as they passed by in single file. Cruelty. It’s not like I was a repeat offender - it only happened that once. So either she was indifferent to my embarrassment or trying to make an example out of me. 3) I was only 3, possibly 4. The teachers told my mom I could read. She told them I was putting them on - I was just pretending to read a book I had memorized from her repetition at bedtime. So the teacher said “Pick a book off the shelf that you don’t have at home.” She picked one and I just started reading away. My mother screamed with shock! Lol. I guess that’s why I can’t ever remember not knowing how to read.

Enjoyed hearing a childhood nostalgia. I know we all have our memories. Is good to revisit what you remember.

Love your childhood stories. My favorite are the “cutting edge” Holly stories. What a cool teacher!

I totally love this walk down memory lane of your life. It is awesome that you can still visit the places you grew up in. Stay safe. ✌️❤️🙏🏼

WOW! Thank you for sharing your personal stories of growing up. So sorry and saddened that you had a rough time with your Dad's passing, something like that is tough to deal with for anyone, especially a kid!

Your father was so handsome! I love his name, Jerry Lee. I lost my parents (9 weeks apart) when I was young so I can understand what you went through. You turned out great, your dad is watching over you. Love your channel!

OMGoodness! I lived in Troy, Piqua, West Milton, Quincy, Covington and several other small towns in that area until I was 12 when I was adopted and moved up by Elyria. I love visiting down there & going down my own memory lane. Hobart Arena and the pool right by it were 2 of my favorite places in Troy. Thanks for taking us along on your visit. ❤

Oh man! When you talked about your grandpa picking you up in his old crystler, i got a flashback of my grandma picking me from school in her 1984 navy blue 4 door cutlass supreme! It didnt have air condition but it got us around! My granny passed in 2006 when i was 15. May your dad rest in peace Jordan!

This was so nice. I had a smile except for the part about your dad. So sorry he left you so soon. My son had a paper route in the 80s and I helped him on Sundays with this heavy papers. Flint had a lot of closed factories and people losing their jobs.

That was an awesome video! I'm enjoying this a lot! You look like your father in that picture! Thank you very much for sharing the places, memories, and private moments. This is so kind of you. I can't wait for the next video! BTW, it's always great to see Jah by your side traveling with you!

Thanks for sharing! So sorry about your dad! I love when you do things from your home town! I am from near the 70 75 interchange! All three of my children had senior pix taken in Troy! I would love to drive around and see all the places you go! So so facinating! I love your channel!

Good morning I'm watching your video of Troy Ohio your hometown I worked 25 years and eventually retired from acetylene oxygen company in Harlingen Texas. We were a master distributor for Hobart Brothers welding company. Mr Albert wolf the owner of the company was on the board of advisors for distributors. If I remember correctly your mother worked at Hobart Brothers great company and excellent products. Someday I would love to visit Troy Ohio sold a lot of welding equipment and filler metals made right there in Troy. Enjoy your Channel keep up the good work

Absolutely loved this vlog!!!!!!!!!! I’m so sorry about your Dad. Thank you for sharing your life!!!!!!!!

Thank you for sharing your life story. You are such a positive person, Jordan. It is so nice to know you better. 😁😁

It was great revisiting your childhood. Great memories. Thanks Jordan and Jah.

Thanks for sharing some childhood memories.These are glimpses of how you became the fine young man you are. Regards from another Ohioan.

I think it’s a beautiful neighborhood very wholesome looking love it

I grew up in Indiana. We all wanted to be Eddie Van Halen or David Lee Roth. I'll never forget when Guns N Roses came out. I was awake watching Headbangers ball the very first time they played welcome to the jungle and I was blown away. Couldn't wait to hear it again. You have great taste in music my friend. Two of the greatest front man ever Axl Rose and David Lee Roth both Hoosiers! Thanks for sharing your memories with us. Sorry about your dad.

Jordan thank you for sharing your childhood stories with us this was great and exciting to see were your humble beginnings have srarted can not wait for the next video on this story an it was great seeing Jah.

Jordan my father died suddenly when I was 8 years old😕 I went to 5 different schools in 5 years. I can relate to your struggles!

So sorry you lost your Dad so young, I was 15 when my parents died in a car accident and I survived, so I get it. 💕🙏

Jordan and Jah'rule, 2 legends in the game. Can't miss!

Thanks Jordan! An “AHIA” boy here too! My mom used to say of our small town that it was a great place to be from. I’m 30 yrs ahead of you and had a paper route too as kid. I hated aluminum doors but probably not as much as the owners disliked my aim! Thanks again for the memory still.

Jordan What a great series of vlogs on your home town. I think I was 35 when I wanted to go back and record my schools and homes I grew up in. Talked to older people in my life and record some family history. I guess everyone does that at some point in their life. My dad died of cancer when I was 13. So, similar backgrounds. My dad was 47. Your dad was so young. I’m so sorry. Life sometimes is not fair. I just lost my husband this past June. We were together 48 years. I talked with you at that time on Cat and Todd’s show when you took over for a few minutes. I remember you sent us a postcard from Spain. He really liked that. His last name is Aguirre so he has Spanish roots. Keep up the good work!🦁❤

Jordan I had no idea you lost your dad so young...God bless 🙏 you & Jah! Please give him a hug & kiss from me!!! 💖

Jordan. You look so much like your father. Thank you for sharing such a personal trip down memory lane. 🤗

Very interesting Jordan, I love hearing about peoples lives and where they grew up. Sorry though that you had a great deal of sadness at such a young age with your dad.

Enjoyed seeing where you grew up! I live in Tipp City and I do go though Troy for appointments or shop. I love the downtown Troy area our must stop is Grandpa Joe’s that’s a fav with the kids 😄. Thank you for that!! Looking forward to part 2.

Thank you for sharing your personal journey with us. You were a good kid then and a good kid now! And we all love you💖

Loved this one a lot! Can’t wait to see part 2 ❤

Thankyou for sharing your story. It’s fun to go back in the past! Memories are amazing. You poor thing! You had to move a lot when you were young.was nice the places were pretty close to one other! It’s hard to loose our parents so sorry for your dad,he was so young and you also were so little!

Enjoyed your vlog very much! You had a wonderful childhood and you continue to many Angels that are by your side. 💙

Good video Jordan of your hometown of Troy Ohio all the houses you lived in nice town vickie napa ca

Thank you Jordan for sharing parts of your life with us.

Troy is a great town. I was born and raised in Troy and I had paper route 66 that was down behind Ordings in the Southview area where I lived. Traveled the world in the Navy and now live in Piqua, also a great town. Nice video.

You are not alone! Kindercare was the stuff of nightmares in TN. I'm not at all surprised it was horrible in your neck of the woods. I had a waterbed too! Thanks for sharing your memories with us and taking me for a ride in the way back machine!☺️

I'm 54 and grew up in southern Ohio and we always said pass the ball , saying play catch was a old leave it to beaver type of speaking . You're mannerisms is similar to mine and I think it's the reason I always enjoy your content.

Aww thats a really sweet memory with ur grandpa, the paper route on weekends and him buying u breakfast 💗

WOW ! I think this is my fav vlog. So fun walking with you down memory lane. Wishing you only the very best. Nancy

I live in Englewood Ohio. Had no idea you grew up in Troy. I worked inTroy for Simpson Industries from about 1986 to 2002. Then I worked at UVMC in Troy from 2005-2011. Enjoy your videos. I worked with people who worked at Hobart. Small world. Take care.

Hello Jordan, My Dad also bought me a 3 wheeler it was the first Honda 3 wheeler made in 1978 . it was a 70 cc very small but moved up to a 110. i learned very quickly you dont put your foot down while riding, i mastered riding a 3 wheeler my friends had hard times when driving that bad boy. i miss riding . thanks for sharing that Jordan!
