Video

Thats nice! I would like to see the rooms inside and out so I know the layout of everything.

Great Video!!!! ❤

Really annoys me that it took so long to get a new high school built in Ashtabula. Would have been nice if myself and the rest of the Class of '97 had been able to go to a shiny new school like Lakeside, instead of a decaying, rotting dump like AHS and Harbor.

dumbest. humans. on. earth.

I wonder why they don't just leave old smokestacks standing, instead of going to all the trouble of knocking them down ?

These are the kinds of videos that keep OSHA awake at night

This is how you commit moronasise

Fools

I guess Math was not a subject they studied in School

Just because your wearing a hard hat will not protect from the silo falling on you

I'm so glad someone took the time to record the history here! My grandmother was adopted by a wealthy family in Ashtabula and I always suspected she was Finnish.

Contrary to what was stated here, 1965 was NOT the time of the Kent riot. That was in May of 1970.

They sure knew how to build chimneys back in the day. And this one was made out of bricks. There's hardly any dust compared to a concrete chimney takedown.

When you watch a few CZcams videos and think... 'Yeah, I can do that!?'....... Then realise actually, you cant!

Amateur level

Fred Dibnah is King

Fred Dibnah is turning in his grave. This is almost 'Darwin award' worthy.

Fred would be turning in his Grave, knowing this was going on, Amateurs

Lowest bid contractor.

Beautiful!

Fred Dibnah they ain't.....

Intriguing! This video really draws you in, and invites you in on the journey. How wonderful to have learned the fascinating details of your ancestors.

I got to live in Moundsville for a year when I was 15 years old. I still have family in town and life long friends there. I miss that place.

Reminds me of the old Swiss proverb "Silly people always lucky". These guys just proved it.

I really hope that pair of idiots weren't paid for that feck up.

Great place... Been going to Eddie's grill since I waa a little kid

The only surprise is nobody died

It is a cool place but the food is really bad.

I have two issues with this video. 1. The Kent State shootings didn't happen until five years after this incident. May 4th 1970. Someones memory seems to be a bit foggy. 2. One must ask who the real criminals are in this scenario? Seems to me these two under cover cops and this councilman needed to be brought up on charges of conspiracy to incite a riot and conspiracy to commit insurance fraud. But hey, at least they got a good chuckle out of it. A**Holes!

Fred would be laughing his b...ks off 😂😂😂

Very nice 👍. As a handicapped proud wva native. Thank you

This guy was one of the best substitute teachers

Clark Brocht does a phenomenal job at preserving this Civil War era church and this particular service was amazing to attend. The decorations on the evergreen and singing of Christmas carols, as well as the attendees in their Civil War attire, made this Christmas church service very special.

Bealtiful ❤

This is where my Nichols ancestors grew up in Monroe County. If the walls could talk in that mill I bet one of my ancestors bought some kind of grain from that mill in the 100 years. I sure wish I could visit this mill to say that I walked the same floors as my ancestors.

That’s old school burning out temporary props when felling a chimney. Notch needs to be well past halfway. These days you could just cable pull the temporary props out with a machine. Also pull the chimney with another long cable up as high as you could attach it. Timber!!!😂

At least you’re keeping it in the family of the Reed’s my ancestors

Wow! I never thought I would see that again. That was the last main landmark I remember seeing when my mum drove us (five children) to Pennsylvania. I recall a splash of neon orange around the eyes and mouth and lit torches if I am correct? Anyone?

Such talent and creativity!

3:54 LOL!

if your able to hit the supports out then they are not taking the load...

Ashtabula, what a town.

So glad I stumbled across this documentary. My Papa Salmen lived and worked very hard in the harbor down the coal docks and always talked about the saunas. He was the essence of Sisu. I grew up in the harbor and we had Hil Mak very often. Watching the video was so bittersweet. My Gram was Hungarian but learned how to make Finnish dishes. I can still remember the wonderful smell of her baking Nissua bread. It's tricky to make she tried teaching me once. Let's just say I was better at watching her and testing them out.

Wonderful stories, Carl. Our area was blessed to have you document the stories of our county. Miss you

Anyone can tear one down. Try building one.

Nothing on the main man dibnah

Being from Ashtabula, this story was very informative and sweet at the same time. My dad was raised in Swede town & spoke highly of all the hard working ethnic folks that came there for a better life.

Great documentary! My grandparents all lived in Ashtabula as well as my parents. Anna Lundi the Titanic survivor was my maternal grandmother and Pastor Harju was my paternal grandfather, both of whom you mentioned. I still make Nisua (“always use whole cardamom seeds and crush them well” my Mom used to say). Thanks for making and posting!

Lol, Fred would have laughed at these .
