Travel Vlog 325
During our stay, we visited Lambeau Field, home of the NFL's Green Bay Packers. We also saw an incredible old church, "St Francis Xavier Cathedral", as well as a couple of cool lighthouses called the "Grassy Island Range Lights". At the end we had dinner at a local restaurant.
We live in De Pere, 3 miles south of Green Bay. This region is STILL AMERICA! We love it here.
We moved away from WI about 5yrs ago. Turns out...in general, WI has some of the better food/grocery stores in the country. We miss it terribly.
Come back home!!! ❤
That’s how I feel about leaving Ohio. It’s not so shitty anymore when you compare it to most places down south.
Appreciate your authenticity, keep being real
Hey folks! I live just down the street from the stadium... Thanks for visiting our city - glad you enjoyed the fried cheese curds. Next time you come, do try the fresh cheese curds available at most of the local grocery stores, and some gas-stations (supplied by area creameries). The very freshest should squeak when you bite into them! Glad you enjoyed your visit.
I’m calling BS on Sarasota being #5. I live here and it’s becoming unlivable. The amount of people moving here, the horrific traffic, the horrific car accidents and fatalities everyday, many times a day, we’re getting regular shootings now, the summers are hotter with no rain in sight, the aggressive drivers, the speeding, the cost of living, taxes, insurance , the scams including roofing where we are now required to replace our roofs every 15 years regardless of the condition. And the noise pollution, it’s not a quiet little beach town anymore. Nonstop sirens, semi trucks destroying the roads with potholes, horrible infrastructure constant road construction and road closures, I really could keep going. It’s really sad. The developers and commissioners have destroyed this state and it’s only beginning. The quality of life has really decreased. I thought I would be here for the rest of my life but I’m rethinking that. Sad what they’ve done to this state. Pure greed.
I wish all American City would go back being livable like Green Bay 🙏🏼❣️🙏🏽.... Clean, affordable, beautiful ❤️ All the things American's deserve.... Thank you for another wonderful video... Stay safe ❤️
There are a lot of nice cities not this boring icebox.
@chicagomike We found our Bears fan! Yeah, Green Bay is sooo much colder than Chicago. Give it a rest.
815 Elmore St 245k 5bd 2 bath separated into 2 units upper and lower with a basement and huge garage. Interesting place
Just booked my first ever trip From Scotland, yesterday, to see the Packers play, against San Fran and Miami, and lo and behold one of my favourite You tube channels posts a new vlog..from Green bay.. Fantastic stuff and keep up the great vids.
Nice!
Broasted chicken and Spotted Cow. Two of the absolute best things WI has to offer. Do not miss it. *The smaller, and more "Mom and Pop" the place is, the better the chicken.
Head to Door County, if you can.
You're going to love it here!!! ❤
I grew up on the Fox River (Kaukauna) but moved to Minneapolis in the 90's. Today my niece owns a hair salon in Green Bay (she got married in the courthouse, so beautiful). Thanks for visiting. It was fun to look around town with you today.
I love that Lambeau field stadium 🏟 is right in the middle of a residential neighborhood like a high-school stadium.
it was a high school stadium, in the 1960's open end zones still ! etc.
Much like British football( soccer) stadiums from when they started in thr late 19th Century. Houses literally built right up to the gates
@@pstan5899 It's really cool !
@@stewartcarroll304 I love in FA Cup Qualifying when EPL teams draw lower level teams away & you see houses in the background !
It used to look like a high school stadium. What we see now is the result of extensive renovations.
Thank you for your travels around real America. Very engaging style you have. Working from home here in the UK, it feels like I’m walking America with you. Many thanks
Thank you, that's exactly what I'm going for. :)
My aunt lived in Green Bay most of her life & loved it! Cold in the winter tho! Thanks for the tour!
Hey you guys finally made it back to Wisconsin! Welcome! OH and don't forget we're also known for Kringle, Brats and Sausages!
and cream puffs. And frozen custard. And beer battered cheese curds
Great narration. Thank you.
Awesome……have been waiting for your next installment! Now let’s watch!
Can't believe it's so green for so early in spring.
It's GREEN Bay it's green dee year round.
Nic's meal was a perfect healthy meal, yours Joewould send my blood sugar thru the roof. Greenbay is a very clean city, and 66º is wonderful compared to the 89º feels like 99º here in East Texas.
Very interesting, thankˋs for taking us with you both. Best wishes from Cologne. 🤘😎🎸
Hi Joe and Nicole, I love your unique channel, both of you are genuine in a crazy world. Joe's voice is soothing and Nic is sweet and gorgeous. These vids make my day better! Greenbay is simply beautiful and I love enjoying the old Churches and dining with you. In your future travels, I think you and your audience would love to visit the Door County peninsula of Wisconsin; one of the prettiest places I've vacationed at. The fam and I have a fave town there called Fish Creek...this place is so picturesque, like a postcard; you two would love it. Thanx for this video and all your great work! Peace and love
Thank you!
What a beautiful place and so much history! Wow! I’d live there if I could.
Thank you for sharing Joey & Nic ❤
Thanks!!
Oh wow I love this city! Didn’t know Green Bay was so nice. Thanks for exploring it!! 😊😊😊
nice walkabout of Green bay. excellent camera work.
What a fantastic city to visit and what a nice meal you both had. Green Bay is definitely a city I would visit. Loved the football history.
Thank you for your tours of interesting places!!!😊
I really enjoyed this video ! A lovely city, with a very interesting history ! I love the old theatre, and the church is beautiful ! Thank you so much, Joe and Nic.😊💖
We're glad you're here, CL!!
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip Your videos are always awesome ! Thanks, Joe and Nic.🥰
Really enjoyable, thank you.
Great weather, fun time!
GREETINGS MY BROTHER, AND THANKS ❤
Glad to see all the trees in the neighborhoods. Looks like a lovely town 😊
Love that Joe is a traveler and not a tourist and eats what the locals eat. 😊 thanks for the fantastic content.
Similar to Cedar Rapids, beautiful cities, great looking weather but no-one outside enjoying it, kind of puzzling, still as usual a very well done video.
I went up there in the 70s to visy my mother and stepdad and got a job working in the canneries for the fall.👍it's change .a lot cleaner and rebuild a beautiful city.a lot to offer.greenbay is great 👍.
We live in a great area in Wisconsin. Just a beautiful outdoors experience no matter what time of year.
They also have a fantastic railroad museum. Visited there a couple years ago and it was fantastic
When I was stationed at the Naval Training Center in Waukegan, IL I spent a long weekend in Green Bay. We could not buy a drink in town because the people were so grateful to treat military personnel to free drinks.
Interesting to see your videos, much more understanding about your country! Have a good journey!!! My regards from South Vietnam!!!
Thanks! 😃
I am a regular watcher..your presentations have grown to become excellent! Keep up your great work. Keep safe in your travels!😮
Thank you!!
WOW!! I felt like I was riding through a storybook of dream towns! I love the entire town. It's so pretty and spotless. Their products are home staples - no fly-by-nights that are here today and gone tomorrow! The home is another duplex, $244,000. Joe, your meal looked scrumptious!!! Thanks.
Thanks!
Wonderful photography!
Looks stunning!
I live for when you & Nicole end the video at a restaurant. Love seeing what you guys ordered.
😊 thank you
I did the stadium tour there 3 years ago. Very cool. Wish I would have seen more of the town.
Nasty Winter Climate!
I lived on the lakeshore about 45 minutes from there and we lasted a few years and moved back down south. It was rough.
Let's not mention that!
It ain't that bad..
@@dawntatu3446 Please tell your residents that they need NOT come to AZ every winter.
@@SmittyAZ lol! Sorry. We can't control our older population, they wander freely.
❤❤😂😂😂always delighted to watch the videos..we get to tour america though we might never come there ..we are grateful🎉🎉🎉❤❤joe and nic..keep up
We will! :)
Love your videos!
Go Pack Go. My first Packer game I saw at Lambeau was in 1965 against the Bears.
Joe and Nic,
That "Town" has good vibes!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
It definitely does, Rik!
Wow that was fun! Thanx u guys! What an awesome town. Nicole I loved ur choice 4 dinner and my husband, well he would of ordered what Joe had 4 sure! All that grub and a low tab! Thanx again. B safe.
Thank you!
Due to some physical limitations and my age, I sometimes am forced to rest more than I would like to. Long story short, I watch a lot of CZcams videos and I just want you guys to know that ur one of my favorites ❤️
Awesome! We're glad you're here.
Welcome to our state!
Very nice video on Green Bay. I learned a lot of interesting facts I didn’t know. I’ve lived in WI for 17 years. From Illinois originally. I’m glad you enjoyed the cheese curds. They are delicious. Great to see the architecture, homes and learn about the packers. Look forward to Iowa!
Thank you for the great comment as usual,, Alexandra!
Hey Joe, the bratwurst, sauerkraut and potatoes you chose looks great.... and the beer has a wonderful color! Cheers!
They were all EXCELLENT!
love to see your videos always .
since you always tells the stories behind and entertain us .moreover i learn more english words such as splinters this time .splinters in the butts 😂.
i saw somedays ago a very long video of wisconson and i already fall in love with that part of america .although i love every part america .since i love the song of hotel california .
i see you now as my family member .so i wanna know about you and family as well .but publically i cant ask u questions related to your family .although i want to know about u as well as u are my celebrity now .i hope u understand what mean to say .
but all i wanna say i respect u alot .i care for you ❤.
The Brat and Curds was the correct choice! 👍
thx, nice job, i live in bay View south of downtown Milwaukee, been all over the state
Ice Cream during the summer months and almost as intoxicating too 🎂🍒❤️
Great...I finally got to visit Green Bay :)
Smell our derrière/dairy air also works on a 3rd level considering it's the French derivied term and the town was originally a French settlement they called "bay of stinky waters" like you mentioned. Its the perfect triple meaning play on words
What a perfect little town, would love to go to a Packers game at Lambeau Feld!
Love Nicole’s hair color
You should have gone downriver about 30 miles to Appleton. Smaller city but nicer and more vibrant. There is nice college campus right next to downtown. While the city is very nice the best thing is the people and I’m not from there.
Thanks guys for the ride along. I have to be honest probly not my favorite parts of the country as I’m definitely an old southwest boy. That being said I truly enjoyed this video more than I expected. Thanks for taking me somewhere I most likely wouldn’t have taken myself. And don’t get me wrong there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the place at all. Actually quite beautiful. A I’m sure even much more out in the country side and farm country. Really clean looking city and great looking neighborhoods. And also have to admit I really love everything it’s famous for even though I’m not much of a ball fan I can appreciate anyone who is. But yep cheese, beer toilet paper most definitely tops my list too. LoL love the play on words with the smell our dairy air. LoL never heard that one really liked it. LoL 😂. And the food it’s hard to go wrong with a brat and good mustard and a beer. LoL thanks for the ride along appreciate it. Safe travels my friend, keep filming and I’ll keep watching.
Thank you for the kind words. :)
Hello from Florida, we are heading up that way in July to explore Door County, and Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We look forward to the trip.
I love Green Bay! Home of my grandfather!
Green Bay has to be the most all American town there is.
Pretty close. :)
Thanks Joe & Nic for your amazing road trips and showing us the lesser known, but interesting parts of America. You should be funded by the American Tourist Board (if there is one) as I'm sure you've helped to improve both domestic and international tourism in the United States. Keep those videos coming and please continue to visit obscure towns/villages in every state. 🤗
It’s beautiful
The Green Bay Packers are not just in the smallest city for NFL teams but also all the big professional sports leagues including MLB, NHL and NBA.
Green Bay has no teams in MLB, the NBA nor the NHL so your facts are irrelevant except for the NFL..
🙄@@ScubaSteveCanada
@@ScubaSteveCanadahow exactly? The commenter is stating that Green Bay is the smallest city with a major league sports team among the big 4 sports. There’s nothing incorrect or irrelevant about that.
@@jstoli996c4s That is exactly all I am stating. Green Bay is the smallest population city hosting any major professional sports team. I believe Milwaukee is the smallest area for a baseball team and SLC Utah for a basketball team.
Thanks!
If all my teachers were as interesting as you, I might have a PHD by now.
LOL, thanks!
the home at 815 elmore is listed for $244,999.00
Nice town
The Packers have the most titles in NFL history, but they’re also older than everyone else with the exception of the Bears.
I was in Wisconsin a couple years ago, but further south. I did some hiking on the Ice Age Trail and went to Devil’s Lake and Wisconsin Dells. Yet another pretty state
Love the Channel my wife and I are regular viewers . We want to fly to US from NZ hire a car and explore a city . Green Bay has just made its way on to the short list thanks to your excellent vid.
Its a beautiful city i need to visit someday (I do spend more than a little time in Kenosha Wisconsin kind of the second home for my musical endeavors outside of Chicago). Green Bay looks amazing, I probably wanted to order the food right between the two of you they like cheese curds I like the french fries I love salmon and salads, you two do a great job here
Thank you!
I too try to do everything like a local wherever I travel. Had poutine in Canada for example
Green Bay is certainly different than its neighbor to the south Chicago , Happy Trails !
👍Sidewalks so clean you could eat your dinner off of them. Something you wouldn't want to be doing in Portsmouth, England, btw👍
No they are not he showing you the nice part of Green Bay hahaha
Another very nice video. I get the toilet based pun. Greenbay is not as impressive as Minnesota but still very nice. It might be livable but I think the poverty is too high to declare it a top city. Probably because of it's small size it is more commutable, unlike most major American cities. The cheese curds did look good and the Brat was very nice. You need to come to New Braunfels TX for Wurstfest in the fall. They import the Wursts from Munich and that is when I get my Wurst fix every year. I spent time in Bavaria (Army) and I know what a good Brat should taste like. Yours looked mighty fine! Just the way I like it (mit brochen!). Oh if you didn't know German almost became the official language of Texas. A version is still spoken around these parts in the Hill Country. Iowa next so it looks like you are closing the loop. Thanks for the entertaining vids. I didn't know the history of Northern Tissue until your video. I always come away with something new. Thank You!
p.s. Northerners must not like cats! Where are they?
I haven't seen a single cat in that area. It's a bit eerie...:)
Hi Joe
Thanks for this nice video. You selected a good time to travel in this belt. Most of these states must be frozen in winter. I read somewhere that there are more cows in WI than human population, no doubt cheese is in abundance.
Best luck for travel ahead!
Thanks!
Quilted Northern ❤❤
Great place to visit, but too cold for most of the year.
The “smell our dairy air” slogan also has a third meaning when you consider the name the French initially gave the city as well
Thanks
Thank you!
Winter 🥶 is rough very cold .
i am so glad there are no more splinters in toilet paper, thanks to Green Bay! Nice video!
love that you try the local cuisine, and your information about the town is amazing.
Beer and cheese; i like this place already!
Please let me know if you are in Green Bay and would like a private tour of the Grassy Island Range Lights . I am an official lighthouse Keeper.
Wow, I'll remember that next time I'm there. I would like to get a closer look at them!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing! I don't think you mentioned median home prices, but the one you looked at is for sale for $245K with 5bedrooms and 2bathrooms. I'll have to watch again with my husband who grew up in Green Bay. Maybe you passed by his house. (?) I had a good laugh at the Dairy Air comment, asked him if "Cheese curds" were a thing (he said yes).
Adding to say the hubs and I watched it together. He muttered several times, most of which was in agreement. He did point out to me that the sidewalks have a huge verge between them and the street in the neighborhoods. Apparently, this was where all the snow plows piled up the snow - above 6' tall by January!
Awesome! :)
Ya coulda went to Krolls across the street from Lambeau and had a butter burger
I think there's a Culver's near Mckinney TX That's all wisconsin style food, including cheese curds. Order the kid's meal and the bag has a coupon for a free ice cream/custard on your next visit. I hope you got a look at the state prison that's some cool architecture.
You can use the coupon on the kid's meal bag on your current visit. Your receipt has an online survey you can take and if you do you then get a free custard on your next visit.
Damn those cheese curds looked so good. I'd order a kilo if them if I could.
Great video! Green Bay is a wonderful city; small wonder it has been named Most Livable City! I have lived in Wisconsin for 20 years, and it is by far my favorite Midwestern state. (I am just NE of Madison in a small town that folks from Madison pass by on their way to Lambeau Field.) The Packers are a religion of sorts. There are Packers fans all over the US and all over the world. (BTW, you posted the date of "March 15, 2024" but I am sure you meant "May 15, 2024." ) You said you are on your way to Iowa, and I hope you and Nic missed the tornadoes that have hit them today (May 21). Also BTW, great job on your pronunciation of "Beaux Arts!" Today you got to see "LamBEAUX Arts!" (LOL)
Thank you, and yes, I saw the dumb mistake I made on the date. I have edited it out. :(
La baie des Puants. Thank you for another nice and informative video sir.
Haven’t been to Wisconsin in a while, must put this on my list. Dang my list is getting big lol. Green Bay looks like a nice city.
It’s an okay city it’s really not that great.
I just love bratwurst. They are very popular here in Minnesota too
Nicole, small grape tomatoes are delicious when you bite down on a whole one and it bursts in your mouth.
Hi guys love the cheese curds one of my favorites your brat needs Sour kraft we eat them in Dubuque to
Sauerkraut sorry
Green Bay is part of a larger metro area that includes the Fox Cities to the south on I-45. About 750,000 population total. When I visited several years ago, I was disappointed in downtown Green Bay … it is pretty dead even during summer/fall tourist season. Also, the city could better develop access to the bay and recreational use of the river. Still, it is a pleasant area to visit, especially Door County to the northeast.
Door County is beautiful.
Not sure what part of Iowa you're going to but y'all should visit Mason City. Home of Frank Lloyd Wright and his last standing Hotel. The historic park inn. Stay at my Holiday Inn and have a cinnamon roll too.
