More information about the video content bellow:
1. The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle in present-day Delaware in the middle region by establishing a trading post at Zwaanendael, near the site of Lewes in 1631. Within a year all the settlers were killed in a dispute with area Native American tribes. In 1638 New Sweden, a Swedish trading post and colony, was established, which lasted for 17 years, until the Dutch came back and reconquered the area. But just 9 years later they were conquered by a fleet of English ships, under the direction of James, Duke of York. Delaware was one of the 13 colonies participating in the American Revolution. On December 7, 1787, Delaware became the first state to ratify the Constitution of the United States, and has since promoted itself as The First State.
2. Delaware is the second-smallest state in the country. It stretches just under 100 miles long, and is only 35 miles at its widest point. With fewer than one million residents and a total area not much larger than Anchorage, Alaska, the state of Delaware is naturally at a bit of a disadvantage when it comes the rest of the country's appreciation for it. Despite being the second-smallest state, Delaware is also the sixth most densely populated state in America.
3. In the 1820s the DuPont family (probably best known as being allied to the General Motors Company during the 1930s) established a gunpowder mill on the banks of Brandywine River in Wilmington. Over time, the family turned into the largest producer of gunpowder in the world. Even now, the family are responsible for 5-10% of the total employment of the population of Delaware.
4. The log cabin originated in Finland. Finnish settlers arrived in Delaware in the mid-1600s and brought with them plans for the log cabin, one of the enduring symbols of the American pioneer. One of the cabins has been preserved and is on display at the Delaware Agricultural Museum in Dover.
5. Tradition holds the first time Betsy Ross's famous flag was flown was at the Battle of Cooch's Bridge. This historic site is located on route 4 in Newark.
6. Thomas Garret lost his entire fortune in his battle against slavery. He was sued by a Maryland slave owner and fined for aiding a black family in flight. Over his lifetime, Garrett reportedly helped more than 2,000 fugitive slaves move through Delaware, an important stop on the Underground Railroad.
7. Dover is the capital and second-largest city in the U.S. state of Delaware. It is also the county seat of Kent County. It is located on the St. Jones River in the Delaware River coastal plain. It was named by William Penn of Dover in Kent, England. As of 2010, the city had a population of 36,047.

Bridgeport, Connecticut: Downtown Driving Tour (August, 2019)
A late Saturday afternoon driving tour of downtown Bridgeport, Connecticut in August, 2019. The police presence seen in the video is simply to close streets for a festival (Caribbean Jerk Fest) and not for any mass crime investigation!
Bridgeport was incorporated as a town in 1821 and as a city in 1836. The current population is around 145,000, making in the most populous city in the state and the fifth most populous in New England. The metro population is 940,000.
Bridgeport is located in Fairfield, County where the Pequonnock River empties into Long Island Sound. The city is just 60 miles from Manhattan.
The first Subway restaurant opened here in 1965. This is also the historic home of famous circus man P.T. Barnum. Starting on the right at 4:12 in the video, we get a really good look at the Barnum Museum.
The Barnum Museum building was completed in 1893 and was placed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The museum houses an extension archive collection of P.T. Barnum and the history of the city.
The video ends at the Webster Bank Arena. This venue opened in 2001 and houses the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the American Hockey League (AHL affiliate of the New York Islanders). This arena seats 8,412 for hockey.

USA Vlog 3- Lehigh Valley Grand Prix, Trail Rides, NYC, Baseball, & Nemours Mansion & Gardens
This one includes a lot of day-trips, covering the three states of PA, NY, and DE! First, we went go-carting with my father in Allentown, PA at the Lehigh Valley Grand Prix. It was only a short race, but the most exciting 8 minutes I've had in a long time! (Thanks Dad!) After a brief instructional video, we were racing in the indoor track and sliding around turns, having a blast!
At :24 on the video, you can see the horses we rode at Jacobsburg State Park. My mother joined us for the hour-long ride, which included a creek crossing. I was not allowed to take video for safety reasons, which was totally understandable.
0:49- We hit New York City's 5th Avenue, Times Square, and the Chelsea District. We got to the golf range on Pier 59 and hit 140 balls to get ready for a golf outing scheduled later in the vacation.
Not shown on this video, we attended Sleep No More. I suggest that you Google that because it was nothing I had ever experienced before. Basically, it was an interactive play where the audience follows actors around a multi-floor set, designed to look like a 1930s era hotel. Wow, that was freaky!
1:33 we caught an Iron Pigs baseball game. They are a minor league team associated with the Philadelphia Phillies. We enjoyed the mascots and all the action between the innings! The organizers really know how to keep baseball interesting. It was actually an exciting game too!
2:29- On a two-hour drive south to Wilmington DE, we stopped at Nemours, a 77-room Mansion and Gardens (Dupont Family), as well as Winterthur, a nearby estate, which is now a museum with extensive grounds to tour.
4:48- Allentown, PA as seen from the top of the former Hess's Department Store Parking Deck. We had lunch on that day at Sugar Hill, a new restaurant featuring jazz. (There is a nearby organic store too!) It is just a block from the newly revitalized Hamilton Street within walking distance of the PPL Center.
5:57 Lastly, we picked up my Lehigh Valley VIA Marathon bib number and swag bag at the Steel Stacks in Bethlehem. We walked part of the new Skywalk which showed the steel-making process of Bethlehem Steel's blast furnaces.
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for Vlog #4! Please like and subscribe for more videos about running and gardening, as well as my adventures in Asia and the USA!

Haunted House? Hunting for Ghosts in America's Oldest Home
Something odd was captured when we joined a Boston paranormal investigator inside the Fairbanks House in Dedham, Massachusetts.
It is the oldest wooden structure in America and plenty of people have reported ghostly experiences. Did the investigators capture the image ghost from the past, an entity or something else...

Manchester, New Hampshire Community Video Tour
- Manchester is the largest city in New Hampshire. The city of almost 110,000 residents is divided by The Merrimack River and is the financial, political and cultural center for the state. In 2009 CNNMoney.com rated Manchester 13th in a list of the 100 best cities to live and launch a business in the United States.
One of the architectural highlights of Manchester are its historic red brick mills, many of which have been renovated for other uses. The Amoskeag Manufacturing Company was a textile manufacturer which founded Manchester, New Hampshire. From modest beginnings in near wilderness, it grew throughout the 19th century into the largest cotton textile plant in the world. At its peak, Amoskeag was unrivaled both for the quality and quantity of its products. But with great size came an inability to adapt. In the early 20th century, the business failed in changing economic and social conditions. Segway, the University of New Hampshire and other software and high tech companies occupy the restored buildings. Restaurants and loft apartments are also prominent. Manchester's 19th century affluence left behind some of the finest Victorian commercial, municipal and residential architecture in the state of New Hampshire.
Manchester's many cultural landmarks include the historic Palace Theatre, the Currier Museum of Art, the New Hampshire Institute of Art, the Franco-American Center, the Manchester Historic Association, Millyard Museum, the Massabesic Audubon Center, the Amoskeag Fishways Learning Center, and the SEE Science Center. The Verizon Wireless Arena, opened in 2001, hosts a variety of sporting and entertainment events, including hockey and football games, rock concerts and fairs. The New Hampshire Fisher Cats and the Northeast Delta Dental Stadium are located right downtown.
Housing in Manchester ranges from Historic North End Mansions to chic condominiums to funky loft apartments, and everything in between.
Thousands of children and adults have enjoyed skiing and snowboarding at the McIntyre Ski for decades.
Manchester is located between Nashua and Concord and is at the crossroads of all the major highways in New Hampshire. The Manchester•Boston Regional Airport (MHT) is one of the fastest growing airports in the country and services consumers in four states.
