TAYLOR TADPOLES
An Imperfect Family in a Spectacular World!
ABOUT US:
We started Taylor Tadpoles after we first got married. The reason we chose the name Taylor Tadpoles is because we wanted the blogs and vlogs to be about our family, the Taylor's. We went through tons of different ideas for the next part: Taylor Tribune, Taylor Tigers, Taylor Tales, Taylor Trials, etc... But we landed on Tadpoles because we were brand new in the whole married/family arena. We felt like we had so much room to grow and learn and we still feel like that.
Literally, we have 6 years worth of footage that has yet to be archived and documented. We are living in the present now and continually updating our channel to include stuff that is going on in our family right now.
But from time to time we may throw in a flashback to show you where we came from.
We also love to make little movies and will include skits and fun times that we have. We know our family is nothing special. We're not going to try and portray ourselves as the perfect family. We just want a way to record the fun times and preserve the memories for our family.
ABOUT OUR FAMILY FRIENDLY CHANNEL:
Taylor Tadpoles is our way to share our lives and memories with our friends, family and future generations. We love to make family friendly videos. Some of the videos will be family skits. Occasionally we may post a blog or highlights of the month or year.
Our videos will almost always be goofy or weird, because let's face it, the subject matter is our goofy, weird family. We can't help but be ourselves because, that's just who we are. So, if you are up for watching a genuine family, subscribe to our channel and feel free to be silly with us.

Mango Maddy in the Windy City
ilovemangomaddy.com patreon.com/mangomaddy cocoscope.com/MangoMaddy
Hello and Welcome to Mango Maddy,
Today I am going to explore Chicago.
Chicago is among the largest cities in the U.S. It sits on Lake Michigan in the state of Illinois. It is famous for its skyscraper buildings like the Willis Tower and John Hancock Center. Chicago is called the “windy city” because of the wind that blows off Lake Michigan through the city.
Moma Giordano lived in a little town near Torino Italy. She was a well know cook, and one of her most beloved recipes was her Italian Easter Pie. When the family migrated to the United States, they brought the recipe with them and in 1974, they opened their first restaurant. Giordano’s is considered one of the best stuffed pizza’s in Chicago. They have over 40+ locations around the nation, but most of them are in Chicago.
The Cloud Gate sculpture is also known as ‘the Bean,’ is one of the top things to see in Chicago.

A Walk Down State Street, Madison, Wisconsin, Sans Music
State Street is a pedestrian zone located in downtown Madison, Wisconsin, United States, near the Wisconsin State Capitol. The road proper extends from the west corner of land comprising the Capitol (at the corners of Carroll and Mifflin Streets) westward to Lake Street, adjoining the campus of the University of Wisconsin–Madison at Library Mall.
The street was a conventional four-lane undivided road until 1974, when a proposal was passed by the City of Madison to turn it into a pedestrian mall. Construction on that project began in late June, 1974, with an initial estimated completion budget of $15 million. This conversion left the street as a two-lane limited-access road, with extra-wide sidewalks created on both sides of the now-narrower street. The east–west road allows only city buses, fire apparatus, police cars, bicycles, delivery vehicles, and pedestrian traffic.
Today, the street hosts a variety of shops, bars, and restaurants and is popular for its small-town appeal, street musicians, jugglers and other types of busking, making it a common tourist attraction. Like high-pedestrian-traffic streets in many cities' downtowns, it also has a noticeable homeless, vagrant, and panhandler population. Places of interest on State Street are the Overture Center for the Arts and the Memorial Library Mall.

Remembering Carson Pirie Scott, Bruno Sammartino, Verne Troyer, Carl Kasell, Art Bell, Nabi Tajima
Another Closeout
A RETAIL DEATH, THE WRESTLER, THE PRIDE OF CENTREVILLE, THE NPR VOICE, THEY’RE OUT THERE, THE 19TH CENTURY SURVIVOR
Carson Pirie Scott was the venerable Midwestern department store that was a mainstay on Chicago’s State Street for over a century. Bruno Sammartino was perhaps the best-known professional wrestler of his time and a world champion for over ten years. Verne Troyer was the diminutive actor who was Mike Meyers’s double as Mini-Me in the Austin Powers series. Carl Kasell was the mellifluous NPR news anchor and co-anchor of the popular radio show, Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me. Art Bell was the late-night radio call-in host who specialized in the mysterious and paranormal. Nabi Tajima was the oldest surviving person in the world, the last person to be born in the 19th Century.
Carson's (formerly Carson Pirie Scott and Co.) is an American chain of department stores located primarily in the Midwestern United States, with over 50 stores under the nameplate.
The Carson Pirie Scott name is strongly associated with the historic Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company Building designed by Louis Sullivan, built in 1899 for the retail firm Schlesinger & Mayer, and expanded and sold to Carson Pirie Scott in 1904.
The chain began in 1854 when Scotsmen Samuel Carson and John Pirie first clerked in the Murray's dry goods store in Peru, Illinois - then opened their own store in LaSalle followed by one in Amboy. In 1871, the Great Chicago Fire destroyed 60% of the store's stock. In 1961, Carson Pirie Scott & Co. greatly expanded in Illinois by purchasing the 20 unit Block & Kuhl chain headquartered in Peoria.
John Edwin Scott operated a dry goods store in Ottawa, Illinois. He later moved up to Chicago and became the first partner of Samuel Carson and John T. Pirie in the ownership of a dry goods store, well known today as Carson Pirie Scott & Co. Two of John Scott's sons, Robert L. and Frederick H., were members of the department store firm.
Bruno Sammartino[1] (October 6, 1935 – April 18, 2018) was an Italian-born American professional wrestler, best known for his work with the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF, now WWE). There, he held the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship (WWWF Heavyweight Championship during his second reign) for more than 11 years (4,040 days) across two reigns, the first of which is the longest single reign in the promotion's history at 2,803 days. Dubbed The Living Legend during his lifetime,[6] Sammartino is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time
Verne Jay Troyer (January 1, 1969 – April 21, 2018) was an American actor, comedian, and stunt performer best known for playing Mini-Me in the Austin Powers film series. He was notable for having been only 2 ft 8 in (81 cm) tall, the result of cartilage–hair hypoplasia;[1][2] this made him one of the shortest men in the world.
Troyer was born in Sturgis, Michigan, the son of Susan, a factory worker, and Reuben Troyer, a repair technician.[3] He had two siblings, Davon and Deborah. He stated that his parents never treated me any different than my other average-sized siblings. I used to have to carry wood, feed the cows and pigs and farm animals.[4] Troyer was initially raised Amish, but his parents left the faith when he was a child.[5] During his childhood, Troyer spent much time visiting Amish relatives[6] in Centreville, Michigan. He graduated from Centreville High School in 1987 and a plaque was dedicated to him in 2003
Carl Ray Kasell (/ˈkæsəl/; April 2, 1934 – April 17, 2018) was an American radio personality. He was best known as a newscaster for National Public Radio, and later as the official judge and scorekeeper of the weekly news quiz show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! until his retirement in 2014.
Arthur William Bell III (June 17, 1945 – April 13, 2018) was an American broadcaster and author. He was the founder and the original host of the paranormal-themed radio program Coast to Coast AM, which is syndicated on hundreds of radio stations in the United States and Canada.[4] He also created and hosted its companion show Dreamland.
Nabi Tajima (田島 ナビ Tajima Nabi, 4 August 1900 – 21 April 2018)[1][2][3] was a Japanese supercentenarian,[4] who was the last living person certified to have been born in the nineteenth century and the world's oldest living person from 15 September 2017, until her own death. She remains the oldest recorded Japanese and Asian person in history and the world's third oldest person ever to be validated by modern standards, behind Jeanne Calment and Sarah Knauss.
