Lowell, MA: The Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution

[Imprezziveness]

These guys are definitely not from around here.

[xxxrollingrockxxx2]

im from lowell and i jsut realized how much of a shithole the place really is well was in 2007 its changed the crime rates gone down there knocking down all the deadly hobo filled mills and cleaning up all the trash n shit floating in our beautiful river

[Boppness]

Lowell people are hard working, and disciplined. We hold our home close to our hearts, and resent the snide cynical remarks made by the kid who created this...

[ccryan75]

5:36: pawT- Tucket? No way your from Lowell...or even from MA (West of Worcester doesn't count)

[ccryan75]

It's easy to make fun of Lowell because the city tries SO HARD to attract tourists!

When your from Lowell (and make it up and/or out), you take pride in being from there. but let's face it, Lawrence and few north shore cities are far worse. But they keep off the radar.

[Olebrucanism]

In 50 Years Lowell's name will be "New Cambodia" ^^ I love Lowell, and I love Cambodians as well! ^^

[mrvirginiabeach]

Funny guy

[stipd152132]

I watched a movie about two fighters brothers, in this movie the name of the city is Lowell, comic and tragic based at the relation between family and crack addict.

Here in Brazil, crack is a tragedy, destroying families and dreams. very sad.



[tborda11]

were you roommates with Joe Kimball?

Lowell is as good a city as any and better than most. Take out the crap he put in there and enjoy the rest. It's better now than in 07 and getting better every day.

[gschinadoll]

[tborda11]

This makes me sad, since I'm moving there. Any advice for newcomers?

[Max6851]

are you already in MA? I've just moved out of MA and into Kansas

[jstets1978]

@EmpoweredOfficial both armpits on the same level thats the common argument made by people who live in white trash dumps any washed up factory city is usually disgusting wouldnt live anywhere where all of my neighbors were not white and didnt own a single family home and work for a living

[redorange96]

Young lads who made this garbage would not survive a day living in Lowell. Funny? eh, Fail. Garbage and misleading

[Happyskateboarding]

I go to Umass Lowell for premed, and it's a great school. I was originally a chem engineer, but i switched. I know a lot of engineers here and the engineering program here is excellent and respected a lot. I find the downtown area beautiful, along with certain other areas like the river and such. This video was well done and funny, but hopefully it wont deter people from coming here. I did a video on the downtown area and the mills, check it out on my channel.

[joshlc2003]

Very funny. Good narration. Lowell is my hometown and this was enjoyable. 1/8th of a mile. Hah! So true.

[hillarion]

Dude(s), that was hilarious -- thanks man. Used to live in Lowell so can appreciate the sarcasm.

[sonnyrock5]

I just saw "The Fighter" and am interested in Lowell, MA. Your video is pretty funny, but, I don't know if I'm now more educated on Lowell?

[alaincharnier1971]

good for a chuckle. I'm glad the American Textile History museum is finally getting the recognition it deserves, 'oh the wonder of textile history! Come here and see the massive waste of taxpayer dollars 

[MrsGogo]

I thought this was a riot! A good tongue-in-cheek observation of Lowell, which has become such a pit it isn't funny, but it's funny how they try to get people to visit it. The only thing they left out of the video is all the shootings and the crack heads but hey, you can't get everything in there right? there's just soooo much to like about Lowell, lol.

[1225801]

i lv lowell i missing.... but the only think i miss from lowell is the nice ass latinas and asians omg how i missing their fat but nice ass.....

[imassage1212]

true stuff !!!!

[yootchmyster]

@L1LxDanGeRouS1x978 I agree, I live in Lowell, and I love it here, I love downtown, upper highlands, pawtucketville, and balverde. I'm not gonna this is such a horrible video to describe Lowell =(

[oneill2123]

Fuck you faggot, you forgot to mention how good the highschool sports are you idiot, and how Micky ward came out of Lowell

[Boppness]

@oneill2123

fuck yeah, guy. Micky Ward, Bette Davis. Alot of American greats. This video is garbage...

[RedMassGroupBlog]

#FAIL

[jamesaresvik]

unfunny..im not even from mass

[xlaborriex]

LOL @ the spray painted dick on the wall.

[slicingwater]

The Birth Place of the industrial revolution as well as the death bed of American industry.

[Chubbyo678]

this is hilarious !

[TheFutureLooksGrimm]

You could have made this much better. You should have showed all the shopping carts, mopeds, stuff dumped in the river then all the crackheads and heroin addicts waiting around to rip people off.

This video was supposed to be sarcastic but it only seems mildly sarcastic. Mostly serious sounding.

The vocal narration is too low and the music competes with it, making it difficult to hear what's being said.

[colins27]

the merrimack river is ballsy!!!!!!!!

[mikeb01904]

People who usually make fun of cities like lowell are people from cul de sac ridden suburbs that had two non-white kids in their high school...typical reaction of someone who is unfamiliar with urban areas of the country

[MrRuigni]

Yea for real. I dont like suburbanite douchebags. They are whats wrong with the world.

[Blu88e]

damn lowell is ugly.

[cullyvan]

then i guess youve never been to lawrence :P

[Blu88e]

lol i know i've been to lawrence and its awful. reminds me of the warrior movie.

[DriveNstroll]

Funny ass video here.

[DriveNstroll]

[jstets1978]

@rdsofree lowell is a dump full of white trash losers place is gross ought to be a crime to raise children in an armpit like lowell

[kingoflowell]

LOWELL :D

[ThePhonoJack]

Lowell is #1. The creator of this poor video is a big #2, a big turd.

[WoodstockImprov]

I don't know if Lowell is a good place to live... I know only that it was the birthplace of Jack Kerouac and it's thing to be proud!

[nicholasbruno]

i love it bahaha

[Jazzercizex3o0]

Ooooh Lowell. I love this city. XD

[ishopatmarketbasket]

haha loved it. wouldnt have it any other way. go lowell <3

[Spencer7271985]

thank you for making me feel even worse about living here

[michizzle18]

what the..? you seriously made lowell like its the worst place to go. i lived here my whole life and its definitely not THIS bad. there are so many other places worse than this. it may have been bad back then, but lowell DEFINITELY changed. i barely hear any bad things goin on now. i love lowell and this video definitely needs an update!

[Jazzercizex3o0]

Dude, it's supossed to be SARCASTIC. That's the point. It's SUPPOSED to sound like the dullest place on earth. Wooow.

[KidsAsianAsHell]

Lowell is the best place too me so whatcha talkn bout :]Many asians

[hdjbby]

this is where HIGH ON CRACK STREET WAS FILMED..THERE IS A MOVIE BEING MADE NOW ABOUT A RICH CRACK ADDICT,NO ONE SPEAKS OF THE POOR PEOPLE IN THE VIDEO NAMED BRENDA, BOO AND JANET.. I GUESS NO ONE WANTES TO TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE FULL STORY BEFORE THEY STARTED MAKING THE MOVIE.. THE RICH BOXER KNOWS PEOPLE AND CAN P U LL R O P E S !!!

[kodachromefilm]

Pray for global warming!

[paul36uk]

I think you'll find Coalbrookdale England is most widely acclaimed for the birth of the industrial revolution, at a time almost before America was invented!

[irishtraycee]

@paul36uk would it help if it were "The Birthplace of the American Industrial revoloution

[EloquentMicca]

after watching this I will definitely vacation In Lowell such an attractive place !! WOW ! :O

[xomileycyrusloverox1]

might wanna think twice about that... lol.

[donhoe01]

lowel-life sucks

[YaHz1983]

This city suck

[RONDOismyHOMEBOY]

frick you!

[betmar123]

Lowell is a historical place it still remains very vintage

[jamin108]

1: 27 that bus is so little lol BTW iv Been to the Lowell textile museum when i was in 5th grade 2007

[crapidious]

...and here was me thinking the birthplace of the industrial revolution was Ironbridge, in England. Unesco seems to think so too.

[JoeDeceiver]

I live in Lowell. I'd rather it be remembered for birthing one of our greatest modern authors and poets... yes, I am of course speaking of Michael Chiklis.

[KarmicOmen]

Would you vacation here?

[JoeDeceiver]

You can vacation with Torgo but you'd better bring your American Express card.

[KageShinobiWarrior]

The original home of the entire industrial revolution to begin with is in Derbyshire, England. Soo....nyah

[moocorners]

An unfair slight, indeed.

[AmaranthQueen]

I grew up there and now live in a small farm town..trust me..there are benefits to big cities as well as flaws...

[ryguy118]

Actually, the title is wrong. The actual birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in the United States is Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Samuel Slater opened the first mill in the United States there.

[pdarksage]

Pretty funny

[ShaunaTMSF]

lol i know where all this is too. im a freshman at lowell high :D i have to go to most of these places everyday

[Ac3f0rgrace94]

lol me to i kno the guy who commented below me xD

[4D3pr3ss3d]

i liv there xD i noe where all dat is

[sniperjj]

manchester, england was the real birthplace of the industrial revolution. its also a poverty ridden dump. twinned with lowell in spirit, it seems. (i'm from manchester btw)

[BrunoL36]

Really? I didn't know Manchester was a suburb of Ironbridge.

[sniperjj]

well, it was the first industrial city should i say

[KageShinobiWarrior]

It was near chatsworth house in derbyshire actually, not too far away but thats the truth of it

[yermanno13]

miles davis and john coltrane- cool music

[yermanno13]

i only looked this up cos kerouac is from lowell

[splitphilly]

Wow a horrible video topped off with an amazing song. Weird part is, I paused this band to watch this movie. WEIIIIRRRRDDDD

[DManCooCooCachoo]

By Sarcastic did you mean shitty?

[GeorgeBallooney]

This is the worst attempt at humor I've seen yet. It's sooo easy to make fun of lowell and instead we get this piss poor attempt?

[josephkennith]

what deauece bag flaged this video

[ufunnyguy911]

Love it!!

[josephkennith]

there tearing all those mills and putting in towers for aparments.

[jstets1978]

@josephkennith apartment towers breed scum if you dont live in a single family home your a loser

[cakedonkey]

Funny ass video. I fucking love Lowell. And good call on American Football.

[portugy18]

If I were to bother doing a video like this I would of went to Lawrence. Its not surprising that you some how missed two big sections of lowell like Pawtucketville and Belvidere. Well that would of ruined the sarcasm of your horrible attempt of humor.

[dboggia]

After viewing your videos, I've decided you have absolutely no grounds to comment on whether something is funny or not. Any intelligent person who HAS a sense of humor, and has also been to Lowell, would find this funny. Perhaps if there were some homoerotic wrestling or men covered in whipped cream you might have enjoyed it more. Or perhaps some rap music.

[soulburner978]

search "high on crack street" on youtube and you will see what lowell is.

[GoSukaCock]

lmfao! funny video.

[rikmysta73]

[despotidis]

i've been told that lowell and lynn are very poor areas with a lot of violance. you can even get killed there.

[prettytree4]

omg KILLED??!! holy crap i need to move out.

[getoutofmyway01]

You can get killed anywhere. There's a lot of VioLENCE in the world...Why don't you visit Lowell sometime and see all of the history there, instead of writing about places you've never been to. Peace.

[BobDylangirl]

What, no mention of Kerouac or Ed McMahon? LMAO.... awesome video!!!

[HighlandKnight]

WOW! Great film :) Makes me realize what I missed on my 2 visits to that wondrous city. I hope to return, using your video as my guide.
