I really enjoyed making this one, perhaps for obvious reasons- Kansas and Nebraska are the only two states I have ever actually lived in. I went down so many walks down memory lane while making this video, which is part of the reason why it took so darn long to make. 

Simply put, it's a very personal video with a lot of original footage and pictures. It's kind of nice when I can just film in my backyard!

Thank you for your continued support.

Kansas and Nebraska Compared

Download Civil War: War and Peace: https://warandpeace.onelink.me/g1tb/56a28d73 Mr. Beat compares and contrasts two states in the middle of the country, and two that he knows very well.

That Nebraska flatland to forest shift mirrors some of the changes in vegetation one sees when driving I-45 from Houston to Dallas. Though more hilly.

I really like this video. I would love to see more sometime about the shifting social climates in both Western Kansas and Nebraska. Dodge City, Garden City, and North Platte are now majority Hispanic and Spanish Speaking. I assume workers migrated there in freight cars on trains, but I really have never seen a good historical piece on that.

I don't think I've ever made that drive, surprisingly, except maybe when I was a kid.

That's a really great idea for a separate video. I used to work with someone from Dodge City, who told me about all the dramatic changes she saw in the town throughout her life. It'd be great to visit those places to interview local folks.

I enjoyed the video. I think of both states as both a crossroads of America and a beginning point of the west.
