Really enjoy your videos. Interesting to see the difference in small towns between the south and the north. I have one request. could you show the high schools in the towns you visit In most small towns or small cities, the school is the focus and pride of the community. You can tell a lot about a town from its high school. Would be fun to see more of them in your videos. Keep up the good work and safe travels!

Everybody hates it when people politicize stuff, but I'm going to anyway. Joe and Nic's entire trip up through the center of the country was mostly through Republican territory--and most of those states were emptied out and in pretty rough condition. Here we reach Blue Minnesota and we see a vibrant state. Who says the conservative Sun Belt has it over the progressive North

Itasca is pronounced eyetasca. Long I. When you commented on low income, I grew up in northern Minnesota. My dad always said that the depression never left northern Minnesota. He struggled to support us by selling pulp wood, working various jobs he could find, and working on yards of summer residents. Most of the income is tourism in the area you explored.

Most property values in those towns have been inflated due to out of town big city types buying lake property which obviously hurts the locals. Years ago east coast types moved to mn and took that equity from their high priced homes and not only bought nice homes in the city but had equity left over to go overboard on cabin prices thus pricing out locals

Ha. When the video started, I didn't know what you were talking about as pronounced it as It-aska. I always know it pronounced as Eye-taska. Grew up in rural Minnesota. Never have visited that park though. I have photos my grandma and sisters took about 1940 when they visited that park. For some reason, none of them are of that headwaters spot though.

Home prices have been out of touch with reality for many years in MN and is only getting worse. Its nearly impossible to rent even an apartment in Duluth for less than $1k per month. Sadly the Twin Cities pricing has bled up this way and is now bleeding into rural Northern Minny. Definitely time for some fresh leadership or at least a level playing field.

I've done a few river road tours of various stretches of the Mississippi and I've always wanted to go there! Thanks for such a great video of it! So serene and beautiful, can feel how special it is.
ETA I've never seen cars parked in the middle of the road like that, looks kind of apocalyptic and an accident waiting to happen.

I grew up in Minnesota. Many grade schools have annual field trips to the headwaters. Itasca is a beautiful state park. It was always fun dipping our toes in the water and walking across the mighty Mississippi. Park Rapids, Frazee and Detroit Lakes are lake towns, so land values are at a premium the closer you get to a lakeshore.

Been living in Duluth my entire life and after watching some of your videos in Gary and such, I probably will NEVER move! I thought this city had some issues. Nothing like those slums you've been going through. I'll stick with my crummy apartment with a view of the lake and bridge.

Too bad the more you go south on the Mississippi the more polluted it gets. The nukes continue to dump their radioactive releases into the air AND the water. I wouldn't want to go to Minneapolis or St. Paul as their nuclear reactors have had significant impact on the surrounding area.

My first husband grew up in Grand Rapids, MN, the northernmost navigable point on the Mississippi. It was also the childhood home of Judy Garland. Bob Dylan was born up on the Iron Range, not far from where you are, in a town called Virginia, MN.

A few years ago my 75 year old wife took off her shoes and walked across the little stone path at the very beginning of the Mississippi. That is one of my fondest memories of our 52 years together. She died 2 years ago. Thanks for the post.

Park rapidly is a vacation town which increases the cost of living and property cost. Taxes very high. I lived there. You need to say Itasca correctly. Ask locals.

You could drink the water at the beginning of the river, but it will most likely kill you if you drink it by the time it gets to the Gulf of Mexico.
