Thank you so much! ❤️

Whoa-that’s crazy! Sounds like we’ll have to check out the one in Indy when we can. Thanks for the info. 👍

That’s awesome to hear! It’s nice to have a place you can rely on. 😊

@@MikeLizLife yes back in May! My company convention is near at the Benson

That’s pretty cool. 👍 And thanks so much for checking the video out and chatting with us. We love it! 😊

the stairwells on the MPE are north/south

Thank you-that’s so encouraging, Alberto! We plan on shooting one (probably) next week, explaining why we’ve been away, and then on to more usual stuff after that. Cheers and thanks again!

Ehereeee

Do you mean the Funny Bone? It has closed, yes. 😞

@@MikeLizLife Yes I was referring to Funny Bone. Sad news, but the Levee does seem to have a higher than average turnover rate.

Hey, Juan! Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍 Those were just the days when we shot the video.

Well, to be fair, it looks about the same quality as its competitors-on the surface, at least. And it did seem clean. So, definitely not luxurious, but decent enough for a value-to-moderately-priced hotel. We do intend to review some other places in the area; see what they’re reeeeeally like. There’s TownePlace Suites by Marriott that just opened up in Florence next to Target, and a large Hampton Inn & Suites in Williamstown next to Ark Encounter will be up and running for 2023.

Whaaat?! That’s so nuts. We’ll have to go again when we can. (Our little guy was born without an immune system [SCID] and had a bone marrow transplant in October, but I’m sure we’ll head that way once he’s good to go. 👍).

@@MikeLizLife Newport is a town of unfulfilled promise. Hopefully the Ovation project will be successful but you can never discount that town's ability to screw anything up.

Oh, that’s awesome! Hope it’s a great day!

You should! We love going over there! If we were to visit Philly, what sorts of things would you recommend we check out?

@@MikeLizLife The Reading Terminal Market has tons of vendors foodwise and otherwise, including Amish produce, meat, and dairy. Of course, everything is about history here, so the constitution center, liberty bell, holocaust memorial, Sprouts Market, the Italian Market and...of course...the rocky statue (now at the bottom of the steps of the art museum)! 🙏...can't forget the infamous cheesesteak wars between Genos and Pat's (an entirely different area of the city altogether)

We’d encourage you to stop in sometime! It’s a nice break from the usual. 👍

Awesome! It’s really cool. Are you on the hunt for something in particular or more heading over to browse?

Alan, thank you for going into such detail in your comment-that’s all fantastic to know! We really love their food and snag it when we get the chance. Something we haven’t tried yet are their seasonal juice blends. The Purple Haze they have right now looks phenomenal! What were your go-tos there?

Oh wow have things changed Alan. I was an Operations Manager up until a month ago. Although I’ll agree the hours were amazing and it was an ok place to work. Virtually nothing is fresh anymore. The Juices are fresh. But everything else is pre packaged nowadays. Even the potatoes. It’s actually kind of gross. The butter is 100% not prepared anymore along with the sauces. Certain LTO sauces are but it’s very few. Still no microwaves.

Brad, this was shot in the Fall of 2020 when The Island’s regulations were probably a bit different than they are today. As a private enterprise, they’re free to make such requirements. It’s not our practice to voluntarily wear masks outdoors; especially when no one else is around. However, when wearing masks indoors or in close proximity to others for extended periods of time, sometimes it was easy to forget that we were still doing so in circumstances where masks weren’t required. And thus we accidentally became the silly people who wear masks outdoors when no one else is around. Anyway, thanks for stopping by, watching the video, and taking the time to comment. We do hope you’ll get to know us a bit better through watching more of our videos or chatting with us in the comments. Cheers!

@@MikeLizLife You have my respect (if that means anything, lol) for replying, but as far as I can see most people don't have on masks in the video. I might have had a couple beers in me when I wrote that....... I watched and enjoyed and wish you two the best!

You’re very welcome! Thank you for stopping by and we hope you have a nice stay. 👍

Thank you-you’re very kind to say so! Have you yet had the opportunity to visit Big Bone Lick?

We didn’t, no, but looking at a map, is that the collection of buildings just a hair north?

Oh, it was so nice! Even that area just in general was super neat to see-we can’t wait to go back; hopefully sometime next year.

Thank you so much! We’ll have to check out your channel! We’d love to head back eventually and just take our time; do things like the bike path, amusement parks, zoo, local restaurants, etc.

We have been visiting erie alot lately i really cool place. We are from grove city pa !!! Thank you for sharing

Awesome! Thank you for stopping by! What’re some fun things to do or see in Grove City?

@@MikeLizLife tuff question !! Funny how your home town is just the norm routine BUT ! there seems to be a fascination with our outlet mall some facts about 👉 Outlets includes more than 130 brand-name outlet stores, a food court, It is one of the largest outlet malls in the United States. We have keystone safari animal park 144 acre interactive animal and adventure park !! Hope to cross paths some day thanks again for your videos !!!

That all sounds fantastic! Maybe we should head there…. 🤔 It would be totally cool to run into each other! Thanks for your videos as well. Surfing the channel now! 👍

Bud, we prefer hearing people’s opinions in comments-even if they’re negative-over dislikes, which don’t tell us anything meaningful. For a little context, when this video was shot, NY State was requiring mask use in their parks when members of multiple parties were in close proximity. However, if it’s the aesthetic choice you’re protesting, then hopefully our editing has and will continue to improve. Feedback definitely helps. May you have a nice day!

❤️ Beth, is it your first trip? 😃

Very cool! Have you been able to enjoy Big Bone Lick?

@@MikeLizLife have been there about 4 times. But it has been about 10 years since my last visit. There's a park that almost adjoins it called Hartig park. It's got a beautiful look out of the Ohio river. And there is a old place where a cabin used to stand with a beautiful old root cellar that when you are standing directly in the center of it. It makes a crazy acoustic sound that really messes with your hearing. But it has awesome walking trails

😮 That’s so awesome! Sounds like we’ve gotta visit Hartig sometime! Are you thinking about heading back to Big Bone soon?

Hello! We didn’t see people eating any while we were there, but I think it’s likely many do. Great question! Do you fish?

Thanks, BLUE SKY! 😊

‘Morning! We haven’t, though we’d love to! And it’d be fun to run into you. 👍

If you do be sure to take pics ! Fall colors are breathtaking !! Oh man the hatchery as well its on the way thanks for the chat see you on the river LOL be safe!!

Thanks; that does sound amazing! See ya out there!

Thanks so much for watching and dropping us a note! It’s such a beautiful little town, and seeing the salmon run was so cool. Thanks again, Mike!

That’s so awesome! 😎 Missing the lighthouse tour was a bummer for us-it looked so cool! Where’d you end up staying?

@@MikeLizLife I was near Bradford, PA hiking in the Allegheny National Forest the day before I went to Presque Isle. I stayed in Bradford overnight and made the trip to Erie via mostly 1-86. The Lighthouse Tour was $7, but it was well worth it with the views and history. My family is from Western New York, but I’m from Florida. My uncle has a hunting cabin in the Southern Tier section of NY, so I did some hiking there as well before I went into PA. I’ve wanted to go to Presque Isle for a long time, but I’m glad I was able to go this time.

I also did some hikes in the Niagara Frontier region of NY. I go to Niagara Falls every time I’m up there.

That’s really awesome! We’ll have to keep the national forest in mind. Liz is also from NY-the central region near Rome; beautiful country. And I’m a Southern boy, though I’ve never lived in Florida. We sure love visiting, though! -Mike

Crazy as it may be, I’ve never stopped in at Niagara Falls. 😱 Passed by there on numerous occasions, but never stopped. Liz, of course, has been, but years ago. Perhaps it’s time for a refresher? -Mike

From what we understand, it’s biweekly. 👍 Thinking about putting in an application?

So true! 😂 Thank you! It was such a nice afternoon. 😊

SEEEEEE?! 😂😍🥰 And she has a new luster raising our little boy. 😊 -Mike

That’s so awesome to hear, Tchelle! Did we represent them fairly?

Oh, that’s so cool! Seems like a nice place. 😊

Thank you so much! 🥰 We actually just had a little boy in June, and wouldn’t you know it: he has auburn hair and his mama’s smile! 😊 Perhaps someday we’ll be blessed with a little girl who looks just like him. 😄 ❤️

@@MikeLizLife oh wow!! Congratulations welcome to the exclusive mothers club. I wish you many happy years

Thank you so much! ❤️ He has a serious immune disorder (SCID) that will require a bone marrow transplant, so it’s a rough season, but he’s such a joy! 🥰

@@MikeLizLife I am also dealing with so much my husbands very ill. I am praying for you all. You continue to be strong and record everything ❤️ xoxox

Very sorry to hear about your husband; we’ll pray for his good health as well. Thank you so much for your warmth and kindness! 🥲🥰

It was super accommodating of him! 😊 After seeing the way he treated us and nice, spacious rooms, it’s definitely a place we wouldn’t mind staying at!

Oh, okay-interesting! Well, thanks for dropping in and for the tip. 😊

@@MikeLizLife the employees are not treated like human beings like slaves,dogs,and invisible people!

That’s terrible to hear! 😢

Haha! The editing quality is just not up to their standards of cleanliness... 😉

It is a bit pricey; that’s why we consider it a special treat when we go, and why we appreciate being gifted their gift cards. 😊

Not expensive.

It really is! 🎮🎧📱💿💻📠🖥🕹

Oo, what a great tip, Rene! That sounds soooo good right now! 🤤 Thank you!

Your welcome Mike @ Liz . First watch was my family's favorite restaurant when we live in lakemary Florida. We would visit the location in Longwood. Good luck I hope you can still order the grilled cheese. Keep me posted 👍😄

Oh, we look forward to it! And we definitely will. 😊 👍 Are you near a First Watch where you’re at now?

@@MikeLizLife currently we are living back in New jersey . We have a similar restaurant called turning point in Homdel . Check it out if you visit . Very healthy

@@MikeLizLife 😀

It really was nice; we hope to return in the near future. 😊 So far we’ve only stayed at the Margaritaville Island Inn in Pigeon Forge, and it was great overall (ruclips.net/video/mjInn62jNCk/видео.html). There are loads of other options, though, depending on what you’re into. The next time we visit, we would like to spend at least one night closer to Gatlinburg itself, so we might consider a cabin, or something like Fairfield Inn & Suites. Are you going to be heading that way soon?!

It really was! Prices seem to have gone up of late, varying from $150s-$180s/night.

nice

They do, yes!

@@MikeLizLife ok because this weekend im going to a new state and they have one by where im going and which ones do they normally have do you know

Cool! This will hopefully be helpful: www.microcenter.com. Just be sure to set the location to the right store and (🤞) the info should be correct.

@@MikeLizLife o ok thanks sm

Sure thing! 😊 I hope it goes well for you. 👍

😂 Poor kid. They just don’t make hotels like they used to.... Was that his first time to see a phone like that?

Mike & Liz Life I think so? My dad still has a landline at his house, but they’re cordless phones.

Gotcha-makes sense. Well... maybe the next hotel? 😊

Yeah, who knows?! 🤷‍♂️ 😂 Thank you, Martha; it’s great to be back! 😃🥳
