Whenever I drive by a damaged building such as the one in Oakland I can’t help but think of all of the people who have passed through its doors. The man that worked so hard to afford to open his brand new business. The mailman who went through those doors every day to drop off the mail. The young woman on the first day of her first job. I think about what simply passing through those doors meant to so many different people.
I do this when I travel to places and come across old buildings or visit somewhere very old and historic....I love to imagine what life was like in that space and all the people there and their stories. I always wish when I walk into an old building that I could see a story in my mind, like a movie, telling it's story and about the people who breathed life into it.
I grew up in a town that was done in by uncontrolled crime and of course drugs and alcohol abuse. The old corner stores run by families was destroyed by such people not bringing their government dependent children up properly. It's something that's still happening across America. Now it's department stores ransacked of goods and now closing down. Lost jobs for those wanting to work and hold are town together. Love this blog of goods gone bye...
I grew up in NYC and never saw any small towns in the US until in my early twenties. I travel the states quite a bit now by car, and I love taking the smaller roads and seeing the small towns. Somehow, even though I am a first generation immigrant, and grew up in a big city, these towns still give me a nostalgic feeling. I guess it's the longing for a slower, simpler life in times past.
NYC and LA is what the world thinks America is. I'm glad you've found out for your self that it is so much more. Good on you for taking blue roads and avoiding interstates, thats how its done my friend.
@@Mountainrock70 Your not missing much, unless you yern for bumper to bumper traffic, rude people every where you turn and just over all congestion of accumulated idiots....I rather talk to the cows.
Born and Raised in Brooklyn, New York but LOVED going to South Carolina to my parents hometowns! Today at the age of 61 and living in the D/M/V, I still love the charm of these small and sleepy towns!
@@TheDailyWoo When I did my Route 66 trip (same time as you, but in the other direction), whenever I came to a small town I'd ask Alexa what the population was, and I recorded all of that (actually I recorded the whole trip!)
I love these videos. My mom grew up in Lula and we use to visit family there back in the 70 and 80’s as kids. It was a bustling town until the crop picking starting to be done by machines. Also they built a new highway further away from town. Now it’s about 300 people or less at last count about 10 years ago. I miss those days and visits. They were so fun bicycling around the town with no worries during the summer.
HEY ATW...ANOTHER AWESOME VLOG. YOU REALLY KNOCKED this week's vlogs "out of the park!" Your homework on laying out a route back to Celebration has payed off and been a riveting study of Americana and film history. Thank you for your perseverance in keeping quality in your content.
I'm huge fan of your vlog you go above and beyond to show us the different places you either visit or grew up in My husband and I always watch the vlog of you and your Dad the history of each picture blew our minds and field of dreams was so sentimental thanks for these vlogs
I love that you always highlight the water towers in each town. Growing up, my parents always loved to take the backroads to Florida from Tennessee. We would always take photos of the water towers that we came across. My favorite water tower is the one in Plant City, FL because it looks like a strawberry. ☺️
Cows for the most part are curious creatures. Always had fun banging around my grandfather’s old barn just to see how many I could draw up to the barn, it was all most all of his small heard.
You’re in my state where I live except you were on the opposite side from me. Hwy 61 through the delta is my favorite part of the state, so many old towns up and down that hwy. Tons of abandoned buildings over there.
I’m between Amory and Aberdeen. If I had known you were in the vicinity I’d have procured you a nice piping hot caffeinated beverage. Be safe the rest of the way to Florida. Enjoy all your vlogs.
I’m really loving this series! Always make sure to keep going past strange people digging a hole in the middle of nowhere! I also really loved the shot with the sign and tire, amazing little photographic find there. No coffee in Coffeeville!? That should be a crime! Excellent work my friend!!!
Born and raised and still living in Mississippi. Love small towns. Enjoying the backroads adventures and checking out these small towns. Be safe. God bless
These abandoned, deserted places are so enjoyable and interesting, whatever the lure is. I'm so happy that you're returning to family and FL, but sort of hate to see these end, for awhile. Thanks, so much, Adam from all of us who have loved this journey. Safe travels. 🤠👏🛣
I won't lie I really do envy you at times.....only in a good way. The piece and quiet really appeals to me. Especially in the current climate. Thanks for sharing another awesome vlog. Stay safe and much love.
If i had to pick my favourite kind of vlogs Adam that you do they would be these, love you meandering along, taking it all in simple things, surprising finds, love all that, i loved the towns name coffeeville lol, no coffee shop though, safe travels see you in the next one, Thankyou
Adam has been far more productive with these road-trip videos than all the other vloggers who only post useless Disney stuff. I applaud that. I mean how many times can you show viewers a cupcake, or the fireworks at Disney World? B-O-R-I-N-G. I fall asleep. These vids are amazing.
I have done two great trips through the US.One from New York to Seattle, the other from New York to San Francisco by car, and the most time I have seen the small towns you show us Adam.The USA is country,country and again country with a wonderfull landscape and very friendly people, at least most of them. Greatings from a German fan.
You crossed the state line on my birthday 🥳 And I absolutely LOVE the way the cows look at you when you talk to them!! 😂 I’ve started watching your videos in the. Morning. While I get ready for work. 🇦🇺 I’m loving the constant!!! I’ll have to send you some of our old hand painted billboards here!! I’m like you. I love seeing the faded paint of classic brands
Adam, you should really check out Water Valley in Yalobusha County next time you drive through the backroads of Mississippi! It’s gorgeous, and has a booming downtown with lots of murals - you would love it! Hello from a fellow Mississippian who is very jealous you visited her hometown today!
Adam always get a kick with Big The Foot making a special appearance in your back road vlogs and I’m sure you’ve had that air freshener as long as you had your wallet! Can’t remember when Big The Foot entered the scene? Loving the vids!
Love the small towns, a sign of Simpler times😊the Old drive-in brought back great memories, spent many weekends at one as my bff when I was a kid brought me along to hang out there while her Dad worked there😎good ol days😊
12:18 It blows my mind that there is a store full of clothing abandoned in the middle of nowhere. I just think of how those clothes could be given to the homeless or at least donated.
Your video reminds me of my own driving thru small communities back in the day. My favorite sign from then was a large sign that said, "If you lived here you'd be home now!"
Just woke up & 7am here . Here we are a little bit of WOO and some pancakes & eggs . Glad you're staying below the winter weather because it is cold up here [ -8 F w/wind chill + 4 inches of snow ] yesterday here in minnie . I love the old little towns . It was a fun & interesting Trip learned a bunch as i do most videos . I am glad you made it home safe . Lots of Love Adam ❤
Hey Adam! Loving all of the new videos.. I’m from a small town in Mississippi and it’s awesome you were driving through here. Wanted to tell you that there’s also a little town called Hot Coffee in central Mississippi about an hour from Hattiesburg or so. Thank you for the videos and have safe travels to Celebration.
Please tell me you eventually found a coffee shop in coffeeville. Lol. I happened to be enjoying a piping hot caffeinated beverage while watching this. 😋☕️ Love your videos btw. My husband and I do the same thing when we travel. Love taking the back roads and checking out the little small towns. Always something interesting to see. Happy holidays and safe travels! Looking forward to seeing more of these videos. 😊
I have a thing for old theaters, especially if they're operating. I know you don't have the time but to me it would almost be worth it to stay in that small town just to go to the little local theater, assuming it was still in operation. I love going to those old theaters.
That's a nice find (19:18). Beautifully odd architecture in a mixture of styles, I suppose. The tinted windows give a nice contrast. I like their giant Christmas ornaments placed at the entrances. Each one has its own little flat white tree! Very cool.
Adam, any time I’m on the road and spy an “abandoned” ANYTHING, I think of you!! You get SO excited by any “dated” sofa signage that I admit to trying to find a new one! I just love your obvious joy in what you’ve been up to lately…..it’s 100% contagious, my friend and I’m tickled to see you ENJOYING what you doing with your life right now. I imagine, give the sheer number of small towns you’ve been to, you have hundreds, or possibly thousands, of stories that are as yet untold and I am very eager to hear them all! You stay safe out there and be well. You’ll be in my prayers every night, my friend.
I can't say it enough - this - this - is the content I love on the TDW channel - Adam traveling and talking about what he sees. This is awesome. Thank you Adam - we sense your enjoyment of what you are doing and we (I) love it. Love it when you talk to the animals - the best
So glad to see you back doing what you do best. Janice and I have missed these type of videos. Remember you have a Bigfoot Tour with Ocala Bigfoot Tours waiting on ya again just a thank you for the enjoyment we get from your videos Dont even worry about bringing a camera just come enjoy the adventure
This was cool 😎 to see Adam. I like how you talk to the cows 🐄 and, wander what the heck their thinking. You should go home 🏡 and spend time with your family for Christmas 🎄. Maybe you can come North in the New Year.
I love when you start you vlogs with scenery and the sounds like the water fountain in Celebration or Orange Circle(which I know we won’t see anymore) and the traffic. Fun trip! Loved the Coca Cola Mural. Stay safe and keep on being you, Adam! 👍❤️
Next time you are in middle Ms, venture to Choctaw County, to Weir and Ackerman. Used to be lots of abandoned sites there. (My Great GG and Grandparents were born and raised there.) Be safe on your journey! Hope to see you at spring Spooky Empire!
I'm enjoying watching your travels exploring towns across the US, making good time and with decent weather! Florida welcomes you and I wish you the best of the Holiday Season for you & your family! See you soon, happy trails!
That store with the clothes still Inside is really cool. What a shame it was just left since that was how somebody once kept their light on and family fed..
Glad to have you back young man. Been missing ya while you were knee deep in all of those other adventures! Continue to "do you," you're the only one qualified for the job....
Every time I see these old abandoned strips, I always wonder why there's still so many cars in front of boarded up shops... Like what are people doing? lol
Hey Adam I love the backroad vids I live just east of Memphis and just north of Mississippi And you still find small towns I’ve never seen thank you for what you do.very entertaining
Seeing that Rexall sign always has me think of the fantastically funny Phil Harris & Alice Faye radio show as the opening was "Good Health to All from Rexall."…A nice visual which triggers good memories of the past…
if you ever get to go to Cobourg Ontario Canada, just after the dutch oven, on King street there is a huge mural painting of the old steam boat fairy from Rochester NY to Cobourg Ontario, ALSO the water tanks just off Darcy street , several Murals as well, there are a few more but i forget right now :D
Adam I watch your videos from the very beginning. I've never left Florida so I've always admired you traveling because you're a Floridian just like me. I'd greatly appreciate it if you come and hang out with me and camp out with my family over at Holy lands on 27 at my area
Oh wow, what a waste. Those clothes could have been given to a homeless shelter. I love these back road towns. I'm from a very small town in Oklahoma. It's much bigger now than from when I was a child. I liked it much better when it was smaller. I don't care for large city's. God bless you Adam. Stay safe and well. I admire your sense of adventure. Your so brave. 🤗🙏❤️
I am sure I'd love your town. Been watching these small towns tour of US from India. Your towns over there look so laidback. But no way for me to visit them. Have to be contened with Adam's video.
Always think of the Dukes of Hazzard when I hear Chicasaw County. :) I grew up in Enochville, NC. A village with meanderings of where it begins and ends lol but, home to Elvia Allman, boss lady in the Lucy chocolate scene! :)
Seeing flat wide open space is so unnerving to me. I'm surrounded by high mountains in Northern California...so the sky is a peek hole at the top and you feel craddled and protected by the mountains and trees. The first time I experienced the open sky without mountains there was a lightning storm...something that is pretty rare here, which fascinated me and then the next day the hugeness of the sky made me feel so vulnerable and unsafe. I wonder if people born and raised in a flat area with no mountains feel closed in and suffocated when craddled in the mountains and trees? lol
I find this interesting as I grew up in all the forests of North Georgia and was surrounded by trees like you. But that landscape was associated with bad memories and I often felt unsafe and closed in. Now I live in the desert and feel so much peace, like a sense of boundless freedom and calm. Perhaps geographic preferences are partially shaped by the feelings we had with them in our earliest years.
Whenever I drive by a damaged building such as the one in Oakland I can’t help but think of all of the people who have passed through its doors. The man that worked so hard to afford to open his brand new business. The mailman who went through those doors every day to drop off the mail. The young woman on the first day of her first job. I think about what simply passing through those doors meant to so many different people.

I was born is Mississippi as well, in Columbus! My dad was in the military and we moved all over the place while I was young !
I grew up in Raymond, Mississippi. A small town outside of Jackson.

What a coincidence....my name is Raymond and I live in Mississippi 🤣🤣
Although I live on the coast....its like a different state altogether!

nice to have you back on the road. south dakota calling
Adam, those weathered old murals are affectionately referred to as ghost signs because their peak of life has gone by.
I really enjoy your videos. I travel the backroads myself. The old towns are in my soul.
That store with the clothes still
Inside is really cool. What a shame it was just left since that was how somebody once kept their light on and family fed..
@6:09 there was a rare truck.. the "lil red express" dodge
Good morning Adam, that was very coo,l thanks for taking us with you.
Awesome video once again Adam. I love these old towns with the old buildings and homes. Keep up the good work and stay safe buddy.
Very nice. Wish you had investigated the drive in theater. Looking forward to tomorrow's episode. 👍
Glad to have you back young man. Been missing ya while you were knee deep in all of those other adventures! Continue to "do you," you're the only one qualified for the job....
Every time I see these old abandoned strips, I always wonder why there's still so many cars in front of boarded up shops... Like what are people doing? lol
Hey Adam I love the backroad vids I live just east of Memphis and just north of Mississippi And you still find small towns I’ve never seen thank you for what you do.very entertaining
Still plugging away! Love these travel videos. Thanks I was afraid you’d maybe just do one or two.
another great part of your road trip home , well done again and thank you adam :)
What a cool little glimpse into bits and pieces of America that I will probably never see in person, but now through you, I've had that experience!
Thank you so much for sharing the Small Towns. Happy Holiday’s.
Seeing that Rexall sign always has me think of the fantastically funny Phil Harris & Alice Faye radio show as the opening was "Good Health to All from Rexall."…A nice visual which triggers good memories of the past…
9:27 Nice find and beautiful shot Adam!
if you ever get to go to Cobourg Ontario Canada, just after the dutch oven, on King street there is a huge mural painting of the old steam boat fairy from Rochester NY to Cobourg Ontario, ALSO the water tanks just off Darcy street , several Murals as well, there are a few more but i forget right now :D
Always a pleasure watching your videos, you have gotten me thru some rough times..Keep up the energy you have !! Thank you..
I live in Long Beach Ms , they used to have a drive in theater in Hattiesburg along with the Cadillac with the giant chicken head mounted on top
Adam I watch your videos from the very beginning. I've never left Florida so I've always admired you traveling because you're a Floridian just like me. I'd greatly appreciate it if you come and hang out with me and camp out with my family over at Holy lands on 27 at my area
Thanks Adam, looks like you are having fun, well without coffee!!
Oh wow, what a waste. Those clothes could have been given to a homeless shelter. I love these back road towns. I'm from a very small town in Oklahoma. It's much bigger now than from when I was a child. I liked it much better when it was smaller. I don't care for large city's. God bless you Adam. Stay safe and well. I admire your sense of adventure. Your so brave. 🤗🙏❤️
I am sure I'd love your town. Been watching these small towns tour of US from India. Your towns over there look so laidback. But no way for me to visit them. Have to be contened with Adam's video.
Shall you.....Love the small towns Adam, and love going down memory lane with your Dad as well....
Great video Adam. Just the way I like them; all laid back, and peaceful; old world and a little lonely.
Always think of the Dukes of Hazzard when I hear Chicasaw County. :) I grew up in Enochville, NC. A village with meanderings of where it begins and ends lol but, home to Elvia Allman, boss lady in the Lucy chocolate scene! :)
LOVING these videos Adam! Keep up the awesome work!
Im enjoying these vids keep it up Adam :)
Great vid, Adam. Throughly enjoyed it. 👍👍
Seeing flat wide open space is so unnerving to me. I'm surrounded by high mountains in Northern California...so the sky is a peek hole at the top and you feel craddled and protected by the mountains and trees. The first time I experienced the open sky without mountains there was a lightning storm...something that is pretty rare here, which fascinated me and then the next day the hugeness of the sky made me feel so vulnerable and unsafe. I wonder if people born and raised in a flat area with no mountains feel closed in and suffocated when craddled in the mountains and trees? lol
I find this interesting as I grew up in all the forests of North Georgia and was surrounded by trees like you. But that landscape was associated with bad memories and I often felt unsafe and closed in. Now I live in the desert and feel so much peace, like a sense of boundless freedom and calm. Perhaps geographic preferences are partially shaped by the feelings we had with them in our earliest years.
