When you were under the bridge at the beginning that is Dunn's creek. it connects Crescent Lake to the St. Johns River. Taking a tour by boat in this area would be amazing, I recommend. I was fortunate enough to grow up in this area and this is a trip back in time for me. Good stuff man
I am always amazed with old structures not being torn down. Be careful. Don't wanna get hurt out there. So cool seeing yesterday's world. I had a friend's grandmother who was 97 and told my friend and I stories. She showed us pictures of the town in 1920's so cool!!!!
That's called the white eagle. It used to have a huge white eagle statue on top of it. At one point it was one of the roughest biker bars around this area I've had a many good times there.
Hi there Mr. Tampa Jay, My husband and I have a place off of Dunns Creek. We pontoon on Dunns Creek a lot. There is a sandbar at mile marker 23 on the St. Johns River. A very popular sand bar. Loads of summer/water fun. It was neat to see you were in our area. Keep on making your video attractions, we love watching them. Susan
That was great.Thanks for taking me on that trip with you.. Great video man.. Good job.. Keep up the. Good work.. Great job.. It's just amazing how many older attractions and old Hotels and things like that disappeared in the last hundred years.. Again, thanks for taking me on the trip with U It was great. Until I see you in the next trip.Goodbye..👍🙏🙂
You were just down the road from where I am now. Middleburg. But I was born in and raised in Hardee County and spent many years in Ft. Meade. Thanks for the old Florida videos. Some of old Florida has changed but much of it hasn't. Love old Florida. Thanks Jay.
Another great video! I moved up to putnam county from sarasota back in 04. I travel all over the county servicing ac systems and i see every location in this video daily and have done work at several buildings including the Sprague house. There is a lot of civil war history in that area. And that old dodge truck has been on that lift since i moved there i pass it all the time.
I remember "Hills Is Where The Toys Are!" 🧸 & the front of the stores smelled like fresh buttered 🧈 popcorn 🍿 😋 & hotdogs 🌭 😋! I come from Pennsylvania so I knew exactly what you're talking about! Hills Dept Store!
Thanks Jay. Hope Cris the girl had a wonderful birthday. Rogue and abandoned shopping carts are one of my largest pet peeves too. I got a huge dent in my Subaru from a rogue shopping cart that wind slammed into my parked car. That was one repair I hated paying. Safe travels
HEY,.. JAY Ya ! Man Thanks for Doing another Abandoned Town's and Back Road video I Really enjoy These type of Video's That's What we use to Do back in our Younger Days Cruise the back Roads. Well ok Take care and Stay safe 🙏
Thanks for the backroads video Jay. I love them the most. I like all the videos but my favorite are the backroads and news are always the best. I have watched the old ones many times. Hugs my friend. ❤
That's how my town is. City Hall, Police dept, and Fire dept in 1 building. Pickens, South Carolina. Cool sites to explore close to me. Table Rock state park, Caesar's Head state park, Haygood Grist Mill, lots of waterfalls, lakes, rivers, creeks, caves, etc.. I love where I live. ❤ Can you tell? 😊
The old repair shop, with the truck stuck on top of the lift, you said the 2 levers you found on the side, were something to do with the gas. NO, they are the levers to operate the lifts, up or down, under air pressure. Just thought you would like to know.
That truck and tire service station is SO SO cool.. I just LOVE old service stations! I think of them when they were booming with people coming through... Employees around helping customers... So cool.
Once again, this made my Sunday! That lifted Ram still looked good and I could see why that gentleman was interested in that property! Lots of TLC, but tons of potential to bring it back to life.
Awesome adventure and a place I remembered going to as a teen fishing with my Uncle. The old motel site on Crescent Lake we stayed there on one of many fall fishing trips way back in the early 80's the structure that remained was the old restaurant I think. Appreciate you taking us along on yet another cool adventure 😎🚘🇺🇲😇🌞
Yayyyyyy! Love this. I collect cranes( the bird...not live one's lol) but I love statues and pictures of them! Love love these roadside videos! Thank you!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
Always love these old Florida roads, Tampa Jay. Keep getting closer to Lake Penasoki!!😊 Much ahead. There was something familiar about that road you tried going down, but you had to turn back.🤔🤔
Thank you, Tampa Jay, for the awesome journey in what must have been parts of Florida that must have held some kick butt tales .. that was very enjoyable, Sir 👍. Y'all enjoy and be well ✌️👀🎩.
I enjoyed watching this episode. The Sprague House in Crescent City looks like a place my wife and I would love to visit and stay overnight. I believe we in the South would pronounce it as Spray-gue, not Spahgue like you did several times. Anyway, I liked the commentary. It would be cool if you were to get permission to interview a local resident of the towns you visit. Happy travels! Watching from Jacksonville.
Hey Tampa Jay! Come back to the Bunnell area and I would love to tag along and we can check out a few old places!! I live five minutes from the first house in this video.
Jay you need to get back to Crescent City in April for the Crescent City Catfish Festival. They have amazing food and the longest parade I've ever seen.
Tampa Jay I know you love the haunted themed stuff. Have you ever been to the Mansfield Reformatory? It’s where they filmed the Shawshank Redemption movie. If you ever get up this way it’s a must visit you won’t regret it!!
That restaurant was called The White Eagle it was there for a very long time they had live music Some Nights. And as a construction worker I used to eat lunch there several times a week I think the roundabout they built their may have killed the business but it may have closed before that I'm not sure I moved out of the area in the early 2010s
Hey TJ I love the old garage with dodge on the lift! I wonder if they were outdoor bays and hoist or there was an old structure that had fallen down around it ? Anyways sounds like ur dad’s truck had a 318. They came with a 225 slant six 318 and 360s. And 5.9 Cummins (around 89 or so ).
Seville. Thought about this place other day. When I was going college in Tallahassee in 70's meet uoing lady from Seville. Told her no such town. Found out it did exist
I wish I was with you man I can explain a lot of those old towns that I used to go to with my grandfather he was on the railroad back in turn to the century and yes we're Tampa natives grandfather my dad myself I used to work at the old Lowry Park and Tampa and I went to work at the old Busch gardens My dad worked at the brewery then eventually me and my dad in the '80s both of us worked for Disney world and I opened the studios back in late '80s '89 I think it was
I live in satsuma fl the 3 buildings you seen in satsuma are going to be sold I am guessing the man that owned them passes he used to keep all that land from tge first building to the road where the train tracks are clean .. I have also lived in crescent city the China wok was a Hardee's back in the day it is still open the people who run it live inside I wouldn't eat there. The building that is city hall in crescent city used to be a old bank and the old bank that's abandoned used to be first federal bank the red brick building on the corner where the light is used to be a old jewelry story back when I was young crescent city was a busy little city it's a ghost town now it's not a place I would recommend anyone moving to it's a small town with big city crimes
Thank you for watching! instagram.com/tampajay
In Bunnell you could have gotten on the old section of Dixie Highway all brick road thru the woods.
The abandoned bar was called the White Eagle. It closed around 2016 or so. It was a fun biker bar with the best chicken wings.
Old Florida is the best
Hi Jay, the 2 valves at 31:35 are controls for the lift the truck is on and the other one on the ground. Much Ahead! .....Jim
That's the real Florida. Everyone always thinks the Beach. Thanks, TJ, for the tour
Really enjoy all of your vlogs, but the Old Florida ones are my favorites. Thanks. 👍
Thank you appreciate you

That is an old gas station and the proprietor lived upstairs very common back in the day. Keep up the great job Tampa.J we watch you all the time.

Thank you !
Thanks i enjoyed seeing Florida
Another great! roadside attraction video Jay always much ahead be safe out there .
Old/converted gas stations are my favorite roadside places. The car wash/laundromat at 10:05 looks like a former Phillips 66.
Keep showing the real Florida, the small towns,back roads and roadside attractions. Great videos.
Hills. Ah yes, I remember that store fondly. Loved shopping there back in the 80's.
That was great.Thanks for taking me on that trip with you.. Great video man.. Good job.. Keep up the.
Good work.. Great job.. It's just amazing how many older attractions and old Hotels and things like that disappeared in the last hundred years.. Again, thanks for taking me on the trip with U It was great. Until I see you in the next trip.Goodbye..👍🙏🙂
Thanks for more fun exploring Jay :) Keep up the great work
The roof on the roadside station in Seville collapsed the other day.

Your whole series on old towns etc is great. It's so cool what you find when you get off the big highways.
Very interesting - thanks for showing!
Just subbed!
HEY,.. JAY Ya ! Man Thanks for Doing another Abandoned Town's and Back Road video I Really enjoy These type of Video's That's What we use to Do back in our Younger Days Cruise the back Roads.
Well ok Take care and Stay safe 🙏
Those weren't gas shut offs for the gas station. Those levers were for the car lifts. Love your channel. Great job!!
Thank you
Very nice, good job

I miss driving fork lifts too Jay ✌️❤️
So much fun!

Mornin!!AWESOME!!
Well done.💯🔥💥
Once again, this made my Sunday! That lifted Ram still looked good and I could see why that gentleman was interested in that property!
Lots of TLC, but tons of potential to bring it back to life.
Thank you Jay! The first time I drove up 17 for work, I wanted to avoid I75... It did NOT disappoint!
GREAT 👍 VIDEO J̌AY...😊

Bunnell

Jay, Thank you for the video. I was following along via maps. Anticipated the 3 Bananas and Train tracks. Mrs. James

I looked up Sprague House to see the interior. So much history!
Hey Jay, I think those two levers you said were gas shutoff were the controls for the lift that dodge truck was on.
I think so too thanks my friend
Enjoy your videos
As always awesome
I just subscribed yesterday. Really like your channel. I love old Florida.
Thank you you’re welcome. Glad to have you here. Appreciate you.!
Man I love back roads & abandon places, specially you’re series in my home state of Florida, God I miss it so 🥺
Thanks, very informative
Great video, my friend! 😊
Stay safe. 🙏
Hugs 🤗
Dang-it! I still have not been to a Buc-ee's! 😢
Bunnell, Lived there in the 60's till I was 14yrs. old, been a lot of changes.

Should definitely eat at 3 bananas. Great food! Palmeras is good too.
Great video!
Thank you
Those things you said gas shut off work for the lift hydraulic air controls might’ve been a second one there somewhere
That makes way more sense thank you
White eagle bar only closed couple years ago
Thank you
Hey Tampa Jay! Come back to the Bunnell area and I would love to tag along and we can check out a few old places!! I live five minutes from the first house in this video.
Jay you need to get back to Crescent City in April for the Crescent City Catfish Festival. They have amazing food and the longest parade I've ever seen.
That sounds delicious thank you for letting me know. I’ll try to make it.
I wonder if anybody has taken a "bike down that sweet slide", ad Adam would say.
Tampa Jay I know you love the haunted themed stuff. Have you ever been to the Mansfield Reformatory? It’s where they filmed the Shawshank Redemption movie. If you ever get up this way it’s a must visit you won’t regret it!!
I just learned that there is also a Crescent City in California. :)
That restaurant was called The White Eagle it was there for a very long time they had live music Some Nights. And as a construction worker I used to eat lunch there several times a week I think the roundabout they built their may have killed the business but it may have closed before that I'm not sure I moved out of the area in the early 2010s
Your fav beaver ... I mean... Should be cristhegirl 😂💜💜💜💜💜 hehe
I was using an antanna 38 years ago!
I was just in Burnell yesterday when I picked up my two new baby kittens
Hills department store wasn't a northern thing only.. We had one in Chattanooga TN.
Hey TJ I love the old garage with dodge on the lift! I wonder if they were outdoor bays and hoist or there was an old structure that had fallen down around it ? Anyways sounds like ur dad’s truck had a 318. They came with a 225 slant six 318 and 360s. And 5.9 Cummins (around 89 or so ).
There’s a nice little bbq place right outside of Pierson about 25 minutes from there.
the levers outside are for the truck lift
Thank you
Bar was White Eagle a biker bar. Been there many times.
Jay you remember going down those metal slides and burning the back of your legs off during the summer 😂😂😂🦩🦩🦩
"This is why......I bought this car." 😂😂 nice
1stbro 😊
Car wash laundry that's pretty smart
Jay, I have never seen a heard of vultures like that in my life….except in movies & TV….but not like that.
Those aren't gas valves, they are air valves for the lift
those are controls for the lift
Seville. Thought about this place other day. When I was going college in Tallahassee in 70's meet uoing lady from Seville. Told her no such town. Found out it did exist
Jay those valves were to operate the lifts The list went up and down with air pressure
Count the shopping carts! 🛒 I’d stay at that old hotel though that the presidents stayed!
I live in crescent city lol
