    Hi Joe & Audrey, I'm from the UK🇬🇧 and follow your channel religiously. I hold the USA 🇺🇸 close to my heart after numerous visits! If I had my time again, I would seriously consider a permanent move. I'd also like to tell you about my aunt who was also called Audrey, and lived in a lovely part of Massachusetts, called Marlborough. The name Audrey brings back the fondest of memories for me. Love watching and listening to your channel. Keep up the great work🇬🇧🇺🇲. A very Happy Birthday Audrey 🎂 X.

    Hi there, Joe & Audrey and Happy Birthday to you Audrey, too!!! I was just a kid in the 50’s and some sodas were still 5 cents when we could afford to splurge to buy them. Also, candy bar and ice cream cups with a wooden spoon were 5 cents. Some pieces of candy were just a penny! Nehi Pops had an amazing assortment of flavors in their unique shaped bottles!! Thanks for showing us around the Canton Trade Days, really mind-blowing experience!! Safe Travels!!!

    First off, Happy Birthday Audrey! Second off, I love your videos, especially the Texas ones. I spent a lot of time in small town Texas as a kid in the 70's and early 80's, including Wills Point. I was told that old theater was the longest running movie theater in the USA, who knows if that was true or not. I just remember being frustrated as a teenage punk rock skateboarder that there was almost no asphalt in that town! Brick streets, wood sidewalks, gravel roads....

And according to Mr. Google, a glass or bottle of Coke was held at 5 cents between 1886 and 1959! Nice towns. I could almost smell the food at that Flea Market.

    What a blessing for a man to have a charming daughter with a radiant smile. It's evident she's fond of her father and genuinely enjoyed a day out with him.
    Those wide brick roads in the center of Wills Point will never wear out since the friction they mainly get is from rolling rubber tires. Great investment by the town in 1922. I also found appealing the town's raised sidewalk with canopied store fronts the whole length, some wooden, propped by poles at the sidewalk's edge. Reminiscent of classic 19th c. Texas towns seen in pictures and movies. Grand Saline! Sitting on a subterranean mountain of salt big enough to provide the world's needs for 20,000. years. An amazing fact! Loved the story behind the 'sweetheart plot' and the marvelously carved headstones. East St. Louis? Right! I'll be there.

    American Travelogue: since we've tuned in to your ever-expanding series, we've noticed that frequently after a hard day of exploring historical highpoints a tumbler of Jack-on-Ice is chosen as a reward for the weary travellers. We got curious,,,travelled to the local dispensary and found said vessel of amber liquid in a 750ml quantity,,,escorted it home and married it with some glacial ice. Heavenly ambrosia to say the least. We are now amongst the legions of converted. Thank you!
