    This entire scene is how I imagined America to be, as a child in 1980s SE London. Everything so sunny, shiny and like you must feel as if you live in a movie.

    the fact that Pizza Hut brought back the nostalgia with the Classic locations, is just so amazing! Unbeatable aesthetics! Those red cups are so iconic! What a perfect day with all the beautiful Smoky Mountains scenery, and cool dams! So peaceful, and relaxing. Epic adventure. Love the Taco Bell too.

    My father and brother hiked the Appalachian trail in 1986 from Georgia to maine. My father was 60, and my brother was 26. It was what my father wanted to do after he retired. My brother went on to hike the continental divide trail and the pacific crest trail.

    Love the Super Supreme pizza at our local boring store ...they tore down all the originals here in Michigan but their bread sticks are always like cardboard and boring...
    Love the Smoky Mountains and everything about them...favorite area is Pigeon Forge where we always plan ahead and rent a cabin for a week...we love that but last time we stayed up high on mountain and we had to park sideways in order for our truck not to roll away even with the parking brake on ...treacherous way to park our truck

    I loved the whole video. I loved the 80s pizza hut and it's iconic lights above the boots, the mountains, the rivers, and the scenery. It's wild to think that 129 is also US19! I live right on 19 in palm harbor.

    Pizza Pete is the name of the mascot. It was so cool to see the classic Pizza Hut. Sadly, no locations out this way. I'll need to plan a road trip to check out a classic location.

    There was one in Zephyrhills when I first moved to Florida in 2015, it lasted I think until right before the pandemic, but now it’s gone….The Stain-glass lights, the red cups, the checkered tablecloth, all very nostalgic to me, don’t forget a Pac-Man game near the bathrooms!
    Although I think their pizza has changed, sometimes you’ll get a good pan pizza, my favorite is to get one and watch an old movie like ET or Goonies, that is the best! I’ll be doing that soon 🍕🎥🍿🥤

    Love that area of the Smoky mtns! I’ve visited the Fontana damn area a couple times growing up in the late 80’s and 90’s, beautiful area! Done some hiking on the Appalachian trail near there and rented a pontoon boat one summer with my buddies parents super fun cruisin around and fishing on Fontana lake! If I ever left the mtns of Colorado I’d move back east to that area somewhere or north of there such a cool area👍

    The cartoon man in question was named Pizza Pete and he sported a large cowboy hat as a chef's hat, a mustache, neckerchief, and an apron.
    This cute little guy was the logo that came with everyone's pizza from 1958 all the way until 1969 when the chain adopted the red roof logo that's still seen with the chain today. While paper goods, such as cups and napkins, still featured the original logo into the 1970s, they're considered to be collectible memorabilia from the chain now.

    TJ, thanks for the video. This is one of my most favorite places in North America. I am constantly amazed by the endless volume of crystal clear water that flows downhill -- both east and west. If you ever get the chance, drive the Tail Of The Dragon from Deals to Townsend on a rainy day. The lack of traffic will be a blessing after BBQ lunch at Deals. The rainy day of my trip had us stopped for a while near Townsend while downed trees were removed from the roadway.
