    I live within a stone's throw of Perrysburg, Ohio. Yes. Same Oliver Hazard Perry.
    There's a wonderful monument to Commander Perry and that famous 1813 Battle of Lake Erie on an island in Lake Erie. You can take an elevator to the top of the structure and look out over the lake for miles! (Nice ferry rides to get to/from the mainland as well.)
    Oliver was only 26 years old when he led his troops to victory. He was a brilliant guy and a charismatic leader as well. If he had messed up his job on managing that naval battle back in the day, I would be eating crumpets and drinking tea in 2022 instead of enjoying Tim Horton's Coffee and donuts! (Well, now that I think of it, I guess I could be drinking Tim Horton's no matter who won, since they're a Canadian company...)

    The building with the duck on it is probably listed on the Roadside Architecture website, though I don't know that for sure. That town is bigger and more spread out than I expected.
    The turtle sculpture at 14:22 looked like a snapper to me. At 14:57 when Melody walked into the camera view and Shane said "and here comes Melody", I was expecting him to say "here comes the beautiful Melody", but he didn't. That wasn't nice of him 😁 Nice truss bridge there. I'm always happy to see Melody's smile. Just sayin'.
    Nice to see that town looking and doing so well. Down in Salem County, NJ which is mostly farms, the county seat is Salem City, which is in decline because the glass plant closed. There are a lot of open pit sand mines all over the southern counties of NJ, but for some reason some of the glass plants either have closed or the companies moved the factories elsewhere.
    I was following John Shneider on RUclips for a while, but lost track of him. Well maybe it was Facebook. Anyway, he mentioned a Hazzard-fest somewhere, and it sounded like a lot of fun. I always lived the show. So that Hazard,, KY looks like a real nice place. I enjoyed this video.

I am totally with you on recommending a week day visit to the monument and museum, especially if you have kids. On weekends the atmosphere is not what a lot of people would regard as family friendly. Sad... because it wasn't always that way. I'm not sure when it became "the thing" to go to the islands and get wasted. And I have to admit I don't quite see the point. Most of those folks could drink themselves unconscious right at home in the comfort of their own basements for a lot less money, no?! 😀

    The connection between Dukes of Hazzard and Hazard Ky is the creator of the show was from Lennoxburg Ky. He grew up around moonshiner and wrote/directed the Movie Moonrunners. When asked to create a show based off Moonrunners he created Dukes of Hazzard. He got the fictional town name from a gym bag of someone who was from Hazard Ky. He added the second z and boom you got Hazzard County. The Dukes cast came to Hazard Ky in 1981 for the Black Gold festival. A est of 100,000 people showed up. They got the keys to Hazard and were made Ky Col. James Best ( Sheriff Rosco)met his brother he hadn't seen since he was adopted. Been to Hazard a few time. A truly lovely place with great people.

Just across the road from the Goose House was a restaurant/nightclub called the Colonial Club. My teenage sisters worked there in the 1940s. They were underage but since the guy who ran the place was a cousin, no one seemed to notice. My Uncle Justus Begley was Sheriff of Perry County in the early 1930s, and another uncle, Crit Begley was on the Hazard Police force. A great video guys!

    Hey Melody and Shane! This one was wonderful! It brought back a lot of memories. Many years ago my friend and I drove down thru Va, WVa, NC, TN and on to Ky! We took the longest, most round about way, stopped to visit friends and family then drove on to Harlan, Hazard then on to Benham, with lots of stops in between. It was a great adventure. My husbands surname was Benham and the town supposedly was named after kin-but who knows? The odd thing is, we were planning to reprise our trip…43 years on.
    Shane; I’ve got one for you. When Melody mentioned the Broken Spoke Lounge, it made me think of a terrific band from Austin, TX called…the Broken Spokes! You seem to love classic country (me too) and these guys (and gal) fit that to a T. Their music is reminiscent of Bob Wills, “The King of Western Swing” 🙂. 😊You can find them here on RUclips.

So many happy friendly kids playing in the streets and nothing but smiles and waves as we tried to navigate the narrow streets. My grandparents are from Jeremiah where will be exploring tomorrow and trying to locate our ancestoral homes and cemeteries. It's my first trip since I was a young child and it's been wonderful so far. We are eating at Circle T tomorrow morning by recommendation.

    My hometown! The structure you didn’t know what it was at the north end
    Of town was actually a swinging bridge which led to the L&N railroad yards. That was the only way to get to
    The yards for many years. It was torn down a Few years ago. The first time you drove down Main Street, you ran a stop
    Sign. You should have gone into Peoples Bank, it’s a gorgeous building. The building in Lovell St. With the porch was actually a hospital at one time, called Hurst Snyder. You made a good video, just wish it was longer.
