TheDailyWoo - 801 (9/10/14) Abandoned Hotel Grand

0:03 welcome everyone Adam the woo here

0:03 coming to you from Lake Wales which is

0:06 in Central Florida and once again I'm

0:08 here with Micah he was taking an

0:10 Instagram do your Instagram again take a

0:13 photo or a selfie is taking an Instagram

0:15 or is it a selfie judging by the water

0:18 tower right over here that says Lake

0:20 Wales yes we are in Lake Wales it's my

0:24 second channel daily blog channel it's

0:25 the daily woo Lake whales has some

0:28 pretty fascinating stuff we've been kind

0:29 of Roo around posting things on

0:31 Instagram and Twitter and other social

0:34 networks we went by the Chalet suzan

0:38 which is a really cool old historical

0:40 area where they used to have rich people

0:42 fly in and stay in this kind of little

0:44 Resort cool almost looks like something

0:46 out of like Wizard of Oz this little

0:47 like small everything there is small

0:51 which is very bizarre miniature I guess

0:53 not small miniature kind of reminds you

0:55 something out of like The Wizard of Oz

0:57 or something but that place closed so we

0:59 went took a look at that and then where

1:01 else did we go Spook Hill and we should

1:05 show them the shirts that we got see if

1:07 we we each bought a shirt for a steel

1:11 yes we bought t-shirts check it

1:15 out Spook Hill Elementary which is

1:19 actually the elementary school right

1:21 next to Spook Hill which is one of those

1:23 Hills that when you put your van or your

1:25 vehicle in neutral at the hill it looks

1:28 like the van is going going up it's an

1:30 optical illusion you can go over to my

1:32 Instagram and actually see the video

1:34 Adam the woo on Instagram of my van

1:37 going up a hill Spook Hill style also my

1:40 main Channel Adam the woo was actually

1:42 one of the very first videos I ever did

1:43 in 2010 late 2010 was from Spook Hill

1:47 and I had the same van even then so we

1:51 had us two grown men adults walking over

1:53 to Spook Hill Elementary we went into

1:55 the office and we said do you guys have

1:57 any t-shirts and they sold us those

1:59 t-shirts shirts take a guess how much

2:02 those shirts cost us you don't answer

2:04 because you know you should give the

2:06 answer for two shirts with tax how much

2:08 do we pay for two Spook Hill T-shirts

2:09 what would you

2:11 get what is that $81 yeah something like

2:14 that $12 we paid $6 each for two adult

2:18 large I'm a large are you a large I'm a

2:20 large so we both got two larges large

2:22 kids he got a black T-shirt I got a

2:24 green t-shirt which is in there you will

2:26 see later in future reference but now to

2:28 the point of the Vlog here in Lake Wales

2:31 check this out this is something out of

2:33 almost I'll just I'll just have you look

2:35 at it just look at it and you can

2:36 describe what it is prepare yourself for

2:39 the hotel Grand

2:45 sh that is awesome what would be your

2:48 first thoughts when witnessing this

2:50 after you get done taking an Instagram

2:52 photo of the hotel gram describe your

2:55 feelings on this magical creation I feel

2:58 like I just unlocked a door with a key

3:00 of imagination Twilight Zone reference

3:03 something like that or something on

3:05 early Tim Burton it looks like the Tower

3:07 of Terror could actually be up at the

3:09 very top of that but you will not be

3:12 actually going up there because you do

3:14 not need a felony n on your record and

3:16 according to this

3:18 sign statute

3:21 775.082 point8 4 I'm assuming that's a

3:25 felony trespass

3:31 statue and the last thing either one of

3:31 us need is a felony on our record but

3:33 this is really cool the Hotel Grand

3:35 built in

3:37 1927 do you remember what the actual

3:39 name of this place was before Hotel

3:46 Grand it was called the Dixie the Dixie

3:46 whales built the Dixie whales cuz we're

3:49 in Lake Wales and Dixie built Lake Wales

3:53 built this I don't know if that has

3:54 anything to do with anything but that's

3:57 basically what I'm assuming this is a

3:58 pretty fantastic build building there

4:00 have actually been people that have

4:01 gotten inside of there I am not one of

4:04 those lucky folk who have actually got

4:06 inside of the Hotel Grand it looks like

4:09 someone tried to break or something

4:11 knocked over the fence somebody yeah

4:13 somebody was trying to get a felony on

4:15 their

4:16 record but that obviously is not going

4:18 to be us sometimes I'll actually go into

4:21 places that you're not supposed to go

4:23 places that are abandoned this is not a

4:25 good idea however whenever there's a

4:27 sign that says restricted area and

4:30 felony

4:31 trespass with the statute number and you

4:34 see cameras and police presence driving

4:38 around not that I'm seeing any here at

4:40 the moment but that could be a police

4:42 officer that could be that little blue

4:44 car right there could be an officer of

4:46 the law so we definitely do not want to

4:49 take a chance the the law the

4:52 law so that's pretty cool look at this

4:57 everywhere yeah there's definitely

4:59 plenty of

5:07 signs that's because it's a construction

5:07 site the difference with trespassing

5:08 laws here in Florida I'm pretty sure

5:10 anywhere else is if it's a if it's a

5:13 construction area the definitely the

5:15 laws are a lot more harsh as far as

5:17 trespassing because it's a lot more

5:20 dangerous and there could be workers

5:21 inside even though right now I do not

5:23 see any workers inside of here but as

5:26 far back as I can remember coming out

5:28 here in the last four or 5 years to

5:30 check this place out there's always been

5:32 those same signs sidewalk

5:36 closed that's kind of weird it says

5:38 sidewalk closed but actually part of the

5:40 sidewalk is actually open it's open so I

5:43 don't know they I don't really know

5:44 which sign we're suppos see this says

5:46 felony trespass if you're over there but

5:48 it also says sidewalk close and we're

5:52 walking we're what was that the Boost

5:54 out front should have told us but which

5:57 side do you actually follow see it says

6:00 it says do not walk along here because

6:03 this is closed but obviously we're

6:05 walking on it so I'm very

6:08 confused but I'm also very bewildered at

6:11 the amazement look at

6:22 awesome whoa there is a

6:22 massive wasp nest up there do you see

6:25 that yeah oh my

6:27 gosh dude they

6:30 maybe that's why they have the no

6:32 trespassing signs up and this fence up

6:35 because if you were to get close enough

6:36 to that wasp

6:38 nest man it almost reminds me of my girl

6:41 when Thomas J was bitten by the bees

6:45 except we would be bitten by was also

6:47 speaking of Thomas J and Mig well kind

6:49 of in the area of a lot of the Mig girl

6:51 filming locations so we might actually

6:53 head over to Barto which is in this area

6:55 also and check out the funeral parlor

6:58 from my girl which I did a video Mig

7:00 girl filming locations I've done all

7:02 kind of videos I did Spook Hill did Mig

7:03 girl filming locations but I've never

7:05 done a video inside of here so we're

7:07 just kind of roaming around who knows

7:09 what we're going to do today what are we

7:11 what else are we going to get into today

7:12 any ideas he doesn't know no but we're

7:15 not going to get in here we're not going

7:16 to get in there so shed a tear if you

7:18 may which I don't know why I said that

7:20 it just sounded good we will not be

7:23 getting inside here even though those

7:27 open windows are calling us beckoning

7:30 beckoning us if you will all right so

7:32 basically roaming around central Florida

7:34 we're in Lake Wells currently but who

7:36 knows where we're going to be we might

7:38 go by

7:39 Lakeland over in Lakeland speaking of

7:41 other filming locations we might

7:43 actually go by Southgate Plaza which was

7:45 used in Edward Scissor Hands we're just

7:47 roaming all around the countryside of

7:49 Central Florida I've also done an Edward

7:51 Scissor Hands filming location video so

7:53 I'm just kind of going around reliving

7:55 memories of the past and the present for

7:58 serious ious inquiries hey we were

8:01 looking for houses last time that's true

8:04 but look you can actually email

8:07 them and you can actually get a small

8:11 Suite available at first I said it I

8:14 thought it said get a small suit

8:15 available suit but obviously if I was to

8:18 wear a suit looking at my frame and my

8:20 torso it would not be small it would be

8:24 large which is just like the shirt I

8:26 just purchased for six bucks there's GI

8:29 Pizza dollars I purchased a large

8:33 t-shirt that is

8:36 cool I definitely love this place if

8:38 you're ever in Lake Wales just look up

8:40 the Grand Hotel which is actually known

8:43 as Hotel Grand I'm speaking backwards

8:45 today it's the Hotel Grand which is

8:48 right here in downtown Lake whal I

8:50 should get far back so you can witness

8:53 the Majesty of this awesome building

8:57 really cool look look at that thing

9:00 looks like something out of a movie I'm

9:02 thinking Twilight Zone I don't know what

9:04 era of Cinema would have used this film

9:07 but basically something out of something

9:08 creepy or haunted or awesome this is
