TDW 1721 - Before The Internet and Interstates

0:02 ever since I was a kid living in

0:02 Oklahoma I've always had a fear of

0:05 tornadoes

0:06 being this just drives that point home a

0:11 little bit further that

0:15 is not good definitely not something you

0:18 want to be in the way of when it rolls

0:22 through

0:24 holy cow welcome everyone out of the

0:27 whoo hear nature certainly is a powerful

0:30 thing it's my second channel daily vlog

0:33 Channel it's the debut I'm currently on

0:37 highway 82 heading eastbound

0:40 I'm going to spend the majority of the

0:42 day pretty much on the same route I'll

0:45 be you're off a little bit here and

0:47 there that's the direction I'm having

0:50 straight I just noticed that off

0:53 parallel to the road are some railroad

0:56 tracks which is not unusual

0:58 the unusual thing is these look to be

1:01 non

1:02 operational anymore no better way to

1:06 find out then walking up and taking a

1:10 look

1:11 yeah

1:17 do not think these have been used in a

1:17 while sometimes you'll see a short

1:19 length of track that has been abandoned

1:23 but this is a very long long stretch

1:33 just left here

1:33 all the rail still intact I

1:48 will never be a trapeze artist at least

1:48 I

1:48 will never be a

1:51 really good one whoa oh

1:54 that section of track has a tree laying

1:58 in it a big log yep definitely hasn't

2:02 been used in a while filling up the tank

2:04 currently and I just noticed the sign

2:08 absolutely no checks taken without

2:10 approval first so you need to check if

2:14 they will accept your check you have to

2:17 check about the check

2:19 this joke is going nowhere and I got

2:22 myself a yoohoo in a can I could have

2:24 got it in a bottle but I opted for the

2:26 can whoa no way

2:29 sister Ruby reader and advisor

2:33 that's the same name from pee-wee's big

2:35 adventure you think after she gave

2:38 peewee to false information about the

2:41 basement being at the Alamo that she

2:44 hightailed it and changed your first

2:46 name from madam to sister

2:48 yeah probably not that's probably not

2:50 what happened but yeah it's fun to think

2:52 about you're in the market person Avon

2:54 that gas station they sell it to look

2:59 now if there's a pig

3:01 outside maybe it's a hog what's the

3:04 difference you know hog it away

3:07 I'm good wine

3:15 do not draw attention to yourself

3:15 warning keep out for your own safety the

3:18 city of Sylvester has deemed this area

3:22 restrictive but someone has made a

3:25 little makeshift skate park here which i

3:28 think is pretty cool this is one I have

3:31 rarely seen with this cartoon character

3:34 over on the side given the little the

3:38 little point with an explosion a lot of

3:41 thumbs up just a point with a explosion

3:45 oh my gosh I realize that this is for a

3:49 kid to sit on but that's moderately

3:53 terrifying for a child right imagine as

3:56 a youth sitting on that I would have

3:59 nightmares ten chocolate I really like

4:02 the logo on this former establishment

4:06 the fair

4:07 that is cool the old movie theater

4:11 pretty sure it probably only had one

4:13 screen not even big enough what

4:15 widthwise for a twin son of us in 1959

4:20 after many years of service this part of

4:22 the train was placed here locals refer

4:24 to it as the little engine that could

4:27 and now it rests under this awning I'm

4:31 also curious what is this guy hauling at

4:34 the light back there what is on his

4:37 flatbed

4:39 what the heck these

4:42 what are those

4:51 I wonder what region he's going to I

4:51 wonder what region

4:54 advantage coexist type of playground

4:57 equipment you rarely see anymore the

4:59 metal Teeter totters and slides the

5:02 swings over there without swings just

5:05 the bar itself these bleachers are

5:09 completely overgrown with trees okay I'm

5:12 curious I'm very

5:14 curious what is a possum poke - they

5:18 actually poke opossum this

5:20 is interesting the farmland here looks

5:24 like the rows of crops have something

5:27 over the top of it to shield it from the

5:30 elements perhaps maybe to keep it from

5:32 the cold I think what I'm guessing it's

5:35 not uncommon to see old buildings

5:38 falling into disrepair on the side of

5:41 the road but it is rare when they have

5:43 the old plantation style pillars left

5:47 out here it looks like it was a very

5:48 vast

5:50 homestead even the trees have these

5:53 bricks around them in the planter and

5:56 down there are more pillars someone

6:00 worked very hard on this at one point

6:03 this is their dream house I wonder what

6:07 happened to

6:08 get to this point I imagine it was a

6:11 pretty sweet pad back in the day we're

6:13 now entering the city limits of TyTy

6:16 that's right py

6:19 here's the water tower up there

6:22 signifying the name there are a couple

6:25 buildings

6:27 the old downtown the cleaners

6:30 next to it can't tell what this was but

6:34 heavily graffiti on the side even a

6:37 little mural on the side and Oasis if

6:41 you will nestled among and underneath

6:43 all this pine straw is the Dwight D

6:47 Eisenhower memorial gardens and the end

6:51 of the pathway is a statue and a bust of

6:55 the former president and for those that

6:57 might not know he was a man who helped

7:00 start the internet I just say it I miss

7:04 Interstate interstates not internet says

7:08 yeah maybe he does wisdom and foresight

7:11 launched the interstate system not

7:14 internet in America the greatest

7:17 transportation miracle I can't believe I

7:19 can't believe I got those two plays

7:21 confused and around the back of the

7:22 property is the Georgia Museum of

7:24 Agriculture and historical village this

7:27 miniature train was built in 1924 and

7:31 I'm inside the building now a lot of

7:35 cool stuff in here some statues of

7:37 horses an old mail cart

7:41 some steam engines

7:44 this big log I am being invited to touch

7:50 the cotton a tall man it was really soft

7:54 I almost want to just like lay my head

7:57 down in there take a little nap just a

7:58 second ago I turned this corner this guy

8:01 startled the crud out of me oh no I feel

8:05 bad for this guy he's just like stuck in

8:07 that little cave there

8:09 why is he in that now walking into the

8:13 tobacco house

8:15 and I guess this that's what tobacco

8:19 looks like in the raw form inside the

8:22 curing room it has to be a certain

8:24 temperature when you hang the tobacco

8:26 from the roof it's all done inside a

8:30 shed like this one I

8:32 hear someone singing over here

8:41 the woodworkers quarters

8:46 after a hard day at work

8:49 where you ladies had to rest I guess at

8:53 one time gum turpentine was very popular

8:55 enough in fact that they had their own

8:59 calendar girls and look at this here's a

9:02 photo of a bunch of them in their

9:05 swimsuits and that's one of their

9:08 garments right there behind this glass

9:16 an egg he's an egg

9:20 holding an egg losing oh that's right no

10:25 kind of distracting for the school kids
