1:09
around with Todd Todd Venture I'm
1:11
inviting you to join me shall you nail
1:15
it and just to give a general layout of
1:17
the land looking at the atlas here so
1:19
right next to the co bottom of the
1:20
coffee cup where my sunglasses are
1:24
pointing the tip of it starting off in
1:28
Gastonia and I believe we're just going
1:30
to kind of go over here there's
1:31
Cramerton there's Belmont so we're just
1:33
going to kind of go around in this area
1:35
and just see what can be seen no real
1:37
Rhyme or Reason or game plan just some
1:40
back roads and small
1:42
towns pretty good coffee too I took a SI
1:45
pretty tasty all right arrived at Front
1:47
Street in what's the name of this town
1:49
Cramerton this is Cramerton Front Street
1:52
you know what this kind of reminds me
1:53
I've seen the videos of the what they
1:55
call it the corkscrew Bridge or the can
1:57
opener Bridge can opener bridge is this
1:59
is this a can opener Bridge would that
2:01
be actually the can opener bridge I
2:03
think is 11 ft oh sot tall this one's 13
2:06
so it's a little bit higher okay that's
2:09
what it reminds me of yeah it does and
2:11
there's a railroad railroad tracks that
2:13
go right above this all right down here
2:15
is some water going down the drain
2:16
there's also a Surfing Goat right there
2:19
it says only rain down the drain and
2:23
more on the goat painting there because
2:26
there's an island right across from town
2:30
with a bridge and the name of the island
2:32
is Goat Island we're going to walk over
2:35
there and the nickname it gets is khaki
2:38
town and the reason it's given that
2:39
nickname is because all of these
2:42
uniforms were made here and shipped over
2:44
to the Troops isn't that interesting all
2:47
right here in Cramerton this little town
2:50
is where all the uniforms came
2:52
from genuine Cramerton right
2:56
there take a look at that this is the
2:59
downtown stretch post office there zip
3:02
code
3:04
2832 and right here next to the very
3:06
retro well not retro but Art Deco fire
3:10
department is another painting here next
3:13
to the drains some of them will say only
3:15
water they don't want you to O that wind
3:17
is little bit of wind chill little bit
3:19
of wind chill roll through here but the
3:21
ones that do say only water in the
3:23
drains I think they're referring to
3:25
Cousin Eddie you don't want to you don't
3:27
want to empty your RV tank in here like
3:29
cousin Edie
3:31
bad that would be that would not be good
3:33
in fact this right here this fish has an
3:34
umbrella and it has all the the garbage
3:37
getting toss so don't don't put your
3:38
garbage down in the drain don't be a
3:40
cousin is about cleanliness and
3:44
innocence and just keep your streets
3:48
clean that's the Cramerton motto I guess
3:50
I just made that you paraphrase it yeah
3:53
so back in the
3:55
day a lot of the Mills would uh Supply
3:58
their you know the homes for the workers
3:59
these are Old Mill homes Old Mill homes
4:02
and for the families cuz they they work
4:06
long hours and especially during uh
4:09
times where they uh people would need
4:12
them to make certain clothing like the
4:14
Twill that you saw uh so the mill
4:17
workers would leave live in these Mill
4:19
homes they' walk me walking distance
4:21
from where they worked you know and then
4:23
they'd Supply the like right here if you
4:25
turn around and you'll see the
4:27
pharmacy they get their grocery trees
4:30
are there Sundrop from this gentleman
4:32
here I don't know if he was born back
4:33
then there's two Sundrop machines
4:36
Sundrop is made in North Carolina yes it
4:37
is did you bring your canoe no I think
4:39
we're going to have to swim it we're
4:42
going to have to swim that and we're
4:43
going to swim it swim
4:50
it no they got a bridge convenient
4:50
bridge for can you imagine how cold it
4:52
would be if we swam across there yeah it
4:54
wouldn't be good yeah you probably
4:55
wouldn't this would be your last video
4:57
can youe imagine
5:00
that's good all right Goat Island now
5:03
the goose is walking away from Goat
5:05
Island Goat Island that goose walking up
5:07
the side of the BM there any
5:10
recollection or information on why it's
5:12
called Goat Island terrible there's a
5:14
history believe it or not about this
5:17
area there was a great flood okay that
5:20
came through here I want to say 1912 or
5:22
1916 one of those but I'm wondering if
5:25
they were there and there was a farm and
5:27
it got swept away oh so the goats went
5:29
Downstream they may went downstream and
5:31
started their own thing up up their own
5:34
goat Colony goat Colony up north it
5:36
looks like it's flooded a little bit too
5:38
the river's a little higher up because
5:39
these stairs are covered up yep it meets
5:42
on both sides what does it meet up to
5:46
the main it's like Kataba Kataba itaba
5:49
River yeah it's Kataba River and it
5:51
splits okay down here so it kind of goes
5:54
in a circle goes in a circle and thens
5:56
again on the other side of of the island
5:58
and over there is a little gazebo and
6:00
that's where we just were with the the
6:02
mural was over there and you can sit
6:05
down here with your coffee in your
6:06
rocking chair yeah that's nice and enjoy
6:09
the river it's a very muddy river I
6:11
notice the rivers in North Carolina are
6:12
very muddy at that we're famous for that
6:14
clay that orang CL back in there so Todd
6:18
was just telling me that sometimes
6:20
during torrential rains even modern day
6:23
this will be completely covered you
6:24
can't even you can't even walk around in
6:26
here there's just so much water you
6:28
can't even see the ground
6:31
yeah I could see how the river would
6:32
kind of flood up over this that's why
6:34
the goats congregated elsewhere but at
6:37
least at least the island is named after
6:39
the goat so they got they got that at
6:40
least all right there's that goat in the
6:43
canoe and you can see the stream it's
6:45
nothing too powerful but there's a leaf
6:49
or something going by
6:50
there there's another Leaf going by the
6:54
Goat Island Pier now you brought me over
6:57
here because I said there's something
6:58
you want to show it over here it looks
7:01
like you're going to
7:03
Hogwarts there's the regular bridge for
7:05
the cars now be on that bridge oh that
7:08
trussle that trussle oh wow wa the
7:11
thing's huge it sure is it might be
7:14
might be might be tun three tunnels but
7:16
we're here in Goat Island we're checking
7:18
out the uh trussle over here the bridge
7:20
get closer to remind you of the the
7:23
Potter bridge where the jackaby train
7:26
goes to and do you follow any of the
7:27
folklore of Harry Potter do you know
7:29
what you know know what house you are
7:30
yes what house are you I'm Hufflepuff
7:32
and my wife is too we did the thing you
7:34
did the you did the Sorting Hat we did
7:35
the Sorting Hat and we're both
7:37
Hufflepuff I'm a Ravenclaw you're a
7:39
Ravenclaw
7:40
Ravenclaw yeah I wanted to be Slytherin
7:43
but I was chosen as a RAV as a Ravenclaw
7:45
you get a shave too I think I have to
7:46
shave to be Slytherin yeah so got look
7:49
that you know like you know think of
7:50
Voldemort you know but Raven Claus could
7:52
have a beard but redclaw have beard oh
7:54
yeah I'm just making that oh you're
7:57
making that up I almost fell for it
8:06
is that what hufflepuffs do yeah we we
8:06
kind of what just kid people yeah and
8:10
nervously just look
8:13
around all right now this is a legit can
8:18
opener Bridge 10
8:20
ft this car obviously way less than 10
8:23
ft but if a truck well a truck would
8:25
even be able to go through here 10
8:28
ft the size of a basketball cour see
8:31
that truck lower than 10 ft but that's
8:33
like slam dunking a basketball so you
8:35
figure an
8:37
18-wheeler yeah this is definitely a can
8:40
opener more the other one was 13 ft this
8:42
is only 10 this is definitely a can
8:44
opener bridge and you can tell where
8:46
they hit the top there you can see it
8:48
yeah you look at
8:50
the sure is look at that wow that's
8:53
where they smack the heck out of it look
8:55
at that even underneath the bridge right
8:57
here sure is they made it past the first
9:00
stage in the year and that was it just
9:02
got stuck right there just shredded the
9:05
whole top of it it looks recent look at
9:07
the how fres that right
9:09
there wow that has got to be a jarring
9:12
experience for a truck
9:19
driver yeah both sides
9:19
yeah pretty good both sides looks like
9:22
they had something here kind of warn you
9:24
that even whatever they had there right
9:26
came off that looks like a looks like a
9:30
lightsaber handle yeah it does it does
9:32
kind of right yeah I haven't seen a
9:34
train the whole time we've been around
9:35
this
9:36
area maybe there's not train come by
9:39
maybe there's not one running today you
9:41
never know or later maybe later today
9:43
once we get out of this town there'll
9:45
probably be seven of them yes that's
9:47
usually how it works yeah but each Town
9:49
we're going in has a train track in oh
9:51
they're all train towns yeah so this
9:53
train we're going to go to Belmont this
9:55
track goes right into Belmont have made
9:57
it over to Belmont you notice the newer
10:00
train station there is now used as a
10:02
restaurant and these tracks are no
10:06
longer quite
10:08
operational we don't have to worry about
10:10
a train we have to we're not going to
10:11
have a standby me moment unless they're
10:13
doing a DeLorean test we can have a Back
10:16
to the Future in the Back To The Future
10:17
Three moment we may have to run if we
10:20
see a DeLorean coming down the track or
10:22
maybe even docks train that is very
10:25
possible yeah weird things have happened
10:27
in the Carolinas
10:29
there's my shadow to give a
10:32
wave this what you call this the train
10:34
switcher I think a switch Yeah Yeah
10:36
switch track right there I don't want to
10:39
get too close to that I I don't even
10:40
want to walk near that to be honest with
10:51
you there right there throw the switch
10:51
track pull it into the
10:55
station yeah so right there if the train
10:58
was coming right now did I startle you
11:00
huh did I startle you I was doing my Doc
11:02
Brown pull it into the station check
11:05
pants you check you check your pants
11:07
you're
11:07
good and there's a water tower pulling
11:11
into the
11:13
station my do BR sounds more like
11:15
Seinfeld and from this angle going to go
11:17
into the historic district and the
11:19
entire downtown of Belmont is on the
11:21
national register of historic places you
11:22
can see how some a lot of these older
11:24
buildings are converted into new
11:25
establishments like this Brewery
11:29
so I just learned something new this
11:31
restaurant NSK is owned by who the Jonas
11:35
brothers parents own it oh so they're
11:38
from this area I I don't think I don't
11:39
know if they're from this area I know
11:41
they live here in the area and it's
11:42
Nelly's Southern Kitchen that's what the
11:46
NS yeah that's a fun fact and right here
11:50
on Main
11:52
Street is the city hall look at this
11:55
beauty oh I see a Coca-Cola mural down
11:58
there we're going to have to walk down
12:00
there and take a look at that all the
12:01
way down there at the end of that
12:03
incline got the inscription there Bank
12:05
of
12:06
Belmont this has seen some years this
12:09
building I'm still on the fence whether
12:11
that's a newer mural they painted within
12:13
the last couple decades or one from way
12:16
back in the day however this one I am
12:18
convinced is from way back in the day
12:21
you can even see slightly faded there
12:23
says Belmont and there are three at
12:26
least three different faces up there on
12:30
mural but it's very faded
12:40
out tough to make out who the people are
12:40
painted on this wall 59 or something it
12:42
looks like a 59% or some kind of number
12:46
so they were advertisements here along
12:47
this side too yeah a ghost side that's
12:50
what they call those really that's a
12:52
technical term I've been told I didn't
12:54
know that because you could kind they're
12:55
kind of like haunting you from the past
12:59
right from the side of the wall I think
13:01
it's a good term I just learned that
13:03
recently the last the last month or so
13:06
and here's the former Depot that is now
13:09
a bike shop he was just telling
13:15
me says
13:15
pedmont and Northern Railway Pont and
13:19
Northern r y what's the r r y stand for
13:23
that's a good question Rail Yard rail
13:26
Rail Yard it's kind of nice have this
13:27
little Community as definitely utilize
13:31
some of the old buildings very thriving
13:33
which you don't see in a lot of small
13:35
towns the old Belmont jailhouse Circa
13:38
that says 1969 on the side I would have
13:40
guessed it would have been a lot older
13:42
than that the
13:43
windows oh yeah this is definitely has
13:46
to be older than 1969 oh yeah you think
13:49
maybe that's when that's when they they
13:51
put the restaurant into it that's
13:53
probably when they did the when they
13:54
repurpose it in there see look at the
13:57
the bars I don't bars being on these
14:01
window I we just doing a lot of movie
14:03
quotes yeah look at
14:10
this and then down here there's this
14:10
little Al Cove area going down to the
14:13
cells that's a very unique
14:16
architecture very unique also here in
14:19
town is this Antique Mall underneath the
14:21
water tower going to stop in here for a
14:25

15:35
antique Relic now over here in another
15:37
parking lot overlooking the lake which
15:39

15:43
information about the water came all the

apart going through a what looks to be
16:24
an old Dairy Queen parking lot it's now
16:26
called Pelican snow cones
16:30
it kind of looks like a either Dairy
16:32
Queen or in California this could have
16:33
been a Fosters freeze course they didn't
16:36
have they don't have Fosters freeze in
16:37
North Carolina but that's what it looks
16:39

earlier yeah it's the fifth and they
17:01
still have some Christmas lights along
17:05
the side there there's a Floyd's Bakery
17:08
right there there is a looks like a old
17:10
five and dime this is the corner of
17:13
Maine and Elm Street yeah this
17:15
definitely dates back to the golden AA
17:18
preg Golden
17:20
Era not sure maybe around the front
17:22
there'll be a clue of what this was but
17:24
I don't see a par okay it says Maden
17:27
Memorial Hall yeah r y Maden Memorial
17:31
Hall right there yeah I love the windows
17:33
look at this rail yard too Rail Yard
17:35
Rail Yard M okay Rail Yard mad Memorial
17:38
Hall oh yeah they're using it as like an
17:39
art studio of sorts oh there's a plaque
17:42
right there I can't I'm trying to make
17:43
it out library and public hall Library
17:47
okay right up there library and public
17:49
hall above the door front
17:51
1867 that's when it was built
17:53
Incorporated in
17:58
1965 it's a magnolia I think it's it's a
17:59
magnolia now does this usually have like
18:01
a not pine cones but a pine cone S type
18:05
of obviously not a pine conb but that's
18:07
just the closest similarity I could
18:09
think to what grows on the branches okay
18:11
this is what drops from the tree let me
18:14
take a look little B it's not really a
18:15
pine cone no but they're like they have
18:18
seeds in them and stuff yeah very I'm so
18:20
it's winter time so they've all kind of
18:22
fallen down around here what would that
18:25
be called a pod maybe a pod Maybe
18:28
something like that a pod because it
18:30
would carry a bunch of seeds and they
18:31
would come out pop the top off yeah
18:34
break
18:35
it
18:53
fireplace here it is right here ulog
18:53
ceremonial
19:00
fireplace ceremonial fire so yeah this
19:00
is like I think they burned this at the
19:03
beginning of Christmas season oh okay
19:05
they so when they they get ready for
19:07
this kind of kicks off the holidays yeah
19:09
they put the U log in there and I'm not
19:11
sure but I'm almost thinking they keep
19:13
it burning during the Christmas season
19:15
if they can all right this is really
19:18
fascinating this propeller is one of two
19:21
that powered the turbines at the
19:22
historic textile here in town and back
19:26
in
19:27
1884 look who was here in McAdenville
19:31
that came to oversee the
19:34
process Thomas Edison
19:37
himself was here in town back in
19:40
1884 at the Mill at the Old
19:44
Mill placing one of these two propellers
19:48
that that kind of blows your mind a
19:50
little bit yeah when you see Thomas as a
19:52
name on anything it's especially knowing
19:55
that he was in this town in this town
19:57
supervising that yeah pretty amazing and
19:59
here's the town hall building across the
20:01
way and the bell leading into
20:03
McAdenville corner of Maine and popper
20:06
yeah better say this might have been a
20:07
church building at one point before the
20:09
Town Hall that's what it looks like let
20:11
me just kind of try to zoom in on this
20:13
Pew still yeah the pews are still
20:20
in oh here we go yeah look got the same
20:20
glass right back there are you seeing
20:22
something that gives a little info on it
20:24
mville United Methodist Church oh was a
20:27
Methodist Church yeah
20:32
1882 local Methodist worshipers
20:33
separated from the community okay so
20:35
before it was the town hall it was the
20:38
United methodists the McShane Bell dated
20:43
1892 got uh kind of a rusted out now it
20:48
won't it won't ring have to wonder if it
20:50
was up there in that Bell
20:52
Tower maybe it's like a
20:56
lighthouse do you see it on the old
20:58
photo
20:59
well there's Bell Tower from Wonder I
21:01
bet you it was in there but it was in
21:03
the bell tower so it's from the yeah cuz
21:05
it 1892 right yep so it have been two
21:08
this is 1890 maybe 2 years later they
21:10
put it up in that Bell Tower it sounds
21:12
about right to me I pulled over here at
21:15
this what used to be a family video
21:17
store now I've seen a few of these in
21:20
recent years open still in the state of
21:24
Indiana and as we were driving by I said
21:26
we got to pull over I got to show this I
21:28
thought maybe it'd be open but it
21:30
appears as if this one has closed now
21:32
there's a pizza place next to it called
21:35
Marcos Pizza which appears to still be
21:38
open attached to the video store and
21:41
this is kind of this this Relic here
21:44
with the the
21:46
glass leeding its way all the way up to
21:48
the top there very unique looking but
21:51
yeah
21:52
Family Video was a video store up until
21:55
very recently it's possible the ones in
21:58
have closed too haven't been back
22:00
through there in a while you can see
22:03
oh it's
22:11
open I was not expecting that to be
22:11
open
22:13
wow now these doors aren't open yeah
22:16
these doors are locked but the front
22:18
little foyer was unlocked I was not
22:20
expecting that ceiling fans are on in
22:23
there maybe they're doing some work
22:26
here's the video returns slot
22:36
here and could this be open no that's
22:36
locked oh look over here is the Marcos
22:41
Pizza you have like a little order booth
22:44
there where it says order here and you
22:47
would get a little takeout from Marco's
22:49
Pizza which is still open next door I
22:51
didn't expect this to be open no and you
22:53
get the drop off B still there and you
22:55
you you I heard your excitement yes from
22:58
your vehicle I was
23:00
emanating that energy some excitement as
23:03
we found this these aren't open though
23:05
no so this is a chain also this pizza
23:07
place yeah yeah you don't see much of
23:10
Marco's Pizza they're kind of on the way
23:11
out too this one's open it's still open
23:14
yeah you the birds are chilling out in
23:16
the the window there there and oh yeah
23:18
the little bird nest in the A and both
23:20
the A's y the A's and the O's arrived in
23:23
Mount Holly now Mount Hollywood Vint I
23:26
see what they did there Holly Hollywood
23:28
it's kind of a nice little little combo
23:30
of words there this also this little
23:32
stretch is on the national register of
23:34
historic places as well and here's a
23:37
skeleton up on top of the summit here
23:39
this was dated 1927 the Sumi building Su
23:43
mme y this is a place called The Vintage
23:47
Nest almost looks like it could have
23:48
been an old movie theater yeah possibly
23:51
it's like the the structure of a movie
23:54
theater style you can almost picture the
23:55
Marquee there the brick going around oh
23:58
this one here the yoga place yeah and it
24:01
has that's probably where that's where
24:02
the Marquee used to be you think this
24:03
was the movie theater the middle one I
24:04
was thinking more like this oh no this
24:07
one here but mid what Marquee was there
24:09
yoga if we walk around the back we
24:11
probably get a better clue yeah I'm
24:12
going to say yes look at the size of
24:14
this building it's huge this had to have
24:15
been a movie theater do you know what
24:17
this was at one time I don't I'm sorry
24:19
don't okay thanks I'm just going on I'm
24:21
just going to go out on the limb cuz
24:23
there's a limb right there I'm going to
24:24
go out on a limb and say that this was
24:25
the movie theater all right went ahead
24:27
and went inside kind of pointing at the
24:28
back here it's all been completely
24:30
renovated but talked to the people
24:31
working and they said it was in fact a
24:33
movie theater with a screen back in the
24:35
back and then towards the front up at
24:37
the front top portion before the where
24:39
the entry doors are is where the
24:41
projection booth was so confirmed and
24:43
the employees also mentioned that it was
24:44
a movie theater first and then became a
24:46
department store and they renovated the
24:48
front before it went on the National
24:50
Registry so this is one of the few
24:52
buildings on this stretch which is not
24:54
on the National Registry everything to
24:56
the side of it is but the old theater
24:59
isn't because it was an apartment store
25:01
and they would have to make the front of
25:02
it look like it did back in the movie
25:04
theater days kind of interesting how all
25:06
that works and I like this a lot look at
25:08

29:25
Company here and there's a little kind
29:28
of a movie Tie little Hollywood history
29:30
tied into this talk about in a minute

now if you've ever seen which I think
29:35
most people have Terminator 2 the trucks
29:39
used in that movie were produced and
29:42
created right here so the scene where
29:45
where Onie that's ride come
29:48
on is chasing John Conor on the
29:50
motorcycle through the little the ditch
29:53
and the truck goes off so that truck
29:55
would have been made right here on this
29:56
property yep and if you watch the
29:58
credits at the end of the movie it says
30:01
Mount Holly Freightliner it would say
30:03
around the credits so if I watch the
30:04
credits at the end of T2 yep I will see
30:08
Mount Holly and Freightliner listed in
30:10
there listed on there exactly that is
30:12
really cool yep that's right come on I'm
30:16

31:03

31:06

31:25

31:31
momento right here it's the real thing
31:34

31:37

even have a year oh yeah this says okay
32:00
this is new new this is by Boyce McKenna
32:04

32:07
was retouched right this looks like a
32:10
classic though probably was just
32:11
retouched up it's beautiful and if it's
32:14
new that's a really that's a really dang
32:15
good job of making it look old timey
32:18
yeah it is color is popping instead of a
32:22
cap yeah wearing a a bottle cap it's a
32:26
real cap not a not a baseball Style cap
32:28
but a bottle style cap he got the he's
32:30
got the Sprite hair and it's not the one
32:32
from the bottle cuz the bottle has a cap
32:34
so that's another one he already
32:35
consumed
32:37
one that was a big one if you consume
32:40
that's that is cool yeah I can tell in
32:43
his eyes he's had two many has had one
32:45
too many pop too many pops too many pops
32:47
going on yeah he's saying wait do you
32:49
call it pop or do you call it soda pop
32:51
or do you call it Ora it depends on my
32:53
mood at the time um I'll say pop and
32:56
soda pop depends if I had a Pepsi
32:59
so I think a pop I think a soda
33:02
Pinsky what soda Pinsky oh yeah yes he
33:06

best I was born in 74 oh okay what year
33:21
were you born 66 you're a few years
33:23
older than I and it's funny cuz there's
33:26
one bamboo out here
33:28
that is the leader it'll take it out
33:33
interesting yeah stting to one
33:37
culture it so if you find the main
33:41
bamboo yeah species that's that's not
33:44
the right word the bambo the mother of
33:45
the bamboo and you eliminate that then
33:47
all the other bamboo around it will just
33:50
go away right and that's that's the hard
33:52
part is finding which one is the other
33:53
someone has thrown a drawer down here
33:56
some sort of a shelf unit
33:58
it's turning into like a little
34:00
makeshift garbage dump down here what or
34:03
it just rolled off on its own accord
