0:37
changes texture
0:39

0:42
today number three of an eight part
0:44

0:47
deep into the back roads off the beaten
0:50
path the road less traveled if you will
0:59
let's get in there I'm inviting you to
0:59
join me there's a mosquito or there's a
1:01
mosquito on my ear shall you by using
1:05
this road Atlas can give you a general
1:07
overview entering right over here and
1:13
gonna cruise through the nooks and
1:15
crannies of the centralized area and
1:18
then later on this evening
1:20
and up right over in this section
1:57
sometimes just natural sounds do the
1:57
trick lots of birds
2:10
it's very rusted out but there's a regal
2:10
beer sign and above it is a child's
2:14
automobile perched on the roof one thing
2:20
I really enjoy when I travel are
2:22
advertising campaigns left on the side
2:24
of bricks fading away this coca-cola and
2:27
there's even a sprite one there on the
2:30
left
2:30
Lauderdale Springs is the site of a
2:33
hospital where 1020 CSAs and 80 Union
2:38
men were wounded and laid to rest
2:47
learn a lot from these historical
2:47
markers that haze doesn't seem to be one
2:55
to go away just looming are you guys up
3:04
to any plans anything you're looking
3:13
forward to throughout the course of the
3:15
near future
3:26
says scuba SC oo
3:26
ba I would imagine at one point all
3:31
these buildings were connected creating
3:33
the entire strip of downtown the Town
3:36
Hall adjacent to the Medical Center it
3:40
looks as if the door is wide open seems
3:46
completely safe yeah this is not how
3:50
horror films start in any way shape or
3:55
form
3:56
in fact right next door the vines are
4:00
taking over look behind the glass
4:03
they're growing up from the earth trying
4:07
to escape the vines dicta to da da da da
4:10
ones even starting to crack oh my gosh
4:14
it's busting through 10:00 to turn pitch
4:17
it to the vines
4:52
yes you're in the shot you're in the
4:52
shot it's a video bomb you made it
5:36
pulled in this driveway I don't know if
5:36
I want to go any closer I'm not sure
5:37
someone lives here or not but I was
5:40
deceived by that Walmart logo written on
5:45
the side except one Elvis two L's wal
5:53
Walmart
5:53
I don't know if I've ever seen traffic
5:55
instructions quite like this before this
5:58
is speed limit sign slow to 45 whoa I
6:14
don't know how fast they were going but
6:14
I hope it was 45 we're down to slow in
6:19
front of this storage unit facility is a
6:22
big piece of granite petrified wood
6:30
on the ground and another one just
6:30
hanging from a chain its dangling in the
6:33
air like an old swing set that they
6:39
dismantled the portions of it just hung
6:42
the rock from it this tank sits in front
6:46
of the National Guard organization
7:05
that is a really bizarre piece of
7:05
playground equipment it's like a
7:08
spaceship pod from another planet but
7:11
made for made for a park a couple dogs
7:17
here garden this old store there's a
7:21
property owner behind it I'm assuming
7:24
that's their dogs
7:28
doing a good job they can carry this
7:31
place probably seen and have lots of
7:35
memories back when this was a thriving
7:39
storefront right
7:54
serious cloud formations
7:54
right there behind that water tower
8:04
off to the side of this route pulled
8:04
over because I noticed this signage that
8:08
states Oprah Winfrey Road I guess up
8:11
that hill is what they're referring to
8:13
this confirms that it is the Oprah that
8:16
we are thinking of On January 29 1954
8:19
she was born in a wood frame house
8:21
located on the site within walking
8:24
distance is the church where she made
8:26
her first appearance in an Easter
8:28
recital if I turn just this way just a
8:31
bit you can see that church right over
8:35
there
8:50
first faced an audience here when they
8:50
phrase it that way kind of sounds kind
8:52
of scary scared you know what
9:05
just a single yellow blinking light for
9:05
the traffic signal no red or green just
9:09
blinking yellow a very cozy looking City
9:14
Hall portions of the building built in
9:18
1890 according to the date stamp at the
9:20
top
9:27
don't worry I'm not stopping just
9:27
passing by continue along cows sometimes
9:33
you just got to pause and refresh I'm
9:36
saying that because it's it's right
9:38
there on the side of the wall but it's
9:40
also a very true statement it's not just
9:42
coke but also something called double
9:44
Cola here at the forefront of this
9:46
alleyway
9:47
you can still see where the gas pump was
9:49
and between those two pillars put
9:51
converted to a snow cone stand Memphis
9:54
Train is parked here but the name of the
9:56
town is Wynonna as documented there
10:00
just below the roofline on the train
10:02
station progressed a couple dozen miles
10:05
away standing under this epic tree and
10:09
Carrollton also a place that you can get
10:13
a bed and a coffin in the same spot in
10:17
the same store
10:33
back when a lot of these were painted on
10:33
people that have the wherewithal to put
10:35
a an inscription or a date in the bottom
10:39
corner kind of wish they did that we
10:40
know exactly when it was placed here but
10:44
this thing's this thing's old see how
10:46
faded it is
11:00
here in Greenwood a little RC Cola royal
11:00

11:26
tell I love these old bridges this might
11:33
be the first one on this trip that I've
11:34
gone under or over
11:45
this place is a serious treasure trove
11:45
of classic vehicles
11:59
more than a handful behind that fence
11:59
line
12:20
pretty dang cool the birthplace of
12:20
Kermit the Frog here in Leland
12:28

12:28
this building this is a gift from Jane
12:32
Henson and that is a replica the uping
12:35
stain from the original Muppet movie and
12:37
it was made especially for us by the
12:40
people that made the sect of the month
12:42

12:44

13:01
kids from FAO Schwartz and they came
13:04
with the head and the directions to
13:06
dress them and whatnot and put their
13:08
faces out the way he wanted them to and
13:12
