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 crown action there that corner
11:04 check this out legendary bluesman robert
11:07 johnson not only played music on this
11:11 corner but also passed away right in
11:14 this very spot Wow

11:20 this very store
11:22 this was his neighborhood best I can
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 there he is right here on the side of
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 maybe who built that set doesn't some of
12:44 the other things he did get the story
12:46 tells with John Hurt and labra David

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 somebody told me those were from the
