TDW 1592 - Dillinger's Fake Jailbreak Weapon

0:07 scary

0:07 chair it's a ghost chair

0:41 it's a very rainy day check this house

0:41 out it's pretty incredible looking like

0:44 something out of a movie and the windows

0:46 if you look closely are stained glass I

0:50 love this this old 1970 sign dangling

0:54 there beer liquor and

1:01 wine old school this is basically the

1:01 midwestern version of the

1:05 pyramids but it's used for grain I think

1:07 that's what it is intended for oh bless

1:11 you truck

1:13 stop bless

1:15 you oh that's good welcome everyone Adam

1:19 the woo here leaving Central Indiana now

1:23 heading

1:24 Northbound it was nice hanging out with

1:26 my sister for a few days and her dogs

1:29 kind of enjoyed enjoyable relaxing for a

1:32 bit hanging out with family is always

1:34 good but the road beckons I must move on

1:38 carry on on this journey of life that I

1:42 have created for myself here on my

1:45 second channel daily Vlog Channel The

1:52 Daily

1:52 woo look at the water over

1:55 there swampy Mucky crud

2:00 I wonder if the Swamp Thing Lives in

2:03 there gets his arm ripped off and it

2:06 grows back like a twig if we were in an

2:09 action film right now there would be

2:11 some kind of shootout near these tanks

2:14 and they would

2:15 explode in glory small town fire

2:19 trucks right there look at this old

2:22 truck and there's Woody from Toy Story

2:25 in the back of it with a lasso not a

2:27 whole lot of people on this road

2:30 I guess you could say this is what they

2:32 would call The Road Less

2:36 Traveled all by

2:39 myself just cruising

2:59 along looks like there's some sort of

2:59 Road close closure right

3:01 here got to find another

3:03 way detour welcome to the Crown Point

3:07 historic district and right as you are

3:12 crossing that threshold is the old jail

3:16 here in town that has a very cool

3:19 history the building gained National

3:21 interest when Public Enemy Number One

3:24 John Dillinger escaped from it in 1934

3:28 he took a piece of wood whittel it down

3:31 to where it looked like it was the shape

3:32 of a gun put it in his pocket like so

3:37 and that is what prompted the Escape if

3:39 you peek in one of the windows you can

3:41 see an old newspaper article about the

3:45 event unfortunately the door is locked

3:48 and no entry can be

3:58 gained the Old Courthouse here in town

3:58 it's pretty Majestic looking and out in

4:00 front they have the Ten Commandments

4:02 carved in stone which is interesting

4:04 because when I was in Denver I noticed

4:06 their Courthouse also had the Ten

4:09 Commandments I've never really paid

4:10 attention but do all cour houses have

4:13 that out front and I must say I really

4:16 enjoy the way this old movie theater

4:18 looks the Crown Theater and look there's

4:21 even there's even a crown embedded in

4:24 the wall it's no longer opened but they

4:26 still have the old school ticket booth

4:31 with the register with the buttons right

4:33 there these are very

4:35 interesting types of

4:52 patunas and inside the courthouse just

4:52 so happens to be a John Dillinger Museum

4:57 and it says crime doesn't pay

5:00 but it charges admission

5:10 $4 we're going

5:10 in they have a recreation of what the

5:13 electric chair here look like and there

5:16 was a guy by the name of Bruno

5:19 hoptman in

5:22 1936 I'm assuming his

5:25 demise was felt in that chair and the

5:28 guards to keep him from giving them the

5:31 middle finger they have

5:36 removed they've removed it that's

5:38 actually not factual I just made that up

5:40 but it seemed very interesting here's

5:42 John Dillinger's baseball

5:45 shoes from 1922 preserved in this glass

5:48 box this is a guy named Homer Van Meter

5:52 who was a close friend and

5:54 colleague of Dillinger and when asked if

5:58 he liked helping commit crimes he gave a

6:01 hearty thumbs up once Dillinger's style

6:04 of robbing a bank became famous other

6:06 people tried to emulate his style but

6:10 one thing he did that others didn't was

6:13 he used a saxophone case to carry his

6:17 guns and that my friends is his actual

6:22 case a lot of TV shows and movies will

6:24 use a violin case with a gangster

6:26 carrying it with their guns in it it all

6:28 started because he really used a

6:31 saxophone case and it just evolved to a

6:34 violin case inside here is what is known

6:37 as a Tommy Gun it could shoot up to 600

6:40 rounds in a minute because of the

6:43 Dillinger gang the Indianapolis Police

6:45 started to install a lot of bulletproof

6:48 glass and this is how thick that

6:51 bulletproof glass is and you can see one

6:54 of them tried to get through there and

6:57 didn't make it here's just an example of

6:59 the Arsenal that they would have used

7:02 for their

7:03 robberies for a while he carried a lucky

7:06 rabbit's foot but then he decided he was

7:09 no longer lucky and he gave it away to a

7:12 reporter and they just so happened to

7:14 have it right here that's it his lucky

7:18 rabbit's

7:20 foot that's pretty

7:28 cool and the most fascinating thing for

7:31 me anyway is the fact that they have

7:34 that wooden gun that he carved himself

7:38 they have it here in the courthouse

7:41 Museum there's a picture of him holding

7:44 it right there along with a real gun but

7:47 that's it that is freaking amazing as

7:51 Dillinger exited a movie theater in

7:53 Chicago he was killed and they have a

7:56 display here and if you press this

7:58 button you can see the death

8:07 alley and there he

8:07 is the interesting thing is I was at the

8:11 exact spot that happened less than a few

8:14 weeks ago this is also very interesting

8:17 this is the original headstone from his

8:20 grave in Indianapolis you will also

8:23 remember a few months ago if you dig

8:25 back I went to where the new gravestone

8:28 is and there is a lot of controversy on

8:31 whether Dillinger is really buried there

8:35 or not these are the exact pair of pants

8:39 that he was

8:40 wearing in that alley that

8:43 night it's pretty wild it is a very

8:46 popular practice to make a death mask

8:49 from those who live on in infamy and

8:52 John Dillinger probably is the most

8:54 popular one because there are a lot of

8:58 his death masks around

9:11 I like how they have

9:11 recreated the

9:13 Marquee as

9:29 well in my travels over the years I've

9:29 come across a few unusual trees and

9:31 fences that are festooned with shoes and

9:36 in Indiana they have something similar

9:38 to that but get rid of the tree get rid

9:41 of the fence here it is called the shoe

9:45 Corner or in this case the shoe

9:48 Corners plural for no apparent real

9:51 reason there are hundreds of shoes per

9:56 week scattered not only in the road but

9:59 in the grass and in these corn fields on

10:03 all four corners of this intersection it

10:06 is rumored that once a week the shoes

10:08 are cleaned up and discarded of so that

10:11 means all these accumulate every 7even

10:14 days it is not uncommon to see shoes

10:16 dangling from electrical wires but

10:19 rarely will you see a site like this

10:22 where they are scattered and strewn all

10:26 over the road

10:38 seen a lot of unusual things in my day

10:38 that is freaking weird wow that place

10:41 that place must be a lot of fun look at

10:43 this little

10:44 guy it's like a miniature Volkswagen

10:51 bus that's not full

10:52 size looks like it's only maybe 7 8 ft

10:55 long

10:58 tops kind of I like it do they really

11:01 have the coldest beer in

11:03 town was there a poll was there a

11:07 newspaper article confirming this fact

11:10 stopped off at the Lake County

11:11 Interstate visitors information

11:14 center look how crazy this rest stop is

11:18 very futuristic looking but as

11:20 futuristic as it is there is an air of

11:25 nostalgia because the kid from Christmas

11:28 Story has his tongue stuck to the flag

11:33 pole this is nothing come on guys let

11:36 this be a lesson to you anytime anyone

11:39 Triple Dog dares you to do something you

11:42 might want to think twice you got to

11:44 wonder how long he's been stuck to that

11:47 pole kind of reminds me of Dumb and

11:49 Dumber also you wouldn't happen to have

11:51 a bucket of warm water would you and it

11:53 looks like inside they are preparing a

11:56 real life Christmas Story event

11:59 that will be happening in a couple weeks

12:02 there it is

12:17 Illinois

12:18 whoa must be Bert Reynolds or something
