0:32
just tast the water comes from the
0:33
ground just like just like in Alabama
0:34
it's out of the hot springs yeah and
0:36
they say due to the minerals and stuff
0:38
that it's really good for you these are
0:39

0:46
yeah wow they just line line the roads
0:49
all right have a great time enjoy thank
0:51
you I appreciate it be back have a good
1:05
I opted for the caramel latte remnants
1:05
of a simpler time when cigars were only
1:08
10 cents and you could park anywhere you
1:11
wanted now no parking this is why I
1:13
opted for an Uber and where there is
1:15
parking available I don't think I'd fit
1:17
in that parking garage just saying
1:20
supposedly they have the world's
1:21
shortest St Patrick's Day Parade here in
1:25
town and look who is the parade starter
1:28
Ric Flair himself
1:30
woo no relation or affiliation I assure
1:35
you check this out this rock is being
1:39
exposed underneath another rock right in
1:43
front of the historic Arlington Hotel is
1:46
a statue of a woman watering the
1:49
Woodland creatures giving them a little
1:51
bit of water you thirsty fella you
1:54
thirsty it's a good thing that she is
1:56
hydrating you correctly this child is
2:00
saying I want some mom please I want
2:03
some building is no longer in use but I
2:06
think it was an old hospital because
2:09
look at this this is the sign of the
2:11
medical profession and it has been
2:14
placed on the national register of
2:16
historic places take a look at it from
2:19
the
2:20
outside pretty cool fantastic neon
2:23
lettering here at the Aristocrat I think
2:26
it used to be a hotel now it's basically
2:29
apartment I bet some pretty famous faces
2:31
back in the day got dropped off right
2:33
here in this little circle
2:35
driveway safe to say a mural dedicated
2:39
to the trolleys that once Cruis down
2:43
these very streets and if you look
2:45
closely this horse is wearing a hat if
2:47
you're going to pull a cart why not wear
2:49
your Sunday's best except this guy all I
2:52
need is a pick and it that's the only
2:55
accessory I need I meant to say pickaxe
2:59
not pick but check this out most major
3:01
league players of the early 20th century
3:03
had few inhibitions and many enjoyed
3:06
gambling during training trips to Hot
3:08
Springs even the Great Bambino himself
3:10
wandering these very streets soaking and
3:13
sweating it up in one of these bath
3:15
houses smoking a stogy however if he was
3:18
here today he'd be very disappointed in
3:20
this sign push yourself kid I'm Babe
3:23
Ruth and all seriousness though that's
3:25
pretty awesome I love baseball I love
3:26
baseball history when I was in
3:28
California a friend of a friend of a
3:30
friend of a friend of a guy who knew
3:31
someone that owned a sports memorabilia
3:33
store let me hold in my hands a baseball
3:37
sign by the man himself the health
3:39
benefits of taking the bass were a
3:42
primary reason for baseball coming to
3:43
Hot Springs the players tended to drink
3:46
heavily and believe the hot bath
3:48
regiment could boil out the impurities
3:51
of their system I like this t-shirt
3:54
Arkansas very shady according to this
3:58
Rock Arkansas has a Walk of Fame
4:00
established in
4:03
1996 honoring different people who were
4:05
born here and made significant
4:08
contributions or are recognized National
4:11
I'm not sure what The Rock has to do
4:13
with it but I'm guessing the Walk of
4:14
Fame is here I did find this however in
4:18
1944 on this very spot Bill Bojangles
4:21
Robinson celebrated a 66th birthday tap
4:25
dancing down the road I knew a man
4:27
mojangles and he'll Dance For You wonder
4:30
if he was wearing worn out shoes I love
4:32
that song it looks like they have their
4:34
own version of San Francisco's painted
4:37
ladies up there on the hill and I'm now
4:38
realizing it's not just a clever name
4:41
look at the
4:43
steam coming off of that
4:45
water it's called hot springs for a
4:48
reason now for the real
4:50
test holy cow that is that is super
4:55
super warm I guess the real question is
4:57
do more people drink their water
4:59
lukewarm or do they put it in the
5:01
refrigerator and cool it before
5:03
consuming it here I wonder in 1927 us
5:07
park ranger James Alexander KY was
5:11
killed by
5:12
Bootleggers in the National Park he was
5:15
the very first National Park Service
5:17
Ranger to be
5:19
murdered in the line of duty even though
5:22
my vehicle is 12 ft and won't fit under
5:24
the 8T clearance they do have a free
5:27
parking area which is pretty awesome if
5:30
you're a tourist and you come down here
5:31
and there are restrooms over here which
5:34
are also free to use over there in the
5:36
corner and an overload of majestic
5:40
murals man look at these
5:42
leaves beautiful one of these days I'm
5:44
going to do one of these Duck Tours at a
5:46
location I'm at not today the weather's
5:47
kind of nasty but one day it will be
5:50
done this fascinating seeing that steam
5:54
just popping up out of the water like
5:55
that it reminds me of some bigger cities
5:58
in the winter when the steam
6:00
comes from the subway great I'm not
6:02
seeing anything that would resemble what
6:04
I know as a Walk of Fame however this
6:08
guy is just chilling
6:10
here what's up
6:12
buddy yeah not like Hollywood Walk of
6:16
Fame no stars on the ground if you peek
6:19
in this candy Shop's window there is
6:21
some delicious
6:23
popcorn with caramel flavoring just walk
6:27
away just walk away my time I've been to
6:30
a lot of wax museums a lot of them owned
6:33
by the tcad family Madam Tad Lou tcad
6:37
but I've never been in one started by
6:40
Josephine let's do it that's her that's
6:43
that's not the same as Madam Tad is it
6:45
different person right I'm very confused
6:49
starting off with Steve
6:51
McQueen himself walk up the
6:54
stairway of the
6:57
Stars here we go
7:00
even though I must take the stairs they
7:03
are on an
7:05
escalator they get to write on an
7:07
escalator the sign says this is
7:10
Elizabeth Taylor but there is no name
7:13
plate for this
7:15
gentleman Who Who Are You The Last
7:18
Supper has been depicted in many many
7:20
different ways I've never seen it with
7:23
name
7:24
plates in
7:27
front in front of the characters though
7:29
in the story of the Bible Judas the one
7:32
with the money bag was the one who
7:35
betrayed there's always One Bad Apple in
7:37
the group one guy you got to watch out
7:40
for he was the guy famous Renegade Jesse
7:43
James and don't forget his brother Frank
7:46
seriously Frank James you think there
7:49
was any weirdness between these siblings
7:51
just like Sylvester Sone and his brother
7:53
also named Frank is Frank always the
7:56
Lesser known brother we're now about to
7:57
enter the Chamber of Horror
7:59
and this is way too good to pass up are
8:02
you ready for
8:04
this
8:05
Hitchcock would be a r we even have
8:10
Frankie looming over there in the corner
8:13
and the Wolf Man and I'm not sure who he
8:16
is exactly but I do see Dracula peering
8:19
through the wall after further
8:21
examination that's the Hunchback in
8:23
Notre Dame you know I'm a terrific
8:25
surgeon I could do something about that
8:26
hump what hump oh my goodness this
8:30
is moderately disturbing holy cow
8:35
dedicated to torture this guy by ants
8:39
I'm not kidding there are ants crawling
8:41
on him and it's probably a good thing
8:43
it's kind of dark in here cuz this
8:45
guy is on something called an Algerian
8:49
hook you can't see the hook it's the
8:51
darkness you can thank me later let's
8:53
just take this visual in for a
8:57
moment that's a
8:59
pendulum
9:02
swinging over a person's
9:07
torso what the
9:10
heck we've now been taken back to Ford
9:13
Theater President Lincoln he never saw
9:15
it coming this symbolizes the discovery
9:18
of hot springs in
9:21
1541 people have thrown a lot of pennies
9:23
down into the Springs maybe that's good
9:25
luck and he got to hand it to doodo even
9:27
in his moment of excitement he's still
9:29
practicing his calisthenics no way no
9:33
way is that seriously Richard Nixon
9:37
right there that
9:39
is that's is that really Richard Nixon I
9:43
just want to stand here for a few
9:44
moments and bask in the glory of this
9:48
WOW sitting next to that tree is Orville
9:51
right if you put some snow on him you
9:53
totally have Jack Nicholson from The
9:55
Shining Danny
9:57
Danny no wax museum is complete without
10:01
a portrait of the king himself I do love
10:04
this guy we both share the same
10:06
birthplace down over the balcony is
10:09
Rumple stiltskin he's up to no good
10:11
that's Johnny Depp back there and that's
10:13
not the interesting thing they're
10:14
playing the soundtrack from the
10:15
Disneyland ride Pirates of the Caribbean
10:17
in here is that allowed let's see what
10:20
happens press and hold button there he
10:23
goes he's moving he's turning into a
10:26
real boy he's not really very he's not
10:28
very Lively but he is moving very slowly
10:33
Pinocchio he's he's very lethargic if
10:36
thinking that that creature is going to
10:37
jump out of that barrel and scare you is
10:39
not startling enough look at this what
10:42
what in the name of is happening with
10:45
their faces the Mad tea party is in full
10:48
effect and if you throw a quarter in it
10:51
goes to local charities the building is
10:52
located in used to be a casino out the
10:55
window you can see some remnants of it
10:57
and they have a little section dedicated
10:58
to Al Capone and some of the slot
11:01
machines and you can even see part of
11:03
the original wall
11:06
HiHo hi
11:08
ho hi ho hi ho it's through the wax
11:12
museum I go and for whatever reason I
11:14
don't seem to remember this particular
11:17
dwarf and it empties out into a gift
11:20
shop wait a second Justin scard that was
11:24
a lot of fun highly recommended to go
11:26
through there it's enjoyable to see how
11:28
each play each wax museum is different
11:32
than another one my personal opinion
11:34
Madam tuo the upper echelon is the best
11:38
wax museum as far as realism but it's
11:40
always fun to go through some of these
11:41
campy places and see the characters head
11:43
back down the road now see what else we
11:45
can find it's kind of a dreary day not a
11:48
lot of people out I'm noticing this
11:50
place the Galaxy connection has a lot of
11:53
Star Wars stuff in the window fun fact
11:56
years ago I used to have this Pepsi
11:59
cooler in my apartment in St Cloud
12:01
Florida I have a hunch this place is
12:04
going to be
12:12
amazing there's Yoda over there hanging
12:12
out next to Ben Kenobi's
12:15
gravestone and as you pan in have a Jawa
12:20

13:13

13:16

13:18
memories just seeing it be a Jedi you wi
13:22

13:45
place the store sold mostly newer Star
13:47

13:49
Museum area had a lot of really cool
13:51
vintage stuff I just noticed right here
13:53
behind this
13:55
fence is a fish's Bob big boy just
13:59
chilling up there oh there you are I was
14:01
wondering where all that racket was
14:03
coming
14:22
from when I was walking around that wax
14:22
museum
14:24
earlier it reminded me of a
14:27
joke that I made up years ago and I
14:30
would tell my
14:34
friends
14:34
basically there was this local bar and
14:37
at the corner of the local bar sitting
14:41
on the
14:42
edge of the stretch of the bar was this
14:46
crazy mutated dwarf that was always
14:50
there getting angry yelling and
14:52
screaming picking fights with everyone
14:55
well this group of gentlemen came in one
14:58
day and he started yelling at one of the
15:01
guys so these three or four young men
15:05
were like whoa we should go say
15:07
something to him we're going to go
15:09
confront this thing and give him a piece
15:12
of our mind he was sitting there in the
15:15
corner just pounding back booze just
15:18
doing shots one after the other and he
15:21
had this affinity for one certain liquor
15:24
that he loved to consume and as these
15:28
guys started to walk up to him to tell
15:31
him what they thought and to confront
15:33
him the
15:34
bartender put his hand on their
15:36
shoulders said do not touch him and they
15:39
said why who is he that's rle Min stilt
15:49
skin
15:49
Vlog over
