0:22

0:35
Adam the woo here you think you would

0:50

0:53
mine used to be brown too and then what
0:57
happened it fell out
1:00
it's my second channel daily Vlog
1:01
channel
1:03
it's the daily woo shuttle man shuttle
1:07
man every day he's shuttling in that van
1:11
you know what that's what I should have
1:12
done with my former van could have
1:14
created a shuttle shuttl man business
1:17
sometimes when you see an empty lot like
1:19
this you might think it's always been
1:21
that way but in this instance there are
1:23
Clues designating that that's not true
1:26
there used to be a building here you can
1:28
see the rusted out
1:30
stairwell well it's not rust it's
1:32
actually a
1:34
foam type of creation you can see the
1:38
outline of the stairs they used to go up
1:41
the side so yes it has now been proven
1:45
there used to be a building here and you
1:46
can also see the rubble but I like to
1:48
find stuff like that it it's always fun
1:51
to find remnants the name of this town
1:53
is cooko remember the beach boy song A
1:56
Ruba Jamaica o I want to take it well
1:58
the Beach Boys made up the town of cooko
2:02
but in reality there is one that exists
2:05
here in Indiana and in this park is a
2:09
gorilla that I have affectionately
2:11
called what do you think I've named this
2:14
gorilla you've already named the gorilla
2:16
yes I named this gorilla and what do you
2:19
think what do you think I have named the
2:21
gorilla well I was not an earshot so I
2:24
don't know what you I have I haven't I
2:25
have not revealed it yet but we are in
2:28
the town of C so what would you think
2:31
the gorilla's name is Coco the gorilla
2:34
exactly am I good or what which is a
2:37
real gorilla so it's not the first
2:39
gorilla named cooko Coco but do you know
2:42
the significance of the real Coco the
2:46
gorilla who is still alive 45 years old
2:50
very well known for being doing one
2:52
certain thing that a gorilla normally
2:54
does not do do you know what that is I
2:56
do not
2:57
know not he never he never went on
3:00
Coco the gorilla not this Coco from
3:03
cooko Indiana but the real Coco the
3:07
gorilla was one of the first gorillas
3:09
that could read actual sign language
3:13
over 1,000 signs if someone was giving
3:16
sign language to the gorilla Coco the
3:20
gorilla would be able to understand
3:23
these signals and could
3:26
interact pretty incredible right the
3:29
real C not not I know you're very
3:31
confused the real Coco the gorilla how
3:34
would they
3:35
know that he was understanding
3:38
theage I don't know see right there he's
3:40
giving you the sign fist bump
3:47
him that was that was that was very
3:47
long- winded to get to that point but I
3:50
think we accomplished you did it well
3:51
you did it very well thank you thank you
4:04
right across the
4:06
street dad is enamored he's being pulled
4:10
into its tractor
4:12
beam the Coco mantis now I have to warn
4:15
you there may or may not be a legend
4:18
that if you look too intently in his
4:20
eyes you could turn to Stone wait that's
4:23
something no that that's a totally
4:25
different thing here's a question for
4:26
you though is it praying mantis as if it
4:30
is praying like on its knees praying to
4:33
the heavens or is it praying like it is
4:36
about to attack you and it's seeking its
4:38
prey oh it depends on whether you're a
4:40
human or you're a bug if you're a human
4:43
you can say it's a praying man just like
4:44
he's praying to the heavens but if
4:47
you're a bug he's definitely praying on
4:49
you cuz he's going to eat your Al so
4:50
watch out he's behind you he's behind
4:52
you this entire area is full of all kind
4:56
of creatures this it's a very Majestic
4:59
beautiful
5:00
horse here drawn on the wall plenty of
5:03
Transportation here as well and the
5:06
local newspaper is called The Herald
5:08
tucked away in this
5:11
alley is a little Thorofare leading to
5:14
the courthouse Straight Ahead the thing
5:16
I always find interesting are these
5:19
windows located here on the side of the
5:21
wall and there are artistic Renditions
5:26
peeking
5:27
out looking down into the alley
5:30
way prettyy cool looking you can faintly
5:33
see it but the words inscribed on the
5:35
water tower State cooko some of the
5:39
architecture downtown always fascinates
5:42
me what is more fascinating than that is
5:45
this burglar why would you give that
5:47
away why would you let the burglars know
5:49
where the alarm box is another
5:51
fascinating tidbit about cooko it was
5:54
the home of the very first car made in
5:58
America in 18 1994 invented by Elwood
6:02
Haynes this is just a recreation and
6:06
also of course James Dean born and lived
6:09
in Fairmount which is about an hour hour
6:11
and a half from cook some people call it
6:14
the city of first and one thing you will
6:17
notice not only about Indiana but also
6:19
Illinois anywhere in this General
6:21
Tri-State vicinity everyone Embraces
6:24
Lincoln that's that's supposed that's
6:26
Abraham Lincoln right am I correct a
6:27
young Lincoln do you know where Lincoln
6:28
was born he was born in Illinois born in
6:31
Kentucky see so I was so we got Illinois
6:35
Indiana and Kentucky everyone everyone
6:38
Embraces Mr Lincoln I definitely love
6:40
the way they have decorated
6:43
downtown perspective since
6:47
1989 that could possibly be the artistic
6:50
group that painted the side this mural
6:54
here on the wall this actual real door
6:56
has been converted into a car tun door
7:00
you can't go inside here cuz it's locked
7:03
but there is a mail slot but don't be
7:05
deceived that is by Me Knocking
7:08
someone's probably going to open the
7:09
door and wonder why I'm standing outside
7:13
oh check this out here is a modernday
7:17
newy we went to the play Yesterday
7:20
Newsies and that is a more current day
7:23
newsy a fun fact the first paying job I
7:26
ever had was working for this man
7:30
delivering newspapers chunking
7:32
newspapers window we were Newsies we
7:35
were in a way quarter it was really your
7:37
route I was very young we lived in
7:39
nville Florida how old do you think I
7:41
would have been around that time period
7:43
uh probably 10 maybe 10 11 years old we
7:46
got up at 3:00 in the morning yep give
7:47
or take an hour went and rolled the
7:49
papers you drove threw out your side of
7:52
the window and I threw out my side of
7:53
the window yep very little SLE sleep was
7:57
had speaking of Abraham Lincoln
8:00
he was actually born in Kentucky HJ say
8:03
Hodgenville Kentucky 1809 you don't
8:06
sound too confident well that's what
8:07
Google said there is no trolley here
8:09
these are actual train tracks that are
8:11
no longer in use that go straight
8:14
through they Kine through downtown and
8:16
even though the train is not operational
8:19
straight through here they still have
8:21
the tracks they have not removed them a
8:22
little remnant of the past and as you
8:25
follow them you can see where it even
8:27
gets more and more sidewalking if to use
8:31
that term this has not been this has not
8:34
been utilized in the train sense in
8:36
quite some time whatever you
8:39
do don't look
8:42
down the
8:43
bridge Still Remains and that is awesome
8:47
the
8:48
structure just rotting away under the
8:52
Indiana
9:01
Sky I love it I love this kind of stuff
9:01
even though it is slightly
9:03
terrifying that as you walk you could
9:07
plumet
9:08
down straight down into the
9:12
Ravine it's a little terrifying and the
9:15
further you
9:16
progress foliage starts to
9:21
abound and then it turns directly into a
9:25
dirt
9:26
track relics
9:29
of a different
9:32
time so awesome really not a whole heck
9:35
of a lot of graffiti etched on the side
9:38
except for this makeshift anarchy symbol
9:42
and the words Minor Threat gosh I love
9:44
that band We're Just A Minor Threat and
9:47
that's a promise all this walking around
9:49
has made me quite thirsty I'm going to
9:52
get a beverage at the coolest
9:54
convenience store here in town the story
9:57
book Express look at this place however
10:01
when you walk inside the theming does
10:03
not keep up with the outside appearance
10:07
it does not look like a fairy tale
10:10
inside here it looks basically like a
10:12
normal convenience door but from the
10:15
outside perspective it is
10:18
impressive most impressive I asked one
10:21
of the ladies working inside with the
10:22
backstory and history was and she didn't
10:25
really seem to know the only thing she
10:26
called this place was the Harry Potter
10:29
house house I can kind of see that I
10:31
could kind of see the resemblance I'm
10:32
guessing this entire property was
10:34
something else before the convenience
10:36
store took over even look at the fence
10:39
line all ornate and decorative except
10:43
someone has thrown a rock or a brick
10:46
through there
10:48
nonetheless very
10:50
beautiful very beautiful indeed if you
10:53
plugged your phone into the bottom of
10:55
that rocket it would blast off into the
10:58
stratosphere that's not someplace you
11:00
want to charge your phone because you
11:02
never see your phone again and there is
11:04
a bowling ball look there's a bowling
11:07
ball in the wall
11:10
itself you don't see that every day
11:12
around the backside I never noticed this
11:15
before but there is an inscription that
11:17
says enter into his courts with praise
11:21
you think maybe this was a
11:22
church an
11:25
unusual displayed church building at one
11:28
point
11:30
perhaps I am normally more of a regular
11:32
Mountain Dew kind of guy but today I'm
11:34
going code red and Dad going full Diet
11:38
Coke you you're a fan of the diet coke I
11:41
am the fan of the diet coke why do you
11:42
prefer the diet coke over normal I fell
11:44
for the very first advertising campaign
11:47
just for the taste of it so you like the
11:49
taste I love the it's not because it's
11:51
diet correct it's only so if you if you
11:54
had a Coke and a Diet Coke in front of
11:56
could you tell the difference I could
11:58
absolutely regular Coke is way too
12:00
sugary and syrupy Diet Coke is not so
12:03
much now see if I drink diet Mountain
12:05
Dew I prefer regular Mountain Dew
12:08
because Diet Mountain Dew to me does not
12:10
taste as good but you're completely the
12:12
opposite I am just for the taste just
12:14
for the taste
