hello
0:02
there look into my
0:17
them all right that's enough welcome
0:17
everyone Adam the woo here trying to
0:18
figure out who this
0:21
statue and this bust head is of this
0:27
person from a distance it kind of looks
0:28
like Abraham Lincoln but that is not
0:30
Abraham Lincoln maybe Joel right here
0:34
can share some knowledge you have any
0:36
idea who this is Adam no idea no idea
0:40
either so maybe you guys at the
0:43
beginning of this Vlog can figure out
0:45
either by Googling it or maybe you know
0:48
who this statue of I do not think that
0:51
is the US President Abraham Lincoln but
0:54
it does look like him and it is a very
0:56
Abraham lincol is pose where are we Joel
1:00
Chattanooga chuch Chu we at the
1:02
Chattanooga Chuchu judging by this sign
1:05
right here the Chattanooga Chuchu hotel
1:08
and vacation complex which was
1:11
originally called what was it originally
1:14
called Chattanooga Terminal Station the
1:15
Chattanooga Terminal Station but after
1:19
it became a hotel and you can actually
1:21
sleep I think you can actually sleep in
1:23
the actual
1:24
trains themselves I am not staying here
1:27
however you ever actually stayed here I
1:30
I've never actually stayed here I've
1:31
seen the inside of them because I've
1:33
come to a lot of things down here but
1:34
I've never actually stayed inside of
1:35
them it would be very awesome I do not
1:37
know what the price ratio would be to
1:39
stay in there but I got this for a
1:42
dollar look at this it's the Chattanooga
1:44
Cho Choo water I'm not sure if this was
1:48
actually made on the train itself or it
1:51
just has a sticker of the Chattanooga
1:54
Choo Cho but there it is right there the
1:56
Chattanooga Choo Chu so you would
1:59
consider yourself a bit of a music
2:02
expert right somewhat correct because I
2:04
think you're actually your Instagram has
2:07
music in there correctly Jo Beaver music
2:09
so you have a website oh yeah Joel
2:10
beaver.com Joel beaver.com and it's
2:14
based on music you're a musician I am so
2:17
share a little music knowledge with us
2:19
about the Chattanooga cho cho all right
2:21
Chattanooga Cho Chu um well of course
2:24
it's originally called a Terminal
2:25
Station well they turned this into a
2:27
hotel back in the early '70s I believe
2:30
they named it after The Glenn Miller
2:32
song Chad n Chuchu which is pretty much
2:34
the most the famous song and that's why
2:36
where we get the name the
2:38
Chattanooga Cho
2:40
Chu there's a lot of really cool stuff
2:43
here in the courtyard there's a lot of
2:44
really cool stuff here in this bottle
2:47
but we have tickets you have your ticket
2:50
right there and I have my ticket right
2:52
here model railroad railro I can't talk
2:56
it's very chilly out here rail
3:00
Road adult I was going to try to get the
3:03
child's price but they did not go for
3:05
that I do not look like I'm under the
3:06
age of 12 so I got the adult ticket
3:10
right here we're going to go up an
3:11
elevator a very creepy old elevator oh
3:13
it's creepy I've never been up there
3:15
before you've been up there we're going
3:16
to
3:17
goed elev the haunted
3:21
Chattanooga Choo Cho look at this
3:25
guy give us our
3:28
fortunes whoa
3:30
well there's a railroad right there that
3:32
just honked at us and here's the Zar
3:35
machine which is similar to the one in
3:37
the movie Big the Tom Hanks movie so if
3:39
they thinking big didn't they call it
3:41
the
3:42
Zan probably for legal reasons not to
3:44
get sued by Zar you do not want a crazy
3:48
psychic Zar taking you to court what are
3:52
you waiting for come on over for a small
3:55
fee Zar will give you a wealth of wisdom
4:00
a wealth of wisdom all right but to get
4:04
the wealth of wisdom later it's time to
4:06
go up and take a look at the model
4:09
railroad upstairs thank you very much
4:12
you're
4:13
welcome I think they just went to the
4:16
model railroad they could have probably
4:17
shared some in wealth of knowledge just
4:19
like zultar could have here's some old
4:22
pictures
4:23
here the old cho cho trains southern
4:26
train line look at this this is like a
4:29
window here
4:30
that you would walk up and purchase a
4:33
ticket that in years there's rooseville
4:37
here wow yeah there he
4:40
is FDR
4:42
himself 1940
4:45
wow so you would think they would have a
4:47
statue of Roosevelt out there so I'm
4:49
still curious who the gentleman was at
4:52
the beginning of the Vlog the Station
4:55
House is right
4:58
there that's right were saying the
5:00
Station House is on its way out
5:02
unfortunately yeah so what are they
5:03
going to put in the Station House Comedy
5:04
Catch so they're getting rid of the
5:06
Station House which has a historical
5:09
background with music singing waiters
5:11
singing waiters and waitresses so
5:14
getting rid of that and putting in a
5:15
comedy club and they should get R get
5:18
rid I should say of this this is a
5:21
technology that went away many moons ago
5:26
even though there are a lot of good
5:27
movies on VHS you can't get on DVD
5:29
however
5:30
they probably do not play them in that
5:33
particular VHS player welcome to the
5:37
town hall theater and the model railroad
5:40
display you want to do the honors and
5:43
take us
5:51
up hope all right it's kind of sketchy
5:51
though it's sketchy hopefully when they
5:54
do the remodel that they be part of
5:56
they're going to remodel this place oh
5:59
yeah there we go all right let's do
6:03
this which level are we going to
6:06

6:09

6:13
an elevator with the water that I have
6:15

6:19
motivated before we head
6:27

6:27
go model railroad that way Choo Cho elf
6:32
Workshop a lot of history
6:41
here look at this that's
6:41
cool there train coming right for us
6:44
here stand over there there's a train
6:47
there's a train coming for
6:50
us do it
6:52
again oh man that train almost mowed us
6:56
down luckily I was hydrated enough to
6:59
Dodge that train bullet a self-guided
7:03
tour this is usually where we're at take
7:05
the brochure you put your ticket in here
7:08
okay so we put our ticket in there guess
7:09
I work here now there's no one here so
7:12
if anyone asks we have purchased the
7:14
tickets we're putting them in there and
7:17
then you take a souvenir red one oh take
7:21
a souvenir red one here's yours that you
7:23
can keep with you and here's mine I will
7:25
have this in my possession a little M
7:29
moment
7:30
oh look at this here's actually a pencil
7:33
I don't know if that's a proper number
7:36
two pencil what's the differ between a
7:37
number two and a number one pencil why
7:40
in school do they always say you must
7:42
use a number two
7:44
pencil do kids even use number two
7:46
pencils anymore that was a big deal when
7:50
I was a kid the number two pictures you
7:53
know what the most exciting thing is a
7:55
lot of places do not want you filming
7:57
but this place says take all the
8:00
pictures you like I do not have this
8:03
Canon camera I do have a Canon Rebel
8:07
that I used to my main Channel videos
8:09
similar to this one except mine is not
8:13
XSI all I have is my iPhone so we're
8:17
just going to do the best with the
8:18
iPhone all right prepare yourself now
8:22
for this
8:33
this is a massive model railroad now I
8:33
heard this is one of the biggest model
8:35
railroads miniature model rail roads in
8:38
the world can you chime in on that fun
8:40
fact if it's true I've heard if it's a
8:42
myth I believe it is yeah here's a
8:45
scavenger hunt you could actually find
8:48
all the different areas of Chattanooga
8:51
that they've actually put in here
8:52
starting with Lookout Mountain I'm
8:54
guessing that right there is probably
8:57
Lookout Mountain that would be the
8:58
obvious but where are all these other
9:00
things the incline railroad the
9:02
Chattanooga chuch Chu station the lumber
9:04
yard the railroad yard all the way down
9:07
look Elvis in his pink Cadillac Elvis in
9:11
his pink Cadillac that's the one we're
9:14
going to be looking for Elvis in so if
9:16
you see Elvis in his pink Cadillac for
9:19
you don't say anything but show me where
9:22
it is and see if anyone notice his
9:25
Elvis in his pink Cadillac line you can
9:29
make it
9:30
okay what does it do I think this is
9:31
just just the trolley oh it runs the
9:33
trolley I'm going to go up top here look
9:35
at these they have these little areas
9:37
here where you can actually see better
9:39
you walk up tall I'm already kind of
9:41
tall but I'm going to be even
9:50
taller that building right there is on
9:50
fire look at
10:00
that very detailed
10:00
very awesome very
10:02
massive look at this it was $5 to get in
10:06
here actually Feast your eyes on
10:09
something of this magnitude for only $5
10:12

10:14
deal and I got this water for only a
10:17
dollar a little souvenir as
10:29
well where do you see the Cho you right
10:30

10:51
here and look at the train
11:03

11:03
Train Chattanooga Choo Choo you should
11:06

11:18
wish we could get in there but we're on
11:21
the outside we're on the viewership
11:23
point he's at the area there doing some
11:26
behind the
11:27
scenes oh that lights up
11:29
no right
11:30
behind remember what I said earlier what
11:33
we were looking for does anyone see
11:35
Elvis in his pink Cadillac don't give it
11:38
away but if you see it just nod your
11:41
head
12:01
yes I didn't see it I know you said it
12:01
was there but I simply just did not see
12:04
Elvis in his pink catara
12:17
pool look at that pool full of people
12:17
swimming and there seems to be some sort
12:19
of a sea
12:20
creature it's either it's it's like on
12:23
top of the water like it's like trying
12:24
to do a belly flop but it slid across
12:28
the top of the water here's some
12:42
dinosaurs this is really awesome it's a
12:42
recreation not only of the railroad but
12:45
also of Chattanooga itself which is
12:47
actually really really
12:58
cool oh look there's the incline
12:58
Railroad Road right over there it's
13:01
actually an attraction here in town you
13:02
pay a few dollars and you ride the
13:04
inclined railroad to the top of Lookout
13:06
Mountain and back down that is really
13:16
awesome the button supposed to make it
13:16
work but it's not working or the lookout
13:18
mountain button does not work I guess
13:21
people are stuck at the top of Lookout
13:23
Mountain what are they going to do those
13:25
miniature people are stuck at the top of
13:28
the mountain at least they have a good
13:30
view over the entire awesome miniature
13:33
train track that's here really cool
14:20
that little Howard Johnson's Restaurant
14:20
right
14:25
there it's interesting because Howard
14:25
Johnson's today you think of it as the
14:27
hotel chain but I guess at one time it
14:29
was just a
14:37
restaurant here's another famous chattan
14:37
Chattanooga attraction the Sea Rock City
14:41
barns right
14:50
there you ever been to rock city oh yeah
14:50
I used to have a season pass forou
14:51
pretty fantastic place I'm actually
14:52
going to try to film a main Channel
14:54
video up at Rock City you know the story
14:57
behind the Sea Rock City on the the
14:59
barns about the history of it and why
15:02
all those paintings are on Barnes well I
15:05
tell you I actually have the book about
15:07
rock city and what did the book say
15:10
about the about the barns about the barn
15:12
well a lot of it was just had to do with
15:14
you know just the advertising and yeah I
15:17
always heard that they basically when
15:19
Rock City started becoming popular in
15:21
the tourist industry that they went
15:23
around to all these properties and they
15:24
said we will paint your barn for free
15:26
however we have to put the crock on the
15:29
side of it so they got a lot of semi
15:32
free advertising and a lot of those
15:34
barns are still there decrepit and
15:37
falling all through Tennessee on your
15:39
way to Chattanooga which is actually
15:40
really cool you can see a lot of those
15:42
old Sea Rock City Signs on Barnes I
15:46
think in the 70s they had a big push
15:48
against them they were talking about
15:49
really that's interesting saying that
15:51
they were like a blight on people did
15:54
not like the ad yet now in this day and
15:57
age there advertising every
15:59
you can't watch a sporting event without
16:01
the the name of the arena being called
16:03
something so it's interesting how times
16:05
have changed with advertising there's
16:07
subliminal
16:09
advertising
16:11
everywhere subliminal advertising
16:15
everywhere isn't
16:17
it Adam the. spreadshirt.com
