TDW 1591 - Birthplace of James Dean

0:15 that's good welcome everyone Adam the

0:15 woo here got my coffee I have an eye

0:17 full of the leaves changing which I

0:19 cannot complain about nor can I complain

0:22 about the beautiful nearly perfect

0:25 weather that is being bestowed upon me

0:28 here in Indiana it's

0:30 my second channel daily Vlog Channel and

0:33 it's the last day for a while where I

0:34 will be hanging out at my sister's

0:36 tomorrow morning I am moving on carrying

0:39 on hitting the open road first thing

0:45 Manana that means tomorrow I think it's

0:48 the daily

0:54 woo

0:54 what you want you you want to play catch

0:58 you want to play catch

1:03 got

1:03 it you got

1:22 job right outside this church next to

1:22 the parking lot is a playground area

1:25 where they have recreated Noah's

1:27 Ark back when I was a child and went to

1:29 church our playground area was not as

1:32 cool as this I wonder if the children of

1:34 the congregation are only allowed to go

1:36 in there 2 by

1:39 two you think when it rains the pastor

1:41 says get off the playground get inside

1:44 or if they just let them roam around the

1:46 ark I'm sure they're pretty

1:48 safe next to this Mexican meat market is

1:53 a place called elaco

1:56 Express starting off with some delicious

1:59 chips and you don't dip it in the salsa

2:02 you squirt it out of the top of these

2:05 like ketchup containers I've never been

2:08 into the heart of Mexico only time I've

2:12 been to Mexico is Tiana which is right

2:14 up there on the corner as you go out of

2:17 San Diego South and you cross over in

2:20 the border and then I've also been to El

2:22 Pasa which is right there when you go to

2:25 El Paso your cell

2:27 phone continually tries to go into a

2:30 different mode because it thinks you are

2:33 not in the US anymore one place I really

2:35 want to visit is in the very far Corner

2:39 down on the bottom near Guatemala it's

2:41 called Biz it's located right

2:46 there one day I'll get

2:49 there it's like you're reenacting some

2:51 kind of like commercial where they

2:54 sprinkle the lime and lemon on stuff so

2:57 good you got the steak tacos

3:00 and I have followed your lead and got

3:03 the exact same thing safe to say I

3:07 enjoyed them I cleaned my plate and so

3:09 does you and you stole all my limes so

3:12 good I was wondering what happened to my

3:13 limes it's a very patriotic yard in the

3:17 Town Square here in Maran

3:20 Indiana the birthplace of three

3:23 different famous people Jim Davis James

3:26 Dean and Cole Porter on this site stood

3:30 the Seven Gables where James deanan one

3:32 of the most charismatic and idolized

3:34 movie actors of all time was born and

3:37 there's even a little star right here

3:39 he's the only one along the

3:42 sidewalk but that's it about 3 or 4

3:45 years ago I visited this spot and since

3:47 then they have erected a memorial to him

3:50 as well there's the iconic photo of him

3:52 in front of the ranch from the movie

3:55 Giant and right over there is the new

3:58 Memorial it's amazing how famous and

4:00 iconic someone can become from just

4:02 starring in three films and James Dean

4:06 died on the west coast in California he

4:09 was only

4:10 24 years old but his life started on

4:14 this spot right here the home that once

4:17 sat here used to look just like that and

4:20 people pay their respects by bringing

4:24 flowers and change and putting it at the

4:28 base of the memorial it says here that

4:32 he was born at 2 a.m. in Unit A of an

4:36 apartment building so is

4:40 this home was that an apartment it does

4:44 say apartment house so I guess that is

4:48 that is the

5:31 after looking more at that mural I think

5:31 that is just famous people from Indiana

5:34 not necessarily this

5:41 town we're going under the

5:42 train we got pretty lucky instead of

5:44 waiting for the Stop train and a traffic

5:47 light we just drove underneath it I'm

5:49 not really sure why but this sign has

5:53 highlighted and put the word don't in

5:56 quotations we quote don't un quote

6:00 except snap or EBT filling the rental

6:03 car up my sister is washing the

6:07 window since you were washing the window

6:09 I got you a treat this is a Reese's big

6:12 cup They just added the Reese's pces

6:16 inside oh my gosh and I have purchased a

6:20 crystal

6:21 Pepsi it's always cool to have these

6:23 throwback items kind of makes you feel a

6:25 little nostalgic they took something

6:28 unbelievably incredible and made it even

6:30 better it's an old farmhouse and on the

6:33 side of the barn is a cool old cross and

6:37 James Dean was not the only one who

6:38 lived in this area down this road was

6:42 the boyhood home of Jim Davis the

6:45 creator of that crazy cat Garfield on

6:48 this 50 Acre

6:50 Farm 50 cats used to run around the

6:54 property I think that's where he got the

6:56 idea for Garfield and there is a a

6:59 beware of dog sign and I don't think

7:01 we're allowed to go any farther but

7:03 that's the house right there where Jim

7:06 Davis grew up what was the dog's name

7:08 from carfield Odie you think they should

7:10 say beware of

7:12 Odie yeah that would that would really

7:14 scare me away but OD wasn't really A

7:16 mean dog he was kind of goofy and dumb

7:18 yeah and then there was nural who was

7:20 like another

7:22 cat I'd be more scared of nural he was a

7:25 boy you thought he was a girl but he was

7:26 a boy nural was a boy I think so and

7:29 originally Jim Davis drew a cartoon

7:32 based on a gat for three or four years

7:35 and never really took off and then he

7:37 got the idea of changing the Gat cartoon

7:40 to a cat and hence we have what is

7:44 known as that pesky feline Garfield I

7:48 just realized we both grew up on

7:50 Garfield we both love taking naps and we

7:54 both love

7:55 lasagna this is like hollowed ground for

7:58 us this is is my grace land sir it is

8:01 pretty interesting seeing these fields

8:03 acres and acres and miles and miles of

8:06 freshly harvested corn it's all just

8:09 dirt next Plant would be soybeans right

8:13 would it be soybeans mhm so they plant

8:16 corn in one spot and then the following

8:19 season it's soybean they mix it up to

8:22 keep the ground I guess fertile for the

8:26 next

8:28 crop it's in front of the American

8:31 Legion

8:33 building some planes and helicopters and

8:36 also a tank right here by the railroad

8:42 tracks I've stopped off at the Statue a

8:42 couple times before but I always find it

8:44 interesting that there are two of those

8:46 the sculptor made two of the Buss of

8:49 James Dean one in California at Griffith

8:52 Observatory which I was just at less

8:54 than two weeks ago and one right here in

8:57 Fairmount

8:58 Indiana always interesting to go back

9:00 and forth and check both of them out

9:03 this guy blowing the leaves right here

9:04 reminds me of a story my dad once told

9:06 me I don't know if it's true or not but

9:08 he said when he was young there were

9:10 some people who had their driver's

9:11 license and they had a vehicle the car

9:13 they would drive around and they would

9:15 run up on the curves through the leave

9:18 piles that people have accumulated for

9:21 trash day and there was this one old man

9:24 in the neighborhood who wanted to get

9:26 back at those rascally youngsters and He

9:29 piled his leaves over the top of a fire

9:33 hydrant and according to my dad don't

9:35 know if it's true or not the kids came

9:37 through the neighborhood tried to mow

9:39 down the

9:40 leaves and the rest is history spouting

9:43 water in the air makes for a pretty good

9:45 story I don't know you know Dad pretty

9:47 well you think that story is true or not

9:48 I think it's totally true 100%

9:58 true check out this

9:58 tree there's two trees split completely

10:02 down the middle on either side of the

10:04 power lines you don't see that every day

10:08 super weird

10:24 looking there's this closed down

10:24 convenience store here on the side of

10:26 the road and what fascinates me the most

10:29 about these is they have an old

10:31 Coca-Cola machine an old Pepsi machine

10:34 and an old school Mountain Dew with the

10:36 old logo machine you don't see that too

10:39 much anymore pretty
