TDW 1647 - The House Built To Escape From

0:16 Here Comes the

0:16 Sun good

0:18 morning I slept next to these trucks

0:20 last night in this Travel Plaza parking

0:25 lot look at this

0:26 fog slightly ominous

0:30 but very beautiful there's something

0:31 about early mornings that I really enjoy

0:34 maybe it's the fact that not the rest of

0:36 the world is completely awake yet and

0:39 you feel like the world is your oyster

0:43 if you will and you add in the element

0:45 of a little bit of faint fog on the

0:48 skyline and it even adds even more of an

0:51 awesome Ambiance today is going to be a

0:54 good day in front of the Lighthouse

0:56 Christian Fellowship Center is a real

0:59 deal Li house check that

1:10 out there's an old carnival ride right

1:10 there called the Cobra it's in someone's

1:13 yard and also the kitty

1:16 coaster that's where carnival

1:19 rides sit when they're not being used

1:21 welcome everyone Adam the woo here it's

1:24 my second channel daily Vlog channel

1:26 it's uh the daily woo

1:31 I spilt a little on the inside of the

1:34 windshield oops I can't tell if this is

1:36 a house or a store either way someone

1:39 has a lot of old Coca-Cola

1:41 merchandise including a cooler on the

1:45 front porch but it's all fenced off

1:48 either way very awesome looking for a

1:50 food mart well meet this one

2:06 Super Dollar now this is freaking cool

2:06 look at

2:15 this it's an old ambulance man look at

2:15 that

2:16 thing that is awesome hey big the foot

2:20 remember when you said you were going to

2:22 open that Travel Center well someone

2:25 beat you to it I'm sorry big guy I'm

2:29 sorry I just picked up a Bojangles

2:32 biscuit they all close in Florida so I'm

2:35 happy to see this again I knew a biscuit

2:37 named Bojangles and it would nourish you

2:40 with its cheese sausage and bread I

2:44 think they forgot to add the sausage

2:46 just a few Necessities to make life a

2:48 little more comfortable and having extra

2:50 bags like this is always good cuz you

2:52 can empty trash out at any time just

2:53 throw the garbage in there and walk it

2:56 out to a trash can I got this dark

2:57 curtain to put here just temporarily if

3:00 I pull over real quick in a parking lot

3:02 and I don't want people know that I'm

3:04 stopped and I'm inside that's what this

3:06 is for I just simply dangle it right

3:09 there and just you know stick something

3:10 on there just to hold it

3:13 normally this goes all around the edge

3:17 so when I'm sleeping at night that's

3:19 what I use but for something a little

3:22 faster I went with this option how

3:24 appropriate is this little arcade video

3:27 game here called road trip

3:30 I guess you spin that wheel tells you

3:32 how far you're going the amazing road

3:35 trip you can go to Denver or even as far

3:39 as Hollywood California on the amazing

3:43 road trip what do you think that sign's

3:45 trying to tell

3:48 me this makes Wheel of Fortune look like

3:51 Amateur hour I show a lot of old

3:53 cocacola signs but here's a vintage

3:56 Pepsi one for an old Motel look at that

3:59 thing

4:04 those trees look like something out of a

4:04 Tim Burton

4:06 film hundreds of them as I was driving I

4:09 Heard a Voice saying move over this way

4:12 and it was this guy right here he wanted

4:14 to see the RV what do you think you like

4:17 it I love this 1970s era sign stating

4:22 that I am in Quitman Georgia and check

4:25 out the parking situation here in these

4:28 small towns

4:47 it's been a while since I've been in an

4:48 area where they allow you to burn stuff

4:50 in the backyards you don't see that too

4:53 often in a lot of States because it's so

4:55 dry this Monument was placed here by the

4:57 ladies Memorial Association in

5:01 1978 to honor the Confederate dead isn't

5:05 it interesting that those that put this

5:07 here are also now dead stuff like that

5:10 really blows my mind if I think about it

5:12 too long one of my favorites so far

5:14 today is this wash arama sign there used

5:17 to be a coin operated laundry facility

5:21 right here and I'm guessing it became a

5:24 barbecue restaurant noticing the

5:26 lettering in the top left corner and

5:28 then down the hill

5:30 is a mural of Jesus and John the Baptist

5:34 it's an old abandoned mechanics place

5:36 called

5:37 Willies tire shop look at all these

5:41 leftover tires

5:48 outside okay thank you thanks for the

5:48 info one of the locals here just

5:50 corrected me and said that's not a

5:52 barbecue sign it said produce the P kind

5:56 of look like BBQ from a distance on a

5:59 side note if I ever make a movie and

6:00 need a voice actor for a villain hireing

6:04 that guy this is the kind of stuff I

6:06 love look at this down town area look at

6:09 that bank it's filled up with storage

6:11 but check it out you can see the counter

6:13 and where the teller would stand to hand

6:16 you money erected so long ago they had

6:19 to use Romanian numbers sure there was a

6:22 time when that was a very thriving place

6:25 as well as this former hardware store

6:29 you can see the rusted out lettering

6:30 right there on the side of the wall they

6:32 don't make signs like that anymore I had

6:33 this moderate obsession with old

6:35 Americana signage

7:04 oh this is a real good one check out

7:04 above the two broken panels there was

7:07 some sort of light up Globe like a

7:09 circle all

7:11 broken that's old school cumula Nimbus

7:15 overload ahead welcome to Boston home of

7:18 a marathon no not that Boston this one

7:22 is in Georgia every time I see the words

7:25 fresh fish I can't help but think of sha

7:28 shank fresh Fish Fresh Fish they've

7:31 converted the old train depot into a

7:34 little bit of a store these little

7:37 vehicle pods I'm certain are used for

7:40 either storing or moving something I'm

7:43 not really sure what though that is the

7:44 most least expensive littering fine I've

7:48 ever seen it's honestly less expensive

7:49 than going to a landfill they might want

7:51 to rethink that here's the police

7:52 department they have one patrol car and

7:56 a very small building as their facility

7:58 there's my street right right there on

8:01 the corner of Maine one thing you'll see

8:02 in a lot of places like this are no

8:04 street lights just stop signs welded to

8:08 where the street lights should be all

8:10 right small Bridge alert definitely

8:13 couldn't get two of these RVs Side by

8:15 Side downtown Thomasville now driving

8:19 over bricks I love these towns that

8:22 haven't paved over their old bricks and

8:25 just down the street is the Big Oak but

8:28 I had to park because

8:30 there is low clearance ahead Circa

8:33 1680 height of 68 ft circumference of 25

8:38 ft and a Wings span if you will of 165

8:44 ft you could definitely put this thing

8:46 in the category of majestic and it's

8:51 being held by metal

8:54 wires keeping the branches together and

8:58 please if you respect the Big Oak no

9:02 climbing please this was President

9:04 Dwight D Eisenhower's favorite tree and

9:07 on many occasions when he was hunting in

9:09 the area he would stop by and just hang

9:11 out underneath it do a little reflecting

9:13 this thing is incredibly massive and

9:17 very impressive the fact that it has not

9:20 been struck by lightning or Fallen

9:23 victim to a developer's hand is a very

9:27 very good thing there is a camera

9:29 mounted on the telephone pole across the

9:31 street from the tree I did a little

9:33 researching online and I found a phone

9:36 number you call by calling that it takes

9:38 a picture of you in front of the Big Oak

9:42 then you go to a website and you can

9:44 download the photo how completely

9:47 random and awesome that

9:55 is I don't know if it's working I called

9:55 the phone number it said it took the

9:56 photo then it gave me a website to go to

9:59 I checked the website there are no

10:01 photos on there from 2017 yet maybe I

10:03 got to wait a few days I got to be

10:07 patient or it didn't work whoa am I

10:10 going to make it through here

10:12 that's

10:18 tight tight

10:18 squeeze think I got

10:20 this oh yeah we're

10:24 good barely but we're good this is the

10:27 laam Patterson house and has a very

10:29 interesting backstory the gentleman who

10:31 built it way back in the day was

10:33 terrified of fire and he really had a

10:36 disdain for 90° angles and there are

10:41 45 exterior doors around the facility

10:45 and 19 rooms that are asymmetrical back

10:48 in the 1980s when they would give tours

10:50 of this place they would tell you that

10:52 there were no 90° angles anywhere on

10:56 property but that has been proven toight

10:59 be true this is around the rear of the

11:01 building he built this in 1884 after

11:04 moving from Chicago and he witnessed

11:06 firsthand the Great Chicago Fire he was

11:09 always very paranoid look at the size of

11:12 these windows very easy access to get

11:15 out of there in case of an emergency I

11:17 wonder if anyone's ever graffitied a g

11:21 on

11:27 there got to turn the generator on for a

11:27 few charge some accessories as well as

11:30 drone batteries and my laptop and

11:33 checking to see if the AC works which it

11:35 does and I'm about to cook some soup in

11:38 the

11:40 microwave I mentioned yesterday that I

11:42 have unlimited data through AT&T and a

11:45 lot of people left some great

11:46 suggestions about tethering my iPhone to

11:49 my laptop sadly that is not accessible

11:53 if you have been grandfathered in

11:54 through AT&T so tethering my phone

11:57 through Bluetooth and going through all

11:58 those options

11:59 is not feasible but that's okay I don't

12:01 really use my laptop that much it's not

12:04 vital to have it every single morning or

12:06 every single night so whenever I can get

12:09 Wi-Fi I'll use it most everything else I

12:11 do is on my phone
