interesting
0:02
name for a
0:10
restaurant the great city of Dallas
0:10
Texas welcome everyone Adam the woo
0:26
here it's my second channel daily Vlog
0:26
channel it's the daily wo
0:31
almost almost choked on that water for a
0:32
second starting off by parking in this
0:34
residential area and as I walk along
0:38
this
0:39
sidewalk on the corner of
0:43
Singleton and Borger is an
0:46
abandoned gas station and while this
0:49
looks like so many other decrepit
0:51
buildings of its fashion this one has a
0:55
very important significance because this
0:58
was the star service station and in the
1:01
early 1900s this was the home of Clyde
1:04
Barrow you might know him from the
1:07
infamous bank robbing team Bonnie and
1:10
Clyde how's it going
1:14
guys they just they just want to be in
1:16
the Vlog looks like whoever was parked
1:18
here got their window
1:20
busted you guys weren't watching out
1:22
you're supposed to protect the
1:24
neighborhood come on guys keep an eye
1:27
out next time as The Story Goes goes as
1:30
a child his family was very poor and his
1:33
father took over running this
1:36
establishment and just around the back
1:38
is a little area where the family
1:41
resided I wonder even at that young age
1:45
if Clyde sat on the porch or frolicked
1:49
in this pretty decent size backyard and
1:52
thought about all the conniving things
1:56
he would end up doing later in his life
2:00
since then bars have been placed on the
2:02
windows so there's no way to get inside
2:04
but someone has broken the window tried
2:09
to get in there directly across the
2:11
street new Condominiums are going up I
2:14
would imagine this building probably
2:17
will not last much longer there is no
2:19
plaque out front just this really
2:22
bizarre parking cone which is kind of
2:24
unexplainable why that's there but oh
2:27
the
2:27
historical significance
2:30
of this location to the history of
2:34
Bonnie and
2:40
Clyde
2:40
amazing might be able to get a little
2:42
peek
2:55
hole there is no gift shop on site no
2:55
souvenirs but you could walk away with a
2:59
a little bit of
3:01
tetanus if you so choose I love seeing
3:04
stuff like this it's very fascinating to
3:06
me because how we are brought up
3:08
sometimes changes what we become as an
3:12
adult and coincides or develops the
3:15
thought process that makes us do things
3:17
later in
3:19
life that's why it's always neat to go
3:21
back and look at the past of someone
3:25
leading up to what they became the
3:28
downtown Skyline pretty cool looking
3:30
someone's painted a mural here along
3:34
embankment reminding me where I am there
3:37
isn't even better view of downtown right
3:39
there what the heck is
3:41
that what is that I have to park the RV
3:44
here because the next spot I don't think
3:47
there's anywhere to park
3:48
it the Western
3:51
Heights
3:53
Cemetery I don't even know if
3:55
I'm allowed to go in here there's a
3:58
chain
4:00
I think I can squeeze through there yeah
4:03
made it
4:04
through didn't see any no trespassing
4:06
signs I think we're good I don't know
4:08
for certain but I'm going to guess by
4:10
the flowers all around it that this that
4:14
this is his Yep this is Clyde's
4:23
grave Clyde
4:23
c born on March 24th
4:26
1909 died on May 23rd
4:30
1934 gone but not forgotten and next to
4:33
him are his parents who owned and lived
4:36
at that service station and on the same
4:40
plot is his brother Marvin
5:05
dang even though they were known for
5:05
always being together and spending their
5:08
very last moments alive together they
5:11
are not buried together in the same
5:14
Cemetery it was not allowed in fact you
5:17
have to drive about 12 mil away to get
5:20
to Bonnie's plot can you go up in that
5:22
sphere looking thing is that possible
5:25
slam do up do up let the boys be boys
5:29
entering Crown Hill Memorial Park now
5:34
right along this row of Hedges is the
5:38
final resting place of Bonnie
5:41
Parker a very small humble headstone
5:46
with an angel in front and a very well
5:51
trodden area in front from the amount of
5:54
people who have stood here over the
5:57
years to say hello
6:00
born on October 1st
6:02
1910 and died the same day as Clyde May
6:06
23rd
6:09
1934 as the flowers are all made sweeter
6:11
by the sunshine and the Dew so this old
6:15
world is made brighter by the lives of
6:19
folks like you her mother lies directly
6:23
next to her and there has been a problem
6:24
over the years with people stealing not
6:27
only Clyde's headstone but also Bonnies
6:30
at one point this one was taken and
6:32
later found again and replaced here with
6:35
concrete around it to make it just a
6:37
little bit more difficult for future
6:40
thieves back at the other Cemetery
6:42
Clyde's headstone used to be an upright
6:44
version but they had to replace it with
6:47
the one that lays parallel to the ground
6:49
there goes a
6:59
airport wow another alfredy Newman
6:59
Muffler currently in Sparkman Hillcrest
7:02
Memorial
7:03
Park trying to find another piece to the
7:07
puzzle I'm having a very hard time
7:11
locating I'm having a very tough time
7:14
locating the spot after using my Columbo
7:16
like internet research
7:18
skills can't find it so I'm going to go
7:21
inside and ask sometimes cemeteries will
7:23
not tell you the locations of
7:25
graves but hopefully hopefully they'll
7:28
be nice and let me know the lady at the
7:30
reception desk did not know where the
7:33
spot was either so she called someone
7:36
from management here on the property and
7:39
they looked it up in the
7:41
computer and they're escorting me to the
7:51
spot there it is that's it now who is
7:51
this your grand par this he was uh the
7:54
last remaining member of the police
7:57
officers that killed Bonnie and Clyde
7:59
you kidding he wrote a book about it
8:02
after the fact about how they actually
8:04
broke the law in order to catch them he
8:06
was the he was the one of the six
8:07
officers of the gang who hid in the
8:10
woods so he was like one of the ones
8:12
that killed Bonnie and Clyde oh my gosh
8:13

you very much Ted Hinton was the last to
8:43
survive of the gang that killed Bonnie
8:45
and Clyde and he also was the person who
8:49
filmed that
8:51
famous 16 mm footage of the site where
8:56
it all went down Ted Cass Hinton and he
9:00
had a little bit more intimate
9:01
connection with both the families cuz he
9:04
grew up in the area of Dallas that they
9:07
lived and he knew them beforehand and
9:11
after he killed Bonnie and
9:13
Clyde he remained in touch with the
9:17
other surviving family

a half years did five maybe six full
10:07
lengthy tours with
