of Fame and Museum and also located on
0:45
this very spot on March 1st
0:48
1849 the first sale of town Lots
0:52
creating Waco Texas happened right here
0:56
let's check out what's
0:57
inside4 lb9
1:00
ounces is what this weighs imagine
1:03
holding and aiming a gun that weighs the
1:05
same as a 5B bag of sugar there is this
1:08
canvas painting of the moment in
1:11
1934 when a few former Texas Rangers
1:15
took down Bonnie and Clyde and even more
1:19
fascinating than that is they have a lot
1:22
of artifacts that the couple owned
1:24
there's one of his weapons right there
1:27
and check this out the these two guns
1:31
were used to kill them one from Ted
1:36
Hinton and the other one from Manny G
1:39
used in the
1:45
Ambush that's crazy these glasses were
1:45
used as a disguise by Ray Hamilton who
1:49
was an on and off again member of the
1:52
Barrow
1:54
gang the saw off shotgun up top belonged
1:59
to Bonnie the one on the bottom the
2:01
Winchester that was Clyde's found in the
2:05
car from the Ambush and there is his
2:08
pocket watch that he carried with him on
2:11
the back if you were to turn it around
2:14
there's the engraving stating Clyde
2:28
B here's something I never knew
2:28
fingerprinting started in 1892 by a guy
2:32
named Sir Francis
2:34
gton I didn't realize it went back that
2:36
far you've heard the term wearing a wire
2:39
this looks like the early incarnation of
2:41
that plugged into a wristwatch and then
2:44
you have the recorder tucked in your
2:46
shirt somewhere but there's a microphone
2:49
inside the watch this little girl's name
2:51
is Cara Lee Whitehead she was rescued
2:55
from her kidnapper by the gentleman who
2:58
wore this jacket one of the other Texas
3:00
Rangers was killed in a
3:04
gunfight to save her and the interesting
3:07
thing is a few years after her rescue
3:11
her and her family died in a plane
3:16
crash wow you do hear that sometimes
3:19
something dramatic happens to someone
3:21
and they get out of that unfortunate
3:23
event and then shortly after another
3:26
unfortunate event happens that takes
3:28
their lives
3:30
very bizarre look how concealable that
3:33
little gun would
3:35
be it's called the Saturday night
3:37
special this belt belonged to Ranger Jim
3:41
gear and he's photographed here wearing
3:45
that same belt this is a custom fit mask
3:48
for Clayton Moore who played the one and
3:51
only Lone Ranger that is freaking cool
3:55
that's his mask classic TV right there
3:58
classic TV indeed
4:01
this looks like a tight
4:02
squeeze going through
4:11
here this is the Brazos
4:11
River I think I'm pronouncing that right
4:14
Brazos on the corner of North 15th and
4:17
Washington is an old gas station that
4:20
has been repurposed to make it look like
4:23
it did back in its Heyday this is pretty
4:26
cool created by two brothers here in
4:30
Waco who wanted a place to work on cars
4:34
to give them a feeling of nostalgia and
4:37
it's safe to say they did one heck of a
4:39
job even inside is decorated to the
4:42
theming of the era hard to imagine a
4:45
gentleman dress like that coming out to
4:47
put gas in your vehicle in these days
4:49
isn't it unless you live in New Jersey
4:51
but they still don't dress like that you
4:53
know New Jersey is very interesting
4:54
there are two unusual facts about that
4:57
state there are no left turns and it is
5:00
illegal to pump your own gas true story
5:04
Google it I am a big fan of drinking
5:06
soda or pop whichever you like to call
5:09
it Mountain Dew is my number one
5:11
favorite but I also like the drink that
5:15
originated and started on this corner
5:19
known as Dr Pepper originally the drink
5:23
was called Waco because you couldn't get
5:25
it outside the city limits they changed
5:28
your name to Dr P though or maybe it
5:30
should be called Dr Waco ah Pepper's
5:34
better or what about Dr salt nah doesn't
5:37
have quite the ring to it hello my name
5:39
is Dr Charles alderton but most folks
5:42
just call me Doc for a few years back in
5:44
the 1880s quo was the only place in the
5:48
world you could get a Dr Pepper now you
5:51
have to understand that Dr Morrison was
5:53
very excited about that drink he's the
5:56
one who first called it Dr Pepper it got
5:59
so so popular that the back room of the
6:01
drugstore was turned into a small syrup
6:03
manufacturing plant this is the type of
6:05
soda fountain where it originally would
6:08
have been served check out the nickname
6:11
crazy water I'm going to have some of
6:13
that
6:15
crazy water different Dr Peppers from
6:18
around the world Holland Japan Poland
6:21
Russia Saudi Arabia wonder if they have
6:25
a Beverly these are some vintage soft
6:27
drink Manufacturing
6:30
equipment starting from the 1930s up
6:32
until the
6:34
1960s says here in the early days
6:37
bottles were inspected by I and that is
6:40
what this guy is doing he's getting a
6:42
very keen look for imperfections imagine
6:46
having that job' be very interesting to
6:49
do that for a career what do you do for
6:50
work oh I just stare at bottles all day
6:53
long night and day oh I've never seen
6:56
this pepper free they don't make that
6:59
anymore do they and look at the size of
7:01
these These are gargantuan that's my
7:04
hand and that's the bottle that is a
7:07
that is a man-sized thirst right there
7:10
this museum is inside the building known
7:12
as the old Corner drugstore and this old
7:16
photo from
7:17
1897 designates where I'm standing right
7:20
now look at the street cars running down
7:23
here on these rails and look at the
7:26
crowd in front of the
7:30
store to get a beverage in 1953 the
7:34
building was tornado damaged one of the
7:37
worst storms in this area the entire
7:42
downtown suffered a lot of damage it's
7:46
going up on the second floor now and I'm
7:48
greeted by it's old signage this damag
7:52
vending machine was used as a prop in
7:56
2011 starring Thor himself
8:00
he got pretty angry though man there he
8:02
just shredded that thing I like how
8:05
they've
8:05
recreated old
8:08
Americana right here inside this
8:10
building it's almost as if I'm
8:13
Outdoors but I'm not I'm inside I'm
8:15
inside a museum back in the day they
8:17
used to install drinking fountains on
8:21
the sides of some of the machines in
8:23
case you didn't have enough change for a
8:25
beverage you could get a drink of water
8:28
and wet your whistle
8:30
never go home thirsty many other
8:32
companies have tried to emulate the
8:33
formula i' kind of like to try this one
8:36
though it's a dock holiday not pepper
8:40
but holiday this life-size horse is made
8:43
out of aluminum
8:45
cans and bottle caps it's like having
8:48
chickenpox only only the horse version
8:52
some of their former advertising
8:53
campaigns are slightly
8:57
terrifying Scott yukin now this one I
9:00
like Frosty man
9:04
Frosty I wonder what type of songs are
9:06
on that be a pepper cassette tape this
9:10
was the office of the former chairman
9:12
and CEO foots clemments who passed away
9:17
in
9:18
2012 but they have kept his desk and his
9:22
knickknacks on display he even spawned
9:25
off his own beverage would you drink a
9:27
foots get your fresh Dr pe oh I love
9:31
one oh my name is woodro Wilson Clemens
9:34
how are you my friends call me foots
9:37
because of my big feet and for the past
9:39
couple of years I've been driving a
9:41
delivery truck and stalking Dr Pepper
9:44
say I see big things in your future
9:47
though sir it's got a unique taste I
9:49
think you'll like it I do like Dr Pepper
9:51
I know it's not Cola even though it
9:53
looks like you don't have to convince me
9:55
I tried it well it's a pepper it's a
9:58
pepper totally different it is good here
10:01
try how does that compare to Mr PB I
10:03
want to tell you a little secret about
10:04
how I load these boxs okay you see I
10:07
refill dozens of soda coolers every day
10:10
at every store of my delivery but how
10:12
does it compare to Mr pip one day I was
10:14
watching people get the bottles out of
10:16
the cooler yeah and I noticed that a
10:19
right-handed person lifts a lid with
10:21
their left hand yeah makes sense fix out
10:23
a bottle with their right hand right
10:25
right now I know that human nature likes
10:28
convenience so I made it easy I just put
10:31
all the doctor papers on the right side
10:33
of the coup I did have to move some of
10:36
the other brands around I see what you
10:37
did there genius exiting the big
10:39
building now passing this really awesome
10:43
mural and heading into another structure
10:46
I wonder why they got rid of the lion
10:48
and they stopped calling it The King of
10:49
beverages this was the first bottle to
10:52
be produced outside of the US in Mexico
10:55
City in
10:57
1946 it's the only remaining one that's
11:00
why it's behind this glass case in the
11:01
early 1900s they created these little
11:03
pin holders to promote the
11:07
beverage these are pretty rare as
11:14
well and it looks like Holt Beverage
11:14
Company also in Waco used to distribute
11:18
7even up in fact they still might
11:21
distribute 7 Up This reminds me
11:24
something out of a lever and Shirley
11:27
intra what the heck is this seriously
11:31
what the heck kind of spaceship is this
11:34
Dr Pepper
11:35
1985 Land Cruiser that's amazing I never
11:40
knew this either they bottle big red
11:42
here in Waco as well I saw a sign back
11:45
there designating this town as the soft
11:47
drink Capital it didn't say of Texas the
11:50
world or the us but I guess it's the
11:52
soft drink capital
12:14
I can't win there certainly is a lot of
12:14
ground to cover in this state I'm
12:17
heading north on Interstate
12:19
35 this old theater here on the Marquee
12:23
says
12:28
Texas it's a pretty neat little downtown
12:28
area Hillsboro is where I am this is the
12:31
cell block museum and it was a
12:34
functioning jail until
12:37
1983 the sheriff lived in the front room
12:41
and the
12:42
inmates were in bars behind the back
12:45
however they're not open until April you
12:48
can even see how it's secured up I don't
12:51
remember bars being on these windows and
12:53
even though I can't get inside it is
12:55
worth stopping off here however because
12:57
as The Story Goes the king of rock and
12:59
roll Elvis Presley himself spin a night
13:03
in there the charge public intoxication
13:07
so he resided whoa there's a step right
13:09
there he resided Behind These Walls for
13:12
a few hours dancing to the Jailhouse
13:14
Rock I seriously almost stumbled right
13:17
there on that little on that little
13:20
sidewalk piece gosh I love this old
13:22
Americana style signage check the name
13:24
of this place out too not antiques fleas
13:27
antiques so like a flea market mixed
13:29
with antiques I'm guessing I get pretty
13:31
excited about that type of stuff and
13:34
This falls into that category there is a
13:38
Roadside
13:39
America a museum this old bus has a golf
13:44
cart hanging out on top of it this is a
13:47
true
14:01
I don't know why there's a satellite
14:01
dish in
14:03
here but there is or why this piece of
14:07
wood is on the hood I'm stumped I'm
14:10
being teased why aren't you open this
14:14
place looks this place looks
14:16
amazing
14:19
no w
14:21
w I guess it just wasn't meant to be
14:24
right Cowboy it just wasn't meant wait a
14:28
second
14:30
do you have a hole carved in your
14:33
crotch there's a hole what the what the
14:37
heck is going on in
14:44
there as I was talking to the Cowboy the
14:44
owner pee through the curtains and he's
14:46
going to let me in I've seen these guys
14:48
around this is the hot dog that's
14:51
putting mustard and ketchup on his yeah
14:53
that's a american hot dogs I'm not sure
14:55
where he I've always thought it was
14:56
bizarre that he would be wanting to like
14:58
put condiments on himself cuz then he
15:00
would be like a cannibal of some sort
15:03
this Ronald McDonald talks or it says
15:05
Speak oh this was the drive-thru that's
15:06
where you'd order so you pull up in the
15:08
car and you talk right in there order
15:10
through that
15:12
yeah this showcase here is one of four I
15:16
built in the mid90s I guess it was it's
15:20
old Cadillac the back of a Cadillac 59
15:23
CAD were these from a restaurant Bonanza
15:25
yeah check that out there's hos cart
