Club and classic car alert here
1:09
Celebration Golf
1:11
Club which is kind of a neat coincidence
1:13
that you use clubs at a
1:17
club huh might peruse a little bit over
1:20
on the Highway 192 not sure how far I'll
1:22
go down that way and then back up and I
1:24
also want to ride my bike on the to the
1:26
other side of town to a new construction
1:28
area called Island
1:31
Village okay I'm going to turn this
1:33
GoPro on and to see I got it facing
1:36
forward this time the other day I had it
1:38
facing selfie style and I'll just kind
1:40
of film a little bit forward facing as I
1:43
just go along the sidewalk here that's a
1:45
nice day out sunny and it's kind of cool
1:48
it's not jacket weather cool but for
1:50
Florida it's
1:58
nice last night I drove past this spot
1:58
and there were probably 10 or 15 news
2:01
trucks and news
2:03
Vans because it appears as if may have
2:07
already gotten out of the hospital but
2:09
the ex president of
2:11
Brazil was here at the Celebration
2:13
Hospital oh there's news trucks up here
2:15
I see
2:16
him okay there's still news trucks up
2:18
here do I have the rideway here I think
2:22
I might have the rideway maybe
2:32
not there a seem to be as many
2:32
news news folk as last
2:35
night but kind of big news for
2:39
celebration evidently he's here in
2:42
town out of his home country and
2:46
something happened and needed to be
2:48
admitted into the
2:56
hospital there's only like maybe six
2:56
photographers out here now this guy's
2:58
taking a picture of me as I ride by
3:23
yeah last night when I went by here
3:23
there's probably like 15 automobiles
3:25
evidently this must be like the good
3:27
angle to like zoom into the room that
3:28
he's in
3:31
kind of interesting last night it was a
3:33
real beehive of activity out here now
3:34
it's not not as much okay it appears as
3:37
if there's only one or two people with
3:38
the news media taking photos and stuff
3:41
everyone else in these cars are
3:42
well-wishers or those who want to say hi
3:45
to him if he kind of peeks out the
3:47
window if he gets unadmitted into the
3:51
hospital there a few people waiting out
3:53
here I guess maybe you're not supposed
3:55
to go up on the property fun fact I am a
3:58
member of
4:00
the gym here this Advent Health has a a
4:03
gym membership there and many times I've
4:05
been up there on the treadmill and the
4:07
uh cardio machines which I got to kind
4:09
of get back on track on that so I guess
4:12
technically I could go cuz I have my
4:13
card with me I could go up on the
4:16
hospital property even though I guess
4:18
everybody else have to kind of wait here
4:21
on the median I don't know who allotted
4:23
that but people just over here on the
4:25
side of this little grassy grassy hump
4:55
I think at the end of my day at the end
4:55
of my extensive bike ride I'm going to
4:57
do I'll probably Cruise back by here and
4:59
just see if any other folk have decied
5:01
to kind of congregate out here counting
5:03
maybe five or six really good high zoom
5:06
lens cameras they're all really pointed
5:08
pinpointed at the same spot so maybe
5:11
they know what room he is in and it's
5:14
just kind of zoomed in there maybe
5:15
they're waiting for him to open the
5:17
drapes back and just give a little wave
5:18
and a give it a little thumbs up
5:24
maybe yeah I'll stop back by in a little
5:24
bit
5:37
I always love this area the stretch of
5:37
road it goes up to World
5:41
Drive all the architecture reminds me so
5:43
much of old Hollywood like Hollywood
5:44
Studios
5:45
even
5:48
hello palm trees art
5:54
deess all this and I love that here in
5:56
town is one of the coolest looking
5:59
McDonald
6:00
and 7-Eleven something you'd see on
6:02
Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard at an la I
6:06
love it I'm going to go out here and get
6:07
a couple couple beverages one for now
6:09
one for my backpack for later all right
6:11
water for a little bit later little
6:13
7-Eleven purified and then green tea for
6:17
now I love green tea it's nice about
6:20
this GoPro I can just mount it anywhere
6:22
on the bike turn the camera towards
6:24
wherever I want it to show and got this
6:27
camera g7x
6:30
which I think is a little clearer and a
6:31
little better I prefer this one but you
6:33
know it's nice because that's handy you
6:35
can just kind of use the little clamping
6:36
mechanism put it wherever you want got
6:39
the gas station Convenience St was out
6:41
just right over there park my bike right
6:43
here and over here in the shade I'm
6:44
going to sit for a spell I just got to
6:46
thinking you know if a witch sits for a
6:49
spell someone might get
6:52
cursed I thought of that all this spad
6:56
many years ago right where I'm sitting
6:57
there was not this wall here and there
7:01
was no light here either and true story
7:05
long time ago people coming back from
7:07
the parks did not realize that there was
7:10
an end here and a lake here on the other
7:12
side of this and drove off into the
7:16
water in fact it's happened more than
7:20
once it's a good thing now there is a
7:22
wall there and there is this light here
7:25
I'm supposed to be sitting supposed to
7:26
be go back over here and set
7:30
true story
7:32
though so past this apartment complex I
7:34
was just riding to there's some signs
7:35
that there it's a construction area so I
7:38
don't think I'm supposed to go past
7:39
those signs but this whole area through
7:41
here is a huge shopping center right
7:43
here at World Drive really close to the
7:44
Mickey power
7:45
pole and you see the apartment complex
7:48
kind of ends right here and right next
7:50
to those apartments and Island village
7:53
where I'm going to ride over to is going
7:54
to be this new shopping center and you
7:57
know once it's done I'll I'll ride bike
7:59
down there and show all that off but
8:00
right now they're still working on it
8:02
pretty
8:04
awesome celebration's growing for sure
8:06
it's a really cool looking building
8:07
right
8:09
there so I'm going to go over to Island
8:11
village now which is that direction it's
8:15
a new Housing Development from what I
8:17
heard the rumor was going to be the last
8:18
Housing Development to be built here in
8:21
celebration on the outskirts of town I
8:23
don't know if that's true or not but
8:24
that's the rumor in order to get onto
8:26
Island village you have to go over this
8:27
bridge as of right now this is the the
8:29
only Road in and out of celebrations
8:32
Island village and I love this bridge
8:35
kind of gives that classic textbook
8:38
Americana feeli the small town like
8:40
vintage style the kind of bridges like
8:43
railroad Bridges
8:45
and automobile Bridges they would
8:48
build way back in the
8:50
day that's what it kind of alludes to
8:52
for me
8:59
anyway I love it it runs parallel to I4
8:59
which is a real beehive of activity over
9:08
there you get the swamps down
9:08
here and then some already Open Homes
9:11
people live out here and some new
9:14
construction got some stuff coming to
9:16
fruition over there slowly but
9:24
surely and then this row people live
9:24
here there's already residents out here
9:25
a lot of people live out here on this
9:27
section now
9:30
look at this look at this area it's
9:32
beautiful got their own little Lake over
9:35
here
9:35
too some new gazebos that have been
9:38
built I don't know if there's any Gators
9:40
in this this could be island Village's
9:43
own version of Lake Reinhard I don't
9:44
know what the name of this lake is so
9:46
these are all completed people are
9:47
living over at those those are all
9:49
completed people living over at those
9:52
and then all this his nuke splashing
9:55
around in there
9:56
bird he moving out already
9:59
oh you're just reloca to the other side
10:01
of the lake gotcha condos Andor
10:04
apartments right here and then Model
10:07
Homes over this
10:14
way CU they're really trying to get
10:14
people to move into this area I got the
10:15
model homes that you can take a look
10:19
at pretty nice two story
10:26
ones this place is going to be a
10:26
thriving area down the road
10:29
in the future I should
10:36
say check out the sprinkler
10:36
system this is a few miles from downtown
10:39
celebration Market Street and all that
10:42
so he wouldn't be able to walk downtown
10:44
from here if you did it would take you
10:45
quite a while bike ride probably takes
10:47
you 15 well probably half hour bike ride
10:51
honestly but this definitely has the The
10:53
Vibes downtown celebration at this point
10:56
in my life I do not own a home I'm just
10:58
renting where I where I'm staying now I
11:01
almost just walked right into that
11:02
sprinkler system and to be honest I
11:04
don't know where I'm going to end up
11:06
I've often thought about you know what
11:07
if I was to go back to California what
11:09
if I was to purchase something here what
11:11
if I was to go to the Gatlinburg Pigeon
11:13
Forge area settle down there in the
11:15
future so right now I'm not in the not
11:18
in the buyer Market in any I don't think
11:20
right now is probably not the best time
11:21
to buy anyway because the housing market
11:23
is really really high that's what people
11:25
that are in the know have told me just
11:27
to wait a little bit
11:30
but I'm going to wait just because I
11:32
don't know what I'm going to do I never
11:33
know what I'm do all different styles of
11:34
homes through
11:36
here you know you have like the the
11:38
attached houses to another
11:41
house I'm not sure the specific
11:43
terminology of that and then there are
11:45
some that are detached you have a little
11:47
bit of yard on either side so just kind
11:50
of one thing about this area is they
11:52
build a lot of different styles even
11:53
this one kind of reminds me of like the
11:56
in New York where you kind of walk up
11:57
the stoop into there so a lot of
11:59
different styles and then of course over
12:01
here a lot of new new houses being built
12:47
Mickey power pole the opposite side not
12:47
the back side of
12:48
water back side of the Mickey power
12:51
pole one Halloween season I want to get
12:54
a bunch of people come out here all
12:57
dress up as Michael Myers and do a
12:59
mirrored image even though it won't be a
13:01
mirror it'll be like a dozen Michael
13:04
Myers and hedges cuz this is what this
13:07
reminds me
13:09
of reminds me of the Hedge scene them
13:12
John Carpenter's original Halloween you
13:15
just see Michael Myers peer out be
13:17
scared the snot out of me if that
13:18
happened but you could really get a good
13:21
photo if you had a bunch of different
13:23
Myers
13:25
here right doesn't it look like that
13:35
it's like Myers Infinity someone fishing
13:35
on the shore right there this is right
13:37
behind where World Drive connects with
13:39
that wall I was sitting at earlier
13:41
there's a big old Gator down in there
13:43
big
13:51
one look at that
14:06
back over towards the hospital also I'm
14:06
going a race with a lawn maintenance guy
14:08
on the golf course over here
14:35
I don't know exactly what's going on
14:35
over there but it's like a few other
14:38
people have started to arrive over here
14:41
as well some more cameras and news
14:55
folk not sure exactly what they have
14:55
their cameras pointed at
14:57
but guess it's kind of EX exciting
14:59
starting to put two and two together now
15:01
I don't think the cameras are pointing
15:02
at the windows I think the cameras are
15:05
pointed at the helipad here so if he was
15:08
to be let out of the room he would have
15:10
to walk over to the helipad to the
15:13
helicopter that's on the helipad if he's
15:15
in here I was kind of just doing a quick
15:17
little internet search and there are
15:19
some that say that he might not even be
15:20
in there maybe it's a a clever Ploy
15:23
because of what's going
15:24
on him being here and not in his home
15:27
country I don't I don't know
15:29
so is he in there is he inside there is
15:33
he not inside
15:35
there fascinating nice little roadside
15:38
Twisty Treat over here the shape of an
15:40
ice cream cone you get a delicious cone
15:42
full of soft serve if you so choose and
15:46
back there where that b those condos are
15:48
used to be where Arabian Nights was a
15:51
dinner show in fact they used to have
15:53
the
15:53
sculptures right over here the two
15:55
horses that were just kind of saying
15:58
come on in
15:59
of course the theater's long gone but
16:02
you can see check it out the signs are
16:03
still down here horses are gone the fake
16:18
horses could even see where their feet
16:19
were stanching into the concrete is this
16:21
ticket outlet even
16:23
open probably not all these time share
16:26
type Ticket Outlets
16:33
look at these retro vintage trash cans
16:33
out front this is like '90s Highway
16:37
192 type stuff oh look at this the front
16:41
over there they have the the door just
16:43
like they had back in like the '90s
16:44
where it had like the painted ticket on
16:47
the side it was like a ticket stub and
16:51
that was like the theming of
16:53
that oh yeah it's closed this place
16:56
isn't open anymore
17:01
really like this trash can though this
17:01
whole building is pretty cool looking
17:04
authorized says right there authorized
17:07
ticket outlet here at 6115 ear Bronson
17:10
Highway 192 this is a pretty good old
17:14
neon sign too here the open side this
17:16
entire structure is pretty awesome can
17:19
see having like a store right here
17:22
utilizing this old facade if the ticket
17:25
center never
17:26
reopened just the architecture of it's
17:28
pretty cool it just screams like '90s
17:31
Nostalgia
17:38
tourism back when the time share tickets
17:38
were all the
17:45
rage water tower here not really water
17:45
in there just for looks but I like it
18:26
seems to be a little commotion down
18:26
there and they're all kind of
18:27
congregating around together as if they
18:30
know something I I don't I haven't kept
18:32
up with any of this but road back by
18:34
heading back to my home and there's
18:37
quite quite a few people with really
18:39
high lens cameras down there it seems
18:43
like they are kind of commiserating as
18:45
if something is about to happen over
18:47
here on the helipad okay another
18:49
photographer has shown up seems like he
18:51
is pointing at the window so maybe they
18:54
do know what window it
18:56
is maybe it's not the hell of
19:13
out a really nice casual stroll on my
19:13
bike around town dipped over in 192 just
19:16
for a brief While most of it was in
19:19
celebration some eventful news taking
19:21
place over at the hospital Advent
19:23
health or at least I kind of got a
19:26
little bit of the Hub up over there
19:29
and got some bured off some cavies R
19:32
quite a bit around town went all the way
19:33
over to Island village and then back I
19:36
love this little street through
19:38
here approaching Savannah
19:42
Square which I'm just going to
19:51
assume just looking at it it looks like
19:51
a square in Savannah Georgia similar to
19:53
the one Tom Hanks sat at in Forest scump
19:57
life is like a box of chocolates
20:00
Square there it is a sign right there
20:02
Savannah
20:04
Square that's going to do it for today
20:06
I'll see you in the next video the
20:08
Vlog is the fountain's on for a while
20:11
the fountain was turned off the Vlog
20:14
isn't this a beautiful
20:16
Square I love
20:17
it I love this
