a cool crisp beautiful
0:05
morning in
0:07
Mississippi the weather feels so perfect
0:10
you could almost say it's Fit For A King
0:14
last night's accommodations might not
0:16
look like much but let me assure you
0:19
they were Majestic I slept in this
0:22
rustic Little Shack this is the view
0:25
from the porch sun is now Rising a few
0:28
Birds over there chirping beer cans
0:31
nailed to the ceiling of the
0:51
inside this was my
0:51
room humble
0:57
accommodations to say the least not your
0:57
typical holiday end that's for sure
1:00
you're staying at a resort hotel they
1:01
normally don't let you write your name
1:04
on the walls but that definitely seems
1:06
to be the tradition here this was our
1:09
living
1:10
room pretty cool right this crocheted
1:13
photo on the wall proudly states that we
1:16
are in Mississippi welcome everyone Adam
1:18
the woo here this is one of my favorite
1:21
places I've ever stayed it's my second
1:24
channel daily Vlog channel it's the
1:26
daily woo I feel like I'm that old man
1:29
at Disney Disney Land on Pirates of the
1:31
Caribbean when the boats go by just
1:33
sitting up there with my pipe I've
1:35
always been a big fan of theming and
1:38
Ambiance and there's not just one place
1:40
to stay out here there is a
1:43
plethora of accommodations the neighbors
1:45
have a pretty sweet PAD as well there is
1:48
no hot tub or sauna here but there is
1:50
this building that used to be used for
1:51
transporting cotton on the other side of
1:54
the railroad tracks there's some old
1:55
trucks in the front yard as well as a
1:59
bot tree it's exactly what it sounds
2:03
like it would be a tree full of bottles
2:05
they give you free moon pies when you
2:08
check in found an old Coca-Cola sign
2:10
this one's not hanging up and used
2:12
anymore but it still exists here's
2:14
something you don't see too often a
2:16
wooden John Deere tractor I don't know
2:19
how well that works but it's pretty cool
2:21
looking this is the main Courtyard area
2:23
in between all the cabins each of them
2:25
have their own
2:26
names embedded on the side
2:30
just so you know which one you're
2:32
staying in and the fact that all of them
2:34
have rocking chairs on the
2:36
porches kind of seals the deal doesn't
2:38
it I'm not sure if you're on the same
2:40
wavelength as I am but would you rather
2:41
stay at a nice hotel or here I'd rather
2:44
stay in a shack exactly looks like John
2:46
mackenro stayed here once of course
2:48
let's preface that statement by letting
2:50
people know there are heaters in the
2:52
rooms there is hot
2:55
water and a toilet and don't forget the
2:58
fact I'm trying to use the Wi-Fi in here
3:01
and of course lighting I think we've
3:03
covered all the groups that you need for
3:04
Comfort be very quiet carpet bagger is
3:09
leaving his Mark for posterity what's
3:11
this little guy that you drew is that
3:13
like a is that a posum that is a Poss
3:16
the cabin we stayed in was named the
3:18
electric blue and if you ever find
3:21
yourself in this neck of the woods keep
3:23
an eye out for my name that I'm going to
3:25
write above the door frame
3:36
there it is it's
3:36
official right above the main living
3:40
room if you will through the front door
3:43
was where I slumbered this is a good
3:46
opportunity to see if the Drone works
3:48
from the horrendous crash the other day
3:50
so I'm going to take it up in the air
3:52
get a bird's eye view of this entire
3:54
property you can see how many different
3:56
shacks and cabins and buildings there
3:58
really are here in Mississippi I
4:01
seriously love this place it's freaking
4:03
amazing man I'm worried that drone was
4:05
done for oh I'm afraid the Drone was
4:09
quite operational when your friends
4:12
arrived I cannot say enough good things
4:14
about that place I highly recommend it
4:16
it's called the shack up in in
4:18
Clarksdale Mississippi and it's not far
4:22
from the world famous Crossroads it is a
4:25
local legend that if you show up to the
4:27
crossroads at a certain time you can
4:30
sell your soul to the devil and reap the
4:33
benefits but the sign that sits at that
4:35
intersection is strictly for tourists
4:38
and only those who live here know of the
4:40
original location I think that this is
4:46
the original Crossroads some
4:48
say what instigated the beginning of
4:51
what we know as blues music some sell
4:54
their souls to rock and roll some do it
4:56
for the blues are there any other genres
4:58
of music people have sold their Souls
5:00
not sure I'm I think country music they
5:02
keep pretty pretty tightly held to their
5:06
souls what and that's the man most thank
5:09
for starting the genre of the Blues
5:11
Robert Johnson look at this
5:20
car speaking of Blues this venue here
5:20
called Ground Zero is owned by the one
5:23
and only Morgan Freeman and that is an
5:26
old school Greyhound station there some
5:28
corn there
5:30
and next to the corn huge bales of
5:34
cotton next to these unused railroad
5:37
tracks sits this church and in the grass
5:41
area in front of the building are three
5:44
old crosses what's interesting about
5:47
these set of crosses is many years ago a
5:49
minister traveled across the country
5:51
planting them in random towns and as I
5:53
travel across the country they are
5:55
becoming harder and harder to find
5:57
especially in sets of threes like this
6:00
so if you ever see them in your neck of
6:02
the woods realize there's a little bit
6:03
more history than just the church
6:06
congregation putting them in their yards
6:08
and what was the guy's name the
6:09
preacher's name Bernard coff and there's
6:11
a picture of him he has passed away but
6:14
some of his work still lives on it
6:16
appears the water tower in the town of
6:19
suner is shaped like a cotton ball or I
6:24
guess a cotton
6:27
stalk look at that thing pulled off the
6:29
side of the road because I noticed the
6:32
swampy area and the thing that's cool
6:34
about it is there are hundreds if not
6:37
thousands of Cypress knees protruding up
6:40
out of the water it's quite the cool
6:43
site and there's some birds and Eagles
6:45
and weird creatures of the foul
6:48
persuasion floating around flying around
6:51
enjoying the nether regions of
6:54
Mississippi it's pretty beautiful we
6:56
have stumbled on an abandoned school
7:00
check this out it's always crazy to see
7:02
these places that were once bustling
7:04
with students and teachers left in Decay
7:08
what is this it's like a piece of a
7:10
topographical map like a school project
7:12
that someone made maybe someone has
7:14
launched a chair through the
7:26
window this was probably the cafeteria
7:26
the kids would have been sitting right
7:28
there eating their lunches well now I
7:29
take that back it could have been the
7:32
computer room cuz there's some old
7:33
monitors a lot of the
7:35
curriculum just rotting away in
7:38
here look at that those are old
7:41
headphones that slightly puts a date on
7:44
this experience
7:49
wow you do not want to embed the old
7:53
Noggin on that when the teacher said
7:55
don't touch the thermostat people took
7:58
that very serious in 2006 this was a
8:01
certified No Child Left Behind Blue
8:03
Ribbon school now it is completely empty
8:07
with a piano sitting in front of the
8:09
stage in the former
8:26
Auditorium some remnants of the
8:26
playground area this little jungle J is
8:29
nothing more now than a planter for
8:44
weeds it's an old service station with
8:45
very colorful windows and there's still
8:47
a car inside there next to the gas pumps
8:51
an old General store
8:54
grocery some old Coca-Cola signs up
8:56
there too that truck has definitely seen
8:58
better days
9:10
when he blew the horn it startled me it
9:10
scared me it was so
9:22
loud Jeff gold Bloom near the
9:22
Mississippi River sits Margaret's
9:24
groceries right here off the road
9:30
and it's completely abandoned it was
9:32
built by Reverend Herman Dennis for his
9:35
wife he told her he would erect
9:39
Something Beautiful on the property is
9:41
this school bus Which is also decorated
9:44
and beautiful and the cool thing is you
9:46
can go
10:01
even though the former grocery is
10:01
boarded up and unaccessible you can get
10:04
in the school bus and sit inside here
10:06
and just soak up the artwork left as an
10:09
homage to his wife pretty cool we found
10:13
a way inside the grocery the floor is
10:17
very wet and nasty and I feel like I
10:19
might fall
10:21
through this isn't exactly the most
10:23
structurally
10:25
Sound Idea this is it this is the inside
10:29
of The Minister's groceries I don't
10:31
think they really sold canned goods and
10:33
stuff in here I think it was just a name
10:34
he gave it it's pretty much
10:37
adorned with all kind of either artwork
10:41
or
10:42
jewelry very colorful back when the
10:44
place was open there are articles
10:47
newspaper
10:48
articles all about the
10:51
property the dreams of a ridiculous man
10:55
this one States that's what it looks
10:56
like current day and this is what it
11:00
looks like in its
11:02
prime right after he completed it and
11:04
while it is sad that when you pass away
11:07
everything that you have left behind
11:08
never continues in the fashion that you
11:11
are putting your effort towards doing it
11:13
but it is always cool that little ribn
11:15
of what you have created always will
11:18
remain we're going to get some food at
11:20
KJ's Rivertown grill crab cake and
11:24
crawfish poppers and I got this
11:27
delectable little side salad now it's
11:29
time for some delicious looking fish
11:32
tacos what did you get the Cajun po boy
11:36
it looks tasty how is it it's the
11:39
sometime store it's a story that happens
11:43
sometimes you know how fond I am of old
11:46
Coca-Cola murals well there is a major
11:48
part of coke history here in vickburg
11:50
Mississippi it's the location of where
11:52
it was first bottled in
11:54
1894 the drink was not invented here it
11:58
was simply poured out of a fountain into
12:00
bottles here and this was the first
12:02
place that transported it to other areas
12:04
hence making it the first place it was
12:07
Bott and while it sounds like such a
12:09
simple concept people thought he was
12:12
crazy but we would never be able to
12:14
reach in one of these and pull out a
12:17
bottle Coke without that idea this is an
12:20
amazing idea you put the ice cream in
12:22
the top of that little circular bulb
12:24
syringe looking thing you drink the coke
12:27
through the ice cream that sounds like
12:28
the perfect Coke float to me this way to
12:31
the 1900 soda fountain I want to be the
12:35
first one to walk through that door wait
12:38
wait wait you would walk in and you
12:41
would Feast Your Eyes Upon This
12:44
counter of Coca-Cola Glory I'll take one
12:48
Coke sir hey give me one you want one
12:52
yeah two Coke back in those days you
12:54
could not sell the product unless you
12:56
had a legit soda fountain and employees
12:59
who were called Believe It or Not Soda
13:02
Jerks hey man watch your mouth this
13:06
little guy's name was cobot the robot
13:09
for real that was his real name cobot we
13:12
did it we walked through where it was
13:14
first bottled we need a toast or
13:16
something how about we use these sounds
13:19
good cheers stopped off in this museum
13:23
at the courthouse here in town they just
13:25
so happened to have ulses s grants
13:29
chair that's incredible you may think
13:32
that this is a rather unusual statue but
13:35
look closely at the top you will see a
13:38
hole in the back the reason for that
13:41
this is a ceremonial pipe made out of
13:46
limestone that's a really big pipe the
13:49
staircase in here is made completely out
13:52
of
13:53
solid
14:01
iron and up those stairs on the second
14:01
floor is the original Courthouse itself
14:06
the judge would sit here and Overlook
14:10
the entire room the lawyers here the 12
14:14
jurors here and the
14:18
onlookers in those pews Jefferson Davis
14:21
was inaugurated as president this is the
14:24
exact tie he was wearing
14:34
at one time this now bed and breakfast
14:34
used to be a mansion and there is a
14:37
civil war Cannonball supposedly lodged
14:42
in the wall still it really is true look
14:45
at
14:46
this there is a legit
14:49
Cannonball smashed in the wall and I'm
14:52
not sure the back story on this but they
14:54
have a hole cut out in the carpet
14:57
displaying the original wood floor and
15:00
there is some damage here so that must
15:02
be a little of a historical Relic as
15:05
well now at the Cedar Hill
15:08
Cemetery and out of all of these Graves
15:11
one really stands out that is like no
15:14
other amidst the confederate soldier
15:18
Graves just so happens to
15:22
be a
15:23
camel by the name of Douglas old Douglas
15:27
was the faithful patient camel of the
15:29
43rd Mississippi infantry this is a
15:32
rarity for me I've never seen a camel
15:35
buried amongst humans before very
15:39
interesting there is a school bus
15:41
Moonlighting as a tow truck that is
15:45
something you rarely
15:48
see and with that it's time to say vog
15:53
over
