Welcome everyone. Happy Sunday. I am not
0:03
standing in front of the Back to the
0:05
Future Courthouse Square. I am standing
0:08
in St. Cloud, Florida, and there is a
0:10
car in the middle of the road. So, I
0:13
need to probably move out of the way.
0:15
Now, if I was in Southern California,
0:17
there would be more than one car. There
0:18
would be a ton of vehicles driving
0:20
through here, but I am not in Southern
0:23
California. I'm in central Florida. St.
0:25
Cloud, Florida to be exact. And I am
0:27
back to my old stomping grounds. And who
0:30
better to walk around the old stomping
0:33
grounds with me better than this
0:36
gentleman right over here. My dad is
0:38
wandering around in the
0:39
shrubbery. I don't know what he's doing
0:41
over there. What are you doing over
0:44
there, Dad?
0:51
Oh, he's vlogging also for his channel
0:51
JWW on the Move. over there is the I
0:56
know why you're standing there because
0:58
the sun is here. The shade is here. And
1:02
you taught me I think somehow we have
1:04
taught each other, my dad taught me at a
1:06
very young age to stay out of the sun
1:08
and that is why I have a passion for
1:11
shade. So just wandering around St.
1:14
Cloud, Florida, my old stomping grounds.
1:16
My old apartment used to actually be way
1:19
over there. Actually, not too far. About
1:20
one block up on the left hand side. I
1:23
just wanted to wander around and show
1:25
you guys basically where kind of not
1:27
really I grew up my adult life I was
1:30
spent in St. Cloud, Florida. I was born
1:31
in 1974 in Tupelo, Mississippi. We moved
1:34
all over. My dad was a minister, so he
1:36
would travel from church to church to
1:38
church. We ended up in the panhandle of
1:40
Florida. We lived in Oklahoma for a
1:42
while and then 1991 when I was 15 or 16,
1:46
we moved here to St. Cloud and I lived
1:48
in the St. Cloud CM Orlando, Florida
1:52
area up
1:53
until the end of 2014, actually on New
1:57
Year's Day. I arrived in Orange County,
1:59
California, and I have been there ever
2:01
since. And I actually remember using
2:03
this pay phone many of times, standing
2:06
right here looking at the hardware
2:08
store, which was actually located right
2:10
there at that time in 1991. This was
2:13
actually a hardware store. And that
2:15
hardware store used to actually be over
2:17
there back in the day. And this was the
2:19
first hardware store, I think, in
2:21
Florida, which now has actually been
2:22
moved up from St. Cloud to CM, Florida.
2:25
I believe it's called
2:26
Makinson's Hardware, which is up in CM,
2:29
Florida. But it all started right here
2:31
on this block for Oyola County, Florida.
2:34
So, let's see see what my dad is doing.
2:37
You want to wander down the
2:38
road and see what we can see? We're
2:41
going to wander. He's going to get me
2:43
out of the sun if it's the last thing he
2:45
does. But you can see a lot of these old
2:47
buildings. Like this is dated
2:49
1914. So there's definitely a lot of
2:52
history here. Oh yeah, I was correct. I
2:54
was telling them how this was the this
2:57
was the original hardware store in
3:00
Florida. I think central Florida, maybe
3:02
even in Florida. And it used to actually
3:04
be next to the St. Cloud Hotel on the
3:06
other side. And then it moved here in
3:08
1914. Then it became some sort of like a
3:10
ery, like an Irish pub. It was an Irish
3:13
pub. Yeah. And Makinson's Hardware
3:15
actually is now up in CM on Main Street
3:19
in CM, Florida. But it started in this
3:21
building after it was in that building.
3:24
So that building first, then it moved
3:25
here, and then it moved up to CMI. And
3:27
that hardware store, is that the
3:28
hardware store? It's a mural on the side
3:31
of the downtown area and everything. It
3:32
has a mural out front. Yep. I think the
3:34
horse might be up on the balcony kind of
3:37
like overlooking as people walk in
3:38
perhaps something like that. But it all
3:40
began right over here. here. And even
3:43
though this place is closed, you can see
3:44
they've left the ceiling fans on.
3:46
They've left all the ceiling fans on.
3:48
No, I think that's the wind. Oh, that's
3:50
the breeze. I think that the cool breeze
3:53
shade. He's out in the sun. It's I've
3:56
always say that my mood can change
3:57
dramatically by stepping from the shadow
4:01
into the light. I'm not a vampire, but I
4:04
It might be maybe at a young age. I was
4:05
bitten. I was bitten by the shade like a
4:08
vampire. Now, last time I was here, this
4:10
was actually I think this was like a
4:12
coffee shop and then it became a a place
4:15
where children would actually play games
4:16
like board games like more like kind of
4:18
like Dungeons and Dragons and those
4:19
types of like board games for like
4:21
teenage like a clothing store children.
4:23
And now it is called back on the rack a
4:26
hiding place. A hiding place for
4:30
treasures. Yes. And I guess really the
4:33
only treasures I see are the little few
4:35
jewels that are hanging. There's
4:37
actually more coat hangers than there
4:39
are actual treasures here. And this
4:42
small fern. This looks like a a frame.
4:44
Some kind of a frame like you would hang
4:46
a dress on it or put a dress on it. You
4:48
would you would hang a dress and then I
4:51
guess you could hang all your jewels on
4:52
the little like the little hangy hooks
4:55
that are there. And you can see it's
4:56
Sunday. There's not a lot of people out.
4:58
Most of the businesses that are out here
5:00
are not open on Sundays. Most of the
5:02
businesses are established here in town
5:05
do very well Monday through Friday
5:07
because that is when the city hall
5:09
employees are there. But on the
5:11
weekends, as you can see, it's not
5:13
really a lot of activity roaming around
5:17
town. And there is the old St. Cloud
5:19
Hotel, which is actually really cool.
5:21
You can actually go online and look at
5:22
like a lot of really old pictures. And a
5:25
lot of people actually say that the old
5:28
St. Cloud Hotel is legitimately haunted.
5:32
They say that this hotel is
5:36
legitimately
5:38
haunted. The
5:39
Haunted Hotel of St. Cloud, Florida.
5:43
Look at this. The Haunted Hotel. My dad
5:47
has no fear, though. He He's like a
5:49
ghostbuster. He ain't afraid of no
5:51
ghost. And he's going up to the ghost.
5:54
Maybe they put the ghost here because
5:56
they say this place is haunted. And in
5:58
fact, ghost investigation crews have
6:00
actually done research up there. I do
6:03
not know what they actually found, but
6:05
here is a ghost right here. You do not
6:06
even need to be a ghost investigation
6:08
research crew to even realize that there
6:12
are ghosts. Now, they say, some people
6:14
say, D, that this is a haunted hotel. I
6:17
don't know why they would say that.
6:19
Jacker lanterns there. Somebody had to
6:21
cut the faces on the jacker lanterns.
6:24
But look, it is. Is the door unlocked?
6:26
No. But if you look inside, pretty much
6:29
everything looks the same as how it did
6:31
basically back when it was built. You
6:33
can actually see over to the right hand
6:35
side, you can actually see where guests
6:37
would check in the mail slots behind the
6:40
windows. So behind this window, you
6:42
would actually see the mail slots inside
6:45
of there. Is that like the banquet hall
6:46
at the end of the hall down there? There
6:48
is a banquet hall down there. There's
6:50
actually a stairway over to the right.
6:52
in the very top floor is off limits to
6:56
the public. No one is allowed up there.
7:00
So basically you cannot go you can go to
7:03
the second floor but no one the business
7:05
owner manager will not let anyone on the
7:09
top area. No one because it is
7:12
supposedly now I am not saying it is
7:14
this. I am just telling you what people
7:15
have said that it is haunted. That is
7:18
haunted up there. And obviously because
7:20
there is a gargantuan bat with the face
7:23
of a monkey that's actually right here.
7:26
Monkey bat. It's a It's the great monkey
7:30
bat. And people, there's no one even
7:32
sitting here because everyone, who in
7:33
their right mind would sit at this table
7:35
when there is a
7:37
scary scary
7:48
if you're going to be attacked by a
7:48
monkey bat, the best thing you could do
7:49
is just go hide out somewhere. Yes. Just
7:52
go hide out. Hide out from the monkey.
7:53
Just go hide out somewhere from the
7:57
monkey bat. He's even got monkey hands.
7:59
Look at here. He does. Yeah. Look at
8:00
that. Look like a monkey.
8:06
Watch out. Watch out,
8:06
Dad. No, I was I was warning you cuz he
8:09
was starting to strangle you. He was
8:10
starting to strangle you. He scared me.
8:14
He was starting to strangle. Look at
8:15
Look at this. This is not That does not
8:18
look like someone who is in prime
8:19
physical condition. The Walking Dead.
8:22
The Walking Dead. And up here, the
8:24
hanging dead. The hanging dead. This guy
8:27
just doesn't know what's going on. Do
8:29
you know if this place is haunted or
8:31
not? I don't know. Is this place
8:33
haunted? And it looks like he's actually
8:36
hung himself. He's strangled himself
8:38
with his own cord, which is the last
8:40
thing, the last thing you want to do if
8:43
you're trying to actually terrify
8:45
passerbys is to actually invite your own
8:49
doom by strangling yourself by
8:51
strangling yourself on your own core.
8:54
Electrical cord. Talk about unplugged.
8:57
Hey. Hey Timmy, will this cord will this
9:00
will this cord cut off my circulation if
9:02
I wrap it around my
9:04
neck? I don't know. Well, I think his
9:07
answer just came clear right there.
9:11
Unbelievable. So, this is it. I used to
9:12
live in this area. Heard many stories
9:16
about the haunted hotel. I've never been
9:18
to the top room. So, leave some comments
9:21
down below if you guys can do some
9:22
Colombo like research of your own about
9:25
the haunted hotel. Is this place really
9:29
haunted? Has anyone actually found any
9:31
facts and figures online posted any
9:35
research? It actually has like some
9:37
legitimate confirmation if any spirits,
9:40
if any ghosts have actually been seen
9:41
inside of there. Please leave some
9:43
comments down below. I'd love to read
9:44
them and respond to them later. Look,
9:46
the ghosts are here.
9:51
is that as he makes up stuff while he's
9:53
going along, he can think faster than
9:57
me. Not necessarily. I'm just good at
10:00
using the same words, but I just change
10:02
the words even though I'm saying the
10:04
same thing repetitively. I'm using a
10:06
different word which means the same
10:07
thing. So, it seems like big wonderful
10:10
things. And some people also say that
10:12
the Hunter Arms Hotel is haunted.
10:15
I do not know. Across the street. Yeah,
10:17
there was actually a movie that was
10:18
filmed there called 2000 Maniacs was
10:20
filmed there and also The Water Boy with
10:22
Adam Sandler. Yeah. Was actually filmed
10:24
in there. And there's also been other
10:25
things filmed in here. I did They did a
10:27
car wreck scene of a Super Boy scene.
10:29
They did out front with a wreck car
10:31
right there. The wreck car was actually
10:32
down at the next block. I did a vlog on
10:35
that maybe a year and a half ago. Just
10:36
look up Super Boy the Daily Woo. The car
10:40
scene was at the next block. This was
10:42
the scene where Super Boy, the final
10:44
scene of the show, I think it was maybe
10:47
EP season five or six of Super Boy was
10:50
actually right here in front of the
10:51
Hunter Arms. Right here in front of
10:53
Arms. This is where it happened. And
10:55
recently also, which I've documented in
10:57
past vlogs back when I actually lived
10:58
here in St. Cloud, Florida, is they
11:01
about a year ago, they removed all of
11:03
the actual concrete off of here. And now
11:06
the the brick is actually back. And I
11:09
actually titled that vlog Brave the
11:11
Brick. St. Cloud Brave the Brick. And
11:13
there's been a lot of controversy with
11:15
the people who actually live in St.
11:17
Cloud and a lot of people in city hall
11:19
whether or not this is a good idea to
11:21
bring the original OG brick back. But
11:25
it's back, which is good to see that
11:27
even after a year of me not being here
11:29
that the brick is still here and they
11:32
have not put the concrete back. Bumpity
11:34
bumpy bumpy bumpy when you drive along
11:36
on the That's very very true. Bumpity
11:37
bumpy. And I was telling them that
11:39
there's a lot of people are the more
11:40
bumpy. They either like it or they do
11:42
not like it. I think it's kind of neat
11:44
to bring back a little bit of the
11:45
history and the heritage of St. Cloud,
11:47
Florida. The original Augusta block
11:50
brick that is right here. So, it's very
11:52
It makes it kind of rough on the shocks.
11:54
I know where this on the car.
11:56
I know where the brick came from. Where
11:58
did it come from? Augusta. Probably a
12:00
Georgia. Probably Georgia. Augusta
12:02
block. Yep. Augusta Georgia. Okay,
12:06
that's about it from downtown St. Cloud.
12:09
Want to keep this kind of short and
12:10
sweet but hanging out with my dad. I'm
12:13
here till Thursday. Thursday wandering
12:15
around talking about nothing. Basically,
12:18
playing every day doing nothing, hanging
12:21
out, talking to dad. But I'll be here
12:23
till Thursday. You will be here till
12:25
Friday and then Saturday and Sunday and
12:28
maybe pretty close. Yeah. And then I'll
12:30
be flying back home.
12:33
Hello. There. See, this is this is why
12:35
St. Cloud is awesome. People just
12:37
friendly. You do not get this in
12:39
California. First of all, in California,
12:41
there would be 3,000 people wandering
12:43
the streets of Orange County. You do not
12:46
see an elderly couple riding by in a in
12:49
just on a onelane area, one car driving
12:52
down a two-lane street, waving, having a
12:54
good time, smiling, laughing at us, and
12:55
that having a good time, saying, "What
12:57
are those what are those people doing
12:58
talking to their phones?" In California,
13:01
everyone just everyone's walking around
13:02
like this. Hey, I'm talking to myself.
13:04
I'm doing this. That's basically the
13:06
gist of California compared to here. So,
13:08
definitely a little bit different
13:09
ambiance here. Kind of like the old
13:12
timey town feel of St. Cloud.
13:16
All right, it's time to go. It's time to
13:18
say goodbye. What are we going to say? I
13:20
say we just say goodbye. All right, one,
13:23
two, three. Goodbye.
