TDW 1708 - The Kentucky Lawnmower Slide !

0:03 Well, well, well. Would you look at

0:03 that? Kentucky.

0:07 Good to see you. Welcome everyone. Adam

0:10 the Woo here. New state.

0:19 It's hot. A new day. It's my second

0:19 channel, daily vlog channel. It's the

0:21 daily woo. This is Fulton.

0:24 Quaint little downtown area.

0:28 Very peaceful.

0:30 These are the best places to find

0:31 vintage CocaCola signs. There a couple

0:35 of them on this block and an old bowling

0:39 alley. Peeking in the window, you can

0:41 tell it's no longer open. In fact, it's

0:43 in quite disrepair.

0:46 And walking down the way just a little

0:48 bit, you can get a relic of the past in

0:52 the form of a price board

0:55 above the snack bar. There's a nice

0:57 little relic that Brunswick ball

0:59 polisher there. And I really like the

1:03 signage.

1:08 Pretty cool. Just something about these

1:08 little two-lane roads,

1:11 narrow bridges.

1:18 Pretty nice driving kind of off the

1:18 beaten path. Cruising very slowly into

1:23 Wingo. W I N O not bingo. That's another

1:27 song. Bingo was his nameo. Somehow I

1:31 find this very difficult to believe. I

1:35 just noticed here at this gas pump there

1:37 is a sign a wooden sign carving that

1:39 says buggy parking only. And there's

1:43 some horse horse dunk. I'm going to try

1:45 to win that $100 bill right there with

1:48 this quarter.

1:57 Go, go, go. $100, here I come.

1:57 Well, I think I lost.

2:00 I wasn't expecting to see that in this

2:02 small town convenience store. Usually

2:04 you see those at state fairs and

2:05 whatnot. And check out this sign right

2:07 here. This premises is being monitored

2:09 not by a video camera, but by a 1983 35

2:13 mm photographer camera. Oh yeah. Here's

2:17 another rare one. RC Cola in the house.

2:27 Wonder what this was.

2:27 An old drive-in perhaps? Whatever it

2:30 was, the awning used to be painted red,

2:34 but now it's deteriorated a bunch and

2:38 the window busted out. Could have been a

2:40 ticket booth,

2:42 maybe. This definitely deserves a little

2:44 more investigating. Here's another

2:46 structure.

2:48 Looks like some restrooms off in the

2:50 distance. Also, some electrical fixtures

2:53 protruding out of the ground. Whoa, my

2:55 foot is caught on that. My foot was

2:56 caught on those thorns.

2:59 Man, stay away from those. My suspicions

3:02 have been confirmed. It was called the

3:04 Cardinal. And not only was it a

3:06 drive-in, but also a video store. Oh my

3:09 gosh.

3:11 This is

3:13 This is unreal.

3:22 All the VHS are still in here. Some of

3:22 these are very obscure, like Liquid

3:24 Dreams and Bikini Car Wash. Looks like a

3:26 bomb hit this place. And on the walls,

3:30 handwritten signs, $25 fee if your check

3:35 is returned. It's an old poster tube

3:37 from Disney Disney Home Video. There's

3:40 boxes of merchandise

3:49 all through here. Definitely something

3:49 you don't see every day.

4:08 It was also the snack bar

4:08 for the drive-in as well. And a vast

4:12 assortment of classic Sega Genesis video

4:16 games. Wow.

4:19 Double dribble. That brings back some

4:20 memories. a Universal Studios

4:22 promotional video with little samples of

4:25 their films on one cassette. This is

4:28 completely

4:30 mindblowing that all this is just left

4:34 here

4:36 to rot.

4:43 Incredible. Outside on the ground here

4:43 is an unraveled

4:46 film strip from one of the projectors.

4:55 That is something I have rarely seen

4:57 before. Hey, we're closed. By the way,

4:59 all our inventory is still there. Like

5:00 they just up and ran. They were in an

5:02 awful hurry for some reason. Weird. Not

5:04 a lot of greenery on the trees

5:07 through here. The grass is kind of

5:09 green, but the trees

5:12 all brown. Right here off the side of

5:14 the road, nestled in the woods, is an

5:18 old western town. There's the jail, the

5:22 bank, the hotel equipped with a skeleton

5:27 guarding the place.

5:37 Looks pretty interesting. Some turkeys

5:37 and chickens in there. Even a couple

5:40 pigs

5:42 and some goats. That's That's your

5:43 security camera up there. Security.

5:45 Yeah. High techch one. And what is this

5:46 here? Uh the barbecue quartet. The

5:48 barbecue.

5:50 For me, I've been here 11 years now.

5:51 Yep. 11 years. 11 years now. July 2005.

5:56 2005. And what is the technical name?

5:58 Technical name is Alpha Valley Pivy

6:01 Gardens and Toyland. This is my

6:03 grandparents old uh store and stuff. And

6:06 and they uh my grandfather bought the

6:08 place in 1928 and when he bought it, he

6:09 bought a two room house in Apple

6:10 Orchard. So he left side apples an apple

6:12 cider. Then in 32 this highway was

6:15 paved. So in 31 he had a house added to

6:17 so room to rent to the tourist and he

6:19 opened up this little white building and

6:20 spent everything from a So this was the

6:22 first building on the property. Spent

6:23 everything from a four seat liner gas

6:26 station and and since then you put all

6:29 this other all this other stuff. Can I

6:32 walk back in here and check this out? I

6:34 see what you did here. Surfing the web.

6:36 So you're saying everything here has a

6:38 pun to it. Has a pun to it. Yeah. You're

6:39 trying to be very punny. Yeah. Yeah.

6:41 Little ventriloquist dummy here.

6:44 Oh, what's this puppet over here in the

6:46 corner? I actually used to be a

6:47 professional puppeteer back in the 80s.

6:50 Oh, you used to be a puppeteer. So I

6:52 want my actual puppets. Did you ever do

6:53 like ventriloquism or No, I just did

6:55 puppetry. Just the puppetry. Yeah, I

6:56 love the California crazy architecture.

7:01 Oh, check it out. Here you go. A little

7:02 gatorland.

7:04 my stomping grounds. And this puppet's

7:05 eating a uh he's eating some dinner.

7:07 What does he got there? Some chicken and

7:09 biscuits and other stuff like that. Look

7:12 like he's about to chow down. Can't

7:13 believe you have Knottberry Farm

7:15 postcards. Oh yeah. Well, I This is

7:18 amazing. A little bit of everything in

7:20 here. See how old these are? They were

7:22 like really from the old days. Wow.

7:25 These are amazing. It's incredible that

7:27 you have photos of two guns which has

7:29 been abandoned for decades. I passed

7:32 through there. quite a few times just

7:34 specifically on the railroad. Oh my

7:36 gosh,

7:39 that is amazing. The story those are

7:41 that's some rare stuff you got. And then

7:45 the nuts perform at one point the horse

7:47 review for performed at at the theater I

7:48 worked at and he had in his contract

7:49 that we was driving around the entire

7:53 you got to like talk to him for a while

7:54 quite a bit and he actually It's

7:56 amazing. Always wanted to meet Paul

7:57 Ruben. So not everyone in town is a fan

7:59 of uh of your collection of goodness.

8:01 Not really. They spent two years trying

8:03 to get me out of out of town. But you're

8:04 still here. Yeah, I'm still here. You're
