Love all your videos, always like and I've been a sub for a while. Your vids have guided me most of my small local excursions. Thanks all your hard work and time you put into the videos.
Wow - your channel is a gem! You captured Savannah in its majestic beauty. Your shots of the St. John the Baptist Basilica inside and out are stunning! Kudos! Looking forward to more postings of the beautiful southeast region. Thank you for what you do!
Ripley's Believe It Or Not, leave it to Florida to allow yucky tourist trap attractions in their most historical location. They couldn't keep this one thing classy.
Don't go to St.Augustine...I rented a house one block from the beach in the center of town. The beaches are very nice, but the town is dead for things to do. Most bars/restaurants are closed by 10-11pm. We went to Old Town area, nicer area, but once you did it once, that was it.
I love pigeon forge Tennessee si much to see love all the restaurabts especially the apple barn love the smokies, lived in t Lebanon tn miss it very much
Beautifully glazed with fried food and Restaraunt chains, you’ll always be able to find a homeless person. Lakeland is the most boring rising city in Florida. Traffic, below average i;come , it seems appealing to buy a house if you can survive the uneducated neighbors or trashy neighborhoods that exist from end to end with spots of wealthiness on its outskirts.

The West End of St Augustine, has really expanded lots of great shops to see and try their foods. One Wed a month one of the vegan shop called Buena Onda 224 W King St, STA has a neighborhood block party in the back of their store and they do drumming and some sell their items. Owner also creates roll on natural perfumes and soaps & some great food, great atmosphere too! There's also a great BBQ place up on that end 609 W King St STA Ruby's Place open 11-3pm best collard greens and roasted chicken! She used to have a couple years back with her brother, no more, just Ruby it was called Ribs Chicken & More. Also we've been going to Creme De la Coca since it's opened fantastic bakery on 299 San Marcos, STA, Nils and Bailey (owners) Nils has been on the Food network a few times. Fantastic Pastries & Gorgeous Wedding cakes also makes small batch cotton candy & ice creams & artisanal chocolates, cookies, back room to enjoy your delights and they also sell Coffee. Fish House & Oyster Co 160 Nix Boat Yard STA FL during the week nights they have specials we went on Tuesday it was all you can eat 3 different ways of shrimp 19.99 pp & Thursday we had twin Lobsters 19.99! They have other specials too the other nights. Casa Benedetto's (used to be on Vilano Beach, FL) now, with all the expansion to Vilano Beach they lost their lease about 5 years ago, They're now at 197 Blackford Way (In a Plaza) STA FL, we went for lunch, fantastic for the price, Authentic NY style home cooking, great food and atmosphere.

We also love seafood, so we travel to NSB, FL to JB's Fish camp- we went two times on our last trek, ,been going for years, great place, great time, food is fantastic-in New England you can't get fresh peel & eat shrimp by the pound and listen to music!!

we're going in July and staying at the Ocean Sands hotel with a ocean view, i'm super excited as it's my first time going to Florida, i can smell the salt already lol.
Country house in the next few days later in this area is the best of luck with your friends and neighbours for their support and guidance on how much it would be a bit like the look of it, and a half hours ago save money on a daily basis of the year and the family are all well aware that the company has been sent by email to a few weeks ago by the time of booking and money are safe with us, but it was the only way.
Very difficult to estay when I have importantion emprezario my finished document to behavior all conectionew agri some egois in dedicated other fans athores i'm rich chouse multimate and different types of people in my opinion the same time as the first one is the best way to go for it is the most important part in this area is the best way.
I live here and love this town. There are so any thing to do and there is virtually no crime. You can actually let your kids play outside and not be afraid for their safety. The town has done an excellent job in preserving its history.
An interesting video could be Wewahitchka Florida.Home of the Dead Lakes,Tupelo Honey and the 1997 Golden Globe Award Movie, Ulee's Gold starring Peter Fonda and Jessica Biel in her first movie.
I grew up in Brevard and though at some point everyone gets bored with their hometown in hindsight I wouldn't have traded growing up here for anything. I'll be 60 soon and I cherish every memory I've made here.
There is no local culture. The descendants of the original Minorcan and British settlers can't afford to live in the downtown area now. Others were forced to sell off portions or all of the family's land grants.
As a big fan of WDW, I looked at purchasing a home in Celebration. The HOA covenants were quite strict and I understand strictly enforced. I thought the town center really was quite rundown and badly in need of some TLC. 🤷♂️
