Florida Roadside Attractions & Abandoned Places - Forgotten Boardwalk & Ghost Town Of Homeland 

MY NEW VIDEO ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CBFrK-n4HmA.htmlsi=R1ntFjpqM3k80TFx

I grew up in the town just before Homeland. Fort Meade. I had family that lived in Homeland. On the other side of that intersection the a bigger cemetery called the Homeland Cemetery. My grandparents, Aunts and Uncles are buried out there. Loving these roadside videos.

Amazing! Thank you for posting this because I actually live in Homeland! 😂 It’s a very small interesting rural area. Lots of history. If it weren’t for the cars & semi’s trucking through it would be deafening quiet. When I first moved here I was washing dishes, looked out of the kitchen window and saw the neighbors walking their pigs on leashes. Had to do a triple take lol The post office is cute, efficient and an added plus, no waits. Their delivery is FAST! The Orange Blossom Honey locally grown is delicious (And pay by honor system) Also an event to maybe check out would be The Alafia River Rendezvous which happens here in Homeland up on the hill in late January (largest pre-1840s encampment).

I drove Flatbed 18 wheeler out of Tampa Fl back in the 90's .I ran a 48,500 pound load of sheetrock from Port Tampa to a warehouse in that little town of Homeland ..A Cool little town

The old towns are very interesting, love old architecture and always fascinated that these old , simplistic buildings have lasted so long in this Florida environment. They really knew how to build things to last. Definitely have my vote to keep exploring the old towns, :)

Loved the Heritage Center and the boardwalk stroll, obviously needing some TLC. Hope the black and white cat had a caregiver there at the park.

I love these videos. Being a Central FL resident it gives me ideas of places to go. I've already mapped out where that honey stand is to visit next time I go to Bartow. Keep up the great work.

Another great back roads video😎Loved the pioneer town, especially the Cabin😁Simpler times💜

I love these videos of time forgotten. It's sad to me that they are in such disrepair. But I am thankful that you and others find them and document them. Thank you my friend, and please be safe out there! God bless ❤️ 🙏 ❤️

I really love your Florida Roadside Attractions and Abandoned Places series. I was a little concerned about you wandering out so far on that boardwalk, but when I was your age I was adventurous like that also and would have done the same thing wanting to know where it led to. Keep making videos like this because it is important not to forget the history of these places.

Jay, I can’t believe you missed the 38-star flag hanging in the old schoolroom. Nice tour of out-of-the-way places. That would help date that classroom.

I just discovered your channel and as a budding photographer you have given me so many ideas to travel within Florida and explore.

Love the back road videos!!!! Keep them coming. ❤️

we like your videos and how you present your videos of older towns across fla .... we are not too interested in movie locations but can see why some fans like those ... keep up the good work

Really enjoy these videos. It’s very calming to see these remote locations. These are my favorite kind of videos. Thanks for all you do!

Not from Florida but lived here since 1990 from TN, I love the small towns and the history of Florida, so much to see, thank you!

Be careful out there Jay! That boardwalk through the swamp looks like where that lady had a Florida Panther run past her! Quiet and peaceful but also looks like where they dump the bodies!

Jay, the back roads/ old Florida are a nice change of pace from theme parks/ haunts. They really show your versatility.

Just discovered your channel. Very well done. I like the laid back vibe and respect for history. God bless and safe travels.

This was an awesome video! thank you for doing what you do!!! I love the old Florida series so much.

Aw so sad that they are not conserving that boardwalk. It’s so beautiful! 😊

I like how you randomly found these interesting things and even made a new kitty friend! I never would have thought that huge walkway would be out there too bad the hurricane messed it up some. That was a pretty Church!

Thanks for the memories Jay. Haven't been down that way in 25 years or so. Like someone mentioned I always remember calling it Home-Lin. Great bass fishing in that area. Even remember a lake being called "Million Dollar Lake" (or something like that) because one of the phosphate mines got too close to the peace river and the river filled up the hole. They fined the mine a million dollars which is how it got its name.

Some good old Florida History there TJ. Thanks for bringing us along

Thar boardwalk is so sad --I hope someone fixes it up and improves the area !!!

I really like these Roadside - Abandoned places videos. Thanks and keep it up.

As an avid explorer myself, I’m loving your Road Side videos! You’re doing an amazing job. Let me know if you ever wanna visit a cemetery in the middle of no where called Bull Creek Cemetery

You play a Great Tour Guide through the unknown areas, keep it up and hope to see Cris The Girl soon join you!

I think old Florida is cool to see…. Thanks Jay

So many cool things to see in this sweet little town. We love how much reverence you always pay at the small town cemeteries. Also, DJ Kitty for real!! It was too cute watching him follow you on camera!

Keep these going, Jay. I hope that as more people become aware of our home State's history, things will get better in the preservation department. The boardwalk is heartbreaking!!!!! When it's wet season, a couple of years ago it was amazing!!! Hopefully Polk County will fix it soon!!!

Yes! old abandoned Florida and cemetery content is my favorite! My great grandfather was a "Raulerson" and was born in Polk county. I didn't know about this park 👍 very cool!

Florida Roadside Attractions & Abandoned Places are enjoyable, and I have only watched about 4. Thank you for the tour!

I am born and raised in Arizona, As a kid in school, we went to that town you were talking about, pioneer village or whatever they call it here for field trips.

I grew up in this town. Loved across the street from the big building by the post office. That use to be a meat market. Thanks for sharing.

I like your 'abandoned places' videos as much as the fun ones. Makes me feel humbled.

I met a guy at I.U. from spiceland, he ran away from me when I told him I was from the calumet region.

Very cool roadside attractions. I love old houses.

HEY,... TAMPA JAY & CIRS The Girl. Well Just wanted to say thank you for all the awesome videos I Really appreciate and enjoy your videos of just cruising around on the back roads so Great 👍 OK guys keep The video's coming out take care stay safe and will see you on soon....Yes because there's always so much ahead

I love the old towns, the awesome history of the old church. Florida has some beautiful places. I hope you do more of these places. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe..

The roadside attractions and historic places are my favs. Thanks for sharing them with us .

I enjoy small town exploring. & Dj kitty on the front porch lol stay safe

I think that is so neat, someone from the mid west taking interest in the old Florida! I was partially raised in Fla. until my folks decided to move back to N.C. A lot of good memories living in Flagler Co.

They are my favorite videos. Absolutely love them!

We love to watch all of your videos. These are definitely our favorite. ❤️

Wow Jay such a cool video! I love these historic roadside attractions, they show the real Florida. Through your videos I get to see & learn about the hidden gems like this one.

I love all your videos. I started watching yours when you and Adam the Woo went to Ray's games. And have been watching them ever since. In fact, you guys have made me a Ray's fan. I'm from Colorado and not a Rockies fan. So can't wait to see Ray's play Rockies here in Denver. Thanks again for your videos!

Jay, I really enjoy the content you produce it allows us to see places we might otherwise never see so Thanks for what you do.

Just watched this one. Love your videos. They mean so much to us. Adding that heritage park to my bucket list. Thanks for all you do.

Very cool. Beautiful backroads

Thanks for Sharing this Video. 📹❤

I stumbled on to this and it’s comfy. Keep em coming!

Hi Jay!🙋 Love history of places. Yes it does look like texas chainsaw house. 😮 Kitty is so adorable. Beautiful buildings. Boardwalk area is beautiful but sad the condition of it. Awesome video. Have a great day.

Hi Tampa Jay , my family and I are really enjoying the Florida Roadside series. Good work. Thanks

I enjoy watching this type of info. Thanks

In an otherwise booming Polk County,it's cool to find these nearly deserted places.

Aw yeah, love these

Thank you for sharing. I love road trips, however haven't been doing any for a while... hopefully next year I can do some road travel❤!Unbelievable stuff you learn and people you meet when on the road! Old cemeteries, schools, landmarks, abandoned holes, stores and awesome architecture ...

We live next door to Martin’s Grocery in Homeland, and I think we met you when you were recording! Should have told me, I would have let you into the building lol

Thanks Jay.

Beautiful

Loved this video! Your old attraction videos and small town videos are great! Keep it going! Your baseball videos are fun too, especially with Adam!

As always great video Tampa Jay. I always look forward to your videos.

Awesome job love your videos!

And I'm back for more greatness❤❤❤😊😊😊😊.

Thanks for letting us visit places where we would probably never have the chance to see.

All your material is good.

Super video. Love the places we can't easily find as a tourist.

I absolutely love these videos. Please keep doing this type of video.

Watched some older videos in the past but subscribed today. enjoy all these videos. My grandson was in school at the IMG academy near Tampa so I live in Sebastian, Fl and have drive through some of those roads. Ted in Sebastian, Fl.

Off the beaten path, cool video. Old cemeteries, souls resting in peace. Don't bring any ghosts back home!

I love your roadside attractions videos. I love seeing the real Florida. Do more!

Love your videos on this carrabelle an crawfordville..this area of fl so interesting

Pretty building❤

I enjoyed watching thanks

Dang, a few miles down the road from my homestead! I had no idea about the boardwalk and seeing the amount of leaves even the locals seem not to know it was there. I'll have to make a day trip down there as it's so close to my place!

Great videos thanks for taking this subtrip to all these florida attractions.. But that boardwalk you're on, they sure have let that go bad. The city ought to be ashamed themselves... Other than that, great videos. Keep up the good work... Thanks for showers around florida..

Sweet love the video

Definitely Texas Chainsaw vibes 🪚

pretty interesting, keep it up, I enjoy your videos.

Love it 😂

As always Jay love the videos

I've noticed lately that you're adding more music over parts, like in your intro to this one. I like that! It inspires me to keep attempting to do that with mine...It can be frustrating trying so hard to get the right music to invoke the right emotion (while also avoiding copyright claims)...but then seeing videos that don't use music at all & thinking, "Well they're getting views anyway...Maybe I shouldn't bother either?" But the music adds to the experience. Also (& this one is really random) love that you mentioned Mel Tillis. Not long before he passed, he performed for awhile at the theatre I was working at. Brings back some funny memories (...Most of which are...um...probably not PG rated enough to add to this comment)!

hi mate love these type of videos seeing places i will never see

You keep finding these interesting places that I’ve never even heard of. I’ve got some exploring to do...

That was definitely a relative of DJ kitty. The Heritage park was fantastic. It's neat seeing the history.

I love your videos ❤
