    As tourist we never get to see these backroads as we fly over or drive the interstate . These are treasures of a simpler time that deserve to be shown. Thank you Adam for being our guide. We have missed you.

    All of these towns were alive and busy in the 1950-60's. I was born in 1952 and these towns were part of my life. Sad to see them decaying.😢 Makes me sad but glad to see you there Adam!! That was a sugar cane mill I am rather sure. I saw them in action. A mule would make circles grinding the sugar cane into juice. Man I am feeling old....🙄My maternal granfather lived in Blackmon, Florida. So much of my history in those old towns. Thank you for this video!❤

    Imagine when all those derelict buildings were first opened they would've been the pride of the town. Imagine the stories and history those buildings could tell you if they spoke. I find old run down towns and buildings fascinating. Thank you for these types of videos they're very enjoyable.

    Per Two Egg historian Dale Cox: According to Mr. John Henry Pittman, who for many years ran one of the stores in Two Egg, the name originated when two small boys came into the store day after day to trade two eggs for a small amount of sugar. The owner of the store was having a bad week and, in frustration, made a remark that included the line, "This is nothing but a "two egg" town." A traveling salesman (or "drummer") was in the store at the time and began to spread the story. The name caught on and before long the community, previously called Allison, became known as Two Egg. The name first appeared on State Highway maps during the 1940s and remains there to this day. Other versions differ slightly, but that's the story in a nutshell.

    That's where my family is from, Malone and Marianna. Still have family there. When I was little my Granny would tell us if we blinked we'd miss Two Egg. My cousin is the manager of the IGA in Malone.

    25:29 That's a cane grinder. The well looking thing is actually where they cook the syrup in a big cauldron/wok thing. That's why its covered so stuff don't fall in while cooking.
  • 27:52 A spine-tingling moment for me. I bought a coke here in 1987. I was riding my bicycle from Lake Worth, Fl to Boise, ID and I stopped at this very place. Then I rode on to Florala. I picked and ate mayberries along the way.
  • @trexw1888

  • Berrydale Forestry camp was a minimum security prison that closed in 2017 due to due to the need for extensive and costly repairs to the infrastructure of its facilities.👍🏼

    Whenever you find a closed down gas station, you should always show the gas pumps and the last price per gallon, this will give us an approximation of when the gas station closed.
