When I was a kid in the 90s my grandmother lived down the street from the truck-stop on what was Pumphrey's Farm. He was her landlord and she rented a cottage on his property. It was the CUTEST little cottage! She had it made up like a doll house in there. Mr. Pumphrey died from cancer and his widow and children did not want to take over the farm and sold the land to a housing developer. So grandma had to move. Broke her heart! The land now is completely unrecognizable with McMansions but was once fertile and quiet farmland. We miss it so!

When i was little my aunt lived right behind pumphrey’s in brightwood. we used to walk back and hang out with the horses. my cousin also fished pumphrey’s pond which is now located in shipley’s choice. pumphrey’s had a ton of land back there. at least 100 acres. i wish i could’ve seen the cottage. i spent so much time in those woods as a kid and teenager. it just went on forever and ever. now it’s ugly houses and roads. what a shame.

One thing I didn't like was the discoloration of the brick under the AC units. They really should've considered either a normal central air system or at least a mini-split heat pump system where no air handler is used, instead the condensing element still sits outside but a separate wall-mounted blower/evaporator is used inside.

Housing Commission Adds Doll Apartments Updated: Aug 2, 2022 The Housing Commission adds it's newest community. In March the agency purchased the Doll Apartments in Glen Burnie to be used as transitional, opportunity housing for persons and families needing assistance to end homelessness. The 16 apartments will be renovated and updated in late 2022. There will be an onsite case management center to assist these families with independence.

I don't think they ever have a room vacant. 11:35 It is a functioning self carwash, but what keeps that place open, I'll honestly never know. Its so run down looking. Plus, you can't really see it from the road, it's too "tucked away"/hidden. 12:19 I'm always afriad of driving into that parkint lot because I feel like I'll burst into tears, it really is a depressing looking motel. (12:44 that white van has been their for quite along time and has not moved at all!) 13:40 The upkeep of this place is phenomenal. Who ever the owner is, definitely loves the place and takes good care of it. To me, those apartments are the perfect size. (I'm really interested in the house there in the back left corner.)

They really should've considered either a normal central air system or at least a mini-split heat pump system where no air handler is used, instead the condensing element still sits outside but a separate wall-mounted blower/evaporator is used inside.
I remember back in the 80s they used to be two arcade games in the local pharmacy it was space Invaders and asteroids. I would spend hours in there on the weekend and weeknights playing those games. Good memories

That diner is a dream! Thanks for the great video Dan!
Dan, the Doll motel is fantastic. Owner is absolutely amazing and has maintained the small family owned motel very well over the years. Thanks for a cool video on so many familiar places.

Same family, the apartments are owned by his sister I believe. The motel was originally opened by their parents back in the 50s.
First time watching Dan, we enjoyed it very much from Salem, MA.

welcome to the party pal!
@1:24 whenever I see those upholstered window benches that low-brow restaurants always have; I always think of Chief Wiggum, and Lou shooting the seat to deflate it, so Chief can get out.
The first truck stop is a classic oldy, the windows upstairs are sleeping rooms pre sleeper births in trucks, probably goes back to the 40s or earlier.
wow, I literally grew up in this area. Seeing these again is crazy
Yes. Makes my day so much better when I get that Dan Bell notification!!!!🎉❤❤
I googled The doll motel, surprised it was given good reviews, and stated the owner was very friendly. Photos show cozy little place. If all is actually true, it's a hidden gem.
pinball machines cost as much as used cars nowadays
Love the 1970s sign💚Big arcade. When me and a friend worked at a motel we lived in the staff house like that..
Yay! New Dan footage!!🫶
The Doll apartments are so so cute i want to live there toooo
Dan Bell playing Operation Wolf in Crab Towne ( dont forget the E) is possibly the coolest thing ever, thank you awesome Sir, and try the sequel Operation Thunderbolt, it rocks as well. Nostalgia rules and so does DB!#!
That diner was cool! Cheers, Dan
I want our truck stops back!
Thank you Dan !
In NY all these small motels are homeless shelters. I'm impressed if that's not the case in MD. Great tour Dan!
1:10 I love Diners ❤
Housing Commission Adds Doll Apartments Updated: Aug 2, 2022 The Housing Commission adds it's newest community. In March the agency purchased the Doll Apartments in Glen Burnie to be used as transitional, opportunity housing for persons and families needing assistance to end homelessness. The 16 apartments will be renovated and updated in late 2022. There will be an onsite case management center to assist these families with independence.
luv the old truckstop diner so cool it looks like something out of a Clint Eastwood movie, Im digging the arcade brings me back to the 80s
Dan: _"this is a depressing looking place"_ They all look depressing...
Bambi has seen better days, lol.
The Doll Motel is *STILL* family owned, charming, and a true trip down memory lane w modern conveniences. few left like them in the whole country. They do NOT advertise their rates online.Doll Motel is a family owned and managed motel in Glen Burnie, Maryland, providing motel accommodation's established in *1954* by Grayton Donaldson & Lee Roy .
I gotta say I'm impressed with the Doll Motel and Doll Apts. Well kept grounds, maintained buildings. At least from the outside they appear in good shape; a respectable if modest address? Depends on the neighbors of course.
Those apartments are darling!! I'd love to peek inside
That truck stop kinda reminds me of a place called Arlene's Cafe & General Store in Elkton, Oregon. It's a really cool place to stop at on the way to the coast.
Keep this stuff coming. Can't get enough of this content.
Dan you’re the man! Always love a new video from you! ❤
Great video Dan , love seeing the old motels sketchy motels in daylight ...that old diner and arcade was epic !!!
Nice video series! I once visited Baltimore. My, what a dingy, dirty city. I could never live there.
So cool to see that arcade still thriving! I was sort of watching this in the background but the moment you walked in and I heard a Dig Dug machine I was locked in lmao. Keep it up Dan
We used to hang out in that truck stop restaurant all the time. My favorite part was the old smoking section and non-smoking section used to be separated by a sign, and the parties at White Gables were epic, and I love Crabtowne USA!
Just always find these so interesting and just a time capsule of what life was like then and now 😮
Great Dan . Very interesting. Thanks.
9:40 I pass EVERY DAY to and from work and always wondered what that it would be like to stay their for atleast 1 night. I don't think they ever have a room vacant. 11:35 It is a functioning self carwash, but what keeps that place open, I'll honestly never know. Its so run down looking. Plus, you can't really see it from the road, it's too "tucked away"/hidden. 12:19 I'm always afriad of driving into that parkint lot because I feel like I'll burst into tears, it really is a depressing looking motel. (12:44 that white van has been their for quite along time and has not moved at all!) 13:40 The upkeep of this place is phenomenal. Who ever the owner is, definitely loves the place and takes good care of it. To me, those apartments are the perfect size. (I'm really interested in the house there in the back left corner.)
Dan, my absolute favorite youtuber. Always look forward to watching you and your videos.
"AYE, YOU NEED SOME HELP??!??" then the abrupt cut 😭 You ok?
All of this reminds me of south Richmond (301, used to be known as Jeff Davis hwy, but now known as Richmond hwy) there were lots of random motels and apartments just outside RVA but on the way into chesterfield. It’s been 20 years since I went down there. Your video made me wonder what it looks like now.

What?!?!! Someone just asked about my ADR Keychain today…. And now i see this! Many thanks for the work you do! Howdy from Galveston!!
all those early nintendo arcade cabs 😍
Ha! That motel room you got into said 1408 Super creepy movie!
Awesome Dan. Made my afternoon.
That Doll Motel looks like something Charles Phoenix would find
Oh yay! Love this channel ❤
Dan Bell: Big Buck Hunter
Thank you!
That Doll motel and the apts look nice!
I loved looking through the abandoned motel at the end. The terrifying stairway to the basement 😱
Only a few no tell motels left in city nearby us. A sketchy tiny trailer park was closed & torn down 25 years ago after a police stand off. Our company made us shelter in place until it was over. That was the last straw, and everybody got evicted.
I absolutely love your videos!!! ❤❤
Looking forward to tomorrow's Saturday night stream, Hope you're doing great Dan !
I was about to ask if you’ve visited White Gables and you pulled in as I was picking up my phone. 😂 I always thought the Swan Motel across the street from The Beltway Motel felt pretty sketchy.
9:33 it’s a motel, not a private residence. Someone always has to be a badass and show those KZreadrs who’s boss.
That arcade was legit, it looks like whoever is maintaining those takes pride in their work.
funny about the doll hotel, is that ALL the cars BACKED INTO the parking spots. NO BODY DOES THAT!! SUSPICIOUS!!!!!
Ah, you're driving around the area I grew up!! So cool to see you around the area.
MUCH LOVE!
lol "Delicious Brews, flirty views"
Thank you so much for all your work, especially the john waters spots bc i love him to pieces but would never feel safe going to Baltimore and seeing them myself alone
OMG, from the first milisecond of the video I knew where you were. The truck stop and White Gables Motel are pretty much in my backyard!!!
I had to laugh when you walked into that room at the white motel. I think it was the room number 1408. Remind me of the trailer Park boys when they bought the motel. Jay Roc walks in there and said, it smells like a tuna melt with a side order a shit😂
Doing what i like to do when i was a little kid i lived out fort meade, jessup area. Havent lived there in 35 yrs or more but recently was out that way so to a ride round the area see whats changed
High Speed. I spent way too much time playing that pinball game in community college.
Dude, that arcade makes me want to play some pinball so bad
ADR Season 3 anytime soon, sir?? That would literally make my year. 🙏
Dan I love all of your videos! Keep up the good work and keeo exploring!
flip flops in that shower
More sketchy motels Dan! You need more sketchy motels.
White Gables Motel “Delicious brews, flirty views” 🤣🤣🤣wtf??!!!
