    Fascinating, as always. There's just something about these abandoned or forgotten places. The piano is sad. Every dumped or abandoned old piano was somebody's pride and joy at one time. Somebody saved their money to buy it, invested time and effort into learning to play it, and maybe generations of kids took lessons on it. Today it's almost impossible to give them away. I guess that's progress?

    Yea, I wouldn't take a piano for free yet was offered several times. I can't handle once by myself nor ever have room to have something like that. Only a homeowner with a nice spacious house keeps one. There are still piano tuning services and even violin crafting shops in Utah for those are used in Mormon youth groups playing classical music and for churches. Everything crafted, owned, and used by people does end up in the scrapheap of history except a very few items in museums and very high level private collections held by old money families.

    You described so well the sadness of seeing this discarded part of former lives - once treasured and valued. In my 60s now, I remember those times - small town Christmas concerts where a piano would be the only accompaniment. It was a time of simplicity after which most thought they were leaving to go on to something bigger and better. There is no going back, but there is a definite realization that what we had back then was a blessing in many ways.

I live here in Southeast Pennsylvania, and every single week on letgo- offer-up, there is LITERALLY 10-15 FREE PIANOS AVAILABLE TO ANYONE WHO WANTS THEM, SIMPLY DRIVE AND PICK UP. IT'S RIDICULOUS,. Today's generation of kids wouldn't know what to do with one ,,, IF YOU COULD PRY THEM AWAY FROM BULLSHIT VIDEO GAMES OR THEIR CELL PHONES. WE ARE RAISING GENERATIONS OF USELESS ZOMBIES

    @@ellebelle8515 It saddens me to see that too. Almost everyone in my family including cousins, aunts and uncles had pianos. My mother loved to play hers. I felt so guilty after my mom passed and could not take her piano because I did not have enough space in the smaller condo where I moved. I did some serious downsizing. High mortgages, assessments, taxes, and not making the money to barely afford the basics. Times are hard!

    Fun Fact: Transylvania is a term that used to be given to large forested areas (it's actual meaning) and used to show up on maps for those regions. At one point Kentucky was going to be named Transylvania (we have an excellent college with that name). Good to see Adam on the road again! Hope the reason for the trip is a positive one.

    I love trains also having been born and raised in a railroad town(Burlington, Iowa) also like it when the train goes straight through the middle of the town instead of just being tangential to a town. My hope is that this country can bring back train travel to all parts of the country not just the big cities. When I was 8 (1955)I took a train trip with my school chums from Burlington to Gailsburg and back on one of the old steam driven locomotives. It was a real fun adventure. It is a highlight from youth. Adam see if you can find some more train stuff like you did on your previous vlog. This one was 2 thumbs up.

    I love these backroad trips. I was raised in a small town and my dad and granddad were small business owners. They served on the town council and were members of the Chamber of Commerce. Except for major things, mainly medical related, you could live in a small town your entire life and never have to leave. Those old abandoned stores provided a good middle class life for many people, and gave a sense of community to the surrounding area. All gone now.

I own an RV, (not a trailer). My favorite book is called "Blue Highways: by Least Heat Moon. Yes, that's a real name of a real person who traveled 13,000 around the U.S and wrote a book about it. "Blue" highways are the blue lines on a map that are secondary or back roads. And I love this video and want to see more.

    I love these small backwoods towns. Although I have traveled through most states, I've never been to the deep south. This really reminds me of North eastern Ontario, Canada. So many backwoods towns. Many you can't find on any maps. Some so small they still have wooden bridges and dirt roads. Thank you for uploading this video! Out of the two places I've mentioned I'd much rather have lived in some of these towns in you're video. I'm not a huge fan of Canadian winters.. lol

    I have to admire Snuffy who, back in the day, posted all of those “No Smoking” signs around his gas pumps. When I moved to Missouri I pulled into a Casey’s gas station to fill up and I noticed a staff member with a lit cigarette on a break leaning against the metal cage that holds all of the propane tanks for bbq grills. These are located about 20’ from the gas pumps. Oh well, nothing to worry about here!

    Most enjoyable! I am wondering now if some of these sad little echos of towns might have a renaissance once rural wifi is improved? The recent work from home" model has revamped how things are done in a huge way so that people really can do their jobs just about anywhere. Someone with a job in Mobile or Birmingham could retreat to Hot Coffee and snag some cheap land and raise his or thiei kids in a place where they could have 4 dogs and a pony and run wild when they aren't glued to their phones and games. Breath a little. Skip the commute but drive in to the home office once or twice a month for in person meetings. It's beautiful there!

    My mother told stories of how she and her siblings would travel from Pennsylvania to Florida most summers. Her father was too cheap to buy a car with AC. They would ride through the remains of the old south with old shacks by the road where people still lived. Old gas stations and old cars. Hot! I have been to the South quite a bit. I do not know how people survived without AC much less working in a field all day! It is brutal. Fall and winter are the best times to visit the Deep South.
