That was just plain nice of you to let that kid plug his channel and talk to him like that. You are one of the best in the game, my friend, and that's the reason why. The antique store and pizza place were amazing. If I still lived in Illinois, I'd be on my way there now. Oh and that was an apple pie tree. I remember having one in the McDonald's by me in the 70s.

Another fun day. The schoolhouse pizza was my favorite. If I was kid I'd be begging my parents to go everyday. Amazing collection.

OMG! That young man was nice to hear from talking about the trains❤️

The decor at that pizza place was amazing!

I’ve lived in Joliet all my life and I never knew we had a museum, I just knew we had a weird obsession with blues brothers and route 66

ROOOOAD TRIPPPP! 🙌 🚗 That boy made the entire video. He's a future videographer 🎥 sooo adorable!

Ty Jacob for showing the Valparaiso Indiana part of Lincoln Hwy

Good trek. Loved that old pizza place and all the other stops.

That pizza restaurant is amazing!

The pizza looked so good. And that place was amazing. That train kid was so cute. Can you imagine in a few years how many more KZreadrs there will be? It is going to be come a legitimate job i think. Something fun to do. And Jacob you are one of the best and pioneers 😁👍🏼

Loved this video Jacob. You are so awesome for taking us with you and seeing the sights just please stay safe.I went and subscribed to the little train lover. I grew up beside the railroad and loved the sound at night.

That Old School Pizza looks AMAZING!! I'd totally be at home there amongst all the pop culture goodness! It puts the local Pizza place right outside the backdoor of my apartment to shame... I am enjoying your road trip videos so much! Stay safe, Jacob 🙂

Hey Jacob! So glad you got to visit your hometown. I hope that my husband and I can go in a road trip someday. The old lady figure in the pizza restaurant is Maxine. I’d like to see the Kool-Aid Discover the Dream Museum, and the Bigfoot Crossroads of America Museum in Hastings, Nebraska. Safe travels! Thanks for sharing your road-trip.

I think it's so cool that you can name everything,my brain way behind yours,lol!Thank you for these videos,so interesting and so much fun!!

I love all the trains. I love trains!

I watch these every night before bed and I’m loving going on this trip with you! I live in Canada so it’s neat to see the States from this perspective.

Keep up the awesome videos 💞

Another great road trip. Loved that pizza parlor. Have you ever been to one of those pizza places where a train brings you your food? Think there's a few of them in the midwest but forget the name of the place. I also love McDonald's nostalgia, that was an apple pie tree from the McDonaldland playgrounds of the 70's.

This series is really making me want to take the Lincoln Highway all the way out West, and then take Route 66 all the way back east.

The pizza place is amazing, thank you for taking us! That kid is cool, he might grow up to do what you do. The old lady figure sitting down is Maxine!

That antique store and the pizza place looked awesome! 🤩

Thanks for your videos. For me i tend to open up and just talk when i drive in long trips so if there's nothing to do maybe there's something to say?

Awesome Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍👍😀 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸

Wow this was like a Twilight Zone episode where you get to meet your younger self and discuss vlogging 101. What a great episode! Safe travels....

@@susanboatman7913 their candy is literally everywhere! When I go to other states stores slap their label on them and sell them as their own but it’s funny we know it’s their candy because of the A’s on gummies Seen in california , Tennessee, Texas, florida, everywhere . They’re turning into a huge corporate place like Hershey and what not.

Ive been watching your videos for a couple of years now, and I'm just finding out we're from the same town! Pretty cool.

At least the bad rain started not too long before you stopped for the night. Thanks for another cool video.

Awesome hearing Elvis "In the ghetto" and the Partridge Family " I think I love you".

Crud, I was hoping to see you Downtown in Valpo! Enjoy your trip!

I was hoping you'd show us your childhood home! I don't believe I've heard of your hometown until now. Thanks for taking us along.

Loved this, the Lincolnway thing reminds me of this road we have in the UK called the Great North road, while not aslong as we are quite literally smaller than most US states it goes from the south right up into Scotland as was the main road to London for centuries, while now some parts are disconnected as it was turned into the A1M you can see it's history in the streets it used to pass through with the Old Inns and coachhouses. I loved the Pizza place massively and the Candy dispensers (I hope you remembered your Gumball from the sword fighters and the machine in Scotts would've been in my hands in seconds) and the tour of Scotts as these are my kinda places, so Uncle Carpetbagger where to next?

Hey, hello fellow Brit! 👋

Absolutely love the road trip videos ❤️

I am loving this road trip so fun!

I love your videos, thanks for sharing. The things in the Mcdonalds tree are apple pies. It's an apple pie tree😂

I must give you all the kudos you deserve. I could never undertake such a trip, unless I used a rental and flew back. I would find the trip to SF great, but to drive back? That is where I would loose my mind..

Carpetbagger literally living the best life

Carpetbagger. Enjoying this series. Good luck out there. Have a great week.

Interesting places today. Looked up Thomas McLaurie trying to find out his history but have not found anything so far. That pizza place was awesome. So many great things to see . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

I have a friend that lives there...well used too. She was born there. I miss her from time to time.

I also grew up in Chicago/Northwest Indiana, and had I had no idea Lincoln Highway was a coast to coast highway until this current adventure of yours! Albanese sherbet bears are AMAZING!!

I'm SO glad you asked about the star wars!! LOL I was really wondering :) Always love watching your travels bud!

Did the kid have a channel or website? Loving the travel across the Lincoln Highway. Sorry we missed you in Canton

Random but I noticed I was the 60,000th view of this video! Makes me so happy to see those numbers on your channel!

What a great place you found. The pizza place. Thanks 😊 Bob

really cool to see the Ripley's pendant from Estes Park i live 30 minutes away. . would always go there when i was a kid. It was sad when they closed it down. Thanx Carpet.

Awesome video Carpetbagger! I love the Old School Pizza place. It looks awesome! I also like the characters and all the arcade machines in there. That’s so cool! I know you loved it! I also love Scott’s store. That place is cool too! It has a little bit of everything. Just an oddities shop basically! I also liked the Railroad Park you stopped at. That is a hidden gem for sure. That boy looks like you from a past life. I’ll be sure to subscribe to him on KZread. Well, thanks for sharing! Have a great day!

I live in Valpo! I grew up in this area too.I would have lost it if I saw you! Hope you enjoyed your visit Mr. B!

That's the coolest pizza place I've ever seen!

The kid at the end has major “apparently” energy

Enjoying this trip very much! Hoping you journey safely😊

Come to the old Joliet Prison this summer, we have a Blue's Brothers Con there now. Also it's awesome to see you a block away from where I used to work where Star Wars Day is held hence the action figures. You were spot on with the hunt idea.

Albanese chocolate covered gummie bears are a new addiction - uh!mazing!!!

Albanese Candy Factory is the bomb 💣and only a few minutes from my house. I wish they had the actual factory open for tours again, I think your viewers would have really liked that.

Great info of this great American Highway my friend while also making me hungry for sweet snacks!

Really cool stops on the Lincoln Highway!!

My first car a Pacer, the girls in school called it bubbles. @ 25:35. Another great video Jacob Thanks

Give Iowa some love!

Jacob, you did an outstanding job on this video. Lots of good information! Three items you passed over were two marked Seedling Miles of the Lincoln Highway at North Aurora and Malta as well as Illinois' first community cafe (The Rochelle Kitchen Table).

You are Correct, that is the Coors Beer Wolf at the Old School Pizza place 😎👍

I have heard that the Joliet prison is like the most violent one in US history with the worst conditions. So glad that I never broke a law lol

Old School Pizza was so coool!

That was Captain Crook (later know as just The Captain) who originally stole Filet-O-Fish sandwiches the way the Hamburgerlar stole hamburgers, and the Apple Pie Tree from McDonald's

I used to do work in Merrivile n Gary. Miss it a lot !

Dixon Illinois is where Ronald Reagan grew up. I bet there was some sort of commemorative spot there. Loved your visit to Albanese - they have some great treats. And they give out free samples!!!

The pizza place was super cool!

Thanks for the “Black, dark like a dolls eyes” Excellent that you remembered to do that! 😁

When you pass through Utah you'll be passing by the Great Salt Lake. Check out the SaltAir it's a music venue, it's built on the site of an old resort by the same name. The building it's self is made to resemble the old building.

I remember visiting Estes Park with my grandparents when I was maybe in Jr high or High School......We went to the Ripley's.....it's not there anymore...😢That was in the 80's...

It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses. Hit it!

Rt 66 & Lincoln Highway Very Cool 😎 😎

As a child j went to a local old fashion general syore with penny candy and you got to pjck esch piecs and they put them jn s bag. It was magical.😊

Aww what an awesome kid. It's cool you hung out. Loved the pizza place

Great to see the intersection of the Lincoln Highway and Route 66 as a true road scholar would.

You should look up the story of Big League Chew. It is interesting.

I love the Albanese store. They have the best gummies and chocolate!

what a day, nice long entertaining video. thanks jacob

I was born in Milwaukee too! But I grew up in Florida. I was born at St Michael's hospital in 1979.

Your hometown looks so pretty!

Gummy Cobb look 👀 delicious 😋

love watching your videos the trains brought back so many memories my Dad worked for both union pacific and Bnsf in Barstow California I use to ride the trains with him all the time

Killed that pizza. Things taste better when they cool off a bit for sure. You're taste buds are overwhelmed when things are that hot. Love the vlogs pal

Have a safe trip. Such fascinating places! And weird! Enjoying your journey.

really enjoy all the places you been to. can't wait to see where you go next

I'm really enjoying your trip West on the Lincoln Hwy. I live in So Nev, but have a summer property in Kingston Nev, just 20 mi S of the Linc. There's an original Hwy marker in the middle of nowhere, halfway thru Nev at Bob Scott Summit, just E of Austin. Have a Great trip, looking forward to the posts.

I figured you would have stopped in Dixon. An actual section of the Berlin Wall is on display right off of IL 38, right by the Arch. It's Ronald Reagan's hometown, dontcha know

really enjoyed this one!!! thank you! mr. carpet.......

If you ever get back to Colorado you might consider visiting the Jolly Rancher factory. I use to buy mislabeled Jolly Rancher candy the only problem was you had to buy an entire case of them.

That pizza shop is amazing.

Awesome shirt! I live in Oklahoma!

Carpet bagger I like your videos be careful out there and stay safe

Love your channel ❤️ thanks 😊
