WE WENT BACK! Uncovering The Secrets of the 1841 River Hotel!

Y'all asked for it, and we went back! I'm back home in Florida now, but filmed this before heading down. My friend Brian and I returned to the hotel dump along the river in hopes to learn more about what was going on here over 18 decades ago!

    How cool is it to see pieces of history! I noticed on some of the broken bottles, the embossing/words were still intact. I wonder if one could use a glass cutter and cut out the embossed part and make hangers or frame them or something. It's a shame to let them go to waste. 😊

    Hi Kyle! Great off camera finds! When I was younger, when we got bad colds and had a cough that was so deep down from the chest and sounded like a hound dog and a hard time breathing, that was called "Croup" and it was nasty. Super finds, the baby head goes without saying lol. The perfume bottles were a very nice surprise!

    Hi Kyle, to clean those bottles really well from the inside without harsh chemicals fill them wiith newspaper flakes and fill all the way with water, let it stand for a day or 2 and poor of half of the water. Close the bottle with your thumb or the palm of your hand and give it a good shake. Then empty the bottle and do a rinse and check the result. Thank me later!

    With the decorative glass bottles, which are broken ( at the neck and depending upon shape ), you can use a simple glass cutter to score just beneath the “ shoulder “, of the bottle, gently tap and remove. You then need a Diamond file to smooth down the rim of your new drinking glasses, Kyle. This would be a fantastic talking point, at get together’s, of your collection. Recalling where you found them as well as a pretty cool addition to your kitchen , ( especially the bottles which have raised lettering). Fun hunt with some great finds! 😊🥛🍾🥃 Enjoy! Beware of the leaded glass though. It’s beautiful but does contain lead. ☺️ 🎉 Congratulations on the new album, by the way. 🎉
