I'm a sucker for a good fast food glass promotion. I don't remember these as a kid because I grew up in Texas and I don't think we even had an Arby's in that area. The thrift store in the video is across the highway from an older Arby's here in Virginia. The glass is from 1985, but I can't find a commercial for that year. The Arby's I go to in the short is in a completely different city in Virginia, and I love it still has the original sign. Thanks for watching!

Hi! I just found you when watching videos about the filming locations for Dirty Dancing. You were kind enough to direct me to the more recent follow up video you did there, so I decided to browse your content and I found this one. Ha ha...yeah! I was into the trial BIG TIME! I even joined a discussion group for it on facebook and was watching attourneys on you tube who were reporting on the case. This trial happened in a time in my life when I had just become fascinated with dynamics between masculine and feminine, and I was enthralled with watching those dynamics play out between Johnny and Amber and their legal teams. As litigation progressed, I grew more confident that Johnny would win. The weather that spring was very different than this year when you did your follow up video for Mountain Lake Lodge. And also, since you do retro videos, and live close, I'm wondering if you would consider doing a video on Winchester (home of Patsy Cline).
