been to Yoakum many times when I was a kid. My grandmother Gerda Jetzald lived there and sold Avon. Lived on Hopkins street I believe. I remember TexTan Leather. Use to go to Shiner also to the Shiner Brewery. Bud Jetzald was my step grandfather. I think this is the place I played on stage, like a little grand ole orphrey with piano player AA Carter and some others, that was back in the late 80s..

Do you have some photos of your brainstorming?

I live here

The Grand Theater bring back a lot of memories. I remember in the early 60's when the 10 Commandments came out the high school was closed and everyone went to see this movie. You couldn't do that today. I remember the tomato sheds on 1st street. We would load up our pickup with tomatoes, wait in line to unload them. I believe we got .02 cents per lb. Back in the days we had two hotels, 5 limber yards, 4 car dealers, a candy company, a mattress company, 2 banks now 3, 3 hardware type stores, 3 drug stores, 2 dry cleaners, Swift turkey processing plant next to HEB and a multitude of other stores. I remember the Dinky passenger train. It would I believe start in Yorktown go through Cuero, Yoakum and on to Houston. I remember seeing a building next to Drive In Cleaners that said "Dinky Stop Cafe (Hilda)". I knew someone would either take the sign or it would be destroyed. I stopped and took several pictures of it. If this train was running today no telling how many people would travel back and forth to Houston to work. Going down the middle of town I could name all the business from Perry Brothers to K-Woolen and most on the other side. The railroad payed a big part of Yoakum. The truck industry took over and things went down hill from there. Now with the shortage of truck drivers wouldn't it be nice if all that land behind HEB was re-purposed for train traffic use. Talking about the Covid's beginning we stopped at one of the Mexican restaurant people frequent. I was shocked that almost no one was wearing a mask. The wait staff had theirs on but people were coming in shaking hands greeting other people as if nothing is happening. I called one of the beauty shops and ask if they abiding by the Covid protocol. They told me just come on in as business as usual. The place I get my hair cut required a temp. test and fill out a the Covid questionnaire. It's no wonder Lavaca County and probably Dewitt are leading the way for Covid infections. Thanks for this video. These small towns in Texas all have a story to tell.

Cool

Very cool :D

My Grandma used to be one of the Pastors here. I used to venture around this place so often as a child. I even found some of the old movie ad clippings. I believe this place birthed my curious mind that I have today.

I was born in the late 40’s and grew up in Yoakum. I went to Eastside elementary, Yoakum Jr. High School and Yoakum High School. After high school I moved to Corpus Christi to attend college. I could name most of the business that used to be in Yoakum. Now they are vacant or under new names. At one time Yoakum had 2 hotels, about 5 car dealerships, 3 lumber companies, 2 banks, 3 drug stores, 3 main grocery stores and a few community grocery stores. It had a candy company, a canning company and even a mattress company. There were a numerous leather companies. I remember the Yoakum Herald Times. You could look through the windows and see the men type setting their equipment to print out the weekly newspaper. My dad always told me “Time Changes Things”. The older I get the more I understand what he meant. There was a passenger train that would run from Yorktown to Cuero through Yoakum and east onto Houston. It was called the Dinky. I remember a café on Front Street called the Dinky Stop Café. I stopped and took a picture of the Dinky Stop Café’s sign. I figure someone would throw a rock through it. I still have those pictures. As Houston is growing I thought if that train was still running no telling how many people would ride it commuting to work. I remember tall palm trees close to the Tex Tan Welhausen building. My dad said he helped plant them. I took a picture of the last one. It has long disappeared. I remember going to Perry Brother’s store. My dad would give me .05 cents to buy some candy. Five cents was a lot of money to a young boy. People graduate from High School, head to college and end up in Houston, Austin or Victoria. They still remember the good times we had in Yoakum.

First

The first movie I remember seeing at a theater was Home Alone right at the grand in yoakum......they have done an AMAZING job reopening it. The people running it are fantastic, its really great for the community. Now my kids got to experience the theater in yoakum.

It's good Bro ! Keep Up The Work!.

Very well done, very nicely edited, especially the 'montage' part, with the fast cuts. It was really well done. I know no Spanish, but understood the film, so I think you succeeded!

Shooting a no diologue movie is very tough and a great skill to learn. Congrats on making it, I am going to go check it out!

Loved it! 👏🏼👏🏼

Oh god that's alot editing just too make a video. Hehe I'm top comment

Do you get any writing done in the horrible Dallas traffic? :)

🎬🎥

What kind of camera do you use?

😂😂😂

Cool story man...seeing you out all this time and effort into it... can I know what the story is about ?

Great vid! Putting a lot of effort into bts, you got a gopro strapped to your head?

Bro, Major tip, look more into the camera! Act as if you were speaking to another person when you speak to the camera. Like the lens is another pair of eyes. You wouldn’t talk to somebody lookin the other way right? I think that will project your voice better and clearer. Engage your audience more as if you were speaking to them with some direct eye contact. I see you’re just tying to speak to the microphone so I think if you just fixed your camera angle or position it so you can look directly at it while speaking to the mic. I think you can see major improvement with that. Thanks if you hear my advice but you’re doing everything great man just keep working.

Good video.

Bro, Your quality and way you edit is amazing, don't ever stop with youtube

Hey man! Saw your comment on my vid so came to check yours out and very inspiring man! You're very passionate and really hope it goes well. Inspires me to pick up my pace on my 2nd film, very relatable. And watch Psycho, it will be one of your favourites!

Hello! Do you also make fiction films? I've been working on a very interesting short movie about the beginning of life 🎥🎞 It's currently playing on exclusive film festivals but we decided to also make it available on KZbin, just search for "EXPERIMENTAL SHORT FILM BABY" It would be great if we could work together on something, Thanks 👍

Boo

I say to go all out on it as much as you can.😁 Edit: Without going into debt. Another edit: dab on all the haters

Im ready. Bring it on.

Love this one. I think it's my favorite so far. Keep up the good work Earthlings. 👽👾

I’m disgusting. I’ll pay anyone to end my life.
