[@noblewick]

The neon boneyard hotel casino resort museum in Las Vegas is very cool as well. I must go see this some day too.

[@BmoreLioness]

Congratulations to Annabelle on her graduation!! Such a surreal time in life.

[@deniseboldea1624]

I do miss the bright neon signs that used to light the way to the hotel's at night. Best wishes to your daughter on her graduation.

[@justjeepin]

My father-in-law was one of the sign installers that originally installed Metrobot and also helped in the refurbishment.

[@emilyfrost5781]

The sign museum is so much fun! Thanks for bringing back good memories!

[@rachelstabler7802]

I like the regular Big Boy mascot. Congratulations to your daughter on her graduation!!!!

[@christopherm5958]

Holy crap Jacob, I didn't imagine you had a grown up daughter. So happy for her congratulations. Also to her proud father.😊

[@derenkellom]

fun fact: the cincinnati 'sign' gardens sign came from the old cincinnati gardens arena that closed its doors in 2013 and ended up being demoshiled in 2018. It was a former home to the Cincinnati Royals our first and only NBA team and also hosted concerts from greats like Elvis, the Jackson 5, Madonna, The Grateful Dead and many others too being that it was one of our more prolific venues from the 50s until the 2000s!

[@highbidder3952]

And the Beatles

[@Mustang5458]

Adding when the Who played here..Home town of Kroger, P&G and Macy's..Cincinnati is exceptional. Born & raised here, I remember alot of these signs when they hung on the businesses.Welcome back to our fair town. We love to have you.

[@grandee4383]

Congratulations to Anna!!!🎓 I wish her all the best for her future!! Hope you enjoyed celebrating with the family Jacob!

[@mikehughes4969]

That Holiday Inn made me nostalgic. On our annual road trip to Florida, we would generally stay at either Holiday Inn or Howard Johnson's. Just the sight of it brought back so many childhood memories and put a smile on my face that I suspect will last the rest of the day. Oh, and did you tune into WKRP when you were in Cincinnati?😐

[@eskieguy9355]

I remember trying Bubble Up. Couldn't have been all that memorable, because I remember trying SunDrop, which I still drink, and Dr. Pepper which really got my attention, probably in 1960. I actually like both of the Big boys, although I grew up with Marc's.

[@Jarvel5]

Truly a hidden gem in Cincy. Very neat place to visit!

[@mattrost2574]

Being a senior from Cincinnati, I recognize many of the signs. I've never been to this museum. You've inspired me to visit! Thanks!

[@derenkellom]

love my city and i love you thanks for always showing Cincy love!!!

[@acedaryl2]

The current team is the Cincinnati Reds. The original team was the Cincinnati Red Stockings, named for their long red socks, which were a novelty at the time.

[@annaratliff4638]

My dad was in neon sign dealing and installation when I was a teen. I loved going to work with him and watching the signs light up

[@donnahawkins3135]

I knew you'd enjoy having your car back I know everybody else I'm glad to see you too just hope you have a great and wonderful day today

[@opens11]

I absolutely love neon signage and miss it so dearly.

[@vanessatayler3507]

They had some amazing old sign's. Enjoy your daughter's graduation🎓🎉 and some family time.

[@chrishutchinson2297]

All of the neon signs were amazing. I wish they would bring them back. I am so glad you finally got your car back. You certainly went through an ordeal with that car situation. Also, send my congratulations to your beautiful daughter on her graduation. Enjoy your time with your family.

[@kimmiewho4320]

Congratulations to your daughter! Glad you are back in your car!

[@robylove9190]

Enjoy spending time with family this weekend. Annabelle's graduation is a big deal. Just be a proud Daddy and let her know how much you love her ❤️

[@mikealanfromchicagoland1209]

Happy it all worked out in getting your car back! Safe travels.

[@OffRampAdventures]

"Signs of the times," for sure! Nice coverage! Great info! They should bring neon back!

[@septembersullivan5072]

Definitely remember the Casanos sign “in the wild”.

[@Thecorgially]

Jacob, you ate the best. Everything you choose to show is new and refreshing. Not the same old, same old.

[@Truckguy1970]

@9:30 that clicking noise you're hearing is actually the mechanical flasher. It is driven by a small motor that turns a wheel or a drum with a lot of contacts on it which makes it look like the bulbs are chasing each other lol

[@greggseiter1412]

My home town. Suders Art store in the neon section is where I purchased my art supplies. The newest addition on the outside of the building is what was displayed on the recently torn down Cincinnati Gardens in March 2018, where several professional sports were played and many famous bands and singers performed.

[@donnytucker]

That museum is amazing. All that neon! ♥

[@fadedgallipolirblx275]

Dang I always miss you when you're in my hometown

[@AnaGonzalez-yo9iz]

I'm so glad you finally got your car back! I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for taking me to places I don't think I will ever be able to personally go to myself!

[@charlieevilpig7776]

At that time, the Reds were known as the Cincinnati Red Socks, hence the red socks on the player. Cassanos is still in business and is the favorite in my family and my friends as well!

[@Segafishy]

I do love signage, I grew up spending a lot of time around Coastal towns that used lots and lots of lit signage on their main strips. Neon is acctually making a bit of a comeback although a lot of it is the faux kind where its diffused LEDs (I've got a couple of examples myself) which look similar but are a bit more sturdy and less power hungry.

[@loriwalker5922]

Good to see you in my home state of Ohio. I prefer Frisch’s Big Boy. Miss it now that I live in Florida. They are building a Skyline Chilli close by. I never been to this Museum. Didn’t even know it was in Cincinnati. Lol Thank you for the video! O-H-I-O 😊

[@Truckguy1970]

I was working for a contractor back in the 90s on a Holiday Inn and their Neon sign was fed with 277 volts!

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Awesome neon signs Jacob, it was neat 👍 like that one sign call Gross hardware lol. Thanks for sharing 🙏🤓

[@gabrielaisabel224]

you should come visit tucson, az! we have a neon sign museum with old signs from local businesses. they also do neon sign making classes and some demonstrations that are pretty cool. great video, i wish we would bring this back! it’s such a cool and unique way to advertise for businesses!

[@JonStallings]

I find it interesting the random things I remember as a child. Once my Dad took me with him to a place that made or repaired neon signs in Atlanta As a very young child it was a place of great curiosity. I remember it having a weird glow from all the different colors being worked. I was not allowed to touch anything 😄 - Great video Jacob

[@crush41gb]

Arby's/ RB is for Raffel Brothers. The founders. The sound of the lights flickering sounds like the Shining lol.

[@will2003michael2003]

Always enjoy your stuff, thanks for making it

[@spencerrebosmax7915]

37:26 Happy face cloud on the upper right holding a thumbs up

[@dawnbenchley7237]

Awesome sign museum!

[@dragonfye1]

This was FUN. Living in rural Addison County Vermont, I don’t get to see a lot of neon or fancy lighted signs like that. We tend to lean towards simple wooden signs around here…unless your talking a chain Gas station, grocery store or fast food restaurant. Since most non chain stores are closed by dinnertime around here, many signs are BARELY lit at all. 😅

[@sydneyadams4758]

Congratulations to your daughter, and God Bless~

[@silverghostcat1924]

Enjoy your family time 💖💖💖 Congratulations to Annabelle 🎈 and smooth sailing at college 😺

[@Victor-mc1sz]

Nice find with the American Sign Museum, definitely adding it to my visit list.

[@waterhorse5199]

Hi, Jacob! 👋 That mural reminds me of Norman Rockwell. Great video, as always!

[@JDiology]

Those clouds look sooo surreal!

[@dianadelahaye7660]

You have a great voice in museums, very calming and interested in all😊

[@allensherrill850]

I’m amazed with neon signs. I had a garage full of them. Thanks for this episode

[@scottwebster5211]

When I was a kid in the sixties when were on vacation the holiday inn sign was a beacon the night... that my dad would drive right by and we would stay at the crappy hotel down the road

[@bryanyoung4016]

What a great thing to remember I love memories like that

[@mattlucas3609]

Hey Jacob! You mentioned the last Howard Johnsons restaurant in Lake George. I used to eat there all the time with my family while we were on vacation in Lake George, I was sad to see it close after all those years. I'd love to see you head back to Lake George soon and see what's new there. Also you could make an amazing video on the history of the French and Indian War and visit Fort William Henry. Also the movie "The Last of the Mohicans" took place all around Lake George (not filmed there) but real events took place there. And they do ghost tours!

[@GLI1346101]

3:18 Cincinnati Red Stockings was the old Major League Baseball team in the late 1800s or last half of the 19th century, which would later become the Cincinnati Reds. There is even a Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum next door to the ballpark they play at.

[@ToyAddict]

Wow! I can't believe that Annabelle is graduating high school. 😊 Congratulations to her and you! 🎓🎓

[@wilkinsb64]

Congrats daughter bagger!! Good Luck in your future endeavors!

[@MrJohnnyCash1932]

Such a lovely video! Thank you Mr Carpetbagger 😊

[@happysavage6660]

A troll phone...on a robots ankle. lol I guess that is pretty cute and funny honestly. lol I like the neon signs, I always wanted neon/bulb signs in my home back then when I was a kid. Because it seemed cool, to own vintage signs when I was younger back in the early 2000s.

[@brendanshank2299]

YOU"RE IN MY HOMETOWN JACOB!!!! hope we treat you right I know we will also hope you go to Kings island soon!!!!!! I'm a Skyline guy through and through but both are perfect and congrats on your daughter graduating enjoy your family time STAY SAFE PLEASE!!!!!!

[@karentucker2161]

This is pretty cool! Thank you for taking us along with you to interesting place, and showing us places that a lot of us never heard of before!

[@connieoliver7369]

I live in Cincinnati, and I remember many of the signs you showed from the Cincinnati area. Habigs Home Cooking was a great place to eat so many good memories

[@MissouriPenny]

Enjoyed replay thanks for sharing your channel 😀 👍🏼 😊

[@rodkukura]

Nice, thanks,love neon it's an art and in my opinion is beautiful.

[@jack2breeze]

5:23 Spanky`s was a pizza parlor named after Spanky of Our Gang/Little Rascals. We had one in our town back in the 80`s

[@lamars2486]

❤❤❤❤ old neon signs, miss em

[@brendakrieger7000]

So cool🪧 Thoroughly enjoyed this museum🥰😻

[@rayrae204]

Cincinnatian, here... Habig's was one of my favorite signs from childhood! Papa Dino's Pizza was so delicious! I knew these businesses! Good times.

[@rayrae204]

The Mural is in a neighborhood called "Camp Washington"...hince, Washington in campy drag...

[@WitchidWitchid]

On the Howard Johnsons sign the boy is ""Simple Simon", the baker is "The Pie-man". From the old nursery rhyme called Simple Simon that went, "Simple Simon met a Pie-man going to the fair, said Simple Simon to the Pie-mam "let me taste your wares". Said the Pie-man to Simple Simon "are you going to pay??". Said Simple Simon "of course I have none".... There are at least 4 other verses but this is all I can recall right now.

[@davidhernander7217]

Jacob the carpetbagger that phone was freaky Crazy as hell ringing by it self that was nuts😂

[@discostu5426]

I love the Holiday Inn sign too!

[@tiffanylove9140]

Congrats to your daughter Jacob

[@Kpopk1ng]

OMG I LOVED VISITING THIS PLACE

[@Eric-Indiana]

Personal favorite for me... The Gross Hardware hammer from Columbus, Indiana...my hometown 😊

[@proconsumersafety]

Now after the ringing phone, when you go back to your hotel, if the phone rings, be aware. Run! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the graduation.

[@jenniferthrasher3058]

Cool signs!

[@dougandlina]

The McDonalds sign came from Huntsville, Alabama, I used to see that sign all of the time when we lived there.

[@cmucodemonkey]

In my hometown there is still a tobacco ad painting on the side of a brick building.

[@lauriemathon7074]

Always!enjoy your videos❤ omg I can see things places that I never would have. Thank you 💕

[@jeremyheath6178]

Signs Signs Everywhere there's Signs 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

[@elsiegon7118]

I love this!! No wonder you have people hating on you!!! Your videos are AMAZING!!!! 😊❤ All the places you go to, are AWESOME!!

[@handicappedtraveler]

The baseball team is the Cincinnati Reds and I am pretty sure Spanky's is a restaurant, Great job as always Jacob

[@purplesquirrelgaming1465]

That mural with the baseball player is from the Cincinnati reds

[@mizu_the_floatzel]

So happy to see your in the road again ^^ hope you're newly fixed car stay safe to get you where you need to get to also when your back in New Jersey there some great spots to eat here ^^

[@lydiapurple]

Congratulations Anna! 👩‍🎓👩‍🎓

[@Douglie007]

That big bear was for the Big Bear Department stores. They went out of business in the early 2000s. And Cassano's pizza is amazing. They are Dayton staple, so if you visit the Dayton area, get a small pie to try.

[@Notwithnonsense]

The Cincinnati Reds is the team in the mural.

[@bekkah8112]

guy in the background as the payphone rings "yeah it does that but aint nobody gonna say nothing" he was tryin help ya jacob lol

[@MissouriPenny]

This was so neat❤

[@byallmeansneccasary6884]

Yeah I love the signs. U like them

[@Andyshine77]

You should have gone to camp Washington Chili! It's near the Sign Museum. It's far better than Gold Star or Skyline. Bubble Up was my favorite lemon-lime soda used to be quite popular in the area.

[@drewo6388]

I love me some Camp Washington Chili. I recommended the same thing to him in a comment I made. The local chili places are fantastic.

[@Andyshine77]

@drewo6388 The local places are so much better than GS or Skyline!

[@POV15385]

Love your videos you’re the best

[@brianeslinger3639]

Congratulations Anna an best wishes Brian from Northeast Ohio 👍👍👍👍

[@deborahhartman7548]

Isn't it awesome. I like to get little museums like this out there so they get more business cuz they're kind of not on the beaten path. There is a KZbin video out there where a couple rented the building at night and have their wedding there!

[@lamars2486]

Congrats to your kid❤

[@stifledvoice]

I have such a soft spot for ol' timey neon. Fie to fake neon LED strips!

[@lonesoul663]

I wish businesses still displayed vintage signs like these. I mean why not?

[@WitchidWitchid]

Some towns won't allow businesses to display them. There are two rather wealthy towns not far from me and unfortunately the stuffed shirts on the town council with their noses turned up decided to ban businesses from using neon because they argue that "it cheapens the atmosphere and creates a negative ambiance". In order to get a sign permit the sign must be non-neon. It really sucks because the neon signs are beautiful.

[@taitphillips8864]

Great place! Lots to do around there

[@edrozenrozen9600]

Almost to 500k!!! Great job! You work hard! You deserve it! Also: Superman is from Kansas

[@Royal_Mistress27]
