Dumpster Diving in Kentucky & Sightseeing in Downtown Paducah!

When you're on the road, you never know if you'll be somewhere on trash day or not... and it turns out we got to Paducah just in time for all the dumpsters to be empty. Oh well, movin' on! We had a great time exploring downtown and enjoyed diving in a new place even though it wasn't the best day.
As always, thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day! Happy diving and movin' on!

Watching this made me emotional! My hubby and I got engaged on the waterfront in Paducah. We love the town, hope yall had a great time!

[@coffee19837]

Thank you Alex, Kelly, and Bones. Thanks for you all for going out of your way to help others and donate items God bless you all and for your videos and the hard work and dedication you all do. 😊

[@23angelpie]

I love watching your videos. You have a great relationship. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. You give me hope in this crazy world.

[@caroll7574]

My son moved to Paducah KY from Salt Lake City Utah about 5 years ago. During my first visit he brought me down to the waterfront and the murals. It is very nice.

[@carolynsimone8647]

The murals are amazing...and so is Bones...🥰🥰

[@wandaspradling2420]

Hello Kelly, Alex and Mr Bones. I was born in Paducah in 1941 and left when I was 18 but some memories never leave. Keep looking guys you'll see some interesting things while you're there. I've been watching your videos for years.

[@susanharrisbitohoney2793]

We used to take our cat on our trips and when we stopped at rest stops, he would get out and do his business and then jump back in the truck. He didn’t have a leash on either. His name was Obie, named after Obi Wan Kenobi from Star Wars, ‘coz he looked like him with his white beard.

[@emilydoll6824]

Oh my word 😱 I live in Paducah! I have been watching you guys for years so I totally feel like celebrities just came to visit my city 😆 I hope you show us your tattoos. And if you ever visit again, you should go to Gold Rush Cafe (downtown) for breafkast. Thanks for the video!

[@dianadean5994]

Welcome to Kentucky you are in my state just 4 hours away. Lol it’s a nice area downtown has a lot of history. Thanks for taking us along.🥰

[@lisa-fc2ww]

I grew up near train tracks. The train conductor would blow the horn and wave to all of us kids. We loved it❤

[@Ms._Purple_Apple]

I miss the sound of our train horn. Our train service was decommissioned many years ago, so now when I hear the sound of a train in a background it brings memories. 🚂

[@janieb7319]

Welcome to Kentucky! Paducah was named after Chief Paducah. Home of superman is across the river, Metropolis.

[@elissalee3057]

I've been there .❤😊

[@caroll7574]

I went to Metropolis during my visit to my son's home in Paducah!

[@user-qe7bz7mn9f]

My father retired from the RR after 48yrs,thank you so cool,been there many times good memories,Bones -cool,enjoy

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

Murals are Awesome...

[@beckybrooks4440]

It was great having you visit our state and DD. Sorry you didn't find anything. Maybe next time, it won't be trash day for the retail stores. I live about an hour and a half away, but close enough to say you were in my neck of the woods. Enjoy your stay, and it's great to see you two and Bones. Have fun and safe travels on your journey, back home to Denton Texas.

[@dumpsterwitch]

My husband and I rented my wedding dress from that custom shop! And we got our handfasting vows on the river front.

[@elizabethread1674]

The mural wall was amazing!

[@mariwillalwaysgivethanks]

Hello Everyone! I worked with a young lady who was born and raised in Paducah, KY...she said there was nothing to do in that city and she couldn't wait to leave. I guess some people feel trapped in a city they were born in. But, the grass is quite not always greener on the other side sometimes.

[@dorissurratt9250]

Aww thank you for sharing this; my birth sister used to live there and I never got to visit her before she passed away. Made me think of her today ❤thanks again. Very informative tour.

[@stacysviptupperware3771]

I grew up in that area but have lived in Canada for 25+ yrs. It was like I was visiting "home" ❤

[@deonnamounce1883]

Yay I grew up in Paducah and am excited to see y'all there

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Thanks for sharing the inspiration of that towns allimination of disintegrated trash👍🤣🤣👍. Great fun y'all

[@margaretmuniz5715]

I like the way bones just chills out

[@teresahall1580]

Welcome to Kentucky Kelly and Alex !!! We have a beautiful state hope you do a little sightseeing while you’re here!

[@dianeknight4839]

I find it amusing that you marvel at historic buldings, to us in the UK we would regard them as modern, we have buildings dating back to the 12th Century.

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

12th century??? 300 years Before Columbus sailed to America??? Are you meaning Indian Mounds???

[@tenngirl1976]

​@leslyeschoenhuth1107 I bet you thought UK meant University of Kentucky? The OP means the United Kingdom. The White Tower in the Tower of London was built in the 11th century. What are you talking about with Indian Mounds? Educate yourself...

[@LGAussie]

I’m from Canada, but look how far America has progressed in just 400 years. Actually, the Vikings predate that at 1,000 years. American Indians even earlier than the Vikings. England is mostly old, but I love the historic value too, the scary part is when the plumbing and underground pipes go. Very hard to dig up and replace. America is as large as Europe practically, ppl don’t realize that. So, each state is almost another culture. California alone is larger than England.

[@rockreader4298]

Aww showing Bones at the end was the best part of the vid today of course. Next vid more Bones and more useful finds hopefully. : )

[@barbara-pigeonbray4579]

Awesome mural ...just beautiful ...Always love a little red caboose ..Thank you for sharing the fun ..Awww.. sweet Bones .

[@ms-tracey-mc]

Love cruising with my favourite KZbinrs! Loved seeing more of the US and of course Beautiful Bones🖤🖤🖤🖤💋Love you guys and what you are all about. Hope this small donation can go toward your ink purchases. Much love ❤❤❤❤🖤🐨🐨🐾🐾

[@mmkeat393]

Really fun to watch you exploring Paducah! I used to live in a tiny little town upriver about 50 miles. Paducah was the only place to go for anything other than the grocery store. My late husband and I were just out of college and we worked in the the school system as art teachers and we spent the summers swimming and exploring around KY Lakes nearby. We saw the first Star Wars movie in the Columbia Theater! That was 1977! I was only 24. I am from a larger town on up the river to the east, but I live in Central KY with my current husband now and I hope to get over to Paducah with him soon. He is a history buff and would love all the history! I will show him your video with the wall with all the art. That wasn’t there way back then. Paducah has grown and a lot of things have changed. Thanks for good memories!

[@kathydeel4780]

Hi guys, Paducah is known as "Quilt City USA", and is recognized as a worldwide mecca for quilters and fiber artists. It's also a UNESCO Creative City. Happy Hunting. ❤❤❤

[@traceyflannagan4467]

That's so cool,and that's where I'm from Paducah Kentucky

[@susancousins8766]

Thanks for the tour of Paducah what a wonderful place to visit. Ohio river is beautiful. Love the train, murals and the little shops in town. I hope you had a fun time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

[@TessyAshbyProphetess]

I'm moving to Paducah!!lol, well, no, but what a beautiful town. The murals are amazing, and the town is so clean (I know, not too good for diving, sorry). I love that Bones is getting such a good education on this trip, he's such a good boy.

[@susanjohnson-y8g]

Love the painted walls and trains

[@pegs1659]

Paducah DD may have been not so great but the sightseeing was awesome! Its a beautiful place. I've never been there but I've passed the exit off I65 North a bunch of times.

[@nicolepowell5470]

[@angelaspaulding5990]

[@shaunwynnBouder]

Enjoying this video. Looks like a nice town.

[@wandalambert9715]

My husband, his friend, and the friends wife all went to Paducah., Kentucky, to visit the friends brother in 1974. There are a lot of poor people who live in Paducah We went to Nashville, TN. To see the Grand Ole Opery after leaving Kentucky. It was a great little getaway for 3 days. Funny to hear you say you were in Paducah.

[@LeslieY66]

Love visiting Paducah. Too bad you didn’t get to the Quilt Museum. Incredible quilts.

[@ShettikkaWoods-jl8iq]

That's a matinee sign, what's playing... awesome restoration. don't see things like this anymore 😔

[@user-gb1kr7rk7e]

Love the tour of a new city! Sorry no dumpster diving this time but still enjoyed seeing y’all!

[@cerisewilson4088]

Cool looking at the town!

[@maxinejordan9609]

That town is so cool. I love the murals. We have a mural project in the town next to ours. It makes the town so beautiful and artistic. I too grew up right across the road from the train tracks. The sound of a train and the whistle, is so comforting to me. I get a giggle when someone looking for a home says no I could never live by a train track. You are fun to watch and I love your sense of humor. 🚞🚃🚋🚃

[@WilmaJeanTV]

Thanks for repping my home town! Our downtown is lovely, don’t you agree? 😊

[@dianebalausiak6561]

I practically have a train in my backyard in Ontario, Canada I grew up in Toronto but have been living in the Niagara Region, close to Niagara Falls, for the past 17 years We have a very big yard, then a park behind us Then a train track and I too just love the sound of the train whistle. Before that I lived in site of a church and I love church bells too

[@juneyshu6197]

Lovely water!

[@Ms._Purple_Apple]

I’m liking the atmosphere of people and traffic there, not as hectic. It’s getting over populated here and I’m missing the way it use to be here.

[@valeriefmccluskey6116]

I also love the sound of trains ❤❤❤. Great video 😊

[@anitayee9084]

Happy Monday ❤ and Hello Alex and Kelly. We love your video ❤ and Awesome score. We love Roadtrip Dumpter Diving video. We love see Bones. Have a Amazing Day and move on. ❤❤

Thanks for the video & recycling ♻️🐨🦘💜

[@nonas8480]

Nice tour it's a beautiful place !

[@honeysmoke2977]

The church bells, it's the clock. The bells go off 1x at 15, 2x at 30, 3x at 45, then it goes off 4x at the top of the hour and chimes X times at the time of the hour. Lol

[@rosellaalberti9227]

Un saluto dall Italia 👋👋ciao

[@pattiross-d9d]

i just love church bells

[@Katherine.11.11]

🔔 I’ve always known church bells to ring every 15 mins with the full tune on the hour and the strokes to tell the time. I love the sound of the church bells

[@EthelTuga]

Nice place,I'm always waiting your haul every now and then,❤❤ happy watching from Zamboanga Philippines
