[@CarswithNash]

Sometimes I wish I was born a few decades sooner to experience some of this stuff first hand. Very cool old towns!

[@user-eq6vb6jz5x]

Audrey is a wonderful young lady . Happy birthday Audrey hope to see you in more videos 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@IHateEnglish10282]

She is pretty too.

[@tommyboy500]

Fathers and daughters always have a special bond ....like moms and sons.... Happy birthday Audrey

[@carollyngillespie3860]

Loved Saline. That flea market is right up my alley. Happy birthday, Audrey. 25 is a wonderful age.

[@handsomeX]

It really is. My mid 20s was a great time ❤

[@mahandle256]

Happy birthday Miss Audrey better late than never you are now two and a half times better than ten keep up the good work u and dad

[@midnightgambler3718]

She’s so positive! So pretty and obviously friendly. She had a great daddy apparently!

[@ianmullins1118]

Hi Joe & Audrey, I'm from the UK🇬🇧 and follow your channel religiously. I hold the USA 🇺🇸 close to my heart after numerous visits! If I had my time again, I would seriously consider a permanent move. I'd also like to tell you about my aunt who was also called Audrey, and lived in a lovely part of Massachusetts, called Marlborough. The name Audrey brings back the fondest of memories for me. Love watching and listening to your channel. Keep up the great work🇬🇧🇺🇲. A very Happy Birthday Audrey 🎂 X.

[@SweetTater]

Happy Birthday, beautiful and lovely Audrey. I hope you enjoy your time with your father. I remember Coke being sold for ten cents a bottle in the early to mid 1960's, no tax and in NYC.

[@lindaabbey9559]

Between 1886 and 1959, the price of a 6.5 US fl oz (190 mL) glass or bottle of Coca-Cola was set at five cents. Happy Birthday, Audrey! Love the videos. Thanks

[@beezun9850]

Happy birthday Audrey. What an enjoyable day riding around with your dad.🥳

[@lorettahendrix6790]

What a beautiful daughter! Happy birthday 🎈 🎁 Audrey

[@scaredy-cat]

Always a great day when spent with a daughter!

[@tonyringo6309]

A 25 yo. daughter who decides 2 spends her Bday with her father is definitely headed for greatness!

[@BucksMom218]

Happy Birthday to Audrey! What a great day to hang out together! Thanks for sharing it w us! 😎🥰

[@hazimjamaluddin6237]

what a great way to see rural America...thanks Joe & Audrey !

[@skip109]

Audery is a great addition, she explains some things in more detail. Hope to see more of her

[@Geneviev285]

That’s wonderful, father and daughter hanging out, just enjoying each other’s company. I love it. Happy birthday 🎉 Audrey.

[@caryward8251]

Hi there, Joe & Audrey and Happy Birthday to you Audrey, too!!! I was just a kid in the 50’s and some sodas were still 5 cents when we could afford to splurge to buy them. Also, candy bar and ice cream cups with a wooden spoon were 5 cents. Some pieces of candy were just a penny! Nehi Pops had an amazing assortment of flavors in their unique shaped bottles!! Thanks for showing us around the Canton Trade Days, really mind-blowing experience!! Safe Travels!!!

[@neilsaunders6009]

You're making me think of that classic Twilight Zone episode, "Walking Distance"!

[@teddibayer]

The little ice cream cups were called, "Dixie Cups", as I remember. I used to buy them when I was little, in the 1950's.

[@caryward8251]

@neilsaunders & @teddibayer there was also a 10 cent ice cream cup that had a special flavor in the center of it! I definitely remember Chocolate and I believe Strawberry and/or Cherry and maybe something else. Couldn’t afford to buy them hardly at all! Thanks for the replies.

[@Over60sowhat]

Audrey is so absolutely lovely!

[@floydlooney6837]

She seems nice. Family time is always great

[@steveturner3530]

First off, Happy Birthday Audrey! Second off, I love your videos, especially the Texas ones. I spent a lot of time in small town Texas as a kid in the 70's and early 80's, including Wills Point. I was told that old theater was the longest running movie theater in the USA, who knows if that was true or not. I just remember being frustrated as a teenage punk rock skateboarder that there was almost no asphalt in that town! Brick streets, wood sidewalks, gravel roads....

[@b.davidrichardson1966]

Audrey ROCKS! ...Happy Birthday! ... 40 minutes of fun ... loved the flea market ...

[@richardnowell9714]

The price of coke was 5 cents from 1886 to 1959

[@barkeater9606]

Inflation really increased in 1971 when Nixon took us off of the gold standard. The dollar has been devalued ever since.

[@simonjusticier333]

At that rate, we can say hyper inflation if shrinkflation is also taken into account. Not only are we paying more, but the sizes and servings are way smaller.

[@petegregory517]

I wish it was $5 a bottle now. Maybe my wife would quit drinkin’ it….but I doubt it. In the mid-‘50’s mom paid a dime from the machine in our a neighborhood market. I was in the kid seat of the basket.

[@petegregory517]

That Rexall sign, more like 500-700.

[@shukracharya_]

Everything changed since 1960s When women joined the workforce

[@giaaziel6204]

Happy birthday Audrey and many more !

[@catcrazy67]

Nice to know we wont have salt shortage Happy Birthday Audrey🎉

[@jennywilson9731]

Looked like a very beautiful day for your daughters 25th birthday...Thanks for sharing the flee market site!..great video..Loved it. Safe travels to St. Louis...looking forward to seeing your next video "God's Safe Keeping for you all.🌼

[@tam2676]

It would be nice if they stopped by St. Louis, MO, while traveling to East St. Louis, Illinois. It is beautiful this time of year.😊 Happy belated birthday to Audrey.

[@tam2676]

I know they have been here before, but it's worth a try.😂😂 The historic areas are gorgeous.

[@user-ts3nu6jz9d]

Flea markets are so cool. My son loves them. He would spend all day at that one. No cat sightings, maybe next time, still a great video. That's awesome you made your own movie and had your daughter in it. What a treat. Happy birthday Audrey! Thanks guys, much love as always.

[@tumbleweed57]

Love this video. It was so obvious in your voice that you were happy to be with your daughter. Audrey seems very sweet.

[@TinkerTailor4303]

Hi Audrey, and happy birthday! Take advantage of those Dad moments...😊

[@Phrenicglitter_Itsallinmyhead]

What a wonderful day spent with your daughter, she's a lovely young lady! Thanks for sharing your travels with us.

[@marcodarko6941]

Another awesome trip! I am late to the party. Your daughter is a very lovely young lady Joe and Nicole. Happy belated Birthday Audrey!🎂 I feel like such an old man saying it's so great to see such nice young people these days. lol. 😄

[@andyb8838]

Love your more recent format where you jump straight into narration vs. music intro. Great channel!

[@Terrahawk_]

What a cool video. I feel like at this point I should go back and watch your videos in order, so thanks in advance for actually having the 'From the beginning' playlist. Not enough KZbinrs do that for my liking.

[@matthewbowman9691]

Happy birthday Audrey! I’m so glad you toured Wills Point! That’s where I grew up and it was a great place to grow up!and yes, I remember that hunted house lol.

[@gregkerr725]

Happy Birthday to your daughter Audrey. Great that you two got to spend such a beautiful day together!

[@rdkndr1]

Princess Spoda! Great stuff. We just really love your shows.

[@user-rs8wh7oz9k]

Let's have more videos with Audrey and Dad.What a sweet girl she is and she is so sweet with Joe. Happy belated Birthday Audrey. I came across this youtube few days ago and boy I feel like I'm right there with you Joe. I appreciate all the home work you do for each place ya'll visit. I have learned so much about our country thur your eyes.God Bless to you and your family. .

[@LJones69]

Happy Birthday Audrey! It sounded like you guys had a good day together! What a great way to spend some of your time home before going back on the road… As far as Coke being sold at .05 cents for a 6.5oz bottle, it says it was hat price from 1886 to 1959 with very little fluctuation in price between that time period.

[@bren42069]

they removed the silver from the coins in '64, go figure

[@randygyulay5114]

My friend Joe went on the Dolly Parton diet... It made Joe lean, Joe lean, Joe lean, Joe lean

[@dickmoney2946]

Joe and Audrey’s road trip. Hanging with dad. What a nice way to spend part of a birthday.

[@jburnett8152]

Hi Audrey. Happy birthday and you are so sweet. Keep protecting your beautiful skin.

[@jamesburns3750]

Your daughter is a nice looking young lady what i like she is not covered in ink and no purple ,green are blue hair ,you got to be proud of her,by the way she has a beautiful smile happy birthday Audrey.

[@daviddecelles8714]

What a blessing for a man to have a charming daughter with a radiant smile. It's evident she's fond of her father and genuinely enjoyed a day out with him. Those wide brick roads in the center of Wills Point will never wear out since the friction they mainly get is from rolling rubber tires. Great investment by the town in 1922. I also found appealing the town's raised sidewalk with canopied store fronts the whole length, some wooden, propped by poles at the sidewalk's edge. Reminiscent of classic 19th c. Texas towns seen in pictures and movies. Grand Saline! Sitting on a subterranean mountain of salt big enough to provide the world's needs for 20,000. years. An amazing fact! Loved the story behind the 'sweetheart plot' and the marvelously carved headstones. East St. Louis? Right! I'll be there.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Thanks, David!

[@spookythecat53]

Nice meeting Audrey. Happy Birthday. The 5 cent CocaCola was sold from 1886 to 1959

[@davidmay3348]

Well happy birthday Audery! I too havea daughter im very proud of. So nice tosee the two of youdoing thistogether. Great vids as always Joe. Sorry first time seeing this.

[@chiconian49]

Happy Birthday Audrey.

[@Mary-el3pi]

Besides the parking, carrying what you bought back to the car and finding enough space is so hard for Canton and Round Top! Such a fun day with your dad!

[@Knd2424]

Very nice to see your daughter in one of your videos:)) Happy Birthday!!

[@rocinblues]

Bringing in the next generation! Great video, nice town....Cheers!

I can remember when I was 25...... That was some 41 years ago😮

It's great you got to spend time with your daughter on her birthday. She looks just like her mother! Hope yall had a safe trip! Always look forward to your videos!

[@Darkser37]

Happy bday Audrey! And by the way Joey, absolutely love your narrative skills, making your videos very enjoyable to follow

[@SuperNedk]

Happy Birthday! Great to see you back on some videos with Pa!

[@kevinparker5879]

Happy birthday Audrey, hope you had a fantastic one!

[@joycelebaron2582]

That was Amtrak''s Texas Eagle, which travels between Chicago and San Antonio that went by at the first town. And according to Mr. Google, a glass or bottle of Coke was held at 5 cents between 1886 and 1959! Nice towns. I could almost smell the food at that Flea Market. I hope you enjoyed your freshly squeezed Coke! LOL.

[@teresap268]

Great video. Happy birthday to your daughter. Looks like you two had a good time.

[@lovingcare5610]

I enjoy you upbeat Attitude and your presentation of your travels. Keep up the good work.

[@ttocselbag5054]

Good on you Joe. Dad and daughter time is exquisite, as they soften our hearts.❤️ My “little girl” turns 25 in August and I’m tickled pink that I’ll get to spend time with her. 🥰

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Nice!

[@joeyturbo7088]

I went on a road trip from Austin to Brownsvile and then to Dallas before heading back to Austin back in 2001. Texas is a beatiful state. Great video brother.

[@chadb1878]

Happy (belated) birthday Audrey! Keep up the great work dad, enjoy all your videos!

[@jimthornton-fc8kq]

Another great video and what a lovely daughter you have. I know you are very proud of her. Who has a better life than you do? The answer is nobody! You get to drive around the U.S.A. with your choice of 2 smart and beautiful women. Best wishes on your next adventure, Sincerely Jim Thornton

[@ronaldclark2624]

Nice video, thank you! Nice to see a pretty 25 year old with a pleasant personality in conservative summer dress! Ron-83 year old grandfather, PTL USA

[@leemathis6053]

I'm just an old man but I was shocked when your daughter said she was 22, I would've guessed 16ish lol, great father daughter time congrats

[@alexandralovesgoats3360]

Happy birthday Audrey! Enjoyed meeting Audrey and visiting new towns in rural Texas. Wills Point has beautiful streets and a very quaint downtown. The building made of salt is not what I expected! Thank you for taking us to the Flea Market! I think Audrey is on to something with her correlation between crime (assault) and the market! It was nice to see people out and about!

[@junecruz7533]

We're watching your show & love that your daughter is with you. Happy Birthday Audrey.

[@stratcat4450]

Happy birthday Audrey! I too was born in on April 30th, however way to many decades before you. What a great dad an daughter video.

[@elvagadd1883]

Happy Birthday Audrey 🎉🎉it was so nice to met you. Love this channel , hope to see you again in future videos, with your dad. Thank you for sharing and take care 😊

[@CharlottePrattWilson]

Happy birthday, Audrey! 🎉 So nice to “meet” your daughter. She resembles you more than Nicole IMHO. Thanks for the tour.

[@nancyparker9986]

I don’t think Nicole is her biological mother

[@CharlottePrattWilson]

@@nancyparker9986 I was wondering that too.

[@nancyparker9986]

I think this is Joe and Nicole’s second marriage…..she has grown kids of her own plus grandkids …..I have heard her mention that.

[@CharlottePrattWilson]

@@nancyparker9986 I kind of thought that it was a second marriage because he flaunts her body like she’s his trophy. In fact I mentioned that there are a lot of not very nice people out that could take advantage.

[@curtiseggemeyer5681]

Loved it , nce to see some clean little towns, much different then the border town series. I can see you in your daughter and your wife,

[@obidikielekworommadiann8620]

Audrey,happy birthday to you on this day of joy.Let God keep and Preserve you,showing you your great destiny and the great purpose for which HE brought you into the World. At 25years of age you appear to have a lot of wisdom and intuition:I pray God reveal to you speedily your very Colourful Destiny.

Thanks for sharing. It was fun watching it.

[@jimjustice581]

Happy belated Birthday, Audrey. You got your mama’s good looks. I’m sure you appreciate your daughter accompanying you as driving long distances can be quite boring. I’ve lived in Texas all my 73 years and have heard of, but never visited Wills Point. Nor have I ever visited Grand Saline. You said, “I want to see the salt.” You should have said, “I wanna sea salt”. You’d probably not be very popular there 😁. Thanks for taking the time to share your video with us. Keep ‘em coming, please. I’m sure I speak for many when I say, “I’m loving ‘em”!
