Driving Around Small Town Arcola, IL in 4k Video

[@terrybane6206]

Riding around in these small towns gives me a peaceful easy feeling and the road between towns is a nice touch......thanks for that.

Bro, I was feeling homesick for Matton ILL and Arcola ILL and this really helped. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for doing this.

[@exploreusacities]

No problem

[@claytonkaeiser6214]

You drove in a block circle around the house I used to live in (Presbyterian Church manse) but never went right by it.

[@exploreusacities]

sorry about that

My Hometown! The Arcola Purple Riders, Winning Traditions in Football State Championships! You only drove through the East Side of town. The West Side has the older homes plus the HS built in 1916 with castle towers and still in use 👍

Needs to be asked, where is everybody? Seems to be a trademark of just about every small town, all are virtually deserted. I am looking in from Australia, where this is quite the opposite.

[@exploreusacities]

Ah shoot! I hate missing out on old buildings!

[@Godzilla_986]

I live here at arcola

@@harrygoldun5779 Population 2000 when my folks lived there. Everyone's at work.

[@BusyBusinessHostingNPromotion]

@@Godzilla_986 How long ago. My folks lived there in the 70's through around 2000 or so

I used to work at the Libman factory there.

[@BusyBusinessHostingNPromotion]

Was that the broom factory? I worked at Mahahan's Handles during summer between college semesters.

you know what these little towns don't have? speedbumps. when the locals are accountable to each other you don't get the maniacs that speed through neighborhoods. old brick paved streets help also.

My parents lived in Arcola ILL for a long time. My dad ran the bowling alley.

[@mnoliberal7335]

I rode my new Suzuki 750 motorcycle through Arcola in the early '80s. I was going slow,

[@BusyBusinessHostingNPromotion]

Hey is the Hen House still there? They had the best biscuits and gravy.

[@laurieewilson]

The bricks in the streets are over 100 years old.

[@BusyBusinessHostingNPromotion]

I just remembered something funny. For some reason when I first moved there, I had to report something to the police. So I drove over there and they were closed.

[@BusyBusinessHostingNPromotion]

Must be the beginning of winter or the end of fall. We don't have that here in Honolulu.

[@BusyBusinessHostingNPromotion]

Raggedy Anne and Andy were invented in Arcola ILL

[@martyaz]

You always find the brick roads.

[@exploreusacities]

I'm attracted to them, like a fly on poo poo!
