[@00bestl]

TheDailyWoo well done Adam!

[@micmagellan5689]

We shall... you shall... Thanks

[@bjornemccomb8262]

McComb, Mississippi...hmmm never knew ...good thing you stayed back from the humongous sinkhole!!! Dangerous for sure 💀

[@AimlessAdventuresVlog]

Congrats on hitting 400 k my friend! Here's to the future along the long and winding road.

[@snowyd3639]

I love your new shows..Very relaxing but interesting..☺️

[@zzydny]

As a Mississippian, let me say thank you for treating my home state gently. Too often we only hear the negative; I'm so glad that you saw something good in your visit here.

[@tedrussell902]

Mississippian here too! :) I may move back one day,if my wife will let me lol

[@michaelstringly4138]

Mississippi burning. Only good thing about Mississippi was using the word as a countdown before pass rushing when playing nerf football as kids.

[@zzydny]

@@michaelstringly4138 One of the things that I love most about Mississippi is the kindness and the courtesy of the people who live here.

[@virginiacarroll1910]

My husband, son and I drove from Massachusetts thru 32 states this past summer. We stayed in Jackson and we were treated awesome! We thought your state was beautiful and Mississippians were friendly and warm. We plan on doing the drive again but want to see more of Mississippi.

[@MADNEWYORKER914]

Because your state is one of the most racist states in this country!!!

[@smittyb9418]

I grew up in Mississippi my grandmother was born in 1912, somebody murdered my grandfather so I never new him growing up, if my grandmother was still living she would make you cry with the stories & experiences she went through 😪

[@bass2bass2011]

Loving this series, its great seeing the things that most people have forgotten!

[@concars1234]

WE FORGOT AMERICA

[@SallySue9725]

Is anyone else just loving these videos? They’re so peaceful!

[@casnovafrankienstien8046]

Its a escape for sure and now when people mention random weird places i can say oh ive seen that.

[@5roundsrapid263]

Mississippi can get boring, but it’s so very peaceful.

[@SallySue9725]

5Rounds Rapid I feel you Missouri’s the same way

[@BlueGoat682]

I've been enjoying "The Woo's" videos for several months now. Always interesting!

[@uselesstechnology]

You perfectly described it

[@stlredbirds85]

Love these backwoods videos Adam. Quiet and historic

[@hh7407]

The fact that you included one of the residents (kitty) in your video made this great video even better. Saying "Hello" to him and talking to him was super nice.

[@melisagilbert4486]

I am not taking any of these vlogs for granted , loving every minute! Thanks Adam for hitting the road for us! And maybe reminding us all to appreciate the quite and to sometimes slow down!

[@thekoryhelmick]

The color of the under-belly of the “sink road” is spectacular! What a cool find. 🥰

[@CC-kg8ce]

Nobody does the open road better than Adam. He captures an America that once was and will never be again.

[@hatlerrobinson6101]

When you get to L.A. do a U turn and come back across I love it

[@advlandvideo]

Yeah, this time across the north end seeing as how he has done Route 66 for middle America.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I plan on it . Not immediately but plenty of series planned

[@advlandvideo]

@@TheDailyWoo Cool. Thank you.

[@donniebrown2896]

Didn't already show Lower Alabama? Get it?

[@dapsapsrp]

New Hope Rd looks to be very neat and tidy, well maintained. I marvel at the scenes of these little small towns. Something many of us living in urban areas never see. There is a whole different and more personal social dynamic going on in these areas.

[@Brett33]

"That's the Mississippi. The Mighty Missisipp. The old Miss .The old man. DEEEEEEEEPPPP RIVVVVVVEEEEERRRRRR ………."

[@bjornemccomb8262]

Thought same thing 🤣

[@ttwillow9073]

I started humming Doc Watson's Moody River....

[@SuperNolaguy]

You need to visit Duck Hill

[@michellerooks1]

You need to go to Beale Street in Memphis... got family in Southhaven, Ms. and raised in Memphis ,Tn. and West Memphis, Ark. . But I live in Flordia now for 27 yrs.

[@DzHarryNuttz]

You serious Clark?

[@MrHubbmuscle]

Yet another fantastic backroads tour you’d never see from the best tour guide on KZbin! Thanks Adam yet again!

[@MGiordano]

I love everything about this series. Thanks Adam.

[@DavidSmith-sb2ix]

Videos like this show the difficulties of small "mom and pop" businesses today. At one time this is where people did business before the big supermarkets, franchise restaurants and malls. Within the last year in my town the last small hardware store that had the stuff Home Depot never heard of, the independent pharmacy with a soda fountain (122 years in business) and an old time neighborhood grocery with fresh meats and produce closed. I guess even the big ones will close when everyone works and shops from home and you never have to go out of the house again.

[@5roundsrapid263]

12:42 That’s my hometown! It’s not as run down as most of this. It has a “real” Cracker Barrel, too. That gas station was there before it was. BTW, they’re pronounced “Loose-dale” and “B-yood”.

[@5roundsrapid263]

Coast Girl Yeah, huge nostalgia. I’ve been through all of these towns several times.

[@tlb4210]

I laughed at Loose a dale.

[@tlb4210]

Swamp Henly Me too!

[@toddjackson9762]

Wiggins here

[@b3877896]

Love rural America! Thanks for taking us there once again, Adam. I'll be following your trqvels like I used too a few years back. WELCOME HOME!!!

[@mrfatty]

Sad to see rural America going to waste. Thankful that you are documenting some of it before it'ss gone.

[@mrfatty]

@Duke Of Prunes that sounds like the same thing in my town now in the last 15 years it really has boomed since the old folks that kept big business out of our town finally died off and young blood has taken it over it has begun to thrive.

[@DisDutch]

we are enjoying these road trip videos so much, takes us all back to the old days of you Adam. Thank you. we love love love m!!

[@brucewitt1513]

I live in New Zealand. I love the United states wish I had been raised there. What a great video really love those old towns.

[@Preeofdarkness_]

This is so fun. I love backroads

[@TheDailyWoo]

They are the best

[@brianonthego]

*So happy to see you hit 400k Adam...Way 2 Go!!!!*

[@BenM38834]

If you are ever in the northern part of Mississippi, then come and visit Corinth where you can visit the oldest drug store (Borrom’s Drug Store) in the state of Mississippi and eat a slug burger. You can also see a lot of Civil War history within Corinth and Shiloh, TN, which is only about 20 minutes or so north of the state line. You can eat some great catfish at Hagy’s Catfish Hotel located in Shiloh on a bluff overlooking the Tennessee River just down the road from Shiloh National Military Park.

[@5roundsrapid263]

He went through that area a few years back. He mentioned he was born in Tupelo!

[@mehere7514]

Wow that was fun ,that road was unbelievable, thank you for sharing awsome,

[@DustyWingsProductions]

Thank you Adam for another good one. Like you said... perfect places for you this day.

[@TheGeocampbell]

Adam, I know he's your hero but Huell Howser would be proud, why you could be the next Charles Kuralt and I do mean that. LOVE YA MAN!

[@billl1127]

Huell Howser was the man!

[@terellaleon2325]

Many fun memories of summers spent in the Magnolia state

[@dlbstl]

I love the pictures of the Mississippi. It flows by where I live, near St. Louis, MO. I never tire of seeing it! Enjoying your series of 9/9.

[@ryeinc]

Absolutely incredible. It’s fascinating to think what life is like in some of these small towns. Also glad to see the weather is better than your trip through Bama!

[@paul08211973]

Adam, I know you may never see this comment, but I have to tell you at 3:35 could quite possibly be one of my favorite sections of any of the videos I have watched of yours. My Dad was born in Bond MS and I grew up hearing that either Dizzy Dean's Mother or Wife helped deliver my dad in 1927. It was rumored that my Dad tipped the scales at somewhere between 10 and 15 pounds!!!

[@TheDailyWoo]

That is very cool !

[@lorraine9242]

I enjoyed your interaction with the cat. Clearly that feline is happy in Mississippi. I loved New Hope Road. Whoever named that road, was an eternal optimist. Happy travels.

[@dennisud]

Great sites especially that mudslide area that took out that road!

[@venuslnd]

Beautiful calm place, must be great for cycling.

[@MidnightBlackandVictoria]

LOL you came pretty close to where we live here in the middle of nowhere-land. Its quiet. And my wife and I like it like that.

[@stunik156]

Adam, i really appreciate these kinds of videos that you make ...love the slow pace and just taking everything in ..thank you

[@TheDailyWoo]

No problem I enjoy doing them

[@noahbody2514]

I remember the police booths in many town's around rural central Georgia when I was a boy back in the 60s,,,,, and we used to cross dairy cows across the road daily then as well 😀 👍👍

[@brittanyrex4297]

13:00 My dad owns the corner store in Bude. He had a coffee and donut shop in it for a while. I’m not sure of its history before he bought it in the 90s. Really enjoyed watching!

[@rubymckoy2615]

Congratulations Adam! We must love the tours through old American towns. I know I do!

[@colinmurtagh1295]

Excellent video as always dude!! Some great landscape, top work.

[@johnbacon1854]

Small town life, once was............ some real gems there Adam. Happy travels.

[@AdventuresofmalibuandDad]

Love the old signs and buildings buddy. Your so lucky and free to travel you lucky dog you!! ❤️🇺🇸 America is awesome and vast . Thank you for sharing.

[@michaeltolbert5322]

The reason why those cattle crossing signs are posted is the reasons you have to move cattle from paster to paster throught the changing of season to maintain feeding grass

[@oldman3440]

Adam,when i was growing up in the 50's and 60's Dizzy Dean was one of the play by play announcers for baseball on tv.

[@michelleisle9005]

I love Mississippi I love the Gulf Coast. Take a ride Natchez Mississippi all the way into Tennessee Natchez Trace Parkway.. 450 MI of beautiful scenery..

[@445videogates4]

Thanks for the videos,never been that far south.Im up at the lengendary Crossroads Miss.I ll be watching the the rest!

[@Robocoppat]

I'd give just about anything to hang out with you. You're doing something I've always wanted to do, however money problems puts a hold on it. Like the other poster said, " they're so peaceful to watch". You definitely have the most interesting videos to watch. Another great video of what once was. 2 THUMBS UP 👍 👍.

[@zachratedrll1529]

Mississippi Delta has the best backroads and hidden towns. The best southern comfort you will find in the state.

[@Timberhunter]

These past videos have been such a great change from the parks Adam. Not that we dont like the parks videos. Just seems everyone is hammering the park videos these days. Can you include some on the local restaurants you visit as well. Thanks for the videos.

[@adventureswithhope3031]

OMG!! I live in Wiggins!!! That is so cool. I would have loved to meet you,!

[@kravin74]

Name of the place where the road was falling is Red Bluff. I believe the Pearl River carved it out long ago. You should hike down it, that’s the really pretty part

[@HyperActive7]

The washout was something to see. Goes to show you how bad flooding and erosion can eat things alive.

[@doejeff]

Awesome video Mississippi Queen iif you know what I mean........🎵🎶🎸

[@biffgrimes.8345]

From England thanks for sharing these are sights l will never get to see , great to see these places but that road collapse ,how dangerous is that !

[@Shane07752]

Lucedale reminds me of Mayberry.

[@PeteR-ed9nd]

There are many towns like the ones you feature in many states as rural living gives way to urban realities. I could have sent you to merigold, okolona, pontotoc, Amory, aberdeen, bruce, and many more. Keep it up and capture the history that was....

[@monmixer]

Gotta watch walking them swamp roads at night on foot. You could be gator dinner

[@icemike1]

Gators rare in the delta

[@icemike1]

Very rare

[@travelingwithrick]

That road with water on either side could be called a causeway. Bet there are a lot of gators on the sides in the summer. Above Rosie City music Hall looked like tornado warning sirens.

[@commonground5214]

My takeaway from this is that when you drive America's main routes it all seems the same and homogenized, but when you drive down the byways there is regional diversity. That said, I don't find this tour nostalgic but incredibly sad because once fabulous places are now creepy deserted ghost towns! To me it is heartbreaking that most people would rather spend megabucks at a theme park then experience a local bowling alley or mini golf course. Why have hearty regional food when you can chow down on McDonald's, Burger King or KFC? I'll tell you why. because it tastes better and also different, depending on where you are in this once great country of ours!

[@lovejoyblessings8231]

To me the tour was nice and sad at the same time. Thanks for showing light to hidden towns that people wouldn't normally see. However u also showed light to how evil people can be. Each property you showed reviled that the people and families that once lived there were forced out. No sign of voluntarily abandonment. Forced to leave. Yet to leave the land in an abandoned state as memory of the evil that was done. Do your research. The dolls n the shot up car are a prime example, of the evil. This was not a happy video. Yet your video wasn't a history lesson jus entertainment

[@Mssparklez85]

You ended it in Natchez, Ms! You could have went to the mall there and did a Dead Mall, video. When I was growing up there was a Bath and Body Works, Claire's, Payless Shoes, Stage, a book store, Jcpenneys, Shoe Dept, Catos and Belk. Now there is just a Belk, Shoe Dept, Catos and Hibbits Sports then some random stores. All the food businesses closed in the mall.. Still has a movie theater though.

[@cariemorgangraff4829]

Love this. I live in Como, Mississippi and love it

[@MikeBramm]

Very cool tour Adam. It's like watching a PBS special or something. Maybe you would consider a tour around America to cover more small towns like this and maybe interview some locals.

[@aaronyox6319]

Love these backroad adventures

[@hudsonlaw8507]

That cavernous hole was really cool!

[@ScarabChris]

7:40 ...I bet at one time that was the little joint all the people that lived around there went for their morning coffee and grits and their beer after work. Tiny little eatery/tavern probably also on the same property as the owners home.

[@orsonboggs7753]

10:48 YIKES..now that's a pothole...good luck with patching that one :)

[@BrianRKingVideos]

You were at red bluff in foxworth. Next thing I know you are on 51 highway in brookhaven if you were looking for small forgotten towns a few more miles north and you would have come to Wesson. Next time you are in Mississippi hit me up we will do lunch. Love your vids man.

[@jaysmith2414]

Mississippi No.50 in every thing.

[@cindythecatwoman1601]

It's a shame to see all these towns dying. I guess that's why you don't see anyone. I can see why that road is blocked off. I don't think they can fix that. I wonder how those people got down there. I'm really enjoying this vlog series Adam.

[@mistervacation23]

Preacher said all my sins are warshed away, including that Piggly Wiggly I knocked over in Yazoo!

[@AmeriFanPicker]

Wow. Didn't think any elevated sidewalks like that existed still anywhere!

[@cinquedark5ivekamau800]

Those stuffed dolls remind me of that Friday the 13th (the series) episode, were those creepy dolls came to life on that old abandoned farm...... eerie 😳

[@exploringwithskeggybaz7474]

Loving these old school type woo vlogs ... keep up the good work buddy

[@pocketslife8963]

My home I luv it 💕❤️ your channel is so bomb ...I’m from a small town called Dundee Mississippi ❤️

[@TheEcoGuys]

If you find scratching posts in old towns basically it's for horses. But I guess if you're so inclined you can scratch your own back

[@benjaminreynolds3659]

Looks the USPS buildings are well maintained!

[@kk-om5zm]

love from Europe, Grecce......

[@ronbutler9961]

ANOTHER GREAT DAY WITH THE OLD WOO

[@TheBIGKNOC]

It must be nice to see these areas too bad I cant travel these backwoods I might not come up out of them might somehow go missing lol so that being said I will just keep enjoying your videos

[@shawtatl]

The waving farmers is what tripped me out.....

[@rabidpepe8053]

Franklin County, Bude, Roxie that area has a lake called clear springs and has great nature trails. I haven't been their since I was tiny. I played t-ball for Roxie when I was 7/8. My got broke. I still remember that, Jason. I looked like a raccoon for two weeks. You not supposed to hit girls. ( this is a joke about it happening on pourpose, it was an accident on the t-ball field ).

[@HornOkay]

Nice video. I also liked your t-shirt

[@victoriapressley4548]

Beautiful video.

[@outofgas5293]

You better stay at the southern bottom ! Your fluffy lil tail gets caught in the delta after dark the brothers would have fun with you .

[@tedrussell902]

Good ole Missiissippi ,home :)

[@ThorMissile]

Nice videos .😃

[@MsBornfree123]

Yes, more of this please!

[@EdHolliman]

Love this drive across my old state. Born in Biloxi and my mother's family lived in Lucedale and Bude. She was born near Bude in McCall's Creek. BTW, underground nuclear tests were carried out in the salt dome near Baxterville back in the 60's. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmon_Site

[@Massive94]

SMALL TOWNS BABY!!!

[@josztroutfishingdiary7350]

Nice Adam Thanks!

Great video, which camera are you using?

[@neverjethot]

Adam, where do you lay your head when deep in small town USA? I understand you don't have anything like Large Marge anymore?

[@erickort1987]

will you travel through to the west exploring old 1800s ghost towns?

[@dukeofhaas]

Was that a genuine Sandford & Son pickup truck at 6.34?

[@mahdiabdurahman7257]

Oh i get it lot of farmer lot of food supply across countryand lot of truck that's meant lot of job to do

[@aulderangroup]

If you don’t have the daily woo in your life you’re fighting for second place all the time. 😎👍🏻
