[@TampaJay]

william burningham thank you

[@marypettyfer4640]

It's a good idea to do this I didnt get notification for this one

[@shinminamotto]

There’s a lot more history to that town like how that place was way more bigger than it is now but in the 1930s and massive fire gutted the town and the whole area near the spring house sits on a massive limestone cave system and during world war 2 it had a German prison camp? But I’m not to sure about that and there’s an actual sulfur springs but it’s in the Stephan foster park

I LOVE FLORIDA..🌴💞I LIVE IN A LITTLE TOWN CALLED WOODVILLE..🌄

[@BrittMFH]

Fascinating.... I used to visit Florida in the early 60s when I was a kid with my parents, but don't remember this. I'm sad that so much has fallen aside in favor of modern craziness. Thank you for this look into Florida's past. ❤️

[@TampaJay]

Thank you Britt love roaming the past appreciate you watching

[@jamesscrivner6755]

Another wonderful batch of memories. My brothers lived in the 'Pickin' Parlor' at the other end of the block from Adams store. I went to the spring many times, but don't recall swimming there. Had to repair my bike at the old wooden gas station after riding over from Live Oak. Thank you.

When I was a kid in Shalimar FL (near Fort Walton) there as an an abandoned barn we we visit in jungle. There was a fresh water Lake Lorraine. It was opened to the Choctawhatchee Bay (saltwater).

[@xolauraxo]

Loved this! That old hardware store looked incredible.

[@TampaJay]

Thank you Laura

[@windellstephens9359]

Man, did this ever bring back some memories!! I grew up a few miles from here in Lake City, FL. My Granny and Grandpa both had relatives in White Springs and they took me on many Sunday afternoon drives to White Springs. I remember all those old buildings, the general store, that old gas station, and of course the springhouse. I remember being scared to death standing on the top deck looking down into that spring, to a small child it looked like a mile down to that water. Back then Hwy 41 had a slightly different route, there was a parking lot near the spring house not far from where the museum is today. I even remember when that old Suwanee River Motel was open, and I've heard rumors that for a time it was open but not a real motel if you get my drift. Thanks for a nice video, lots of great childhood memories!!

[@TampaJay]

Windell Stephens that’s some good memories and information thank you Windell I lm glad you caught the video thank you for watching buddy

[@fly-script-7741]

[@Simarchy]

Oooh I love your Crow shirt!

[@redruby9092]

Love it

[@magiccheeseball]

I like these old Florida attractions it's nice to see its still intact

[@Rossturnerphoto]

That's one of the things I love about traveling through Northern Florida seeing old roadside attractions and historic buildings. It's sad to see some of these places abandoned, but at the same time fascinating to see a slice of the past.

[@naybur74]

indeed Tampa Jay..that red rolling thing on the porch of the hotel, is for putting out fires there for the lower portions of the establishment, in case of fire.

[@tonyl4438]

There used to be a Six Flags in Broward County.

[@denisepazo2066]

😎

[@shinminamotto]

16:17 that used to be the a gas station then it became the town library until a few years ago

[@jkjodi]

Thank you for sharing this adventure! Will be checking it out for ourselves very soon.

[@donnaj5464]

I loved that old store, it has so many interesting things and old things too! Love the old Springs and to bad it went from four floors to one, that was really a neat place! Really good video, loved it! Thanks!

[@Love3285]

The First building was the Three B's Restaurant, they had really good food!! * Fun fact both President Teddy Roosevelt and Henry Ford visited the Spring House to bath in the water. * The little gas station building, was converted into the town library for a while. I spent a lot of my days there from '99 to 03''.

[@DisDutch]

Jay! We love love love these kind of vlogs!! It's what got us started watching Adam the woo. Please never stop making these whenever you get the chance. Thank you! Amsterdam Holland

[@TampaJay]

Thanks so much I’m happy to hear you enjoy these type of videos. I really enjoy exploring the backgrounds definitely much ahead. Adams a legend

[@william.weir2023]

i expected norman bates to greet you at that old motel...cool little town..

[@TampaJay]

Haha I almost said that too definitely thought it

[@bernardofitzpatrick5403]

wow - great to see these old places with all the fittings etc. ! love roadside abandoned :-) Springs must have been dope back in the day Great explore and town. Thanks TJ. .

[@TampaJay]

Bernardo Fitzpatrick thanks buddy it was one heck of a fun day trip appreciate you joining me

[@applevalleyhillbillygarden1093]

Cool.

[@trvlnthru]

It occurs to me that I have never really seen the inner workings of a gas pump before. Interesting. Kind of sad to see someone's failed business closed down like that with contents still inside. The old Suwannee Hardware store you found does look awesome. You always bring us some really cool finds. And White Sulphur Springs was fascinating too. Thanks for taking us along Tampa Jay!

[@marypettyfer4640]

Fabulous video 👍

[@michaelcaldwell4890]

Grandmother was from there. Early 1900s.Thanks for the video.

[@TH3GIFT3D]

I do love the old signs there cool !

[@mustangcindy1303]

I guessed correctly 👍 When I saw your selfie on Instagram at the former Springs location, I knew where you were. Never been there but it is on my list of places to go.

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Great vlog Jay!

[@HandsFullHeartFull]

Can’t go wrong with Yahoo man. That is a cool bike. Enjoyed it TJ 😃

[@TampaJay]

It’s a great beverage for sure thanks my friend

[@rcvitals]

Looks like something off movie swampthing

[@AH-rl9ev]

Yes! I remember that McDonald's rules sign. This is an Amazing video!.....

[@TampaJay]

Thank you my friend happy you remember it too :)

[@arkman8109]

I remember when McDonald's was just a hamburger place and you walked up to an outside window and ordered your food.. Fifteen cent hamburgers.

[@vincentappleby9521]

I enjoyed the video Jay. 🙂👍

[@TampaJay]

You’re the best

[@minutemark]

I really enjoyed this video, Jay! I love these old towns! 222 miles away from home, I really need to get down there. I'm still restricted to 100 miles for work purposes, but your video took me there. Thanks!

[@TampaJay]

Mark Langenkamp thanks dude it was a fun daytrip hang in there man

Thanks for watching guys. Here’s my latest video of the Rob Zombie Halloween II Filming Locations kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXjEcmWKobBjidE

[@phampletyt6808]

I’ve been here so many times

[@MikeRuh01]

Cool . I love looking back at history of towns and seeing what was there and if there is anything still around today. Or what it has changed too.

[@TampaJay]

Mike Ruh it’s a fun day trip worth taking thank you for tuning it my friend

[@Openairgarage]

Rollin' down hi-way 41...

[@kellycobb172]

In the grassy area just in front of the balcony at Sulphur Springs there is a filled in pool. You can follow the edge of it all the way around making a sort of 8 shape. I wish they would bring all that back.

[@TampaJay]

I saw that and wondered it what it was. That’s so cool thanks for telling me

[@pattistang9341]

What a "find" TJ... it's amazing so much of the original stuff is still there!

[@TampaJay]

Patti Stang thank you so much Patti it was a fun day trip glad you came along

[@birdnest5814]

Cool hotel..what there is left of it. Awesome history. Love the old general store.👍💕😊

[@TampaJay]

Thank you Shanna glad you liked it appreciate you coming with me

[@jameshughes9351]

My late. Grand dad. Use go. There with his girl back in the depession erra. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀He told. Me about it when i was younger.

[@moviejohn75]

Old store was cool hope to see some old Video stores on one of ur stops one day 📼

[@arinasan247]

At 6:28 that is definitely not an '80s soda machine. I grew up in the 80's and I used to see the occasional old fashioned soda machine like this one. Although I thought they were cool I was always a bit nervous putting my money in them because they often took my money without giving me a soda. Maybe it was just because I was not good at pulling the soda out the right way, lol. Anyways, those machines are more likely from the 50's and 60's🙂

[@andrewbaranowski78]

That coke machine is from the late sixties my dad had one exactly like that one

[@TampaJay]

Whoa I was way off that’s awesome

[@andrewbaranowski78]

Tampa Jay it was a well made machine for coke it was first used with glass bottles and cans now too

[@ToddEWalnuts]

You can always, always count on me for a thumbs up Jason.

[@TampaJay]

Thanks buddy

[@jimadams8182]

Great video Jay! Hope you've been well dude!

[@TampaJay]

Hey Jim thank you buddy

[@Cat-nq1ez]

Great to see the lost places, but it makes me a little bit sad, it was build from so many peaople and now it goes to become ruins.........

[@colinwithey1906]

Kelvinator that's a blast from the past became candy now just a consortium of hotpoint etc

[@TampaJay]

Colin Withey it was awesome thanks for tuning in

[@trish5556]

Is the Stephen Foster Park still open? They used to have a Carillion there and that might be the church bells you heard.

[@marypettyfer4640]

Hello Tampa 🙋‍♀️😘

[@kylepokeyporter8375]

i watched this video and then i saw Adams General store on American Pickers today. Mike and Frank were trying to buy something for Dollywood. How cool is that ?

[@TampaJay]

Whoa that is cool I love that show didn’t realize there were there

[@suwhardware]

@@TampaJay it was an antique store when the pickers and the ghost busters were there. the ghost busters. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4imhp5qpLFlmqc and it was in an Allen Jackson video, Little Man

[@moviejohn75]

In WV we have a town named white sulfur springs

[@jermettajohnson730]

The old gas station was a library

[@RAnthony80]

Steven Foster wrote Way Down upon the Swanee River song.

This is great Jay we as humans are destroying the earth. I now understand why the Indian cry

[@moviejohn75]

That hotel looks creepy like one off of the innkeepers

[@doofmaczemy]

So why does the water look so nasty now?

[@Suzjoh825]

Probably the river backing up into it

[@TH3GIFT3D]

You should go over to the old abandoned Hillmans bridge over the Suwannee river . It’s covered in graffiti

[@TampaJay]

Thanks my friend. That popped up on my radar don’t know how soon I’ll get there but that’s definitely someone I’d like to see one day. Looks awesome

[@unboxinglegit6277]

I live there it's pretty ghetto

[@druetepper2840]

!st You never heard of Stephen Foster? OMG 2nd Its not Sue-on-eee River its pronounced Suh-waa-nee River. Listen to the song Old Folks at Home on KZbin. 3rd. Your laugh is annoying. Otherwise I enjoyed the video.
