[@TheDailyWoo]

Instagram - AdamTheWooATW This trip has been very nice and much needed change from plane hopping lately . A little bit of a rush to get where I need to be and covering a lot of ground but definitely loving traveling a lot of backroads

[@corinth1121]

Hope you have a.c and a good car Adam, say do vlogs of the places , the motels you stay at, that's always interesting to watch, yes vintage ATW vlogging......🎉🎉🎉

[@bengaines3620]

Hope I get to get just a glimpse of you today at the Pittsburgh pirates stadium today

[@jeffreyoldham55]

Nobody does these type of vlogs better.

[@kgoger]

Got to get to Pittsburgh

[@ThisIsTomsWorld]

When you get to PA, if you should find yourself in Philly, or the area, please do let me know. Would be an honor to meet the man, the myth, the legend.

Thanks for going through my old stomping grounds as a kid. I shared this video with my sister.

[@joannepiatte4026]

Thank you for bringing these small towns into my living room. Places I will never see. Truly the heart of America.

[@robertwalters4024]

THANK YOU, Adam from this upload. I grew up in that part of Ohio and it was great to see it again. I have lived in Orlando for many years but Ohio will always be home for me. So many place in that NW Ohio region that scream small town America ripe for exploring. I was a 90s kid and I can remember riding bikes for hours and hours everyday with friends around small towns like that hitting up different spots for candy, ice cream, and cold pop. Great memories. Keep up the good work and P.S. you pronounced Bucyrus correctly the first time you said it, well done. People normally don't.

[@scoochman82]

Sunbury, Ohio resident here! Moved from St. Petersburg in 2018 and one of mine and my wife's favorite things to do was drive to these small towns and check them out when we moved here.

[@TheHehe1223]

Aint nothing like some small town viewing with Adam to start the day

[@ShelleeGraham]

GREAT 👍 job on this video of smaller towns in Indiana & Ohio. 🇺🇸 🚜 🌽 ⛽️

[@brianking973]

Love these small town videos. Makes for an enjoyable ride home after being extreme heat,dust, noise at my job.

[@jdtractorman7445]

I like these back road trips. It's such a switch from the hustle and bustle of big city life. Amazing how much difference there is between the two. I like that gas station with the old vintage pumps. Nice that history gets preserved and kept alive.

[@Paul-e5q9b]

Just watched your video from yesterday. Very entertaining as a Canadian watching your tour through Indiana and Ohio. Luv seeing where James Dean was born. Different art like the grasshopper. Lovely downtowns could pass for some in Ontario Canada. Nice farm fields. Much appreciated! Toronto here

[@mikey76710]

Just a little message Adam to say how much I appreciate your channel it can't be easy driving 400 miles a day and filming content. I have watched yr videos for years now and love what you do stay safe.

[@tylerdavis127]

Thanks for spending some time in my beautiful state of Ohio!

[@mwsilverback]

Realizing you had to pass right by my house when going through Kokomo... Missed you again, have a good trip my friend

[@davidkos74]

Adam this is you at your best - small towns, Americana and talking to farm animals - I love it and will miss it when it’s all over

[@MichaelRei99]

Adam is at his best with whatever he is doing. I just don’t get this cherry picking of his content . It is ALL great!!

[@pezzychaos]

Love the fact you always stop to say hello to the wildlife. A man after my own heart

[@davie941]

great interesting Vlog again Adam , you passed through some very interesting towns, well done and thank you 😊

[@edfurbee7118]

I was telling my wife about this series of videos that you're doing and I remember one time in the early 80s taking highway 19 and 41 from Griffin GA to Columbus GA when that was how one would go to Florida and the number of motor lodges that were abandoned properties along the way. It truly is a wonder to see America from these roads.

[@francisdv]

Absolutely love exploring small towns and hollers. Thanks Adam!!!

[@dawnberthold3894]

Good morning, Adam. These are my favorite videos! Thank you.

[@Jim-R]

Awesome to see you stopped off in my hometown of Kokomo! Hope you enjoyed your brief visit. Safe travels!

[@grantbrower1310]

Good morning Mr Woo. Thanks for another great vlog! Safe travels.

14:19 the cross in the clouds is awesome 💯

[@MISSLEONAJB]

I absolutely love Shawshank Redemption, so it was great to see that building at the end - I’ll have to go back and find that vlog you mentioned from years ago. Wow what a beautiful sunset at the end 😍 It’ll be interesting to see how many 00s or 000s of miles you do by the end of this trip ♥️ xxx

[@ck4426]

Nice Pontiac Vibe there in Swayzee!!! Yay for Marathon gasoline-“best in the long run” LOVE LOVE LOVE your small town adventures!!!

Aw man, I love the Kokomantis! ❤

[@GMSPARTY7]

You were in my dream last night. Your trips through backroads are my favorite. When I told you I wouldn't say I like your Disney videos and now I like the Carpetbaggers better, you gave me the finger.

[@Huskytrailsandtails]

Adam, since you're in Ohio you should go stop in downtown Cleveland. They have it all made out as Metropolis for filming the new Superman movie.

[@FirstTimeAdventures]

@TheDailyWoo, Love your channel, been watching it from the beginning when you first started. Thank you for the motivation to finally start my channel after a 2- year procrastination era lol.

[@FrankensteinLover]

Absoultely love small towns and the nostalgia of them.

[@johndreker1613]

That Sinclair gas station at the end was very cool, though that squeaky sign and one sign that said "go away" gave me some horror film vibes. I'd still like to visit there...during the day

[@tjme]

Don't worry, you're perfectly safe in Bucyrus. It's a wonderful small town. I live in a small village northeast of there.

[@ripvanrevs]

I have a Sinclair replica gas station in nearby Mt. Gilead. My dad owned a Sinclair in the 1970s

[@MicheleMay-ve4uj]

Backroads and commentary is always great with the Woo 🎉

[@stevemundy9886]

I think you were heading to PNC Park to see the Rays play. Hope you got to see them win and we get to see that video tomorrow.

[@ShelleeGraham]

9:20 cool vintage sign that used to have neon glass tubing on there.

Good morning, Mr. Woo! ☕️ Enjoy your piping hot caffeinated beverage this sunny, HOT 🥵 day. And yes, we are having a wicked heat wave! 🌞🔥🌞

[@NOLADEEJ]

Loving these vids dude! Such a beautiful part of the country!

[@douglasandkelley]

Sometime when you’re traveling through the farm country of Indiana again, you should check out my hometown, Wakarusa (means Knee Deep in Mud). Only about 3,000 residents, but it has a very well-kept, vibrant (for a small town) downtown. It’s where Gale Sayers had a home for a long time up until he passed away.

[@sherry1475]

Mansfield is close to my hometown of Akron. Love seeing anything Ohio. 😊

[@BobDoesReviews]

Sad to see you retiring Adam and slowing things down and taking it easy.

[@jennielauber8308]

What? He's not retiring. What gave you that idea?

[@369284ab]

@@jennielauber8308just from the daily vlogs. He said he’s going back to his old channel and doing videos occasionally but no longer daily

[@cnkirby1]

I was born and raised in Bucyrus, Ohio 1960-1981. The high school I graduated from is just a block from the miniature train you stopped at. Left Ohio for a career in the USAF at 19, now retired in Panama City, Florida. It was nice seeing my hometown on your show. If you are ever back through Bucyrus there are some interesting things you can visit. One of my classmates owns a bar in an old hotel on the town square. It is called "The Crazy Fox Saloon". There is an old prohibition era speakeasy in the basement that Al Capone use to hang out at when he was in town. They do tours of it. Also, several famous murals in town. You should check it out if you ever come back through.

[@Crossfirepyro2]

Love back roads & small towns across America

[@sandrap6321]

Quilted rock right up there with pet rock. Some people have vivid imaginations.

[@tanak503]

Adam have you ever visited Mitchell Indiana? Mitchell is the boyhood home to Virgil “Gus” Grissom who was one of the original 7 astronauts. You can visit his boyhood home and also visit a museum dedicated to him in Spring Mill State Park. Also you might find the park of great interest as it has a restored pioneer viallge.

[@christineschwartz8269]

Yep, we have been to Montpelier quite often,,, the other giant further Down the road Used to be Tin Lizzys... an ice cream place... and we live only a few miles from highway 18... and from Bryant.... 😊 Safe travels.. and Thank you for sharing

[@johnwoodley-kb8yp]

Adam, this is the way to travel and see America. I need to get out of the mindset of making good time and always being in a hurry. next utah/arizona road trip i will try your way. thanks. ATW & st. cloud, fl both rock.

Utah is gorgeous. We went through Canyonlands, Escalante and of course Bryce/Zion. If you have a 4X4, even better!

Adam I've been watching your vlogs for years. I live like 10 miles from uniopolis! I'm in cridersville. 😊 thank you for covering these small towns sir! Safe travels to you. Did you happen to go through Wapakoneta? It's the home of Neal Armstrong and they have a nice air and space museum!

[@mdf3530]

2:56 My uncle was a Catholic priest in the Diocese of Sioux City, Iowa. One of his parishes, St. Mary, was in a small farming community called Willey. Right at the crossroads, there was a row of mailboxes (which has been replaced by a setup similar to this but covered by a pergola). We always jokingly called those mailboxes the Willey post office.

[@michaelbickel5550]

Enjoy the game today! Thought about going, but it may storm. Have fun at PNC Park. Skenes is a beast, so get ready for a show. Let's Go Bucs!

Visit Malibar Farm State Park in Lucus OH, the farmhouse where Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall got married in 1945, also the cabin in the opening scene of Shawshank Redemption is on the property. Also Berlin Ohio, amish country is right down the road from there
