I visited Hot Springs for the first time last year and found it much more enjoyable and interesting than I expected. As mentioned in the video, a lot of history and unique sites to visit. HSNP probably should be a National Historic site, rather than a park, but it is cool and worthy of a visit.

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

A lot of it is a national historic site. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

[@stevenreid7165]

I live in Hot Springs, Ark right now and been here for two years.

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

Beautiful place to live, isn’t it?

[@jerrylanglois7892]

I live in baton rouge and have been for two years.

[@DavidSmith-bt5wq]

The video made it it seem like the tower is on West mountain. Just so nobody is confused i believe that is on Hot Springs mountain. Either way it is worth a visit, thanks for the video. Also, don't miss the Dryden Pottery factory.

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

Interesting…as you can see, according to the sign in the video, I went up the west mountain side and it led me to the tower. Now, I’m the first to admit I’m horrible with directions, LOL, but I know the road I went up and I don’t think there’s a way to circle around. I may be wrong, but I don’t think so. But either way, you’re correct, it’s a beautiful sight to see.

[@skybarwisdom]

Correction; Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. A legendary entertainer, actor, dancer, radio star.

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

???

[@skybarwisdom]

@@AnyWayYouTravel The video stated Bill "Bojangles" Richardson during the Woodman of Union Building portion.

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

But I hate is the correction??

[@alyssaowens0915]

I worked at the ACTI until it closed I wish it was still open it was amazing place to work and amazing historic pieces still there

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

It did serve a great purpose!

[@janefromtennessee]

I went there and I loved that place!!

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

It is beautiful!! Glad you could visit! Make sure to Subscribe to the Channel…in the next week or so, we’ll have a video coming out of the beautiful spring blossoms in Hot Springs!!

[@patgleason]

The observation tower is not at West Mountain. It is at the Hot Spring Mountain.

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

I hear that, and it seems like it when I look at it, but I only went up west Mountain. I must’ve hit a wormhole.

[@aboutfacealchemyrocks9282]

West mountain IS Hot Springs Mtn!

[@user-xo6bl8qc5o]

The video title is clickbait misleading. It covers a few well-known locations, but nothing out of the ordinary. Okay, the Capone hotel room, dark tile trail on the bar floor, and the alligators may not be in every video, but they weren't that unique or secret. While the narration, filming and editing are good, it's lite on information and sites. Disappointing, but the filmmaker has a lot of potential.

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

I appreciate you kind words about narration, filming, and editing. I work hard on that! However, I don’t agree with your assertion the title is click bait. How many videos that you’ve seen that talk about the history of Baseball in the town. Or show you where Babe Ruth hit his historic 500+ foot home run? How many videos show AND explain old Whittington field?? How many videos talk about and show the alligator farm? How many videos have shown you the Capone suite? How many videos have explained the background AND locations of the various aspects of the Ohio club? How many videos have talked about The Vapors Club and the story of Tony Bennet and the song, “I Left my Heart in San Francisco“? How many have talked about and explained the Army-Navy Hospital? Finally, I don’t recall any videos that I’ve ever seen that talked about the Woodman of Union building Bill “Bojangles” Richardson and his involvement in the community. There may be some videos that mention some of these things in passing, but most don’t explain them and very few feature a lot of what I featured on this video. I sure do appreciate you watching the video and I hope this changes your mind about the title being “clickbait”.

Do Cherokee Village, Ark Next...

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

I looked up your town. What is there to do that would be of interest to the country in Cherokee Village, Arkansas? I noted, star Falls and Kia Kima. What else would you suggest, say within 20 miles or so??

[@gsup3874]

@AnyWayYouTravel There are several recreational lakes,golf,camping,and its a up and coming area. A lot of people are moving here. Thank you 😊

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

@@gsup3874 anytime someone suggests a community to me, I always research it. And within Cherokee Village, and within a few miles of Cherokee Village, there a lot of things. I might look at trying to schedule a shoot there.

[@gsup3874]

@@AnyWayYouTravel Sounds great. 👍

[@user-kn3qq4he7u]

⁠@@gsup3874 Hopefully no one from Kalifornia and New York.

[@PaulWK92]

Ngl this makes me want to go there 😊

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

That’s the purpose of the videos, to promote tourism in Arkansas! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@WearthH]

It’s worth the trip.

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

@@WearthH Yes it is!!

Oaklawn Park.

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

Oaklawn Park is a nice place to go. The casino is beautiful, and of course the horse race is wonderful. However, this video was more about the out-of-the-way places of Hot Springs. If you go back and look at my older video on Hot Springs, I talk about Oaklawn there. Thanks for watching!!
