Hot Springs: What They're NOT Showing You!

[@BransonandBeyond]

What an absolutely fantastic and informative video. I will be seeing this town very soon

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

Thank you for the kind words!! I have another video on the city that highlights some other activities and places to eat! Again, thanks for watching, and I hope you subscribe! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJW1gGyNh5ebqZIsi=NbAKKAI1coSoLNGM

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

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

Beautiful place to live, isn’t it?

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

[@larry78cj7]

Hot springs is awesome no doubt. There is some of the best pizza places in the world there. Best pizza I’ve ever had was there.

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

I agree with you 100%! There are some fantastic pizza places here. In fact, in my last video on Hot Springs, I highlighted MY favorite pizza place!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJW1gGyNh5ebqZIsi=KbwKMIL6gAx8Bprq

[@larry78cj7]

@ I had SQZBX Brewery pizza. It was unbelievable. I wish we could get pizza like that in Indiana.

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

@@larry78cj7 their pizza is excellent too. I have enjoyed it!

[@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.

[@CourtneyRobinson]

@@AnyWayYouTravelI am local. It is on North Mountain. This is the one downtown behind Promenade or bath houses. West Mt is downtown also, opposite side of the street downtown.

[@CourtneyRobinson]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I’m local and was born downtown when the hospital was located by where Cafe Kahlo is now. Thank you for visiting our town.

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

@CourtneyRobinson well, I’m kind of an old guy, I know I went up the west mountain and I got a picture of the tower, but that’s not saying that I didn’t do it another time in the same day when I happen to go up the north mountain. That’s one of the benefits of getting older, you complete memory loss. 😂😂😂. I did move into the area though about two years ago. I love the Hot Springs area.

[@CourtneyRobinson]

⁠@@AnyWayYouTravelyes you do enter the North Mt from the west side. How confusing is that! ;). It’s one way so it starts and ends in one big loop with one off shoot circle at the top. Enters and ends on the same street by the Arlington. Hot Springs also was pretty small when first developed and kind of was void of good city planning. So it can be quite confusing. Welcome to the area.

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]

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!!

[@porcine83]

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.

[@davidwilliamson4937]

I live in Hot Springs.. been to it all. Kool….go Hot Springs. I avoid all that stuff 😊

Shame you didnt tell us about the 'old world' buildings. Tartaria.

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

I can only assume by “old world” buildings, you mean some of the older hotels, some of the hotels that no longer exist, etc.??

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!!

[@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!

[@brandyishot]

I went to school there I miss it all the friends I got to meet

[@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??

[@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!

[@CourtneyRobinson]

@@aboutfacealchemyrocks9282 we have West Mountain & North Mountain, North Mountain and West Mountain are both downtown. North Mountain is also called Hot Springs Mountain and it’s behind the promenade and bath houses. * I’m local was born downtown. My dad and my son were both tour guides.

[@Jean-Jacques-y9l]

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”.

[@choctawcat5676]

Who cares about the bar

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

Actually, the bar is a very historic place and it has a lot of history tied to it. That’s why people enjoy going there and experiencing it.

[@johnmartin2732]

It's where the poor people go after they save up a little money, really a crappy place. Much better places to go spend your hard earned money.

[@AnyWayYouTravel]

@@johnmartin2732 Ok…you’re entitled to your opinion….BUT….every years tens of thousands of people enjoy their vacation to Hot Springs!!
