Limmy's Tours of Random American Places: Sandpoint, Idaho

This is my new favourite miniseries.

[@RhysoTV]

They're fantastic.

I could watch these for hours. Loads of potential improv material

[@EchoArlo]

Limmy should tour random cities like this once a week , I totally agree lots of potential

Hi, I live in sandpoint and when u see the "Connies Cafe" sign, the new owners were having the fluorescent light bulb replaced . It's not gun shots but the area the name Connies, fluorescent bulb is bolted in to the sign. Connies is delish btw.

I live in Sandpoint. And I was just at Connies and I work at Cedar Day spa right across the street from The Tervan. The tervan is a blast.

Best content in ages. Virtual world tour.

I just moved very close to Sandpoint earlier this year. This is a little surreal to watch

[@sweatyhaggis4303]

It’s surreal for me to see people in Idaho watch Limmy

Fucking wild how many cars and lanes on the road there are for a population of 9,000

Loved the Buster banter

[@lucaskane5364]

I moved to Sandpoint last year, and his assessment of the town is spot on. Also spending two minutes on Google Maps and going "ooo is that a Safeway" was definitely part of my decision process. Blew my mind as a fan of Limmy's show

[@lucaskane5364]

They fixed the connies sign! To much chagrin of the locals

[@ClaraBell3452]

I'm guessing that somebody misspelled "tavern" to "tervan." And they were like, "aw Jimmy you fucked up the sign!!!" And didn't have enough money to get it fixed. Nowadays they do have enough money, but they've kept the old sign as a charming gimmick.

[@estusflask982]

As an American I love these tours and hearing Limmy's thoughts

[@jackyack7850]

I call this taking a google holiday. I usually take one right before or after my lunch break at work.

[@TheMountainViewCompany]

As someone born and raised in Sandpoint, it's always interesting seeing people's perspective on my little town

[@fourohsevenfishing]

Taking Limmy to a Southern Baptist Church in Texas sounds like a hilarious time, as does making the first video ever inside Idaho's oldest bar. The entire time he was browsing Glasgow I was imagining the money I could make if I pulled up with a pressure washer.

[@kristian_goddard]

I find this hilarious as a Brit living in America. Hope you continue doing these!

[@SeanStewart88]

Likewise as a scot living here. Haha they are class

[@17peteclarke]

are the roads really that huge and rubbish

[@aegisfate117]

Can't we all just Brit a bong?

[@blackmichael75]

That's very post-modern actually, those tobacconist's that aren't tobacconists. The sign and the signified have parted company, and nothing feels an obligation to mean anything anymore. It's enough to just suggest things.

[@MrMisanthrope84]

Limmy needs to do more of these

[@diabl2master]

Sandpoint had such potential before it turned out to be just another American wasteland of cars, roads and car parks

[@hanoiramone]

The view is similar to Loch Lomond from Conic Hill.

9000 people and you can't get to the fucking Safeway on foot. Population that small, there shouldn't be anyone in the whole town whose window you couldn't put through with a brick from your front door, but the place is the size of Aberdeen!

Being vegetarian, those Safeway's were life savers last time I was in the States. Their shops are all so massive and sell everything, but Safeway can be relied on for some potato salad and wedges

#❤️❤️the Pie Hut in Sandpoint!

[@coprographia]

Sandpoint is a ski and lake resort town, sort of like Aspen though not on the same order. So the housing costs are off the charts for what you'd otherwise expect from a little Idaho town. Also Idaho in general has a problem in that it's a magnet for America's racists, and this place is no different. Surprisingly nice place to visit, though... enjoy the restaurants.

[@jasonfenton8250]

I just had a coworker the other day start sharing racist memes with me. One of my bosses when I worked at a temp agency was a literal neo nazi. Some of the people in Idaho are vile.

[@kevomaximo4028]

No wonder that the few that escape America for a holiday, think Europe and UK are so amazing! They've got hundreds of years of catching up to do. What a truly dull place. Their towns say everything, fast food, Christianity and streets with no personality at all. I've absolutely no desire to visit the place at all. Canada was bad enough.

[@jasonfenton8250]

I find some of the older cities to be tolerable because there's some interesting history and because they were built before the ugly car based city design became a thing. The best part of America is probably the nature stuff. Go hiking, or kayaking, or hunting. Get away from the ugly stroads and strip malls.

[@jdlamb4212]

Cuz you don't have to squeeze everything into a small area. When these places were first founded you'd just go out and buy some cheap land you can't even see all at once. Poor people could get a chunk of land that would put a lord to shame.

[@freddibna4976]

He should go through Ghettos in America , you see pimps , drug deals all sorts

[@NickBFTD]

26:00 doesn't rhyme also the grammar is incorrect, The plenty does not belong to the twenty.

[@idot3331]

It's grammatically correct to say it, because you're abbreviating "is". The only way to write it grammatically correctly is "Twenty 's plenty" with a space before the 's but that looks weird.

[@NickBFTD]

@@idot3331 Really ?, well bugger me. I can't recall I've ever seen IS abbreviated in that fashion, I'm no expert though.

[@idot3331]

@@NickBFTD "It's" is the most common example of "is" being abbreviated. We subconsciously use it all all the time in spoken English, less so written English.
