I have a story about Wortham: I went there in 2019 to visit the grave of the bluesman Blind Lemon Jefferson. When my girlfriend at the time and I got to the town square, it was empty except for a few people standing around some folding tables. On these tables were loads of fresh produce. The pastor and some other helpers were giving it away. We talked with them a while, told them why we wanted to visit and took our fill. Really kind people.

Having watched every single video in this channel, I would like to thank Joe and Nic for all the efforts they have made. I also have to say that the exact same circumstance is with China where small towns and villages are almost empty with only aged people left while big cities are packed with people struggling making ends meet paying rent and mortgage, although the powerful central government have made every efforts to improve infrastructures and facilities in rural areas. I was born and raised in a city in central China with a current population of 12 million people and have lived here for forty years, however I've started to wonder if it is of rightious to keep things the same way of what they have been for the last three decades and I doubt if this image of prosperity and convenience in front of us is leading us to a sustainable future.

I enjoyed the video, Hubbard was interesting, very clean , nice homes much like some of the older homes in Ballinger , Texas where I grew up, I love the big porches around the houses. We all have to remember many many years ago people had no health insurance you paid a doc in cash who may have a small practice at his home etc. No cell phone bills, no cable bills and pehaps a wood fireplace and very little useage of lights . I feel that is how people made it , they had low overhead. Many kept cars for 20 years or more. just put another engine in it. We have worked ourself into a pickle with modernization I feel. especially when it comes to agriuculture.

Thank you for continuing to present us with fascinating glimpses into parts of the USA we would never have seen otherwise. Your videos remain informative and educational and visually delightful. As we all pretty much live in largish cities anymore, to see where and how folks used to live in these formerly charming rural settings is invaluable. It was a kinder, slower, gentler country back then. Cheers …

All the towns you toured there in Texas, remind me of many of the small towns in Oklahoma. You get a varied mix of the good, the bad and the ugly. But a lot of the hole in the wall towns here are remnants of a bygone oil boom that are just hanging on. A town like Shamrock that once had over ten thousand people is now doing well to have fifty or sixty. A story of more prosperous times. Enjoyed the video and will be watching for the next. Until then stay safe and God bless. Steve in Oklahoma

When I was a kid growing up in Texas 70 plus years ago, I can remember how little rural towns were pretty interesting and sometimes seem to be still rich with colorful characters and friendly people. I really soaked up my Texas heritage back then and loved thd more rural and country life. Too much has changed and I can't say I like it most of the time.

Hey guys, your house girl here lol. The house in Hubbard on 7th Street has 3 bdrms, 2 baths, 2,230 sq ft. Asking price is $245,000 and built in 1974. It says it has new interior but if it does, it still looks very '70's to me - dark paneling and dark kitchen cabinets etc. and the bathroom def looks like the 70's. However, looks very clean and well kept. Has a 2 car garage as well but no real photos of a back yard. Another great video guys - thx!! xoxo

It's not just the remote towns at all. I live in Denver and we used to have one of the best downtowns in the country imo. It was so pleasant to hang out and walk around. Nowadays I rarely go down there. The rate at which it has gone downhill in the last few years is alarming. This is true for cities all over the US. I've lived in this country my whole life, through bad and good times, but the sense of genuine national and societal decline has never been this palpable..

I visited relatives in Wortham many years ago, and some are buried in a cemetery not far from there. All those towns you just visited I have never heard of before despite having to go through them on TX 14 and TX 31 and being so close to Wortham. You said Wortham was 64% female and nearby Tehuacana was 61% male, you would think these two towns would "hook up!" Then you mentioned another town along your drive had a slew of motels, which was "unusual." Maybe these two above towns in fact DO hookup after all! Some place else, ha ha. Hey, they're just being discreet and taking it all beyond those nosy, gossipy, chatterbox neighbors in their own home towns🤪!

Coolidge: a place where dogs run free and empty houses and buildings sit ‘silent’ underneath a Texas sky.

Yes no leash logs in any of those towns, unfortunately. I’m from Tehuacana - several dumped dogs everywhere.

A little bit of a scenery change from the last episode, eh? I'm always fascinated driving through these empty old main streets with their empty storefronts, imagining what things might have been like when the towns were thriving. I passed through the area a couple of years ago in late spring--the thing that sticks out in my memory? Love bugs. I must have stopped to clean off my windshield 5 or 6 times in one day, Until we meet again in Waco, happy trails!

Some really nice houses in Hubbard. Especially like the grey one with the turret! I do like the small rural towns. I like the brick streets in Wortham. Cool rooster. Also like the cat and dog sightings. Appreciate the view into these five towns. The only time I was in Texas was at one of the airports on a layover. Would love to visit some day.

Texas loves cats. Anywhere in Texas you will see lots of cats. Animal control does catch and release where they are caught, dewormed, nurtured, treated for any health issues they have and then released to help control the rodent and snake populations. 😸

Great video as always. I'm not sure if you did something with the camera, but when you pan to the side with it, the picture seems to be a bit blurry. Otherwise, that house in Hubbard is a bit overpriced, but it would have some solid potential.

Very interesting to see these small areas and signs of decay. That one house had a connex box next to that was bigger than the house, makes you wonder what they're keeping in there. In these back woods locations you can get an eery feeling because it looks like something out of a movie and in fact could be a setting for a movie. You should scout movie sets for entertainment companies. Some of these places don't much different from backwoods Louisiana where I lived years ago, I drove up to see a neighbor in one of these isolated lots and he was chopping all of this raw meat with no refridgeration in sight. You see dogs wandering loose also.

Hey if you get to Milford soon, please drive by the house behind the city park, it has a beautiful magnolia tree in the front yard. I used to own that house and I can see on google earth, I’m ashamed of what it has become. We used to have a beautiful backyard, box hedges, and flowers.

I really enjoy you and Nicoles channel. Driving thru the vast abyss of backwoods towns makes me hungry. A nice chicken fried steak from Texas would work nicely! Houston had really good chicken fried steak but nuthin else. Drinking was fun though.

Sad, desolate, barren and empty places with nothing to do. They could pick some of those towns to do a remake of the classic 1971 film, "The Last Picture Show". That movie's alienation theme was set in the backdrop of a dreary and dying Texas town in the 1950s. Thank you Joe & Nic for these real slices of American rural life.

I thought the same about the sharpness in some places, and wondered if it was my eyes also. Perhaps the auto-focus is not cutting in properly. See how things are in the next video.
