My Hotel Was Evacuated - Bad Weather Day In Quad Cities / Sylvan Island & Finding The Blues Brothers

[@13ishAbbie]

Hi Adam. That dome is for storing salt for the roads in the winter. It’s not dirt just an FYI from a Midwestern gal.

[@TheHehe1223]

These are my favorite Adam videos, just showing us the everyday places we would never think to visit.

[@duffeyboy]

You're back in my old stomping grounds! Graduated from North Scott, across the river. Was fortunate enough to play with Louie Bellson in high school, in 1985. And my dad worked at the Davenport John Deere plant until he was 80. Lot's of great memories in the Quad Cities! Safe travels, Adam!!🤘🏼

[@fotobd]

Nice! Bettendorf, 85!

[@toddjohnson1518]

My whole family is from Clinton, iowa just up the river! My sister lives in Davenport!

[@drcrash788]

Fun fact... Firefighter gear is called "Turnout gear". I grew up in a family of police and firefighters. I always look forward to your videos Adam. Good stuff.

[@joerepoman1]

Also “bunker gear”

[@ruthdean4766]

Wowzers! First the evac and then the crazy winds! Moline rhymes with Jolene. I had a house mate who was born there. We lived in Venice, CA! Thank you for introducing us to the GIV! Love that guy! Love you, too! I can’t wait for you to go international! Provost Park Pass is doing that in Europe. Peter and Kitra did China. Then there are the cruises! Trackers on the Fantasy! I hope you can cruise with the Trackers and / or Ordinary Adventures! Can’t wait!! 🎉

[@chriskall23]

welcome to quad cities. i live in rock island. hope you enjoyed your visit except for the bad weather

[@martymartin2894]

I like that view from the hotel over the river, especially in the rain.

[@fatesw1]

20:18 Louie Bellson! He was a drummer and played with all kinds of jazz and big bands. He Played with Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington & Benny Goodman to name a few. As far as I know, he is the first drummer to use two bass drums. He is pretty cool to us older drummers. Thanks so much for sharing Adam!!!

[@dianacook7492]

I live in Moline Il watch you all the time

[@joshuaowens4797]

Duuude... I live-in Rock Island, Illinois (Quad Cities)! If I had known you were here, I would have invited you to lunch or dinner. You were at one time in the video less than four blocks from my house. 😂

[@ShelleeGraham]

Love ❤the random wanderings in East Moline, Rock Island and Moline, Illinois. VERY NICE 👍 indeed.

[@bob4364]

Hey Adam great road and intersting road trip in Moline, Il..Mississippi River, vintage store signs, the Blue Brothers statues and more were very great ..Drive on and enjoy..

[@Tracy-d4b]

Thank you, Adam!😊❤

[@carlavision6143]

Adam, thank you for taking me along with you on your travels through small towns! Love these videos of yours! Can't wait till your next vlog.

[@thomasfyfe9174]

I'm from around there in the Midwest. That dome building is a salt and sand tepple it is where they store salt and sand for the winter

[@seanb87]

As a family member of multiple relatives in emergency services, including my brother, who is a fire chief, I thank all volunteers and paid personal for their dangerous jobs. Thank you Daily Woo for continuing to entertain all of us on KZbin. It’s much appreciated.

[@susantumblety6003]

Great signage!!!! Ghost signs! Lovin😊 it

[@zappykoenigg2801]

This is where I live! It’s so cool seeing my area in one of your videos. Also, that abandoned movie theater you saw in East Moline used to be an adult movie theater years back but they were forced to close because the city didn’t want them there haha

[@mattlucas3609]

Adam your "Hitchcock" moment had me laughing so hard I accidentally woke up my dog. 🤣

[@shannonbrand1200]

Circa 21 that you went by is one of very few theaters where all the wait staff (known as bootleggers) have performing arts degrees. It's such a special place where you eat and enjoy live shows and if you're celebrating something special your song from the bootleggers is also beautiful and harmonized. Welcome to the QCA...would have loved to have ran into you while you were here! Really love your chanel!

[@ExKUKicker]

Worked at a hometown theater and drive-in in high school. The theater was built prior to WW-1 with traveling Broadway groups, initially...then into a traditional film theater. Had the original neon lit sign over the patio area. Closed in the 90's for a new 6-Plex Theater. Building burned down in the early 2000s. Sad when I return to visit to see nothing but an empty lot.😕 And...the drive-in is gone, as well, turned into a wheat field. I suppose, progress is good, but it tends to eliminate history in its advancements. Keep Keepin On, Adam!👏

[@midwestadventures1975]

Thinking of drive in there's one in Maquoketa iowa not to far from where your staying. However get there early on a weekend.

[@debbiedunn8600]

Adam really enjoyed this video. Thanks for taking us along with you.

[@warde3]

Hey Adam! The hand prints in concrete on the wall, are of that of the legendary jazz drummer Louie Bellson.. an amazing man that played with all the greats of the jazz era, notably with the Duke Ellington Orchestra… Louie was the pioneer of double bass drumming that we commonly see today. Bellson recorded a drum solo called Skin Deep, considered one of the best solos ever played.. Louie also broke racial barriers in his time, in 1952 he married the great jazz singer Pearl Bailey.. they were married until her death in 1990… Bellson was born in the Moline area.. As a drummer myself, I got the opportunity to attend one of his drum clinics in OKC.. do a quick Google search and find a video of him on Carson… very nice man! Thanks for the vlogs!

[@gailsugg5136]

My husband was invited by our local North Carolina John Deere dealer to tour this facility. It was in the winter and he said it was brutally cold. As a souvenir, he brought back some really small wooden Dutch shoes. He really enjoyed the tour. Glad there was no fire. We were evacuated from a hotel one night. I, as you, packed up all our possessions and took them outside. Eventually, they let us back in and I then put everything back into the hotel room furniture. No sooner had I finished, we had another alarm and had to evacuate again. It happened 3 times in one night. Very frustrating. Be safe. Enjoying your road trip. Thanks for taking us along 😊

[@janicewright6375]

Hey NC that's where I am from. What a crazy thing to happen

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Hey Adan, I’m glad the hotel situation was ok and that the weather cleared up for you. It is great seeing the ghost signs - defo brings back memories of the past 😊 I hope your day back on the road today is going well so far xxx

[@trish5556]

Sorry about how your day started, but you always make the best of any situation. Years ago my husband and I were staying at a Days Inn in Augusta, Georgia when a wild thunderstorm came up and lighting struck one of the rooms. We were evacuated and watched them put out the fire. Thankfully yours was not as serious. Enjoy your Rays game in Minnesota!

[@michaelgraham827]

With a hat tip to Vacation … ya know it’s going to be a good video. Well done, Adam.

[@AgentLCWonderWoman]

Duuuuuude, you're back up in my neck o the woods! 🥰 But we're now in Omaha for the College World Series and my 2nd offspring's baseball tournament. You'd LOVE the whole baseball vibe, baseball village and vendors. Hopefully you're headed out this way. 🤞❤️⚾️

[@elle366]

You probably felt at home with the heat index there! Funny thing, my daughter and family were there same day and your trip to Milwaukee, my grandsons were there to see the game same day you were there. . You and my family keep crossing paths!

[@Gemashke]

Moliene is the birthplace of one of the best drummers of all time (and the inventor of the double bass drum setup)...Louie Bellson! Johnny Carson featured Louie Bellson on the Tonight Show many times...such an incredible drummer and nice man!!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Oh no kidding ? Very cool and thanks for the info

[@Gemashke]

@@TheDailyWoo Indeed. You're welcome, Sir! :)

[@jevs1964]

God bless that drummer! He must have given Neal Peart the idea for the double base drums

[@Gemashke]

@@jevs1964 Neal loved Louie's playing!

[@Gemashke]

@@TheDailyWoo Those were Louie's hand prints in Rock Island that you showed in your video.

[@XtrevolutionXX]

Love from Davenport Iowa welcome back to the QC my dude enjoy the heatwave 😆

[@lisaharris8165]

Adam, it’s so weird- you and I are OFTEN in the same places just days apart. I recently had to leave my position at Disneyland in March I was living in Fullerton and moved to the Quad Cities (Davenport, IA). I was out in the storm this day too.

[@cynthia6055]

Great view of the river ! Glad everything ended up okay at the hotel. I love the Blues Brothers at Universal....they are awesome!!

[@Jerryjohnson-i4g]

Enjoy your upcoming visit to Target Field this week. I have to believe you'll be at one of the three games (Tues.-Thur.). I may be a long way from my home state of Minnesota, but I still follow the Twins and they host your Rays this week.

[@RodShopDodgeColt]

Great video Adam! We were looking at a house in that neighborhood in Rock Island and it was like a set from a zombie apocalypse movie, all it needed was a few cars flipped over and on fore and they could film an episode of The Walking Dead. We did not buy.

[@Rsmin]

Great video Adam. Love these videos of your travels!

[@smitty7284]

that QC coffee and pancake house ive been to a few times. they have great food, especially their cinnamon roll pancakes 😋

[@97ladymuse]

Despite the weather hope ya enjoyed visiting us here in the quad cities.

[@JonetteCantu]

Welcome to Illinois. Enjoy your trip

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

I liked how they repurposed the old parking meters. These are cool small towns... stay safe!!

[@johndreker1613]

Very random, but I liked it. We got to see a real day, filled with a fire drill, coffee failures, road work and storms, yet there was still beauty in the day. Enjoyed it!

[@jamesacklin7261]

Well hi Adam, i must say this was certainly quite a variety in the video today.Stay safe my freind, from Universal Jamie.

[@cindythecatwoman1601]

Being evacuated was an exciting way to start your day. I'm glad nothing serious happened. I'm sorry you couldn't get any coffee. You could get a French Press coffee maker and bring your coffee with to make when you travel.

[@Nick9Three]

Born and raised in Davenport (Iowa side of the “Quad Cities”) Lived there for 28 years. That’s the only place I’ll ever call home. Thanks for sharing the Quad Cities with the rest of the world. The baseball movie “Sugar” was filmed at Jon O’Donnell Stadium in downtown Davenport. Good flick, would recommend it for baseball enthusiasts. The film “WhiteBoyz” was also filmed in Davenport in the 90’s. It follows a group of teenagers who think they are gangster rappers and travel to Illinois to score some c*caine. It’s a dreadful movie but if you like stupid moves it might be up your alley. My uncle was an extra in the scene where the main character is having a dream and walking through a cornfield to find a concert going on. My uncle is in the blue dress shirt. The film also features Eugene Byrd(8-Mile), Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre, Slick Rick, Fat Joe, and Doug-E fresh.

[@jefft2562]

Since you enjoy the out-of-the-way locations and maybe some little known historical spots, may I suggest a few things on the Iowa side that might interest you. In Long Grove you have Buffalo Bill's older brother's grave at the Long Grove Christian Church, then up the street is the old former Stockman's Bank which was the scene of a bank robbery in 1921 where the robbers were gunned down by vigilantes, (bullet holes still in the building). Head toward Scott County Park and you have the Pioneer Park and after that you have Buffalo Bill's childhood home down the road. Of course you have the famous American Pickers in LeClaire. Happy adventures and keep the awesome videos coming!

[@chimpovision]

Adammmmmmm been a big fan for so many years and now you are in my home town? Wish I could have ran into you, would love to meet you.

[@patrigarcia4007]

Oh no 🤦🏻‍♀️ great start at least nothing serious 😊

[@jeschieffer]

I used to live close to the QC and now am about 2 hours south of there in Lincoln! Come visit us for some history!

[@catherinetozzi8056]

You should always check into a hotel with some treats for your stay,,,,,,,fig newtons, peanuts, raisins,,,,,,and definitely coffee, Exciting vlog, a place I have no desire to visit IN PERSON, this way is fine, Thanks! ❤️🙏🏽🌴

[@charleneheiland8803]

Louie Bellson wife,the great Pearl Bailey !!! Saw her in Hello Dolly . Fabulous !!!

[@keishlaspivey232]

That teal building looked like a painting, from a certain angle it looked like a 3 dimensional painting 🖼 🌴🌺

[@TheMacawlady]

Wow! That sucks. Moline is where my husband was born. Sorry you had to go through that

[@coachshanonfreeman]

I love the Blues Brothers! I also like those statues. Not typical.

[@lisabudascasey1234]

Those spheres hold the salt for the roads on winter

[@conniecrawford5231]

When there are two salt spheres next to each other, commercial drivers refer to them as “Dolly Partons”! Lol

[@mattlucas3609]

@TheDailyWoo Were those Videobob's Blues Brothers Statues from his front porch? He recently sold his, that'd be so cool if those were his!!

[@travissapp4961]

What wow glad you are okay adam

[@nadiaborzacchini1987]

Well glad your okay good video hope you had a good fathers day as well

[@MikesVegas]

I don’t know how far your are from Aurora IL, but party on Adam 😂

[@brianhumphrey6791]

I was in my hometown in Fairfield,IL yesterday and our favorite resturant burnt! Very sad day for Fairfield. Glad you were ok though…

[@davie941]

hi again Adam , another cool Vlog, looks like someone wanted content for their channel lol, amazing how quick the weather can change , this was interesting , well done and thank you 😊

[@naybur74]

[@CaptainPhoton64]

[@ReflectingOptimism]

Lol your Gremlins impression sounded more like Scott on tape lol..😂

[@leazzel7]

This happened to us when we stayed at the Grand California. Fire alarms at 7am. That was fun

[@ellie7398]

5:49 Adam I laughed out loud, glad the Woo is safe 🔥

[@lizzard71]

Very good, more like this please.

[@ktotheramer]

Come to Iowa! I’m in Waterloo! You can come to Lost Island Themepark, now on their second season!

[@metalmark062]

Hey Daily Woo Woo how about doing more off beaten roads in traveled towns that you did before? I really enjoyed them NO MORE (failing) DISNEY CRAP AND BALL PARK ADVENTURES THATS WHY I SUBSCRIBED…✌❤

[@TerryB751]

Day without coffee. Oh no. Will probably need a gargantuan cup tomorrow. 😁

[@magg13thecat]

You should drive 800 miles on Sunday and visit the towns on Saturday or Monday when things are open. Sorry about a day with hotel fire, no breakfast. Storm and no coffee. Hope next days are better

[@ianstyles9759]

oh crap Adam hope you're getting a better place

[@kalyntaylor11]

Now we know who the guy is clogging up emergency stairways with luggage lmao. I bet you would do the same in a plane emergency as well. But at least you have your stuff right. Jeez Adam. Besides that, great content man!

[@JDFILMS86]

What a beatiful town but there is no people around i dont know if because it was sunday or for the weatherbut there is no much people around it and is so sad that theather is closed what a beatiful old style theather

[@StormCentral1998]

these are my favorite adam the woo videos. the going into small towns and historic or movie places.

[@TheFloridaSnowflake]

@5:59 I definitely laughed out loud... all the "nope".

[@midwestadventures1975]

In moline across the street from the candy and ice cream shop is analogy they have retro video games there. Fun time playing the old pinball and games from our youth.

[@brianwilsonfilm]

Adam, you should come to southern Illinois! Lots of cool little towns like Makanda, which is kind of an artist hippie community built on an old west boardwalk, and Benton, which is where Beatle George Harrison’s sister lived for many years.

[@geronimosrifle2913]

Don't know if you're going to Indiana but if you are it be really neat to see James Dean's Family Farm and burial and maybe Steve McQueen's home. I've never seen any of those and can't get out right now, but if you go, I'll buy you a coffee, 😉

[@aliciabratton3832]

Whitey's Ice cream. That's one thing Moline has to offer. Visited my Aunt and Uncle there a couple years ago, and the black walnut ice cream at Whiteys is Ab Fab.

[@hpc4839]

I’ve had the privilege of touring Harvester Works a few years ago. If you like mechanical things it is very interesting.

[@toddsimpson9164]

If you think about Iowa, go and tour the Cedar cities (Cedar Rapids, Cedar River, etc). The two biggest factories are in that area, CHEERIOS and JOHN DEERE.

[@robertmiller2830]

That little damn that you mentioned in your video is actually on the Rock Island arsenal there’s a lot of history on that island

[@midwestadventures1975]

Used to hold civil war POW at rock island arsenal.

[@tonedefoftheme]

I was on the island when the storm hit riding my bike. Was a little crazy for a bit.

[@chitownkid8716]

Maybe you'll head up to the Bellevue IA and Dubuque IA area. I used to spend a lot of my summers in Bellevue near US Lock and Dam No. 12.

[@midwestadventures1975]

Bellevue heritage days are the best. July 5&6 this year. 6th being the full day events.

[@ryB-em7jr]

I live just down the river in a town called Muscatine Iowa . The area you are in is called Quad cit includes both sides of the river

[@charleneheiland8803]

Husband's family was from Muscatine. He was born there.

[@ryB-em7jr]

The town should be called slyvis . Your pick the hottest time to come up

[@rhonda2827]

If you happen to be near Riverside, Iowa the last Friday and Saturday of June, Trek Fest will be happening. The future birthplace of Captain Kirk celebration. Lots of cos play, museum, parade, etc. I believe there are a couple of celebrities attending this year. :)

[@emoslim-h9f]

Hey Woo! When your by the ocean look for fresh/alive fish markets. I find those interesting.

[@BrewCityGillz]

🔥🚨 Coming in hot today! Glad it wasn’t anything too wild.

[@DG11500]

I am originally from the Quad Cities. Right across the river. Could have given you tips of good place to eat you won't find in Florida! My cousins owns EM coffee company.

[@selbyjohnson5986]

I’ve been through a few of these hotel fire alarm evacs always false alarms.

[@kimsinclair9100]

Rude awakening for sure. The dome looking shed houses road salt for winter. So many coffee teasers on that stormy day… dang!

[@scottdepotter8262]

Bad weather back here in Florida yesterday. Tornado touched down in Homosassa springs

[@Jdubuque86]

Adam are you in dubuque or galena again. Let me know...... personal tour!

[@patf.3776]

That was some worrisome weather for sure. Why don't you have a small thermos to keep in the car for piping hot beverage emergencies?

[@wisdomSP]

Microwave popcorn incident? All those numbers can be confusing for some. LOL!

[@KyleJasonLowell]

Liking and commenting for that sweet sweet Christmas Vacation quote.

[@stuckeystop]

In the event of an emergency, remember: take the stairs, move quickly, and don’t forget to grab your Stuckey’s t-shirt 😉

[@MylesNewman-cc1tx]

The sky was angry that day, my friend.

[@GregsGameRoom]

“Like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli…” Wait, wrong reference.

[@rtyughvbn12]

lol

[@jamescollins1022]

If you get a chance try Harris pizza and Happy Joes also.

[@bruddamanHI808]

Louie Bellson - handprints on the wall. He was a jazz drumer born in RockFalls in 1924
