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

[@TheHehe1223]

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

[@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”

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@martymartin2894]

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

[@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.

[@ShelleeGraham]

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

[@chriskall23]

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

[@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!! 🎉

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@WLM596]

Thank you, Adam!😊❤

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@dianacook7492]

I live in Moline Il watch you all the time

[@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..

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@XtrevolutionXX]

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

[@michaelgraham827]

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

[@cynthia6055]

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

[@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!

[@JonetteCantu]

Welcome to Illinois. Enjoy your trip

[@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!

[@keishlaspivey232]

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

[@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

[@Rsmin]

Great video Adam. Love these videos of your travels!

[@97ladymuse]

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

[@jg_in_hd]

This feels like old Adam and I love it

[@midwaymonster30]

Huh? This is more of same boring stuff as per his new norm. At least we know you can make money by documenting the most mundane stuff. It's a good fall back plan.

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

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!

[@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. 😂

[@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.

[@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.

[@patrigarcia4007]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@mattlucas3609]

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

[@jamesacklin7261]

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

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

[@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…

[@TheMacawlady]

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

[@BrewCityGillz]

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

[@leazzel7]

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

[@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!

[@LadyDragonsblood]

As person that did some storm chasing and work for my town with SKYWARN.... please pay attention to watches and especially warnings. Do not try to outdrive a tornadic storm...do not seek shelter under an overpass... find shelter or if you must get out and lie flat in a ditch away from your car. And if you ever see a tornado, and it looks like it is not moving, it means it is headed directly for you! STAY SAFE, ADAM!!!!!

[@lizzard71]

Very good, more like this please.

[@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.

[@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. 🤞❤️⚾️

Having survived the 1967 Oak Lawn Illinois tornado that killed 33 when I was 10 years old, I always look for a safe place when the weather looks threatening and I'm away from home. It really sucked trying to find a safe place during my 31 years as a mailman.
