Old Time General Store, Restaurants, and Antique Cars found in a Barn on a North Carolina, Road Trip

Get ready for an exciting road trip to North Carolina! This highlight video showcases nine different locations that I documented during my journey. I visited an undisclosed location where a North Carolina man showed me his lifetime collection of antique cars. I also returned to places I recorded last year and discovered a few new locations. From restaurants to general stores, and even a Hillbilly Hideaway, this North Carolina Road Trip Preview Video has something for everyone.

Hey John Ward, it is always good to see my old pal Waynie. I can see he seems to be doing well thats a blessing. Salute to Waynie from part of the cleaning crew at plant six and eight. Who knew that he was going to become a UTUBE star after retirement.🙏❤️🙂

Thanks, John. Your videos are so delightful. You are preserving a fast disappearing way of life in America, so many memories relived by the places you go and the nice people you feature. I plan on visiting many of these places in the future. Your editing and technical skills are top notch also! This is quickly becoming my favorite channel on You Tube.

Here’s a VERY easy thing to remember… no matter what part of the U.S. you go to and they tell you that the textile/mills closed down you NEVER have to question again WHEN it was… just always remember it was the around the CLINTON years! It was when NAFTA started and all textiles mills began to go over seas!!! Ring a 🛎️ bell??!!!!🤨🤨

Hillbilly Hideaway has no menu?!! They don’t need one, they serve you what would be the whole thing. Great video. You continue to step it up even though we enjoy your earlier videos to your new ones. The singing of “Amazing Grace” really moved me.
