Dan Bell / Film It LOVE YOU, DAN!! Listening to your soothing voice aftr a long, unkind day at work puts a smile on my face and promises me a relaxing night.😊

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Love your voice Dan! :)

[@YoungEducationUSA]

Are there any other ways to help support? I deleted my account & refuse to use their service due to jumping on the censorship bandwagon. Love your shows though so would still like to support. 🙂

[@jillsmith633]

@Kara Middleton Hi Kara, same thing happened to me exactly. I was paid for January and it kept showing the podcast as locked. I cancelled too. I tried contacting Patreon and left a comment for Dan on another video. Not sure what was up with that.

[@jeffcampbell6898]

Dan, if you ever get the chance could you do STORY ON OLD DOWNTOWN Dayton Ohio. It was another place I lived long ago and it was a hoping town but an old friend sent me a video of it a few months ago and I can't believe how it is now such a dead abandoned City.

Wow great video! Dan's soft voice, so tender, so soothing, so erotic and orgasmic!😊😚 I think I was hard all the way through!😀 But seriously I always look forward to Dan's next video!

Sounds a bit creepy!

Dan's voice is so comforting...just before falling asleep it's like a lullaby ❤️

[@karenswift5902]

Dan, I love your "quiet" time videos when it is just you.. They're soothing in a weird kind of way, I think it is your voice.. You would have been the perfect late night pillow talk D.J. back in the day... Thanks again for another most awesome video..

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Agreed Karen!

Hello. Me too

[@weezie168]

Dan, I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this video. That's something you'll never forget & will be telling so many children about Glup Lake. Those memories become such precious times. Ty for sharing this with us.

[@julietherese9318]

GREAT! I've got Dan Bell softly whispering in my ears...candle lit...covers over my tired worked all day body...aaahhhh. I LOVE YOU, MR. BELL.

Yessssss another quiet time!!

[@63connie78]

Fascinating......relatives lived in Texarkana, Ark...going back to early railroad days. Great Aunt put me on train in 1959 (at this train station) so I could experience ride from Texarkana to Port Arthur, TX on KCS line, for which great grandfather had been railroad engineer (his main route). Great Aunt was last connection to Texarkana when she died in 1983. After searching google for her house at 315 Beech St., it is gone now, along with her brother Jimmy's classic Victorian house next door on corner, which Catholic Church demolished after using house for sister's quarters. Only one property remains across street....a 2 story brick duplex with 'Jas. A. Bradfield' over entrance. You should check out Port Arthur also,,,,was large bustling port city up until 50's, when everything went downhill....now only one tall building on Proctor St.,...Sabine Hotel....where my father visited his grandfather every Sunday after mass. So much history is disappearing right in front of us.

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Wow, so awesome! :)

[@christinacope562]

That's a sad loss demolishing homes of that time period. I love older style homes architecture, today homes are so boring looking.

[@daniel1571]

Texarkana is a city in eastern Texas, with a twin city across the border in Arkansas. Spring Lake Park has playgrounds, walking trails and sports fields. The 19th-century Ace of Clubs House, now a museum, is shaped like a playing-card club. Interactive children’s exhibits at Discovery Place include a sound wall and general store. Built in 1924, the Italian Renaissance-style Perot Theatre hosts musicals and concerts.

[@speedweed4970]

The vibe of this video was on point Dan, amazing work!!

[@Purplefishish]

I am so happy to see you are back doing what you best. Handheld, soothing voice creating atmosphere, interesting bits of info and history for us non Americans. I will definitely be checking out your channel regularly again. Thank you for this

[@rosemaryangela1825]

Quiet Time is back!!! Yes!!!!

[@rosemaryangela1825]

Dan so glad u r back to filming part of what made u famous!

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Yes... agreed!

I miss these videos.

[@ceenew2886]

[@phycruz]

Hi Dan! I smashed the like button and hit the big 1000! Loved the extreme zoom shot of the building looking in through the windows that was awesome! Thank you for sharing this relaxing video.

[@jamesr4458]

I really enjoy both the filmwork and the commentary on these videos. Living where I do I don’t see many abandoned places, and it’s really interesting to see such places at night. Both eerie and relaxing at the same time somehow.

[@writerwarriorqueen]

Squeeee & YIPPPPEEEE! Another STELLAR video by one of my top favorite Documentarian's in the Universe. I never refer to Dan Bell as a KZbinr. Because when he does his Film It & Quiet Time video's. They are of such high quality, history, camera angle's, shot's, lighting & background. Seriously, like mini movie's. And, believe you me, I've been watching Documentaries for decades. Definitely am a Film Buff. Not sure if you'll ever get time to read this comment Dan. But I thank you from the bottom of my "somewhat" Dark heart. For providing such intriguing subject matter in all of these. And thus enhancing my life. Wish I would of discovered your channel's years ago. Only in the last 9 month's now. The highlight of my time on this Planet. Is when I get a new notification that you've posted something new. I've even gone & re-watched plus shared many of your compelling works of Art. Also enjoyable, is how: open, down to earth, approachable & humorous you come across personally. I wanted to wish you a most Healthy and Happy 2019!! ~ Sincerely, an admirer of your work and one of the most enthusiastic fanz Watching this at 2:15 am, no lights on except from my TV Chromecasting.

[@50KENT]

Every time I get pissed off and or stressed out I’ll just put my iPods in and click on any one of Dans Quiet Time videos and it always makes everything all better again. Seriously, thank you Dan! #DanIsTheUndergroundASMRking💯

Wow, the ceiling at Union Station is gorgeous.

Texarkana was also abandoned in the famous documentary "Smokey and the Bandit"

[@suzannacox1607]

Thank you Dan! Great video. This made my morning. You really captured the creepy vibes of abandoned downtown. It is sad to see a city's downtown in that condition.

[@sillywilly7712]

So! We missed you dan, i know i have, just admire your work and, i realize you can only walk threw so many abandoned places, and it may seem repetitive to you at times, but i speak for myself, and i believe others, that you bring a since of adventure and thrill of some of the darker corners of life and how quickly culture, economical change, and over all parts of over looked bygones if you will... But you seem to capture, and recapture that in ways that i myself forsure, totally get where your coming from with your work! Just like to say thank you, and hope to see more...

[@sebastienbolduc5654]

At the beginning when you said that you went out that night and screwed around with a..., I thought things were going to get interesting. Ha ha ha Thanks again for another Quiet Time. I love this series.

[@joshuaayres121]

That is a Bright light! Fascinating video. Interesting facts about the abandonment rates. Thank you!

[@kristenhackman6029]

I’m not into “Another Dirty Room” it was funny at first but I’m here for the dead, dying and decaying places. Quiet time is a favorite oddly enough if I can’t sleep I just put a quiet time on and I’m usually asleep before it’s over.

[@10151957june]

Thanks for the quiet time Dan. Much needed as I start my day. Union Station is so beautiful!

Texarkana! My favorite place!

And, of course, the giggles never hurt......or your wonderful sexy, soothing voice........::))

[@mrcheesenips]

@ 8:14 - when you pan over, look directly at other side of the next room across in view in the doorway (or center of the video frame), black figure shows up and then moves swiftly to the left and seems to peek over a ledge after it moves. Could be your reflection, or you’ve got a friend.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Dan, you need to do some more quiet time video's I have really missed them, especially the scary story ones. Thank you for sharing. x

I love the kubrickesque vibe. It came across really well and gave me chills, thanks Dan :3

[@bluzshadez]

Dan, I love your videos! My sister, who is in another part of the World would tell me the videos of yours which she had watched and I'd tell her that I've seen what she is talking about. No wonder there was just one car downtown, it was Christmas Eve 2018! People probably had gone to Churches, were having dinners with their families and opening presents. I love the video of you and your friend in a hotel on a winter night.

Another amazing video. You deserve so many more subscribers. Hang in there, you're truly one of a kind. ❤

[@loditx7706]

Were you in Arkansas or Texas? Back when that train station was built there would have been a "Colored" waiting area and a "White" area. Maybe that's why the smaller area was shut off from main lobby waiting area. Love the enormous big windows.

[@Tony-if3kf]

Awesome video. Amazing to see how many things air travel and “progress” rendered obsolete and now lie forgotten.

I have nothing new to add except that it was mesmerizing, I really enjoyed that. I once nearly went to Texarkana just to say I had been there but went the opposite way.

[@thatwitchychic170]

I've missed these more subdued and educational videos. Very atmospheric - especially the bit about the body butter. :D

[@PianoHead26]

You were about a hour and a half from me as I live in a city close to Tyler Texas. It has been a long time since I have been to Texarkana, it looks more abandoned than I remembered lol :) I also do remember seeing the vid that "The Proper People" did of the Grimm which I have wanted to go see in person. There use to be a big abandoned hotel in Marshall Texas called "Hotel Marshall" which was abandoned for 25+ years. Me my sister and friends explored that place back in the early 2000's before a lot of abandoned publications became popular on you tube now. The place has since been totally renovated, which is good instead of tearing it down. I don't have footage but I do have pictures that we took. Was a lot of fun :)

[@lindawillis1102]

Wow like a ghost town!

[@ianfrench1577]

Step 1: Paint the arched windows white. People will notice. Step 2: Await the local newspaper to report on the mystery repainting, and speculate as to how / why this has happened. They will use this as an opportunity to write an article on the building's history and mention it is abandoned. Step 3: Hopefully property developers might see this article and check it out, and possibly invest in order to put the building back in use

[@christinacope562]

Brilliant. Except what if there's no local newspaper anymore like my city which makes me sad. I liked reading the goofy stories about who came to visit and other oddities like police and other emergency runs the major newspapers don't cover.

[@Local1Laborer]

I feel much better after that. Everyone needs their quiet time.

[@ms_med]

Your quiet voice is mesmerizing. "olive oil or butter" had me giggling hysterically

[@buggsyspam]

I hear that there's beer in Texarkana

[@BollingHolt]

Wow. Imagine how beautiful that area would be in its glory days. At least the station is across the the police station perhaps preventing it from being destroyed. Maybe it still has some hope.

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

This was so relaxing to me, your voice is soothing..... thank you for Quiet Time!!! Please do more of these kind of videos also! Erin B. Hugs, and Happy new year!!! :)

[@carrueross2705]

Have you guys been to the Baker hotel in Mineral Wells, Tx? It has a great history and is beautiful and abandoned.

[@Milcom34]

Thanks Dan. What a Beautiful Building Rotting Away. I would State Why, But Some People Can't Handle the Truth. Take Care.

[@kgbeezr75]

Come on Jerry, you know some of us are habitual bait-takers, we simply can't resist. Lay it on us! Go for it!

[@TheSafeSquad]

It’s because Texarkana cares more about making money off of the incarcerated than making a beautiful city for its citizens. Move the god damn prison away from downtown and more property owners will be willing to renovate.

[@amazingredkitty3605]

Wooo hooo! I've been waiting for some Quiet Time, one of my favorite series. We want more QT Dan. And for you Dan Bell fans that aren't on Pateron you're missing it, get off you ass and on Dan's Pateron.
