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.

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..

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.

[@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.

[@rosemaryangela1825]

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

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Yes... agreed!

[@misterhat5823]

I miss these videos.

[@ceenew2886]

Ditto..

[@rosemaryangela1825]

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

[@speedweed4970]

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

[@nejjk]

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

[@fixedgearfever69]

Union Station was partially restored in the late 1980’s.. They had a few proms and weddings there.

[@dondavis5633]

Multiply that beautiful old Union Station by a thousand, and that's roughly how many of these remarkable old train buildings remain throughout the US. Some are being restored to their former glory, and it's a wonderful thing to see, but for every one that's being brought back from the brink, there's ten or more that will slide off into a void of loss and sadness, because the few remaining people who used to frequent them have all but gone by now. And, jeez! What a bummer of a comment this is turning out to be! ;Sorry, Dan! I love these snippets of quiet time, and I always feel like I'm right there with you, exploring these places and feeling all those same feelings that you must be experiencing. Thank you for all of them, Dan; they're just amazing.

[@MrDan708]

In Reading, PA, there is an old train station at 7th & Franklin Sts. that was sitting disused since the early 80's when passenger-train service between Reading and Philadelphia ended. It recently re-opened as a brew-pub.

[@PicoAndSepulveda]

“I should’ve brought olive oil or butter.” 🤣

[@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.

[@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

[@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...

[@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.

[@jeanangel2104]

Just discovered you Dan last week, thanks you made me unproductive last week binge watching for 8 hrs.

[@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.

[@patigiddens1314]

I like these you've the most wonderful voice!!! Thanks Dan!!!

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

I agree Pati!

[@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.

[@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.

[@forestine_]

Wow, the ceiling at Union Station is gorgeous.

[@ironmaven1760]

My morning alarm went off right when this started to play...your soothing voice was perfect to wake up to-- What a beautiful building!! Thank you Dan💜

So happy when you post! Getting over a cold and this is just what I needed

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.

[@LauraStar127]

Oh yes I love these quiet time videos !! I've been binge watching all your content.. LOVE IT

[@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.

[@lisas5289]

I love the antique lighting ❤️thank you for the tour! What a cool building

[@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.

[@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.

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.

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.

[@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.
