Florida Roadside Stuff March 2023
with World Of Micah

[@CarterNLee]

Thanks for stopping by! We use Smithfield hotdogs (since 1960 formerly John Morrel hotdogs until they were bought out) we make all of our chili in house as well. Your video made our day. Thanks a bunch - The Lee family!

[@ellensmith111]

Loved that you responded to Adam, will be sure to try you out.

[@TheDailyWoo]

It was awesome ! I’ll stop off again next time I’m nearby

[@cgargano79]

That dinosaur auto mechanic in Spring Hill, was a Sinclair Gas Station once upon a time. This is my neck of the woods. Great job adam.

[@brianpavek4228]

Adam + Micah always = a good, interesting episode

[@AmericanConstellation]

This is the Florida that I grew up with. I was born in Tampa in 1958. I traveled all over Florida. I miss this type of old Florida lifestyle.

[@Flawampuscat]

Yeah, Florida B.D. (Before Disney).

[@AmericanConstellation]

@@Flawampuscat Disney sucks!

[@midnightrunner684]

I remember the Boatyard Village back in the early 1980's over by the Coast Guard Station in Clearwater back then .was a Hopping place .gone now

[@AmericanConstellation]

@@midnightrunner684 I went there all the time. That 94th or whatever aerostation restaurant. Was nice.

[@deborahrowland4264]

American Constellation. I can imagine what it was like. Definitely not like it is today

[@redrooster1908]

My Dad was king of the cool road side stop on family car trips. Fun stuff😊

[@Corgis175]

Roadside attractions are always fun.

[@divaofdecobling8040]

The owners of the dinosaur auto helped with a new muffler system when my original was dragging and sparking on the road. I had my 3 daughters with me and its was pouring rain. They replaced it for free. It was mothers day weekend of 2004.

[@lizpunzalan5823]

I really like the historic charm of brooksville. My parents moved their about 29 years ago. And I always enjoy my visits.

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Nothing better than roadside oddities

[@3rdworldgarage450]

I simply LOVE Brooksville FL! I go there often as an interesting place to drive around.

[@DisAmy33]

Man! I live about 10mi from Dade City & I was through there yesterday! If I would’ve seen you guys standing by the muffler man, I probably would’ve ran off the road 😆👏❤️🔧 He’s been blown down and damaged in quite a few hurricanes, but he always comes back better than ever!

[@matthewfarmer2520]

I'm not from Florida but what you said cracked me up 😊 but anyway the muffler guy is a real trooper for staying in business over the years, threw hurricane and strong winds.

[@TheDailyWoo]

It was cool to see one out that way

[@mikedelgado5901]

I could be wrong but I swear I have seen you comment on Kyle Pallos videos.

[@DisAmy33]

@@mikedelgado5901 oh prob! I’m localish to the parks, gi often & follow several vloggers - providing encouragement & appreciation!

[@melinda_coffee_nerd]

Me too! We have a muffler man in Zephyrhills as well. He’s been pretty beat up too.

[@frankloreto8990]

This is awesome!! I live in brooksville and have been following you for a while! Pretty cool to see you make it to the area!!

[@juliebyerly9412]

Love when you visit these kinds of places. Very entertaining!

[@pamelanadolski4877]

Adam my husband and I watch you DAILY. We love your content. But this time you hit HOME literally as I live in the Brooksville/Spring Hill area. It was so cool watching. You should come back some time for the Mermaid Show and springs boat ride. You found some Americana though that makes us a little unique. I was in Orlando lol when you were filming in Spring Hill. Glad you found Coney Island tasty. We frequent there. And the owner owns several Florida native foods (southern cooking) restaurants in the area as well.

[@travelingwithrick]

You two should do a kayak paddle down the Weeki Wachee river from the mermaid area( there's a kayak/canoe rental place near there) to Rogers Park. You wont be disappointed.

[@melinda_coffee_nerd]

Great video. There’s another Coney Island Hot Dog place & also a muffler man in Zephyrhills. There’s also a place in Zephyrhills called SkyDive City. People supposedly come from all over the world to jump out of perfectly good airplanes.

[@JToThE4]

The one in Brooksville is better. 😂

[@Flawampuscat]

I remember stopping at that old Sinclair station with the family when I was a kid. Brought good memories of the “old days”. Glad that building wasn’t destroyed. Thanks Adam!

[@tammymoore6009]

I love it when you and Micah get together and explore the roadside attractions! Y’all always find the best stuff! Thanks for making my Sunday afternoon great!

[@candarianpumpkin]

That (21:29) was so unexpected, haha! Elvis, hotdogs, pink dinosaur, naughty pun- today's vlog had everything! :)

[@75djtrae]

Awesome tour! I work at the local radio station in Downtown Brooksville WWJB 103.9 The Boot. That was Nature Coast Bike Fest going on by the courthouse there in Downtown Brooksville :) I was set up there DJing! Stop by the radio station when your in town again! I'm a huge fan man, keep up the AWESOME blogs!

[@dawnd6884]

Good morning. Love the videos, especially travels throughout FL

[@keithmabe6015]

Thank you Adam...

[@Bella1584]

Wow! You were about 30 miles north of me yesterday when you were in Spring Hill! We are in Tarpon Springs. You should come here and see the sponge docks!

[@BennyTygohome]

I saw Repo Man on hbo or showtime in the 80s as a kid. I've never watched it again, but i remember it was weird. I only remember Emilio worked with Harry Stanton as repo men... Emilio was in a mini Mart, had a green car with something glowing in the trunk, and aliens.

[@mgarringerkcify]

love roadside places! The Coney website says John Morell hot dogs, they are steamed. the Coney sauce is meat no beans and it said it and the chili with beans is scratch made. I love places like this, back in the day in Sherman Oaks I lived walking distance from the Weiner factory. Still my favorite. Safe travels!

[@monkeymhn7]

Loved in Brownsville until 1977 and visited cony island many times. It has changed since than. Originally the dining room was a screened porch.

[@AimlessAdventuresVlog]

Glad you guys got to explore my neck of the gulf coast. We still have some pretty cool OG Florida in these parts. Those fantastic highway 19 dinos always make me smile!

[@Phillyguy316]

Brooksville is also where the 1974 cult classic "Deathdream" was filmed. It was directed by Bob Clark best known for "Black Christmas" and "Porky's. Tampa Jay did a really good job covering the filming spots in his video a few months back.

[@xMsPlague]

This was a cool one, Adam! I’d love to see you make your way all around Florida & maybe even down the both coast. Lots of neat things peppered throughout the state! 👍🏻

[@jasondavidstapleton8337]

i always put ketchup on my hot dogs and my fries

[@OGPapiFresc]

Nice to see you come by my neck of the woods Adam, I've lived in Spring Hill/Hernando County for about 18 years now. Been to Boyetts a bunch times. I'm shocked you didn't check out the Mermaid Show at Buc bay as that's a pretty popular/decently known place in Hernando County.

[@sicooper4230]

I love all these off road out of the way places and i'm amazed so many have survived. A staple diet of long journeys in the 50's.. 'Alien plutonium rock!' 'Americas smallest all dancing railway!' 'Georgias steam powered stuffed cow!' Gotta love it.

[@mxpxguy79]

Man, somehow I missed you, you were right in my neck of the woods, I was going to go to downtown Brooksvegas (Brooksville) Saturday, but our weather reports were calling for 90% rain. If you ever make it to Brooksville again hit me up, i can show you some other gems around town. safe travels

[@Sherib1982]

Such a great vid! I’m surprised you didn’t visit Weeki Wachee though!

[@paranormalpineapple1928]

That is so cool that you were at the Brooksville train depot. We had a ghost investigation there last night.

[@OGPapiFresc]

Interesting. How did it go?

[@halemeister]

As I was watching, I was hoping you guys would see the headless brontosaurus just a little bit northeast of Brooksville. You visited several places that I've recently been to when I have visited from Illinois.

[@joshx022]

Check out the Hayward WI fishing museum. You won't be disappointed. Also if you do. Hit the candy shop in town. Yum.

[@RTBird2]

Thank you Adam for not focusing on the High School class pictures on the wall in Coney Island's back room. Not my greatest picture. LOL. Boyette Grove...Our family got asked to leave in 1980 after my brother and I crossed the "Do NOT cross" line in front of the monkey exhibit they had at the time. Great video.

[@teresaquappe2228]

Been up and down US 19 most of my life. Awesome things along that hyway.

[@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN]

LOVE the interior of the Coney Island drive inn. My type of place! Signs, signs, signs & just cool memorabilia thru out. 👍

[@TheDailyWoo]

It’s a cool little spot

[@BrewDub73]

You were closer to our neck of the woods! Fun to see you at some of the places we like to go!

[@brendakrieger7000]

Always fun to see you and World of Micah💕

[@johnnymoran180]

Today I have day 2 of work to doo,☹️ but first I SHALL join Adam the Woo!😎

[@deborahrowland4264]

Beautiful Brooksville, in the 1800

[@maryannrenzulli2426]

Love your Tours of Yesteryear Florida, Too Often Forgotten, and Places you locate we never even knew existed.. Unless you pick up a Tour Guide Book?? Thank You Again!!🐊🐍🐊

[@cynthiaquartel5481]

Come up to Crystal River sometime! Home of the manatee. Tom Petty wrote a song about our town. "Crystal River " Then go just North to Yankeetown where Elvis filmed the movie "Follow that dream" Then on your way home stop at the courthouse in Inverness where the courthouse scene was filmed.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I need to get over there sometime

[@carlavision6143]

Adam, as always really enjoyed your awesome video! Cool old classic cars and pink dinosaur and that cool place you and World of Micah ate at. Looking forward to your next vlog.

[@garfixit]

I love brooksville lots of history

[@markreardon3472]

Lucky to catch the notification. Enjoy all of the attractions and fun with other creators. Two Thumbz 👍👍

[@Badbones8983]

Oh man I live there!!! I wish I had the chance to finally meet you

[@themeparkpastor]

Wow! I live just outside of Brooksville in Ridge Manor! Great vlog!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Nice ! It’s a neat little area, we passed by there

[@mustangcindy1303]

I love me some Coney Island Drive-In sauerkraut dog. 🌭😋I’ve been to that location numerous times. Used to frequent the one in Zephyrhills but that one closed. Now I know where the one in Wildwood is so I will have a place to go when I go places up 75. ~~ if I ever get a house again all of that kinda decor that they have in there I would love to have in and around a house. I am one of those weird people who would love to have a house with advertisement signs all over the outside of it and old gas pumps in the yard.

[@runsolomon]

Country Depot used to be the best pawn shop in town I miss it always had awesome stuff

[@msjenjenp]

A lot of people from Brooksville here. I live 5 minutes from Coney Island and I've never seen half the things you showed today.

[@NeonVacation]

Maybe the mascot was putting the Ketchup on itself so it WOULDN'T get eaten??🌭

[@davie941]

hello Adam and Micah , very cool and interesting video , i love the roadside stuff , i wonder if that house saw the station in use , hot dogs looked very nice , very cool vintage cars , really well done and thank you 😊

[@Sam-02024]

The dogs and fries at Coney Island Drive-Inn look so good!!

[@Blueskys1972]

I've never seen a squirrel with a Reese's candy wrapper like that, that is classic 😂 poor thing probably smelled the peanuts, but there was nothing in it 😢 our squirrels get peanuts everyday ❤ very cool video, love the old western town vibe!

[@robertjean659]

Always great vid when looking at roadside attractions 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍

[@kayleigh354]

Adam it really cracks me up that you always see squirrels eating really strange things. I have totally lost count but this time takes the cake. Oh better not say that too loud it might take a cake. lol

[@mikedelgado5901]

I live 30 seconds from Boyett's, spring Lake is such a great area

[@michaelgrow8630]

As much as I enjoy viewing several vloggers daily doubt I'd like to spend much time with them due to their overall knowledge of Just about everything.

[@cindylifestyleandmore]

What a fun day ! The Muriel picture on the wall nice art work! Roadside attraction are fun! Brooksville some historic history. Squirrel was sweet. Thank you for sharing your video😊

[@TheDailyWoo]

They are fun to find . Thanks for watching

[@midnightrunner684]

Lived in the Tampa Bay area most of my life ..Pinellas county then up to Citrus county ..I Miss it down there .Just couldn't afford to live down there anymore

[@runsolomon]

I've been in Florida for over 30 years Brooksville for over 20 and I did not know about Brooksville Lanes I've been going to Mariner and spring Hill which suck thanks for the tip I'm going to check it out next time maybe they should advertise better I can't believe I didn't know they were there

[@smilingpolitely4100]

Good morning

[@bjornemccomb8262]

Just watched Jordan’s video at that same hot dog place….the old classic cars were interesting never know what you’ll come across taking the roads you do, so fascinating!

[@rogersmith3923]

I wish i knew that you were in the area I would have loved to come out and met you and told you about the area a lil more. And took you to the caves to explore

[@brendakrieger7000]

Appreciate you sharing your adventures Adam🥳💟💜

[@helgabullabong]

The world needs more auto centres like Harold's. Love it!

[@pattycake8272]

I love stuff like this

[@sirmalmsten1982]

BRAVEHEART moment: HOOOOOOLD! 😂

[@TheDailyWoo]

They were lining up

[@ginaliske32]

Come to Crystal River, which is close by. Home of the Manatees! ❤

[@loualiberti4781]

Love Adam and Roadside Oddities !!

[@mikemorrison377]

Adam, you should do an Elvis Follow that dream video and try and find the filming locations.

[@janicewright6375]

Yes, that hotdog looked like he was going to enjoy dealing with the consumption of himself! Hilarious🤣 love the spaceship!

[@cherylmartin-bp5gy]

Spring hill fl, is very nice place.

[@CCcastro336]

That was a fun video. I like all the different roadside attractions. Very cool and I’ll have to check out Micah’s page.

[@chardontimes8392]

Rode bikes through there and across Florida. Past highway 50. We also visited richloam store wildlife area. Never really checked the place out though. We went north on the withlacoochee trail towards citrus county dunnellon area. Then Tallahassee and Marianna then cut up too Dothan AL. Alabama no were near as bicycle friendly as Florida!

[@Victor-mc1sz]

The Batmobile ride reminds of the one that the Penguin rides in Batman Returns when he is controlling the real Batmobile. Regarding the Big Boy you saw, there is at least a 3rd version that I know of, which is a early version i believe. This one is shirtless and wears a 1 strap checkered overalls and is holding a burger with a bite taken out of it.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Thanks for all the info . It had a different look for sure

[@Victor-mc1sz]

@@TheDailyWoo No problem, i'm into old school diners. I would have wished that I have lived during the golden age of roadside diners as there are a few remaining. If you go to the Wikipedia page, they have the graphic of Big Boy mascot's evolution. The one you saw was created around 1951-52 by Frisch and there are 2 variants- blond hair and reddish blond hair.

[@weird_sin5909]

dudes! that house across the depot! seriously has serial killer vibes!! genuinely scary! can totall picture it in a horror movie. shame if its never used in one. dying to know what the inside looks like. awesome video dude.

Adam, I really enjoy videos when you and one of your friends are together videoing. We get a different perspective from both videos. That's cool.

[@dananderson3077]

Always enjoy the episodes Adam!

[@p.j.driton4528]

I know how much you love Elvis. The cartoon-painted crocodile you looked at on the side of the building in Brooksville (1:47) looked a lot like Elvis. Big black hair and sideburns. Maybe?

An emu - such an interesting concept art work - another fun filled blog

Holy💩🦇🧍‍♂️ Brooksville is my current home.

[@donnytucker]

Adam, you ever been to weeki wachee springs to see the mermaid show? I can't remember if you have or not.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I never have . One day I will

[@vacation_fun_makers]

I do ketchup and cheese on my dogs and gravy on my fries or poutine that is my fav way to have fries :)

[@jimmbo2]

Ketchup mustard krout relish... Preferably at a Giants game

[@vacation_fun_makers]

@@jimmbo2 I wish I liked relish and mustard etc but sadly I don't and my choice of venue the bell centre in MTL for a Canadiens game

Cincinnati here :) the Frisch's big boy is from the 60s or earlier. Its the red hair and slingshot in the back pocket. The only other one I've seen is in the Sign Museum in Cincinnati. Awesome place to visit :)

[@bonniekaye]

Loved the video! 🙂👍 I love ketchup, mustard and cheese on hot dogs! 😮

[@beimmik]

Adam! Come back to Mississippi & tour around the state. Check out the Shack Up Inn in the Mississippi Delta (you can stay in a grain bin)! Show all the folks the delicacy that is the Big One combo at Wards hamburgers. Come to the coast & go from Bay St. Louis to Ocean Springs. Would love to see you tour your home state (and mine)!!
