[@denisedarnell1641]

The lady has more energy than you Justin...you can tell she put alot of love into her store and wants to share her JOY everytime she gets a chance ..I just love her personality ❤

[@TrainerCTZ]

Big gimmicks and adderall is a fun combination!

[@krl10101]

It's not an act. I live in Tulsa and have meet Mary Beth late in the year when Buck Atom was installed. I think it all boils down to is when a person actually loves what they do. It's infectious.

[@TrainerCTZ]

@@krl10101 oh, I'm not complaining

[@tomday1318]

When does breath.

[@staceyc1630]

Mary Beth has such a happy vibe! How awesome to love what you do for a living.

[@landporte1593]

Mary Beth is proof that enthusiasm is contagious. So fun.

[@amykirk9365]

The City of Catoosa bought the Blue Whale and all the land surrounding it. They recently obtained a 6 Million dollar grant to do more improvements. We live 2 blocks from her and you should come at Christmas!!!

[@freedomdove]

Thanks for the information! 👍

[@TheChoochooboy99]

I was just there a week ago visiting family and stopped by there as I always do and noticed they demolished the old reptile house. That’s a good thing in my opinion as it was just so dilapidated.

I had the privilege of meeting Hugh's son (who lived in the camper out back) when I traveled 66 MANY years ago. He took my friend and me on a quick walk around the property and told us the stories. He even gave me some old postcards from "back in the day"! If I can find them, I'll send you some pictures of them. Thanks for allowing me to reminisce that amazing trip! Safe travels, Justin!

[@StressLessCamping]

MaryBeth is such an energetic joy and Route 66 is better for her being such a great part of it.

[@culturematters4157]

Thanks for sharing your father/son roadtrip with us, Justin!

[@tomday1318]

You and finally your son...did you make him? Ha he is so patient with all the details. Making him smile, priceless.

[@karenleemallonee684]

Justin, you do such a fantastic job, your passion for 66 really shines through! You can see it on your face & hear it in your voice! Summer of '24 ☀️

[@Dorelaxen]

I love Buck Atom's. Such a cool place. Mary Beth is great! Might have to make a trip to that area today. Lots of cool shops right there, too. Decopolis, Josey Records, and of course, Ike's chili. Fun fact. The Tulsa Expo main building was the largest clear span (meaning no internal columns or supports) building in the world, and is still one of the largest. I hit the flea market there regularly.

[@loravaloo55]

London is Awesome!!! I just love him. He reminds me of George. 😃

[@Corgis175]

Keep on 66 trekking, love it.

[@richspotts]

Golly. You're creating such memories for your son. I'm sure this trip is a real test. However, I'm confident when he's holding your hand when you're reaching the end of your road, he will be talking about this trip with a happy tear in his eye.

[@DougYeager-i8b]

I have finished reading the first 5 chapters of your book. I am completely surprised by your honesty. It took courage to write about your self like that. You have my respect and my subscription.

[@jparker59able]

Thank you, Mary Beth and Justin for mentioning Black Wallstreet. That's a huge part of Tulsa's history that should never be forgotten. The Coleman Theater in Miami, OK. is beautiful. I'd love to see the inside.

[@MusicalMiranda82]

I love living in Tulsa and I love what they've done to Route 66!

[@lizlocher3612]

Your friend Mary Beth is SUPER AWESOME DELUXE,!!! She is sooo energetic n supportive of community n fellow business people n sooo cool to be regenerating ROUTE 66 TULSA!!!!

[@rkstevenson5448]

Mary Beth is fantastic. I absolutely adore her.

[@lizciampa]

I think one of the first videos I saw of yours was at this blue whale. So cool!

[@davevan8864]

When your video came up in my feed, first thought was I did not need another person to follow and watch. But it was about Route 66 and having driven some of it as a kid, I watched. I enjoyed and subscribed. Then slowly I found that we share a number of common things. RT 66 was easy. But I love old buildings and road side 'stuff'. I have a health issue that slows me down at times but I work through it. My Grandpa drove a 1924 Mack truck on US Route 60 in West Virginia, check it out....not a road for wimps(Lewisburg to Charleston). Now I find out we have a Mustang tie. I have 5 in the family with my 66 Mustang GT350 the oldest.....and owned since 1975!! Thanks for sharing!

[@celticnelson]

Just wanted to say hello and tell you how much I enjoy your videos specially the Route 66 stuff and like your dad I had a 1970 red Boss 302 that I still miss to this day keep up the good work

[@beyourselfadventures]

Justin thank you for an amazing video. Route 66

[@timothywolleck7628]

Great video Justin. Thanks for stopping to take your picture with me yesterday at midsummer night scream. It made my day.

[@iKristin04]

I’m so glad you finally got to check out Road Fest! It gets cooler and cooler every year ☺️

[@kathyjordan9539]

Thank you and your son for all the tours it's been amazing ❤

[@jatdesign4495]

I know a bit of Tulsa as well. Mom sure Marybeth would do an awesome tour too. Love her efforts on Route 66 revival.

[@heathersnelson6555]

Holy crud, I had to take a nap after this video. She has so much great energy!

[@Chrisb8s]

I lived in Tulsa for 6 years. My 17 year old was born there. He’s an okie. Tulsa has so much fun I see and eat

[@Stingray4]

Great video. Love watching these. Keep up your great quality videos.

[@HilliardHits]

Tulsa is my hometown. Love seeing it highlighting in this video! Love the Golden Driller and the Blue Whale. I need to get back up there and see it all again!

[@black1985vette]

Really cool spots! We missed the 66 Fest this year. 😞 The one thing you should NOT miss in Tulsa is the amazing amount of neon they have. Time your trip to spend the night in Tulsa and start at the 66 Gateway on the east side and go all the way to the 66 Gateway on the west. We have done it multiple times and they keep adding more. With 2026 approaching I expect even more new installs. Keep up the fun videos. Another tip for travel in Oklahoma is to stop at Braum's Ice Cream which is all over the state. Best ever!

[@Vegas_Nights]

I went last year. It was fun and very informative.

[@Busadventures72]

You do such a great job of showing us America in your all your vlogs

[@timlittle841]

Mary Beth is awesome,would love to meet her,her personality is so enlightening

[@Rhys]

Great video! Loved seeing you experience Road Fest. I was there working the Oklahoma Route 66 Association booth and it's sometimes hard to see how others are enjoying the event. AAA has invested so much into it and there's else nothing like it! Also, ++++ on the Route 66 Experience. Just get out there and enjoy it, don't worry about the folks that try to say you can only travel the road one way or the other. It's an amazing way to experience America!

[@crystalgavaller2271]

Another amazing video Justin Scarred!!??❤️❤️❤️ Ty so much!!

[@okiecubsfan1961]

I wish I had known about the roadfest in Tulsa!! I live in okc/edmond and would have loved going to look at it. I put it on my calendar for next year. Oklahoma definitely has a lot to see. I'm going to take a road trip to Tulsa to see the stores with the muffler men statues. Glad you showed us those

[@lesleykahle5475]

Loved this. I am inspired now to drive Route 66.

[@McGriddle69]

It’s so cool to see someone so excited about my home state. I’ve never been to that area of Tulsa before I’m going to have to make the trip one day. Have you ever been to the Route 66 museum in Elk City, Ok? I grew up there and have fond memories hanging around the museum and outer area.

[@MusicalMiranda82]

Went to Meadow Gold Mack's the other day and another person was in there because of this video. It's an awesome store! Unfortunately Marybeth wasn't there but the other ladies there were super nice. I'll be going back. :-)

[@Fishiepwincess]

Wow I love Mary Beth 🤣 she has an exquisite vibe. I'd love to just see her explain her store forever

[@smkles]

Wonderful highlight of the day

[@stargroves14]

Justin..Last time we were here in 21..We met Blaine Davis and he told us his sister in law inherited the blue whale and sold to the city..Linda who worked there for years at the gift shop retired and the city forced Blaine off the property..So sad because he grew up there..He is a nice man..If you ever get a chance to meet him ask him about meeting Paul McCartney at the blue whale..Safe travels

[@fauguy23]

Hope you're feeling better, looks like your Internet is back up. Been enjoying the RT66 vids.

[@bryonyamada2620]

49:36 Him taking about seeing this in a book. Most of us saw this in the Intro of National Lampoon's Vacation. As this is seen in a Black and White photo that scrolls in the Opening credit song that shows a bunch of roadside attraction.

[@hoticehilda6296]

The real Route 66 was the friends we made along the way... I'm from Tulsa but have lived in the UK for several years. I've got a seven year old obsessed with Route 66, Buck Atom and the Blue Whale. We're getting ready to go back home for a few weeks and she is thrilled to get to see Stella. Her favorite toy is Jessie the cowgirl from Toy Story who always has to tag along when we see Buck (and now Stella!). Once we had to make Jessie her own space helmet out of plastic bowls. I think I'm gonna show the kiddo this video before our trip.

[@hoticehilda6296]

Oh yeah, a few years ago a British quiz show called QI had a question of the Blue Whale of Catoosa, but the host pronounced it "Blue Whale of Kar-too-zah" which makes me both laugh and cringe.

[@tplugnickel]

Awesome tour!!

[@birbsbirbsbirbs]

I’ve been waiting for this one.

[@jamies3283]

You mastered trans-location. One day you're in Tulsa and the next you're in Long Beach with AdamTheWoo at Midsummer scream. Respect!!

[@mikehughes4969]

Not going to lie, I'm a little bit in love with Mary Beth.

[@iKristin04]

She’s the absolute best 🥰

[@denisedarnell1641]

She is super adorable and shows her love for Route 66. She seems AMAZING ❤

[@DigitalMumbles]

Aw, that Mary Beth interview made me smile.

[@MaryPatricio-pi2se]

Nice to tour in that place we have mini shop.. mini restaurant I like it😊

[@matthewlindsey9344]

I hope you had a chance to stop at Talleys Good Food in Tulsa Ok on Rte 66. Amazing food with a good old fashioned diner feel.

[@oz2265]

Loved this, Justin! Love Tulsa! That was an epic “whoops.” 🤣

[@rebeccadeniston]

How fun is this?! My grandparents (dad's side) came from Kansas and we always used to fly into Tulsa when we'd visit my great-grandma in Columbus. They would have loved this store.

[@SoonerGirlTravels]

Tulsa. My former area. I would often visit Buck Atoms Curio Shop and the Blue Whale 🐳. I miss those areas. I go back and watch my own videos of those spots to reminisce. I always point out your brick while at Buck Atoms.

[@GlutenlessSinCity]

Justin Hensci, I wish you could have mentioned Tulsa (Tvlse) is the Muscogee Nation Res. And the name Tulsa made its way along the “Trail of Tears” as a form of Tallahassee. Mvto !!

[@ian_davidson]

Wow she’s amazing I love her! ❤

[@ian_davidson]

[@allenjarvis5335]

I have Celiac too. I've had pretty good luck ordering burgers minus the bun when gluten free is not an option. Thanks for this series. I love it!

She said Phantasmagoria??? I loved Phantasmagoria at the old Bell's Amusement Park! Wow, memories.

[@wadethomas6952]

Maybe when you come back the new theme park will be open up in Vinita Oklahoma

[@MikeLockheart]

Oklahoma has some rt 66 revitalization project set to finish in 2025 or 2026, where there spending millions and millions of dollars restoring a huge section of it that cuts through O.K.C. and Yukon, and out to El Reno I believe. I saw it on the local news and I live near O.K.C.

[@monange1980able]

The city owns the Whale property now. They are working on getting a Route 66 to make it a bigger attraction. Walking trails, a new visitor center, even a put put golf course. I can send you the video that they had created.

[@monange1980able]

Lol that tent laying over by the ARK was for the Catoosa Band Fireworks Stand.

I live in tulsa I graduated at east central high school. On route 66

[@TheChoochooboy99]

You have my sympathy. 😂 But seriously I have a ton of friends who graduated from East Central. I went to Disney Elementary and Foster Middle before my dad moved us to Indiana. I miss Tulsa and wish I had been able to graduate with my friends there.

[@dalemorison7918]

Maybe I'm just weird, or a little nuts or possibly a bit of both, which is something I've been told by various people off & on throughout the course of my life, but that figure of, "Stella Atom," you showed, it might only be my imagination, but I swear it looked like a younger, Angelica Huston, or at least that's kind of what I saw in it, anyway, again, probably Waaaaaay Off on it, but that was kind of my 1st impression of it.
