[@TheDailyWoo]

Instagram- AdamTheWooATW A fun day hanging out with KZbin/CarolinaTony . Much appreciated him taking the wheel and driving around for this one . Go tell him I said hello

[@tammyw1873]

loved seeing you meet up with Carolina Tony

[@traceyelliott2902]

Love when you two team up! Y'all should drive on down to York SC soon!!

[@motoshep]

I really enjoy the videos when you're hanging out with Tony. He seems like such a down-to-earth feller and you and him mixed together very well. You don't over talk each other you guys are like a team. Great job

[@SethAnohn]

This is a lovely room of death!

[@JNC1973]

Thank You for visiting North Carolina. That'll be $10 Dollars !!

[@TerraLynn-nk9eq]

Mooresville used to be known as “Race City USA” many NASCAR teams have their race shops there. The shops used to be open to the public, but many have not reopened since Covid.

[@DaRossman]

The newer murals are awesome, they show how they were back in their hayday. But I think I like the faded ones the best because they are a monument of an era gone by. Great vlog Adam! Safe Travels!

[@BanazirGalpsi1968]

Coke adds life...

[@adventuresintvland]

Looked like a fun day. Glad to see Carolina Tony hanging out with you again. Thank you for introducing us to him several weeks ago. Loved all the different murals and water towers. Also, that What-a-Burger looked so yummy!

[@helgabullabong]

Really enjoying these small town tours. So many murals, neon signs, vintage advertisements. The nerd in me is happy!

[@annegallagher4005]

I was smiling because of the 7 to 8 guys watching their companions putting the transformator up, 7 people standing around talking to eachother from the same company... that would not happen in my country lol Thank you for that!

[@michaelterrell]

They work as a team, for safety reasons. The one in front of my home was replaced last year. It had been there since 1964, and contained PCBs, which required special handling to ensure the contaminated oil didn't spill as it was removed. Then, it went into a very thick plastic bag that was filled with adsorbent to contain any leaks. It was so old that they no longer rebuild that small style. It was to be decontaminated and recycled. R.I.P., old Pole Pig!

[@prestoni]

No unions then?

[@LadyDragonsblood]

There was a place called WhataBurger across from the college I went to. They were priced for the student. A giant hamburger and half pound bag of fries was $4. A GIANT milkshake of any flavor was $2. It was a great place! It also had no affiliation with the Texas chain.

[@j.daniel6516]

Arkansas Tech!

[@LadyDragonsblood]

@@j.daniel6516 OMG YES!!!!!!

[@kevinconaway1727]

I have to be honest I'm amazed there is so much vintage, murals and old timey things still around to enjoy, it's a good thing though they haven't been guess what I'm gonna say "erased from existence" Thankyou Adam and Tony

[@Christian-vq8rd]

Good to see people going to places outside Charlotte. NC is SO different outside of the big cities.

[@muthergoose4084]

I so enjoy this trip more than any other disney video. Great job Adam!

[@craigb7967]

As a Brit I am fascinated by old Americana. There is just an over whelming amount to see. Another great video Adam.

[@rhondaz356]

You cannot beat the attractions, especially from days gone by, in these small towns. Those murals are just amazing. OOPS, $10... It's okay to "cheat" every once in awhile, and get some good, old fried foods. That way you're satisfied, and can move forward. You guys were cool together, Adam. safe travels 🤠👏🍟🍔🥤

[@Elhastezy888]

Really DOES set the day right by starting it with soOo much fun, adventure & good will when one chooses the Woo, BtF & friends 🌊🐬 Love it! you never disappoint, so glad we have you!

[@shirleywheeler4473]

Thank you Adam the web for showing these long and forgotten towns that people bypass on the superhighway

[@sarakeith5480]

Happy to see Tony again!! This was such a fun adventure!! I am enjoying Tony's channel!! Thank you Adam!!

[@JPFalcononor]

Well, at a reasonably charged parking ticket of $10, it was no worse than paying upfront at the garage.

[@katiebradley2173]

You should come to Boone, NC while you're in the Carolinas. Loving these NC videos so much.

[@cjdesign5700]

Good eye on the vacant theatre Adam...it was the "Grove", opened in 1938, closed in 1955.

[@Dads1978]

Having grown up on What-A-Burger #13 in the town of Mount Pleasant that is still around, I hope you tried the Witchdoctor drink Adam. It’s one of a kind drink from WAB and will have you craving it again later on down the road.

[@ShelleeGraham]

Lovely time here in smaller towns of North Carolina. Enjoyed this one. I’m so glad you appreciate authentic vintage signs and architecture. As you traverse these areas, your viewers will take stock of their own areas and perhaps be inspired to travel and document them. We never know when a sign, structure or town will be gone. Be Inspired - Enjoy them now.

[@mikebutler3846]

Love the Concord “What-A-Burger! It’s a small chain in that area…Mooresville has one. Haven’t been there for a few years…and I see now that you mentioned this info! 😄

[@lynnelovett8999]

Loving your backroad adventures. Especially liked the old Coca Cola murals and so forth. Love the old theater and still showing movies...cool ! Looked like a great hamburger...What-A-Burger. Sorry about your parking ticket. Be safe and well Mr. Adam. God's speed.

[@The_Cultural_Historian_DrRGST]

Love it when you and the locals interact. . .

[@joybose7004]

Thank you for the adventures Adam...Safe travels.

[@hectoribarra4466]

Carolina Tony's little inputs had me rolling this guy is hilarious lol.

[@PickledPretzels]

Loving all the old murals in this vlog! So many of them to see! Thanks for showing them to us!

[@bridgetchattle3801]

Another great vlog. Thank you for taking us around these small town.

[@Bemfactor98]

Another great video Adam. Thanks a lot for all these years of great content and entertainment. You're one of a kind and we love you buddy!

[@b3877896]

Another fantastic VLOG Adam and Tony. THANKS!!!

[@danettebumgarner5701]

I am from Mooresville, NC. Dude, you missed so much in Mooresville. The historic cotton-mill (now an antique mall and eating establishments), NASCAR teams, NASCAR support systems, international electronics company, an original hardware store that is still in operation, Veteran coffee house, in-door go cart racing (former textile facility), huge out-door go cart facility, exotic animal ranch, etc. You should spend a day in Mooresville.

[@crush41gb]

Yes! Turner's Hardware, The old Superba factory now go cart track, Lazy 5 and the Days of Thunder barn and Brat Pitt house/Harris Bros. Farm and more! I tried to message him when he put it out on Instagram but, I don't think he sees those and it's the only way other than her to try. You can't leave comments on his pics and the Facebook group I'm not sure he sees either?

[@voyager0156]

Glad to see parts of Concord I haven't seen yet! This is a delightful vlog Adam! I do enjoy the small towns and bits of history that go with 'em! Carolina Tony is great too! Thank you

[@terriseaton3049]

Love small town life. My joy is visiting a small town on a Sat. day trip. You always do fun things at a fun pace.

[@Enakjen]

Omg , That theater was amazing!! I love the old ticket booth and marquee!! Such amazing history! Thanks for taking us along!! While I’m stuck at work lol , I’m a little envious

[@brianb2837]

Hey Adam! What’s really cool about your trip is all these neat small towns you’ve been hitting. Have a great day and stay safe!

[@franceinegelven677]

Thank you fr all u do. U bring me peace when I’m not doing so well. This is what I liked to do. Ur conversations r great

[@tillitrueheart971]

👋👋 great vlog!! Love that you visit these small towns. Towns that most people have never heard of but that are so interesting and unique!

[@theathjr]

“Pigeon Poop is Pretty Pertaculous” NAILED IT

[@contessalouannec8064]

Wow Adam all those murals are wonderful. Great stream Interesting and educational.

[@eye-styleoptical8705]

fun video!!! love seeing all these sites and history.

[@toddventure]

Awesome coverage Adam! Great video my friend. Love What A Burger in Mooresville.

[@brendakrieger7000]

Always great to see you and Carolina Tony exploring together💕 Had Doobie Brothers " China Grove" stuck in my head most of the episode. I know it's the wrong one, but still...🎶🎶

[@dhonbarger]

I was just at the What-A -Burger #2 picking up lunch 20 minutes ago. Sitting here eating my Ranch Burger, fries, and drinking my cherry lemon Sundrop and this video pops up in my recommended. Welcome to my home town.

[@TheDailyWoo]

That’s awesome!

[@kathyjordan9539]

Love your videos keep them coming your amazing

[@trishagail353]

The Gem Theatre has the best popcorn!! What an experience to see a movie there!! Hope you get to swing through Lexington, we are just up the road. Interesting fact: a couple of locally owned restaurants in Lexington have a what-a-burger listed on the menu. Lol. Enjoyed the video!!!!❤️

[@TheDailyWoo]

It looked like a great place . Very old school

[@roscoerubee4972]

Speedy’s in Lexington!!!🐷🐷🐷

[@dianapearson1771]

Enjoyed cruising around with you fellas today! Nice area!!

[@garybryant1260]

Another outstanding video. Good job Adam.

[@RetroMax85]

Enjoyed Carolina Tony...and I'm now subbed to his channel. Always enjoy your videos especially with your parents. They are great people! Love the tours of your family history with them...

[@davie941]

hi adam and carolina tony , another cool explore , well done guys and thank you 😊

[@gregggoss2210]

Really cool episode. Love those little southern towns.

[@timandtammytime]

At 13:07 that is Ballard's Obelisk Flour on the far left. We saw one of those for the first time last week in Sasser, Georgia. A viewer commented that the company was started in Kentucky in 1880 and later bought by Pillsbury in 1951. I had never heard of Ballard's and now to see a mural advert twice in less than two weeks, so cool!

[@maggieanderson3778]

Thank you for showing off the Kannaplos area, Adam. I remember when Dale died in 2001 we drove up from SC to DEI (Dale Earnhart Incorporated). So sad.

[@jackhui2812]

Hey Carolina Tony is back! Good to see you 2 together again. Enjoyed the video both of you!

[@prissilou]

Dude, you have the best job ever! Love these videos. My momma was born and raised not too far from here.

[@iancameron9646]

Oh Mr. MacWoo you've done it again, another fine vlog of small town USA. Thanks

[@TheWriteStuffWC]

I look forward to your daily adventures! Great work!!!

[@guynethdailey1759]

The Man! Dale Earnhardt. This February 18th he will be gone 21 years. Racing was never the same. I was never able to watch again and I tried. RIP Intimidator!

[@Jilipollo]

I really love your videos and see all those old towns and atmosphere

[@kevinconaway1727]

I have to agree Adam that was a very neat effect, in fact it was so neat i watched it a couple of times 😊

[@candarianpumpkin]

That's a wonderful classic movie house (7:40). If I were traveling the country, I'd have to watch a movie at every fully operational vintage cinema I came across. Oh, that would be a good road trip.

[@littlesthobo182]

That would make for a pretty interesting road trip. I'd love that.

[@optimified]

i grew up and still live in a small town,i love these videos,you really can't beat a small town

[@MrDOUG575]

Thank you Adam and Tony for taking us with you

[@ultrafunky5745]

While you’re in North Carolina come up 85 and visit Lexington, best Western Style BBQ you’ll find in the piedmont. Thanks for showing off our state!

[@FloridaFreaks]

I lived in NC for a few years. Great video my friend! Keep ‘em comin’! 🤘👍🏻

[@EpicKill55]

So cool to see you in my area after all these years of watching you!

[@SmokiesPlus]

I am starving after the burger shot. I've always loved Carolina Tony. He's as much of a small town staple as any of the places you visited.

[@brittanydiaz5465]

Enjoyed your guest Carolina Tony. I am going to have to try that what a burger at some point

[@arlenenash4437]

What a great video. Thanks for sharing

[@karenp1629]

Thanks for the awesome videos. Hope you to come eastern NC.

[@nicolequimby7499]

I'm hoping for the same 😆 I'd be like a fainting goat if I came across Adam filming

[@adambolin856]

Adam- check out the small town called Love Valley. It looks like an old western town. The only way to drive is by horse through the downtown. Population Is less than a hundred people.

[@Enakjen]

Where’s it located??

[@travelingwithrick]

@@Enakjen North of Statesville on 115.

[@chrisreader]

That's another cool place and they once had a Woodstock sized music festival there the owner created for his daughter's birthday. It's quite the story.

[@connieblack5276]

I enjoyed it, thanks for taking me along.

[@b-mansuniverse8715]

HOLY COW! My favorite KZbinr begins and ends this video in my home town, just up the road from my house! Wish I would have seen you, given you the Grand Tour!

[@mr_jake.y8348]

Good video Mr the Woo. They get better and better every day.

[@jeremyl]

I definitely didn’t think I’d see Concord in today’s video! It’s such a great place. It would be amazing to see you here in Greenville SC sometime too. Really loving the new direction of the channel. Keep it up!

[@MikeAbe100]

I totally love my racing, especially NASCAR, thanks for looking around NC, I've been there so many times before!!!! Have a great day Adam!!!!

[@rodneyss19]

So cool to see you and Tony touring our town. Landis and China Grove are both great places to call home.

[@ghostquickfire4558]

Found your channel after I had a flashback of watching you. You were my childhood man I want to thank you

[@danmacdonaldbooks4774]

Watch out, Adam, if you parked six hours, they might've sent you to the big house! I was surprised to see a payphone still around. How I remember using them back in the good ol' days. Good video as always. We don't get too many of these small towns.

[@timreed6718]

Thank you Adam!! Dale Earnhardt is my sports hero. Very cool seeing these places. Always wanted to go, so thank you for taking us there.

[@nancysmith7050]

I'm gonna be watching KZbin 24/7 after subscribing to all of your new co-hosts! Lol

[@bradstoner7226]

My dad and I use to stop at the What-A-Burger and eat there when I was a boy many years ago. It was almost a tradition to stop there when in the Concord area. We also use to eat at other local burger establishments such as "The Burger Shack" and "Dixie Burger" both still in business. Adam, there is another little restaurant that has been around for almost a century that operates out of an original country store called "Leflers" located in the little community of PeeDee in Montgomery Co., NC. They have great burgers and bar-b-cue and they use to give you a soda drink in the old glass bottles in lieu of a cup. The original general store is attached and has displays of old stuff, an old wood stove and basic supplies just like it did many years ago. Its a step back in time for sure and has great food! Its good to see these old traditional places still surviving today. They are much better than McDonalds, Burger King, etc. and supporting them helps the local community.

[@missmable6015]

I haven't had a Whataburger in years. I live in North Carolina, our Whataburger closed down back in the 70's in Belmont NC. I used to love them burgers so much !!!! 🍔❤️

[@davidlewis3814]

Good morning thanks for the adventure.

[@MarkFaust]

This was awesome, but I LOVED the airbnb arcade video of Scott Leftwich. That left me floored and wanting to go a thousand miles to visit.

[@carmenhoward1725]

You were in our neighborhood! My husband and I grew up in Kannapolis and live in Concord. My brother lives in Rhode Island now and he SO misses What-A-Burger. Really enjoyed the video from out of town point of view. Enjoying this series! Thanks Adam

[@crazydrummerofdoom]

Man that theater!! Awesomeness on the nostalgia meter!

[@magiccheeseball]

These small towns are great my favorite thing is the old movie theaters!

[@loveswayright]

Loved it. Nice Ride Sirs. 🍔❣️😇👍🙏😎

[@gregkester9075]

Adam The woo. I have been watching you since Christmas break, and I'm really enjoying your videos!! I have noticed that you walk by fire hydrants, just a tip. Every hydrant is stamped with the year it was made. Something to look at, they are part of a towns history. Keep up the great work👍

[@sherrydunn4003]

I'm really enjoying your videos 😊😊🙂😊🙂

[@edmccormick8024]

Great video love it stay safe gentlemen

[@bellknapej]

Carolina Tony seems like a real rad dude to be traveling with. This N.C. series is awesome

[@nadiaborzacchini6858]

I love these videos keep up the good work and you look wonderful Adam

[@beckyyoung725]

I thought it was a snake but it was a stick! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you crack me up Adam, you and your random statements!

[@heelgrad90]

Nice. We live in Mooresville. Still need to get to Whataburger. Thanks for the visit.

[@DannyWalker247]

They like those old Coke murals up in North Carolina. In my home town Kings Mountain they have a series of historical murals that depict the history of the area. Days Of Thunder was filmed in Daytona Beach. Scenes from the Elvis movie Speedway were shot at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Thank you Adam and Tony. Great video.

[@kathydearing4332]

Another great vlog! You are in my neck of the woods! You only touched 1/3 of the history in this area!

[@NoEdits704]

Glad to see you made it to Mooresville!

[@sherimcdaniel3491]

I’m really enjoying this trek you’re on, Adam! I’ve come to love (and look for) the old CocaCola signage you manage to find as well. The What-a-burger seemed just a bit too small. They need to either buy smaller buns or make the burgers larger. It’s always sad when I lift the top bun and see a gap of ANY size between burger edge and bun edge. This one had quite a difference, sadly. I hope the flavor made up for it? (I must say you weren’t your usual delighted self when you took that first bite.). But, let’s all help to keep the local businesses going!! And Adam gets a parking ticket?? Say it ain’t so! That same thing happened to me in Maui. We were THREE MINUTES past time-up on the meter and the attendant must’ve been hiding behind a pillar!! Yet one way to keep the accounts full for them over there. But that’s ok - the beauty there was worth every cent! Looking forward to the next vlog and am off to check it out now! Be well, my friend and stay safe. ❤️ Really liked Carolina Tony and subscribed to his channel to do some binging! He’s got a great and easy way about him.

[@annahatfield4129]

I actually grew up in China Grove! It was amazing seeing you go there!

[@matthewfarmer6830]

This is great the coke cola retro/vintage painted on the wall of a business so cool, and your friend that's having a 15 mins of fame with you Adam he's awesome, someone to talk to. Thanks for sharing. He be your supporting actor lol
