STOBE THE HOBO-INTRODUCTION TO PALM BEACH

I miss this guy.

[@jayace9195]

same here buddy same here

[@JC-Beefcake]

He was an amazing character for sure. More interesting than anything on television for sure.

[@Kyle-iz2le]

Aw man Stobe, you were such a treasure. Those rich Palm Beachers money may buy them most things but it cannot buy them the heart of gold you have. Plus that $2.99 Publix chicken meal! ! A Thigh, a drumstick, potatoes and gravy, mac n cheese! Hell yeah! Goes to show you don't need much money. Thanks for the inspiration STOBE!

[@Dozier133192]

Yoooo!! The coolest dude! We met him near the yacht club. We asked him what he was filming and he told us he trainhopped from city to city and always filmed everything. We thought he was lying, but finding this video absolutely proved it. RIP Dude! Wow

[@terrysmith7076]

Weeks after you are gone I still really enjoy your look on life your documentary on all the different states & towns you visit. I wish I could have met you Stobe. R.I.P BROTHER Dallas Ga...

Cant believe it was 4 years ago, just remembered his channel and decided to re watch some of his videos

RIP Stobe, gone but not forgotten.

This put a smile on my face immediate! The music playing also put another smile on my dial. Made my day far better. RIP buddy

[@davidollerhead]

Those dividers are called groynes Stobe, they try to minimise longshore drift where the sand gets moved along the beach by the waves hitting it at an angle. As always, love the video and an insight into your adventures!

I wish I knew about Stobe the Hobo back in 2017 so I could have met him and given him rides around WPB. To know he was in my back yard and now he's gone is just crazy. RIP my friend!!!!!!

[@essentialgaming6262]

such a treat to watch this video, because I've pretty much seen them all besides this one. Wish you were here to enjoy this warm sunny weather Jim, RIP

[@123zc]

Hey, my hometown! Well, close by, you probably passed through it on the tri-rail. Speaking for Palm Beach County, there's very few sidewalks in general. People don't walk because it's usually prohibitively hot & humid. No one walks, so everyone drives, so no sidewalks. Glad you got to get some publix chicken. One of the few things I look forward to in that state.

[@nutt1674]

Publix RULES! Love that store.

His choice of intro music ? "The Girl From Ipanema", lol. That little ditty won the Grammy Award in 1964. Yes, the same year that the British Invasion happened the world 'round (Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Animals, ect.) & that jokey little melody was crowned the best song of the year !?! Way to go, ol' Stobe ! Lol- I'm sure he was well aware of the juxtaposition of that song being crowned versus what the entire planet was turning to, music wise, one teenager at a time....😎

[@patrickrasmussen2666]

Hey Stobe. I live in Denver (native), and started following you here after seeing "Attack of the Stobe Hobo" on PBS years back. Was wondering if you'd like to meet up for drinks and or a meal some time, on me, in exchange for a copy of the DVD. I don't drink often and prefer dives in the NW Denver Highlands area when I do, but I'd be willing to meet you wherever you desire. Big fan of your work. Hope people are contributing.

[@patrickrasmussen2666]

I'll add that I'm a (former) musician who is willing to contribute music to you for any future vids you put out and would be happy to sign any disclosure agreement (or just shake on it) cause it would be my honor to have my music play on your show. watched every single episode.

[@hobestobe]

i will be around in 2 weeks for a few days and that seems reasonable. I will be near the highlands too

[@patrickrasmussen2666]

right on! not sure if there is a direct message system in place for youtube, but if you want you can message me on facebook (Patrick Rasmussen Denver Co) and I'll give you my phone number to text me when you are in town. I look forward to tipping a few back with you.

Lunch looked good!

[@saragunslinger7616]

Nibbling on grungy spongecake, Watching the train take, All of those hobos covered in oil. Strumming my 88 string, When I'm not catching, Smell that lunch meat it's beginning to spoil. Wasting away again in Mar-a-Lago-ville, Searching for a sidewalk in someone's lost shoes. Some people claim you can't score an ice cream and change, But you can say hi to a goose. I don't know the reason, Climbed into grain cars all season, With nothing to show but this brand new video. But it's a real beauty, If you send me some booty, I'll raise this beer in honor of you. Wasting away again in Palm Beach Florida, Searching for a double fault. Some people claim you shouldn't pass stopped traffic going your way, Someone might be trying to cross. I blew out my flip-flop, Running from a cop, Lost my things had to greyhound back home. But there's goose in the blender, Here's to the goose I remember, I'll see you again when I make a million or two. Wasting away again in Mar-a-Lago-ville, Never found a sidewalk in this swamp. Some people claim that that's Rush Limbaugh's estate, Where the fish jump off the continental shelf. Yes some people claim Kim Jong Un's sending the big one our way, At least I'll know how to catch out.

Stobe plays opening chords to "Hail to the Chief". Surprised myself there weren't more cops patrolling the neighborhood. In some of these exclusive communities the cops are de facto security force, stopping people that seem out of place (yeah, probably anyone on foot) & asking them what their business is in being there.

Hi

[@fasteddylove876]

Many of these up-scale communities are built they way they are on purpose. No sidewalks because they don't want people walking around, (snooping around in their minds.) Other cities that come to mind...Vail, Colorado has that don't bother coming here unless you have business & a place to stay vibe. At least that was the way I remember Vail some 35 years ago. Carmel, Ca., they might want that tourist dollar but don't stick around too long, mucking up the place.

[@tomjones2202]

I recently discovered Stobe's channel and I could NOT believe he had been killed,,,,What a true icon he was. I will continue to watch his videos. This one is special to me because I work for Publix.
