Florida Roadside Attractions & Abandoned Places - Forgotten Haunted Jail & Storm Struck TOWN OF MAYO

[@TampaJay]

Merry Christmas! Thank you, everyone!

[@MikeCoon-yi4gz]

Not an attraction but a cool place. If you go left on 332 out side of Newberry. Same area. Cool old mine just at the edge of the road. If you see the sign that says HAILE it's close. Shear cliffs probably 60' high small lake at the base. Mill is near by.

[@amandanoelle8287]

Yesss, I love when Jay goes explorin’!! 😁

[@TampaJay]

thanks for always clicking

[@mikedoran4763]

Cool stuff as usual Jay. Thanks for taking us along.

[@lauriestull1077]

It's so cool how you see old buildings. Thanks for showing us. And merry christmas. 🎄

[@Steve_6251]

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, these are always some of my favorites to watch. I always try to imagine what these areas were once like. The mural, gas station and general store probably all have such great stories to tell!

[@rogertemple7193]

I really enjoy exploring these old abandoned places especially the old jail and seeing the nice scenery of Florida You, Cris, Bella and family have a Merry Christmas.🎄🕊️🐕🎀

[@roseanneweyrauch2886]

Thank you for bringing back the roadside attractions my favorite thing not so much of a horror person but I love these kind of shows ❤ Merry Christmas to you and Chris to Girl, was curious to see if one day you'll do a trip to mayport up there in Jacksonville very interesting little town I was born in Jacksonville I used to love to go to Mayport they used to have a ferry there that went across the river , if you're ever up that way would you do a show on it thank you😊

[@trish5556]

When I lived in Jax in the 1970's we went over to Mayport and took the ferry. I was not sure if it was still running.

[@deanagallatin6974]

​@@trish5556it's still there, the Mayport ferry. But this year it is closed for maintenance. Don't know if it has been reopened yet.

[@AHicks-yp8wq]

[@TampaJay]

Merry Christmas and happy new year thank you so much

[@Crossfirepyro2]

Man I miss Florida but I will be back merry Christmas Jay 🎄🎄🔥🔥

[@navycorpsmanveteran61]

I like old towns like this. Makes you wonder what life was like before it got like this. Probably all of the original residents have moved or passed on. Excellent video.

[@jillcreager1843]

Love Roadside Attractions and Abandoned Places. ... Merry Christmas Tampa Jay and Kris!!

[@TampaJay]

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too!

[@averybryant6997]

Glad to see you out and about in OooOold Florida..we still play Mayo out at Bronson High School in Levy county, to which I graduated from back in 92, our High school, has been playing their school for years. also as an aside that B&B breakfast was established in the same year as YELLOWSTONES spinoff series is set in, "1883", thought i'd throw that in for any fans here, like myself.

[@5thhorseman559]

Merry Christmas! Thank you for these videos, they take me back to my childhood.

[@maskedman1980]

Since you went through Trenton, Florida, it always reminds me of Sgt. Noel Ramirez and Deputy Taylor Lindsey. EOW 04/19/18. May they forever rest in peace 🇺🇸💙

[@petesnyder713]

Merry Christmas jay,love your channel in nj ...!!!

[@lisapratt166]

Merry Christmas 🎁 interesting video

[@pauline9242]

Always love to watch your roadside and abandoned attraction videos. Stay safe. Your videos are always appreciated and much enjoyed. Merry Christmas🎄

[@catmanflorida2839]

Great Vid. I used to own 23 acres since the 1970's, 5 miles south of town off 51. The park is the old water pumping station. There is still a usable water supply in the park, that many people, including myself would use to get our water, fresh, cold and clean. The park hosts a veteran camp affair there every year or used to anyhow. The park used to have some of the old sugar mill machines still there. I used to get gas at the old gas station on the corner of Fletcher on my way out to the property. At the bridge on 27, are several fresh water springs that are very popular. They pronounce the county as La- fayette. The girl in the court house will tell you so. lol

[@mountaing0y]

I enjoyed your video. I am still pretty new to Florida. Been here for about 3 years and sit at home all the time. I hope I can look at your videos and be inspired to explore and retrace some of your steps.

[@sarahmoller9716]

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES. This video has a little bit of a lot info. Really enjoyed it very much. I think that breezeway in the old cabins are called dog trots. They cooked on one side and lived on the other. Maybe a fan will tell if this is true. I can tell you who wrote Suwannee River was Stephen Foster. I came from Bardstown KY and that's where My Old Kentucky Home is located. This year it was honored again most Beautiful Town in USA. When you have a chance, drop by that old town that is so full of history and famous distilleries. Also has outdoor drama about Stephen Foster. Beautiful!!

[@SuzanneHastings-l4s]

We moved to Trenton FL a little over a year ago. Thank you for sharing this 🥰

[@TampaJay]

Thanks for watching. 😊 what a cool town and place to live!

[@yvonnecarnley6642]

Merry Christmas Tampa Jay and Chris the girl. Glad you are back for roadside attractions and Abandoned places. We love your picks.

[@mikeard9127]

[@sharonstover7337]

I LOVE these videos!! SO interesting!! Thank you for doing these! Would love to travel and see some of these places! Hope you and Cris have a wonderful Christmas!! 🎄 ❤

[@trish5556]

I kept meaning to recommend that you visit Mayo one day. The Turner family had reunions at Advent Christian Village in Dowling Park for many years. Some relatives still gather there, but not as many since 2001 due to the younger generations losing interest. Anyway, several of us would drive over to Mayo and go to the Great Southern Biscuit Company there for fantastic biscuits and other food. Sadly, they closed about 5 years ago. It was in the building you got your bubble tea at. You did not show it but there was a thrift shop across the street from it we all enjoyed perusing as well. I took lots of pictures around town of the old cabin, courthouse, and that bed & breakfast. I also love that suspension bridge, never seen it before. My husband, son and I had a family tradition of singing Stephen Foster's "Way Down Upon the Swannee River" every time we went on a bridge across it. Funny thing, during the Turner reunions we had a tradition of tubing down the Swannee at Dowling Park and never saw a gator.

[@TheAsif5182]

i love to see abandoned places thats why i subscribe to many channels to see american beauty . and i love to learn english as well. this time learned some words such as awning , and bay door .❤

[@MichelleMartin-ld6zg]

[@MiamisburgJay]

Thanks for another fine video Jay with all the history and interesting things to see, as usual. that suspended bride is something indeed, especially those cable bundles... Have a great one and a Merry Christmas :)

[@Elephant2024]

The Swanee River folk song entitled 'Old Folks at Home' was written by Stephen Foster back in 1851. Since 1935, it has been the official song representing the state of Florida.

[@NormaDishong]

Merry Christmas from Bartow Fl.

[@conniepritchardreinhardt9978]

Find the old post office in el-jobean Florida. Do one on that and the rail car and building across the street as well. Great history.. the old post office you can grab lunch at too. They have a small museum attached to it.

[@donsummerour8065]

Love your video Jay. We had a house in Forest park Georgia called seven gables. They tore it down several years ago.

[@cherylcro2]

Thank God for Roadside Attractions again!! Sorry but I gotta say it! I'm so sick of horror stuff, that's all we've been seeing since August! Halloween is about kids Trick or Treating, candy and parties!

[@TampaJay]

Thanks for watching.

[@sandymoseley]

I drive that road in the beginning every day on my way to work at Lancaster Correctional Institution outside of Trenton. Oh, and it's Gilchrist, not Gilcrest😅

[@RoxanneTaylor-yb3fs]

The breeze way is called a dog run.

[@tracker5849]

Ive never had a boba..i would love to try one. No one sells them where i live now

[@underworldministry3786]

It is now a historical Gilchrist county jail!! We have investigated this jail many times! We have video from the jail on our KZbin channel!!

[@marcthorner8338]

Jay, you have a gap starting at 8:33 ti about 9:08!!

[@badreligionnc]

That was the haunted part. Every video must be haunted or spooky now. 😢

[@TampaJay]

thank you for watching the video and letting me know

[@TampaJay]

i will just cut that part out. weird how that happened. missing shot was just the begging of the bot launch**

[@TampaJay]

thank you for letting me know

[@TampaJay]

always ha

[@sharonatl]

Hi Tampa Jay I found you through Adam the woos channel, but I have a feeling you started doing this before he did am I right?

[@justinbreeden7922]

I was born and have lived 50 years 10 miles from the suspension bridge.

[@unholymans]

That blue and white checkered tile was the inside of the local laundry mat. I honestly cant recall what the name was...

[@thevillagesreporter]

I’ve investigated this place many times! That Police car is from NY couple of cops were killed in there u can see the bullet holes still in it. I can get u in there for an overnight, My channel has some videos of the jail on there

[@RonPetrey]

Great channel. Miracle Whip is not mayo

[@deanagallatin6974]

44:17 I think it was Francis Scott Key for way down upon the Swannee river....edit: i was wrong, it was Steven Foster. Dang i for got my Florida history they taught us in grammar school.

[@cherylirwin1921]

I'm the current owner of the old jail. If you'd like a personal tour call me.

[@TampaJay]

where can i contact you!? thank you .

[@tracker5849]

I HATE THAT BRIDGE!!!!! we used to cross it going to steinhatchie

[@lauriegiovelli6504]

Mayonnaise and miracle whip are not the same thing 🤨

[@TampaJay]

right? Thank you.

[@KKSgranny]

I live in Live Oak. You would enjoy seeing the painted bridge here. A retired Suwannee river bridge that has been painted many time by graffiti artist. Kinda gory but On the other side of the bridge is an abandon building that serial killer Ted Bundy's last victim was found . The 17 mile North of Live Oak, the town of Jasper has the coolest old jail house that is haunted.

[@TampaJay]

i’ve been to that bridge. thank you so much for watching. Can’t wait to get back to Live Oak.

[@clautildadaniel9744]

Ho ho ho merry Christmas

[@TampaJay]

[@ramonaherlong3986]

The house of 7 gables was torn down. I went to school in mayo and my sister lives there

OK...rant over, let's go see some abandoned and roadside attractions!!! ❤❤❤

[@TampaJay]

hope you enjoy it

[@cherylcro2]

​@@TampaJayI did and I do love these! Well, I'm 69 and love history now! So, even though I don't like the horror videos, I do love these. I do love the paranormal and ghosts, too. I know, that's scary but not the same. I love you Tampa Jay and Cris too! Keep up the good work! I'm not a fan of mayo or ketchup! 😂😂

[@jasonturner6411]

Hey Tampa Jay, are you from Tampa?
