TDW 1589 - Rare Blockbuster Video Sighting

[@adamthewoo]

Looking back on it I should have bought the chocolate band aids

[@MatronTLH]

It'd be tasty to lick your wounds after an embarrassing bike ride, eh? ;)

[@pimmer]

Yes you should have. Sounds like fun.

[@petesenrab5691]

adamthewoo those bandaids would be a hit in our house! Our kids would go thru them like candy.............thanks Adam, fantastic morning with the Woo

[@LadyDragonsblood]

He said he was going to save that channel for when something really, really special comes along. Right now he is just concentrating on the daily vlogs.

[@TampaJay]

adamthewoo Going to be in St. Cloud today buddy!

[@stephaniecerce3813]

Going to Blockbuster on a Friday night, browsing through the movies and grabbing some candy for a fun night in is something I miss. Streaming movies just doesn't have the same feel.

[@whinycooper9158]

Stephanie Cerce When the one in my hometown opened, thy had free boxes of fresh popcorn. It was the best!

[@timothyty7630]

It's so true, I miss Blockbuster so much. When we got 4 movies we finished them all, we never stream 4 movies in a night now. Even taking the movies back was a fun trip. I miss life before the internet and cell phones. It was a much more relaxed simpler time.

[@alanhowitzer]

Blockbuster was such a pain.

[@jwgreek8606]

Amen to that! I wish I could cuddle with a woman and make it a blockbuster night with her!

[@busybee4436]

Stephanie, I hear ya! Miss the whole Blockbuster experience! 😢

[@ginamaria2579]

Her dogs are DARLING, LOVE this old stuff , AWESOME video Adam !

[@aircastles1013]

Zoe flying through the autumn leaves full of the joy of life, love it....

[@rainbo5250]

The puppy was like, " No,...it is MY ball, I don't want to give it to you!" Giggle. I want to hug the cute little dogs,.....cuteness overload for sure. ♥

[@Diana-cp5yk]

The pictures of you when you were a kid were the best! Little Woo! Vlogs are awesome. Keep doing what you love.

[@maryloufarnsworth8461]

Adam, the stars on the old saloon were attached to rods that ran in the structure. The stars were to support the brick veneer and to keep it from falling off. A lot of our old buildings in Baltimore have these.

[@Tazzo2212]

I look so forward to your videos every morning. I love to see what new adventures you will find each day. Love to see you and your sister together. Hope you guys have a great day!

[@gavdanby-cooper9085]

Loving your content Adam. Thank You.

[@moonshepherdess]

Hi Adam! We've been going back and forth across Indiana with various loads for the past couple of days and are glad you're back up this way. We spent about 10 days before that running up and down the PA Turnpike, and the leaves were gorgeous! Good to see your sis and her "wild" kingdom, too! Be safe out there.

[@JimelWalker]

I can honestly say...I don't miss Blockbuster. Another great video, Adam! I've also been nonstop looking for a random pair of Woo sunglasses. I came close to finding a pair, but the selling list expired. If I find one, I'll send the link your way. :)

[@angelinaduganNy]

I love all the historical bits that you put in your videos.

[@HeatherSummerRaine]

Adam I am having to binge watch your videos to catch up. My phone decided it really liked Magic Kingdom, and decided not to come with me. 6 days later it arrived in the mail! It's so nice to hear your voice again!

[@tim_brooks]

love the videos been watching for the last few hundred days straight (and have gone back to the previous ones), but lately you've started doing my only pet peeve. sunglasses inside! :D

[@BoogieTheMann]

Yessss,the return of Woobraham Lincoln.

[@BlueBelle1910]

Boogie The Mann Finally a sighting of the wise old Woobraham Lincoln! Good old Woob cracks me up - something about his silly old-timey accent is the best. Gets me laughing every time! 😄 😄😄

[@jeffroche8549]

I was a manager of a Blockbuster Video in Norfolk VA. I worked for Erols Video and Blockbuster bought them out and I worked For Blockbuster Video after that. I worked all nights as I was in the Navy Days. I wrote schedule so I was off Duty Days. If we went to sea I took a leave of absence for 4 to 6 months. I was a good employee, always came in early and when called. It was a Fun Job

[@paulallan1000]

Good to see you eventually caught up with your ears.Another great day,see you tomorrow Adam,,from the UK.

[@jimmyn6724]

Although decorative, those stars on the side of the building are actually connected to extra supporting rods to help hold the walls up. A lot of of the time they were post construction when a weakness was detected

[@adamthewoo]

very interesting. Thanks for the info

[@MrJest2]

When I'm out of California, I always automatically scan a brick building for those anchors. If I don't see them, I have a hard time convincing myself to enter. Yeah, paranoid, I know. :-)

[@AM-ey1xv]

Thanks for the videos Adam, you are an inspiration sir

[@josztroutfishingdiary7350]

Zoe reminds me of our old dash hound CoCo. I love the way they look at an object for an instant, then lunge at it with their heads. CoCo was also obsessed with ball fetching.

[@LadyDragonsblood]

Made by Hairless Joe and Lonesome Pole cat in Dogpatch, Kickapoo Joy Juice was first made to be sold at the now defunct Dogpatch Theme park in Arkansas (about 7 miles from where I grew up). It became so popular they distributed nationally..... many people think, it was the taste that inspired Mountain Dew. I have not seen a bottle of that since the early '70's at the park. Talk about home nostalgia..... THANK YOU for that. Great vlog! These are the kind I like best, but so far, there hasn't been a vlog I haven't liked! Keep up the great work, Adam!

[@yaidiemarie8870]

ah, Blockbuster, so many memories! my brother and sister used to work there and I was destined to follow their footsteps lol

[@Starscreamlive]

"You want this... don't you." I knew it. Adam the Woo is the Emperor reincarnated!

[@RodiTZ]

Good morning Adam, PARTYYY. LOL ....have a great day 😁

[@pimmer]

The old yearbook pictures are majestic! Have a great time with your sister.

[@that80skid86]

Something just feels rite about watching your Vlogs and listening to 80's music at the same time.

[@bootexas2279]

Adam if that classic SUV runs and is good condition ,, I say go for it man!!! I can see you festooning around America and what not in that awesome automobile.

[@SueGirling68]

Really cool vlog Adam, thank you x

[@rebeccajohnston5411]

Susan Girling w

[@ICEMAN564788]

Thank you, Adam!

[@GoldsCovers]

Such good doggys !! I love the little sausages they seem to have an astounding life quality

[@diggity0607]

Lol cheer up Adam. Great vlog as always.

[@susanlongb4]

That Voodoo food looked awesome. My ATW shirt is ordered. My bday present to myself. A life long Hoosier until very recently, I'm loving Arizona. You inspired me to do the drive.Thanks for all you do,Adam. 😊

[@curtisherrera6039]

Adam, you ever worry about your phone when you set up those great far away shots? It always seems like your so far away.

[@thomaswalsh3686]

You really are a nice guy Adam and I look forward to your daily blog sending much love from the UK

[@bigwin2010]

I worked at Blockbuster when I was in high school. As yes, that 5 free rentals a week perk sure made me a popular guy with the ladies.

[@AdventuresInAZ]

Great video as always! Love all that old architecture...

[@kplante7881]

Thanks for sharing Adam...!

[@imcyberpunk]

Those Stars embedded in the brick wall are called "architectural stars" and it has a rod attached to it that goes through the wall and on the inside there is another star or plate. They are used to clamp the wall back together once the wall starts to crumble and buckle. They aren't always stars, sometimes just metal squares or circles, but can also be decorated or carved with patterns Source: My mom collects antiques and went through a phase where she had a bunch of them salvaged from demolished or fallen buildings and farms

[@jimyorx4858]

Adam, Enjoying your vlogs. You're getting closer to my house the farther east on SR-24 you go. Not may people know of the Wabash-Erie canal system that ran through this area before the Civil War. There's a lot of stuff for Colombo to find on that topic. Looking forward to the next video.

[@oldmanhuppiedos]

Beautifully against the camera with ball. You're a happy man, already in childhood.

[@mattman5791]

keep up the good work!

[@THX--nn5bu]

Your Year Book Pics make me feel old, I was in Sixth Grade in 1974 when you were born, in 1986 I was in Basic Training in the US Army.

[@Metalkitty33]

Good video for a Sunday morning , you crack me up Adam .

[@jrel1kor]

1988 was my junior/senior year of high school. (LOL) Keep up the Awesome job, Dude! I'll catch ya' later.

[@patigiddens1314]

I love old places!!! They were really nice!!! Thanks Adam, got my WOO fix, my day can continue!!! And a thanks to Sarah the Woo!!! How was that sandwich, looked amazing!! Be safe you two!!!!😀😀😀😀

[@silkysays3557]

His little friends could not predict the love he'd share...over 91,000 subs.Yay! Huggs,silky Sch;eep well,little woo!

[@smueller77]

Loved this video! The guy getting his foot amputated was creepy! Your face cracked me up Adam 😂😂😂

[@tappergal]

Blockbuster's are such a relic. I love when you happen to find one. Jones Soda makes a really awesome green apple flavor, I love those drinks.

[@josedelarosa909]

Your sisters dogs are dope as hell 👍🏼 . And your lucky you still have your yearbooks! 👍🏼 Its always cool to look back and see how different things were.. The 80's/90's were a trip!

[@corymontague7838]

Here in Fairbanks and North Pole Alaska we still have fully operational Blockbuster videos. With the 8 month winters and poor internet speeds it's actually easier for people to rent videos.

[@omgbarth]

Hope you have a great time visiting your sister! looking forward to the adventures you have in store for us....as always! good stuff!!

[@rickworth7089]

those 'stars' are the ends of long steel rods strung thru the buildings superstructure .... they hold the building together like giant bolts ... support

[@BIGBADWOOD]

Another great video !

[@griffinartandairbrushing3174]

Thanks for another awesome video!

[@bonniekaye]

Good morning!! Great video! :-)

[@TampaJay]

As I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash - I long for my old Indiana home!

[@interstellaraxeman4468]

That is frequently mistaken for Caduceus which has two serpents and large angelwings,....The serpent wand of the healing arts Asclepius is the one you see there at 6:42...

[@RuthyD]

Your yearbook pictures look like a male version of my yearbook photos! LOL! I wish someone would have sang a version of Cheer Up Charlie to me back then! It was rough going until about the 8 or 9th grade when I discovered a love for 80s hair bands...and contact lenses. :-)

[@jimmyq4158]

Man I was just in wabash on Friday it's a cool old town. A lot of history with railroads there.

[@PlanetNibiru]

The guy at 7:01 looks like Ernest goes to Civil War.

[@chartle1]

Based on the thumbnail thought you were visiting one of the few Blockbusters still open.

[@BlueBelle1910]

The blue "gummy" guy in the shop looked like an updated version of the Candyland game pieces. Too cute! I want it!💖

[@TommyboyGTP]

That teddy bear book was just a little creepy... I do like the older architecture of the city. So many of the older towns just fade away into a shadow of their former selves.

[@evelynlester6884]

I enjoyed seeing the Blockbuster Video sighting I haven't seen Blockbuster Video in a long time.😄

[@iokuakawelo1308]

Hey Adam, tell your Sister I love that t-shirt at 3:06!. 808 represent!!!! (I'm from Hawai'i) lol.

[@yzrider3326]

Hey Adam. We love you in South Bend Indiana!

[@TiffanyM3]

It's always good to see you enjoying downtime w/fam. The sweet shop looked dangerous! Love the glimpse of little Woo...Do you wear contacts now?

[@allilav1265]

I love when you have your sister along. and the dogs crack me up. esp zoe!!

[@sapphire76]

I love the yearbook photos!

[@beanchungus4247]

great video as awalys! :)

[@mrkwrkp]

Hay Adam! enjoyed watching your Vlog and with great Facts and showing us what you looked like in the 80s when you was at School at the end. I have photo's when i was young and look so Different now.

[@star978]

The stars on the side of the building are actually structural. They tie the walls of the building together. This technology hasn't been used in over a hundred years. Robin

[@MrJest2]

These always end too soon! I was just getting into your reminiscence! :-)

[@lawrencebarber1517]

you should get that classic van, Adam

[@deeplivin]

Nice Adam. Thank you.

[@Raydeeohed]

Its my dly comment, got nervous when you touched the crutch in dr fords, its cool that you can pick up the relics

[@bradrichards6107]

Those stars embedded in the old saloon are attached to steel rods. The rods span the building, and are used for structural support.

[@firestickuser8171]

Adam the Woo: "What is this election you speak of?"

[@CaptBoone]

Thanks Adam

[@bigdaddymak1439]

The Woo was like 5 miles from my house!! Majestic!!!

[@TheRealSmithFamily]

FYI, those HUGE spot lights you see at carnivals or car dealership sales shooting into the night sky are "carbon arc" lights.

[@damian9303]

"Gummy guy" Obviously this guy has never played Candy Land to know it's a blue gingerbread man player piece

[@Anonymoose]

Not believing that there's still a Blockbuster left that hasn't been turned into a bank or a Dollar Store.

[@captfenway9979]

My daughter in laws dachshund is named Chloe. A carbon copy of Zoe. She has ball on the brain. Will chase it all day. Wonderful dogs!

[@cathlenekerr8548]

you should check out Lubbock Texas it's got a whole plethora of things from very dated to old days to the very modern with an very cool college town. it's very cool I grew up there as well as my mother.

[@mauri213]

11:14 - Adam the Boo Hoo. 😂 Do you still wear glasses? Contacts?

[@scottgfx]

My family is from Indiana. I was told that the locals would pronounce the town "pay-roo". Somewhere in the house I have a wicker picnic basket made in Peru, Indiana.

[@tracybates2285]

thank you for sharing your school photos.

[@tinarowena]

over 14,000 views and only 1233 likes. Why? Adam, your vlogs are the best!!!!!

[@EllicottCity1]

"What did you see?"~ haha!! Have a fantastic day to both you & your sister :)

[@semsticks]

Adam in the near future would like to see your spin on Gettysburg, nice post....

[@Africanfrogs]

I went to block buster yesterday and rented the new cod. Still quite a few open ones if you are in the right areas

[@katotterbee5399]

[@katotterbee5399]

zoe is like a little brown sausage pig!!! one of my cats snuffles like a pig when sleeping! x

[@bfrance2002]

mettle stars are hooked to rods through the building to the other side to keep the walls from bowing out.

[@Woodyoncp]

I bet the Adam from 5th grade would be super super proud of the person he would become in 2016

[@mcopado]

OMG I always though the "growing into your ears" thing was a myth, but you proved it. LOL

[@bethwaltz2607]

Sister Faith the Woo is an excellent dining out scout! Tokyo Cuisine in Kokomo was worth the trip. We'll definitely try the Voodoo Public House in Peru.

[@karlfry169]

Sorry Adam, Zoe was the star of this vlog!

[@mauri213]

9:52 - Those ears are festooning themselves.

[@Cindy7777777]

Wow, Blockbusters lol I used to love that place lol Of course there are unicorns, did you ever doubt it lol Love that restaurant's name, Voodoo Public House!!!! That food looked fantastic!!!! Those huge light fixtures looked like they belonged on a London Street back in the 20's or 30's lol I"ll take one of each in that candy store lol All of those old buildings are amazing and the furniture inside, wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! Looking at your yearbook pics, looks like you were a very happy kid lol Thanks for taking us along on your awesome journey!!!! Great vlog!!
