TDW 1781 - What's Beneath The Old Masonic Theatre

[@smitty1726]

The wires on the road count the number of cars, for traffic studies

[@alien_industries3803]

not only counting but also the length of vehicle and its speed

[@Averyindex0]

You actually want to hit those wires on the road as fast as you can. They are required to set the speed limits based on the traffic studies. You can get out of speeding tickets if a traffic study hasn't been performed and the speed limit set based on the study. FYI

[@jodyrayvictor]

smitty1726 we have these here in New Mexico. I never knew what they were. thanks

[@doonsbury9656]

+ The Ceiling Fan Stop. We got em here in Australia too mate, & they count the cars & they note the speeds & they collect all this information & still they don't seem to be able to get rid of the traffic jams! :))

[@chartle1]

The studies can be used for things like whether or not a traffic light or stop sign is needed.

[@Idolmakercat]

The drone shots are so beautiful. It lets you see more of what is beyond the trees.

[@jessintn]

Statler and Waldorf. Named after hotels. The two old Muppet balcony hecklers. :)

[@AH-ew6ei]

My brother says I remind him of the taller older heckler? While my girlfriend says, I remind her of Bert from Ernie and Bert?

[@lindsaykowand5460]

my 3 year old and I look forward to your videos every morning. We always look forward to your next adventure. awesome work Adam. can't wait for tomorrow's vlog. have an awesome day!!

[@TheDailyWoo]

you too Lindsay

[@IrishLincoln]

Adam, I am currently serving as Treasurer of my lodge. The stage is the "East" and that is where the Master of the Lodge (president) sits. The Secretary and Treasurer will sit on either side of him and that is how they conduct business meetings and initiations of new members. Other officers would sit around the lodge room in specific places. All of it has symbolic significance in the organization.

Oh my Gosh I can't believe you are here!!! My grandfather was born here in 1918! We tried visiting here a few years back but couldn't continue driving because my kid was so sick. So thank you so much for going here!! I am sending Link to my dad who hopefully can watch as well, he has been there several times. My Grandfather was a WW2 vet , he worked in the coal mines and also was a Engineer on the railroad but I don't know which one, so thank you a million times !!!! What a blessing you have given to me today!!!

Adam the Woo goes on adventures for me, he doesn't even ask my mom

[@moviedog1]

My Mom was mad about that for a while, so I had her watch some of his video's, now she is okay with it.

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

Rat Adam out and his mom will yell at him.

[@rbateman25]

Whoever was behind the refurbishment of the theatre should highly commended. It looks absolutely incredible. The mixture of of old world with new is eloquently done. The light fixture is a work of art - stunning. Thanks for sharing Adam. Great episode. Safe travels.

[@kcsunshineadventures1496]

Thanks Adam, your daily videos load as I'm going to bed each night here in Australia 🇦🇺 so I don't miss any. Very informative

[@TheDailyWoo]

[@dedebones1967]

"Take Me Home, Country Roads" Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River. Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads. All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water. Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads. I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away. And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads Take me home now, country roads, Take me home now, country roads. John Denver

[@myboyz9391]

That song was written about Clopper Road in Germantown, Md near me. ❤

[@lindachavezw...246]

Hubby is from Wheeling West Virginia...take me home country road and a bag of hot cheetos

[@RhettyforHistory]

That theatre looked really nice! it's always great to see people have pride in their town and fixing it up!

[@jlinconklin1678]

Good morning Adam! , Your a huge inspiration to us all keep up all the Awesomeness!

[@wipammy]

That theater is absolutely stunning!!! I'm sure it was even better in person. It's always great to see these beautiful old places saved for future generations. 💙👍

[@shauns7466]

My Grandmother,Wife and I Love your videos We watch everyday... Thank you so much for sharing

[@Lighting_Desk]

Its not a speed trap. Its a measuring device to measure how much traffic uses the road to determine how much maintenance is needed.

[@robertmoore8076]

Beautiful trees... I can't get enough of that! What a beautiful place this is! Thanks Adam for sharing this wonderful part of the USA with us. I appreciate your time to make these videos for us and showing parts of America I probably would never see. It brings much love for our nation...

[@disneygirlatheart]

That waterfall was absolutely stunning, the majestic served you well. I never want the vlog to end, but if it must, there could be no better ending than that beautiful sight.

[@yoblazes]

Adam if you ever get a chance, this is where my grandfather was born and raised. His father, my great grandfather, was the most influential doctor in the town. They actually named the hospital after him, it has since changed but it used to be called the, "Emmett memorial hospital". Anyways his estate is a gorgeous old plantation home and has been turned into a B&B called, "Hillcrest" it's very ritzy and if you ever wanted to stay there for a night you should and I'll give them a heads up. I may be able to get you a night for free.

[@CannotStandStupid]

I just found your channel 5 today...about 75 minutes ago...and I have already viewed and liked 10 videos/vlogs. Of course, I subscribed to your channel and enabled notifications to be alerted to any of your new vlogs, videos, etc. You have an original, creative, and positive style of presenting your subjects and I will likely be up most of the night watching as it seems I am unable to put my phone down! Thank you and I look forward to witnessing any/all of your creations! Thank you again!

[@shelbo1000]

Love you Adam. Thank you for everything

[@goldberg250]

I found your channel late, I'm from Clifton Forge. I legit spit out my food when you started showing my town.

[@mikegaughan9260]

Adam you just keep getting better and better with your daily vlogs and your drone flying is superb. See ya tomorrow bro.

[@doonsbury9656]

It is wonderful the way they are renovating that old theater nothing wrong in keeping the beauty & charm of days gone by. That dark room took me back! , our local theater had one of those back when I was a kid. Amazing the number of stars that visited the place & some very well known ones too. Would have loved to have seen Trigger come down the aisle & up on to the stage! Those stars back then were all class!

[@chrisreed26]

My father worked for the railroad many years ago, about 1950 and i saved many items from Clifton Forge, VA such as a yardstick from The Mountain National Bank which says "Measure Your Savings" and a prescription bottle that is from a drug store called Hydes Pharmacy...My father was also a 32nd Degree Mason....big fan of your channel here!!

[@GregsVlog]

"I like trees!" "So does your average cocker spaniel."

[@TuesdayAfternoon]

Loved the long and winding road and gorgeous waterfall. Another great vlog. Always enjoy them. :)

[@thehansenfamily2319]

As always, Good morning to you Adam. Thank you for the daily vlogs,

[@argonpathart4938]

This is one of my absolute favorite videos. Thank you Adam! You are The Man! :)

[@lisaotto1397]

Love you Adam. Hope you are feeing good today. My husband and I really enjoy watching. Have fun my friend

[@racheldelgado9216]

Love Roy Rogers. What an amazing building and such a beautiful restoration.

[@pamelabrida945]

Thanks for these daily impromptu history lessons from rural America. The Blue Ridge Mountains are certainly full of beautiful places! Love the waterfall!

[@vicaroo001]

THAT was an EPIC finish! Love the before and afters on the theater shots. Thanks, Brittney!

[@d-rocker26]

I so cracked up at the waterfall singing, I loved it Adam. Great to see that building saved and refurbished.

[@tinplategeek1058]

Adam, that "dark room" exit is how most UK theatres are built. They don't have a straight out exit/entrance so you never flood the theatre with light at anytime (excepting for fire door only exits which go directly to the street)

[@teresaanderson6501]

that building was absolutely amazing! And the waterfall was too :-)

[@coachtrogers]

That water fall was used in the movie Sommersby with Richard Gere and Jody Foster. A few of the sets are still in Bath County. Also many of the town scenes were filmed in Lexington, VA that you just traveled by.

[@TheDailyWoo]

+T Rogers no kidding . Very cool

[@rckblykitn]

Aww you look so handsome in your button down shirt Adam. I love old theaters and seeing the restorations in some is incredible. Thanks for sharing. I know you love old theaters too but usually you only get to show us the outside. How cool that you got to tour the whole inside and were allowed to film it to share with us. Thank you! 💙

[@rckblykitn]

Also holy CRAP what a beautiful waterfall!!! The majestic is so perfect when you find those kinds of things 😊

[@beachgirl453]

that's interesting . Lots of fun on your adventures. beautiful waterfall

[@GradyRho92]

It's cool how they just let you wander around the building. Especially the electrical room.

[@dueceduece87]

Mmmm clean press shirt. A girl in the video. Most impressive!!!

[@ayokac]

dueceduece87 it seems to me she didn't like to be in the video

[@BMeister22]

My guess is the girl is who got him VIP access to that theater. Looked like he was getting those images from her iPhone.

[@ptothet934]

Good morning Adam! Love not knowing where you are going to be from day to day. The suspense is half of fun of watching. Wishing you safe travels today my friend; wherever it leads......

[@TheDailyWoo]

I try to mix it up for sure, thanks for watching

[@tia2211]

From the crosses on the hill to the bird's eye view of the waterfall and the excellent example of preservation in between....thank you for sharing things we never would have know existed.

[@maggieanderson3778]

beautiful waterfall. Your music was nice. Thanks Adam.

[@chirp-cc1sn]

Tom Mix lived down the road form where I live, I mean in the next county, but in PA. That theater is a beauty. There is a lot of love and a lot hours that went to good use. Thank people for saving instead of tearing down. Chirp

[@Lurker1979]

Those two lines are so they can count cars that use that road. That theater reminds of the local old movie theater they restored in my own town of Bremerton, the Admiral Theater.

[@VOmaker]

Adam, the "speed trap" is actually a traffic counter. It works the way the old bells at the gas station worked. Driving over them, increases the air pressure momentarily in the hose and advances the counter. They are used by municipalities and other governments to assist with budgeting and maintenance for roads.

[@TheDailyWoo]

+Don Kettle thanks Don

[@RuthyD]

A lot of really good stuff in today's vlog, Adam. The drone shots were truly epic. Not sure about the injured animal I kept hearing in the background though. ;-)

[@TheTiaKeas]

The sounds that you made for the water falls was horrifying! Thanks for showing us around to places most of us would never see..

[@TampaJay]

Looks like a Doc Brown weather experiment!

[@patigiddens1314]

What a great job they did redoing it. It's really beautiful. The countryside is so beautiful. Thanks Adam, got m y WOO FIX for the day WHOOP!!!!!! Stay safe! Great waterfall too!!!!!!!😀😀

[@MichaelCasey1988]

Hey, Covington is by Warm Springs. My dad took me hunting out there in 2007. I remember driving down that road with him and smelling that paper mill! great video Adam

[@ricochetjack7579]

Love the floor tiles in the foyer, wish more buildings would bring that style of flooring back.

[@damonreeves]

Good Stuff WooMan. Safe Travels Brother. Peace

[@JDSWeather]

That wire stretched out is a traffic counter it's used to count how many vehicles use this road it's used to tell VA DOT where traffic issues may happen at peak flow

[@ianbrown2677]

Brilliant drone shots at the end there. What a beautiful waterfall! Love the sound effects too!

[@glenesis]

Wow, you know stuff, Woo. Your videos are always a treat. Nice drone work!

[@paulallen4968]

Statler and Waldorf were the two funny old men from the Muppets.

[@mine12385]

I won't get out of bed until I watch your videos

[@awkwardBOB]

Those drone shots of the waterfall were epic... but it was the musical backdrop that made it MAJESTIC.

[@TheDailyWoo]

+Awkward Bob thanks bob

[@heru-deshet359]

I stopped in at Clifton Forge years ago. Purchased a few nice antiques there. The town seemed a little deserted and run down. Glad to see it's coming back.

[@AGreedyTree]

There's an old theatre like that in Chillicothe, OH. The locals say it's haunted. It gave me nightmares as a kid.

[@arcadeeater7207]

finally a channel that sees the stuff i like to see on vacation......hopefully your headed west to West Virginia... some cool drone shots available in beckley at the new river gorge...:)

[@erikk.5202]

Breathtaking views of the waterfall! As you would say...MAJESTIC!

[@donkirk6829]

The California Theatre in Dunsmuir, CA, is also 3 story. The 2nd floor is offices, former apartment and projection room. The third floor had the Masonic meeting room, their office, lobby, kitchen, bathrooms and ballroom. Very similar, but this place looks far better than the CA.

[@albertringshauser7267]

Always enjoy watching. It's like I'm traveling with you. Peace

[@garbage854]

Great video The Masonic Temple was neat to see. There is a cool Masonic Temple you would like here in Asheville, N.C. :) Waterfall was nice, too

[@WhatTheHeckTV]

nice to see before and after photos of the building,great editing adam.

[@nancyk4595]

I really enjoyed that too. A lot of work was put into restoring the building.

[@TheTWhite]

Your "About" tab on your channel says these are never edited, and off the cuff. Love them always, but you may want to take credit for your time you spend to edit everyday for us! Thanks for your hard work to keep the videos going daily.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I do need to change that at some point

[@jackpast]

What you probably smelled is the pulp mill associated with a paper mill. Most paper mills in the US don't make their own pulp. They purchase it in bales and do not smell badly.

[@heatherr2665]

If you get a chance to come to Detroit, you should check out our Masonic Temple. It is the largest in the world. I have seen many awesome Broadway touring shows there. Back in the 90's my sister & I saw The Who's Tommy. When we went to the restroom at intermission we got lost going back to our seats & ended up in another function with some not so happy Mason's that 2 teenaged girls somehow just stumbled into their festivities lol. That place is massive! But it is gorgeous! And the lower level is the home of Detroit Roller Derby lol.

[@JasonBellVideos]

thanks for making the vlogs Adam :)

[@chrisbroemel5508]

Your waterfall music is now my ringtone! Love it! So majestic!

[@paulallan1000]

Those shots of the waterfall were simply,,majestic. See you tomorrow Adam,,from the UK. =)

[@Laurieannmoore22]

CHUD, hadn't seen that in years! 😳 Love your blog, watch it every day. Love the drone shots especially the waterfall, I love waterfalls.

[@robertholtz]

Your singing during the waterfall sequence is next-level Woo. Epic!

[@HorrorGalSusan]

That theater is beautiful...so glad they fixed it up! The drone waterfall footage was incredible!! :)

[@cathrinebalder1466]

Sitting in Sweden and watching your daily vlog, keep up the good work, love how funny you are;-) nice place you visit too.

[@oldgirl2816]

Beautiful Drone shots, I love waterfalls.

[@salmonking01]

That was very interesting. Virginia is beautiful. We have an old theater like that in our town. It too, recently underwent a community sponsored renovation. Keep on truck'n.

[@jm79design]

During the waterfall scene my cat's ears were wiggling back and forth. Haha. That was great. Excellent video as always.

[@zsandmann]

Those wires in the road are used to count how many cars go over the road each day. They use them when trying to plan road expansions and improvements.

[@thewillowman9326]

That windy road was quite hypnotic.

[@pamamatucci]

It's called a "car counter" ... it monitors how much traffic crosses that certain area

[@jasepmc9226]

Love your videos Adam glad your better Jay from UK.

[@charlesjohnson4454]

Used to visit Clifton Forge a good bit as a kid, the Mor Market actually used to be a 7-11, the owner of that market used to be the mayor of the town and unfortunately passed away a few years back, sad to see it closed now. I have a lot of fond memories of that old town and its gothic style structures. Keep up the good work Adam, btw check out Staunton, VA if you get the chance its a pretty old and interesting town as well.

[@Coachbob2319]

That box is to get the car count on that road or trip count. That's how they determine if traffic lights are needed and other things.

[@petesenrab5691]

Cool history from he Woo. Thanks Adam, safe travels!

[@crush41gb]

I don't know how close you are to Mountains Lake Resort but, you could do some Dirty Dancing locations. . nobody puts Large Marge in the corner. ; ) Thank you for everything, kind Sir and have your best day yet, everyone! :-D

[@TheDailyWoo]

I might do them one of these days

[@crush41gb]

Awesomeness! :-D

[@nancyk4595]

Clifton Forge is about 100 miles north of Mountain Lake Resort. I have visited the resort and really enjoyed seeing the area where Dirty Dancing was filmed. Adam would enjoy the ride back into the resort in Large Marge. There are some magnificent views and he could fly the Majestic.

[@sewashburn0529]

And Lake Lure, another Dirty Dancing filming location, if you dip back into North Carolina.

[@MrPAULONEAL]

Too bad the lake has receeded...

[@robertt.1808]

If you like old theaters, you should definitely check out the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville PA during Blobfest. This was the theater used in the famous scene at the end of the movie, where the blob comes out of the projector room, into the audience. They celebrate this once a year with a festival, and they even have a driving tour brochure of all of the filming sites in the area. They run the film, and have other "B" rated Sci-Fi films during the festival, and a "run-out", where the audience runs into the street, recreating the scene from the movie. There is music, celebrities (they had the B9 robot and "Judy" from Lost in Space) and a costume contest in addition to the street fair. The town is a stones-throw from Valley Forge, and we had a great time!

[@VinnyG1995]

Looking good Adam!

[@richardmccarley4673]

those cables across the road are for a traffic study to determine how many vehicles use that road

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

If Zombies are chasing you you simply run across them and the Zombies get shocked and collapse.

[@debradonley3825]

Or werewolves. Works on them, too!

[@crisslastname9417]

So glad you got the drone. Awesome shots!

[@davidconover3096]

the contraption that was taped to the street is a counter... It counts cars... They usually use them to see what traffic is like on streets, to see if traffic lights, other roads, etc. are needed...

[@pablocoisloco4584]

That mechanism with the two tubes running across the street? That measures the automobile traffic that goes up and down the street. I think these are used to decipher whether or not traffic signals are needed. It counts every car that drives over the tubes.
