[@lindsaykowand5460]

[@TheDailyWoo]

thats awesome !

[@TuesdayAfternoon]

🎶Almost heaven West Virginia… 🎶 Loved the roadsides wooded verge and scenic overlook!

[@GregsVlog]

Don Knotts was a comedy genius! Most people know and love him as Barney Fife from The Andy Griffith Show, but I will always remember him best as Mr. Furley from Three's Company! (Bursts into apartment with a blowtorch to cut Jack & Chrissy's handcuffs) "Ok, I'm here to cut the... (sees cop standing there) ROAST BEEF!" haha!

[@GregsGameRoom]

Mine too! "Handcuffed!" When Jack is at the table while Chrissy is underneath and they're trying to eat the cake... OMG, one of the funniest scenes EVER!

[@darylturcott]

very pretty area. enjoyed don Knotts so much. ghost & mr. chicken was my favorite, and mr. limpet. have a great day!

[@TampaJay]

I really enjoyed today's vlog! The Ghost of Mr. Chicken is my favorite movie of Dons. Statue was the best tribute to an actor I've ever witnessed. Well done and thought out...

[@truestory907]

Tampa Jay "What is brave,"its short for bravery, let me clarify that

[@dulcimerman7917]

Hello Adam, The company that I work for was also founded in Morgantown. It's call Gabriel Brothers, the newer logo would say Gabe's. Well save travels. Hope you make it to Mansfield, Ohio again where I am from.

[@mikes227]

Awesome Vlog my vicarious friend! You're getting close to Boston!!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Have a fantastic day

[@mareekatz]

TheDailyWoo have a great day Adam....welcome to the keystone state....

[@mareekatz]

Have a great day Adam !!!! welcome to our state ....enjoy !!!!

[@junastar6178]

Have a great day Adam !

[@OUTWOZ]

TheDailyWoo My favorite character that Don Knotts incorporated into Mr. Chicken, Barney Fife and Mr. Ferley was his 1950's nervous man D.D. Morrison.

[@pammiasmr9068]

This video was done so well, really enjoyed the scenic views and perspectives.

[@catinaclaytor3245]

Good morning TheDailyWoo me and my siblings spend our childhood in Princeton west Virginia

[@thephotographicauditor6715]

A friend of mine in Atlanta (Peachtree City) has repainted several of the old the murals for Coke. Corporate has an archive of every single mural they've ever painted, it's geographic location and the archive of the original artwork, accessible for her to copy. She gets somewhere in the $2-5k range to go on-location for a pressure wash, prime and repaint, usually by local request. They generally last 10-15 years or so.

[@TheDailyWoo]

very interesting thanks for the info

[@DarkCloud126]

Hi Adam! Thanks for visiting Morgantown. Not only do I live here, but I also work at the Morgantown History Museum that you attempted to visit (sorry we were closed; we even have an exhibit dedicated to Don Knotts that I'm sure you would've liked). We don't allow photography because people have come in before, taken high-quality photos of some of our own pictures & artifacts, then tried to sell those photos as their own. However, I probably would've let you film inside since I know who you are on here. Also, yes parking here sucks, and the hills are ridiculously steep...sorry about that! Anyways, that's all I wanted to say. Best wishes and come back soon!

[@TheMadNomadder]

I also follow/watch Adam! I am from Clarksburg, West Virginia. I also do travel videos across the US. I always try to make WV a destination for tourism. Right now, the hot topic is Fallout 76. I am trying to showcase WV real life locations to the game. Morgantown is on my agenda, tomorrow. (asked to do Popcon in Mylan for some publicity figure do some extra video of what I know of the area from growing up as well). Later on I would love to reach out for additional information/guidance to do a video for Don Knotts sometime. We recently went down to Mt. Airy. It was a great experience, I would love to help make WV, especially Morgantown, the ultimate stop for Don Knotts.

[@SuperBTRLOVER1011]

I've been watching for almost a year now and it's amazing you have finally come into my home state and are doing things up North I think it's great!

[@wvuwhat]

Coming back to watch this. I miss Morgantown so much. Best 4 years of my life.

[@gardendepot1]

Have a great day and enjoy your adventures!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

great vlog! I was lucky enough to meet him a few times before he passed away. total greatness

[@junastar6178]

When I was much younger I loved watching Mr. Limpet and seeing him on Three's Company reruns. Good times.

[@tinythrottle6186]

greetings from Coventry England... another informative excursion into your world Adam...

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

I was Morgantown last year and didn't know he was born there. Man I think I will have to go back there! Great stuff Adam!

[@KitschyTravels]

Don Knotts is one of the best comedic actors of our time!

[@TheDailyWoo]

agreed

[@phuku240]

Stoneyburke yesssss one of my favorites!!!!!!!

[@mackenziechannel6007]

Stoneyburke Yes! As a kid my favorite was Mr Limpett.

[@MatronTLH]

Nice to see some of this town. My son visited there last winter to see friends at WVU. Going again this autumn.

[@oscaris1ru12]

I was working for Crockett Shell, 44th and University, San Diego when I was introduced to Woodrow Knotts, Don's nephew. We worked together there all summer long '74. I remember his acquaintance fondly, Woody!

[@hilarypeddigree9493]

I absolutely love these old towns that keep so much of their originality. Welcome to Pennsylvania!!! Sorry for our crappy roads.

[@Edogawa1117]

Hilary Peddigree great comments. Lovely part of the world. Sorry about the roads.

[@adamtereska8734]

Hilary Peddigree, yes; bad roads, but great spots for exploration. Like Concrete City in Nanticoke, PA and the Knoebel's Amusement park and campground for amusement park enjoyment.

[@Edogawa1117]

Yeah,I think a VW bus would have suited Adam better than Large Marge. A VW bus or a smaller RV like a class B

[@hilarypeddigree9493]

Adam Tereska there's a lot. I do hope he makes it up this way. Knoebels is a must. I don't live far from there.

[@adamtereska8734]

Hilary Peddigree I'm not far from Knoebel's either.

[@stevethedudeful]

You were right beside my house!! I knew I should have gone out to look for you yesterday!

[@yogirl74]

I am so glad you are in PA now. That is where I am from (though I am not currently living there)

[@grannyvapes4154]

My son was blind and Don performed and hung out with the kids from Junior Foundation for the Blind in LA. He was wonderful with all of them and it was one of the favorite memories of my son.

[@TheDailyWoo]

+Granny Vapes that's amazing ! So cool

[@WrightBrosRC]

I first saw Don in The Incredible Mr. Limpet. As a kid, I loved that movie. Then, I saw The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, which is ultimately how I enjoy my memories of Don.

[@robertlipscob4321]

Don's mother's boarding house was on Beechurst Av. downtown that runs along the river. It was raised to build office space for WVU, His mother moved from there to 732 Louisa Av, In Morgantown and lived there until her death. Don's Mother and Father both and two of his brothers are buried at Beverly Hills Cemetary just out side of Morgantown on Rt 19,

[@doonsbury9656]

Don Knotts ....undoubtedly one of he finest comedians of his time. One of his finest performances was his cameo in 'It's a mad, mad,(etc) World" where he & Phil Silvers just played off each other to perfection. As you said Adam "Thanks for all those laughs, Don"

[@TheDailyWoo]

+Doonsbury I love that movie

[@doonsbury9656]

+Adam Oh yes! When would you ever see a cast of legendary comedians like that get together again!

[@Dirtyfrnk007]

I wish, I wish I was a fish... One of my fav movies, The incredible Mr. Limpet..

[@retrob9346]

keep up the great work adam god bless u

[@missrita1826]

Thank you so much for doing this segment of one of our finest West Virginia people and his town.

[@billclarke770]

One of your best, Adam. Fantastic editing - YOU are the MASTER. Good job. Keep doing what you do; it's what everybody loves.

[@NTLVlogs]

Loved this one. Don Knotts is one of my favorite actors. Liked him best in Threes Company. Stay safe buddy.

[@katherinemccormick5810]

Sorry to hear that Large Marge had trouble going up the steep hills, hope she is okay. Morgantown roads are a bit of a challenge to navigate through. And apologizes for the parking problems.

[@erin7626]

You should have parked at the Coliseum and took the PRT downtown. Parking in Morgantown is bad on a good day.

[@DesertDude78]

I love Don Knotts I had a chance to meet him years ago in Alabama had to miss out . One of my biggest life regrets and I have known many many people with fantastic lives!

[@rdnylennox]

TY so much. You have taken us to so many places

[@TerriIncircles]

Been a Don Knotts fan for many years.. sorry about those narrow scary streets LOL.. the town was beautiful thank you for another awesome vlog, Adam..😎 God bless you and Keep On Keepin On

[@wanderingtravels2488]

My neighbor was his child hood play mate and shared many stories and about them climbing trees to hide from the bullies that gave them both a hard time.

[@petesenrab5691]

Thanks Adam great small town stuff👍. Safe travels

[@sarakeith5480]

Good morning Adam! Have a terrific Tuesday!!!

[@crazy4tat2s]

missed you again. you came through my hometown. I meet don knotts once back in the early 80s I was invited to dinner and he was there. I went to school with his great nephew. he was very quite but when he said something it was funny. the warner theater was one of my favorite places when I was a kid it has been for sale for years. not only did don knots stay at the hotel Morgan so did Johnnie Mathis quite a few times. parking definitely is tough down town with an RV. Hope I catch you the next time you are here.

[@AlfredHawthornBennyHill]

Awesome video as usual!!! I always like Don Knotts too. And btw in case you didn't know, anytime you drive down a steep or any long incline you have to always put your transmission in 1st gear before you go down the hill, so you don't speed up and lose control. That's what 1st gear is for. Also while in 1st keep on the brakes when you start to speed up.

[@mareekatz]

welcome to Pennsylvania Adam !!!! I'm so happy your here in my neck of the woods !!!! Enjoy our beautiful state....

[@oldunion]

the "angled windows" were built in expectation of a building being built directly next to it thus allowing an open space for fresh air between them and access to interior rooms in the case of a fire.

[@greg33770]

I always got a kick out of the Don Knotts movie, The Ghost And Mr. Chicken

[@gagemoss1075]

"They even used Bon Ami!" I had to ask my Mom what Bon Ami was....

[@greg33770]

LOL ! I was like 11 when the movie came out so I did know what Bon Ami was.....just a good ole' funny movie......how about every so often someone saying, "Atta boy Luther"

[@jokerman213]

Don Knotts was a very friendly man and took time to make you feel important when he spoke to you. He use to own a couple of dinner theaters in the Kansas City area. The first one was around the corner from my old house and i would see him around from time to time.

[@alwaysabeliever108]

The Ghost and Mr.Chicken !! One of my all time favorite movies....gotta watch it two or three times a year around Halloween.Thank you Mr.Knotts !

[@katherinemccormick5810]

Welcome to West Virginia. I hope you enjoyed your time here.

[@chrism.4600]

RIP Don Knotts, He was the heart and soul of “The Andy Griffith Show” after he left the show after the 5th season, the show wasn’t the same.

[@patigiddens1314]

Beautiful area. The view was amazing!! Thanks Adam, got my WOO FIX for the day!! Whoop!!!!! Stay safe.😀😀😀😀

[@debmorris9648]

Thank you to the Daily Woo for sharing Don knotts with us

[@thehansenfamily2319]

Good Morning Adam, Thanks again for your vlogs. :)

[@loriepostlewaite162]

Hey there Adam glad to see you around our towns here in wv love your vlogs

[@jadengodley]

Welcome to PA!!!! You should check out Easton,Pa because we have a abandoned Dixie cup factory and bushkill park. Safe travels Adam and see you around!!!

[@4everspace]

Three's Company was my favorite too. 😁 🎵Come and knock on our door, we've been waiting for you🎵

[@MitchJ]

Thank you once again, Adam, for spending lunch time with me. I eat my lunch "al desko" every day, and you keep me company.

[@Brett33]

I believe my first introduction to Don Knotts work was when they showed the Apple Dumpling Gang in school .

[@PsychoPhil42]

I can't believe I just missed the Woo.... er... Adam! We were in Morgantown Sunday (Hotel Morgan) and passed the Arc and sopeed at Sideling Rock on Monday. So close to greatness!

[@BrendanTheGent]

i was very fortunate to pay my respects to him at his grave in LA. sorry its so hard to find parking sometimes. have a great day Adam

[@Peter-pv8xx]

I was visiting the Biltmore estate in north Carolina with my friend in the early 80's, there were a bunch of tractor trailers in front with cables going everywhere, it turned that they were filming the movie the private eyes with Tim Conway and Don Knotts upstairs while we there so I was in the same building with him, I thought that was cool.

[@missycat5783]

Very nice Adam. I've added this to my Don Knotts Playlist

[@pirategirl58]

Almost Heaven. West Virginia...Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah river. Good Morning Adam! Beautiful country you're in this morning! Don Knotts always made me want to feed him something! He was a frail looking man, but evidently pretty tough to do all that climbing! I wonder if the Warner ever played The Ghost and Mr. Chicken? That was my favorite Don Knotts movie of all time! Have fun Adam, and keep on keeping on!

[@three-stripes]

Yesss! finally in PA! My home state. Lots to see and do. Please head east!

[@kplante7881]

Thanks for sharing Adam...!

[@aarfeld]

And let's not forget "The Incredible Mr. Limpit," which I saw as a child at a theater in a Saturday matine when it first came out. I can still see the experience well.

[@TMRproductionstudios]

Adam, love the videos and everything you do! Keep on keepin on as they say.

[@johndaley0577]

Welcome to PA Adam! now head east, I'll show you around beautiful and historic Bucks Co.

[@CybershamanX]

(7:47) Oh, man! I wish I could have gone to the "Diane: A Return to Twin Peaks" evening event! (I'm looking at the poster to the right of the, um...medical dummy, I guess it is? :P Are there any other Twin Peaks fans in the ATW family? :) Watch out for the owls, Adam! They are not what they seem! ;)

[@EricMartinSmithOfficial]

if you are ever in Danville Indiana stop by the Mayberry Cafe all kinds of memorabilia and they have Barney's old cop car sitting out front

[@susanareid9887]

I love Don Knotts too. My favorite movie he did was The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. Thank you for doing a video on Don! I really liked it. Stay safe out there, Adam!!!!

[@vicsmotos3702]

Come to Lancaster PA and check out the small towns, let me know if you're in town I can show you around

[@hxcsoldier89]

MY HOMETOWN! FINALLY, HE COVERS IT!

[@sc6013]

another great vlog! thank you. Love Don Knotts!

[@jokerman213]

Next time you go down a steep road put the transmission in low and use the engine brake to slowly go down. But do not touch the brakes unless you have to. Once you use the brake pedal the engine brake stops.

[@73dsherman]

Welcome to PA. Here's a shout out from NEPA. Safe Travels..

[@emperorcupcake]

Hey Morgantown! I used to live there!

[@oola54]

Welcome to Pennsylvania Adam...sorry the gas prices are very high here

[@gidanunez811]

Adam you make my mornings! I love your vlogs

[@TheDailyWoo]

thank you

[@GregsVlog]

The "script" on the statue looks like it says, "Mr. Chi..." Probably Mr. Chicken...

[@jerryrobison3786]

I saw that too.

[@alpatrick4400]

According to the 10/23/16 Washington Times , that is correct (The Ghost and Mr. Chicken)

[@davetrek1962]

OMG! Adam did you go thru my little town of CUMBERLAND, MD to get there?I wish I had known! I would have LOVED to meet and by you lunch dude! Safe travels.

[@WhatTheHeckTV]

hope you bring some sunshine with you adam.

[@cjswhirled4669]

Thanks for the vid Adam. I spent 4 years at wvu and never knew about the don knotts connection. If you think those streets are crazy try driving em with snow. I burned up a transmission in my car trying to get up one. Have fun in Pittsburgh.

[@OllieRamone]

My dad went to West Virginia University in the end of the 60s and beginning of the 70s. Interesting to see the town where he went to college.

[@ladnarfilms5201]

I remember the first time ever going through Morgantown, it was about 10 years ago, and at the time did not know it was Don Knotts' home town. We went through it at night and I thought it was just about the craziest place to get around in that I had ever been in. Then when I found out it was his hometown, I thought, how appropriate. LoL. I loved Don Knotts he was truly one of the greatest entertainers ever!

[@RuthyD]

***humming theme song to Three's Company**** Rest easy, Mr Knotts. Your memory will always bring a smile to my face!

[@RuthyD]

Boregaurd Rippy Give it a rest there, Rippy. Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

[@deeplivin]

Thank you Adam.

[@deezhole]

The more you go east the harder it is to find parking. R/V parking will be tough. FYI, stay out of Carlisle PA, you will thank me.

[@natethegoldbearwelcomeever7272]

your in PA go to pine creek rails and trails the biggest trail in the south pine creek PA don't want to miss that Adam the woo.

[@MrJgp2012]

Loved all of Don Knott's characters. Thanks for the great vlog!

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

morning adam!

[@carmenattanasio7009]

Welcome to Pennsylvania!! If you are near the Scranton area, there are many interesting things to see!!! Including another spot marked as Babe Ruth's longest homerun!!!

[@pamelabrida945]

I always loved Don Knotts in the movies, "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" and "The Incredible Mr. Limpet". He was truly one of a kind!

[@BrettJeffries]

I read "The Ghost" on that statue script. That suggests "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken," not "Mr. Limpet." Gosh, there were so many TV shows and movies. "The Apple Dumpling Gang" would be appropriate as well. He said he had a five year work schedule rule, that he would alternate five years of movies with five years of TV shows. That's why he seemed to be "everywhere" with Mayberry in one hand and a movie in another.

[@5ch3nk]

Make sure you stop by Buffalo, NY when you're in the North East! People like to joke about the city, but it has tons of history, beautiful buildings from some of the best architects to live, amazing food, and great people! The downtown area has been on the upswing the last couple years too, people are really trying to turn the city around. I'm sure you would bring stuff to my attention I was unaware of also. Very close to Niagara Falls too. Enough history in the area to keep you busy for days!

[@piratetreasure]

Not sure if you've been there before, but an interesting spot sort of in the area is New Vrindiban. Might be up your alley.

[@anthonymorreale113]

Adam come to pittston pa.. it's the tomato capitals of the world plus a lot of historical events happened here like the Knox mine disaster. Plus down town is all painted on every building with historical events.. hope to see ya around brother..

[@craighon2256]

headed to my chemotherapy appointment. I was very happy to see my daily fix of the Woo ... Put me in a much better mood! Thanks, Adam!!

[@TommyboyGTP]

Now that you're in PA, any plans on going to Scranton and visiting Steamtown? It's a pretty awesome place, you'll love it!
