Great to see a place of such significance being taken care of so well

Such a special spot and I guess it’s about to be significantly expanded.

So happy to see this. I’m going to be there in early September. Can’t wait. It’s been on my bucket list for awhile.

I literally was emotional being there. Josh had to shoot the ending twice as thinking about that music took me back to great times with my older brother as a kid!

[@SquakingOfTheCrows]

This is great! I like the mix of history, music, & clear shots with good pacing in these videos. I'm looking forward to more videos from this trip .. this part town looks super cute.
