Pistol Shaped Building - Roadside Giants - Grave of the Real Life Dorothy - Henry's Rabbit Ranch

[@billsmafia317]

Did you stop in McClean Ill (the next North of Atlanta)? Last time I was on 66 I discovered this town by accident. It looks abandoned, but 1 guy is buying all the buildings, and turning the whole town into a giant arcade! It is unreal!

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Dang, I missed that

[@thomasmatthews7315]

Ive been debating leaving this comment for a while, but I just felt that this should be said, thank you, honestly, Recently I went through a super low patch in my life, out of a job, grandfather passed away, and in general no motivation, and your videos helped me get through each day, I wont lie I watched the entire Dixie Highway roadtrip start to end during this time, and I just wanted to say that, you may never see this but it was worth the effort.

[@smoothMark1]

Hang in their thomas. Push though it all. You'll feel alot better when you do! I've been their to many times. It is rough. Take care!

[@Hvamp]

I totally relate to your story. He got me through a horrible patch and got me loving again. We don’t realize how our lives effect others. He show effects everyone different. I had the same reaction as you:) So glad to hear things are getting better. Losing family is very hard. I’m so glad you posted. It made me know I was not alone in my feelings:)

[@MissFanCulture]

I really appreciated your openness and transparency in the recent video. People online are brutal. Keep making great content!

[@SaccharineChaperone]

Not the first time I’ve cried over a grave of someone I never knew. Definitely the first time I’ve cried watching KZbin at lunch.

[@timothybark5357]

I rode my bike from Pontiac to Chenoa on Route 66 so many times as a kid. Love my hometown of Pontiac. Pfaff's Bakery is a must for anyone visiting.

[@lisabaca6793]

I can't really travel due to health problems so I love getting to experience awesome places through your videos

[@paulfuryes203]

I don't know where you find these places but I love it great videos.

[@jeffs8614]

Jacob....good job.....keep those drone sequences coming as they are great! have fun in STL

[@reese9030]

I always love when he brings out the drone.

Loving the Route 66 road trip so far. I also love the music that plays when the drone flies. Safe travels sir.

[@DustyWingsProductions]

Gotta admit. A little envious of you getting to make this trip. Being able to just take your time and enjoy the Mother Road. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@OldMovieRob]

I love all of these obscure places you find.

[@syedhamidi5643]

Jacob always say good job to his drone after finished flying. Possum3 is his child

[@DonCorleone1]

I live in Bloomington, IL. Probably about 5 blocks from Dorothy's grave. Wish I would have met you. We have a rich history, especially in that cemetery.

The Pink elephant antique shop is a must stop whenever I am passing through 👍🏼

[@markzeahammer183]

Carpetbagger, Thanks for the chat last night, definitely cheered Me up. You should arrange a Meet up at the end of Highway 66 in Santa Monica.

[@sharksgrr]

you giving the drone a thumbs up and a 'good job' as it lands was so wholesome

[@jaymeedelarosa8706]

Simon is the chipmunk with the glasses. And Theodore is always the cute chubby chipmunk. Just some help Jacob.

[@joesneon]

Jacob, I love you showing the old neon signs! That is my occupation,I bend glass!!!! YES Shakeys pizza,I grew up with one!!!!!

[@joesneon]

Hey mothman!! I am a tube bender. I have some videos on my channel.

[@reese9030]

I love all of these crazy places that you go and the odd things that you find. Keep on deploying your drone. It’s great and you are so good at it. Safe travels my friend.

[@wilmaspuppets]

The way to tell the chipmunks is Alvin always wears red and a hat, Simon (which you called Theodore) wears glasses and is the tallest. Simon is the chubby one usually on the opposite side of Simon from Alvin.

[@bg199083]

I would LOVE to go to Henry’s Rabbit Ranch since Rabbits are really cute. Can’t wait for Transworld to show up on KZbin on Friday or Saturday. 🐇🐇

The Gilding Arts Museum is about the history of the use of gold and silver leaf in architecture and decorative items. This stuff is very thin and can be challenging to work with

[@kimdugger3771]

Loving your videos! My hubby and I watch you every day you’re on. Thought I’d start checking in on my phone to give you that thumbs up! Love when you use the drone and the music!

[@estelleadamski308]

We were in Pontiac in June. We took our granddaughter and she loved sitting in the cars, a neat town. We were on a trip to complete my last 3 states to visit. NC, SC, and DE. I was thrilled to have visited all 50 states in my life!

[@Sassyjass2012]

Theodore is the chubbiest Chipmunk, and Simon is the taller one wearing glasses.

I was literally just watching your latest Disney trip again when you uploaded this... now I don't know whether to watch the next part of that series, or finish this video :D always a pleasure to get the special VIP Jacob guided tour experience of anywhereville, USA!!

Fantastic Elephant ! Doing the trip in May and I now have a new favorite destination oddity ... Great political statement ! Looking forward to the rest of the ride ! Thanks for the great vids .

[@Ali_uzair]

I wish if i could have accompanied you all the way route 66 !! 😀

[@brandirice3259]

I love watching your videos as I subscribed when you was doing "your pick a destination" a few months ago and have watched your videos daily since then. However, I do have to correct you on the chipmunks....you got Alvin right (the one in the red), however, Simon is the chipmunk in the blue and Theodore is the one in the green. Again, I love your videos and keep bringing us some great content no matter what it is!!!!

[@tomklock568]

Saw a gasoline sign as you drove for $3.99 a gallon. In my little town of Cambria CA it was $6.59 this afternoon. Yikes. Thanks so much for the videos and enjoy your look at the "unusual," so refreshing during this time. Can't wait for the rest of the journey!

Since you were in Collinsville, right by Fairview Heights, you should try Lotowata Creek. Your response to their portion sizes would have been great.

Good morning Jacob, this is the stuff on the point we want to see.Americana as it's best. Every evening it's a must to see your vlog.In this summer we are back in the US,exploring your great Nation with own roadtrips. Greatings from Germany 👍

The OG of wholesome content on KZbin just keeps the good vibes going!

[@hadie8505]

When you were naming all the bunnies names I started laughing so hard. Sounded like a talking head in the office or something.

[@freakishuproar1168]

I must confess, if nobody had told me that former police station was supposed to be pistol shaped, I wouldn't have seen anything out-of-the-ordinary with it - even with the aerial footage. But I hope you're keeping well Jacob, and you're enjoying your trip down Route 66 :D

[@marybmccormick]

Awesome day again today thanks for sharing your thoughts and trip have wonderful blessed night and day tomorrow see then have a safe trip 🙂🙂🙂 love you Mary ❤️💞😚

[@mikehughes4969]

The grave of the inspiration for Dorothy was both heartbreaking and amazing. It's sad to think that she lived less than a year, yet in a very real way, she is also immortal. You can only imagine what she'd think of the character that bears her name.

[@QueenNYC113]

I always enjoy your videos. Keep doing what you do. You ARE appreciated.

[@Dasnechla]

Aw man, I wish I knew you were coming through, I would've got you a proper horseshoe for lunch! Have fun this weekend at TW, Be sure to Stop by Froggy's booth and see if they have their scents out to sample--I went the first couple years it was in St. Lou

[@janineshaner1107]

That statue of dorothy is awesome

Man, I was going to try and make it down to St. Louis for that but I just couldn't get off work. I'm looking forward to your video on it and it's going on my bucket list for next year.

[@tinaevans6772]

Yay for Possum making an appearance!

[@dianadelahaye7660]

Yeah! Jacob has his drone out😊Great roadside attractions. I like the music!

[@Eighties-Jadie]

The artwork on those cars are amazing and the elephant metal sculpture is very unique. I never heard that story behind Dorothy before and while very sad it's nice she's honoured and remembered too. The carved statue of Dorothy and Toto is beautiful. That huge burger! 😍🍔 Looked absolutely heavenly! 🥰 Loved the big ketchup bottle and the hands sunglasses! 😂 Thanks again Jacob for making my day better and best wishes to you ☀️

This roadtrip is amazing Carpetbagger. Looking forward to Transworld to live and FOMO. To cover just two things from this video: Gilding is practice/process of laying gold leaf & gold paint, so it'd be interesting to know what their museum exhibit is. Also, Amazon actually has Brooks Rich & Tangy available to order, it doesn't have that cool bulk script lettering as the giant bottle though.

Alvin has the A, Simon is smart so he has the Glasses, Theodore is Thicc so he is the chubby one. That is how you remember the chipmunks.

[@scottslagle9625]

Love all your travel videos! Do you plan out where you stop along Route 66 beforehand or do you just drive and stop randomly?

[@reese9030]

I am wondering the same thing. Jacob always blows me away with all of the off the wall places he visits.

[@mothership9188]

❤ I enjoy your vlogs. After a long day it is nice to be able to put on one of your videos and relax. As a child we used to go on short trips to road side attractions, especially in the summer with my cousin. Since he and my parents have passed you are a great way to reconnect with those memories. Have you ever visited Big Brutus?
