What Did I Do Before Starting YouTube - Places I Worked & Lived in Central Florida / Previous Jobs

[@TheDailyWoo]

Instagram - AdamTheWooATW Did something similar to this a few years ago but it’s always good to revisit and share memories . Don’t forget your roots

[@peacelove6817]

Thank you for taking us with you on your journeys. It’s fun to hear your stories. I shall join you...😊

[@theirishhammer9108]

It's our past that helps propel us in to our future. Growing up poor myself, I made decisions in my high school days that I was not going to live that way when I got older. I joined the Air Force at 18 and never looked back. However, not having money, nice clothes, etc., taught me alot and help propel me to where I am today! I frequently go back and look at my old houses and neighborhoods.

[@TheRealAwesomePossum]

Don't forget your Woots

[@Haziesmom2023]

Oh this was Wonderful, Adam!! Like I've told you before, I was raised around this area and you are constantly bringing back memories to me, also!!! I wish that I could have taken more photos even back then. It's so funny, when hubby and I married, we never even figured we'd ever see the year 2000!!!! And we would be 50--shocker---that would never happen. Haha, the joke was on us! We imagined Flying Cars and scenes from the Jetsons. LOL! Didn't exactly turn out that way!!! :D Now we're in our 70's and it's so wonderful to look back and remember home. Thanks so much!

[@steveshortridge6255]

I dig where your coming from adam looking forward to the next one !

[@chadbaxter5578]

Adam, you know you are a good KZbinr whenever you can captivate over 500,000 subscribers but I would say a good 98% of us have never met you. And you can show us where you grew up where you worked and we stay tuned until the very end. You have a great job you are very blessed man. Thank you for sharing some of your life with us.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Very nice of you to say . Thank you

[@fatesw1]

I second this! I enjoy leaving my life for a moment every day. Adam has had similar adventures in retail, music, being a nomad & randomness. Love every moment.

[@Haziesmom2023]

Yes, we would have loved to do what you do, but we were always concerned about what people would say to us and about us , youngsters. Our church crowd, wouldn't have really loved it.....it's just the way it was back then...lol.... But, you were brave, you persevered! Kudos to you, Adam!!!

[@NicholasTranscends]

A lot of people are stuck currently where you were in your younger years broke and stuck . It’s feels really good to reflect and focus on our current situation and success while reflecting in now.

[@poony1]

Great message at the end. Always follow your dream. My mom used to say video games were a waste of time, and now I’m almost 20 years into a career in my childhood hobby. Believe in yourself!

[@its_me_jen_jen9204]

Your storytelling abilities are a skill and a talent. I’m so glad you can pay the bills while doing what you love.

[@andierob]

It’s rare we can find something we love to do and get paid for it. Happy for you and glad you’re here on You tube Adam. Had many laughs watching your videos and especially the Disney vlogs. Found out about you while watching Tim Tracker and then you made an appearance on Fresh Baked and those were the only two You tube channels I watched so thought it was so cool you were friends with both of them. I wish you continued success this year and beyond 👍🏻

Adam so nice to revisit once again the many places you’ve worked I have seen them before in other videos and I will say they never get old also you have come a long way since starting KZbin you have traveled the country and seen and documented so many historical places and you have shown traveling the backroads a lot of old nostalgia and had large marge to sleep in and something I miss dearly the majestic and not to mention I also remember your van so yes you’ve covered a lot of ground in your time and I’ve been so blessed to have been there every step of the way learning so much so thank for all the great adventures through this great country of ours so with that peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next vlog adventure also please be safe out there

I’m a recent subscriber-enjoying your channel! Nice to get the condensed retrospective. Funny how life unfolds and we arrive at the thing we were meant to do all along. I’m a full time musician (composers/bassist) and it took so long to build up my career through the decades. So glad you are doing what you’re doing now, I guess the saying is true “you’ll be great at what you love”. Btw, my ears perked up when you mentioned being a bass player! You definitely have that supportive aspect to your personality. Keep up the good work!

[@ronturner5560]

Adam, thankyou for sharing yourself with the world, you fill a gap in my sometimes mundane life and I'm sure the life of many others.

This video is awesome. Very interesting that you added more to the story as we revisit some of these places with you. I just realized that we may have crossed each other yesterday. I was driving down 192 from Medieval Times to Orange World.

Totally sold on your humbleness and honesty. Earned some points with me I will say. Good luck in 2021.

Hi Adam. I love watching your videos, its definitely a guilty pleasure! The way you make your videos is like walking round with a friend. Keep up the good work. Im from the UK 🇬🇧

[@rexnewcombe8337]

Adam it is such a great privilege to see you share where you worked and grew up. I sometimes go past where I lived to see the difference in the first house my dad built. I also like to talk to inanimate objects especially when I work with my Lego projects. Thanks for making my days when I get to join you, and I look forward to joining you on your next adventure.

Very cool to see your history and how you got where you are today! You definitely made the right decision, could use something like that in my life!!

[@justmy2cents1]

I know I've said this before, have been watching Adam for years. First saw when you were doing the mansions and run down buildings, famous or not, and allowing us to discover right along with you the history of our country. That is what I love most, but all the other that you do is just as good and interesting. From the rides at Disneyland to where Bonnie and Clyde were shot and died, you make it all so very exciting, fun and full of factual information. Still looking forward to my Sunday's with Adam.

[@sharoncampbell4904]

Yes, nothing like being your own boss. I took the leap in 1989 and never looked back. I shudder thinking of the jobs I had before that decision. Thanks for the sharing, I wondered what you and others on KZbin did before this endeavor. Good luck..

[@bobcuster8930]

Adam wrote: "Don’t forget your roots" -- Exactly! Nostalgia is a powerful yet unseen thing that affects us all. This vlog is a fine and interesting trip you shared with us about your past times. For no solid reason, my wife and I have journeyed many times to the site of where we met, working together in 1977--at the old location of a daily newspaper facility in Fullerton, California...This daily was a fine newspaper with a long history, that was sadly sold off, and became a weekly throw away in 1984... Later the main editorial office and the huge press plant became a large defense industry office...Then in about 2013, this cool building, built in 1962, was knocked down to build high priced condominiums. We have sat there on Valencia Avenue in our car, looking at the familiar yet far different location where we once worked as virtual children--me a young photographer, she was a young CSUF graduate, and a newly minted city reporter--and we wonder aloud where the 43+ years have disappeared to...

[@RedSox8385]

That’s so wild you used to work at the Winn Dixie in St.Cloud, my mom used to be a assistant manager for that store, was my very first job as well back in 03 haha. Kissimmee used to be my home for about 15 years or so, great seeing how much it has grown!

Brings back nostalgia from the earlier Adam the Woo days on KZbin because I remember a few of your older videos talking about living in Florida and what you were doing before KZbin. I felt like I was reminiscing with you while watching this! I remember finding you on here not long after you got started by looking up videos on abandoned places :)

[@jenn527]

Thank you for sharing your old stomping grounds. I have also heard you say several times to go for what you want to do, I really should take that advice. I've been wanting to YT for awhile, but never take the full plunge. I have a few videos up, but nothing overly exciting, nor do they feature moi. Maybe 2021 is that time.

[@bobbyhand1]

MEMORIES...Thanks ATW ! These vlogs about your life are very interesting. A lot of people don't realize that you are a real human being with real life memories and feelings and a life before KZbin. I've read a lot of comments here. Most positive, some really terrible from people who are ugly inside and hate themselves. I don't know how you do it. How do you keep from anger when someone trashes you? To quote my father "You're a good man, Charlie Brown". Thanks again for not being negative! You are a "Hero" to many.

New to your channel you do an outstanding job. My Family moved to that area Kissimmee Florida in 1976. We only stayed one year before returning to New York. It is absolutely amazing how much the area has grown. I believe back in those days many of the residential streets of St. Cloud were dirt roads as my buddy Larry who had a brand new Chevy Nova.( also a northern kid whose family relocated south) He was a maniac driver sliding sideways on those dirt roads. I believe he had ambitions of a career as a Hollywood Stunt Man. There was an area at Disney World my siblings and friends would frequent often more than once a week was "River Country" I, Richard was sad to hear had closed down many years ago. Best Regards

[@Terryh681]

Very interesting watching your videos, and this one in particular, because it is my old stomping grounds. Left Illinois to go to Florida in 1986, and worked at Disney 6 years. I lived for awhile in Kissimmee used to make that busy drive down 192 to work at Disney. I remember hanging out at the one dollar movie theatre in the old downtown part of town. I used to love to hang out at the arcade in "Old town" where they used to sell 5 cent cokes, and had lots of crazy thrill rides. I see the big orange gift shop is still there. Fun times, good memories.

[@TommyTravels]

It must be pretty wild to think about the Adam from back then having no idea about the amazing travels and adventures that were in his near future. Very cool!
