[@TheDailyWoo]

Instagram- AdamTheWooATW Ive accomplished my goal of starting off 2022 with a seven week road trip . Been out since New Year’s Day on the road , time to start a plan to get back to Florida for a little while . Hopefully be home in a couple days , still gonna film the rest of trek

[@Mrcruisefever1]

Safe travels back to central Florida

[@Ivan-bf1jm]

A German in Venice in Charlotte??? That was funny 🤣

[@bigdaddy28173]

I guess you don’t check your messages. But anyway be careful headed to florida

[@noreenn6976]

Thanks for taking us along Adam. It's been fun to see you in my neck of the woods.

[@mark8411]

Make it to Winston Salem. You won’t regret it.

[@scotth1042]

Adam - First off I'm a long-time viewer and fan. Love your channel! I'm also a Charlotte native, born and bred! Just a couple of facts to compliment your video: -The first sign you showed was for The Chicken King, which used to have a killer lunch. -The clock tower in front of the Wells Fargo tower was completed in 1988. -The Dairy Queen and Eskimo Girl have been there on Wilkinson Blvd. since 1947. Thanks for showcasing Charlotte! It was so cool to see my hometown on your channel! Welcome to the Queen City and the Tarheel State!

Where was that Chicken King located?

As much as I go to Charlotte (going to IKEA today actually!) I never realized how interesting it was until now. You have the gift of turning simple things into wonder. You’re channel has turned into our favorite over these last few weeks, and we appreciate your perspective. You deserve a much needed break when you get home to Florida! God speed ATW, and praying you stay safe🙏🏼

[@sparkleighann7282]

I feel the same!!

[@muthergoose4084]

I absolutely love this partnership with Scott. This trip has been hands down my favorite and best work that you have done. I wish you would keep heading north. You rock Mr. Woo!

[@donnastedham9822]

It has been so much fun traveling with you and Scott this week. Thanks for great videos,

[@WanderIndiana]

I love these random rambles. Doesn’t matter where you go, you always find something interesting. Thanks! Hope you guys are having half as much fun as we are watching the adventures.

[@sc0628]

Omg Scott is a trip! Love him! Our generation is so freaking awesome! (Gen X of course). Xoxo

[@elizabethmckenna5397]

When my son and his family lived in Florida, I almost always had to get a connecting flight in Charlotte. I could see the city skyline when landing and taking off from the airport. How nice to see bits of the city after seeing it from the air for a few years. Adam and Scott, I wish you both safe travels back to your respective homes as I’ve read this collaboration will be ending soon. I really hope you two get together on occasion and do some filming. This has been such a treat. I’d love to see Adam showing Scott around Florida and likewise Scott showing Adam around Canada.

[@amanaarendall5993]

Great idea!

[@traceytrotter9934]

Ogden Nash is a poet. One of his famous poems is The Cow. It goes like this. "The cow is of the bovine ilk; one end is moo, the other milk."

[@chrisreader]

Yes, many of the miles signs in that park are dedicated to poets and authors. That park is all about literature.

[@NadaSurferTube]

This was another fun one, I loved all of it, and as these collabs with Scott on Tape wind down for now, I truly hope this is not the last we all see if this dynamic duo. :) Also I don't think Ive ever had an Orange Julius outside of a mall. One might even call that Dairy Queen an "autonomous unit for mid-town snacking". 😂. Ah im such a dork. I'll see myself out. Lol cheers

[@tonydynot]

Sidenote = Adam, this start to the year has been legendary. Really appreciate the work you're putting in. Tons of fun. Shout out to Scott on Tape, too. He's been a fun co-conspirator. You deserve the rest coming your way. Dig it.

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

OK I gotta admit that the "German in Venice" impression killed me. So unexpected and funny.

[@bjornemccomb8262]

Great Scott!!!!! Alright!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 this is my favorite set of vids with Scott…I knew you guys would vibe, y’all are so funny and cool together 😎

[@wyldeslash2003]

9:38 i laughed so hard!! hahah good call back ! scott and adam are a great duo!

[@JUDYDAK]

This brought such laughter to my day. Your video's are so well done and though you may think it was just a random day of nothing, the knowledge you have given us today will be forever planted in my noggin! Thank you again and keep up the video's!

[@keithmabe6015]

Thank you Adam...

[@GettingOutInLife]

Creative Loafer - I like that job title. Who knew that filming and stating the obvious could be such a lucrative career. Where do I sign up? From my understanding, those objects on top of the building had nothing to do with the weather. Those are microwave antennas. Back in the day, long distance calls were handled through such a system. That is why those calls were so expensive. I’m sure those antennas are still in use for one reason or another.

[@kriztinaheckert5085]

Man, I wish I’d run into ya. My dad and I would have loved to buy you a meal

[@misterbacon4933]

Very nice to see the chemistry with Adam and Scott! I really enjoy it!

[@beachcaving]

Thank you, Adam The Woo Dude! You are looking good! Your lifestyle changes have rubbed off on my fam and we are grateful!

[@trishagail353]

🤣🤣🤣 "We're not getting an apartment together." Best laugh of the day!! Thanks for the Charlotte tour! I don't go to Charlotte anymore, can't deal with the traffic..lol

[@Chaotic-Demise77]

Yes, traffic is horrendous there. 485 was supposed to help with that, when it actually got worse. I remember when the made another lane and traffic would still get backed up (thanks to the Ballantyne area). I did part time work at a studio in Belmont a few years back and dreaded the traffic on 485. The more populated it gets, the traffic will only get worse.

Scott should go to Disney with you! Visit the Canada pavilion 🇨🇦 etc etc

[@skippermatt7939]

There's another feature of that parking garage. If you hit the panels in a certain order it will play music and perform a light show. I believe there's a plaque nearby with clues, but it obviously works much better at night.

[@tammyritter9258]

This has been a very Unique Informative Interesting Highly Amusing at times and sad at other times Trek . I sincerely appreciate ALL that you do to release the highest quality of video to us. You Are Amazing in every way . I hope your Family is Doing Well Have a Safe Trip back to your Home I'm certain that you've been missed in Celebration Fla. Tammy in PA

[@carolmchargue7746]

Enjoyed this so much. You and Scott make it fun for all of us.

Charlotte has never been on my road trip radar, but it is now. It's going to be sad when this trip is over. We've enjoyed the heck out of every video. Thanks for having Scott along with you. He's great on camera. I definitely subbed to his channel.

[@Mr.Thrasha]

PIPING HOT CAFFEINATED BEVERAGE procured, it's time for WOO AND SCOTT!!!

[@kevinconaway1727]

Really enjoying these tours Adam, sometimes to just have no plan is good, you certainly won't loose Scott in those shoes 😊

[@_Johnspike_]

Charlotte NC has so much history in it. Good job on covering the stuff that is overlooked by so many ppl.

[@joman66]

Awwww shoot so would've geeked out to see you around Charlotte yesterday haha. Glad you had fun in ole CLT.

Adam, you and “ScottonTape” are good 👍 together! It’s been fun to watch these videos! Today was great in Charlotte, NC!

Outside of Justin, Scott is one of the best of Adam's collaborations. I seen Adam laugh this much in the past week with Scott in a while.

✌🕶are those petunias? 🤣 hahaaa creative loafing

[@travelingRonman]

I lived in Charlotte for 7 years. That shiny thing outside the art museum is affectionally known as the disco chicken. Its actually a bird like creature sitting on an arch but it looks like it has long legs and wearing disco pants. Its Charlottes most famous icon. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Adam.

[@saguaro2231]

When I saw it, a few years ago.....my impression was that it is a Phoenix bird..... the city has a wonderful modern art museum

[@TheSWolfe]

My 1st impression was of a disco cockatoo on it's shiny perch.

This was really cool. I love oddities. I'd be just as fascinated. Nice work.

[@LadyDragonsblood]

Love it! I am currently binge watching Scott's true crime videos....so this is a VERY welcome. fun respite! I know you get tired of me saying this, Adam, but you would make a damn WONDERFUL history teacher! You would be the cool teacher that makes the class laugh, and might even dress up for certain lectures!

Adam also in Ashville NC a recording studio has a HUGE mural of Chris Cornell on the side of the building.

They chose Ogden and Nash because of Ogden Nash, the famous poet of humorous verse! Zane Grey wrote many Western novels!

You guys are a riot. I've been on the trip since day one. I start out every morning with my coffee. I gotta say, the meet ups with other camera operators stating the obvious is pretty cool

[@davidwatts4517]

The Books Park you were in has geographic signposts for Ogden, Utah, and Nash, OK. Ogden Nash was a famous American poet. That's why that marker was there, as a kind of a joke.

[@JeffFrmJoisey]

The "Weather Devices" are Microwave Communications Equipment placed there to transmit pone calls and television signals between towers that were miles apart. The tan building they're on is/was a telephone switching center.

That is one weeeeird movie. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.

[@sherrirobbins1344]

Love it...Just a head's up...if you go to a coffee shop, ask for a Blonde coffee, A Blonde Roast has more caffeine. Ask for a shot or two of Esppresso...and see if you do not go to the Moon and back. I am no blondie,,,but a Cherokee, yet I have heard the lighter the roast of the beans, the more caffeine. is concentrated. YES,,,THE QUEEN CITY...I am in the process of writing a novel about it. I used to order all kinds of beans from the Net and grind them myself with an Amish-made grinder, and it was awesome...nothing co pares to the taste, and if you are seeking effects from caffeine, nothing compares to that. I have even thought about wruting a TV series script called ''Queen City''.

[@sherrirobbins1344]

Just finished chapter 3 of The Queen City of my novel...I have serious brain fog. I guess I need one if those ''piping hot caffeinated beverages'' from...SOMEWHERE. Honestly...where does Adam the Woo get all his energy? It cannot all be from coffee. If it were, I would be sailing in mid air right now.

[@Chaotic-Demise77]

Hey Adam, something else I forgot to mention, if you took hwy 74 west going into Charlotte, you would've passed the Charlotte Coliseum (dome top), can't remember the exit number but, to the right is one of the T.V station (WJZY I think). Old Charlotte Hwy/7th St. run parallel with hwy 74. I used to live off Old Charlotte Hwy. If you head back east on 74, check out Monroe. It has a lot of historic homes (I used to live in one of them). There's the old Manetta Mills in Monroe (it used to be a textile mill til the mid 80's, it's a ghetto now sadly). It's cool to know you & Scott are on my old stomping grounds. Hope you 2 have fun, enjoy your visit & journey! Welcome to Charlotte, N.C!

[@annegallagher4005]

[@mikejaxn]

"You don't see these anymore..." haha, reminded me of the George Harrison scene in Hard Day's Night when he's in the production office. Charlotte is an intriguing city, but downtown is very strange as it doesn't have a lot of nightlife or people out and about (even pre-pandemic). Started going to Charlotte in the mid-80s, and each time I go back it seems like it has sprawled out a little bit more - like a miniature Houston.

[@DieselSgrass]

The 17-foot-tall, 1,433-pound Firebird, hand-decorated with over 7,500 pieces of mirrored and colored glass, stands in front of the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art. It's supposed to be a representation of the Phoenix of Greek mythology, reflecting rebirth and renewal.
