Day Trip to Big Spring ⛲️ (FULL EPISODE) S14 E11

[@OtherSarah2]

i toured the Settles in '87, while working for the Herald. It was a wreck. The results of the renovation are awesome.

[@ryandanford5289]

This was an awesome episode Chet. My dad is born and raised in Big Spring, and the only time I ever saw that hotel was in shambles. Kinda showed me some heritage stuff I didnt know about.

[@paxpax23]

I love big Spring. I stayed at the settles hotel one time. One of the funniest things about staying there when you wake up in the middle of the night and you have to go to the bathroom and you look outside and you see the windmills out there you see a bunch of little blinking lights. it’s the funniest thing in America. It’s hidden.

[@KarenThibeault-qo5dj]

As a born-and-raised "Big Springer," I loved every minute of this episode. It was asked if anything was missed... if time had allowed it would have been great to see the Municipal Auditorium, the amphitheater, and our poinsettias. Thank you for highlighting the positives of Big Spring! (P.S. Tacos are folded, and burritos are rolled 😉).

[@ontiveros7896]

Can you go swimming in the rivers in big spring? Or where would you recommend? I’m staying in west Odessa, somewhere close by please

[@StephanieVelaAnderson]

Grew up here and I’m glad you focused on the most beautiful and humble parts.

[@jaydenroberts8326]

Hell yeahhhh my two brothers are in this episode!! 23:53 So proud of them!!

[@rkmatt8761]

They are the chefs? If so sounds like they have a great talent for cooking!

[@angelasolis8501]

My home town! Very well done team. Thanks for highlighting so much of the rich history. Glad to see you ended your time in the Pharmacy Bar at the Hotel Settles.

[@WilliamCooper-l6f]

I'm happy to see you are still documenting how Texas is, because I'm convinced this will all go away and we will only have these videos to remember how good it once was. You should do a Then and Now price comparison show. Go to your first restaurants and compare the prices and portions to today, then calculate the inflation of each and then the overall inflation. Myself, I haven't eaten out in over a year, because I don't agree with the prices. Even Subway and Dairy Queen are ridiculously high. Nope, not me, not any more, I cook at home. Be blessed.

[@dobermanlover1000]

Born and raised here...and will die here. I love my little hometown. It's not the bustling town it was when Webb AFB was here, but it's still home.

BSHS class of 71. I think it was the largest class to graduate/ over 500. Miss the wonderful way I grew up!

Were you a Air Force brat? I was and your name sounds very familiar, I would have been BSHS Class of 72.

@@jfsnyder15 nope! My sister Patricia Hicks was in your class. She married one of those airmen our mother warned us about! Hicks was our maiden name.

I love west Texas. It's so beautiful out there. My aunt and uncle lived in Bronte not too far from Big Spring and it blew my mind every time we went out there. Thanks as usual for bringing Texas to us :)

Now we're booking a room at the Hotel Settles.

[@mg5622]

One of the best episodes,I love Texas!!!

[@RJBlankenship]

I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting my hometown through this episode. We moved to DFW after my father (who worked at Cosden) died. I love to go home every chance I get.

[@deniselove1585]

@@RJBlankenship my Dad worked there, too! He worked on the cat cracker, and was a pump mechanic. Remember the explosions? Pretty scary if your Dad was working there.

[@RJBlankenship]

Oh my gosh, how I remember the explosions and wondering if Dad was ok. I was always so relieved when he would come home.

Moving from WA to TX, my son and I stopped in at Settles for chicken fried steak. So good! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@robynbaeza5292]

I was born and raised in Big Spring. I could not wait to leave that place. Once the Air base closed down it was never the same. I now live in the beautiful Texas Hill Country and can not see myself ever going back to West Texas

[@mrandmrs.p3635]

Smart move. We live in Midland currently for my spouses job and can't wait to get back to the Hill Country-where we are from and family is.

The Air Force base being there and going to school with the Air Force brats is why 3 of us in my family joined and retired from the service. I now live in NE Texas because I needed the real tall trees to enjoy.

[@ShuliIsAHack]

Do you know the famous Kandi Klanton and KKK Computers?

[@bridgetgraves1032]

This was really good. I grew up in Big Spring (BSHS '83) and back then, the Settles was just a place for kids to explore at night and throw bricks off the roof onto the street below. I do remember going to the cafe in the 'bad old Settles' with my dad before the hotel finally closed, it was a dump at that point. I remember Brint from high school, looks like he did okay. I've not been back to Big Spring in decades but who knows, maybe someday!

[@Sebastian-hi9te]

John Voight's "Midnight Cowboy" was filmed in Big Spring

[@tonyb4607]

Good show y'all. I stopped there once and had no idea they had all of this . Can't wait to go back because of you.

[@YukonGhibli]

Great episode as always. As an aside, there is a Big Springs in East Texas; much smaller little town but with the S.

[@ShuliIsAHack]

The town where Clay Dougkaa Wears a yellow speedo!

I used to live there , it was a nice place to live. I would go back if I could

[@zanepetty7854]

Take your passenger to Guadalupe Peak. Push him. See if falls or tumbles.

[@rkmatt8761]

My hometown. I heard you were here from the park ranger I kept looking for this episode. Yea Big Spring has failed to bring back the downtown unfortunately! I also was updated that the state is going to take the top off of the cave in the park but put a protective barrier around it but make it available For the bats. I’m interested to when that’s gonna happen. Another Great job on an episode. Stay safe stay healthy

[@markbryan8031]

The actual Big Spring is located on some ranch land close to Moss Lake. As of about 20 years ago it was still flowing out of the rocks.

[@baytownbert2]

I like seeing the crew.

[@liveincolor3793]

Glad google put this on my feed. Live in BigSpring, you should have stopped at Tio Lenchos.

[@ScottSmiths-zp6sl]

Big Spring. A town with so much potential but no one to care for her. Lived there for 7 years and just left, the people don't care, and the politicians are insane, and the people who do care, although they try, there's just not enough.

[@mrandmrs.p3635]

Yep, nobody gives a rats rear.

[@honey4boo1013]

I lived there a year and left a month ago. People are so different there. And not in a good way. Was just not a happy place to live in my opinion.

​@@honey4boo1013different how? I've lived here my whole life it's hard to compare it to other places.

[@Ian23416]

⁠@@truthjunkie63Same, I don’t really see the problem with Big Spring? Was born and raised here my entire life and the community is great, wonderful town spirit, and as long as you live in the right areas it is a safe place to live.

[@danbgt]

Booo. A guy doing videos on Texas that doesn’t know the difference between a burrito and a taco? (Maybe should stick with gumbo and jambalaya) And doesn’t seem to know the Davis Mountains are in Texas? And does a video on Big Spring and doesn’t mention the oldest Harley-Davidson dealership in Texas is there? I’ll pass on this channel.
