Day Trip to Conroe 🐺 (FULL EPISODE) S8 E4

[@Judypie2]

I’ve lived in Conroe Texas since 1977. All of my grandchildren were born here. I really enjoyed the video. I didn’t know there were things in there that you brought out like the wolf farm and the story the flags. Thank you very much for visiting our little big town.

[@DaeguDown]

Wolf farm was in Magnolia, I thought he said.

[@toddhomman2569]

I am the current Flagmaster for The Lone Star Monument and Historical Flag Park, thank you for sharing the amazing Flag Park for everyone to see. For everyone else, come on by and see and learn our incredible Republic of Texas history.

[@TheDaytripper]

Super cool park. Love it.

[@damienthetexasian6827]

In TX history they taught us how to remember how to fly the flag. "Blood runs down", to remind u that the red is on bottom.

[@gumersindogomez1393]

Thanks for what you do, it keeps me smiling and Texas in my heart. It takes me back to my youth and I remember so many of the places you visit. Born and raised Howard county . Hi from Montana

[@BAMtastico]

Retired to Montgomery this year, with a glimpse of Lake Conroe from my home. After many years in Florida, Massachusetts, and Mexico, I'm enjoying the the feel of the Conroe/Montgomery area. Same county as The Woodlands, but a world away. I often drive past Vernon's and will definitely will stop for the catfish and crawfish.

[@Swoop180]

Conroe, Texas is where my ex resides and i avoid like the plague!

[@cameraman655]

LOL…😆👍I have a few of those places on the map, but Conroe ain't one of ‘em…

[@Gypsybayoupirate]

buwahahahahahah

[@lollypoplex0510]

I was born and raised in Conroe for half of my life, I loved it there and miss it ao much. It was a great place and all around it has been expanding a lot in the last few years

[@Spacecadet0720]

You’ll be glad to know how much it’s growing and improving

[@lollypoplex0510]

​@Spacecadet0720 my family's in Montgomery County and just going down to visit recently for a funeral theirs stop lights all down the street leading to their house and several subdivisions going in. I'm glad it's finally getting some love

[@DaeguDown]

Candy Cane Park is fantastic. As well as their Parks and Rec team for having a city sponsored youth swim and dive teams. Go Rattlesnakes!

[@rickovsky980]

Great video! loved all the coverage on Vernons Kuntry Katfish!

[@case139]

Good to see the Houston area with a catfish place worth trying. My next time in Conroe, I've got to give Vernon's a try. That shrimp looked huge!

[@t2t0k3d]

this feels so surreal to finally see my town getting recognition. we truly are just seen as a pass through town loll. we do offer some cool things if you have a good community!!

[@ConroesBest]

I love Vernon's. They do a good job at cateering also. Was so glad to see it made it through the lockdowns.

[@joshanderson3640]

The fact anyone in Tx obeyed lockdowns breaks my freedom loving heart

[@Bandit_iso]

Thanks for coming over!

[@AnthonysBBQ]

Yup, I ate at both those places, and you can't go wrong with either. Great edit.

[@thepreston1021]

I've been to Red Brick Tavern, it was really good. I have never thought about going to Vernon's but I am looking forward to it now

[@pnotuner1]

You have to go up to the north end of Lake Conroe for the natural experience. Cagel National Park is my preferred launch

[@ChrisVanWorth]

Day trippin in Cornroe

[@leslierayburn1910]

Lived in Conroe for several years & Vernon’s Catfish had the best burgers & fries!! Yum!

[@russellterral29]

Served at the Army Reserve unit over at the airport for 8 years. Passed by Vernon's many times and didn't know much about it. Now I will have to go.

[@lollypoplex0510]

Rewatching the video 😂 i love seeing my home town. I rememver going to that museaum and having ao much fun on the hands on part

[@debralane2175]

❤❤❤ my Mom and Brother and his family lives there

[@GuessWho1]

I am born and raised in Conroe Texas. 😊❤

[@James-dw8kl]

Im 73 born and raised in Montgomery county

[@corbinbates2708]

Yup live here in Conroe and it does have its bonuses

[@e7yu]

I never new there was a wolf sanctuary there.

[@conordugan3305]

It's actually really cool. My kids love to go and watch them howl.

[@lollypoplex0510]

Neither did I, that would be something fun to take my younger cousins to

[@irenesosa8751]

Knew

[@streetsmartintelligent]

VERNONS CATFISH, USED to be the best, when the dad was around with its nice portion sizes, thick fillets, now: its super thin filets, like fried fish jerky & very small portions😢 Vernons used to cater to the veterans at the every Wednesday meetings in Conroe & we ALWAYS had to go somewhere else afterwards to eat. The place you "should" showcase if back in the area is: Magnolia Diner in old magnolia on FM 1488. The best huge fresh catfish thick fillets, with all the trimmings! They did have Fridays nights ALL you can eat catfish but it was sooooo popular i think they saw people could really put their catfish away. When you order the 3 piece catfish dinner, at first you think thats not enough fish, but wait till you see how big they are.

[@sergiodavila5269]

I live between Spring & Conroe on 99, and you’ve set forth some great knowledge on me 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

[@lindaleslie5634]

L👀ks like soooo much fun‼️ 🙋‍♀️💖🇨🇱

[@SpaceCityProjectz]

Downtown Conroe and South congress in austin are the 2 coolest places in Texas

[@davidbayer9714]

Yes Paul and i went here and paul threw up in the car after having spicy Mexican food 😂

[@stevendudley5687]

My grandma and grandpa used to live in Conroe

[@jefftaggart7444]

You didn't mention the largest inland water boat in Texas is on lake Conroe named the Southern Empress Sternwheeler 1880s replica paddlewheel

[@tonycrabtree3416]

Kuntry Katfish is awesome...

[@sandrashackelford2287]

The birthplace of the flag is Montgomery The wolf sanctuary is in Macgomery also

[@toddhomman2569]

Dr. Stewart actually lived closer to Conroe BUT who's counting, we love him for creating our BEAUTIFUL Lone Star Flag! GOD bless Dr. Stewart and GOD Bless The Republic of Texas!

[@conordugan3305]

Conroe isn't the birthplace of our flag, that would be Montgomery.

[@sandrashackelford2287]

I was thinking the same thing. And the wolf sanctuary is in Montgomery

[@texasforever1974]

Montgomery county is the birthplace of our flag. Encanto is the capital.

[@toddhomman2569]

Dr. Stewart actually lived closer to Conroe BUT who's counting, we love him for creating our BEAUTIFUL Lone Star Flag! GOD bless Dr. Stewart and GOD Bless The Republic of Texas!

[@conordugan3305]

@toddhomman2569 fair enough, it's like telling someone from Dallas the cowboys actually play in Arlington.

[@toddhomman2569]

@@conordugan3305 LOL so very true!

[@kikesantos2854]

What's with the dude in the photo stand-in? LOL 5:55

[@saremile]

Lol that's a lil creepy

[@airgunfun4248]

COOL

[@matthewdye6502]

That was old Vernon's lol!

[@justaskjason2654]

RIP Buster Bowers what a good dude

[@CarolanneTitmus-Greene]

Vernons has been open for a lot longer than 30 years.

[@DaeguDown]

This episode filming was done 7 years ago?

[@TheDaytripper]

Yep. We've been on PBS for 15 years. So all of this is our old content from television. But it seems like most folks aren't watching TV anymore. Including you. So here you go.

[@anonymous_onyx8015]

You need to come back to Conroe there’s three more places you need to visit a place called dragon bowl c kofe num pang and a winery called b&e it was originally opened up by three retired Conroe police officers and one of the officers still owns it the other two went off to do their own things one of them went off to be security for nasa

[@LeRoy101]

Shouts out to Vernon's!!

[@angelogarza6394]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gaycale5563]

Try Vernons Bar B Que. MUCH better that Vernon's Catfish and seafood, IMO. McKenzies Bar B Que and Joes Italian on Frazier are great also.

[@DaeguDown]

Joe's Italian has great Alfredo and their pizzas are great. Not their actual entrees though. Very bland.

[@Floydian4everr]

Is the sun really bright IN your truck? Why yhe big cartoon hat INDOORS? Grew up in East Montgomery County and I just didn't get it, is it like a pacifier? Used to go water skiing in Lake Conroe ALL the time

[@WaynJul]

I want fried catfish now. I hate you. Go visit Kb's BBQ in Victoria . The have some of the best food.

[@Richard.m1192]

Sadly Conroe is a split city, depends on what side of the highway your on.

[@zracrental7466]

Check out the breweries

[@DaeguDown]

B-52 is legit.

[@noblelee4765]

Mythology 101

[@laurenhendrix625]

No!!! Conroe is NOT the birthplace of the Texas flag. Montgomery, just 15 minutes west of Conroe is.

[@DaeguDown]

Maybe 15 minutes with no traffic on 105.

[@lowestrawberry]

conroe is not the birthplace of the texas flag, montgomery is, not far from conroe 👍🏻

[@mikeswick6473]

How old is this Busters been dead a few years

[@Beemer1986]

2017 IIRC

[@Him-of-course]

Conroe tx is where I was born but as of late it’s been getting awfully ghettoish
