I grew up in Shawano and my parents used to take us to Cecil to ride go-karts. There used to a be a nice little track there, but I think it's gone now. This was back in the 90's.

[@stanleyjohnson2860]

if there was a comedy club there it would be next to the elbow room and called the funny bone

[@jamesrockford6700]

Sightseeing Sally and the man of knowledge Marty's videos are the best......... I love these two!!!!!

[@JohnShinn1960]

2:00 But only after you ran over the rubber hose that would ring a bell. Time flies, remember not long ago when firemen rode on the back of the fire engine? Thanks for the tour you two! 🤠👍

[@janesturtevant1516]

Bonduel and Cecil WI. I have driven through those places thousands of times in my 68 years. The Dairy Cove is my most favorite place! Love the Washington Inn also. It all tastes of summer😄

[@00barbon]

Hey guys. There is a house in Clear Lake , Wi called the Taylor house. It is modeled after Andy Griffith home on the TV show. The whole surrounding area is modeled after Mayberry. Hope y'all got my postcard. 😂❤

[@fredohnemus7685]

Here in Quincy Il. we have a shoe repair shop. Boyers. First rate place. We don't have a lake, but we got the mighty Mississippi flowing by below the bluffs. Two other things we don't lack, churches and taverns. We also have many old historical homes, typical of old river towns. We even have a castle. Quincy has many parks also. Quincy has a very rich history, one being one of the sites that Lincoln and Douglas debated in back in1858.

[@51Lorie]

Thanks, Sally and Marty for another interesting video! Rock on, Cecil!

[@AmericanExplorer]

Hey Sally! That was a neat old Shell station! Being green and white, I thought it might have been a Sinclair station. Their colors were green and white too. I loved the old architecture of the building with the Elbow Room in it. It's always cool to see those windows with the arched tops still in existence or not bricked over. I think Marty was right about the fire station bell. It was undoubtedly in the old fire station. I'm glad they kept it. I love second hand stores! It's like going on a treasure hunt. You never know what you'll find! Too bad that one was closed when you were there. The Marty-burger looked so good! You said it was the best burger ever and it looks it! I could seriously chow down with at least two of those! Very cool old Thunderbird at 17:05! That's about a '78 and looks like a good project car. The last shoe repair shop closed in my town in North Georgia years ago. It was run by an older gentlemen at the time and he was really good. He repaired my dress shoes and did a fantastic job. I'm like you about cemeteries. As you said, those that have gone on don't care. I was raised to respect the place of the dead, and that includes keeping it up. I wish a group of volunteers would trim what needed trimming, fill in the collapsed graves, straightening leaning headstones, and whatever else needed doing. It's a place for families to remember their loved ones that have passed on and also part of the local heritage. I really enjoyed the tour Sally! I love these small towns on backroads. And that hot fudge sundae with salted caramel looked awesome! Thanks for sharing your trip!

[@rodney4917]

Cecil was served by the old C&NW RR line ran between Eland and Green Bay. Passenger train service on that rail line was abandoned many years ago.

[@toyo1267]

I wondered what kept a small town like Cecil going, now I know, all the bars. Thanks for the humorous visit to another small. Best to you both, Lynn & Steve. PS glad to see you got some ice cream, yummy!

[@Steve-ow4jt]

I loved the video. There is just something intriguing about the history of a small town. I heard you mention a place called the Bavarian Inn in another town. A great place for a visit is the neat little German town of Frankenmuth Michigan which also has a Bavarian Inn restaurant. Looking forward to your next video. Take care, stay safe and God bless. Steve in Oklahoma

[@SightseeingSally]

Thanks Steve! That video can be seen here😉 A Forgotten Town in Northeastern Wisconsin on a Sunday afternoon kzbin.info/www/bejne/baOVnIaPdqiXldk

[@northernbackwoodsman263]

Neat little town, always enjoy the info. The pretty smile don't hurt.

[@stucook8622]

Thanks for another fun video!🐾🌻

[@rockmanrespect]

Love Cecil, love the Fireside, love the Dairy Cove! Gonna try the Bavarian Inn this year.

[@sherifowler6614]

Been through Cecil a bajillion times and never knew there was a second hand store! You should have gone up R to VV to Primal Eats on the game farm. That in itself is an experience. Technically Gillett but closer to Cecil. Best beef brisket, cole slaw, and beans ever. Plus lots of weird stuff and a wall of beer. Please come to Pulaski. Or Suring/Kelly Lake where we have a lake house.

[@128titanic9]

Hi, Sally. I love your videos. Thank you.🎉.❤.

[@ChrisLee66]

Any town that has a gas station with a late 1970's Ford T-Bird for sale cannot be that bad. Any chance Marty will let that secret burger seasoning recipe out of the bag soon? 😋

[@clonefan9472]

I love your videos. If you ever get a chance, I would love to see you do a video on Stanley Wisconsin. I had family there when I was a kid and we used to go up there all the time. My Great Uncle owned Heiser's bar, which was attached to their house on the main street. It is long gone now, but have some fond memories of the place. I haven't been back since the early '80s and would love to see what's going on there now.

[@darrellashby3906]

Nice trip through Cecil with you two! I always enjoy the sights, town history and the well placed comedy! Btw, thanks for the shout out, Sally!! 😀 I’ll look forward to the next adventure. 👍 Darrell A.

[@juliogonzales5441]

Great 👍 day with Sally and Marty 😊

[@augustharter981]

Oops didn't mean to submit already, so will be 2 sets if comments from me. Canal in the middle of town is cool. Love some of the homes you pointed out near the lake. Can only imagine how much would cost in similar area in California. Those burgers look pretty good! Interesting park and campground! Amoco gad station. Have not seen one in years. Shoe repair stores are rare. Cecil cementary is not too bad in disrepair. I have seen worse where I live in north central California. I do get what you mean to improve things to make the cementary more attractive. Dairy Cove must have ice cream 😅, yummy 😋!

[@tonialagunes7577]

That building was our old post office on one side, and an old barber shop on the other side!!

[@maxinehuebner7322]

What happened to Papetual Care? For Cecil Cemetery. It's sad to see the Graves left in disarray. Just adopt a Grave with a group. Girl Scouts, 4-H and ect.. Thanks for sharing your travels with us. I still remember going to Shannow Lake with my Family. And wadeing in the water. And a picnic in the Park 🏞️.

[@Hodaggium]

Sure, you make us wait until the end to watch you eat ice cream. I remember stopping to visit that cemetery about 10 years ago, and I'm disappointed that things are going downhill under the new ownership.

[@kimmathis694]

We used to stop at the Cecil diner for a bite to eat on our way up north back in the day. The food was always good.

[@justnerdystuff]

That is so true about eating out...My food I make at home is almost always better than any restaurant. Except Asian food - I am still learning how to cook those specialty items. And I don't have a deep fryer for the egg rolls and Mexican Chimichangas I like from restaurants.

[@michaelmckelvy9165]

Loved the pause and the stare, you burned a hole right through my phone 😊

[@Hattricks68]

This week I discovered a Naperville Cobbler in Naperville Illinois 😊!!! I’m quickly gathering all my Shoes to take to him because he’s probably the last of the Mohicans so to speak.

[@chrismodski6284]

Stevens Point also has an Elbow Room bar! (Don't expect much in the way of actual elbow room - it's a small college dive, but it is classically Wisconsin, inside and out.)

[@Cojiii1959]

The “Shire” of Cecil! 😊

[@bonniekaye]

*Loved the video!!* *I gotta tell you, those burgers looked delicious!* *Yum!*

[@SightseeingSally]

Thanks Bonnie! I’m lucky. Marty is the hamburger boss 😉🍔

[@garybryant6148]

Very good video. Thank you for sharing.

[@glennjudd2467]

Hi Sally & Marty , have no clue where to go on shoe repair ! But when I was working I did in Calif ! But Im doing ok here ! After major surgery ! Not driving yet !

[@SightseeingSally]

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you’re recovering Glenn!

[@chrisrychlinski6796]

Hey Sally and Marty check out the red arrow highway beaches of Michigan I would love to see your review on the area

[@augustharter981]

Small town of Cecil😅. What happened to old shell Station, sad. It is German on that building. Washington Inn is interesting! Lol Elbow Room! Those old lights at ship wreck building are unique. Old Fire Station sign. Looks like an old fire bell😂. Cool a. Old time capsule🙂! Lol, the shoe outside the bar 🍸 😅

[@joannunemaker6332]

My mom made burgers sometimes that looks close to the one Marty made. Those are delicious! Those added ingredients - Yun! I miss that. Cecil is a cute village.😊❤

[@jayreyes6854]

I want a Marty burger!😋

[@ottohesslein3230]

I love your videos. We travel the same ground.

[@toadz8113]

I love pineapple shakes if they use the sweet ones in syrup! Brodhead Wi on the curve" Tasty Cream"

[@davidkoehler136]

Yes, cobbler's are hard to find

[@daviddaughenbaugh1080]

[@anthonydane2781]

go to all the gold towns where people panned for gold like black earth creek ,plum creek

[@badapple65]

They outlawed “Double Bubble” and “Happy Hours” some years ago here in the ex-American state of IL. If there is a drink special it must be run all day and not limited to just a few hours. Cannot have “Ladies night” either, that gave one gender freebies over the other. Interference with free enterprise in my opinion. We live about 10 miles South of the Cheddar Curtain and absolutely LOVE WI. Green Lake, WI has been the most frequented destination in my lifetime. Deepest lake in WI at 237 ft. Some interesting history there! Including the seaplanes that would fly booze in mainly to the wealthy Chicagoans during Prohibition that would Summer on the NE shoreline, an area called Oakwood. A great fire happened there too wiping a lot of the cottage resort out. Then there is the Green Lake Conference Center (GLCC) originally developed by a publishing magnate couple and for years called The American Baptist Assembly. Always open to the public with every lodging option from tent camping, camper hook up sites, Cottages, homes, and hotel rooms. I’ll search the channel it could be you’ve covered the area in a past video. Nearest town Ripon WI also with some good history!

[@griswald7156]

that graveyard looks well tended you should see the neglected graveyards in the uk…

[@PhancyPants99]

Theres a bar in Indianapolis called the Elbow Room. Must be a popular name for bars.

[@justnerdystuff]

A prosperous open shoe repair shop indicates that a lot of people in that city wear quality leather shoes that they probably shop online for or if there is a quality shoe store there.

[@TomSmith-ls5rn]

You two rock! Love the videos!

[@DaveMathison503]

Well your slowly working yer way closer to the West Coast (of Wisconsin...StCroix River Ha Ha). In a heavy breathed tone...Come On Up Sometime and see Me (us 🤣) sometime 💃 LOL. 🤙

[@pigoff123]

Yup. That is German. We were stationed and lived there from 72 to 96.

[@jackthegiantkiller388]

As you are looking check out my town of Clintonville people are friendly here See ya

Don’t let Mrs Sally fool you, she can get Dolled up anytime she wants and look absolutely gorgeous you’d hardly recognize her. Notice how Marty behaves himself; because he knows 😂.
