The Choctaws are well known in Ireland. In the 1840s they heard the Irish people were starving so they collected some money ($170) and sent it to Ireland. This was only 14 years after the Trail of Tears, they were still struggling themselves, which made their act of humanity all the more moving. There is a sculpture in Ireland called "Kindred Spirits" to commemorate this act of kindness.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

@@draoi99 That’s amazing.

[@evanorthcliff2782]

I've heard that history also. Great love given!

[@Mariel_Moon]

Wow! That's a beautiful story ❤

[@magenta97344]

In 2020 the Irish people raised money for the natives hit hard by Covid as a little payback for the help the natives gave them during the famine. It’s so nice to see people helping each other throughout history.

[@michaelosullivan9318]

Yes the sculpture is in Middleton in county Cork, it's very beautiful and especially at night when it's lit up, beautiful story and bond between 2 communities thousands of miles apart who's help is always remembered by us Irish, much love and peace to the chacktaw people

You appear to be so genuine, no satire or cynicism which is so refreshing, thanks.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

[@johntoe6127]

I love hominy. Heat up some yellow hominy, put butter, salt and pepper on it. It's great! There's nothing strange about it. It's just another of the 1000's of ways to prepare corn. And it's pure corn. Nothing added (except salt and butter). So completely natural.

[@heatherstephens9295]

I’ve never heard of it? 👍🇳🇿🇳🇿

[@johntoe6127]

@@heatherstephens9295 Walmart carries canned hominy. Found near the canned corn. It's very cheap, around a buck a can. All it is, is regular corn, with the outer shell dissolved away. That causes each kernel to absorb water and swell up. It comes in two basic kinds, white, and yellow. We always ate it as a side dish, like you would regular corn. Restaurants here in Missouri serve it too. Hominy alone is pretty bland, so you have to drain it, and put butter, salt and pepper on it.

[@floridaredneck]

Grits are just corn, butter, salt and pepper, but isn't made using lye. I guess someone has to like it for it to be sold. I'll stick with grits. I have no idea how they can taste so different, but I can't do hominy.

[@floridaredneck]

@@heatherstephens9295 You've missed nothing. You'd have to be brought up eating it, or you wouldn't like it. Can't stand it myself.

[@heatherstephens9295]

@ thanks for your reply 🫶🏻🇳🇿

[@jameshaning]

Wow has Hominy changed since I was a kid some 40 years ago. My grandparents would take us to a burger restaurant there and a country western store. The boots from that store are still engrained in my mind.

[@Maniry]

I was raised in Hominy. And ran around the Pawhuska area, as well. I know what a few of those buildings are, that you wondered about, in Hominy. The one old building out by itself, that you think was built in the 70’s, is the old Sale Barn. They used to have a livestock auction every week! It was loud and smelled bad! LOL Also, fun fact, in Pawhuska, you drove past my brother’s house! LOL the Rexall Drug Store in Hominy was a really neat place to go and buy things besides prescriptions! AND, the train depot, (in Hominy) in the 80’s, used to be a restaurant!

Yeah, me & my cousin would go to the cow auction & pretend we were bidding!😂

[@fluffymoonflower]

Not only does Martin Scorsese's movie depict the true story of the "Reign of Terror" in the 1920s, during which several members of the Osage Nation were murdered in Oklahoma, but much of "Killers of the Flower Moon" was shot in or around Pawhuska.

[@StephenSchuster_WA5G]

I appreciate this video a little extra. I was born in Pawhuska while my father worked in the oil fields. We were only there for two years. I lived in Tulsa for three years; so, I still have an affection for NE Oklahoma. Your knowledge of architecture is impressive. I took art history in college; but must have dozed off a little too much. 🙂

[@dawnhenderson9461]

I think Pawhuska is where Native actor Larry Sellers is from,he played Cloud Dancing in Dr Quinn Medicine Woman,I LOVED his character ❤

[@larryl5904]

You probably didn't know but Pawhuska is the home of Ben Johnson who was a real cowboy before becoming a movie star.

First time watching your video. It makes me sad to see the poverty in the town of hominy. I grew up like that. I feel the lost of my family. I am doing much better and believe they all would be proud of me. Thank you for sharing your video. It brings many memories. 🙂

[@richardblayneamerican8149]

My aunt Evelyn (No blood relation, she was married to my mom's brother) was part Native American (Chickasaw, I believe). Her mother was named 'Ada', and HER father was an early settler and business owner in Oklahoma. He named the town of Ada, Oklahoma after her. Great video, Joe. Nice to hear about your proud heritage. Thank you.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Thats awesome! I've been to Ada, will probably do a video soon.

[@benc.enlots]

Very similar story to that of the naming of Aline, Ok in the NW part of the state

[@fredtaylor9792]

I used to live in Wynona , just north of there. Hominy used to have a café called The Silver Dollar that was AWESOME but it's a Mexican restaurant now. I still live in OK and have gotten into photography and traveled back to that area and took photos of those exact same murals you showed. The tile from the original stores is still on the ground.

[@brentftaylor]

My Fathers name was Fred Taylor and married a girl from Hominy 🤪

[@gatorgogo2742]

Hominy is an interesting town. I'd live in the caboose right where it is so there would be interesting things to watch. That old county courthouse in Pawhuska is imposing and intimidating when you look up all those stairs. They were thoughtful to have benches on the sides. I like seeing all the towns you show us. Thanks. Happy New Year!

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Thanks, gator!!

[@cindycrockettbradley5058]

[@donnahughes8409]

Hominy is so good if you fry it in bacon grease. Love the old Rexall sign.

[@___---__]

How do you fry Rexall signs? Sounds good.

[@savage.4.24]

It used to be milled and made into breads. Historically it was not just consumed but processed for food as well.

[@raimobalk757]

I was in Oklahoma in 1970-74, summer '71 in Avant and drove round Osage county, Barnsdall, Avant and such. And, now being some 70's am recollecting great memories. Thanks for these scenarios Joe and Nic! Looking forward for more.

[@roneagle8038]

Greeting from El Reno Oklahoma, the home of Fort Reno to the south, and the Chyenne Arapaho Reservation just to the north. This is a very interesting and well-done video that you have made! Fort Reno was the site of an Axis prisoner of war camp during WWII and has a well-maintained cemetery of German and Italian POWs interred there. The is another cemetery there also that has U.S. Cavalry trooper interments as well as some Native American graves. Well worth a visit, as part of the old fort is still maintained to visit. Fort Reno is now an Agricultural Research station. Close by is the Federal Correctional institute, also known as Club Fed. You can see the tennis courts from the highway! A lot to see here, as Historic Route 66 is also in El Reno. Thanks again for this very interesting video!

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

El Reno has a beautiful old downtown. :)

[@allensmith4355]

Just bought new house in Beggs, Oklahoma

[@feliciamusic7945]

My grandparents, the Yorks, lived in El Reno and raised 4 children, my dad the youngest. Their house was built in 1910 and my grandma lived in it until she passed away in 1984 at age 93. My grandpa worked for the Rock Island Railroad for 50 years. Both were very involved in the El Reno school system. We used to visit for my Dads vacation and always in August. We always said you could fry eggs on the sidewalks, it was so hot. 😅 My mom, sisters and I lived there back in the early 60s. My older sister met her future husband there. So I have a lot of family ties and good memories of El Reno.

[@limbiclove9487]

Great information.

[@savage.4.24]

​@@allensmith4355there is a good ice cream stand out there but I can't remember what it was called. Building was red and white a decade or more ago and they have amazing burgers too. 50s car hop style place with a gravel lot.

Wow, you are the oldest of 8 siblings, I love it! ❤ And I immediately knew about Pawhuska because I am a fan of The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, a cooking/lifestyle producer. Happy New Year Joe and Nic 🎉🎉🎉

[@Steve-ow4jt]

Pawhuska is a very beautiful town. Have only been there a couple of times and the Mercantile is well worth the visit. You were closer to my neck of the woods In Pawnee which is about a 30 to 40 minute drive due North from where I am in Cushing straight down highway 18. Have been there several times and always love the appeal of the town. As for hominy, the food not the town, it is really good if you mix it in with fried potatoes and smoked sausage. Was great to see you here in Oklahoma. Maybe one day you may make it to Cushing, the pipeline crossroads of the world. Will be watching for the video from Missouri. Until then, stay safe, God bless and may you and Nicole have a happy new year. Steve in Oklahoma

I like Menudo a Mexican soup that has Hominy with homemade flour tortillas on the side. My mother used to make Menudo all the time. Loved it especially during the Christmas and New Year Holiday. My mother learned from my grandmother who lived in Marfa, Texas and worked at a Truck stop and cooked for all the Truckers.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Wow, thank you!!

[@kevincamp2913]

Hope your trip is going well. The fall off of the oil field back in the 80s really hurt towns like Hominy. With the majority of the businesses consolidating in Houston these towns did not rebound. The murals in Hominy are lovely and deserve to be cared for. Marland was one of the oil barons of the heyday, if you have not visited the Marland Mansion in Ponca City it is worth a visit.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

I had Ponca City planned, but ran out of time. I will be visiting there soon.

Joe, I've trucked 4.5 million miles across this big ole beautiful country..... 40+ years and I can't tell you how many times I've said to my wife on the phone calls back to her.... it looks like they just all got up and left... Our youth went to chase the taxman and the old folks are just fading away. Once their health fails them they can't keep their property's up and they more or less just survive until they can't. The American dream has been hijacked into the taxmans dream. Both parents have to work to afford a starter house anymore. Boomer rant over, just wish the youth would realize that

My grandmother lived on Washunga St in Hominy when I was a teen. She ran the mailroom at the penitentiary there. They’re easily missed, but there are several large Indian sculptures on the hilltop west of town. They’re really neat to see in the evening. I do remember the town being a lot less run down.

"Killers of the Flower Moon" is a movie directed by Martin Scorsese and much of it shot in Pawhuska. Many of the "quaint" shops with window lettering of the time period of the movie were already abandoned buildings, storefronts "restored", and used as movie sets. The movie came out in 2023, but much of it was shot years earlier. So, some of what you showed is not what it actually was.

I have been able to watch many of your videos in recent years. Great Job! I am a retired Real Estate professional, but I am amazed at the extent of blighted cities and towns that exist in the U.S. It is hard to grasp that as well off as America generally is, that this is possible. I wonder why there is no mechanism to raze these communities and restore these areas to vacant land. I know in some cases there are considerable contamination issues that no one wants to deal with - which I have seen first-hand several times. These areas do provide a historical glimpse. It would be interesting to do the same thing in Canada. Please keep them coming.

Those narrow houses were called “ shotgun houses”. If I’m remembering correctly.

I always loved anything made from corn. Always preferred plain buttered corn but gladly ate the hominy when it was served

[@Jefferson-l7o2j]

[@barbaraparker6996]

@Jefferson-l7o2j No, l never have and l have no idea why l haven't because it looks so good. I'm going to now that you have mentioned it. 🙂

No complaints here. It's nice to see nature will take back given the chance. Keep up the good work.

I/' m a new viewer and subscriber of yours and as a 66 yr old and son of Air Force Vet, we traveled all over the country during the 1960s and early 70s, so I'm really interested in seeing the small towns and communities of USA. I enjoy seeing the towns that are trying to make come back, the restorations of the architecture. I hope you would consider a trip across Rt 66 in 2025 seeing what towns are embracing and taking part of the Rt 66 culture, would love to see the small and unusual attractions and the bigger ones to that are on the rt. and what is happening to prepare for the 100th anniversary in 2026. Thanks anyway whether. you do or not.

We are going to do some Rt 66 towns in New Mexico this summer.

Good video. I'm also from Oklahoma 1/8 Chickasaw. Have lived in Texas afor more than 60 years. Hominy was poor people food. When I was a kid in the late forties my mother used to make it out in the yard on our farm. She soaked dry corn kernels then used lye to take the hulls off. The Osage tribe was the richest group of any people in the United States in 1920. Because of the oil money.

I love hominy! Cooked with butter! Yum

[@RobOlgatree]

people don't know how to fix hominy. It needs spicy add-ins

[@kathyannex6811]

In case you didn’t know, Pawhuska was where they made the movie, “Killers of the Flower Moon”. Good movie based on true happenings from the 1920’s.
