Live From Gatlinburg Tennessee Reopens after stay at home order has beenlifted 5/1/2020

[@deeelwood3511]

Sevierville is already filling up with tourists. 😥This may be their ideal destination, but it is our HOME! It's too soon - way too soon - stay away for a while longer!!

[@hoeygottoeat7524]

Dee Elwood it’s sad to say most will have to learn the hard way. You can’t seem to tell most anything. People need instant gratification and rather risk everyones health doing it. Much sad news in the weeks to come.

[@natejennings7441]

Dee, you have the right to STAY HOME...

[@deeelwood3511]

@@natejennings7441 No. There is no choice for me; I have a job, and I am proud to serve our locals during this time. I will be happy to serve tourists - when our community is ready. Our community is taking care of one another. Lord knows that's plenty enough for us right now.

Hello from Colorado sorry I missed your live stream watching it now love seeing the videos of Gatlinburg and pigeon forge.

[@whatsnextrobert]

Watching this 2 years latter is so strange. Wish it was this quiet when I was there yesterday. But it is good for business.

[@AngelGranni]

Dollywood is on schedule to open June 1st. Will limit to 50% capacity. I was told this by someone from the Operations dept.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for sharing Angel

[@shadrekascott4399]

Tfs. I just booked my vacation there for july 4 weekend. I hope more of your city is open by then

[@missmable6015]

There's a 711 store in Gastonia, NC. on West Franklin Blvd. It's a mile from where I live.

[@donnacottrell9361]

Thanks for the KZbin 👍🏾😊

[@suesally2103]

To help with the fogging on your glasses, there’s a spray you can buy. Swimmers use it on there eye goggles and you can buy it, through sports stores like Academy and dickies. I think it’s about $6.00 Dollars

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for sharing Sue Sally

[@cydery]

how many of you guys will still be alive at the end of the week???????????????????

[@lloydabercrombie143]

Were I work twenty people have had covid only one put in hospital all said it's like a bad flu

[@jangilbert6726]

Hi this is Jan from ky I love to watch you two would you consider doing tours of course we would be in our own cars.yall know so much about the area.we know some but they have added alot since we were there.

[@aubertfreeman6234]

Hard to believe you and Dawn were the only people wearing mask.

[@9LivesforeverAmen]

I love y'all's video's! I'm glad to see y'all wearing ur masks! I can see soo many new cases of Covid 19 breaking out in so many states since ppl come from near & far. There's no "social distancing. I live in a small town & it's just amazing & scary that so many ppl aren't wearing masks here either. I don't get out unless I need essentials AND I do wear a face covering. I do think that it's really good that Governor's are "re-opening" states, but ppl aren't heeding the instructions. Social distancing, face coverings. Ppl need to get back to work. Employees r wearing masks, only allowing a certain # of ppl in the store, yet the tourists r taking their lives & anyone else around them, their lives in their hands. Thx again for y'all's video's.

[@debrecalculating3769]

The new traffic pattern in Gatlinburg is going to take some getting used to!

[@missmable6015]

Will your moose on your mask is upside down. Lol😁

[@starlamiller3310]

Happy Birthday Dawn

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks 😊

[@momof2girlsMartin]

I love y'alls videos. I was watching the one yall did last night in Gatlinburg. You said you had problems with glasses fogging up with the mask. I bought some anti fog spray on Amazon that is AMAZING. Lasts for about 5 days for each application. If you dont wany to buy anything like that you can rub some shaving cream on lens, rinse off then air dry. Works pretty good for a little bit. Dont wipe glasses to dry. Looking forward for more videos.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for sharing Pamela

[@marilynb.2910]

Toothpaste works the best for preventing fogging when you dive. I'd bet it will work for your glasses. Also saliva works just as well.

[@williammorgan8588]

Hello Marilyn. How are you?

[@neonman1966]

Hey Will & Dawn. Really enjoyed watching your live stream last night. Congratulations on setting a record for viewers. What was the official count? Next time I am in Gatlinburg which will probably be this fall I would love to meet up with you guys. I have a huge collection of vintage postcards from all the businesses in Gatlinburg and I would love to share that with you guys. I think you would really enjoy seeing what's some of the old motels in restaurants look like back in the day. Take care, be safe and keep posting you're wonderful videos. They are just the best.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

We had just over 1,300 in the chat. That would be cool to see them thanks David
