Yes! We went about twenty years ago and it was great. Then we went again a few years ago and it was so-so. I’m glad we went again because it was really good on this trip.

We enjoyed the natural surroundings. It was gorgeous. After the fact, we wished we had looked more closely at the pioneer cemetery. We were going to go back but we ran out of time.

Thanks! She now works with drum majors in a HS band and loves it.

It's not far from Blowing Rock. The name Broyhill is all over the place and I think the company was founded nearby.

We went in the early 2000s and it wasn’t great, but this time was very good.

Debby! 🤪

We’re heading back that way before too long and it’s definitely on our list to go again.

I love these buildings!

There’s lots nearby to do and see also, so you should try to get there someday.

@@therobisonfiles5770 But I am in India right now and America doesn't allow to come there if you are not financially strong in India. Hope! One Day in this life, Or in next maybe 😑

Yes! I could spend hours in there.

Things are building up all around it and it’s going to be forgotten. It makes me sad.

It’s a nice area.

We have had such a case of wanderlust for the longest time and getting the house sold was not a big deal. The cost of upkeep on our house was getting to be too much, and we were only using a portion of the house anyway since it was two of us. We said we won’t own a house again, but if this doesn’t work out, we said we’ll rent somewhere. We had said our first purchase would probably be a mattress, but there’s a brand new memory foam mattress in here so we were lucky in that aspect.

It’s such a cute place.

Which place?

@rogerokelley Oh well! I’m glad you’re perfect.

Thank you!

I know! We’re thinking of heading that way this Christmas.

Oh, we will.

We love that building!

Love it!

We enjoyed it!

Nope!

Sorry, but we didn’t attend this year.

He’s such a good performer.

I was told several different things, but we did another video more in depth if you want to watch. Several places are gone, and I think her parents’ house was on Priester and now gone.

I am glad you enjoyed it. When it was filmed, Opelika was still considered a small town and something like the filming of a major motion picture was a big deal! People are still talking about it, including my family. Good luck with your screenplay.

@@therobisonfiles5770 Thank you so much... I already have the manuscript ready to be published for a "Book" first, (I was told if I sold the Screenplay, that most likely they will also BUY the book rights too, even if I have only sold 3 books... LOL I really really enjoyed your video yesterday how well you (filmed) and (edited) your video... I know exactly the small towns and big cities my film will be filmed in and I want someone like you to appreciate the small town that it was filmed in. When I was in the 6th grade... Lived in White City, New Mexico, (gateway to the Carlsbad Caverns)... they filmed a movie called "Gargoyles"... I used to sneak out of my house and walk forever in the desert to watch them film this movie!!! (I think back how dangerous that was) God takes care of Fools and Children. But... being able to WATCH that movie being made right in from of my eyes.. It changed my live forever... Then in 1992 I was working on the set of the movie made in Roswell, New Mexico called, "Silent Tongue"... Once again I was "Star-Struck"... not because there were big name Actors, like Sir Richard Harris and Sam Shepard... but the making of the movie... AMAZING. Later on I became an Actress, and was also in the movie made in Ruidoso, New Mexico called, "Billy Shakespeare" OOOpps... (You can tell I'm a writer... I'm writing too much) Where I'm going with this... is I want my film to be remembered in the small towns, and I hope it touches people like it did you and this small town. WHEN... one of these days, hopefully this year... I will let you know if I too get to film my movie... For now... I need to write the Screenplay. What I have found out through out the last 10 years... especially since COVID... People love Limited MiniSeries on TV and that is what I'm shooting for... Not just a 2 hour movie. My book/script is called: "American Dream: Age of Innocence 1959" (c) The story is about a group of (innocent kids in a small town Ruidoso, New Mexico) just after graduating from high school and stumble on a MYSTERY of a woman that had been kidnapped 4 years before, and one of the brothers of the kids, still missing too... It is really really good, not because I wrote it... because it SHOWs how each individual has the Heart to be a Hero.... a few innocent kids and a small town decided to bring their loved ones home. I still CRY at certain times when I ready certain parts of this manuscript... and VERY Patriotic in showing how Proud we are to be an Americans... Banding together... I am Proud of our Military. Okay Judi... Stop Talking (LOL) Again, Thank you for your great video. I'm so Proud of YOU.

Do you have any idea of where the location of the house and land was?

@@therobisonfiles5770 My father showed me and my family was his family and ancestors was enslaved and living after slavery in frankling county Royston GA. I personally vistied my great grand auntt and her children still living in that house. That house was painted as a white three story house. My father showed us that house back in the 1980s. When I show that house it was old and about to fall down. Afther I show that house I asked my father to take me back there to that house and when seen it no one else was living in that house any more. Lather as I grow up and aged. I went back to Royston. Ga and I brought my sister do she remember where that house was. She showed my the road and we droved down there and my ancestores house was turned down. The last time I visted Royston, Ga. I remember where my ancestor house was the land was cleared and weed and other natural growth trees was there. Also, the last time I was there in Royston, Ga. I was look for my ancestors graves, and me and sister stop and asked some nice people were we could find the grave yard for African slaves and our black ancestor and those nice people dirrected us to an very old black cemertry. It was located in some havey grown burses and trees. I was able to find some of my old ancestors head stones but the ones who was posssibly my ancestors who were enslaves, but they only had rocks on top of the graves. I have spent a lot of money over the last 20 years to find out the truth about my ancestors and who i'm truly am.

It still tastes good!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I want to go and stay sometime.

You know, it's sad that places like this are not around any more. I would love to meander through and enjoy the entire building. Online shopping is unfortunately killing places like this.

His story is certainly interesting.

@@therobisonfiles5770 so I don’t get a like ?

We actually live in Hartwell! We don’t do a lot of exploring nearby. We love to hit the road.

Glad you enjoyed it.

We’re going to see him this year in Greer, SC. I can’t wait.

Thanks for the info. We don’t live far away, so we may head back to check out some of these places.

I don’t remember, but I assume they have some. You could probably Google it and find out.

@@therobisonfiles5770 I just went by there no EV charging

I wish I could have seen the area in its heyday! I find these small towns fascinating.
