Love your videos from southeast Kentucky. My mom is from Middlesboro. You showed a newspaper article about Walt Overbay. The “Heart of Gold” article. Walt ran Montgomery’s Grocery in Noetown. He delivered groceries to those who couldn’t get out, and let people runs tab until they got their checks at the end of the month. He’d take their bill and enough cash to cash their checks for them. He was a coach for Middlesboro little league for years. A baseball field was named after him. He was my pappaw’s first cousins husband. He was a great man. He’ll be missed.
There is a lot of history in these small towns. Also plenty of adventure to be had in Middlesboro and the surrounding Cumberland Gap area. Its a beautiful area!
Great video! Next time u are in town we would love to walk with you and give u some history of our little town. Many years ago, I was the chairman of the economic development committee of the downtown association, discover downtown middlesboro (DDM) . We have several nice churches with spectacular architecture....as well as many downtown buildings. Thanks for what u do! Come back soon!
That's the old Park theatre , I watched a lot of movies there. It cost 25 cents in the 70's. I grew up 3 blocks up from there. Where the library is, used to be a parking lot, people could park all day also 25 cents. The big yellow building (bingo hall ) was a grocery store called Scienders Food Basket. Locally owned by great people. Used to be a cab stand by the theatre called Park Service cabs and my uncle Ben Hatfield owned it. Thanks for taking me back too many years to mention. Love your videos
Great video Coyote! I love Middlesboro, lots of beautiful places up there! I think the Chevy truck is a 66 or 67. I went up there several times when they were restoring the "Glacier Girl" she's an awesome plane, she was beautiful when they finished her, I was sad to see her go to Texas. I have a silver Glacier Girl coin I bought up there, a friend of mine has some of the original cooling fins from her. I took my wife up there on a motorcycle ride back after we got married and we got stormed on and soaked! I have a lot of great memories up there! Thanks for sharing!
We lived on Ironwood Rd. My grandfather worked at Hoe & Sons all his life and retired from here. My mom aunt and uncle graduated Middlesboro HS. My aunt was a head cheerleader My uncle was a band leader. ❤️🙏🤗👍
When I was in the 5th grade I lived across the road from the library, my sister and I used to walk over to the Park Theater. I remember watching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday The 13th, and Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Band
Born in the flesh 1946 and born in the spirit 1958, since than life is sweeter than the day before. Enduring to the end is the hard part. Living for Jesus one day at a time. Life is good in my Lord Jesus. Amen ! Waiting for the sound come up here my children, meeting in the air. !
The last time I went to Middlesboro was a couple years ago. My family and I went to Roses, after we got back from the R.O. Giles Flea Market near Tazewell, Tennessee, and then we ate at Arby's, located around the Middlesboro Mall. And that day was a very special one. It was my mom Jackie's birthday! She turned 62 that day! On April 7, 2019!
Thank you for the stroll thru Middlesboro. Love the old buildings. That big one on the corner looks like an old hospital. The red brick one looks like an old opry house. Nothing better than a walk and some humor. 😂😂😂😂 by the way I believe the Truck of my dreams was a 66 classic model like me😌 😂✌😳 God bless Y'all. Love all the old history and the theatre.
Hi Ignited Coyote! Thanks for featuring my mural in Middlesboro! It’s the one with the singer, birds, butterflies and flowers at the Levitt concert site and the intro image on this video. I’m a Bell County girl and am so proud of my area. My Dad is from Harlan/Cumberland so we all appreciate your videos! Come visit the Right Fork of Straight Creek (close to Stoney Fork) some day🙂
Wow! We are so honored that you noticed our little video. We love our little corner of Appalachia and we love showing positive things about it, seems like so many people want to focus on the negative when it comes our area. Your work is beautiful I wish you could do some in Harlan and Cumberland.
@@IgnitedCoyote I will try to one day🙂. I agree that our area is special and much under appreciated! But I’ve noticed a bit of a Renaissance in the Bell County and Corbin area. It’s natural beauty and kind people will eventually draw people back here. (But not too many people I hope 😜)❤️
Hi I really like the videos my parents are for eastern Kentucky. I was wondering if you seen auto junk yard that has a lot of old cars in then like 50s and 60s or 70s in it. Thanks keep the videos coming there great.
I love your videos I am from Rockcastle Ky not to far up the road lol I have visited Harlan and surrounding areas many times it's very beautiful there some of my family can be Trace to all them areas especially cranks Creek area. Keep up the great videos i enjoy watching them
I was in Middlesboro at the Glacier Girl exhibit when they first started restoring it. I was there once before that at a festival ( forgot the name) , but there was a guy making knives from locally mined meteoric iron. My grandfather had a 1964 short bed Chevy truck that looked a lot like the one in this video....
One of those knives would be great to have wouldn't it. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment we enjoy reading them and we learn so much from them!
Great video as usual, there is a great bakery there that has great plate lunches in the strip mall next to the social security office, and the owner is the sweetest lady....
Shades Steakhouse for the past 3 or 4 years has been voted the number one steaks in the state of Kentucky. If you're going to eat their call and get a reservation because it's always crowded but it's worth it.
we really enjoyed it when we lived in the London, Corbin area for a long time because that's close to i-75 so you can get just about anywhere but it's still small towns.
Going back to barbourville soon, and we will eventually work our way up to Manchester. Thanks so much for the very kind words! Here's a link to one of our old videos we did on barbourville. th-cam.com/video/MQ3LnNjsU0I/w-d-xo.html
The old injector upstairs is there all the seats are still there we try to get the guy owned and open up to like a dinner and a movie but he didn't want do it

That's great information! I'm going to pin it to the top of the comments so people can use it when they watch the video.

Harvey Yeary is from there, known as Lee Majors , my Dad knew him back in the mid 50’s in his school days
Wow! That's great.
Shades Steakhouse for the past 3 or 4 years has been voted the number one steaks in the state of Kentucky. If you're going to eat their call and get a reservation because it's always crowded but it's worth it.
The building you're looking with the old Cinema used to be the old bus station on the other end
Nice video guys. You do a really nice job of showing folks around Kentucky.
In your opinion, what is the best town in Kentucky to live?
we really enjoyed it when we lived in the London, Corbin area for a long time because that's close to i-75 so you can get just about anywhere but it's still small towns.
Of course we liked it. All your videos are awesome. Are you going to do anything in Barbourville or Manchester soon?
Going back to barbourville soon, and we will eventually work our way up to Manchester. Thanks so much for the very kind words! Here's a link to one of our old videos we did on barbourville. th-cam.com/video/MQ3LnNjsU0I/w-d-xo.html
