I’ve been to Madison. The river is beautiful. We also found a wonderful bookstore there. My husband used to work for a moving company, and we ended up in some out of the way towns.
Fantastic shots. So glad she will be refurbished, to have a happy life this time. Thank you for sharing this adventure, also glad you did not fall through a hole in the floor lol. Congratulations on another spectacular video. Looking forward to your next post.
I completely lost it at "fine! I'll do it myself" haha. There are days I feel like that one phrase sums up my entire life haha. Loved the story as always and you seem to constantly find the most interesting out of the way places that few have even heard of. THAT is what I love! Thanks for keeping the videos coming.
I saw a few things I'd like to have off those buildings .. lol .. Love seeing your beautiful face and listening to you talk .. Makes my day better while I lay in this hospital bed .. Thank you
I'm from Indiana and we Hoosiers are a little short on words, I guess. Sorry you had to do all the historical digging yourself. That being said, I've never been to Madison and now I wanna go! Love your videos! Safe travels!
Greetings Casey: This is merely a suggestion that I thought you might enjoy . My husband and I enjoyed it because we were kids in the '60's. The Cowby Museum in Oklahoma City. When I was little I adored Roy and Dale but after visiting this place, it is much more high than my childhood rememberences. This place is HUGE. I hold a great deal of memories for me. There is this weird grasshopper season.. stay the hell away from that. It wasn't what I would have considered a vacation but the parts I saw were exciting and fine. Sarah Cox
If you're still near Louisville check out the Waverly hills sanatorium. Originally built as a TB hospital it has many fascinating stories. It has been abandon for years but you'll need permission as it is guarded 24/7.
***sigh...I'll just do it myself** 😅 beautiful work ...just beautiful. Buildings have souls I believe...and stories..and that's a beautiful one. Any town would love you attention and care you give to them ❤️✌️
Marriott should abandon the hotel and convert it into low-income housing. They can improve their tax credits with both Historic Tax Credit (HTC) and low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC). I'm sure the nearby cities with high homeless populations like Indianapolis IN, Cincinnati OH, Louisville and Lexington KY could quickly fill the apartments and Marriott could get HUGE tax write offs benefitting their bottom line and helping end homelessness in the region.
wow, even tho the wood is rotted and the windows are gone, I'm surprised so much is still there. I could see kids tearing the place up or homeless people seeking shelter. That was a cool find. What a pretty town.
Where are you? We miss you. We need a video. I need some laughter, I need my jaws to ache. I’ve said it many times, you are my 🌞 sunshine . And definitely not in a creepy way. Hope all is well.
That was sad to see what happen to those buildings but beautiful greenery. Being born in Indiana & being in between Louisville I love the two states, and proud of my roots!
Wow .... first off .... video to short ..... I used to visit that town a couple of times a year ..... I lived on the north side of the river across from Louisville -- many years .... my husband and I would take trips to Madison and other small towns to picnic and walk around the shopping district .... we move to Ohio for his job --- that was about 40 years ago .... so this does bring back memories ..... Yes I was born and raised a Hoosier ...... most likely will not be able to visit it again .... Thanks for sharing ....... Hugs ...... Shirlene
I can't find documentation of how much it cost though a couple people in town have mention $21-27,000,000! The Fairfield Inn by Marriott has a website where you can see the renovation if interested. It is amazing especially after seeing Casey's awesome video!
@0:27 ....Wait a minute....Where have i heard that before?? "Down by the River, and Roaming Casey is in a Van" folks. Great Video Casey!! Btw, If you take a 'teaspoon' of that Makers Mark before bed Every night, you'll sleep like a Cub Bear. At least that's 'what i hear' ; )
Hey Casey! So excited that you stopped by our beautiful town. We keep missing you as you were in Mexico Beach, FL when we were there. And we're in Madison now as have lived here forever :). Hope you had a great visit, loved the video, you're awesome! If you're still here & need a place to plug in, you're welcome here. Though I'm guessing that you may have already moved on, safe travels my friend!
I cant believe you didn't major in journalism! Your ability to tell a story is amazing, making me want to look you up as a new caster why would they let you go if they did im not sure why your so good at telling a story you should write a book if you haven't already i know everyone watching thinks the same your great at putting the picture into words better than 'great. your videos always have me wanting to see more wishing there was just a few more minutes of Casey well anyways safe travels . Nancy
Added to my list of "must see" ... headed to Indiana next week! Whoop! Your photography is stunning... and I must confess that I too live for exploring abandoned buildings! You would be a fun exploring buddy...safety first... then go find what no one else has laid eyes on in years! Thanks for such a fun video! 🚐
Awesome find. I have wanted to go to this town for the waterfalls at a park there. I believe it is Clifty Falls State Park. Recently visited a neighbor town of Clarksville, IN, and it was quite quaint...on our quick trip through there. Purchased a 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser so we can get out off the beaten path and explore. I am in West KY if you get over this way.
Hi Casey, I find Great Value in your content and appreciate it very much. I suspect that there are plenty of us out here who don't give a shit about what you cook in your van . Keep rocking it girl! Best wishes!
Casey, very cool little video. I think you are finding a nice little niche while on the road. Love the sarcasm by the way. Love that you are so uniquely “you”. Cheers!
Waving from a small place south of Louisville, Elizabethtown (yes, the same town from the chick-flick). I enjoyed your walk through of Madison and it makes me want to visit.
I agree! Her videos are really not long enough! I’ve been watching van bloggers for a few years now and subscribe to many....but Casey is the best. Her videos are a joy to watch. I’ve never been interested in supporting any of them but I am seriously thinking of doing it for her.
👍Yes Casey's mini tours are the best. I know some love the Saturday morning rants about the vegan bun sporting shelter dog-cat. Truth be told the documentary tours are more my thing.
God girl...you crack me up! That cotton mill is somethong else. Would have made great apartments...those windows..those ceilings. Got some really bad newd today so thanks for making me smile. Wish me luck as tomorrow I'm going to look at used promaster. I need my own babe bus..aka Marcus. Here's hoping.
Beautiful urban exploration videos!! If I had the money and balls, I think it would be hysterical. To give you a double decker British bus, tricked out, to tour the country!!
Reply to David G. Turning the Mill into housing for the homeless and unemployed is way too expensive. Building prefab housing will provide the most housing for far less money. Not to mention these municipalities are broke. Building the hotel, provides jobs in construction and permanent jobs operating the hotel. Also buying supplies thru local venders.
I enjoyed your these type of videos but I think it is about time you get some R and R heading over to Torch Lake Michigan. Been wanting to go there since I found this place on a post on Facebook by someone. Plus I trust your honest say about the place not some brochure trying to make it look like a exotic island.
Love finding things not on the map/brochures of cities! What a shame it can’t be restored! Big piece of history rotting away. Sure looked like the guy in the blue shirt behind you in the bar was showing a little interest🥴
I'm a travel buff. Love to explore thru others eyes. Cant get enough. I was thinking today you should do a show like Texas country reporter On the farm channel. You are curious. Which makes a great show. Love you!!
I love old mill buildings and come from a place that had many. You could have gone so much further describing the work within mill buildings. In England they made huge profits because they employed women and children (even ‘buying’ orphans), which were paid a fraction what men could earn, and they were tied to a the job because they lived in tiny slum-like mill cottages, which were paid for with the appropriate deductions from wages. Children as young as 3 or 4 were essential because only they were small enough to fit under the massive moving carriages, to sweep out the fluff that accumulates underneath. It could cause fires if not removed, although they often got crushed to death because they got tired during the 12 hour plus shifts. I have learned how to shoot in a mill building converted into a gun club. It’s pretty rare in this country to have indoor shooting ranges, but it’s lovely in winter with the central heating! Please make longer videos, there must have been other cool stuff nearby...

@@TerminalThiccness thank you so much
I love all your videos. You are so vivid with your words. You are a natural.
I'm from Indiana and we Hoosiers are a little short on words, I guess. Sorry you had to do all the historical digging yourself. That being said, I've never been to Madison and now I wanna go! Love your videos! Safe travels!
Absolutely gorgeous pictures Casey! Especially the fountain where you caught the droplets mid air!
I love your videos not just for the beauty and information, but for those of us with short attention spans. Short and sweet! ❤❤❤

Yay, a town i've actually been to! I live in Columbus, IN. Love your personality, girl😊
You're a great storyteller! Keep up the good work!
You find the most beautiful untouched places. Happy Trails
Winner of another TH-cam Award..... For the most liquor related footage from a non drinker 🤣😉👍
Florida Life oh wait till we get To makers mark...
If you're still near Louisville check out the Waverly hills sanatorium. Originally built as a TB hospital it has many fascinating stories. It has been abandon for years but you'll need permission as it is guarded 24/7.
Laissez Faire I tried. It’s almost impossible to get into now and they are RUDE AS HELL about it.
@@CaseyRoman Wow, I hate to hear that. I was obsessed with the history of that place when I lived there. Now all you hear about are the ghost stories.
***sigh...I'll just do it myself** 😅 beautiful work ...just beautiful. Buildings have souls I believe...and stories..and that's a beautiful one. Any town would love you attention and care you give to them ❤️✌️
Thank you, Casey! I will put Madison on my must-see places in Indiana.
Love the face you made with the “caramel fire.” Lovely way to end the video. I hope to see more of this quaint town on your next video
This was a beautiful video!!
I love walking through old buildings and imagine I'm back in their heyday. I hate to see them in decay. Thx for sharing once again!

OMG! More please! What a gorgeous place thanks so much for sharing
You always find the most beautiful places :)

Now I want to know how much it's going to cost Marriott to rehab that mill into a hotel.
I can't find documentation of how much it cost though a couple people in town have mention $21-27,000,000! The Fairfield Inn by Marriott has a website where you can see the renovation if interested. It is amazing especially after seeing Casey's awesome video!

Love watching you on your channel, also loved watching you when you were on WECT! Travel and story on gurl & have fun!

Great location! You just have to love an old building and the stories they hold.
Amazing as always Casey

Getting closer to Vermont!! Stop for visit if you come Northeast!

The only complaint I have, that's not really a complaint, maybe a wish, is that your videos for longer.

Nice video . Keep on the good work .
Looks awesome! Added to bucket list.
I love your little documentaries.
Loved the video as always
👍Yes Casey's mini tours are the best. I know some love the Saturday morning rants about the vegan bun sporting shelter dog-cat. Truth be told the documentary tours are more my thing.
That was a neat little town with quite the history on that mill! Thanks! 👍

Your reporter instinct comes out with all the interesting facts delivered with humor !! It’s so refreshing !! 😎 ❤️

Another great video Casey! I especially like that last face that you gave at the end. So did Hamish the Handful, my cat.
Absolutely love your videos looking forward to your next one. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US WITH YOU
I want you as my tour guide! Good job! I so enjoy your travels.
Sad to see the damage to such a beautiful old building.
You know your news job was just practice for the real deal, right? Your channel is some of the best content on the Tube.
Your wonder, causes me joy.

What a magnificent building it’s a shame this building has went into such decay I love places like that thank you for such a sweet video
Being a photographer myself I really enjoy how you edit and frame your shots!!!
Cool! I love stuff like this
Nice another great story about that town! It's almost like you were a TV reporter or something. Lol!!!!!!
Very cool building and town!
Loved the video 👊🏻
Cool building
Omg what an amazing building.
Love watching your video's, keep up the good work!
I enjoyed your these type of videos but I think it is about time you get some R and R heading over to Torch Lake Michigan. Been wanting to go there since I found this place on a post on Facebook by someone. Plus I trust your honest say about the place not some brochure trying to make it look like a exotic island.
Where there is a history, you will find it. This is how you do it keeping it 100%. Thank you for sharing
After that Kentucky Mud... where is the rest of the story! LOL I'm sure the adventure didn't end there! Another great video!
" well no shit" love it, thanks
Love your narration
Welcome to my state of Indiana, enjoy. Thanks for sharing.
Love finding things not on the map/brochures of cities! What a shame it can’t be restored! Big piece of history rotting away. Sure looked like the guy in the blue shirt behind you in the bar was showing a little interest🥴
Hi Casey, So you’re touching the stuff after all ... 😎. You rockstar!
Very professional video, now I need a Kentucky hug being home from work, thanks
Rand Layman don’t we all!
"No shit" hahahababababhahahaha. Ur killin me smalls! And thanks to CR, Madison is on my map.
Nikkuf Rail what a worthless museum
The town looked beautiful, is it worth the journey?
Nikkuf Rail if you’re in the area.
There you go!!! Awesome,
OMG! Are you still in Indiana? That's about 2 hours from us! You can plug in at our place!
“Well no shit.” The 😂. Brilliant and entertaining as always.
Edward Woodward most worthless museum man ever
Mrs. I don’t drink I love how you ended the video drink in Kentucky with hug
Great video
Your going to be a big TH-cam star. I bet 70k sub by this time next year
OH DAT BIG BUILDING DOWN DER BY THE RIVER!? WELL HELL, WOULDNT YOU KNOW IT, THAT WAS A MILL! 😂😂😂 Dont you love those surprise twists
Hello from southern Indiana. Hope you enjoy this beautif state.
You need to have a minimum of 5 min video. Just cant get enough
Welcome to Indiana :D We could definitely use more of your type of crazy up in here.
Hi, beautiful photographs !! I know it's best to probably keep the videos short but that one was a little too short.
John Zeimet the travel videos are not very popular so making them lengthy does not reap measurable rewards.
All good. It was just your right eye that was flinching. When is your video photographer joining you? Another thing you don't have to do yourself.
Chris Farley. Something van by the river.
Love it....💕
Another great report ... oh and dont call me shirley...😁
I approve ! Thumbs-up.
Great intro, then it ended! I was waiting for more. Nope. It's over. Insert sad frowny face here.
Jana Belle and yet others complain that I do these travel videos at all. I never know! Tryin my damndest!
I'm a travel buff. Love to explore thru others eyes. Cant get enough. I was thinking today you should do a show like Texas country reporter On the farm channel. You are curious. Which makes a great show. Love you!!
Yay!
Hahaha nice eye twitch!
I love old mill buildings and come from a place that had many.
You could have gone so much further describing the work within mill buildings.

Please make longer videos, there must have been other cool stuff nearby...
billieblue Sheepie I could have? I just told you the museum had zero information on their mill. I can’t pull history out of thin air.
That Kentucky Hug taste expression was priceless. Lmbo
more lululemon shots please lol
