    They are Guinea fowl and they make excellent watch “dogs”. Make a lot of noise if anything is out of the ordinary. My grandparents and lots of other relatives down in east Texas kept guineas around just for that purpose. Cool critters.

    This is so crazy! I have lived in Celeste for many years, work in Celeste, and graduated from Celeste School! Those numbers were shocking! Living here for years I haven’t heard of much crime! It is pretty quiet in town most of the time. The average age is 28 is also so surprising! I feel like we have such an older population. The murals are newer, the community and city works very hard to keep the town clean, and from what I hear someone is going to start fixing downtown! I love our little town of Celeste❤️

    It’s crazy that this video was recommended to me, but I actually go to school in Celeste(live outside of city limits). The Seniors in art class paint a new mural every year. We just made the new Audi Murphy memorial recently, and I helped make the metal frame in Ag. (I barely did anything… just wanted to say I did.) Kinda weird to hear it get called a forgotten town thought I guess it kinda is in a sense.

      Beautiful house! The problem is the age of the house. You see all of those space heaters? I lived in an old farm house and the electrical was porcelain insulators with bare wire running though walls made with lath and plaster. You never know if there will be a fire. My dream would be to duplicate a house like that with modern construction. It would probably cost a fortune but be one of a kind.

    Nice to see Audrey back again. She makes a great addition to the channel and provides great commentary. Also, Audie Murphy is the only soldier I know that portrayed himself in an autobiographical movie. It's tragic that he passed away in a plane crash. I definitely recommend anyone who hasn't seen the movie "To Hell and Back" to go watch it.

Great to see your daughter with you again haven’t seen her in a little while on the channel so hello. Those numbers are really strange indeed. I’m sure there’s a reason I just don’t know it. Those wet Guinea fowl or just Guineas we call em best watch dog ever. Nothing comes round that they don’t really cut a shine. LoL and loud. I love these towns and you know you’re in small town Texas when you see red brick in downtown or the square. Reminds me of the Nanci Griffith song spin on an old red brick floor, about the bar that it’s floor was made of red bricks from the downtown area. LoL course her being a Texas girl would know about that. Sorry she’s gone. Great job on a great video Joe appreciate it and appreciate seeing some blue skies and sunshine. Safe travels my friend.

    Celeste is about 60 miles from Dallas. That’s kind of a long drive for a daily commute but not bad if you mostly work from home and just need to go to Dallas for an occasional meeting (I work from home but sometimes go to meetings in downtown phoenix 35 miles away). So as metro Dallas- Fort Worth grows and expands (and housing prices in the metro area keep increasing) I’d bet a lot of these small towns will start growing as work from home people move in. My city of 275k was a small farm town 30 years ago before it became a phoenix mega suburb

    Those birds you saw in a front yard are "Guinea Fowl" I believe they are native to Africa. When I was a kid my family had a few of them and kept them with the chickens, which were free range during the day. They are wonderful "watch dogs" as they make quite a noise when something is around that they aren't familiar with, like a stray dog or coyotes, etc.

    I love watching your videos. I've lived in a Village called Coldwater in Ontario, Canada for the past 29 years. Lots of history here. Downtown was very run down when we moved here but they have managed to turn decay taking over by focusing on tourists. Lots of restaurants, bank, Dr., post office, arena, bowling alley, laundromat, grocery store for 1100 people. They have an excellent business association who promote events in town far and wide. They are now building a new subdivision with plans for future growth. My message is it can be turned around

    I remember gas, in Galena Park, TX, at less than a quarter per gallon....during 'gas wars' where stations competed for business and gave out double trading stamps.
    Next time you're in the Houston area, maybe you could visit the small towns of Galena Park and Jacinto City....both fully incorporated and thus, never annexed by the city of Houston. They both have their own mayors, police departments, and other institutions one would associate with an independent city. Both were built back in the day, with affordable housing, for workers in the industries on the Houston Ship Channel. My dad worked 30 years at Sheffield, later Aarmco, Steel Company.

      @@JoeandNicsRoadTrip They are both fully surrounded by Houston, but never annexed. In fact, if you didn't know, you would be hard pressed see when you enter them, though there are some signs. I remember one business on Federal Rd that had a sign up saying, "Welcome to Galena Park...home of 5280 good people....and two or three nuts."

    Another great video Joe and hello to your daughter! Hey, what video camera do you use to do your walking around footage? Looks like a DJI Pocket 2 or DJI Osmo 3 but can’t tell for sure….

    if this is the same daughter, I remember another vid that LS did with a couple of years ago in TX small towns towns near your TX home base . Nice of her to accompany Dear Old Dad on his vid tour . In thinking about the sex/age/education range of the town of Celeste I can only imagine that appeal of that is here is some advantage to pink collar workers in that greater metro region of Dallas / Fort Worth area .The only town that Lord Spoda has been to that I can remember with the average population was that young was a Mormon type town in the NM/ UT area . I think that particular town had the advantage of men having multiple wives . Audie Murphy was despite his slight size a great American hero who accomplished much l in WWII . Who was almost like a one man army . He suffered in his personal life because his military experiences . i did not really like his movies , but he was a great man ! Happy Trails on your second look series .

    Thanks Joe for your video, and of course adding charm in the way of your beautiful daughter. I hope she goes with you on your future videos. Oh, and how can you not want to scoop up that beautiful little kitty and take it home? I never get tired of your videos, content, and now, your daughter with her interaction with you and those towns. Oh, and one of my Granddaughter's name is Audrey!!.......Russell D.

    Another engaging presentation! Thank you, Joe. It was great to see your daughter again. Hi Audrey! In December 1995 I named my second daughter Audrey. It is a lovely name. I love to see these old towns and imagine what could be done today to make them beautiful again. There is beauty in the ruins, but maybe someone could develop a "shabby chic" kind of renovation, that preserves some of the old elements while still making them habitable with modern conveniences. I look forward to your next video! Always my favorite part of Saturday morning: coffee and a Joe & Nic Road Trip video.

    It ould be really beautiful with some money & decorating skills. Living in Ontario Canada that house is a steal. It would be worth over a million here even in a small town.
