That was great! I appreciate any type of "roadside attraction" so please do make videos if you come across any others! I only have a dozen or so on my list, like The Green Giant, who was not nearly large enough.
I remember when the Coffee Pot was on the other side of the road. I also remember the Ship Hotel which was at the top of the Eastern Divide near the Bedford -Somerset County line. Ft. Dewart is just past the Ship. I hope you can do a story on that sometime. Also Edmund's Swamp is near Buckstown on the Shade Township side. I had a friend that owned a farm and somewhere on his farm where buried 2 soldiers from Forbes Army. To this day no one knows where they are buried.
@@samanthab1923 I remember my mother talking about The Big Ship Hotel. She told me it was located on a mountain top where you could see three states. Is that the same hotel you are all talking about?
@@samanthab1923 I am 72 years old . I remember my Mother talking about that hotel when I was a child, so it was a long time ago. I was born in Latrobe. I reside in Louisville, Kentucky. This is exactly why I enjoy Cliff’s videos so much. They bring back so many memories.
There's a large champagne/wine bottle along a side road heading south off the Atlantic City Expressway and of course there's Lucy The Elephant in Atlantic City.
I don't know what town it's in but passed the giant shoe/boot a lot. As I remember it was somewhere along Rt. 30. I would look over and see it on my trips to York Depot For the Bakery.😀
I wish they could move one of the old log cabins that still exist in town & Dunkles & relocate them to sit next to the Coffee Pot at the Fairgrounds a Sonic drive-in restaurant &open a state-of-the art drive-in movie theater up behind the fairgrounds. It’s already a destination, make it a bigger one. Ppl love road trips & if you give them a place to go, maybe they’ll make it a slow Lincoln Highway-scenic kind of road trip instead of a 90 mph Interstate one.
Absolutely love Bedford! Would love to live there in the near future but I'm sure it will never happen. Hope you got to go eat at the Landmark Restaurant
Was just there last year. Took a picture with my Dodge Challenger in the foreground. As kids in the late 50’s early 60’ we could not wait to see it on route 30 on our way between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh.
Minor comment. I don't think the wolf howl in the intro fits Pennsylvania outdoorsman. More like something from out west. Love the channel. Grew up in rural Chester county. My back yard was the woods. You bring back great childhood memories.
The Coffee Pot is quite something. Thank you for taking folks to see it.

I love, love , love Bedford PA!!! That is the place I want to be!!!
Love that coffee pot. We have lots of towns where there is giant things indigenous to the area, they are fantastic. Thanks for the share. Take care
Love PA history and nature! Thanks.
Reminds me of the Haines Shoe house in Hellam, PA. Giant boot shaped house. Was an ice cream parlor. Now an AirBnB

Thank you so much for answering my question. So sad that it burned down.
My husband and I went there a couple of years ago.
Crazy, I was just over at the Bedford fairgrounds getting our Christmas tree, then came home to this video!
I love that you drank your coffee in front of the coffee pot. Really a neat place.
Thank you. That was pretty cool. Stay well.
We have Mammys Cupboard in Natchez, MS. Its a lady in a giant hoop skirt dress. Been a lunch diner for years now along side the highway
Hi Cliff, the Coffee Pot looks so cool and a great talking point for the community.
Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
We used to have a restaurant in Delta Colorado, called The Coffee Pot. When I was growing up 😎
There's a large champagne/wine bottle along a side road heading south off the Atlantic City Expressway and of course there's Lucy The Elephant in Atlantic City.
This reminds me of Lucy the elephant in. Margate NJ, right on the beach ⛱.
Yup was across the street along rt. 30 Bedford Pa. Stay on 30 west to Story Book Forest thats where the pied piper and the Shoe house is.
I don't know what town it's in but passed the giant shoe/boot a lot. As I remember it was somewhere along Rt. 30. I would look over and see it on my trips to York Depot For the Bakery.😀
I love it ! Yeah, I could live in that. (LOL) 👍 Cheers, Cliff🍻
Now I want a cup of coffee ☕️ 😃👍
The shoe house is now an air bnb, York Co PA
Thank you.
Going there next week! Cheers
Cool coffee pot

Too bad it can't be a drive-up coffee place. That would be fun! None the less, unique; so glad it's been restored & preserved.
Awesome
We didn't get any snow yet in Lehigh County yet .....
Bedford County especially the Lincoln Highway and around Bedford proper is deep in unique history and nice attractions
Absolutely love Bedford! Would love to live there in the near future but I'm sure it will never happen. Hope you got to go eat at the Landmark Restaurant

Such a cool and unique place. I've heard about this, just never got a chance to see it.
Now all you need is a matching oversized coffee mug next to it.
I regret that I am not drinking coffee as I watch this. Thanks Cliff!
HAHAHA - this is one of those things that most southern PA residents are QUITE familiar with!
I'd hate to see the Sasquatch that could lift that coffee pot! Lol. 😁
Loved this vid 🦌🦌🦌🎄⛄🌴🥥🐊
Oh that's so funny i just watched a documentary in that on TV .
That’s a fun find! Cool. 🤓
Haines shoe house york cty, is now a bnb. Check it out!
Looks great and much better than Lucy the Elephant!
And there's a giant teapot in Chester WV.
That's cool!
It's gotta be somewhere.
I lived in Bedford in the '90's.
Gee Cliff You hv enuf coffee for the year there! love Fun segments in ur videos I used to write n few times perform comedy/acting Brian
Because people in Bedford have a hard time getting out of bed
Ausome
Poor Naomi!!! You have really scratched up her hood. I thaink a good wax and some hard work should get rid of most of it.
I Know the owner of the fairgrounds if you want more access possibly
Is Bert Koontz related to author Dean Koontz? As I only have ever heard of Dean. No other peeps with the Koontz name.
Could be. Dean is from Bedford County.
@@jayforkner2692 Nice!
Are people publicly allowed to go inside?
Why not?
Why shouldn't there be?
Lol
Sorry accidentally hit thumps down
Just hit the thumbs up and it will change.
