What a picturesque town. Looks like a Norman Rockwell display mixed with Currier and Ives. I'm so glad that there are some towns left that keep some of their orginal architecture and buildings and repurpose them into other businesses. Wonderful job Jay, be careful with the coming storm 👍✌
Wait until you see the night time video
@@JPVideos81 can't wait 😉👍
Nice to see a city that isn't dirty or tagged up with empty buildings and fast food on every corner. You mentioned McCrory's 5 and 10. Back when I was little there was a Woolworth's 5 and 10 as the only "department" store, a small locally owned Kroger grocery store and a locally owned pharmacy in town. Now you can go to Walmart for everything.
Reminds me of alot of the small towns and cities in Massachusetts here.. Loved the old fire station turned into a restaurant..
The Switchback Railroad that is the start of roller coasters
What a wonderful job you have done with this walking store. Loved the commentary and attention to detail. I really enjoyed it...thanks!
Beautiful little town! I love small towns like that, with a main street, and cute little shops along the way. I read on Google that Jim Thorpe never set foot in that town but yet he is buried there. Thanks so much for the video, I really enjoyed it!
What a picturesque and quaintly beautiful town 😍 it sort of looks like one of Thomas Kincaid's paintings. I can only imagine how gorgeous it looks at night since it is so very pretty in the daylight 😍
I had quite a case of gypsy feet...did a lot of moving around until I finally started to settle down and look for a more permanent place in my 30's.
I love places like this...the places with that small town feeling 🥰
Truly a wonderful experience taking this walk through town with y'all ! ❤
Thanks for a great tour of this beautiful town, y'all keep on doing what you do 🥰 😊 Blessed be and travel safe 🥰❤
That sliding ice really made me laugh! I imagine it was super scary at the time, yet hilarious. Gorgeous town. Thanks for the tour.
🤣
This is such a lovely video, I have enjoyed it so much. It is like stepping back in time. Thank you for sharing it with us JP. God bless you. I do enjoy watching your videos.
My pleasure Caroline
I love this place. I visited quite a few times and many places to explore. I'm glad the train ride is still running, they were talking about closing it down. Night time looks really pretty. Thanks for your videos...
Its amazing here at night
I happened to pause at 6:29 for a bit. I noticed that it makes a really good still pic. It shows the tower, the Christmas tree, the historical marker, and the wonderful sunshine. It's good to pause sometimes to get better appreciation of your shots.
I usually spot nice shots when im not filming. They often get missed when occupied with filming and chat.
Really enjoyed the tour ...reminded me of your Christmas village layout . Love the quaint old buildings . Thank you so much for taking us to Jim Thorpe . ...loved every minute !
Wait until you see the night time video.
I want to thank you very much for this video! It has touched my heart because you see I grew up in Jim Thorpe in the late 50s and early 60s, so you can imagine how old I am now! LOL but I've been away from it for 43 years but it is still my favorite town in the whole world! I was a little disappointed that you did not make your way up to what is now called Stone row but it was called Race Street! A big block houses all glued together.... Windows only in the front of the house and in the back of the house! Loved it! When I was 10 my parents decided to move downtown and if you noticed the big hotel on Broadway right up the street from the courthouse, we got an appointment right across the street.... A huge building called the Peter Vatis building if you look at the top of the building you can see the man's name written right at the very top! We lived on the third floor.... No elevator, lots of steps but we didn't mind because we loved the apartment..... Huge rooms and huge windows and the best part was we could hang out the window on a summer night and looked directly over at the American Hotel where many of famous stars lodged during the filming of the Molly Maguires and other documentaries! We were awestruck at them sitting on the upper porch with their champagne and there's cigarettes in cigarette holders! And believe it or not, even in 1957 downtown Broadway was hopping on the weekend nights!
People who grew up there as children we were free to explore the whole town and there are so many Secret places that you would never be able to find unless someone showed you! And they were a couple of very old castles that were almost gutted to the ground and we would play in them and pretend that we were queens and kings.... pure magical childhood!! Also oh, you should find your way to the top of Hill Street which begins very flat but ends up being the steepest hill you can imagine and the Braves kids wood sleigh ride down that Hill! Oh I could go on and on but I must apologize for such a long comment but this video took me back and I've lived in many towns since I left there but I never encountered the magic of my hometown anywhere else! Again thank you so much!
Thanks so much for commenting and sharing. Ill be returning to check out some other parts of town that you and others have mentioned. Thanks for watching.
I also did a night time Christmas version
this is Bonnie JP..ty for a wonderful walkthough..loved it!!
this is awsome!! i love seeing PA. looks like such a awsome state all the time. Careful the storm coming your way JP!
I don't know how I missed this one. I saw the night one. Thank you.
I just love taking walks! Beautiful!
💙
Love Jim Thorpe
Hi jP this is so beautiful like a post card love the buildings windows doors the colours and homes can't wait for the night Thanks for showing this town during the day gorgeous 👍.😂 u got spooked.
😁💙
Those brackets under the soffits are called cornices
The “stacked bay windows” on a building corner is a turret.
Ty
I throughly enjoyed the town walk. I felt as though I was walking right with you. I love city/town history. You did a great job.Thank you. Hope you can get to Southeest Virginia and walk some of our towns. One in particular would be Abingdon, VA. Home of the famous Barter Theater.
I'd love to get there
Also, in my city, Bristol, VA/TN.we have some interesting places....like on VA side we have the Birthplace of country music and on TN side we have the fastest half mile racetrack, Bristol Speedway.
This was so enjoyable and just what I needed this Christmas especially. Thank you.
My pleasure
Another one of my favorite videos JP, i love seeing the amazing architecture in PA. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Statue says: good afternoon JP, nice to see you. It's cold outside, come in for for some hot chocolate and a ham and egg and cheese bacon egg and cheese grill cheese.
Nice to hear from you again
@@JPVideos81 i see youtube unsubscribed me from your channel, but i also had major problems with my old phone. So i had to completey sign back into my youtube account, really great to see you JP. 👍👍👍👍👍
Heading that way one day soon to explore PA is on my bucket list.
You'll love it
The house across from the jail you were talking about is a guest house, has a few different size room you can rent for the week or weekend. If you go up the street that runs along the side of the guest house and follow it back and up the hill there is a neat house that has a lot of art work mostly made of old glass bottles on the law. Also the Marion hose bar has some delicious food!
Awesome. Thanks for the info
Such a beautiful town! I wish architecture was still interesting today like it was in the past, buildings, cars, and even train engines have become square and plain looking and lost the character they once had. Thanks for sharing this beautiful place JP!
I agree. Glad we have places like this to bring us back to a better time.
Mauch Chunk means bear place in native Munsee-Lenape. This was a great video. I want to go there now. I'm hittin' the bell.
Turrets, those building facades are called : )
Thanks
I wish I was able to catch it live, but I had some stuff come up. This is one beautiful neck of the woods for sure.
No worries
Gorgeous!
I can’t wait until September we are taking a girls trip here.
Great video:) IN my neck of the woods. Check out the abandoned structure in Weatherly if you can. Very COOL!!!!
Just caught up with this video, there are some lovely buildings, loved the ones with turrets. The walking around gives a better look & closer look at the town
Hope you enjoyed the walk as well, even though you were filming.
Thanks for catching the replay
Great video! Really enjoyed it.
Thanks
JP,
My wife's sister lived near the town up in the Pocono Mts.
We took a quick tour a long time ago and all I remember is listening to the brook/river that ran under the street.
I've learned more from your video than I ever knew before:)
Cheers,
Rik Spector
There are a lot of Bears in that area but I don't know if they visit the town during the Christmas Holidays:)
Thanks for watching and commenting
Awesome
Wow, excellent video!!
Ty
Thanks for the video JP. Loved the place beautiful architecture interesting old jail. Snake jerkey I don't think so 🤔. Take care have a grand Christmas and holidays will your family!!😎🐓🐓🇬🇧
Same to you
Small towns are the best!!!
I love them
Very nice! Just went thru there on Thursday! I got a few picts up on my facebook photo page Through the Smoke Photography
Muggles is Harry Potter themed the drinks are named after potions nice place
Really lovely town.Our country has beautiful towns and cities and country sides. But what is sad is that progress bringing in more taking out a lot of the beauty. And taking out trees and putting in more concrete .The old buildings of yesteryear that are still standing shows the beauty there was ,and our brand child gets to let them know that history was so beautiful and that their grandparents really had a lot to be proud of. I know I loved learning of what my grandmother told me about.
Thanks for stopping by
Our first stop was Muggles Mug but they had run outta milk so we couldn't get anything
seems like a great place to go
Indeed
@@JPVideos81 I loved the train station
Wow my brain can't believe all this is up further from the opera house. I seriously thought is was going to be more rural around the bend.
Lots to see
Have you been to the Indian School cemetery in Carlisle? Jim Thorpe went to the Indian School there. The school has an interesting and sad history.
I havent
My parents took me here all the time 80s/early 90s when we lived in Laury's Station PA. Amazing town, great memories
Lucky you! I didnt discover this beautiful town until I became an adult lol.
I really love that town. It really looks like an awesome place to visit or live. This town is on my bucket list of places to visit. Really enjoyed the walk thru. Thank you and God bless
Another small town with history is Honesdale, PA.
I've been there before for the Stourbridge line railroad. I plan on visiting again.
Speaking of Panda Express...i bought my first meal yesterday and thought of you. lol
What did you think?
The Absthem House Restaurant is two houses together. Your assumption of it being doors was right that was the other houses door.
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
so weird....i had no idea this town was named after someone!
I suppose you got long johns on cuz just a hoodie in 30 degree weather do not seem like enough. Coming from a lady in the Sonora desert of Arizona. I freeze when its 70 or less. LOL.
I typically like cooler weather. I've been known to wear shorts in the winter.
Were you thinking of a Plaza?
Yes. Plaza or courtyard.
J,,
Those are Alice in Wonderland images in a modern retake.
You saw the "down the Rabbit Hole "door just before them.
Rik
Ah. Ok
I have heard houses like this with three or more colors are referred to as "Painted Ladies." I don't know why.
Looks like a Christmas card town. Just beautiful, thanks JP. Have you ever thought of checking out Stoudtburg Village in Adamstown? I always wanted to go there, even though people say it's very quiet during winter time.
Edit: BTW who would thumb down a tour video? People can be so mean. SMH
Nice video, JP....
And I used to live in Switzerland.....it doesn't remind me of Switzerland at all. 😂😂😂 It's beautiful tho.
Never heard of that town. Well for those of us who never visited Switzerland, we can imagine its similar lol.
@@JPVideos81
You never heard of it? Really? It looks like a place you might like to see.
It's like a half hour north of Lancaster. Here's a website...
www.stoudtburgvillage.com/
It's like a little Bavarian Village.
I like walk and talk.
Thanks
1:22 :30 -BOO! You got scared. So funny!
Jay, this is another town I definitely would love to see. Had to catch the replay, day off running errands. Stocking up on cleaning and toiletries before Christmas 🎄.
Add it to the list lol
You are in my old stomping grounds. Sigh!!🎄💎🎅
The jail is extremely haunted. Did a tour years ago and I promise it will give you pause and scare the 💩 out of you.
Sounds like my kinda place
When you do your walk through at night for the decorations, do a walk and talk.
Reminiscent of the. French Quarter in New Orleans
Yes
You just walked by my grandma's house
😲
Turquoise?
Lol - as soon as I posted this, you said "turquoise, thats what I'm looking for. " 🙃
Lol
🥰🥰🥰🥰
