I own a barbershop in Martinsburg, West Virginia. We love our town and her history. Part of what i do and what my barbers have embraced is to share the history of the area and therefore promote tourism and exploration. (I could go into great detail but want to be mindful not to violate terms of use, etc). I love to also suggest day trips or weekend extersions to Gettysburg. I stumbled upon your TH-cam channel this morning before i get ready for my workday. This is a great channel! I'd love to coordinate with you guys! Thank you and have a great day!
Ah the barber shop. Even my bald grandfathers went to one. Everything can be learned at the barber. Coordinating is a good idea. You can contact us through www.addressinggettysburg.com
Wouldn’t that be the big thing. Like Martin and Lewis reuniting. Even though Matt and Garry were never a team, but you know what I mean. Do you have a topic suggestion?
@@addressinggettysburg I figured Chip and Dale or Burt and Ernie, or Michael Richard's and Jerry Stiller could come up with something good. At least u and I are on same wave length. Oh, best to add an hour to the broadcast for all the jokes that will carry them off topic. U may need a squirt bottle too.
I have the giggles so bad right now. I'm the one who suggested Garry and Atkinson to pair for a show. I got em pegged. And it just popped into my head. Lol!!! They're the grumpy old men in the balcony on the Muppets!!!
At the old Larsons, I remember The General Lee restaurant being there. The amusement park behind Little Round Top the band director at my high school was the entertainment director he left there and became the entertainment director at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Jack Aldridge was friends with Jim Getty, who would perform Lincoln.
This is the stuff that fascinates me. Started college as a history major, had to take economics anyway and gravitated into a business major and eventually my MBA / CPA. A history nerd, I eat this stuff up and read like crazy. Would love your job. Tempted at times to leave the office behind. I come to Gettysburg about 3x a year on the Harley (camp out at the KOA in Ortanna) and learn something new every visit. The military stuff is ok, but I like the human experience element. Been reading about the smells. I know what is like when there is one road kill on my street. I can't imagine with all of the horses, body parts, bodies, etc. Someone once told me on a tour that the townspeople were concerned at the time of Lincoln's visit in November because some areas still smelled bad. No front-end loaders or backhoes either. Must've been some job to be on the cleanup crew.
I think the most obvious remaining part of the Trolley can be seen near the road that skirts the Rose Farm. I used to walk my dogs over it, it still has stone bridges that the trolley would cross over some streams on its way towards the triangular field.
@@addressinggettysburg I think I did lol. I finished 45th out of 200 but they only moved the top 43 on to tier 2 so maybe not? I'll try again after I retire from coaching hoops. It's impossible to get done in December and coach basketball.
Couple questions of geography, was able to go only for a day this summer, is the area where the big horse statues of Hancock and Howard east cemetery hill? looking down onto culps hill? And is that emmitsburg road, the road between those statues and the cemetery?, then that runs down to virginia monument? Then how do you get to the seminary where the copula is from the cemetery arch entrance? Will definitely go back for a couple days next time, thanks for video
That is East Cemetery Hill. The road is the Baltimore Pike. Emmitsburg Road goes between cemetery and seminary ridges. The Virginia memorial is on West Confederate Ave. To get to the seminary from the cemetery, head north on Baltimore, then west on West Middle St until you get to Seminary Ave.
When I first went in 1991, I seem to remember traffic on Sickles Ave near Devils den going in the opposite direction. Am I misremembering or were my parents one of those tourists who invariably go the wrong way?
I do believe you are correct. I seem to remember a change in traffic patterns since I started coming here in the 90s. Hell, Warren Ave used to be 2 ways not even 15 years ago.
Didn’t Ulysses Grant specify to have carriages with both a Union and Confederate Veteran inside to symbolize the healing of the country in his funeral procession in NYC?
@@addressinggettysburg Even more symbolic. But was referring to the procession that had a number of carriages following the casket in a procession in NYC
Just discovered this podcast and love Tim and Gary..but I never knew Gary identified as LGB (ok, neat)......it wasn't until later I realized that it stands for Licensed Battlefield Guide 🤦
Lol. No. That wasn't me. I literally just discovered this podcast. But it shouldn't surprise you that there are multiple bone-heads with the same bone-head reactions 😂 it would be in poor taste to be bent out of shape. Do your thing Gary, your work is sound.
One snippet I picked up on here was the former popularity of the 1st MN over the 20th ME. I never had heard of the 1st MN until about 18 months ago when I began returning to Gettysburg as an adult and I had been going to Gettysburg from the late 80s to the early 00s as a kid. My parents must have been Killer Angel's fans. Thanks for the
As a long time reenactor ... who researches information before i disseminate... Love the comment(s) concerning uniformed (is there another kind?) reenactors ALWAYS being incorrect in the information they were providing to visitors ... must be nice to always be correct, yes, gentlemen? I've never charged for information, and always acknowledge if I don't know the answer. Lol, look up Hubris in the dictionary (do they still publish, those?), and guess who's pictured?😂 You guys are great, but try and keep it in persepective. Humility is a virtue, and nobody ( hint, hint) is perfect.
@@addressinggettysburg 🤣 that sounds extremely familiar…but I can’t place it! I keep thinking Micheal Keaton says the line? But I’m not convinced that is right. I was tempted to look it up, but didn’t want to cheat! What movie is it?
Garry-ism of the decade; "So many people try to prove themselves RIGHT...if only we could convince more people to practice the discipline of proving themselves WRONG."
All you gotta do is just cut down the tree and count its rings. If it's got more than 161 rings as of 2024 then it is a "witness tree." Well it was a witness tree. It's fire wood now. Hope this helps!
Doesn’t that depend on the breed of tree? I thought that is an accurate way to determine age for most but not all. But I like the firewood part of your comment lol
Hey guys,
I LOVE the way Tim slows his speech pattern to emphasize importance of a fact or name!
Keep on, keepin' on, Tim!
Yeah that’s our favorite thing he does
Loved this with Garry and Tim anytime!!! I really like when ya'll do in live! More please! Thanks so very much!
We will when we can. Glad you enjoyed it
The TVA did not condemn land for highways. They did it to build a series of hydroelectric dams.
👍 thanks for the correction!
Best way to start a Monday morning!
Glad we could help
Damn right! Two of my heroes.
This is pure gold! I’m so in awe by these gentleman. Right up there on my bucket list I’d to meet Garry and Tim! Thank you for this! More, please!
Finally finished this marathon podcast. Thoroughly enjoyed it. What a wealth of Gettysburg knowledge and two great presenters.

I just got off work and was heading to bed… but not now! You guys are great!!!
Enjoyed this. Have an idea for u and I hope u will follow through. A show with both Matt Atkinson and Garry Adelman. Thanks and keep up the good work.

All that was gone by the time I got here but I do talk to a lot of people with fond memories of those times
The big brick buildings off Taneytown Road. Didn't they have something to do with the trolley / maintenance?
Yes it is the maintenance building.

Yep.
I was in a group tour with Garry and Tim and I believe we followed the old trolley tour road.
Probably
Thanks guys for the show. Made this dreary Monday a lot better. Hello from muscle shoals aladamnbama. Roll Tide!
Hello Muscle Shoals! Glad we could help you through your Monday morning!
Boy I sure could have used this before I took the Guide test. Love it! Thank you.

“Did you say Abe Lincoln?”!
Garry finally made it to the board
Awesome video! Worth watching a second time.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Had to come back for a second watch. Great stuff

You're welcome!
Super fantastic guys. The show keeps getting better.
Thank you!
I was at the 1976 reenactment and forget the farm it was held on ,, do you know tim ?
Not sure, but here’s a news report I found about it th-cam.com/video/BxKSOm6D3HU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ftZjtOKyhtqbYPro
Great!
thanks!
Triple header gettys-goodness!!!
haha well done
We love you long Tim !!!!!! That is funny !!!!!!!!!
lol a classic
I’ve been to Battery Dantzler. Near Richmond. That was funny 😆
glad you got a laugh
What on Earth does if a meteor falls on us have to do with Gettysburg
Well, one landed near here, for one and this is an episode about the history of the park, not the battle.
You need Tim and Garry on weekly.
I wish they had the time!
How do you find “ unknown round top”that they talked about
Good question. I’d Google it.
Yes, it is on the Trust‘s TH-cam channel. Unknown little round top
@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust I found it and enjoyed it, thank you
Didn’t Ulysses Grant specify to have carriages with both a Union and Confederate Veteran inside to symbolize the healing of the country in his funeral procession in NYC?
Are you referring to his ex-confederate pall bearers?

Ranger Matt's my favorite "right der"!
💯
There’s a lot of good episodes, but this might be your finest. Easy for me to say, but can they all go on this long :-)
Thank you. Any episode with Garry and Tim or Garry or Tim is somewhere in my top 20
Prnounceation I remember being " gettisburg " , right tim Gary and Matt ?
“Pronunciation” lol it seems to be that native Gettysburgers whose families go way back say “Gettis…”. But I’ll maintain that it’s “Get-tees”
Just discovered this podcast and love Tim and Gary..but I never knew Gary identified as LGB (ok, neat)......it wasn't until later I realized that it stands for Licensed Battlefield Guide 🤦
Hahaha was that you commented when this first came out, all bent out of shape because you thought we were announcing his sexuality?
It stands for “Licensed Battlefield Guide”
