I can’t say it enough, Yankee In The South is the best (family friendly) channel for information about the do’s/don’ts, food, and fun in and around the Smokies! Always a new adventure just around the corner. Just remember, no need to look anywhere else!
thanks for the video guys!! when i go through withdrawal from being away from the Smokies, i just watch your videos and get my fix!!! its always fun walking through Gatlinburg!
That was quite the nostalgic walk around Gatlinburg, with lots of new places and store front places😍 Forever growing and forever changing....ANYTHING to attract the masses😅 Thanks for the exercise, and I never got up from my chair🐾🦊🐺
Anytime I want to visit my favorite place on earth I watch your videos. I have been coming to the Mtns and surrounding areas since I was 6 months old, over 60 years. I have seen so many changes. Thank you for these videos. I enjoy them immensely and the info is great. Looking forward to many more adventures.
Just found this video thank you both for giving us a trip down memory lane!!! Brought tears to my eyes so many good times there with my Mom that’s no longer with me😢 but your video put a smile on my face!
Love the cubby hole areas off the main road with all the little store fronts and alley ways like a beautiful European village 🤗 I remember my first visits and falling in love with those carolina blue saffire trees I actually was able to locate one and planted it in my yard several years back and it's really a good size to decorate for a 🎄Christmas tree now and has that beautiful silvery blue folliage...reminds me of the mountains that I love.. where I first seen it.. 😊Enjoyed the stroll Thanks Will and Dawn 😊👍
We stayed at the Black Bear when it was the Clarion Inn. The balcony rooms overlooking the parkway are nice. The manager upgraded us to a presidential suite one time and the suites are very nice. Enjoyed your walk thru town. Thanks for taking us along.
Great video, thanks so much for showing us Gatlinburg on a “less crowded” day. Normally we avoid crowded touristy type places, but after seeing your video, I’m looking forward to visiting it during the next trip thru Tennessee!
Will and Dawn really enjoyed walking through Gatlinburg with u guys, hopefully next week Tara and I will be walking there too. Thanks for sharing ur walk I really enjoyed it 👍🏻from Kentucky 😀
Been watching y'all's videos since the beginning.. Gatlinburg was where I got my first job n came back many summers to work..hadn't been back since the fire and yall kept me informed and kept that nostalgia train rolling..thanks
I do miss the old Gatlinburg. My family use to go there every year once or twice. I felt like it was a second home. lol. I don’t go there anymore. It’s changed too much and is too crowded. It doesn’t feel the same. So… it makes me a little sad.
Gatlinburg looks unusually quiet today --such a nice place to visit --My inlaws used to manage the Park Vista and we had a wonderful time there about 20 years ago years ago----the town has really grown since then--nice memories !!!!
I had it in December. Take time to rest! Take vitamin C, D and Zinc. If you need more look up Frontline Doctor's to see about getting HCQ or Ivermectin. We will be praying for your quick recovery!🙏🙏🙏
Enjoyed this video guys👍. We are definitely hoping to get back to our beloved Smoky Mountains sometime soon. It’s hard to believe that it has been nearly two years, September 2019, since we all got together at the meetup! Time does fly! Thanks for these updates, it is the next best thing to being there😊
Love your videos . Here’s an idea , do a series of videos where a couple can eat breakfast, get a lunch snack, and eat a nice dinner all for under say $100.00 a couple a day. Just a thought 🤗
Thanks you for sharing this video in Gathering I have not been for many years years I from Knoxville and now I live Nashville Tennessee thank again for sharing this is beautiful please
Hey guys seen you walking the other day by marathon gas station Southside of gatlinburg.i yelled Yankee in the south ,I was in a suburban.good to see you both
Literally everything you could want to know is in this Video. One day I shall be experiencing this for myself and will have all the information I need. My Aunts from Arizona will be very impressed lol. Thank you 🙏
Hey will and dawn, great video as always! Went to pigeon forge and gatlinburg in june and had a great time thanks to your smokey mountain videos. You guys are the best!
We were there two weeks ago! Beautiful! The only complaint we had was the traffic!!! Took us an hour and half to drive thru town! Wall to wall on a week day! Smoky Mountains were spectacular!!!
Thank you foe the walk through Gatlinburg. I love shops like God’s Grace. I like Five Guys too. We have not been there to the Smokies in 2 years now. We used to come twice a year. Mr McNasty messed up our traveling. I miss it so much. Hope to come back as soon as we can. Love your channel. Thanks. 😊🐻
Awesome video guys. Thanks for sharing this with us. Shoneys is a good place to eat. We ate at the one in Cookeville TN a few times while down on vacation. Stay well.... William
Cookevilles shut down a couple years ago. No warning they just closed and sign still says closed for renovations but it’s said that for a couple years.
@@derrickyates4318 Really that's too bad. It was a good place to go. We haven't been down now for 2 years or so. Thanks for the information. Cookeville TN is a nice city. We like being there. Lot of good there. William
The hotel where Illusions was located was Cooper Court. I stayed there with my parents in the 60's. Gatlinburg was much smaller and had a lot of green space back then. I miss that and all the locally owned shops.
So good to see you guys back in Gatlinburg today. I also recall that gas station on the corner having been there as long as I can remember also. Miss some of the older places that called it quits, or we’re torn down for progress such as The Burning Bush Restaurant, The Happy Hiker. In the same shopping area, there was even a small laundromat and a shower facility where if you were a hiker/backpacker, you could come into town, wash your clothes, get a hot shower, and go out for a resupply and nice dinner.
Hello from Texas Will and Dawn...Another great adventure...i love you guy's i can watch y'all all day..so many fun adventures!!! love every video, great reviews and information...y'all are the best, god bless y'all
Great video, loved it! I try to go a couple of times a year. Seems like something is different each time. Looks like the Crazy Mason is where the Drunken Donuts used to be? My go to hotel is The Gatlinburg Inn. That said when we go to Dollywood's Halloween festival were staying at the Abby Lodge for something different. Have a good trip on Route 66. Not something I want to do but will enjoy watching you guys make the trip! Stay Safe!!
I stayed at The Days Inn, and you’re right it’s not as nice of a place to stay. The staff was friendly, but we learned a lesson, to put it nicely. Love the channel!
What a wonderful walk. We were just there this weekend and stayed at Riverhouse at the Park. They told us the Skylift had bought the old Riverhouse property (that burned) and was using that land to expand their park.
Lots of new stuff since last spring. I’m coming back in November. Ole Dad’s has a decent selection of breakfast biscuits. I stop in there occasionally. Parking is becoming a cost concern, I have started considering that when I book my room.
Man,things sure have changed since I was a kid. Back then there were a lot of Indian stuff at the stores. The real handmade moccasins that didn't have the modern shoe soles. I wore out several pairs of those. I remember a gold jewelry store that you could get real or plated gold jewelry. I always loved the smell of the cigar shop in the mall. I dont know if thats there anymore either. It was busy even way back then but NOTHING like it is now. Y'all must have been there pretty early in the morning doing this video. Thanks for showing all of the new and different stores.
Hi guys, loved the video. Also wanted to know if you will still be doing meet and greets 11-4-21. My husband and I are so excited that we are getting back to Gatlinburg. We have so enjoyed your videos and we were hoping to get to meet you both in person. Let me know. We would love to take you guys for breakfast or lunch if you are available. We've been coming to Gatlinburg since our honeymoon many years ago. Lol We love being here in Florida now but love the mountains,too. Thanks for all the videos. Love the opening and the music you have with the videos.😊🐻🌲🙏
I really like gatlinburg , used to go when I was a kid , I’m 40 now and took the wife and kids there at the beginning of august so about 4 weeks ago . It was insanely busy . Eating , parking, anything you wanted to do was a long wait. Next time we go I think I’ll pick a different time of year ..I’m guessing summer is probably the worst time to go
you guys are great..luv all your reviews..i been to this area Ohhh bout 4 times ..an my wife an I love it..we keep coming back.she absolutely loves the Christmas place..its a must to always stop there when we arrive.....LOL....an were visiting this November for her birthday surprise......maybe ill bump into you guys while I'm there..LOL thanks for all ur updates they all help us out a lot....just wondering are u a true Yankee baseball fan..or just a Yankee..LO
Thanks guys! We are looking forward to going to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, etc. in late October. We are pulling our 5th wheel and camping up at the Dam campground you did a review on last year. We have a question for you. Is there a place in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge to park a large 3/4 ton 4 door F-250 truck? We want to make sure there is room enough to park or whether we should rent a car when we're there. Thank you! We love your shows!
Will and Dawn we stayed at the black bear across from Crockett’s over the easter holiday this year and its a nice hotel but nothing special the rooms are kinda small we had a room on the 3rd floor with a balcony facing the strip it was the noisiest place we have ever stayed while we have visited Gatlinburg
Have y'all stayed at Carr's Cottages? My family stayed there when I was young. I want my family to stay there but can never get it worked out for everyone to be there.
Thank you for the video...I enjoyed it very much... What day was this video made?? Because it wasn't very busy....Dawn you look very beautiful..That hair cut looks good on you and that color looks good too... Y'all have a great day...nita🙏👍😊❤️
Is there more activities in pigeon fort than this area? Or are they the same place? I’m not familiar with the area at all. I’m food overload watching this . Thanks for showing me around.
