I live in Missouri but looking to move out there so knowing the exact city you're going into would greatly help.

Interesting videos but a suggestion I'll make is when you cross into different city's it would be helpful to pop up the city name on the screen.

Thanks for watching! You can see the city names on the signs as you enter each jurisdiction. Better seen on a TV, not a cell phone. In this video it’s Charlotte, Belmont (after we go under I-485), Cramerton, then Gastonia.

Actually we watched it on a TV and we noticed the signs. Just a couple were hard to make out. Just a suggestion but overall great video.
