Just missed y'all! My wife and I were staying on Orchard Gap and visited Meadows of Dan, VA, Mount Airy, NC, and Hillsville. The Hillmont Mercantile was quaint and I sat in a rocking chair waitin' for the wife who was in an antique store...with her new cowgirl hat that looks just like the one you said Melody took from ya🤠
Oh, hey Melody and Shane....next time y'all in Hillsville, stop at The Mason Jar bar & grill off US 221 in Hickory Ridge plaza! Wife and I ate there. Great food and very affordable👍
It's been a while since I've been to the Hillsville Flea Market, but I hope to get to go next year. We always enjoyed parking in someone's yard and staying overnight in our vehicle so we could get up bright and early to shop shop shop. Hillsville is such a neat town; I would love to go there sometime and spend a day or two just enjoying the beauty. Thanks for bringing back some memories of my many trips there and rekindling my interest in returning!
Great channel! Keep going. I get to see Virginia without spending money on gas. I'm from Long Island. I never get to travel, but I love this area. You guys do a great presentation. I take my vacation on the cheap with your channel. Very nice. I'm a fan.
We just found your channel and are enjoying it. We have a cabin just down the road near Fancy Gap, so had to watch this one and the Galax ones first. We love the area and usually catch one or both flea markets and go to the Rex and downtown Galax. Its interesting to learn about other towns and places that are within a days drive.
Catching up on y'alls videos! Really enjoyed this! We stopped at B&P Drive-in many times on our way to Winston-Salem. We always went that way to races at Bowman-Gray Stadium. We nicknamed it "the burp & puke"! LOL! Been that route many times. If you'd turned left at Hardee's that's the way we went. I remember my dad telling us about the shooting when I was pretty young. My parents loved to go to the large veggie & fruit place in the big white bldg just past the Allen House. We loved going into Cana too to the old flea market & fruit/veggie stands. Brought back some good memories. Museum was awesome. Hate showing my age but a lot of the household stuff looked familiar! Y'all stay safe & thanks for sharing these memorable places!
when I lived in Galax which is in grayson county it was a dry county, no distilled spirits, the closest ABC store was in hilsville, so I mad many trips there, whoops telling too much, LOL
there is A old 4h camp just out side of hills vill have been there in years

OMG😱😱😱😱 the house at the end is ABSOLUTELYYYYYYYY GORGEOUS!!!!💗💗💗💗💗💗 I'd luv to see what the inside Luks like ....TYSVM for the ride along Shane & melody🤗
Miss 221 and working in Mt Airy in textiles. Back when papa was running shine and working at Radford arsenal, Franklin Co wasn't the shine capital. My clan married into the Allen clan or vice versa. I still have the original book (if you wanna call it that) about the courthouse shootout. Miss the yearly bluegrass festival too at the vfw were the flea market is held every year
Hell as a young Marine swooping home to Ohio. On weekends from camp lejune n c. I would stop in hills ville to buy gas. 29cents a gal. In 1973. I was driving my 1969 mustang just as fast as I could. To get home. Stopped one day for a hair cut. Old barber shop. Had a pic about the killings. And I was told the story.
Shane and Melody, you two are such a good couple. Remind me of my wife and I back in the 1980s. I like your videos.I am Appalachian born, Appalachian bred, when done I'll be Appalachian dead.
The Sidna Allen house is being renovated and I think just opened to the public labor day weekend. There are several books on the shooting, going to read one of them eventually. I know somebody here in NC that is from the Allen family. After that deal, some of the descendants had to move and change their last name.
Shades of the shootout at the OK Corral! 54 vs 57 shots, Democrats vs Republicans, 3 vs 5 dead. Good job guys. Now my wife "has got to go" to the Hillsville flea market! &$_+%@\\#/*! It's getting to where I can't afford to watch you two! J/K of course. Great job and FWIW, you two are so easy to listen two. Good bless you both...
My family and hubby's are from this area, me from Galax and he from Hillsville. Beautiful, beautiful country!
Saw 3 of my gg-grandpas photos on the wall! Fantastic! Webb, Burcham, Smith.
Galax native here.
I really like this kind of video. Small towns and their history. You don't see that much these days. Great job.

Born and raised in Hillsville. My parents lived pretty much in the middle of the flea market.
Hillsville is my hometown. I loved watching your video.

Shame y'all weren't in town last weekend. Free tours of the inside of the Allen house!!
Ugh, wish we’d have known, would love to see inside it
Love that courthouse Monument!! Used to go to the Shoneys in Springfield TN
Heels veal is larger but sort of reminds me of the Reidsville, NC, or Stokesdale areas.
i agree with the name of hillsville
Hell as a young Marine swooping home to Ohio. On weekends from camp lejune n c.

You two are too cute together. I feel like I'm sitting on the dash board like a fly on the wall 😊
Shane and Melody, you two are such a good couple. Remind me of my wife and I back in the 1980s. I like your videos.I am Appalachian born, Appalachian bred, when done I'll be Appalachian dead.
That's awesome
8th and 16th step! Hmm, kinda weird. Cool history story.

Klamath falls Oregon is watching
Thats my home town 💝
I live in Bristol. Enjoy watching your videos.
I live in Bristol now too. Thanks for watching and commenting
You guys are too funny
😂😊
Its fun here
Hills-ville pronunciation is correct.
The largest flea market west of the Mississippi is in Denten, Texas. I think ita about 4500 acres, its huge
Denton
We say Luoy ville too Melody. For Louisville
We live about 15 miles west of Hillsville. The Labor Day flea market is the big draw. B&P has the best burgers!
As usual, the woman was right. Why would you say Hillsvul?
