Awesome video, having done 2 back to back west coast trips, and 3 in 4 years, as much as i enjoy watching your videos of them, i think it makes sense money and time wise to stay closer to home this time for your 2017 trip, i was figuring you might check out FLA this year and sure enough you are, i cant wait for your videos of FLA
Excellent looking video and a great ride. Thanx for the Allman Bros. I miss them already. Great song selections. One Way Out recorded live from one of the greatest music venues of all time, the Fillmore East run by the late, great Bill Graham, Nice guy, got to meet him back in the early 80's. Eat A Peach, Eat The Peach. Will always remember Brothers Duane & Greg and Butch Trucks & Berry Oakley & Allen Woody. Thanx for posting this.
Thank you, I don't usually like to use live recordings but "One Way Out" is one of the better one's sound depth and quality wise, you don't feel like you are losing anything with it.
Mike Hunt just fyi hardees and Carl's jr. are the same thing but Carl's jr. is west coast on the other hand hardees is east coast. that is all i am telling you.
Nice going, my friend. As a matter of fact, I'm planning to go to Atlanta next weekend. Looking forward to go down there to enjoy myself and the others.
Very familiar territory here, having lived in Gwinnett County a good chunk of my life in two stints separated by about fifteen years in California. Spent many weekends at Stone Mountain with my family when I was a kid. And a wonderful tribute to Greg Allman. R.I.P.
Nice tribute with the Allman Brothers at the end- good way to respect his memory- great ride and looking forward to the future videos! Nice ride- good soundtrack! Always enjoy your videos!
Having been to Atlanta several times, and having lived in Ohio Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin, for most of my life I'm still rather stunned to see buildings above the expressways and long stretches of parks, and parking lots over them as well. Here in snow country, they'd be leaking in a few years, and falling in 10 even with constant clearing.
I can't wait for your new videos . I was thinking in March of 2017 that Jim will Go to Florida and I was right . So hopefully that you will go to : Tampa , St. Petersburg , Florida I-75 , Miami , Key west , Orlando , Jacksonville , I-95 Florida , Savannah , Charleston , Columbia , Augusta and more .
Not going to Orlando but will get what I can from the other places listed. Also, there is no point filming I-75 and I-95 outside of urban areas, Zzzzzzz.
Ahh Atlanta, asphalt jungle in the pines. Haha, I love it though. Also great selection of music, perhaps you could fit Allman Bros. -Jessica in some video in the future? Great work!
Hey Freewayjim. Love all of your videos. Especially since I was born and raised in ATL myself! Im here in NOLA now. How about doing more videos here!!?!
Great video as always. Looking forward to the US-1 video in the Keys. Have you ever considered doing a video on I-70 through southeastern Utah? It's extremely desolate but the landscape is one-of-a-kind and gorgeous
Thanks, I've driven I-70 as far west as Salinas Utah, yeah it's a great drive and well worth filming, you have top keep in mind that unless I'm alone someone else does the filming and I have to be fair to them, can't filming everything....unless I go solo.
Going through Atlanta's Freeway was amazing! Bet you had to get to work by going through it every day? And I can't wait to see you go down Florida's highway there's alot great sites down in Florida.
I don't know why I love even the coastal, more tropical (palmetto-filled) states like Florida and South Carolina so much, but I cannot tell you how excited I am for this season (all of the seasons have been very exciting to me, however). I hope you have a great trip, Jim! If I have any suggestions for filming rural interstates on your trip, it might be I-75 in south Georgia because of the newly completed construction. I like how the pavement offers a nice variety, as it intermittently switches from asphalt to concrete and back and such. There are also a lot of new overpasses out of the construction, I think. I'd say I-75 in south GA offers a break from all of the trees, as it offers, for much of it, a lot of open farmland and fields. Just a thought, but whatever you film, Jim, I am unbelieveably excited to see. I know there will probably be a lot of interesting bridges too, and I am looking forward to seeing US 1 in the Florida Keys. :)
Oh, and just yesterday, I got back from a trip with my family to Charleston, SC, and I filmed a lot of roads and bridges on that trip. So I am excited to see what you will have filmed.
Great day and great video! Would love to have seen the diverging diamond interchange at Ashford Dunwoody as part of this tour, but not complaining. What I'd really like to ask is that you give serious consideration to including the Turnpike/439 super-interchange just west of Orlando as part of your Florida tour. Turnpike to I-4 to Tampa, or Turnpike to the 429 to I-4 to Tampa. The beautiful rolling hill country along the Turnpike is changing fast, and it ought to be chronicled in video.
We have three diverging Diamonds in Metro Atlanta, none are really worth a video as I don't think it would translate that well, they are all in really tight soaces. Not going near Orlando on this trip.
Thanks a lot for the trip in Atlanta Area. Why sometimes (eg 03:35) the road look like two contrasting colors? Are these two types of materials? Thanks and greetings
Looking forward to your videos from Florida, around Fort Myers in particular. We have *no* freeway system unfortunately but there's been a lot of improvement on I-75.
Alright! I've been awake all night, editing a video for one of my other channels, and the payoff for the sleepless night is that I get to watch a brand new FWJ video moments after it posts! My lucky day. 😀 R.I.P. Greg, you are sorely missed.
Thanks for this video Jim. Great song choices too. Saw Hugh Howell/Tucker exit. My aunt and uncle live right off Hugh Howell( I think I told you that before). Thanks for the memories. Is that original Pancake House still there as well? That is one of my fav places
It's very exciting that one of my favorite youtubers is visiting my hometown! Hope you like it down here! The FDOT and Florida's Turnpike Enterprise have been busy upgrading and widening our freeways, so it will look much nicer than the 90's
Freewayjim oh god i didn't expect that, so sad. At the beggining I thought that it was like a monument or something related with the mountain that marks at the freeway. I love your videos by the way, you will shoot Maine sometime?
Thank you, I don't know when I'll be in Maine next, it's not someplace I really have a reason to go and there isn't much that draws me there me as far as shooting videos goes, sorry.
Interstate 40 between Durham and Raleigh is a great drive (when it's not rush hour), and would probably make a great video. When you're in North Carolina next maybe?
Bittersweet video. The Allman's were so much a part of the soundtrack of my teen and college years and more importantly so much of a part of Americana in the '70's. I think Southerners would be surprised to know how popular southern rock was on Long Island back then. People then wore the uniform long hair, bandanna, Confederate flag decals etc. Don't fret it was pretty much just a music fan thing back then. Who fans wore Britsh Flag stuff. Looking forward to the Florida trip. When my grandparents were alive back in the 70's and 80's I spent a lot of vacations in the Gold Coast area. Looking forward to seeing what if anything has changed.
6:27 - I did a double take because I thought the passenger in the car passing you on the left flipped you off.... turns out it's an index finger so I guess they were just saying "FreewayJim is #1!" Haha!
Yeah no offense to that Andrew guy, but good golly, was the originality in his stuff next to NONEXISTENT at best; literally copying your playlist (whoop Dee Doo, but...) AND trying to mimic your editing style for much, if not all of his vids! But MAJOR props to him for covering LOTS of the state of Ohio, along with multiple Kentucky Parkways; quelling my curiosity and kept me coming back occasionally (but why was it that his vids got "blurrier" the newer they got..? That made absolutely NO sense)...
They love to revolt new highways here which are desperately needed because of growth.. Like the proposed "outer perimeter" which was supposed to start construction over 20 years ago (along GA 20).. I wish they would have built it. I could drive from here in Canton to Gwinnett country in like 20 minutes. Id be more than happy to pay the tolls.
I remember at 1st it was proposed as "The Northern Arc", or GA 500, in the mid 90s stretching from around Cartersville on the 75 side to somewhere around Lawrenceville/316 on the 85 side. Then later in the 90s, an entire outer perimeter was proposed. Either way, it would have been completed by now. www.reddit.com/r/Atlanta/comments/7woksj/til_there_was_a_proposed_outer_perimeter_state/
I imagine if you could put up a static picture of rural I-75 or I-95 for ten minutes, and it wouldn't be far off of what you actually see. I'm sure you'll be happy to turn on your TV for once and not be bombarded with nasty political commercials (I'm not going to ask you what you think about the contest since a. it's none of my business, b. I don't care, and c. from what I can tell, it looks like you don't live in that part of Atlanta anyway).

Excellent video Jim. Joyriding in Atlanta on a Sunday is always a pleasure.
Thank you, it really is sometimes, and this was one of those times.
Great music,the Allman Bros were awesome.love going down the mountain on 78 after seeing the Athens sign telling me I'm headed home
Thank you!
Love how you played with your filming and music here. You really set the mood for your videos. Excellent.
Thank you!

Love the Allman Bros. selection! RIP Gregg.
Thanks and agreed.

There may be more of that coming in Atlanta too.
Thanks for your Videos. Greetings from Germany
Thank you for watching!
I can't wait for your new videos . I was thinking in March of 2017 that Jim will Go to Florida and I was right .

I'd say Alligator Alley is worth filming...
It's extremely boring, although I may film a few miles of the eastern edge of it just to give people a taste, but I'm not filming all of it.
Awesome video, I thought you were going to turn off to (Stone Mountain) , LOL. beautiful drive...
Ahh Atlanta, asphalt jungle in the pines. Haha, I love it though. Also great selection of music, perhaps you could fit Allman Bros. -Jessica in some video in the future? Great work!
Thanks, yeah that song would work, it's possible.
Hey Freewayjim. Love all of your videos. Especially since I was born and raised in ATL myself! Im here in NOLA now. How about doing more videos here!!?!
Thank you, I've filmed in NO twice (2010, 2015), don't really have a reason to go down there in the foreseeable future.
Great video as always. Looking forward to the US-1 video in the Keys. Have you ever considered doing a video on I-70 through southeastern Utah? It's extremely desolate but the landscape is one-of-a-kind and gorgeous

Great video as always! Love the Allman tribute it's a shame we lost two legends of the same band within just a few months
Thanks and agreed on that.
Going through Atlanta's Freeway was amazing! Bet you had to get to work by going through it every day? And I can't wait to see you go down Florida's highway there's alot great sites down in Florida.
My commute was 3.5 miles so no, I did not have to deal with it thankfully.
I don't know why I love even the coastal, more tropical (palmetto-filled) states like Florida and South Carolina so much, but I cannot tell you how excited I am for this season (all of the seasons have been very exciting to me, however).

Thank you very much, I doubt I'll be filming much rural interstate other than US-1 to the Keys but I appreciate the encouragement.
A very nice tribute to Gregg Allman! Loved it!!
Thank you very much!
Hey free way Jim yesterday on sat I was in Atlanta going to Calhoun greetings
Looks ride you are ready for your Florida road trip. Nice ride and good soundtrack.
Thank you, looking forward to getting on the road.
I would love to see you either do an update on Birmingham or Memphis, or even do some filming around Jackson, MS.
Nice tribute, Jim. Thanks. Have a safe visit to Florida.
Thank you very much!

Thank you
Thanks a lot for the trip in Atlanta Area. Why sometimes (eg 03:35) the road look like two contrasting colors? Are these two types of materials? Thanks and greetings
Thanks, the road was in the process of being repaved, it's all black top now.
Thanks
Nice ride! Just a suggestion, you should do more long videos like you did with the Grand Junction to Denver I-70 and the I-10 in West Texas videos.
Thanks, I need proper content to film for a video like that, I don't film for the sake of it. Those videos are a lot of work too.
The Lake City / Gainesville / Ocala area is good for that (with a slowdown for Paynes Prairie).
I wouldn't film that to begin with, it's not interesting.
Freewayjim Fair, it is an oddity for the locals only I guess.
nice video Jim, thanks for it.
Thanks for watching Bubba.
Looking forward to your videos from Florida, around Fort Myers in particular. We have *no* freeway system unfortunately but there's been a lot of improvement on I-75.
Thanks, I won't be filming around Fort Myers, just passing by on I-75.
Ah. I mistook the markings on the map. Looks like they're Google's traffic warnings.
Impressive interchange complex starting at about 4:40. Is that a four-level stack? It's hard to tell from the video.
Wikipedia claims it's 5 levels with the ramp on the far left, check it out on Google Street View. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Moreland_Interchange
Freewayjim why did Atlanta name it Spaghetti Junction
Miami!! I'm so excited, have a great and safe trip! :)
Thank you!
Alright! I've been awake all night, editing a video for one of my other channels, and the payoff for the sleepless night is that I get to watch a brand new FWJ video moments after it posts! My lucky day. 😀 R.I.P. Greg, you are sorely missed.
LOL, great timing! thanks for watching.
You finally got somewhere to go for 2017! Florida cursing! Enjoy the heat and stay cool!
Thank you!
Thanks for this video Jim. Great song choices too. Saw Hugh Howell/Tucker exit. My aunt and uncle live right off Hugh Howell( I think I told you that before). Thanks for the memories. Is that original Pancake House still there as well? That is one of my fav places
yes! you're finally headed down south to miami! can't wait for the new videos!
Thanks, I have not been there since 1990 and my son never has so we are looking forward to it.
It's very exciting that one of my favorite youtubers is visiting my hometown! Hope you like it down here! The FDOT and Florida's Turnpike Enterprise have been busy upgrading and widening our freeways, so it will look much nicer than the 90's
I've never seen so little traffic on an Atlanta freeway
Free at last, Free at last!Thank Good Almighty Georgia 400 is toll-free at last! WHOOOOOOOO!!!!
they moved that hustle over to I-85 North and 75 South
ATL-BKH is the next US metroplex. NW Atlanta is just exploding! They've built so many new buildings since I lived there in 2013
Do you know what it means that cross at the 07:40 minute?
I think it means somebody died in an accident there and their friends/family put the cross there as a rememberance.
Freewayjim oh god i didn't expect that, so sad. At the beggining I thought that it was like a monument or something related with the mountain that marks at the freeway.
I love your videos by the way, you will shoot Maine sometime?
Thank you, I don't know when I'll be in Maine next, it's not someplace I really have a reason to go and there isn't much that draws me there me as far as shooting videos goes, sorry.
are you ever gonna do a video on i-20 east into atlanta ?
I think Have before, it's not very interesting.
Looking forward to more!
A lot of the video reminds me of the North side suburbs of Houston.
Interstate 40 between Durham and Raleigh is a great drive (when it's not rush hour), and would probably make a great video. When you're in North Carolina next maybe?
Eh, driven it a few times, it did not jump out at me.
Nice video and music! How do you not get hit with ContentID on these?
Thanks...I do, the copyright owners monetize it, it's cool.
Bittersweet video. The Allman's were so much a part of the soundtrack of my teen and college years and more importantly so much of a part of Americana in the '70's.

Thanks, I have not been to South Florida since 1990 and in studying for the trip, it looks like a lot has changed.
It's me. I'm the one doing 10 mph under the limit. I'm terrified of driving that far off the ground. 🤣
I remember when you had to use Sidney Marcus Blvd (EXIT 1B) to access I-85 North
that is so cool i live off exit 8 hugh howell rd off of us 78 in atl
At the end of this video I saw a Hardee's. I don't know why they aren't any in northern Virginia. There used to be one in Merrifield.
Awesome Road Trip
Thanks
85 north, the stretch where the left three plus the HOV lanes are asphalt and the right two are concrete. When did GDOT turn into MoDOT in reverse?
Parts of 85 that were closed after the collapse were resurfaced in advance, to avoid future lane closures. Same goes for southbound.
It's called re-paving in progress, and the right lanes are not concrete, just worn asphalt, it's all black top now.
What's the scariest bridge you have crossed?
was hoping to see the rebuilt bridge but maybe I just missed it during a "jump to light speed" effect
It's in Video #17-03.
6:27 - I did a double take because I thought the passenger in the car passing you on the left flipped you off.... turns out it's an index finger so I guess they were just saying "FreewayJim is #1!" Haha!
Hi fellow Atlantan
Hello
Which video with song sweet sweet rain? : l
15-40, First song. th-cam.com/video/BxBnRdycDr0/w-d-xo.html
where you related to freeway Andrew? and if so what happened to him ?
No I am not and I have no idea.
Yeah no offense to that Andrew guy, but good golly, was the originality in his stuff next to NONEXISTENT at best; literally copying your playlist (whoop Dee Doo, but...) AND trying to mimic your editing style for much, if not all of his vids!
But MAJOR props to him for covering LOTS of the state of Ohio, along with multiple Kentucky Parkways; quelling my curiosity and kept me coming back occasionally (but why was it that his vids got "blurrier" the newer they got..? That made absolutely NO sense)...
Schwenda I know man I just want to know what happened to him he was good and him and freewayjim could did a collaboration
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery or so I have heard
My advice, check out Live at A&R Studios.
They love to revolt new highways here which are desperately needed because of growth.. Like the proposed "outer perimeter" which was supposed to start construction over 20 years ago (along GA 20).. I wish they would have built it. I could drive from here in Canton to Gwinnett country in like 20 minutes. Id be more than happy to pay the tolls.
I agree with you on that, I live near 20 in Gwinnet, it would be so nice to have the ability to get the I-75 Corridor in a timely manner.
I remember at 1st it was proposed as "The Northern Arc", or GA 500, in the mid 90s stretching from around Cartersville on the 75 side to somewhere around Lawrenceville/316 on the 85 side. Then later in the 90s, an entire outer perimeter was proposed. Either way, it would have been completed by now.

nice tribute to ABB
Thank you
Robin Williams and hold on youtube channel to do you take the Walt Disney world
Not going there.
I imagine if you could put up a static picture of rural I-75 or I-95 for ten minutes, and it wouldn't be far off of what you actually see.
I'm sure you'll be happy to turn on your TV for once and not be bombarded with nasty political commercials (I'm not going to ask you what you think about the contest since a. it's none of my business, b. I don't care, and c. from what I can tell, it looks like you don't live in that part of Atlanta anyway).
You are correct on I-75 and I-95, and I don't live in that district.
I live in Atlanta and its incredibly boring. Rather be in Miami.
