Oh yes, my grandma used to say vittles all the time. It’s southern slang for the word “victuals” which basically just means food and groceries. I miss Ghost Town in the Sky.
Jacob, I'm right there with you on appreciating things while you have them . I'd say a good 75 percent of my favorite childhood places, places that feature in my core memories are either gone entirely or changed almost beyond recognition.😢 Nothing to do but keep on keeping on and make new memories 😊 Also, I think the only time I heard vittles being used was on the Beverly Hillbillies.😂
Tender vittles cat food from the 70's. Lawyers have ruined everything that was cool from my childhood. They are responsible for suing everyone with a business just to line their pockets with money. Thanks Jacob for trying to bring what's left of yesteryear treasures to the next generation! Cheers!
@@TNitroH you are absolutely right, and I wish I had thought of it.
Tender Vittles the cat food too...
Dr. says, "weigh yourself every day" cause he owns the scale and he wants your penny! 😆 🤣 thanks CB, keep having fun! ❤️
Enjoy these roadside types of videos.
Oh wow, I highly enjoyed this! Maggie Vally is one of my favorite places, it’s so pretty. Here and Cherokee is where I gained my appreciation for old timey souvenir shops. Maggie Mountaineer Crafts souvenir shop has a real nice back porch overlooking the (I think, been a long while) Little Pigeon River. Good memories. 😊 Thanks!
I hope these classic roadside attractions continue to be preserved I truly appreciate them thank you Jacob for you vids I love the ol classics !!
My wife and I were just in Ashville, what in the world has happened to that amazing city? We had several locals and a police officer warn us about
violent street crime! In all my visits to Ashville, I've never been warned for my safety before.
Hi from Asheville. Just the usual--corrupt city leadership prioritizing tourism over infrastructure and safety, embezzlement, the majority of our knuckle dragging police force quitting over getting "jabbed" for covid, and the ones that stayed ganging up and beating a black jaywalker within an inch of his life for being black and getting "suspended pending investigation". Also, epidemic levels of homelessness and heroin use, which the city goes on ignoring.
Unsustainable cost of living, and no jobs to be had that pay a living wage.
Great place, can't wait to move.
Democrat city...
@@sailbroker6244 With all due respect, I'm afraid you don't know what you're talking about, but thank you for your insightful input.
@@sailbroker6244 Terribly inaccurate given that the extreme right are the ones with their finger on triggers and storming the Capitol etc. Look at the senseless shootings lately- youth mistaking cars in parking lots for theirs and getting shot, kids picking up friends and knocking on the wrong door and getting shot, etc. Dems aren’t behind this. Trump extremists are all about shooting first and not stopping to ask questions with an unfortunately large dose of vulgarity along the way. Ohio is full of it sadly.
It's gone way woke. :(
Enjoy the videos. Especially the ones in this area. Growing up, my family vacationed in Gatlinburg every Summer. In Cherokee, across from the Frontier Motel that was featured in this video, there’s a shopping center that now has a pawn shop. Where the pawn shop is, there was a restaurant called Dell’s, that my Mom used to love to eat lunch at after leaving Gatlinburg.
Jacob, just a heads up. The Haunted Mansion ride at Knoebels, in Pennsylvania is celebrating 50 year anniversary. They will be having special food, tickets, and other things. I hope you will be able to make it out there. My favorite also.
Really enjoying this video. I still remember when you walked pretty much straight up to see ghost town. So many cool things in that area can't wait to see it myself some day. So grateful people like you take us along to experience it. People like you, Adam, Jen are especially good as you have a down to earth honest perspective of things. Keep it up loving what you do
I love old Neon Motel Signs. I have taken many a photo of them. I look for them when I go on trips.
There should be a museum in Florida for neon signs.
This feels like classic Carpetbagger. I loved the classic vlogs!
Thanks for doing this one more than anything. I have friends who live in Cherokee. I haven't been in 5 years since moving to FL. This made me homesick for the mountains. It's good to see the old theme park by the Mill is finally being used!! You should have stopped by Paul's diner for lunch. It's my favorite.
Thank you, good sir for your insightful tour of the Mountains of North Carolina.! I moved here in 2021 from another state, and I found your knowledge quite uplifting. You are very much appreciated.
Hope you enjoy north carolina. Its not much but its home.
The story/history of green triceratops: Uncle Beazley is a life-size fiberglass statue of a Triceratops by Louis Paul Jonas. It was located near Lemur Island in the National Zoological Park (the National Zoo) in Northwest Washington, D.C.
So cool to see you pass through Murphy. I actually only live about 30 minutes from there in GA. Funnily enough, the band I'm in is actually gonna be headed to Murphy this Friday to play a show for Cinco de Mayo.
Happy Star Wars day, Jacob. May the fourth be with you❗
Love Maggie Valley such beautiful scenery but I always remember watching The Beverley Hillbillies and that’s where I first heard vittles lol 😊❤️
Love how you appreciate the little things, and sharing the old buildings, I think I see a little sparkle in your eyes this time, so hoping things are going better for you 😊
I see it too, that sparkle...I have watched some of Jacob's older vlogs. That sparkle is definitely not there, and it seems like an entirely different Jacob existed back then. Now we see someone who has perfected his craft, and whose path is getting straighter.
Jacob, good on you!
This video made me feel like it was 2015 again, i loved it ❤ i expected the old intro you placing things in a suit case. the end made me cry
Enjoyed your video! My friend shared it with me who I recently sold a home to in Maggie Valley to. I LOVE the quaintness of Maggie Valley and Waynesville area. I'm a part-timer at this time between SWFL and NC but we plan on making NC our full-time residence in the future. Thanks for sharing your videos!
Love how the bear statues tell a story, one I actually remember hearing as a kid. wish there was more of that storytelling around the country through sculptures
I think this story actually came from Norway 🇳🇴
Thank u for this video. This is where my family took us on vacation. I've been longing to visit there but don't have the funds to do so. This brought back fond memories! I love the Smokey Mts!
The classic exploring abandoned places vibes....in this ....are INCREDIBLE!!! Carpet B ...OG Vibez are astounding 🤯🤯🤯
One of the best videos you’ve done. Very heartfelt
Love when you visit Maggie Valley, such a beautiful area! My brother has always said boiled peanuts look like lil hams!! 😂
Thanks for the video...I would guess almost all of us watching haven't been to these parts and appreciate getting to see them vicariously! Glad you enjoyed your "vittles!"
Thanks Jacob, I love it when you're in the smoky mountains! Maybe another Gatlinburg video? Pretty please?!
I stayed at the Travel Lodge next door to the Stompin’ Ground last fall. Place looked deserted. In fact, the whole town looked deserted. It apparently was the off season.
Here in Eastern North Carolina. We say vittles alot. To us it means getting some to eat or food. It is a southern term.
Love the driving around and exploring video!
You have inspired me to start roadtripping and driving around my state
Absolutely LOVED this video!!❤❤❤ and the bbq wagon is owned by my dear friend. I've lived in Bryson for about 3 years now, since I married a Bryson City man❤ thanks for sharing the beautiful crosses!!
We went to Ghost Town in the Sky when I was a kid! Rode the lift up to the top. Good times ❤
Great trip of old memories from Maggie Valley, Cherokee, Smokey Mountains, to Chattanooga, TN...thanks for taking me along...
Whenever I see something about Ghost Town in the Sky I think about you going to the town hall! I was following back then. I always wondered what happened with that, but I'm not surprised to hear it ended anticlimactically. This video on the other hand was a good one! Lots of mountain fun!
I have learnt so much about America since watching this channel. Thank you Jacob you have an amazing country with a fascinating history. ❤from UK 🇬🇧
Classic Carpetbagger explorations.
I've lived in the South 50+ years. The only times I've heard the word "vittles" is on The Beverly Hillbillies. 😂
I work in Cherokee, love that you featured some of the cool places here!
really love those videos of small town usa. love it! would love to be there one day! wouldn't mind some more videos like this😉😃
Oh my gosh. awesome trip thru Maggie Valley & Cherokee. Going there in 3 weeks.Not much happening in Cherokee. We do stop and shop in Saunooke Plaza. We have friends that own a large store there. It's a shame how some of the hotels and stores closed there. They need to tear down those old dilapidated buildings. Looks like Cherokee is cleaning up their town. Really nice people there..
Great video today Jacob I love road side history. Keep traveling the long lonesome road.
We had the same situation exactly here in Texas in a town name new caney. There was going to be a theme park called earth quest adventures , with a shopping entertainment district and a neighborhood ...supposedly they had formal Disney imagineers that drew up concepts etc and the group had a town meeting too and gain so much money from the county and stole it all and scammed all. And apparently they went on a theme park spree. It's a major sad tease of wtfs. It sucks
Got pictures from that whole area, from back in 70s, during the heyday! Been in almost every place up there, including Frontier Land! 😊
I love fried peanuts in the shell they’re so good
Great video keep up the back road videos try and do abandoned videos if you can
Not a big fan of boiled peanuts. I have to try them again
You are cool 😎
Cajun boiled peanuts are my fav!! I can eat them all day every day
Good Afternoon Jacob 🙋🏽.
Grew up in Western NC. Brings back many memories. Thanks.
CARPET GOLF JUST FOR THE CARPETBAGGER.
Always take a pic wherever you go. And those boiled peanuts looked delicious. 😊
I LOVE bolied peanuts, too! I think the consistency after a few bites is like hummus but really a flavor sensation!
Apparently Jenn never watched The Beverly Hillbillies! Granny was always cooking vittles (that is, "victuals" or food).
Cute pins! Love them
Wish more places made vintage signs for their businesses.
Great video, remember the previous video when Jacob went into that abandoned boiled peanut shop. Doesn’t seem to have degraded much more.😊
I remember the Moonshiners episode where they used one of the rides on the top of the mountain to help speed up the fermentation process of their alcohol
Excellent work as always! 🎉
Usually for sodas, Diet = aspartame, zero = Splenda. I have described Cheerwine as cherry soda with cola flavoring, vs a cola with cherry flavoring in it.
I grew up in Florida but moved to Wa state 20 years ago and besides thunderstorms boiled peanuts is something I really miss. Have not had some in over 20 years now.
Every time you give a recap of Ghost Town you should insert a clip of that woman yelling “I know you! You’re The Vagabond”. 😂
Lol
I laughed so hard when you accidentally licked the icecream.😅 yuck😂
The Miss Maggie character is also known as Sunbonnet Sue in the quilting relm.
Carpetbagger, please fill in that blank area on your pin hat! It's been bothering me for awhile.😊
Hey Jacob! Love watching your videos! They are always so informative and entertaining! I have a few places in mind you and Jenn can visit next. Whenever you're back in the South, I highly recommend visiting Pensacola, FL especially the Naval Aviation Museum and Gulf Breeze Zoo. There are so many historic museums and other interesting attractions to see here! Looking forward to the next video!
OMG TY My kids are going here after school is out with their nana. I’m so excited to see a little of what they will see. Also, Zero is marketed to males and ‘diet’ is for women supposedly. ❤
Stayed in Cherokee as a child of about 14 yrs old with our family as we traveled some southern states full circle from Detroit ...makes me sad that some places are no longer there...times move too fast for sure
Such a heartfelt outro. Very cool.
I can't believe you put your tongue on that metal, CB. That may be the most terrifying thing I've ever seen on your channel. I am familiar with the word "vittles." Not "carpet golf," however. Ghost town in the Sky was actually my introduction to your channel.
That's how long I've been watching you do your thing. I was Funk Enstein then. This video reminds me of the start of your channel- you used to go to abandoned buildings and homes a lot more. I like that you are safer nowadays, but I do miss some of those episodes. Great nostalgia trip for me in this video, CB. Thanks, great stuff par excellence.
Love your videos keep sightseeing and looking for new attractions 😀
There's a band from Singapore called Carpet Golf! I thought it was just two random English words, so I got really excited when I saw it in this video.
Next year you and Jenny need to do a May 4th special maybe do a shirt with Ewok versions of you and Jenny .
Mark and Digger from Moonshiners have been using Ghostown in the Sky to age their moonshine. LOL Interesting episodes of Moonshiners for us locals.
In the 60s many TV stars appeared at Ghost Town. I heard Dan Blocker, Hoss on Bonanza, had a partnership in the Ghost Town.
it does take funds to go do things, we enjoy back mountain roads also, we have enjoyed Maggie Valley also, thanks for sharing the back roads
Love your videos!!
remote cable tv on the marquee on the warrior motel sign adds to the nostalgia
Love the opening music! Keep on truckin'❤
He’s my type legit I find him so fine tbh , he’s like a cute bear I bet he gives the best cuddles
I recently had a Cheerwine (first one!) that I found at a Cracker Barrel near Philadelphia, PA. I described the flavor as a mix of black cherry and Dr. Pepper.
Hey Jacob, on the TV series THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES Granny used to mention “vittles” all the time. Like Possum Stew! 😮
On the subject of sodas the term diet is becoming less fashionable and typically refers to sweeteners like aspartame. I’ve noticed the term zero applies to products sweetened with Splenda :)
I learned the word "Vittles" from the Beverley Hillbillies.
Welcome back to driving around here in NC again. Hope to run across you one day in Eastern NC or the Triangle area.
Hello from Gatlinburg!
Love that this video went back to the past like your older videos!
HELLO MY NAME IS LINDA TYREE, IM FROM RALEIGH NC, WAY BACK MY HUSBAND USE TO TAKE ME THERE WHEN GHOST TOWN WAS OPEN WE RODE THE CHAIR LIFT AND GOT OUR PICTURES TAKEN, AND WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND WE HAD FUN, I CANT GO ON VACTION'S ANYMORE , BACK IN NOVEMBER 4TH 2021 MY HUSBAND HAD A HEARTACK AT WORK AND PASSEDWAY AT THE AGE OF 52 YEARS OLD, IT HAS BEEN THE HARDEST THING EVER IN MY LIFE.. NOW I TAKE CARE OF MY MOTHER AND SISTER AND DO EVERYTHING IN MY HOUSE'S, I JUST WANTED TO SAY I LIKE YOUR VIDEO'S THEY ARE GREAT TO WATCH I LEARN A LOT LOOKING AT THEM.. I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!! TAKE CARE FROM LINDA TYREE..
I was just watching your Santana land video in Cherokee. Nc. I live like an hour and 20 minutes from there. Good video, man. And good video today too
Somewhere, hidden amongst thorny brambles is a little kingdom of elves and fairies. Everyone who lives here is very, very small
My mom and I have been going through Cherokee on the way to pigeon Forge for 20 something years (though we sadly haven't been in a few years due to money and medical issues) and it makes me sad to see so many of the stores and attractions that I remember growing up closed up and gone. Especially the Cherokee fun park where that restaurant is now. I have so many fun memories of that fun park and it was open the last time I went. I guess that shows how long it's been since i was last there. 😢
PS I've always loved the pink motel. I'm a huge tinkerbell fan and always said that it was her hotel when I was a kid lol
Theres a Magic Carpet Mini Golf in Reno,NV!
I'll pass on the boiled peanuts but absolutely loved the back roads.
i love maggie valley and waynesville nc
Jacob I so enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for what you do. You are so appreciated.
Not a fan of boiled peanuts, but my Grandpa use to roast them on his wood stove, which he and my grandma also cooked on. He also had an outhouse
I also heard "vittles" on hee haw and beverly hillbillies a lot when I was a kid❣
i would love to go to north carolina to visit all these sites and attractions.
but one day i will go traveling to visit these attractions.
@@viviennemorgan7217 I live in NC- hope you get to visit our beautiful state!
@@conniecrawford5231 I will.
Jacob I know you are by no means a motorcycle guy but you should go to Wheels Through Time. Its a motorcycle museum in Maggie Valley that has some motorcycles as old as 100 years and even older. Its a really cool place. Talk to Matt and tell him Alex from Rising sun Kustoms sent ya!
Everyone knows what the brown corn cobs are for. But do you know what that white one is for?……. To see if you need another brown one.😂😂😂
Lol, you’ve done it now.
