That’s pretty hilarious. Good job. Long live the Trader!
I agree with you. Cruiselines suck, but the wife loves it so I try my best to enjoy it.
A very interesting cemetery. My husband has relatives in that area, and I have visited them, but I do not remember it being a hilly area like at the cemetery. I have seen Jewish graves but not so many mixed in a regular cemetery like that. I hope someone gives you an answer about the Yiddish. Have you been to Andersonville in Georgia? I am sure you know the history of how it started out as a Civil War POW camp with a terrible history. Now it is a national cemetery. My husband's 2 uncles are buried there.
I remember when we took Adam there a few years ago.
It is also the largest cemetery in North America. My Grandpa is buried there.
That cemetery looked really well preserved and taken care of. The narrow roads were odd to see. And the Hebrew was also very interesting, makes me wonder if there’s been a large Jewish presence in Macon, and if so, for how long. Fascinating
I thought it would be hard to top your Skynyrd video but this one definitely does.. Thanks for reminding me to take a deep breath and enjoy all the history it has to offer and not just the subject matter… I’ll be in Florida during the week of Halloween 🎃 if you’re available.. and if not hit me up in Cleveland :)
High praise considering the source brother!
Ps- let me know when you're here
@@SplorinRyan Will Do Will Do..
Really nice cemetery! The narrow roads are interesting, lol!
Dude, I was legit scared to death trying to make the turn!
@@SplorinRyan 😂
Cool place...I'm glad to see they protect their graveside from possible souvenir seekers. Not quite as cool as Clevelands cemetary, but cool none the less.
Lake View is in a league of it's own ;)
@@SplorinRyan it's amazing.
Thanks for the support of our beautiful lil NC mtn town! (“Joist’s” are horizontal, that’s a vertical support btw)
Moved down here with my family as a little kid in '67. The Colonial Mall had already hit it's "heyday" and was going strong. I also remember the "Lil' 500" go-kart place (still there today!) on 17-92 South of Winter Park. Disney had just opened their Preview Center on Buena Vista Dr. That gigantic table-top model was an incredibly exciting thing for 5 year old me to see. And Hwy 50 West of 435 (Kirkman rd.) was still a tiny little two-lane road that you could safely cross even during the afternoon. Mr. Barnett was in the middle of his multi-phase expansion in West Orange county (that eventually became Pine Hills and the surrounding areas) -but everything just outside of his developments was still scrub-pine, cattle-fields and orange groves.
Ruby Falls and that whole area is one of my favorite places, and somehow you made it even more enjoyable 😂
Never would have thought they'd sell that property. Its a big part of River's history.
I am a bit surprised as well
Annual passes probably for local fisherman.
That was certainly make sense
Nice beach areas. Never been north of palm coast on east coast.
If you are looking Allen Collins grave. For next time. Look for the Jesus on cross statue go either 2 or 3 rows south walk east there will be a tree with a Collins bench there. Turn 180 degrees from the bench. In the area you will find Allen Collins and his wife. Steve Gaines and Cassie and family are at Jacksonville Memory Gardens. Ronnie's original tumb is also there.
Yea Jax, Neptune, and Atlantic are my old stomping grounds. Living at the beach we all just go everywhere. It’s so funny seeing a video of my area. Haha
Nothing like the random Mardi Gras-ish sparkly mask staring at you from a window 😂
Sounds good to me.
Find the "secret beach". Between Fernandina Beach and Huguenot Park. You park find the trail then climb down a rope.
They look like nice places to go. I liked Clearwater and Treasure Island.
Ants, ants everywhere!! Thank you for saving us from the vicious creatures
Good morning, beautiful!
😅
Yeah, that's pretty pathetic that they charge just to walk out onto the pier.
HEY SPLORIN RYAN...YOUR VLOGS ARE LIKE a mini-vacation. Jacksonville Beach looks like a jem to visit. Isn't Fred Durst from there(lol)? Appreciate your honesty about the places you vlog about .
Great video Unc Ryan 👍🏻 very informative and witty. I was actually laughing out loud at your comments. It was really surprising to see the charge for the walking on the beach and pier. I guess that goes to cleaning up the beach? Anyways- thank you for letting us know that it’s a town for empty nesters😂 - great narrative and I’m looking forward to seeing more 😊. Oh yeah- aww- poor Ohio folk being mocked for the cold 🥶 😂😂
I live in jax and I go to st Augustine beach or Daytona beach is only 80 miles away.
Another awesome video man! Can’t believe how dead it was there, beaches looked nice, but empty. Hate hearing that about the homeless population….really looking forward to Part 2
It's kind of hard to see with the lighting in the shadows, but in the background as I'm walking around, you could actually see some of the people passed out laying on the sidewalks
@@SplorinRyan that’s so sad!
Cleveland Rocks.....WMMS the buzzard!
Thaaaaaa buzzzzeeerrrrrd....
Great job, as always!
(humble bow)
Dude! You are in my hood!
Literally grew up 300 feet from where you start the video. 2 blocks behind the Dairy Queen you should have passed on A1A. I’m sorry you didn’t have the best time but next time I will show you around the town. There is actually a ton of great history and things to do. That’s why I never moved. Haha
Seriously? I don't know why but I was thinking that you were on the other side of town!
I’ve actually never been to Jacksonville Beach, the nearest Jacksonville beach I went to was Ponte Vedra. Not a Parrothead Ryan, no worries Welcome to the Hotel California you can checkout anytime you like, but you can never leave. Thanks for the honest review
The man who invented Cleveland.
I think another thing that killed the malls was the huge number of traffic lights. In the early '90s I could get from UCF to Fashion Square in 10 minutes. In 2010 or so, it was more like 30-45 minutes. 50 (aka Colonial Drive) is a "stroad" now, which is a nightmare to drive.
That is absolutely true!
Man, Ronnie's sucked balls. They did help kill the mall with their mediocre food and "take it or leave it" snide service.
I just left this town and I am pleased to say I had a lovely time
I'm glad to hear that- I certainly enjoy it!
HEY SPLORIN RYAN..."IT WAS THE WORST ACCIDENT I EVER SEEN". Did you know she was buried there or just chanced upon Alice Nunn? Either way, this vlog was great!Thanks my brother. Now I want t o watch Pee Wee.
Kind of both.. the cemetery was on my list to go to, but earlier that day I stumbled onto the fact that she was buried there. There was actually one other cemetery in Jacksonville that I really wanted to get to but I ran out of time.. unfortunately, during the summer, Florida tends to have storms blow in every afternoon and I spent so much time in the Riverside cemetery that there wasn't time to see the third one
I really use these to be helpful .. I will not be watching this guy again.. he is really a sarcastic complainer .. I get it’s not like Royal Caribbean .. with that being said it’s 1/3rd the price .. so not sure what he was expecting .. as a white man I can say I thought his racist insinuation of Black people smoking Newports was pretty offensive. I can tell that this guy is straight up Trump supporter because he’s kind of racist. I’m sure that somebody out there will find this helpful that is more on his level of thinking I am not and I wish him all the best and have a great day/life.
I appreciate your opinion! I'm actually not a trump person. I'm very very much not a trump voter. EVER. I also didn't make up the piece about the Newports. That was what was actually going on. For what it's worth, I don't make these videos in order to polish up the subject matter but rather to show things as I find them and let others make up their own mind whether they agree with me or not. Some people do, some people don't, and that's perfectly fine! In this case, not only was the cruise itself very rough in terms of the environment, but 24 hours later, the ship burst into flames (you may have seen it on the news). Perhaps I just caught them on a very very bad week. Candidly, it's just not the cruise for me. I'm not looking for something where there is constant partying and an expectation that you will have a drink in your hand 24 hours a day, and that was the general environment of this Cruise on the first day of sailing. And that's fine! For a lot of people, that is exactly what they are looking for and I'm not judging them as better or worse than anyone else. I am simply saying that for me, it came as a bit of a shock just how over the top some of these elements were. When I go on a cruise, I am looking to relax, looking to try new things, see new places, and make pleasant memories with my family. Again though, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and to leave your thoughts. For what it's worth, I understand why you would think that the newports thing was racist. Honestly, I thought the very idea behind them being pushed was questionable.
Cool 😎
She frightened the crap outta me as a kid on Pee Wees Big Adventure! Great video Splorn!
It's funny, things have gotten so much further over the last nearly 40 years that my kids see it in a wonder why it was such a big deal LOL
Infinite Mushroom
In Mississippi, the Shiloh cemetery is almost wholly a Union cemetery. I visited there for years till I noticed that! Shiloh is a park and is very nice and upkept!! If you ever have opportunity to visit, you won’t be disappointed! You’ll also be very close to the dam on the Tennessee Valley river!!
Adding it to my list right now, thank you so much!
Liking your cemetery videos!
Glad you like them!
Liking your cemetery videos!
There is a B&B in New Orleans that has the corn stalk fence. But, I don’t know what the significance of corn is!!
It's funny, after I made that comment, I'm noticing them pop up more and more!
I appreciate the video, does seem like you didn't have fun. Maybe a Viking or Norwegian cruise with the 80 year old's might be a better for you.
While I understand that you are cracking wise about the 80 year old, you're on point with what you said- difference strokes for different folks!
Nice way to end the video.
Goodness Just looked up large marge’s scene…. I imagine to a child she would have been … Terrifying-- Wasn’t expecting the extreme scale of the truck, the intensity of her dialogue regarding that fateful night or her cartoon transformation. Completely caught me off guard. 👏‼️😂🕵🏼♂️
I love cemeteries, the history behind them is always fascinating! Great video as always my dude!!
Greetings from Westlake Drawn to cemeteries Love wrought iron --worn statues -- historical side notes Not a fan of pee wee so I have no idea who -large marge-was or how her contribution impacted your childhood However-your touching tribute to her was loud and clear Your content is often laced with heartfelt messages which could easily be overlooked by the untrained ear. I will look up large marge 🕵🏼♂️ Thank you Ryan --
