71+ year old former Iowan here. Did some of my growing up in a small town near Marshalltown Iowa. It was a treat to go to Taylor’s Maid-Rite cafe. Maid-Rite started by Fred Angell in 1926 in Muscatine Iowa. He began franchising them in 1927. There are a lot of copies, but Maid-Rite is very protective of their brand name and will sue anyone using the name without paying for the right. The only exceptions are non-profit organizations like schools or churches who would say they were serving “maid-rites” for special events, etc. They didn’t seem to pay any attention to those. The last time I ate at Taylor’s in Marshalltown a few years ago I believe they had ketchup available on the counter. A part of any good business is recognizing what their customers want. Another favorite place was Henry’s where the hamburgers were 15 cents. That was in the mid 1960’s.

Back in the day when school lunches were school lunches, we had Sloppy Joes. It’s ironic having FDR’s picture hanging on the wall when it was his economic policies that made the depression worse.

Am i the only one who calls this a "maidrite"? 🥸

Joes IS the best in America! Delicious.

I work for Atlantic Bottling Coca-Cola Company out of Atlantic,IA I live in Sheldon,IA. I work out of the Spirit Lake branch I can get tickets to the park all summer long.

No way Q39 is the best!

We have the original Maid Rite/Right here in Quincy Illinois they are equally renowned for their pies❤

We enjoy having lunch at the Asylum restaurant on the patio. Yes, it definitely is haunted.

Iowa is a racist state😂. I rather eat somewhere else😂

You talk a lot before you say anything.

The depth of that shaft is intimidating. Screw being a copper miner.

No, not ketchup 😮nothing masks the flavor of meat more nefariously than ketchup

From NW of there and will have to stop sometime! I love places like that!

This place is phenomenal. I have family members that get a bag of burgers to take with them to last for a couple of days worth of lunches at the factory/farm. I believe there's a map (at least used to be?) where visitors could put in a pin to show where they're from. Or maybe it was some kind of sign-in book? You could see that people from all over the world have visited there.

Radar from MASH is all I can think of. Also the sandwiches look amazing.

The minute you showed the interior I knew the sitcom was Roseanne. Cool little place.

Chase field has a higher upper deck

Hey Erik, Did you know the American Gothic House is in Eldon, Iowa?

This Park gave me nightmares(my biggest fear is roller coasters)

You should’ve bought that guy his own pie

🤡👉👀

In Oatman every year in January there's the bed races it's a fun event to attend. I went a few times and had a blast. Try going sometime

I don't think I've ever had a canteen without Sterzing's chips.

Very funny

Every real native will know its called the log ride 27:12

Oh my God, can I please spend Christmas at that house? These people are the most adorable sounds like a lot of fun to me.

I know how this is rainelle had this kind of storm in 2012 i dont want to live through another one we didnt have power for a week or two too hot after the storm 😊

This is too cute & funny! 😂❤

Nice video. I always enjoy watching these and hearing what others think of these hikes. I've done Camelback multiple times, both trails. Echo Canyon is the harder route but Cholla is not exactly easy and I've seen plenty of people turn back at the landing pad where it becomes scrambly and very difficult if you have a hard time rock climbing. There is a guy with one leg who does Echo Canyon pretty much every day the trail is open. He does it faster than anyone else. He is my inspiration. One piece of advice I have for anyone attempting this is WEAR GLOVES. I always wear gloves when hiking and I can't tell you how many times I've had people see my gloves and tell me that they wish they had gloves because on this hike you have your hands on a lot of rocks, the rocks are rough and most people (unless their hands are rough) get sore hands. Be in shape. If you are visiting from out of town and are not a hiker and are not in good shape then don't even try this, do yourself a favor and drive out to Pinnacle Peak or Tom's Thumb (both in Scottsdale) and do those, they are both beautiful hikes and much easier. Unless you are acclimated to the heat don't do this in the heat. You are risking your safety and the safety of the first responders who might have to come rescue you. Piestewa Peak is a fun hike with rewarding views, it's easier than Camelback but still, if you are not in any kind of shape, it's going to be extremely difficult to complete. If you are huffing and puffing in the first 10 minutes (the easy part of it) then you probably are not going to make it to the top because the last 1/3 of it is very difficult and you'll be totally beat by the time you get to the hardest part. Bring water. Even if it's 70 degrees and you think it's nice and cool out, bring water.

the grandpa kind of jumped in there was hilarious.

Love it!

Atta boy

I wonder if people know that this park and trail was built by child slave labor. I personally swung a pick on this park in 1985

Stayed here on my 40th bday... the original operating room was the room we stayed in...the qst thing for me was i smelled antiseptic just like the host did, crazy! Which validates it for me

I don't think the city is taking care of anything. Except mowing the lawn. What aren't the headstones being reassemble?

Try took out the mirror maze!?!?!?!? Last time I went with my kids, it was there. I went to that park a few times as a kid and that was so much fun! That's sad! Also as an adult the tipsy house sucks! Lol. I remember the Arnold's park from the early 90s! I went on that old ferris wheel! Those were the good days!

I didn't know I was so old that I'd know this was Radar O'Reilly's hometown.

I believe the ‘93 flood levels are still marked at the ball diamonds on the north side of town Also I played at the amphitheater in sunny side, we always called it the eggshell but we were also bummed cause we never saw shows there so we decided to play our own.

" No Pun" but would be better than a lot of Crap on TV.. I'd watch it.

Holy shit, Atlantic is my hometown what a deal😂

Th they tore down Bobby's this week

Your hike reminds me of Bolivia and NM. Awesome!

I live there and I have to be honest, I don't understand why anyone cares about the Canteen. You stand in a very small crowded room waiting for a disappointing wet sandwich that's guaranteed to make an enormous mess. And no, it doesn't even taste very good. It's what you'd imagine food from the world's laziest food truck to be like. Just wet meat thrown across the bread by a pissed off middle aged man and poorly wrapped. It's probably the least satisfying food in the entire city, if I'm being honest. i wouldn't spend a single dollar of my money there, anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

I live and work in Ottumwa. I have walked past that Piano a few dozen times and had NO idea it worked. lol

Some folks cover mirrors because they don't want the dead person's soul to be trapped in the mirror. Some do it so after a person dies demons can't come out of the mirror to take souls -- or so you don't loose your soul in the mirror. The thing about the food that was left after the killer left -- some folks leave a food offering TO THE DEAD... Maybe that's why the killer or killers left some food behind. Some folks think a killer (s) were in the attic because cig butts were found up there -- Could the person or person's have hidden in the basement? Maybe even in the barn - folks didn't lock their doors much back then.

If you're into haunted places -- I know of some here in Maryland. A place in town that's now a thrift store, the pub in town from the late 1700's, the over 400 ye old building by the dam & the Concord Point Lighthouse & Keeper's house across the street from it & anther lighthouse. On line they won't mention that the Concord Lighthouse ect is haunted that would be bad for tourists but when the Keeper's house is opened ask to see the notebook they keep about hauntings going on there. At that Keeper's house the lady behind the counter showed me the police report of a man who'd been shot and killed by the back door before the place was fixed up. I brought her to where the pictures of past light keepers hung ...there was a lightkeeper and the dead man could have been twins. I thought it was cool but the lady turned pale. The dock area behind the lighthouse is haunted as well but by very helpful sprites - well they were to me It's the only time seeing with my own eyes intead of having to use a camnra. Maybe they showed up because of the very bad storm that came up so quickly. Black ghosts with human type bodies were in the water in front of me as I stood on the dock & they kept pointing -- it wasn't till later that I realized they were pointing in the direction of where I lived. I didn't want to leace -- even though the dock moved under my feet, the wind was blowing ever harder, the sky was getting darker & darker -- Then a sprite climbed the ladder and leaned against it -- was like-- "You need to leave ...NOW..." type look. I don't have a car so I walked quikly home as the wind was really blowing & at 2 in the afternoon looked like it was 10 pm -- Just got in the door- turned the light on -- the light went right out! The power was out!!! Stupid me I should have taken the stairs -- instead of the elevator -- DUH... I really think the sprites made sure I got home safely. I still say "thank you" out loud when I'm on that dock.

At: 20:55/44:26 Pause and slightly turn sidewise so you can see the wall upside down-- you see alot more creepy images. (Sad that this place was recently torn down - I'm seeing this in December of 2024. Will go back to the video.)
