I am traveling the United States and Mexico by car because I like to visit different places. This channel is about roadside discoveries, interesting landmarks, destinations and history. I love to travel.
Exploring Lawtell, Louisiana
Lawtell is a small town situated in St. Landry Parish. The town's name is a blend of its founders' surnames: Lawler and Littell, which is a unique way of naming a place and reflects the heritage of the early settlers who founded it. Geographically, Lawtell encompasses approximately 4 square miles, all of which is land, and is traversed by U.S. Route 190.
Lawtell was once an important stop on the Southern Chitlin' Circuit, a series of venues that catered to African American musicians during segregation, making it a key location in the development of zydeco, blues, and R&B music, and was a midpoint between New Orleans and Houston. In 1947, Richard's Club opened its doors in Lawtell, becoming a significant venue for zydeco music and hosting legendary artists like BB King, Clifton Chenier, and Rockin Sidney, helping to cement Lawtell’s reputation in Louisiana’s vibrant music scene. In 2012, Dustin and Nichole Miller revitalized this cultural landmark by reopening it as Miller's Zydeco Hall of Fame.
The town played a critical role in preserving Creole and zydeco music traditions, with local musicians such as Calvin Carrière and Roy Carrier influencing generations of artists and keeping the music alive in the area.
Despite its small size, Lawtell has produced a state legislator, Representative Dustin Miller, who was born and raised in the community and has played an active role in local politics and business.

I passed through there today in my semi… looked like a sad place.
Zidco music. LOL. It's zydeco. zy-de-co.
It's not ziddeco,it's zydeco
Love the at this town served as the inspiration for Radiator Springs in the Cars franchise
Been there many times…
You misspoke when saying the town was cut off by I-90. It HAS its OWN exit for goodness sakes, and it's right NEXT to Oakaton.
Can you eat them?
these are MULES!
Trade Key West for Greenland.
Why?
That’s in carpinteria CA
Lawtell is a nice looking small rural town and like most places there are a lot of empty buildings which used to be stores and abandoned houses but is nice town to explore thanks for the look at Lawtell have a great week.🇺🇲🏘️🏘️🇺🇲
Lil guy NEEDS a serious farrier visit
Quarter horses were then and are now used as cow herding
🎉You need to know the difference before doing a video. These are mules not horses..duh
Not even a horse Person but even i see cleary thats no horse
Not a horse. ! They r mules !
Went there when i was in SD. The waterslide was fun AF
so much wrong info …there is no wifi in town..there is a small market ..there is running water and power
THE lowest town in the United States
Ah..........Those are the Chevy trucks of the work herd.
Mules were in demand too.
Those animals are Mules, not Horses.
Not ever. American Crocs are longer, Nile Crocs are all aroumd bigger than both, and Pythons are strangling both to death.
Love this town... Exactly what I like moving out of the Northeast.
Thank you this is exactly exactly the kind of town that I want to move to from the East Coast. Love to know more about this town thank you for the video.
Let's be real here that's just a woke mermaid
😁
I have many fond memories of Calico Ghost Town from when I was a child on vacation with my parents.
Goodmorning
Mission Bay
There are a lot of old abandoned feed silos across the country especially in there in Texas and over here in Oklahoma and this is really nice seeing this a part of Texas history thanks.🇺🇲🏭🏣
I was just there a month ago and didn’t see a single resident. Just a couple dozen tourists at the beach checking out the sculptures.
Lived and worked inPhoenix 10 years. Loved 99 % of my time there. Was able to visit some of these. Great feeling! Ya better love Heat!
I called Oatman home during the 90s. You did a very nice job with this video, with lots of great history and facts. One minor correction, for the sake of accuracy, though. You won't find the Superstition Mountains anywhere near Oatman, they lie east of Phoenix. Safe travels, good sir!
Thank you for bring this to my attention. Never heard of this wonderful site!
1963 my neighbor in Tempe AZ found $230.,000. worth of gold. He showed it to me 1 day before we moved away he had his gold in several 1 quart mason jars full of black sand and gold. He used a magnet to remove iron then panned the gold in his kitchen sink. He sold gold a little bit every few weeks so no one knew he had a lot of gold. We moved back to Illinois and I never saw him again. I was 13 years old then I had no desire for money yet. I completely forget about Noble for about 50 years.
Thats a good memory! Thank you for sharing
This was a great look at Glass Beach Thanks.🌊🫧🇺🇲
i hear there was a plan to fix this place up all the towns around the sea and restore that too but why would you want to do that it will become gentrified and cost of living will go up
They're actually in my area. I wouldn't have known of this had it not been for the fact that they drive by with at least one car with that name on the side.
Excellent video thank you for show casing smaller towns and the history in a modern edit. Entertaining and well produced. Thank you for your hard work.
I was stationed at Williams AFB in the early 90s and frequented the area of Goldfield and the Lost Dutchman State Park. I remember one day coming around a curve and seeing a old prospector leading a mule. I thought he might have been a period actor, but now wonder if he was a ghost.
I've seen a lot of tv shows featuring the independent state of Slowjamastan and seen a tour of it many times but you don't hear to much about unless it's in documentary where i saw it or on a UA-cam shows long live Slowjamastan thanks.🇺🇲📺🇺🇲
Hermit Crabs have an amazing mysterious look especially seeing their claws which are really awesome as they crawl around on various surfaces such as the ground and on tables this was really awesome thanks.🐚🇺🇲🐚
This is a very nice place to visit and learn about crocodiles, manatees birds and other animal life in the Everglades at the Guy Bradley Visitor Center this really awesome thank you.🐊🪿🦑🦂🇺🇲
We stayed here 30 years ago on a tour of the USA by car for bed & breakfast. Back then it was a nice little motel with very friendly owners.
Went there last year. So creepy. We were driving down from Slab City though, so it was still an improvement...
My son and I just made that same trip, and you're right..lol
I Too ! ... 🤣😂😅 ....👀
I was just there last week. It’s beautiful with the Christmas lights.
The San Antonio Riverwalk is a very beautiful part of the city to walk around and explore especially around Christmas time this is really very nice to visit especially around the holidays thanks.🏞️🇺🇲🏞️
Used to take my children there. I remember riding the little train with my then toddler daughter, not knowing a mock train robbery would occur. It took a lot to talk my daughter down from her heightened state of terror. Poor kid. It was a fun place to go for birthday parties.
