That was just plain nice of you to let that kid plug his channel and talk to him like that. You are one of the best in the game, my friend, and that's the reason why. The antique store and pizza place were amazing. If I still lived in Illinois, I'd be on my way there now. Oh and that was an apple pie tree. I remember having one in the McDonald's by me in the 70s.
Another fun day. The schoolhouse pizza was my favorite. If I was kid I'd be begging my parents to go everyday. Amazing collection.
OMG! That young man was nice to hear from talking about the trains❤️
I’ve lived in Joliet all my life and I never knew we had a museum, I just knew we had a weird obsession with blues brothers and route 66
ROOOOAD TRIPPPP! 🙌 🚗 That boy made the entire video. He's a future videographer 🎥 sooo adorable!
The decor at that pizza place was amazing!
Good trek. Loved that old pizza place and all the other stops.
Ty Jacob for showing the Valparaiso Indiana part of Lincoln Hwy
The pizza looked so good. And that place was amazing. That train kid was so cute. Can you imagine in a few years how many more UA-camrs there will be? It is going to be come a legitimate job i think. Something fun to do. And Jacob you are one of the best and pioneers 😁👍🏼
Loved this video Jacob. You are so awesome for taking us with you and seeing the sights just please stay safe.I went and subscribed to the little train lover. I grew up beside the railroad and loved the sound at night.
That pizza restaurant is amazing!
The bear that sold beer ... I believe it was Hamms beer!
That bear was my grandfather's favorite mascot.
Hamm's has a Bear, but that was the Coors Beer Wolf 😎🍺
I love all the trains. I love trains!
That Old School Pizza looks AMAZING!! I'd totally be at home there amongst all the pop culture goodness! It puts the local Pizza place right outside the backdoor of my apartment to shame... I am enjoying your road trip videos so much! Stay safe, Jacob 🙂
Omg I randomly came across this video. Old school is 10 mins from me!!
I think it's so cool that you can name everything,my brain way behind yours,lol!Thank you for these videos,so interesting and so much fun!!
Hey Jacob! So glad you got to visit your hometown. I hope that my husband and I can go in a road trip someday. The old lady figure in the pizza restaurant is Maxine. I’d like to see the Kool-Aid Discover the Dream Museum, and the Bigfoot Crossroads of America Museum in Hastings, Nebraska. Safe travels! Thanks for sharing your road-trip.
Keep up the awesome videos 💞
The pizza place is amazing, thank you for taking us! That kid is cool, he might grow up to do what you do. The old lady figure sitting down is Maxine!
Another great road trip. Loved that pizza parlor. Have you ever been to one of those pizza places where a train brings you your food? Think there's a few of them in the midwest but forget the name of the place.
I also love McDonald's nostalgia, that was an apple pie tree from the McDonaldland playgrounds of the 70's.
Frtz's here in Kansas City. Trains still run daily!
Wow this was like a Twilight Zone episode where you get to meet your younger self and discuss vlogging 101. What a great episode! Safe travels....
The Blues Brothers is my FAVORITE movie! I would love to visit this place!! -Courtney 📍
I watch these every night before bed and I’m loving going on this trip with you! I live in Canada so it’s neat to see the States from this perspective.
Awesome day today love the pizza 🍕🍕🍕 and the 🚂🚃🚂🚃 exbits were so amazing love your old home town you find the most wonderful things and places the little buddy who loves 🚃🚂🚃🚃 was so much fun 😊😊😊😊 see you tomorrow 💐😘🌞
Awesome Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍👍😀 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
This series is really making me want to take the Lincoln Highway all the way out West, and then take Route 66 all the way back east.
I love Albanese candy, didn't know it was from Indiana.
If you’re from here it annoys you lol
@@ryanvance5554 I'm from Detroit
@@susanboatman7913 I live ten minutes away from the factory, place gets bigger and bigger every year, it’s a HUGE eye sore
@@ryanvance5554 I'm sorry, Meijer the grocery store I shop at carries them. They maybe expanding to cover Meijer orders.
@@susanboatman7913 their candy is literally everywhere! When I go to other states stores slap their label on them and sell them as their own but it’s funny we know it’s their candy because of the A’s on gummies Seen in california , Tennessee, Texas, florida, everywhere . They’re turning into a huge corporate place like Hershey and what not.
Awesome hearing Elvis "In the ghetto" and the Partridge Family " I think I love you".
Really enjoyed this fun video with so much to explore and see! 😄 All those gummies looked lovely and I remember those candy cigarettes! The Joliet Museum was cool and seeing that delicious pizza has made me crave a big pizza now! 🍕😍 Thanks Jacob for brightening my day and best wishes ☀️
I remember having the candy cigarettes that were kind of like chalk and another kind that were bubble gum and blew powder smoke
@@christophermichael.w.7577 Yes I remember the chalky type ones but haven't seen them in a long time
Thanks for your videos. For me i tend to open up and just talk when i drive in long trips so if there's nothing to do maybe there's something to say?
Carpetbagger. Enjoying this series. Good luck out there. Have a great week.
From one Valparaiso Indiana resident to another Valparaiso Indiana resident ty for sharing
He needs to come back for popcorn fest
Thanks Jacob. Have a great day!
Loved this, the Lincolnway thing reminds me of this road we have in the UK called the Great North road, while not aslong as we are quite literally smaller than most US states it goes from the south right up into Scotland as was the main road to London for centuries, while now some parts are disconnected as it was turned into the A1M you can see it's history in the streets it used to pass through with the Old Inns and coachhouses.
I loved the Pizza place massively and the Candy dispensers (I hope you remembered your Gumball from the sword fighters and the machine in Scotts would've been in my hands in seconds) and the tour of Scotts as these are my kinda places, so Uncle Carpetbagger where to next?
Hey, hello fellow Brit! 👋
That antique store and the pizza place looked awesome! 🤩
I was hoping you'd show us your childhood home! I don't believe I've heard of your hometown until now. Thanks for taking us along.
Ive been watching your videos for a couple of years now, and I'm just finding out we're from the same town! Pretty cool.
Thanks for the “Black, dark like a dolls eyes” Excellent that you remembered to do that! 😁
I must give you all the kudos you deserve. I could never undertake such a trip, unless I used a rental and flew back. I would find the trip to SF great, but to drive back? That is where I would loose my mind..
Crud, I was hoping to see you Downtown in Valpo! Enjoy your trip!
Random but I noticed I was the 60,000th view of this video! Makes me so happy to see those numbers on your channel!
I also grew up in Chicago/Northwest Indiana, and had I had no idea Lincoln Highway was a coast to coast highway until this current adventure of yours! Albanese sherbet bears are AMAZING!!
Carpetbagger literally living the best life
I have a friend that lives there...well used too. She was born there. I miss her from time to time.
I love your videos, thanks for sharing.
The things in the Mcdonalds tree are apple pies. It's an apple pie tree😂
At least the bad rain started not too long before you stopped for the night. Thanks for another cool video.
Absolutely love the road trip videos ❤️
I am loving this road trip so fun!
Did the kid have a channel or website? Loving the travel across the Lincoln Highway. Sorry we missed you in Canton
123 Trains on youtube
@@angelajones3131 did this channel change its name. I can’t find it but would like to subscribe to support him.
@@jeffdeluca9089 Still see his channel & no change
@@angelajones3131 idk I searched for 123 Trains and even filtered to channels but I don’t see it. Thanks for responding.
Albanese chocolate covered gummie bears are a new addiction - uh!mazing!!!
I'm SO glad you asked about the star wars!! LOL I was really wondering :) Always love watching your travels bud!
That's the coolest pizza place I've ever seen!
I'm from cedar rapids IA! I live in Las Vegas currently but I still love going and visiting my home town!
Albanese Candy Factory is the bomb 💣and only a few minutes from my house. I wish they had the actual factory open for tours again, I think your viewers would have really liked that.
Interesting places today. Looked up Thomas McLaurie trying to find out his history but have not found anything so far. That pizza place was awesome. So many great things to see . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
I have heard that the Joliet prison is like the most violent one in US history with the worst conditions. So glad that I never broke a law lol
really cool to see the Ripley's pendant from Estes Park i live 30 minutes away. . would always go there when i was a kid. It was sad when they closed it down. Thanx Carpet.
Awesome video Carpetbagger! I love the Old School Pizza place. It looks awesome! I also like the characters and all the arcade machines in there. That’s so cool! I know you loved it! I also love Scott’s store. That place is cool too! It has a little bit of everything. Just an oddities shop basically! I also liked the Railroad Park you stopped at. That is a hidden gem for sure. That boy looks like you from a past life. I’ll be sure to subscribe to him on UA-cam. Well, thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
I live in Valpo! I grew up in this area too.I would have lost it if I saw you! Hope you enjoyed your visit Mr. B!
The kid at the end has major “apparently” energy
What a great place you found. The pizza place. Thanks 😊 Bob
Give Iowa some love!
Gummy Cobb look 👀 delicious 😋
Come to the old Joliet Prison this summer, we have a Blue's Brothers Con there now. Also it's awesome to see you a block away from where I used to work where Star Wars Day is held hence the action figures.
You were spot on with the hunt idea.
You are Correct, that is the Coors Beer Wolf at the Old School Pizza place 😎👍
That kid describes my work attitude. "I'm pretty much here on days I can be here"
Lmao
I figured you would have stopped in Dixon. An actual section of the Berlin Wall is on display right off of IL 38, right by the Arch. It's Ronald Reagan's hometown, dontcha know
That was Captain Crook (later know as just The Captain) who originally stole Filet-O-Fish sandwiches the way the Hamburgerlar stole hamburgers, and the Apple Pie Tree from McDonald's
Rt 66 & Lincoln Highway Very Cool 😎 😎
Enjoying this trip very much! Hoping you journey safely😊
Old School Pizza was so coool!
My first car a Pacer, the girls in school called it bubbles. @ 25:35. Another great video Jacob Thanks
I remember visiting Estes Park with my grandparents when I was maybe in Jr high or High School......We went to the Ripley's.....it's not there anymore...😢That was in the 80's...
Killed that pizza. Things taste better when they cool off a bit for sure. You're taste buds are overwhelmed when things are that hot. Love the vlogs pal
Great to see the intersection of the Lincoln Highway and Route 66 as a true road scholar would.
Dixon Illinois is where Ronald Reagan grew up. I bet there was some sort of commemorative spot there. Loved your visit to Albanese - they have some great treats. And they give out free samples!!!
I love the Albanese store. They have the best gummies and chocolate!
You should look up the story of Big League Chew. It is interesting.
Really cool stops on the Lincoln Highway!!
When you pass through Utah you'll be passing by the Great Salt Lake. Check out the SaltAir it's a music venue, it's built on the site of an old resort by the same name. The building it's self is made to resemble the old building.
I was born in Milwaukee too! But I grew up in Florida. I was born at St Michael's hospital in 1979.
As a child j went to a local old fashion general syore with penny candy and you got to pjck esch piecs and they put them jn s bag. It was magical.😊
Great info of this great American Highway my friend while also making me hungry for sweet snacks!
The pizza place was super cool!
I used to do work in Merrivile n Gary. Miss it a lot !
The move at 12:22 is called " Mashed Potato " i think , made populair in tthe song " Do you love me " and yes, they sang that one too! ;)
Carpet bagger I like your videos be careful out there and stay safe
Jacob, you did an outstanding job on this video. Lots of good information! Three items you passed over were two marked Seedling Miles of the Lincoln Highway at North Aurora and Malta as well as Illinois' first community cafe (The Rochelle Kitchen Table).
Have a safe trip. Such fascinating places! And weird! Enjoying your journey.
really enjoyed this one!!! thank you! mr. carpet.......
Love your channel ❤️ thanks 😊
If you ever get back to Colorado you might consider visiting the Jolly Rancher factory. I use to buy mislabeled Jolly Rancher candy the only problem was you had to buy an entire case of them.
what a day, nice long entertaining video. thanks jacob
really enjoy all the places you been to. can't wait to see where you go next
love watching your videos the trains brought back so many memories my Dad worked for both union pacific and Bnsf in Barstow California I use to ride the trains with him all the time
Im new to Jacob 's channel. Personally i feel like the snake center could have been much much cleaner and even safer.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’ve been here already!? Why didn’t you tell me!? Meeting you is on my bucket list. 😭
Your hometown looks so pretty!
Aww what an awesome kid. It's cool you hung out. Loved the pizza place
wow so cool things to see on the road trip
Awesome shirt! I live in Oklahoma!
