    The Sister Kenny method for treatment of polio victims did use hot baths and heat packs. Along with rehabilitation of the muscular activity. And since my dad was Paralyzed as a child do to polio and he still is walking to day because of this treatment. I think there was something to the heat in the baths that did help.

    My wife and I were through Hot Springs in August. The bathhouses are beautiful. We spent the night at the historic Arlington Hotel. It had once been beautiful, but has clearly fallen upon hard times. Everyone we met was wonderfully hospitable, and the food was excellent.

    Thank you for this beautiful tour! My in-laws retired in Hot Springs Village in 1996. Our three older children grew up visiting Hot Springs twice a year and we had so much fun! Unfortunately, we lost my father-in-law in 2013. Since then our two youngest haven’t had a lot of opportunity to visit and enjoy Hot Springs the way our three older kids did. When we take my mother-in-law there now it is for very short visits. I would love it if our older children still went with us and could take the younger kids and show them everything.

    Relatively new subscriber here. I loved your tour of Hot Springs Bathhouse Row, Laine! The architecture was gorgeous, and the Tiffany windows lovely. I noticed that the flags outdoors were at half staff, and I'm trying to recall, two years later, why that was. President Bush, perhaps? (Edit) Nope, he passed in 2018. Hmmm....

    Very interesting - what a beautiful looking town in a gorgeous setting. Never been to Arkansas - I'd be interested to know how many visitors Hot Springs enjoyed in its heyday and compared to today. I'd like to see more videos like this, when you are in the mood (& you have the time!) Thanks for sharing...

    We have a lot of mineral springs here in WV, but sadly most of the bathhouses are gone or in ruins now. One can still “take the waters” at the Greenbrier Resort but the baths are modernized. 😢

    We visited a few years ago. Enjoyed our visit. I did take a spa treatment in the bathhouse with the blue and white awnings. It included a needle shower, site bath, and cooling down. I have also been to spa treatment at the Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia, when T. Jefferson use to go. Such pampering!

    Beautiful tour! Welcome to Hot Springs! One of my ex-husband's friends bought Al Capone's house in Bonnerdale years ago. We had fun looking for things there on the property. The house had some false walls too. Not sure what became of it.

  • @dianequist835
    @dianequist835 3 роки тому +2

    Truly beautiful!
    On a side note, I did find myself giggling at one point .... men retired to sun bath in the nude while the women put their corset back on and got their hair done. I have a deceased aunt who would have been sorely miffed at not partaking in the sunbathing in her birthday suit. She was quite the character.

  • @kellicooke8188

    I really enjoyed the tour of the Fordyce.
    My one request would be to slow down the video on the details of the floor tile (so hard to fully enjoy the details when it goes by so fast.)
    Hope to visit that area one of these days. It does look lovely there.

    Hello Laine, Your narration of this beautiful video showing and teaching us about these wonderful hot-springs is amazing.

    Reminds me some of Titanic! One of the sister ships actually has the woodwork from her preserved in a hotel on land, so it's like walking one of the decks of the Titanic! The rooms had different design made from wood designating what the room was for, just like the stained glass windows here!

    Looking at the tile floor in the "Ladies Entertainment Room" all I could think "If Lane had to lay That Tile piece by piece like in Janie's bathroom it might have just pushed her right over the edge of sanity!" WoW Gorgeous! That whole building is!
    Your Voice! If u ever get tired of manual labor, you'd have no problem getting a career going as a voice actor or book on tape reader or anything else that requires a soothing & well spoken voice! Gotta admit it would b better on your body!
    Just my opinion but u would b a Great Actress! 😎 Luved the tour! Thanks!

    Thank you so much for the tour! Laine you have a very pleasant voice and it makes watching the videos such a joy. The tile floors are to die for!! I have to admit that my first thoughts after seeing the steam pods was a scene from Netflix series Ratchet. I believe nurse Ratchet tortured someone in one of those🥴 and after watching that series that’s what I think of when I see these rooms.
