Can’t wait to see it Jay!!! Happy new year!!
As a native Floridian with 67 trips so far ...around the Sun .Dude, you are awesome!!! I just love your videos .Bringing back lots of memories of old Florida and its really true deep interior beauty.
I'm loving his stuff. From Arcadia.
I love these videos. My 😍 favorites! Old Florida armchair traveling at its best!
Hello Tampa Jay, I am originally from Ohio and moved to Dade City, Florida in 1962. I am engaged to be remarried at 66 years and my fiance' is from Indiana but grew up in LA, CA. We met 2.5 years ago in Vancouver, WA. I told him in lived in the boondocks as he is a country boy at heart. Two weeks ago I told him we got barbecue sandwiches a couple times a year in Lacoochee, FL. This show came up on youtube and we watched it. Holy smokes. There was George & Gladys barbecue place. I was in shock. I haven't been back there since I turned 20 years old. I moved to Tampa and met my first husband there and he was a city guy so I spared my ego of embarrassment. He was from Pittsburgh, PA and not into country girls. LOL. We watched Arnie three nights ago on What Is Eating Gilbert Grape and when you referenced it regarding the water tower, we burst out laughing. Way too many synchronicities happened watching this. Thank you for waking up my dormant past and for allowing me to share it with this wonderful man who accepts me unconditionally. He understands me so much better and thinks that area would have been more fun versus LA in which he did not resonate. Love to you and Chris!
I always really enjoy these explorations. It’s the side of Florida that most of us never get the chance to see. For some reason I always dig seeing Spanish moss, not much of it around here. The General Store was pretty amazing, so much cool stuff in there! Always remember those spare batteries. Nothing worse than a dead camera when you’re far away from the car. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We live just north of the Green Swamp in Linden/Webster. Love the General Store. We like to get our honey there since it's local.
Love your videos, Jay!
You always show me such good spots to visit - I’ve learned a lot of FL ins and outs from your vids!!!
Love Florida history love your general stores and abandon places keep up the good work in 2024. I’ll keep coming back to watch. 🔥🔥😁😁
love that richloam store! thank you. the old toys/games!
I liked and shared this video 📹 out your welcome Jay Happy New Year
Lakeland my home town. I once lived off Campbell Rd. I now live in Orlando. Thanks Tampa Jay for sharing. 👍
Boy, do I dearly love that old general store. I haven't seen one like that since growing up in the early 70s. And that soda machine in the front of the store brought tears to my eyes. I remember those very well back in early 70s in front of gas stations and old mom & pop stores before Walmart came in the picture. Thank you so much for sharing with us Tampa Jay.
Hello Tampa jay the general store is awesome and you were in my part of town the other day when you were in mulberry love the video's
Awesome video, my friend! I love the old fashioned General Stores still left around. Thank you for sharing.

Cool video general stores are awesome… where I grew up in Pennsylvania we had one that felt like you stepped back in time.
Awesome
Not expecting a video in my hometown. Thanks for the content .

This is awesome! I was just talking to my husband about visiting this place soon and finding the abandoned bridge nearby! Next time you should see if you can find it.

Oh and I told him about camping as a kid for a weekend at the Withlacoochee Forest. I am still reeling from the entire adventure.
There’s a lot of history in Florida thanks for having me along for the ride
Richloam Store. We visit quite often. Really nice owners and atmosphere. Awaiting your "special video" J + C?..... Jim
Happy New Gers Tampa Jay. Mvh Anton Rosander. Skane Of Swiden.
Happy new years
A shame a lot of places have become abandoned like this, they would look really nice if restored.
Hey J great video. I love that store too. You should have gone up to the restaurant Southren Harmony. Fantastic food and the owner is one of my best friends. ❤
It’s on my list. Thanks for watching :)
💚🎃🖤Hi, Jay!! USA needs to become more conscientious of preserving our aging structures and historical sights, the way older countries do. We are too much about abandoning or tearing down and rebuilding.
Your in my town. Love it.
Thank you! Happy New Year!
The Boylan sodas and the similar brand Stewart's are some of the best sodas I've had, probably due to the cane sugar, which I think is used in Mexican Coke/Pepsi. They sold it in some of my local pizzerias.
Happy New Year Tampa Jay.
Happy New Year!
That's my neck of the woods! Good ole polk lol I know exactly where that is there are so many old houses like that in this area polk county has been a central hub for alot of farming and citrus for years . Sadly We are losing a lot of our citrus groves and developers are buying it and putting in housing developments.
See you next year...Mr Jay...or next week 😂😅
I going there , very COOL
❤
It looks like a farm in the Midwest!
I love Spaghetti😁
Your in my neck of the Woods 😆
Love that area thank you!
@@TampaJay thank u
I found it funny. About your dad making it work out of pennies. 😅
He truly did. Kept a jar of Pennies on top.
@@TampaJay good memories.
I know somebody that was a squatter and moved in this trailer and it took him three years
I haven't had a double cola since the 1970s.
