Instagram - AdamTheWooATW A really enjoyable drive up Hwy 17. Best part is I’d never stopped in most these little towns before. Love little hidden communities
We live in Port charlotte and take this way up to disney/universal a couple times a month. Like it better then 75/4 route. Just wish there was a way to go through davenport/celebration instead of having to deal with I4
We did some of that, Arcadia to be exact. Peace River Outfitters would be why we would go back. Drop you off and canoe/kayak back to base. Lake Wales with Bock Tower, Spook Hill if cruising locally. Mount Dora. I'm missing something but we made it to Ceder Key then down the West Coast. We will do it again, and thanks always for you blog!
Your trip on 17 reminded me of an old route sales job I had back in the late 80’s early 90’s. Was cool to see the changes / sameness of the area. There’s a castle made of scrape tin (new paper printing tin I think) a few miles to the west of Zolfo Springs - Solomon’s Castle - In Ona, Fl. Still there ( I googled). Could be a future adventure for you…
That old school in Fort Ogden was converted into a home a someone i worked with at the Prison out on Hwy 70 and a few years ago the people who bought it from that guy built the big shop next to it and my oldest son worked there. That was Auto Mafia Racing.
Hey I love your videos! I live in a small town just 2 hours away from you. Down south you should visit Okeechobee. If your ever come, we could take you out on Lake Okeechobee!
A beautiful array of roadside goodness. We have driven Hwy 17 a few times going from Clermont to Cape Coral. My family spent several Memorial Day weekends at Peace River KOA in Arcadia when I was kid.
When I toured Florida in 2018, I stayed this really cool town called Everglades City. I wish at that point I knew I was going to have a channel. Love ya stuff Adam, watch every day. Cheers Trev 🇦🇺
Re: Peter Wolf Toth: Adam may be thinking of the story, Peter and the Wolf, OR J Geils Band singer, Peter Wolf from songs like "Musta Got Lost", "Love Stinks".
I love it, a 42 minute small town video on a Monday morning! I got my work done early today, so I'm here for this content! Please let me grab something to eat before I join you for Breakfast and Woo...shall you?
The building at 32:04 was not a jail but rather the Green Hotel that was built in 1925. Then later on it served as a train station. Now it is just basically abandoned which is sad.
@@FireLeyNyx Ok but originally it was built as a hotel. I knew from looking at it when I saw it in the past when driving through Bowling Green and looking it up to verify. There is another hotel in Dunedin called the Fenway that is built with the same architectural style just much larger.
These backroad videos are appreciated more than you know. I’m a local here in Orlando and it’s always nice to see areas I am not used to, makes me want to go out and explore the unknown 🤠
@@TheDailyWooHi, Adam! 😊 The Ravine Gardens State Park in Palatka is Beautiful 🤩! Have you ever been there? By the way, I love that diner! Delicious one pound burger! 🍔
My favorite thing about your videos is you don’t complain you don’t rant and rave 🤣you just go about your business and explore and try to find interesting things🥰
I agree. He’s almost like Mr. Rogers in a sense. It’s like he creates a world within our world if that makes sense. He doesn’t bring current events or politics into the videos. With the “backroads & small towns” vids it’s easy to get lost in them. I really enjoy them.
It's truly a shame to see so many empty storefronts in these downtowns that will never have a purpose again. All that you have is to imagine what they used to be and the people who worked there and who they used to help.
Great video Adam. Honestly, these are the videos you do I enjoy the most. That's not saying I don't enjoy your others, but small towns off the beaten path and abandoned places are among my favorite.
Love seeing these random bits of florida I won't ever get to see myself. I know so much random stuff about back towns of America . All your fault after the many years of watching your vlogs.
As a former #trucker (now driving buses at Walt Disney World), I used to deliver items to the nearby WalMart distribution center, or when I drove tanker, picked up/delivered citrus juice to the plant outside town. I always enjoyed seeing these small towns compared with the hustle and bustle of Orlando.
Its crazy the Dichotomy that exists in Florida. Between the overcrowding, and the desolation. It is especially crazy when it exist on the same road just a few miles apart.
LOVE these backroads trips! I moved back to FL after being gone 40 years. THESE places are the FL I remember from the 60's & 70's. THEY feel like home. WHAT in the world happened to this place?
Watching you drive through Winter Haven made me think about Cypress Gardens. Have you been there recently? I live in the UK but use to love Cypress Gardens, not been there since 2006. I hear it is part of Lego Land now, i wonder how much of the gardens still exist? Love this vlog about the backroads of Florida. Very interesting.
Curious, I look up "Punta Gorda." It means, "Fat Point." I'm sure it refers to a piece of land extending into some body of water, but a funny name for a town nonetheless.
Always love the small town stuff and sometimes I go to Google Maps and check out the rest of a town you show some highlights in, as I did in Homeland, wondering what the "industry" would be in a town so small and so devoid of businesses and saw the huge pallet manufacturer! I live in the biggest tricity area in North Idaho and our pallet guy is way smaller than that! Also, loved "The Inn", such a cool design and imagined it to be several sorts of business and sad to see it was just wasting away. Zillow listed it as a two bedroom two bath house of all things, but it seems as if that couldn't have been it's original use, hope someone can give us the history of it! Thanks for another off highway "driveabout" as I like to call them.
don't understand why we haven't seen this type of traveling already, been wondering when would see this type of content again, enjoyed it, like seeing an old friend.
Good morning Adam, now this one i like, sloooooowly driving along the back roads.The town of Arcadia looks nice and interesting.Take care from Universal Jamie.
Great video Adam. I think that car on the lift was a 70's model Chevy NOVA. I also believe the item on the floor of that pump room was a comercial biscuit cutter. Never know what you're going to 👀. That is why you gotta watch the whole video. 😎👍
I am "Thumbs-up" 908 today! This was so good, the town reminded me of Port Richey, inland from Tarpon Springs (home of the sponge divers). Okay, Adam, early on in your video, when you showed the map: by where you were at Port Charlotte, one day, continue up to Sarasota and when you do, WOW!, stop by and emerse yourself in that which is the RINGLING, BARNUM AND BAILEY CIRCUS MUSEUM(!) Also on the property (which is lush and gorgeous and by a body of water) there is the original mansion of Mr. and Mrs. John and Mable Ringling. It is named the Ca- d'Zan and was the arc of living in the roaring 20's. There is also an art museum at the other end of the park which holds the couples fine art that rivals The Louve, I kid you not. Please video there one day, you should see it while upon this earth, Adam.
I'm a photographer and it's relieving to find im not the only one who drives to the unknown small and historic towns just to find what intriguing thing I'll run into. Honestly so much fun! Have you checked out the Solomon's Castle before?
Across the street exactly where dollar general is the house my wife was brought home to after being born used to sit. Cool seeing Adam go though areas close to me
We very much enjoyed this video …. Having lunch and taking a relaxing ride with you on the welcoming back roads of florida …. Doesn’t get any better than that … please share more of these with us
Thank you for the mix of content Adam, it's appreciated. Your Spring training time is like our soccer pre-season in England. It's probably my favourite time of the season with the optimism of the new players joining and the absence of the inevitable crushing disappointment of defeats in the regular season!
Truck stops are becoming more common with brands that have been just gas. Quick Trip has recently moved into the Jackson Mississippi area with 5 locations. Most being truck friendly.
That is not just a vine. That’s a type of Cactus, that is referred to as a variety of Vine Cactus that produces both flowers and fruit. Loves to grow on trees like you showed us. Love when you take leisurely travels such as this. See some places I’ve visited and many places we’ve yet to visit. Thank you for sharing this with us all. 🌎❤️😊
Mr Adam the woo I admire you man you're living my dream ✨️ Always wanted to live like this just doing what I like enjoy myself traveling west to east south to north. But now I have a family and way too many bills to pay 😅 I guess I have to wait until retirement 😢 Anywho Keep doing whatever you like we enjoy all your videos like road trips, theme parks, etc
Adam I so enjoy this nice drive video and seeing small little towns and forgotten main streets. Oh PS BTW now that you have a homestead will you please plant some Petunias at your house.
Fort Meade, with its super wide main drag, reminds me of towns in Hollywood movies, like "To Wong Foo, thanks for everything! Love, Julie Newmar", and "Varsity Blues", "Children of the Corn" (he who walks between the rows...), and "Zombieland". The best one that comes to mind is the made-for-TV mini-series, the 1994 original "The Stand". And the friendly lady and her pooch in Homeland FL are right: real Florida! Where we goin' next, Boss? ↕️↔️↖️↙️⬅️⬇️
Had to laugh at how cheap fuel is in the USA. $3.299 per gallon. Just filled up this morning here in Brisbane (Australia) for $1.909 per litre. That is $7.226 per gallon!!! And that's during the low fuel price cycle.
You actually spotted a Plymouth 340 Duster or Dodge 340 Demon in Hemi Orange. Hemi orange being the color name, a 340 is not a Hemi engine. The 340 is a great engine though, higher revving, lots of power. It's the Chrysler/Mopar A-Body platform shared with Dodge Dart and Plymouth Valiant, a bit smaller than the B-body Dodge Charger General Lee. It's still a rare and sought after vehicle, 340 cars were the most powerful A-body cars, outside an handful of 383 powered drag cars.
I am from a small village near Ottawa, Ontario Canada. It's called Ashton. When I was 10yrs old in 1983 we drove to Florida, my 2nd trip there. We drove through an Ashton Florida...smaller than my Ashton. I wonder sometimes if it still exists. Going to go give it a Google.
That is Night Blooming Cereus. I’m surprised you’ve never seen it, we have it everywhere here in St. Cloud. Gorgeous flowers that bloom every June, and only at night. Wish I could post a photo of it.
Exaclty that way when folks tried to escape they were not cut up too bad but the chainlink folded inwards is harder to climb then a normal up and down.
Little obs, it must be occupational hazard, trippin over stuff, whilst filming. You need a camera sonar/radar to help guide you during your outtabouts.
It's pronounced Wau/Chu/La. My Grandmother was born there and passed away there. I spent all of my summers there!!! The store with all the wood on the front was the old Ben Franklin 5 & Dime store where you could get a soda from the fountain!!! The corner building with the clock on it was the bank when my grandparents were alive. The tan/light yellow building you thought was a church was English Chevrolet building. My Grandma worked the parts counter. It said vacant for awhile and then someone moved in and sandblasted old classic cars to restore them. The is 8th Ave and my grandparents lived on that street.
"Arcadia historic district comprises"... not "compromises"... lol Thanx for the video.. come back to see us when you can stay longer and highlight more... much to do and see in good ole Arcadia !!!
Adam! Next time you are up in North Carolina, you ought to check out Washington, NC! Beautiful historic small town, with a waterfront. NC’s first capital Bath isn’t far away too. Bath is also where Blackbeard the pirate resided. Get you a Bill’s hot dog while you’re in Washington. You’ll love it!
Frostproof Florida is an undiscovered gem surrounded by 2 beautiful lakes and a quaint downtown.The downtown could use a brewpub and some public art.The town is kind of a diamond in the rough.Great for someone especially retirees looking for a slower,more affordable lifestyle.
My Great Grandparents lived in Berea (near Avon Park) my Great Grandfather owned a Barber Shop in Wauchula for years. My Dad grew up around Bowling Green.
Cool that you are in the new video Humbly Super Famous on actor Tom Wilson youtube as his friend which you are of course as he has been in your videos . He played Biff in Back to the Future and was in Police Academy movies
That building with the Tower and the fence around it reminds me of that old Burt Reynolds movie with Dom DeLuise where they were in an insane asylum and John television was trying to kill Burt Reynolds open that Bell Tower can't remember the name of the movie but that looks like from that was?
Loved this tour! I really like the things that catch your attention. Seriously love it. I was wondering if that town Arcadia had hurricane damage or Something. The cars in that stripped building and the roof of that house next to it or any of that area? That actually would be a neat tour to go through the hurricane damaged areas. Like Find pics of Ian damaged areas then drive through those areas. I did that with Katrina -well pre UA-cam careers lol

doing more.
More rural Florida Woo! Very Cool!
Loved the carved statues! They were very cool to see.

7:03 That brick school is amazing. I'd live in it. And arcadia is super cool with it's old mains street buildings.
I would like to live in an old school or maybe an old post office, always thought it would be cool.
That would be so great. Or an old church.@@PammyK-m9b
That old school in Fort Ogden was converted into a home a someone i worked with at the Prison out on Hwy 70 and a few years ago the people who bought it from that guy built the big shop next to it and my oldest son worked there. That was Auto Mafia Racing.
Oh wow that's cool it's a home now.@@krislane7549
Thank you Adam... Cool stuff buddy. We love watching this stuff.
Heck yeah kicking it oldschool
Hey I love your videos! I live in a small town just 2 hours away from you. Down south you should visit Okeechobee. If your ever come, we could take you out on Lake Okeechobee!
Have you ever done a full tour of A1A? That would be a cool series of videos
A beautiful array of roadside goodness. We have driven Hwy 17 a few times going from Clermont to Cape Coral. My family spent several Memorial Day weekends at Peace River KOA in Arcadia when I was kid.
Free Cypress Garden ski in Winter Haven. 2 hour show, Lake Silver
Maybe see ya there. Travel safe.
Nocatee pronounced "knock-ah-tee". Nice to see Adam showing viewrers some of the historic small co munities of SW Florida. 🫡
That tree reminds me of Ernest Scared Stupid tree.
I'm glad you're doing some road trips. I'd love to see some Everglades area. Trev 🇦🇺
I do need to get back down there
When I toured Florida in 2018, I stayed this really cool town called Everglades City. I wish at that point I knew I was going to have a channel.
Love ya stuff Adam, watch every day. Cheers Trev 🇦🇺
Thanks Adam!!
Re: Peter Wolf Toth: Adam may be thinking of the story, Peter and the Wolf, OR J Geils Band singer, Peter Wolf from songs like "Musta Got Lost", "Love Stinks".
Or Raggae legend Peter Tosh. LOL
FYI:
Florida, Bowling Green, Green Hotel
The Spanish Colonial Revival style building was constructed in 1925 as the Green Hotel.
As you have seen, Arcadia is a Mecca for Antique stores and around June, they have bands and street vendors showcasing antiques for sale
Such a great town
5:40 not aqua green but turquoise i would say
Easter green
At 06:35, did you mean Poly as in plastic or Polynesian?? Ref to style of building roof or material? Just intriguing, little side thoughts.....
Have you ever been to St. Augustine? Americas oldest city.
You missed Andrew McCutchen MLB from Fort Meade
I love it, a 42 minute small town video on a Monday morning! I got my work done early today, so I'm here for this content! Please let me grab something to eat before I join you for Breakfast and Woo...shall you?
Masonic Temple in your pic of the green building.
Time to hit the ol’dusty trail!
Acadia city hall needs a new American flag.
The building at 32:04 was not a jail but rather the Green Hotel that was built in 1925. Then later on it served as a train station. Now it is just basically abandoned which is sad.
I remember it being like a juvenile detention center at one point. Not for very long though.
@@FireLeyNyx Ok but originally it was built as a hotel. I knew from looking at it when I saw it in the past when driving through Bowling Green and looking it up to verify. There is another hotel in Dunedin called the Fenway that is built with the same architectural style just much larger.
@@mustangcindy1303 yes it was and it still looks so cool. When we were driving down south all the time when I was a kid I always loved that building.
That building was a juvenile detention for awhile.

Try and make it to Palatka and eat at angels florida’s oldest diner. Since your headed north, they got good onion rings.
Palatka is a great little town . Been a while since I’ve been there

It is . Super compact then nothingness
With how things are currently going over there in Florida...those gaps will be filled in shortly.
It’s a microcosm of America. A lot of high density cities separated by empty areas.
That happens in lots of places
I know a guy that had a dickotomy…
The crows timing was impeccable. Lol

Wonderful Walking and talking
I know a few ppl from Wauchula, great little town, mostly a steer shipping community.
Adam don’t forget your 192 series! Been looking forward to that stretch beyond Kissimmee. Thanks!
The nooks, crannies and back roads of America....the Woo at his best!
Hurray for the ‘small town exploration’ episode…always Great in my estimation. Thanks Adam, you the man!🎉
Curious, I look up "Punta Gorda." It means, "Fat Point." I'm sure it refers to a piece of land extending into some body of water, but a funny name for a town nonetheless.
That was a gold mine of small town goodness today! 😀
Enjoyed the back roads small town vibes thanks for bringing us along.

Only place I've seen those fences around the front doors were old asylums for keeping the kids in
Exaclty that way when folks tried to escape they were not cut up too bad but the chainlink folded inwards is harder to climb then a normal up and down.
It was a hotel and in the early 2000’s they turned it into a juvenile detention center. Not sure when it closed down

Frostproof Florida is an undiscovered gem surrounded by 2 beautiful lakes and a quaint downtown.The downtown could use a brewpub and some public art.The town is kind of a diamond in the rough.Great for someone especially retirees looking for a slower,more affordable lifestyle.
Adam the Woo spots Cow the Moo!!

Cool that you are in the new video Humbly Super Famous on actor Tom Wilson youtube as his friend which you are of course as he has been in your videos
. He played Biff in Back to the Future and was in Police Academy movies
That building with the Tower and the fence around it reminds me of that old Burt Reynolds movie with Dom DeLuise where they were in an insane asylum and John television was trying to kill Burt Reynolds open that Bell Tower can't remember the name of the movie but that looks like from that was?
Loved this tour! I really like the things that catch your attention. Seriously love it. I was wondering if that town Arcadia had hurricane damage or Something. The cars in that stripped building and the roof of that house next to it or any of that area? That actually would be a neat tour to go through the hurricane damaged areas. Like Find pics of Ian damaged areas then drive through those areas. I did that with Katrina -well pre UA-cam careers lol
Adam, you remind me sometimes of the news series called On The Road with Charles Kuralt.
You aren’t living a double life are you? 😂
