25 Year Build-Massive 1950s Backyard Town- Coolest Thing I've Ever Made- EP28
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 кві 2024
- 25 years ago, Debbie and Ronnie started building their 1950s town. Not only does it have 14 separate buildings, but each one of them is jammed packed with 1950s nostalgia. With little to no help, Ronnie built each of the building using mainly recycled and found material and his wife Debbie proceeded to paint them and fill them to the brim. From their working diner (with functioning soda machines) to the full size gas station, this has to be one of the most impressive backyard towns in the world. This is an exclusive first look at this incredible creation.

Big thank you to the Bell Fund for additional funding of this season!
Thanks for watching all! We are a small team (2-3 people) and go out on the road and film everything ourselves. Hoping to keep doing the show so please like and subscribe and share you know someone who likes cool builds! Cheers- Guy (Creator, Coolest Thing I've Ever Made)
You 2-3 do a *great* job with these videos. Perhaps they're the coolest thing you've ever made? Cheers all the way from Argentina🇦🇷🙌🏻🙌🏻
The quality is amazing! Great job capturing and telling the stories
@@Olderaccount17gracias!!
Coolest show I’ve ever seen!
Great job! I loved this video!
Ronnie and Debbie are my parents and they watched this today. They said you did a great job! They do not have internet so they have no way to comment. For those asking, they are not looking to do tours publicly. They are enjoying retirement and only do a few private tours for local churches and friends. It would be too much for them to do more. They have been thrilled to see so many get to enjoy their hardwork and passion through this video. ❤
Thank you! Good to hear! They did amazing!
Can I tour I’m in Tn
Please thank them both for sharing this! I enjoyed it immensely and am going to share this video with my parents, who are probably the same ages as yours.❤️
This was amazing thing to see .your parents are very creative....maybe a bit too creative.
Well, I bet you’re very very very very relieved their collection and passion is very well organized. Please thank them for sharing, I enjoyed it very much.
My word. If I'm ever blessed with the wealth, health and other means of doing this then I'm building a 1980s town.
God bless your finances so you can build your 1980s town 😊
I want to live there when it's done!!!😉
I want to visit when its done!!!!!
It's absolutely crazy to think if I build it when I'm at retirement age, the 80s will be about 60 years ago but it still feels like it was only yesterday 🫣
That's a man who loves his wife.
This video helps with my depression and anxiety. Makes me realise how fun life can really be
❤
Hell yeah, if have have plenty of money.
Call on Jesus and ask Him to take away your depression and anxiety
@@samoliver9132I asked Jesus to come home with me ther other night😊I’m still waiting on him to get back to me🕺
What a busy creative lady and a sweet husband that supports her. Imagine how magical this was for their grandkids growing up. I love people that are passionate with their hobbies. Very cool!
Glad you enjoyed! They were lovely to film with as well!
This is America. Good folks doin their ever loving best.
Everything about this video is impressive
To have been one of their grandchildren must be magic! This is the stuff of my childhood dreams. I could still have a ball there and im 44.
This is honestly probably the most fun thing I have seen in my life. I’m so glad that Debbie and Ronnie shared this with all of us!
Us too!!
@@CoolestThingThis showed up randomly on my feed today. I subscribed to your channel immediately. Looking forward to more fascinating things like this!
Gotta have something to do, looks great but don't forgot to take care of yourselves too! ❤
Dear Lord, whoever found them deserves an award, raise, promotion, etc! This is the coolest thing I also have watched but more importantly Ronnie and Debbie seem like the greatest mom/dad/grandma/grandpa...To there childeren and grandkids, enjoy as much as you can, cherish each moment like it would be the last. I wish them a long healthy life to continue enjoying there town for many many may years to come.
People search their entire life for true love … I think this is true love .. absolutely adorable !
Ehh, he looks a little trapped to me
Iwas thinking th3 same thing! How nice that they found each other 🥰
@@brandyyolidio4213😂 for all we know she built him in the 50s and he’s running on batteries 💀
Impressed she’s a artistic genius
OMG that is the coolest thing ever. I would pay money to visit their backyard. I am not kidding.
Absolutely love this. That's what they call 'Young at heart.' Sweet couple.
1:35 imagine if that place served even mediocre food. it would be packed 24/7 as long as they live within 5-10 miles of a highway. absolutely incredible
I'm so glad he got a barber shop of his own with Pepsi stuff, every man needs his own space ;)
Such sweet people! As kids my best friend and I visited this place, she told me that she’d loved to be proposed to in this little town. A year and a half ago I did just that and she said yes!😁 Thank y’all so much for allowing our dream to come true in your backyard!❤️
I love the joy and happiness they have while talking about this!! I hope my husband and I are just as happy as they seem!
This is the cutest thing ever! I absolutely adore their little town!❤❤❤
the best part of this is experiencing the passion of this couple as they describe how they made everything.
in watching this I instantly love those people
What a wonderful, happy couple. Just Amazing. Bless them! 💙💙💙
I absolutely love this! What a lovely couple! May they spend many more happy years in their amazing town. ❤
I love when people really go for their wild ideas. They went for it and did it so well.
This is so incredible! It's like their own little town!
I dream of finding a great person I can just live in my own world with. This is amazing and warms my heart ❤❤❤
What a lovely couple and what a great thing to do!
They are absolutely precious. I love how he just jumped in and made her visions come true. That’s true love!
So to see people actually doing what gives them pleasure. A lot of times people don’t have the means or energy or time to do what they want. Super cool 😎
Glad they found their passion and enjoying it all!
Her collection is only gonna gain value over time so really it’s a major investment. Plus the property is gaining value but I’m not sure if it outweighs how much they’ve spent over the years on the construction, but most all they love it which is awesome. Don’t ever stop😊
I just watched this for 10 minutes in utter amazement!! The creativity, ingenuity, sheer skill & raw talent that it must have taken to create every last detail of this! Wow! So impressive ❤
What creative people! And how fun and loving they seem towards each other. 😊
Awesome!!! They're not hoarding these items. They've made their own personal museum!!
Its funny how these kids see the 1950s versus adults in 1950, who knew the shift from Forties designs, coastal obsession, Hollywood glam, greens! Light blues! Mint! Maroon! By the late 1950s, it was entirely different. This town reminds me of the early 1950s where 1930s style diners and shops looked like this and were unchaged! So this reminds me of a 1930s village, real 1930s. So well done, and definitely more talented commitment than obsession. Happy couple, lovely.
1:56 "We collect Coke, but drink Pepsi" 🤣I burst into laughing at that simple thing ahaha
Oh. To be one of this couple's grandchildren...what a magical place. I'm probably about your age, Miss Debbie, but can you adopt me??? ❤
Me too!
this is a work of art. hopefully this will be a museum someday. just wow.
This is so cool ❤ I wish they were my grandparents I’d be over there every weekend 😊
Ronnie is blinking "Help Me" in Morse Code if you pay attention closely.
At what point in the video?
😂 These are my parents. Daddy is camera shy and mama is very social. They have been married 53 years in July. I promise they are still happily married.
@@aervin0426 I was starting to worry no one got the joke.
For sure
Thought he said please bring one more vintage coca cola sign with his blinking-im open to more interpretation though!
This is so cool❤ I grew up in the 50s and this is how it was. Oh the memories. Thank you so much❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! That is amazing, and beautiful you should have tour guides for a fee! Great talent from both of you. Thank you for sharing 🥰
I bet they've had alot of fun together! Loved this!
Okay this is PRECIOUS! Man, husband is super clever and talented!
As a SPED teacher, this screams somewhere on the spectrum 😆 hyper-fixation + creativity! I love it ❤️ Finding true joy and doing it as a team 🥹
The "spectrum" is so broad these days practically *everyone* is on it. I'm genuinely annoyed how often I see people labeling others or self-diagnosing themselves with some form of autism.
This is one of the best UA-cam videos I’ve ever seen
Wow! Thanks!
It’s beautiful to see people who are ordinary doing extraordinary things. What a special place. To see the dreams of those coming to fruition is amazing. We don’t see enough of it. The hard work is obvious and it’s absolutely endearing.
This is Amazing!! The Hillary Clinton in the outhouse was hilarious.😂
I love people who have odd niche passions like this ❤❤❤ Makes me feel super glad to be a person living on this earth with other people. And for the internet to see this
ive never uttered the word "WOW" so much in my life. the attention to detail, dedication, ingenuity and hard work is astounding.
So glad to hear! They are awesome!
I wish more people could be like this couple, wow!
Wow, what talent. I think if they contacted Coca Cola, they would probably want to do a commercial. Thank you, for being such fun, creative, geniuses. Sending happy thoughts to everyone.
This is awesome!!!!!
Love this couple! Great video, great story! Thanks for sharing.😄
This is the sweetest, most innovative couple ❤
I would watch the Deb and Ronnie show for sure. What talented artist they both are.
I NEED an entire Documentary or limited series (ice noticed reality tv just turns out bad for the casts)... But I just want so much to 'live' in their universe! Like I could never get tired looking at all the details!!! They deserve a film
What a beautiful people ❤
This channel never fails to impress. These folks have ALOT of stuff on a small lot. The coolest things have a lot of hours of work behind it all.
Well said! Thanks for your support!!
Oh my goodness this is amazing ‼️ Debbie is the ultimate crafter‼️👏🏽 how endearing and sweet(don’t eat the tootsie rolls)🤣🤣 super impressive 🫶🏽
Just magical you guys forreal🪄
This is beyond impressively organized. Wow! What an archive of Americana
This is what’s in every hoarders mind 😂.

They should charge people to come and visit! I love this!
This is amazing!

So Like what ? An arcade ? What kind of 90s stuff sounds cool
It's literally one of the coolest things I've seen!❤
It’s About The coolest Thing I’ve Ever Seen ♥️!!!!!!!These two are Just The Sweetest and When I saw this Video it Reminded Me of Growing Up In Cotton Valley, LA. It was and still is The Sweetest little Town with Folks that have lived There ,Their Whole Lives! If I Had the Help this Would make an Awesome Documentary…. This Cola town
Is Genious🤗Thanks to Debbie and Ronnie for Their Vision Our Own Special Dream🥰♥️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍💝
How awesome to find something that brings you so much joy for 25 years. It was a pleasure watching this wonderful couple & their amazing town.
They're creative ppl they should do tours
This is sooo cool and cute
The grandpa is so humble. And the grandma is so lively and cheerful. Such a lovely couple.
Now you can 3D print the whole place. Very nice btw
Thats amazing definitely a national treasure should be preserved forever
Absolutely talented people! I hope they charge admission. Love that their grands have their own play spaces.
So cool! Such a talent! Love it!
This Is truly a labor of Love. ❤️… I pray that your children will keep everything in tact after you’ll are gone, because it would be a shame to get rid of this wonderful place 😃
Wow. Amazing! They've stayed quite busy over the last few years.
I came here because it said something about being in Tennessee. I fell in love with the whole thing when I saw all those jars of marbles. I love marbles for some odd reason.
Omgoodness! I want to see this place! This is amazing!
Oh my god these two are adorable!! I’m so happy they’re doing all that they love later in life. ❤️
She should charge movie studios to film there. The details are unreal.
What a cool town! They did a fantastic job with everything. I was going to start to plan a trip there until I read that they don't do tours. I would love an even longer more in-depth video on everything!
Production companies should film there
❤ Amazing talent. Thank you for sharing. I wish you were my grandparents!
This is so cool !!! ❤
Absolutely Stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to live there!!!!!
