Hi Tampa Jay! 👋 I recently discovered your channel ~ LOVE it! I've passed that 1/2 dinasaur many times and always wondered what the story is about it. Thanks for the enlightenment on this landmark. 🤝

8:10, Love the Mel Brooks reference! 😆 #historyoftheworldpart1
Glad you caught that Brooksville :)
that was amusing, used to live in Bville for about 6 yrs, still looks the same as it did and proly will 10 yrs later.
If you ever get a chance to visit the May-Stringer house inside, do it!! was in it a decade ago, it was beautiful inside, and a little spooky around the stairs. thank you for showing some of Brooksville i haven't seen yet! i remember there being a Big Boy restaurant in South Pasadena about 30 years ago. glad you made it Sunken Gardens.
I’m planning on going inside I think I might rent the entire house out for a night :-)
Cool vlog Jay! I liked your Ziggy reference there. LOL Hey as long as it is not Gushi with the bad breath! LOL
Haha glad you caught that. My all time favorite show
@@TampaJay Mine Too! To put right what once went wrong. Lol

Happy to hear your living voraciously thru me. I hope you get to check out some of this yourself soon. Thanks for watching my friend
I want your shirt! Loved this. I've lived here for 2 years and happy to see places I haven't seen yet. Thank you
Thank you Christy! I’m happy you found the video and glad I could bring back some memories for you :)
8:08 Your History of the World Part 1 reference made me laugh, thank you. Mel Brooks/Brooksville...coincidence?
Great video. I ended up going to these spots yesterday for my birthday. I wanted to do something different and fun. and, something I haven't done before. This turned out to be a good day. It drizzled a little but that actually made it a little spooky/fun for my birthday. Anyway thanks for taking and recording these roadside attraction videos. I hope to see more.
Happy Birthday Nicole! I’m happy to hear you enjoyed your time. Did you climb up in the Dino??
@@TampaJay Thank you. The only thing we didn't do was the dino. We couldn't find it. We did walk around the May Stringer house. I got a few creepy photos of something. I guess that place is haunted? The pics I got were strange.
Great video 👏 awesome to see you do close to my house 👍
Thank you so much
Tom Petty sang about "441"
Love the roadside attractions series Jay! Take care brother ✌
American Girl "On 441, like waves crashing on the beach" allegedly about a girl who committed suicide from a dorm at UF......... RIP the man from Gainesville.
Thank you for the correction I think I’ve had Tom saying “old 41” in my mind for awhile now. I looked up the lyrics just a moment ago. I even listened to American Girl in my car as I was creating this video and still heard “old” this just means I need to get my ears checked I guess haha . I hear “441” clear as day now though. I’m glad you enjoyed the video thank you so much man
@@TampaJay Come on Jay.... This is ole B Caldwell you're talking to here brother...... Your videos lately have been top notch 👍 Much love and looking forward to much ahead man....✌
Great video Jay, I always enjoy seeing these off the path places in Florida, thanks for your wonderful videos and for all that you do.
Thank you so much buddy
This dinosaur is an amazing attraction on the old US 476 in Hernando County. I first saw it in 1976 and met the family of the gentleman who constructed it. There were other dinosaur full-scale models as well that were constructed. We did locate the stegosaurus, and it is privately owned elsewhere in Hernando County on private property. I would love to see the neck and head placed on it and then restored making it one of our counties most unique features. We actually have 3 full-scale dinosaurs as roadside attractions here in HernandoCounty. If you know the other two and where they are, please comment!❤
Broken neck, broken back, and then he suffered a heart attack? Well that's tragic. I didn't know a fake dinosaur could have such a tragic story
Interesting video. And I think of coney dogs as mostly a Detroit thing so to see them in Florida surprised me.
I was surprised myself. I grew up in East central Indiana - we also had Coney Dogs thanks for watching
I love your roadside attraction videos, a lot of neat finds! I love that big old house with the curtains. You sure found a lot of mermaids! That’s a nice little town, thanks for the video!
I’m enjoying these videos Jay. It’s amazing how many abandoned places and road side attractions you have over there. 🙂👍
Thanks buddy
I’ve been curious about Coney Island Drive in...now I have to go, lots of photo ops there. The mermaids downtown are part of a fairly new activity in Brooksville, The Florida Mermaid Trail. They have a facebook page and website. It’s a walking trail/tour 😁. What a bizarre thing about the headless dinosaur; you’d think by now that someone would have finished it. Kind of sad that no one did. The May-Stringer house has a great history, be sure to check it out. They also go live on facebook fairly often when there’s good paranormal activity. I’m not certain I believe in all of that but it’s still fun. It was also on my list of things to see but was derailed by the pandemic 😳. Sooner or later it’ll happen. Thanks for the tour & take care 😎🧜🏼♀️
Thank you Sally I look forward to going back to the May stringer house. Maybe I’ll go during Halloween season. Thank you so much for watching :-)
Tampa Jay oh yeah they have a LOT of stuff going on during the Halloween season 👻🎃👹
I use to live in those apts
"Dead of Night" Bob Clark
And Henderson Forsythe
I knew you were going to climb in that thing, one way or the other 😂 Brooksville is a nice little town.👍💕😊
Haha If there’s a will there’s a way
awesome video but come on bro you just made got hungry lol
GeorgeTV THE-FAM thank you buddy
Thanks for visit my hometown. If U walk around Brooksville U can find many other mermaids hiding around. It’s called the mermaid walk. Glad u could hang out for a bit
Thanks man I like your town I’m glad you caught the video. The mermaid thing is very cool!
What was the abandoned apartment? Complex
I’ve lived in Fla all my life and never heard of Brooksville. 😳
this was really fun TJ !!! the history of the unfinished dinosaur was fantastic !!!! thanks so much :-)
Thank you buddy
👍🏻
"Watching to see if the curtains move" Lol..., too funny! Actually I thought I saw them move for a second there too! Very interesting little glimpse of old time Americana there and love to see those old PU trucks. That turquoise one at the end is my kinda cruiser!
Oh wow Tampa Jay that is so wild that you got to climb into that dinosaur, I would love to have done it too❤️
Peaches Grace thank you Grace it was fun
@@TampaJay Been watching ,just not commenting as much , loved My Cousin Vinnie vlog , it was great!
Peaches Grace Thank you Grace I always appreciate you watching even if you don’t comment, I appreciate you breaking the silence :-) that was a fun one to make
@@TampaJay I have actually been to that town at some point when I lived in Georgia, Jasper has such a beautiful courthouse, hope you have a great weekend! 👍👍
I loved this? Fr ac train town! Erie Horne lol l n
Y luv scary sherry
first was a sad story, man! Cool inside tho. Love the abandoned. Dope murals! movin curtains :-D omg I LOVE those old chevy trucks and Americana !! Interesting vid, TG!
Thank you buddy
He was a good man. There were 2 dinasaurs out there in the 70's one was smaller. I heard one was sold and moved.
Good video Jay. Do they still have that statue of the Confederate soldier at the courthouse? There was controversy to have it removed. Those buildings look like an abandoned housing project. There articles about that too. Livery pronounced with a short i. That turquoise Chevy at the end was beautiful. I think my dad had one. Also, Brooksville country club was built around an old quarry, and 4 of the holes go into the quarry.
I had a great time, Jay! Thank you. I caught the following movie references: room 237, and these 15...these 10 commandments. Did I miss any?
I lost count I say a lot in this one I quoted the goonies twice and dumb and dumber twice also. Even did a television show reference. Glad you caught the history of the world part 1 one though lol thank you buddy
Interesting vid. I should visit Brooksville, don't know why I haven't. You could down three hotdogs one sitting? Iron stomach. 🌭🌭🌭
Haha skipper breakfast and dinner yesterday. Thank you for watching:
My dad Bill Swan made the Big Boy and several other iconic fiberglass statues like the Ford Mustang horse which is what the emblem was copied from he made several iconic fiberglass statues which are in a short Amazon ebook for only 14.99 called "The man behind the mufflerman ".
Doyathinkhesaurus? 😂 the inside was RAD
🤣🤣🤣 🦕
Is Lonnie colburn flea market still there Colonel colburn
I'm not looking if the curtains move 😂😂😂
Haha sorry to spooky you 👻
Do you know the history behind the abandoned neighborhood? It would be a great spot to renovate for people who can’t afford larger homes.
Is there still place I believe it was in Tampa it was called yesterday's air Force are they still around
Also , MLB pitcher and 2004 Boston Red Sox MVP Bronson Arroyo grew up and graduated from here. Another fun fact: The man who is the voice of "Spaceghost" from cartoon network is also from here.
Ahh yes nationwide George Lowe met him a few times - didn’t know about Arroyo tho. Thanks for sharing and watching man
@@TampaJay right on. Thanks interesting channel.
I hope it stays just the way it's always been . no progress needed .
Nice to see the Bottle of Spray Disenfectant/Cleaner next to the TV. But, Just because Florida has "Re-opened" Does NOT Mean, Covid-19 is Gone! Where is your Mask Jay or for that matter anyone else's? Just curious! Also, why are those people eating at those indoor tables? Love Your Alice Cooper Shirt Too! I saw three of his shows over that tour! :)
Did you know Brooksville had an air base there during world war II and did you know did there used to be a lake I don't know if it's still there but there used to be a lake that was in a shape of a horse in Brooksville
There is a place in wildwood fl by the same name that sells hot dogs
Did it feel Squishy in the belly of the beast? That's how I'd imagine it.....Lol
it did actually ha ha thank you so much
Is weeki wachee still open
It's now a state park that is well cared for
Is the likes cattle company still there
Lol cool video just bought a place doen there cant wait to get down there from shitty ohio thanks be safe
Where's the Headless Sword man ?!!!!
Who’s that guy? He sounds cool
@@TampaJay A mythical headless horseman in folklore from the Middle Ages. Rode around on horseback in the dead of the night, scary stuff !! It was made into a movie, Google it.
Half a Dinosaur...
