    Thank you for doing such a good job when you're in Hannibal. I grew up there and lived there between 1966 and 1977. I personally am proud of how you treat our city, thank you for all your kind words. We love you brother.

    Justin!!! If you’re still in Hannibal, you HAVE to go to the museum that is the birthplace of the Unsinkable Molly Brown who was on the Titanic! The house is still there and open as a museum! It’s only 3 minutes from the MT Boyhood Home. Amazing story, and you should also stop by the Molly Brown House Museum in Denver sometime too!!!!

    I have been to Hannibal just one time over a decade ago. It was quite a ghost town during my visit. The river was flooded as well. I too had thought of moving there back then though. Nice to see some new stuff while it keeps it's charm.

  • @nv4699
    @nv4699 2 роки тому

    I laughed when you said that you didn't have to go on the ghost tour yay. LOL I guess in a way you were a temporary resident of Hannibal, Missouri. It's like you're in one of those movies where you're in the town that you're meant to live in and maybe that's a sign. It's kind of like groundhog day isn't it? Now you just got to get your fiance and your fur babies and find yourself a new home there. And you certainly know what company you'd like to join with remodeling those houses.

    I always thought that the boards were horizontal on the Tom's fence so even when I was a kid I thought all the photos, movies and illustrations were wrong. There is a phrase in art, "The artist is always suspect," but that goes, not only for illustrations and paintings, but for any recreation.
