You’re awesome for clicking! It means so much. Appreciate it. instagram.com/tampajay
Good video keep it up ❤
Can't stop watching. Great, up close and personal. Fun to see the ...little usually missed things. Jay... you're doing a good job!
Oh Jay...that church was so beautiful! It's a shame we couldn't see inside it.
Thank you for sharing it. 🤗
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. These are always some of my favorites to watch. From Jackie Robinson’s home, to little Noah’s Ark, to that beautiful Coke mural, this was wonderful to experience!
Thanks Jay for this series of videos. You have been the inspiration for several off the beaten path day trips for my husband and I. Keep finding these locations!
This is a really nice part of Georgia and i love the rural countryside
and seeing the old houses and other interesting places thanks.
🇺🇲👋🇺🇲
Welcome to my home state Georgia
As well welcome to my home state too 😊
Thomasville seems like a pretty chill town. Clean, quiet, and beautiful countryside. I enjoy your presentation in these videos. Keep 'em coming.
Love this video tampa jay ❤.
Such a terrific video Tampa Jay! Your roadside videos are the BEST !This is such a Beautiful part of Georgia....thanks for taking us along! 💞😊
Thanks Tampa Jay for this Awesome video series of the Big Bend/S. Georgia area and I hope you enjoyed your visit up here. I've lived up here for over 40 years and learned some things I never knew. The Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee being the first one in Florida, Jackie Robinson's birthplace, the little Noah's Ark at Pebble Hill Plantation is amazing. The town Cairo is pronounced Cay-ro like the syrup. In fact the high school mascot is the Syrup Makers. I love all the historic places in Thomasville which is The Rose City🌹The Victorian Christmas 🎄 they have is something special. People are encouraged to dress in Victorian era clothing. An old fashioned Christmas celebration. You and Cris need to come back up here then.
LOVED THE VLOG……DODGERS WERE MY FAVORITE GROWING UP! I babysat many of their kids,,,,,GREAT SAFE TIMES! 🙏🏽❤️🌴
Great show Jay! You and Chris are the coolest couple! Watch you kids every day! Keep up the good work. Me and my friends will be watching!
That pump house with the smokestack! So cool!
Thanks awesome places I enjoyed another awesome video
Kay-ro and Oh-clock-knee. Loved this video of my little home. Thanks.
I love the exploring you do. This was a very educational and fun video. Thanks.
That's Beachton not Cairo. His dad had left them and his mom borrowed a wagon and the family left that house and went to Cairo to catch the number 6 train at midnight to california where his aunt lived. In those days blacks couldn't ride the trains in Georgia during the daytime hours so they had to wait a while for the 6th and last train out that day...Jackie's daughter had never been there to see his birthplace until a few years ago. she cried at that site.
Great vid! Every place has its own story very cool ➡️
Tampa Jay: "Glad it's being preserved".
Nature Taking Over: "Come again?"
I am going to Pebble Hill next weekend, then to Liam's in Thomasville for lunch. Glad you enjoyed North FL and South Georgia.
Second !❤
You’re awesome
Jay is the New Woo - Great work
Love your vidoes!
I have a condition that keeps me housebound. Videos of yours are such great escapes.
Thanks!
First!❤️
Always in my heart ❤
Glad you enjoyed coming to our neck of the woods. Cairo around here isn't pronounced liked Cairo Egypt, it's pronounced Kayro like the syrup. The empty restaurant in Thomasville use to be a Three squares Diner.
Very enjoyable video, Jay.
Thank you
The old diner you pulled into on you first stop was in fact an old Walffle House. I have lived in Grady County which is west of Thomasville in Cairo, Ga. for 62 years now. Somethings you showed like Noah's Ark. I never knew existed until you showed it in your video. I subbed and will tell people to watch your channel. Thanks for stopping in Grady county ! What an enjoyable video.
Been watching your channel for a while never miss one. Welcome to my hometown of Thomasville. Born, raised and still live here. GREAT Vlog.
I’m so honored. Your town is absolutely beautiful. I appreciate you watching it so cool you live there! Thank you Brenda
You were literally down the road from me when you were at the church! I wish I had known, I could have fangirled out lol. My husband has pics of that church back when it was in new looking condition. It was beautiful!
If you come back to the area, come during spooky season and go to spook bridge in Quitman. There was a horror movie done about it. I bet you would pick up ghosts there!
Also FYI it's K-row lol you were saying Cario wrong.
I’ve never seen the place I live romanticized like this, it’s pretty cool.
Funny story again jay I was born in Cairo ga. I’m telling you you’re right in my old stomping grounds you’re really getting me motivated to do a north Florida channel!!!
That restaurant was called 4 squares diner
33:00 church bells were really haunting. I love it. Nice video. I never went up there when I lived in Florida so all new to me .
Thanks William. Felt good to explore an area I’ve never been before. Really beautiful towns
Definitely in a Georgia state of mind after watching this video. Historic attractions including the birthplace of Jackie Robinson. Always thought it a shame that Larry Doby, who was the first American League player to break the color barrier with the Cleveland Indians does not receive quite the same level of recognition. Larry experienced everything that Jackie did. The only difference is that his debut was three months later.
Always enjoy watching your video Tampa Jay from Michelle over here in Nottingham in England 🇬🇧 😀 👍 🙌 😎 😊😅😂❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Michelle. I appreciate you. Hope you’re having a fantastic evening.
Thanks for sharing some familiar places to me. When my son went to FSU in the early 2000's I would go up to visit him and he would drive us to Moultrie in Colquitt County, Georgia to visit relatives. We would pass through Thomasville. One day you need to take some extra time to go to Moultrie. They have the most beautiful courthouse I have ever seen. Besides visiting relatives, I often went to the Ellen Payne Odom Genealogy Library, adjacent to the main library. Since you are so interested in your family history you might find something to research there. They also have a Historical Museum there and several historical homes, and a cool old jail building. The downtown square has lots of active businesses and if you go you have to eat at Three Crazy Bakers. Everything is homemade and super delicious! I hope you get to stop in Colquitt County one day.
Hey Jay!!
Thomasville is very beautiful and historic. Would love to check it out in person one day.
Thank you for taking us along on this journey.
Hugs 🤗, and safe travels 🙏
If you ever have the chance to visit, the Victorian Christmas is so cool! Everyone dresses up in Victorian age clothes and walks downtown. It's a pretty big event.
Hi, Jay!! Thanks for another roadside adventure! ❤
Thanks Jay for another great adventure. I love the old churches as well. There is always variety and something new to see with you :) Keep up the great work... it is appreciated
Thanks for all you do! ❤
Thank you for being here appreciate you
I subscribed to your channel recently and have really enjoyed it. You covered Williston and Archer Florida very near my home in Alachua. I grew up in South Georgia around where you covered with this video. I lived in Tallahassee for a time. When you covered the back side of the capital building you were close to the education building. That was where i lived but at the time it was a college student slum. Keep up the good work, there is much ahead.
We have a Live oak in Long Beach Mississippi at the University of Southern Miss. It is called the Friendship Oak and it is over 500 years old and massive. It has survived all the major hurricanes.
That’s amazing. I would love to see that.
Hey Jay, when you said you were going to the birth place of an American legend I thought, I don’t remember being born in Georgia😃. Another great video my friend.
Doc Holiday, allegedly you’re buried in Georgia! Thanks for watching
Hiya Jay in Tampa watching your vids, this one was great. furthest into Georgia Ive gone was Macon
Thanks my friend. Macon is pretty far in
👋Jay, the back of that church looked like an old morgue/funeral home. When you showed inside the window, a pamphlet said, "In Memory." 😮
Gail here ! The town is called Krow even though it is spelled Cairo. Just one of our Georgia things !
I had to come comment here and correct him about saying Cario wrong 😂. My husband and I both were screaming at the TV K-ROW! 😂
There’s a huge oak tree near downtown Orlando that I’ve been too it’s called big tree park and they say it around 500 years old
Need to visit Jackie’s ballpark in Daytona
It’s a great venue with lots of history
My late Grandmother lives in St. Marys, Georgia, which is kind of funny currently I live in St. Mary’s Maryland 🤣🤣
Interesting.
I’ve been to Thomasville Georgia before I stayed at the Hampton inn there
Jay, amazing vlog my friend.
Thomasville lucky to still have that tree, because Micanopy Florida decided to cut their oldest tree down, due to ii think because of it was dying from tree funguses. town got together with city commission and they finally agreed to bring it down and end the suffering. I'm not quite sure i'll GOOGLE that, but yeah a real shame. it was around the same age, and was around during the Seminole Indian wars.
I love Georgia but if you want to see something really pretty visit the North Georgia mountains in the springtime when all the new growth is coming out. Also, Griffin Georgia has some interesting things to see including their cemeteries. One being an old Confederate cemetery.
I’ve been to North Georgia in the spring time. I really enjoyed that weather and area :-)
The sign at the abandoned restaurant looks to be a Tastee Freeze.
Whoaaaa to the BIG OAK 💚
Great trip! If you ever get up near flat rock NC you could make an entire video on the Carl Sandburg estate it’s really cool
I my be wrong but the abandoned restaurant looks like a old White Castle
How different his life would have been if they hadn't have left that beautiful place.
That was a Huddle house at first and then a local chain all 3 squared diner.
Tampa Jay when you were in Thomas county in Georgia you came up to the memorial of Captain John Triplett. That compass and square design that you see on that memorial with the G in the center of it that shows that he was a Mason. So when you see that symbol you'll recognize that they are being honored as being a Mason.
So ya went North instead of South did ya TJ? I'm looking forward to checking this out
I sure did Mike thanks for watching man
Beautiful historic homes! Why don't you make sure these museums are open before you come. 🤔

Have you gone to the Georgia grand canyon in Lumpkin?
I'd just about guarantee that sign that looked like a face was one of a happy pig and that the restaurant was a BBQ joint. I've always wondered why the pigs on BBQ restaurant signs and menus were so happy...they're getting cooked and all...
No flamingos on the ark? C'mon
Right?
Gas money. Thanks!
BEAUTIFUL AREA. I would have opened the church door and try to lock. it's so hidden only homeless, or illegals will live in it. thanks
