That store with Lucille Ball and all the old time gum and candy was a walk down memory lane for us older folks. Was very nice! You two please stay safe.
Thank you Dawn and Will for the look see on the first Saturday of being partly opened. There were more people than I expected. Be safe and keep having fun for yourselves and us!
Hi Will and Dawn , I enjoyed your day in Gatlinburg, such a beautiful day to be out . The camera you use is amazing, love seeing all the beautiful flowers . Looks like the place is becoming back alive and to see you guys being safe with your masks. Thanks for taking us along. Have a blessed one.
So awesome glad you guys are there missed you all and the videos thank you And thanks to everyone wishing is in the medical field best wishes I am an RN thank you
I enjoy your videos, I am glad you were both wearing masks. Let me just say that I work in Gatlinburg, and I am highly upset that people are flocking to our town and not taking precautions. It is scary for workers going to work everyday, and risk their lives because people are so careless. Wear masks if your coming to Gatlinburg people!
I love the way you Zoomed in on the Flowers I'm planting flowers next weekend in Mother's Day that's when we always plant The water sounds so Clear Your camera really catches the Beauty of everything you video .
Beautiful sky and views of the mountains! I am so happy that Gatlinburg seems to be healing! I am happy to see the safeguards in place in so many businesses. Please stay safe and we hope to be up there soon! We are booked for the forth, but we want to come earlier than that! 😎👍Be blessed!
thanks for another great show you picked a nice day to do the video you took me to stores i have never been in luv looking at gatlinburg thru your camera b safe b sweet
We enjoyed mountain mall when we visited in November. I started watching your videos when I was planning our fall trip but I still watch and enjoy. I was one of the luck ones and got 200.00 from my insurance company.
Thanks for this! Living up here in closed up WI it’s so reassuring to see normalcy. The cure appears to be worse than the disease in some parts of the country. Glad to see some parts understanding that people’s financial and psychological well being are important too!
Thanks for the video. It confirms my feeling that I should not go near Gatlinburg for quite awhile. Too soon for so many people to be walking around close to each other and with no masks on. Glad you are taking precautions!
🚶♀️🚶♂️ Thanks for the nice walk through Gatlinburg, it was very nice. 🚶♀️🚶♂️ Stay safe and God bless you both. 🚶♀️🚶♂️ Love always Mrs. Dell 🚶♀️🚶♂️
Appreciate the update!! I will be arriving in Gatlinburg on the 19th, and will be there for 4 nights. If the GSMNP is too crowded, then I will still use Gatlinburg as a base to visit less crowded (hopefully) options.
Wonderful video like always. Nice to see some people out and about. Makes me hopeful that we will return to a sense of normalcy soon. You guys stay safe and have fun. Still holding out hope for our trip end of July early August.
You made a comment about people driving. I have been working through the whole shutdown. Where I live in Indiana, people have been using the interstates as drag strips with the lighter traffic. My favorite reason to head out 321 is the big Food City supermarket. We never have to pack cookout supplies. We just pick everything up in town.
Cant believe we missed our trip to pigeon forge. Hopefully next time. Loved this vlog. Excellent quality as always but what camera do you use? Sure you have bought a new one
I'm so shocked that it looks like a normal day! There is no mask wearing or social distancing happening? Does everyone now think they are immune? So glad you are being sensible and keeping your distance and wearing a mask. Here in UK we are on strict lockdown and no plans yet to lift it. France just extended their lockdown for another 2 months.
So sorry for France! It breaks my heart. We now have the antibody studies giving us better information. Now they know that people like me had it without knowing it, and have antibodies. With those studies it brought the death toll way down. States here are adjusting accordingly. It's good news!
Locking down a country does nothing to strengthen the immune system. In fact; it weakens the immune system, making you more susceptible to viruses. The masks are useless. They provide a psychological cushion which allows people to think they are "protected". The lockdowns are exercises in tyranny and have nothing to do with 'saving lives'. When does it end? When the government or the medical "experts" like Niall Ferguson (LOL) tell you that they can guarantee you a risk-free existence? That is scientifically impossible. The government cheques cannot continue indefinitely and a 'vaccine' is not guaranteed to be created nor is it guaranteed to be effective (like the 40% effective flu "vaccine") I wish you the best.
TheMagickhands You are an idiot. They actually are doing Elisa and other antibody testing. You appear to be the ignorant one here. Stanford epidemiologists have been reporting their data suggest a 10-40x exposure to positive ratio. Guessing a degree from Stanford is better than anything you have in your resume
We went to Parrot Mountain today and it was open. The employees were wearing masks and they had reminders everywhere about maintaining distance but I don't recall anyone else wearing masks. The birds weren't wearing theirs.
I’d wear a mask..very happy to see your wearing a mask. I work with covid patients...look at Dr John Campbell’s daily reports on covid...its not over yet ..not even close...please continue to wear masks around others and social distance...and enjoy being outside no problem just continue to use the tools to stay safe and healthy. Really enjoy you two. Thanks for all your videos
I'm glad your buissness are starting to open that's great news I cant wait till places here in Tucson arizona start opening so I can go out to eat somewhere I'll be so happy to get something to eat like Chinese or something else I'll be glad for things to get back to normal so i can go back to work and make some money also proud of you guys for wearing masks still
We Love your videos and very glad you are taking precautions not to get this virus. Unfortunately I see others there are not taking this serious, and it makes me wonder how many of them will be here 2 weeks from now. Stay safe and be well, my Wife and I have had two friends and our Son with this, and by the way, our Son is your age Will.
Some of the people out there have already had it, and developed antibodies, like my husband and I. We will wear a mask in stores if if makes others comfortable, but we are immune since we had it in early March. Most people aren't counted because they didn't get tested. Just because they aren't wearing a mask doesn't mean they are dangerous. 😉
@@kricketjoy wearing a mask would show respect to others and that you have a positive attitude towards their safety and their families. Weather you had it or not doesn't count when someone says " They aren't wearing a mask, why should I " A statement I have heard many times.
Is anyone as concerned as I am that people are not taking this deadly virus serious? I know we ALL want things to be normal again. We all want to be back in the mountains ...but...just because things are opening up doesn’t mean the danger is gone. Please stay safe. Thank you for the reporting. You guys do a great job of letting us have a virtual visit.
I hope the hotels have retrained housekeepers . Every time i have stayed in Gatlinburg or Pigeonforge I have had issues with rooms not being very clean
I always ask if I can see the room first. And if the response is no .I just move on because they probably have something to hide.and take I black light with you to check the mattresses and linen for nasty stains now more than ever.
Question, will stores in Gatlinburg accept small travel scooters in their stores? I am not able to walk very far anymore and in your video I did not see anyone riding a mobility scooter. Now, I can walk some but am limited. Thank you for your reply regarding folks that would like to come but have limited disabilities. Enjoyed your vid. Just happened upon it.
Great job on the update!! I am disappointed more people were not wearing masks. If you are not local to the area you should have some respect and do everything to protect those around you by adhering to the recommendations to prevent spreading. At first I thought it was great they were opening things back up but seeing some of the behavior on here has me worried (for the people of Gatlinburg)
New recommendations are not to wear masks outdoors. The sun kills the virus, and the shear amount of fresh air makes it more healthy and safe to breathe without one outdoors.
Wearing a mask will not strengthen your immune system, nor will it help you fight any virus (there are thousands with which we come into contact daily). I respect one's decision to wear a mask if they feel "safer" doing so, but it is just a psychological cushion. A strong immune system is far superior to a mask. If you are in a vulnerable population, by all means, be cautious or stay home, but the other 99.5% of us should be allowed to live our lives without being compelled to wear masks everywhere, especially outdoors.
Just watched your vlog and I cant believe they just opened up the town and not one person i saw walking had a mask on. Wow and then everyone will wonder if it spreads again why. Hope it dont but will see. Only smart people in the video that I saw is you two. Thumbs up to you guys 👍 stay safe
I am glad to see refreshed and smiling faces, not caught up in all of the fear. Enjoy and love the people around you today. Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone.
Great area but I would live in Sevierville. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are very crowded because of tourists. You’re away from most of that in Sevierville.
Hello Will and Dawn! Really enjoyed your video! Noticed you were the only ones with masks on. Does that place that sells the old signs have a Facebook page? Love the Pepsi and Cocoa Cola signs!
How bust has Gatlinburg got since this video? I assume you were correct and it has only gotten worse. I have been there before when it is a lot more busy than what this video shows, but for only the second day of being opened that was a lot of people!
It looks absolutely beautiful there, I did notice that not many people were wearing masks. I think that a lot of people are going to act like everything is back to “normal”. I just hope that mr mcnasty doesn’t rebound and continue to spread
That’s the thing. The virus is still spreading. The number of cases keeps going up. I agree that the economy needs to get back on track, but we’re asking for trouble.
Why did they do away with the McDonald's restaurant? I used to eat there every time I went to Gatlinburg. I sure will miss Mickey D's when I go back to Gatlinburg.
That store with Lucille Ball and all the old time gum and candy was a walk down memory lane for us older folks. Was very nice! You two please stay safe.

It sure is nice to see Gatlinburg buzzing with people again such lovely flowers. Thanks for sharing this video. 💖

Love your vids Will and Dawn!! Im sooo excited for this
We love your videos of Gatlinburg.
Especially the Parkway.
Thanks.
Nice to see Beauregard back out in action looks beautiful down there thanks for what you do and keeping us updated
Thank you for this! Was wondering how things were. I am planning on going within a month-2 months
Thanks for this! Living up here in closed up WI it’s so reassuring to see normalcy. The cure appears to be worse than the disease in some parts of the country. Glad to see some parts understanding that people’s financial and psychological well being are important too!
Thanks for the video. It confirms my feeling that I should not go near Gatlinburg for quite awhile. Too soon for so many people to be walking around close to each other and with no masks on. Glad you are taking precautions!
Great video 😃 Thanks for keeping us informed. I’m looking forward to being there soon.

Can’t wait! Visiting on Monday-Wednesday from Cincinnati, Ohio. Definitely need it. 😊
Glad to see things opening back up. We decided to move our vacation to September to be on the safe side.
I was just there yesterday (5/8/2020) the only thing open is a few restaurants and clothing stores.
Appreciate the update!! I will be arriving in Gatlinburg on the 19th, and will be there for 4 nights. If the GSMNP is too crowded, then I will still use Gatlinburg as a base to visit less crowded (hopefully) options.
So ready to get back down..thanks for the video guys..i sure miss it all👍😀
Beautiful day for a video....good to see that you are staying safe ❤
Wonderful video like always. Nice to see some people out and about. Makes me hopeful that we will return to a sense of normalcy soon. You guys stay safe and have fun. Still holding out hope for our trip end of July early August.
I loved all those coffee mugs. Love The I Love Lucy, Elvis and The Beatles.
Back in the 70,s 441 was so packed one Sunday it took me 4hrs. to go from Cherokee to Gatlinburg.
Looked for y’all in Gatlinburg after seeing your jeep parked on River rd today
You made a comment about people driving. I have been working through the whole shutdown. Where I live in Indiana, people have been using the interstates as drag strips with the lighter traffic.
My favorite reason to head out 321 is the big Food City supermarket. We never have to pack cookout supplies. We just pick everything up in town.
Glad its back open for you guys. Hope everyone is still practicing safe distancing
I'll be there second week in October. Can't wait! 🤗🤗🤗🤗. Stay safe everyone! 😷🙏
Cant believe we missed our trip to pigeon forge. Hopefully next time. Loved this vlog. Excellent quality as always but what camera do you use? Sure you have bought a new one
Does my heart good to see G-Burg start to open up. But I super surprised at the lack of people wearing mask or face coverings!
Great to hear your open. We hope to visit in the near future. Love the smokies.
Wow! I love Gatlinburg so much but I can't believe how people are not wearing masks out there. Please keep safe!
Stay safe guys. Great videos as always. Love you guys.

A good chance thanks Jewett

Can't wait till June 9th when I will be up there.

Heading down with the brood May 30th from West Central Indiana. We have not been down since our honeymoon and before kids (many moons ago)
Will any new update on how Gatlinburg is going today?
Its looking good almost normal thanks Steve

By the way how much is it to live there looks like a nice place to live
Great area but I would live in Sevierville. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are very crowded because of tourists. You’re away from most of that in Sevierville.
The rangers say that most places will be open by May 23rd 2020
Does Tennessee have guidelines or recommendations regarding wearing masks when out and about?
Sure doesn't look like it smh
Mark Sievert Gov. Lee has stated they are highly recommended but not required
Thanks for wearing your mask. To close for comfort. Alot of places here in Florida choose to stay closed till they see if we have a spike.
Are there hotels open ? I would need a hotel
Yes most of the hotels and open
I love how you are the only two wearing masks , not one other person has one on .
Great video always enjoy watching your video have a great weekend stay safe
Hello Will and Dawn! Really enjoyed your video! Noticed you were the only ones with masks on. Does that place that sells the old signs have a Facebook page? Love the Pepsi and Cocoa Cola signs!
Do they not have benches for people to sit down on for those who want to take a break.
Yes they do.

I was supposed to be there 4/24 till 5/3 but I'll till later this year
There will be an upsurge of CV imported to east Tennessee
It looks absolutely beautiful there, I did notice that not many people were wearing masks. I think that a lot of people are going to act like everything is back to “normal”. I just hope that mr mcnasty doesn’t rebound and continue to spread
That’s the thing. The virus is still spreading. The number of cases keeps going up. I agree that the economy needs to get back on track, but we’re asking for trouble.
