RC is still the only cola that I drink. My grandfather sold it at his gas station in the 1970’s, and it was always available at home. I think it is better than all of the other brands.

TWO things I find DESPICABLE …. VANDALS …. And when people demolish homes of this era that are full of character that is not done today that ideally be saved for use by some new owner that would be capable of bringing it back to life ( financially speaking )

The metallic wallpaper in the foyer and upstairs was expensive as hell to get back in the early 80's. Pricing was kind of like getting your car wrapped nowadays.

I've hung more paper than I care to remember. Not only is that paper expensive (and inappropriate for that style of home) it's also a real bitch to hang. It bruises easily and telegraphs every imperfection underneath it. Takes longer to prep walls than to hang it...ugh!

It is terrible how people vandalized that beautiful home. Didn't the original owners have children, but if the owners were 93 years old any children or relatives would be in their 70's or 50's and probably moved far away. why didn't the house go for sale,or auction.

I do agree with people who say it's a shame to tear this house down. And I know it needs work. But it's work to tear it down, and that cost money. Maybe not as much as it would to completely restore the house. Anyway we live under capitalism and people who own a property can tear it down if that's what they want to do

When you came up from the basement and were stepping on all that broken glass from the mirror, I was kind of hoping you would have shown it because it would have been an awesome shot, kind of a POV view. I don't know, I think about stupid things like that. Great video though, I wish people would try and save these old homes instead of just tearing them down.

This is a fantastic home especially the original problem with all the stonework staircase leaded glass windows these homes are built like a fortress I disagree with you about some of them need to be torn down you should definitely talk to the person that find a house and not have this house torn down it's a part of History you should convince them not to tear this house down and talk to the city or Village and have it restored. It's pretty sad when people are going to tear a house down to put a driveway in... this is a part that makes me sad that people and I decide to have no value you no concept of what they have and what it's really worth. But great video glad you got depressed machine out of there

When people get old, they stop caring about their property. My grandparents were the same way. Old carpeting that needed to be replaced was not. Basic maintenance was not performed. I did the best that I could but it wasn't enough.

RC Cola & Coca-Cola were invented where I live in Columbus, Georgia. Lemme go ahead & get this outta the way because I know people are gonna say Coca-Cola was invented in Atlanta, no it was not. Shortly after Pemberton invented it in Columbus he moved to Atlanta. Which is why The World of Coca-Cola museum & their official H.Q. is in ATL
