Hey! I am that chick from the coffee shop! 😂

I literally just said to myself ‘ I wanna watch some Dan Bell’. And here it is. Yay.

"This building is dedicated to the truckers of America." Wow, what an honor!

Watching from Manila, Philippines. Been a fan of you Dan Bell since 2015!

When I was a kid in the 90s my grandmother lived down the street from the truck-stop on what was Pumphrey's Farm. He was her landlord and she rented a cottage on his property. It was the CUTEST little cottage! She had it made up like a doll house in there. Mr. Pumphrey died from cancer and his widow and children did not want to take over the farm and sold the land to a housing developer. So grandma had to move. Broke her heart! The land now is completely unrecognizable with McMansions but was once fertile and quiet farmland. We miss it so!

This arcade is straight out of 1988. I love it!

The whole place is like a museum. The diner and arcade were brilliant from the perspective of someone who remembers the 80s. I liked the fact that Dan didn't want to shoot a pixilated deer but instead opted for shooting dozens of humans instead 😂

A store where the inventory is so old it’s now retro

Out of curiosity, I looked up the Doll Apartments on Apartment Guide, and they're absolutely as adorable as you're probably imagining.

I drive past some of these hotels all the time and have always wanted to do what you're doing and poke around but never had. Thanks for scratching a long standing itch for me!

The stories that those chairs could tell if they could talk

Lol Polyester! I still love the quote "Coitus Interruptus?!" when they find him in the motel.

I can't believe a guy approached you and ask if you need help. You must have looked like a mental patient to this guy, talking to and recording a deer statue

My favorite at the Doll Apt was the units with the original storm door and wooden door, from probably the 1960s. The brick definitely has been kept clean!

I feel like Bambi has seen some shit. 😂😂

Reminds me a little of DENNYS. These little places usually have the Best Food, I eat at Mom and Pop Restos quite a bit. Never disappointed and I like to support Small Business and Cottage Industy when ever I can. 😊

These places have some serious character.

Dan really is not joking when it comes to the inquisitive nature of Baltimoreans seeing someone filming something

Love your nostalgic videos of the motels that have withstood the changing times. Always a pleasure to watch.♥️

That's quite impressive that they still have the original seats.

Oh I’m so down for this tonight. Thanks Dan

Wow the Doll! Everyone backed in for a quick getaway

That arcade is incredible it hasn’t changed in 40 years I bet! Love this whole video. Thanks Dan.

pinball machines cost as much as used cars nowadays

Hell yeah Crabtowne! I’ve been driving past this restaurant on MD 100 and MD 3 for most of my life and have not once stepped foot inside. I gotta check that place out!!

1408...lol...a great movie about a guy spending the night in a haunted room... I'd love to see a night visit back to the White House Motel, room 1408 should you ever find the time Dan.. Thanks so much for sharing and I do hope everyone has a wonderful day or day night...

I remember back in the 80s they used to be two arcade games in the local pharmacy it was space Invaders and asteroids. I would spend hours in there on the weekend and weeknights playing those games. Good memories

I love the Honeymoon Sutie above the Office. That has serious Norman Bates vibes. They were definitely *listening* if not more...

Two heaping scoops of AWESOME.

loved the tiny motel, great locations & footage

The MOTEL at video marker " 8:48 " gives me that BATES MOTEL Vibe. Some of these little places are Cool. That Game Arcade looks Epic ! I miss PINBALL MACHINES !

@1:24 whenever I see those upholstered window benches that low-brow restaurants always have; I always think of Chief Wiggum, and Lou shooting the seat to deflate it, so Chief can get out.

That arcade was legit, it looks like whoever is maintaining those takes pride in their work.

Dan, the Doll motel is fantastic. Owner is absolutely amazing and has maintained the small family owned motel very well over the years. Thanks for a cool video on so many familiar places.

Yes. Makes my day so much better when I get that Dan Bell notification!!!!🎉❤❤

Yay! New Dan footage!!🫶

Love the 1970s sign💚Big arcade. When me and a friend worked at a motel we lived in the staff house like that..

1:10 I love Diners ❤

Dan Bell playing Operation Wolf in Crab Towne ( dont forget the E) is possibly the coolest thing ever, thank you awesome Sir, and try the sequel Operation Thunderbolt, it rocks as well. Nostalgia rules and so does DB!#!

We used to hang out in that truck stop restaurant all the time. My favorite part was the old smoking section and non-smoking section used to be separated by a sign, and the parties at White Gables were epic, and I love Crabtowne USA!

wow, I literally grew up in this area. Seeing these again is crazy

Only a few no tell motels left in city nearby us. A sketchy tiny trailer park was closed & torn down 25 years ago after a police stand off. Our company made us shelter in place until it was over. That was the last straw, and everybody got evicted.

That diner is a dream! Thanks for the great video Dan!

Thank you Dan !

Dan Bell: Big Buck Hunter

First time watching Dan, we enjoyed it very much from Salem, MA.

Sad to see the abandoned motel and house. Housing is so expensive I hate seeing places just wasting away like that. That last place was still fixable.

Dan you’re the man! Always love a new video from you! ❤

Keep this stuff coming. Can't get enough of this content.

Awesome Dan. Made my afternoon.

Oh yay! Love this channel ❤

Dan, my absolute favorite youtuber. Always look forward to watching you and your videos.

This was great. Thanks Dan. 💫

So cool to see that arcade still thriving! I was sort of watching this in the background but the moment you walked in and I heard a Dig Dug machine I was locked in lmao. Keep it up Dan

What?!?!! Someone just asked about my ADR Keychain today…. And now i see this! Many thanks for the work you do! Howdy from Galveston!!

The first truck stop is a classic oldy, the windows upstairs are sleeping rooms pre sleeper births in trucks, probably goes back to the 40s or earlier.

I want our truck stops back!

Dan I love all of your videos! Keep up the good work and keeo exploring!

Awesome video, these locations were great!

I love your drive along videos! Great content. Stay safe out there! ❤

love the film it content, Dan!!

all those early nintendo arcade cabs 😍

Great video Dan , love seeing the old motels sketchy motels in daylight ...that old diner and arcade was epic !!!

"AYE, YOU NEED SOME HELP??!??" then the abrupt cut 😭 You ok?

Great Dan . Very interesting. Thanks.

I absolutely love your videos!!! ❤❤

SO glad you are not eating soap anymore! LOL

This was like going back in time ❤ loved it!

That diner was cool! Cheers, Dan

OMG, from the first milisecond of the video I knew where you were. The truck stop and White Gables Motel are pretty much in my backyard!!!

That truck stop kinda reminds me of a place called Arlene's Cafe & General Store in Elkton, Oregon. It's a really cool place to stop at on the way to the coast.

That Doll Motel looks like something Charles Phoenix would find

"The Truck Stop Diner no longer selling diner food but Indian food". That explains why we didn't see any truckers there.

Thank you so much for all your work, especially the john waters spots bc i love him to pieces but would never feel safe going to Baltimore and seeing them myself alone

The Doll apartments are so so cute i want to live there toooo

Thank you Dan. :)

Thank you!

Dan, residence: Doll apartments. 😂😂 It works.

Hi Dan I really enjoyed your new video thank you for doing more videos and everything else you do hope you're well really big fan

I loved looking through the abandoned motel at the end. The terrifying stairway to the basement 😱

Looking forward to tomorrow's Saturday night stream, Hope you're doing great Dan !

The Doll Motel looked well kept for an older place. To bad your not still doing the you know what.

Love the vids!.

Ah, you're driving around the area I grew up!! So cool to see you around the area.

Such a great channel! Bingeing away

9:40 I pass EVERY DAY to and from work and always wondered what that it would be like to stay their for atleast 1 night. I don't think they ever have a room vacant. 11:35 It is a functioning self carwash, but what keeps that place open, I'll honestly never know. Its so run down looking. Plus, you can't really see it from the road, it's too "tucked away"/hidden. 12:19 I'm always afriad of driving into that parkint lot because I feel like I'll burst into tears, it really is a depressing looking motel. (12:44 that white van has been their for quite along time and has not moved at all!) 13:40 The upkeep of this place is phenomenal. Who ever the owner is, definitely loves the place and takes good care of it. To me, those apartments are the perfect size. (I'm really interested in the house there in the back left corner.)

funny about the doll hotel, is that ALL the cars BACKED INTO the parking spots. NO BODY DOES THAT!! SUSPICIOUS!!!!!

MUCH LOVE!

Dan your videos are so freaking impressive but I always feel like someone is gonna pop up and welllllll...scare you and us. I love these please do not stop!

I had to laugh when you walked into that room at the white motel. I think it was the room number 1408. Remind me of the trailer Park boys when they bought the motel. Jay Roc walks in there and said, it smells like a tuna melt with a side order a shit😂

That Doll motel and the apts look nice!

I was just thinking I need a new Dan Bell video!

This video was great

dude that was so cool.

All of this reminds me of south Richmond (301, used to be known as Jeff Davis hwy, but now known as Richmond hwy) there were lots of random motels and apartments just outside RVA but on the way into chesterfield. It’s been 20 years since I went down there. Your video made me wonder what it looks like now.

Omg, the infamous White Gables motel of John Waters “ Polyester” fame!!

More sketchy motels Dan! You need more sketchy motels.

flip flops in that shower

That arcade is fuk’n ACE! Love it!

wowwww loved this video and the old bando hotels thanks so much hey who asked u if u needed help
