Thank you for watching! instagram.com/tampajay

Hi Jay, the 2 valves at 31:35 are controls for the lift the truck is on and the other one on the ground. Much Ahead! .....Jim

Old Florida is the best

Really enjoy all of your vlogs, but the Old Florida ones are my favorites. Thanks. 👍

That's the real Florida. Everyone always thinks the Beach. Thanks, TJ, for the tour

That's how my town is. City Hall, Police dept, and Fire dept in 1 building. Pickens, South Carolina. Cool sites to explore close to me. Table Rock state park, Caesar's Head state park, Haygood Grist Mill, lots of waterfalls, lakes, rivers, creeks, caves, etc.. I love where I live. ❤ Can you tell? 😊

I am always amazed with old structures not being torn down. Be careful. Don't wanna get hurt out there. So cool seeing yesterday's world. I had a friend's grandmother who was 97 and told my friend and I stories. She showed us pictures of the town in 1920's so cool!!!!

I remember "Hills Is Where The Toys Are!" 🧸 & the front of the stores smelled like fresh buttered 🧈 popcorn 🍿 😋 & hotdogs 🌭 😋! I come from Pennsylvania so I knew exactly what you're talking about! Hills Dept Store!

Old/converted gas stations are my favorite roadside places. The car wash/laundromat at 10:05 looks like a former Phillips 66.

Another great video! I moved up to putnam county from sarasota back in 04. I travel all over the county servicing ac systems and i see every location in this video daily and have done work at several buildings including the Sprague house. There is a lot of civil war history in that area. And that old dodge truck has been on that lift since i moved there i pass it all the time.

Hills. Ah yes, I remember that store fondly. Loved shopping there back in the 80's.

That is an old gas station and the proprietor lived upstairs very common back in the day. Keep up the great job Tampa.J we watch you all the time.

Thanks Jay. Hope Cris the girl had a wonderful birthday. Rogue and abandoned shopping carts are one of my largest pet peeves too. I got a huge dent in my Subaru from a rogue shopping cart that wind slammed into my parked car. That was one repair I hated paying. Safe travels

You were just down the road from where I am now. Middleburg. But I was born in and raised in Hardee County and spent many years in Ft. Meade. Thanks for the old Florida videos. Some of old Florida has changed but much of it hasn't. Love old Florida. Thanks Jay.

Thanks for more fun exploring Jay :) Keep up the great work

Another great video Tampa Jay thanks for taking us with you love you

Those weren't gas shut offs for the gas station. Those levers were for the car lifts. Love your channel. Great job!!

Another great! roadside attraction video Jay always much ahead be safe out there .

Thanks for the backroads video Jay. I love them the most. I like all the videos but my favorite are the backroads and news are always the best. I have watched the old ones many times. Hugs my friend. ❤

These type of videos are SO cool!! Love them!! ❤

Ooh the old bank with the mid-century rock work! Great aesthetics!

Your whole series on old towns etc is great. It's so cool what you find when you get off the big highways.

Keep showing the real Florida, the small towns,back roads and roadside attractions. Great videos.

Yayyyyyy! Love this. I collect cranes( the bird...not live one's lol) but I love statues and pictures of them! Love love these roadside videos! Thank you!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

HEY,.. JAY Ya ! Man Thanks for Doing another Abandoned Town's and Back Road video I Really enjoy These type of Video's That's What we use to Do back in our Younger Days Cruise the back Roads. Well ok Take care and Stay safe 🙏

Awesome adventure and a place I remembered going to as a teen fishing with my Uncle. The old motel site on Crescent Lake we stayed there on one of many fall fishing trips way back in the early 80's the structure that remained was the old restaurant I think. Appreciate you taking us along on yet another cool adventure 😎🚘🇺🇲😇🌞

Thanks i enjoyed seeing Florida

These are always so interesting! Wow. Thanks for sharing! This was great!!👍 ❤

Thank you Jay! The first time I drove up 17 for work, I wanted to avoid I75... It did NOT disappoint!

Loved the video! The vulture's...wow! Safe travels, Jay 🙂

EXCELLENT adventure video!!

When you were under the bridge at the beginning that is Dunn's creek. it connects Crescent Lake to the St. Johns River. Taking a tour by boat in this area would be amazing, I recommend. I was fortunate enough to grow up in this area and this is a trip back in time for me. Good stuff man

My great great grandfather is buried in that Espanola cemetery. That was the white eagle bar!

Once again, this made my Sunday! That lifted Ram still looked good and I could see why that gentleman was interested in that property! Lots of TLC, but tons of potential to bring it back to life.

That truck and tire service station is SO SO cool.. I just LOVE old service stations! I think of them when they were booming with people coming through... Employees around helping customers... So cool.

Mornin!!AWESOME!!

Love this series! I remember Hills store awesome stuff ➡️

That INN. Is really Cool...

Jay, Thank you for the video. I was following along via maps. Anticipated the 3 Bananas and Train tracks. Mrs. James

As always awesome

I miss driving fork lifts too Jay ✌️❤️

I just subscribed yesterday. Really like your channel. I love old Florida.

I looked up Sprague House to see the interior. So much history!

Always great to explore these fabulous locales with you. What an awesome channel.💯

GREAT 👍 VIDEO J̌AY...😊

Nice video of the area. Steven

I enjoyed watching this episode. The Sprague House in Crescent City looks like a place my wife and I would love to visit and stay overnight. I believe we in the South would pronounce it as Spray-gue, not Spahgue like you did several times. Anyway, I liked the commentary. It would be cool if you were to get permission to interview a local resident of the towns you visit. Happy travels! Watching from Jacksonville.

"This is why......I bought this car." 😂😂 nice

Always love these old Florida roads, Tampa Jay. Keep getting closer to Lake Penasoki!!😊 Much ahead. There was something familiar about that road you tried going down, but you had to turn back.🤔🤔

Thanks, very informative

Thank you, Tampa Jay, for the awesome journey in what must have been parts of Florida that must have held some kick butt tales .. that was very enjoyable, Sir 👍. Y'all enjoy and be well ✌️👀🎩.

Jay you remember going down those metal slides and burning the back of your legs off during the summer 😂😂😂🦩🦩🦩

Very nice, good job

Very interesting - thanks for showing!

Enjoy your videos

I love you!

Man I love back roads & abandon places, specially you’re series in my home state of Florida, God I miss it so 🥺

Tampa Jay I know you love the haunted themed stuff. Have you ever been to the Mansfield Reformatory? It’s where they filmed the Shawshank Redemption movie. If you ever get up this way it’s a must visit you won’t regret it!!

The old repair shop, with the truck stuck on top of the lift, you said the 2 levers you found on the side, were something to do with the gas. NO, they are the levers to operate the lifts, up or down, under air pressure. Just thought you would like to know.

Great video, my friend! 😊 Stay safe. 🙏 Hugs 🤗 Dang-it! I still have not been to a Buc-ee's! 😢

Should definitely eat at 3 bananas. Great food! Palmeras is good too.

I was just in Burnell yesterday when I picked up my two new baby kittens

I just learned that there is also a Crescent City in California. :)

Great video!

I wonder if anybody has taken a "bike down that sweet slide", ad Adam would say.

Hey TJ I love the old garage with dodge on the lift! I wonder if they were outdoor bays and hoist or there was an old structure that had fallen down around it ? Anyways sounds like ur dad’s truck had a 318. They came with a 225 slant six 318 and 360s. And 5.9 Cummins (around 89 or so ).

There’s a nice little bbq place right outside of Pierson about 25 minutes from there.

Seville. Thought about this place other day. When I was going college in Tallahassee in 70's meet uoing lady from Seville. Told her no such town. Found out it did exist

Jay, I have never seen a heard of vultures like that in my life….except in movies & TV….but not like that.

1stbro 😊

I was using an antanna 38 years ago!

Hills department store wasn't a northern thing only.. We had one in Chattanooga TN.

Crescent City Florida 🇺🇸

That restaurant was called The White Eagle it was there for a very long time they had live music Some Nights. And as a construction worker I used to eat lunch there several times a week I think the roundabout they built their may have killed the business but it may have closed before that I'm not sure I moved out of the area in the early 2010s

Car wash laundry that's pretty smart

Your fav beaver ... I mean... Should be cristhegirl 😂💜💜💜💜💜 hehe

Hey Jay, I think those two levers you said were gas shutoff were the controls for the lift that dodge truck was on.

I wish I was with you man I can explain a lot of those old towns that I used to go to with my grandfather he was on the railroad back in turn to the century and yes we're Tampa natives grandfather my dad myself I used to work at the old Lowry Park and Tampa and I went to work at the old Busch gardens My dad worked at the brewery then eventually me and my dad in the '80s both of us worked for Disney world and I opened the studios back in late '80s '89 I think it was

Count the shopping carts! 🛒 I’d stay at that old hotel though that the presidents stayed!

Jay those valves were to operate the lifts The list went up and down with air pressure

the levers outside are for the truck lift

Those things you said gas shut off work for the lift hydraulic air controls might’ve been a second one there somewhere

Those aren't gas valves, they are air valves for the lift

those are controls for the lift

You should’ve looked to see what was in that dumpster, No telling what was in it

I live in crescent city lol

I live in satsuma fl the 3 buildings you seen in satsuma are going to be sold I am guessing the man that owned them passes he used to keep all that land from tge first building to the road where the train tracks are clean .. I have also lived in crescent city the China wok was a Hardee's back in the day it is still open the people who run it live inside I wouldn't eat there. The building that is city hall in crescent city used to be a old bank and the old bank that's abandoned used to be first federal bank the red brick building on the corner where the light is used to be a old jewelry story back when I was young crescent city was a busy little city it's a ghost town now it's not a place I would recommend anyone moving to it's a small town with big city crimes

White eagle bar only closed couple years ago

White eagle bar.

Us 17 was the main road in florida before us 1 or i95 was built

My family land.

With those buzzards. Hitchcock would be proud. Said that in my Adam the woo voice

Lots of old abandoned houses... buy one.. Lol

Why is there so much abandoned property around there and in Florida???

85 Dodge, probably had a 318 or 369 V8.

Lead paint not asbestos

Crescent city has a catfish festival

Jay you need to get back to Crescent City in April for the Crescent City Catfish Festival. They have amazing food and the longest parade I've ever seen.

Crescent City Florida 🇺🇸
