Amazing how many of these run down towns exist! So many people have left for the city and jobs…. Shame few come back as these towns are still beautiful if fixed up and loved again

I have to say I love your background music! I love that I can still hear you talking while it plays, it's a really nice effect! Jus' sayin'! This was a great video, I used to live in White Springs, which is not too far from Lake City. Loved it there and did lots of exploring when I lived there!

I did not know Tallahassee was as hilly either until I went to FSU there in 1971. I did not have my license yet and my boyfriend (now my husband for 50 years) taught me to drive his stick-shift and I kept sliding back down the hills! I finally got the hang of it. Love your Florida Roadside Attractions videos!

Hi Jay. I lived in Live Oak from 1953 to 1958 or so. Spent much time hunting and camping in Suwannee Springs, Ellaville etc. Was able to go into the remains of the Drew Mansion before it burned. Seem to recall that it had a cellar that may still be visible. My brother and his atty. friend from Jasper toyed with putting a restaurant on the S Spgs bridge but being on the Suwannee River it wasn't doable. Suwannee Springs was a very popular resort in the late 1800's. You may want to do a vid in the White Spgs area. Tks for the memories!

I was a little kid visiting my aunt's home. Richmond Va. There was a blood stain in the living room. It was once a civil war hospital. I played dolls with the girl in the white nightgown. Just kidding about that last part😮 Super cool memories as a kid. My brother and I collected bullets in the backyard. The house was torn down years later.
