Thank you, Josh, for another interesting and enjoyable visit to a community in Appalachia. I enjoy the musical selections you offer with the videos. Maybe your (eventual) marketing team will someday suggest production of an album featuring these selections. :)

I enjoy how you not only highlight your videos with such rich history but with your music choices, drone footage and capturing small details of the town. It's amazing you have already taken us on this many journeys with you and given us so much to be proud of in these great mountains. Keep them coming!

Great content, i was just visiting the Tri-Cities area and Gate City and Weber City in November of 22 looking to try and figure out My family's place in the history of the Carter and Meade family. it is proving a little difficult but I did find some stuff out and even found a book my mother had of the Early Carters in Scott County Virginia. as well as my mothers High school yearbook from Hilton High School in 1951 when she graduated. So thank you for this video it really helped me.

I watched anxiously hoping for a Mac McClung mention, Gate City's most famous citizen: last weekend's 2023 NBA Slam Dunk Champion; Virginia's all-time high school leading scorer (surpassing Allen Iverson). Check out his highlights. Peace man!

@MountainRoots Жыл бұрын

I did see he was from there, but didn't mention him. Sometimes I'll reference present notable individuals, but this time I simply did not. Perhaps I should have. Thanks for bringing it up, appreciate you watching!

I saw Gate City and came here to mention that isn't this where Mac is from? Wearing that Gate City jersey in the dunk contest was a great tribute

I grew up just across the stateline in Lynn Garden, Tennessee. We used to ride our bicycles over to Weber City during the summer and swim in the Holston River near the old Sundown Drive-in Theater. Seems like forever ago... Very fond memories of that area. Thanks, RT

By golly, I've been there. Once visiting the tri cities and heading north to Ohio (a long time ago) we went through Gate City on the way. My granddaughter is going to Mary Baldwin in Staunton and I'm anxious to root around and have been keeping track of some neat places to see. Keep it going Josh!

@@MountainRoots It depends what you like. The countryside is beautiful, but the Lake District in North West England is breathtaking. Highlands of Scotland is barren but is pretty. Britain is varied. There are historical towns such as Canterbury in SouthEast England that are worth a visit. There is Portsmouth on the Southcoast if you are interested in naval history. Cornwall in South West England is lovely. There is aura about the place. London is very expensive, busy and multicultural. Snowdonia in Wales is ok.

You're welcome, no it's pronounced like "binge" as in "binge watch". At least that's what I gathered from folks I know who have that same last name. Thanks for watching!
