so... i've never heard of your channel, and i dont watch anything driving related, but here you are being recommended to me, showing off my town all over youtube lol. in case you missed it, there is a really awesome ice cream shop about a mile back from where the video starts: Swirlie's.

It was a quaint town many years ago. Famous for two very bloody civil war battles. Old Town Manassas has some beautiful homes. The country stores are now gone, the drive in movie theater is long gone. Was once full of country folk and now not so much. There was a Large Latino influx adding some variety to the mix. Been there since 1981.

Haha I enjoy seeing my home town on the internet. It's such a nice moment seeing others admire the town like I do

Manassas was in the Guinness book of world records for most churches per capita.

8:50 Can't drive very long in Manassas without seeing (and hearing) a fart-can equipped lowered car. My Nissan Frontier pickup sounded exactly like that--till I got the exhaust leak fixed.

I grew up with Manassas as the nearest town to my home. I still live and work in the ares. It has changed a great deal over the past several decades, but everywhere has grown in population in the wider DC metroplex area.

My favorite little town. Always something fun going on in Old Town Manassas! :)

Hey thanks for driving past my shop at 3:44 (Shining Sol Candle Company - on the right, big orange sun!). Fun video!

Oh man I got all kinds of anxiety as soon as the video played showing you taking me straight to the courthouse Edit: I love how everybody is saying this is such a beautiful town if he were to take a right at grant ave you def would not have write the comment hahaha

I remember back in the mid 90's, everyone from the other backwoods parts like Stafford/ Culpeper / Front Royal would show up on Friday and Saturday with their souped-up cars and ride up and down Mathis Ave

strange to see a video trending of a drive i've taken every few days for 28 years lol

I live here, and it looks like this all spring and summer. It’s really nice here.

Used to live in manassas moved to SoCal 2016 . Manassas is a great town

The Harley shop on the right used to be the old Southern States way back in the day .

Don’t know how this got on my feed lol but I love Manassas!

8:57 Man O Man Do I Luv Hearing Stick Shift Vehicle’s Taking Off AT Stop Sign’s Signal’s OR Crossing The Street To Get To There Destination’s Love It 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I lived at 335 East Cener Street around 1964-66. I loved being a kid there. My first job was working at the 'Manassas Market at age twelve. Larry and dGus owned the little stor and treated me well. I think their last name was either Bellitistus or Velastesis. I had so many great times and great friends. Danny Cook, Jimmy Hall, Larry Dameron, Randy Lillicotch to name just a few. Those were the true 'good old days' for many of us and it was a cleaner, fresher time in America back then. There were a few bad times too, but i was a thirteen year old when we moved from the coal camps of Southwestern Virginia and to me it was a big city. I recall we paid 125. a month rent for that big beautiful house. Clark Nalls would collect the rent every month, and he was a good guy. Later i would date his daughter Teri. So many great memories for a nearly 70 year old man. It was a great place then, and that will never be the same i am afraid. Thanks for the video. I am subscribing now.

Moved from Springfield VA to Manassas back in 1992 since that year a adopted Manassas as my lovely Home town.

Wait I just moved to manassas a few weeks ago and now I’m getting recommended manassas driving videos? Lol I’ll take it

Man thank you for showing people are town

1:05 Tactical Airsoft Arena on your left folks!

Such a beautiful town Manassas in Virginia is.

I like Manassas! It’s fun! Once been there before! Plus, I know the VRE train which stands for Virginia Railway Express! And Amtrak too! From DC!

🤘💜🤘my home town

8:15 Right turn by the BK on Liberia is my drive to Dulles while avoiding I-95 as much as possible

Manassas aka little El Salvador.

Thanks for the video man grew up there and in Fairfax and surrounding areas haven’t had a chance to make it back in a few years living in cave creek Arizona these help the homesickness until I go back next year

Manassas VA Nice drive in that nice lookin Virginia town

All the people saying this is so ghetto clearly haven't spent any time in New york. Bout to go here and it looks so calm.

So did anything happen to the cop?

Great video! I grew up in that town! You went down many streets I remember, but you missed some. If you ever decide to go there again, may I suggest: Mathis Avenue Byrd Drive (in Georgetown South) Sudley Road (all the way to the battlefield park and back). Otherwise, I loved riding through the familiar city of my childhood!

A lot has changed in manassas. Grew up there.

I lived around there till fall of 2021. The area around Old Town's a nice place- especially during holidays like this one, though that meant some of the roads were closed off and it's worth the walkaround.

My hometown, I don’t go there much anymore but spent a lot of time cruising Saturday nights up and down Centreville rd. 😀

Must be 4th of july.. can't go through manassas without going through Georgtown South.

Hi Mike, I've watched some of your videos before $and was recommended this one for the place I live. I think you do a good job showing central old town. It is pretty small so there isn't much to see. The business areas make up most of Manassas. Liberia Ave, Sudley Rd (has a mall), and up 28/Centrevill Rd If I had to guess, I'd say you were in Manassas for the fireworks :) Ours are supposed to be "good".

Oh I used to live there I love it but I still visit that area

Compared to historic civil war era towns like Fredericksburg, manassas ain’t much, but it’s downtown has finally gotten better

for all of you that say manassas has changed for the worst, complaining about Latinos and el salvadorian, west Virginia is still old country and dusty the way you like it, you're all welcome to leave

This channel and this video was popped up on my recommendations and I live in manassas lol

My dad was in a gang called La Raza, we lived in GTS. Just bringing this up to see if it rings any bells for anyone? Maybe I can find out more about how GTS and Manassas was back then.

God bless you for having the big ♥ you have, for wanting to give back.

Who here remembers Ground Round where Pollo Campero is now across from Bomnin Chevrolet which was Dudley Martin Chevrolet and also the old Print shop on 28 across from Napa which the print shop is now a furniture like store

Nope…don’t miss this place…stay safe everyone!

Dude drove through Manassas, and didn't even drive on Liberia SMH.

it's changed a lot over the last two decades, but so has the region

That building next to Rogers Automotive is going to be the new City of Manassas Police Dept

I was just here yesterday to pick up some shoes at manassas mall,it’s been there for years,sorry to say I’m moving to Texas in less than a week and I’m not gonna miss it lol

Two Loudoun Firefighters Are Accused of Rape By Josh White August 31, 2000 Prince William County police arrested a career Loudoun County firefighter and a career firefighter recruit Monday after a 20-year-old woman accused them of raping her early Sunday morning, police said. Both men also are active members in two separate volunteer fire departments in Prince William. Police said Tuesday that the woman--who was a friend of her alleged attackers--was drinking with the men at a party Saturday night before going to one of the suspects' homes just north of Manassas Park. Police spokesman Dennis Mangan said the woman called police about 4 a.m. Sunday to report that both men had raped her. Conan Rowe Kelley, 27, and Kenniston Todd Aime, 26, both of Yorkshire, have been charged with rape and forcible sodomy. They were being held without bond yesterday in the Prince William County jail, awaiting a bond hearing. ADVERTISING Their attorney, Edward J. Regan, of Fairfax, did not return telephone calls this week. Loudoun County fire officials said both men have been placed on administrative leave with pay while an internal investigation is conducted. Mary Maguire, spokeswoman for Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Services, said that Aime is a driver engineer who has been with the department a little more than a year, and that Kelley is a member of the department's current class for firefighter/emergency medical technician recruits. Kelley started in June and was scheduled to graduate to full status in October. Aime was not assigned to a particular squad but worked where he was needed. Mangan said that the two men and the woman were celebrating Kelley's birthday, which was Friday, with a group of friends and that they ended up at Kelley's home on Newton Place, near Yorkshire Elementary School. The attack occurred a few hours after they arrived at the home, Mangan said. According to a criminal complaint filed in Prince William County General District Court, the alleged victim "became extremely intoxicated and passed out" in Kelley's home about 2 a.m. Sunday. When she awoke shortly before 4 a.m., according to the complaint, Aime was raping her and Kelley was sitting on the bed next to her, naked. The Washington Post generally does not name the victims of sex-related crimes. Kelley told police that he had sex with the victim at least twice and sodomized her and that "after he was done, [Aime] came upstairs and did the same thing," according to the complaint. "It was all against her will," Mangan said. "She knew them, but she wasn't dating either of them." According to a search warrant affidavit filed in Prince William County Circuit Court, the victim ran from the home, leaving behind her underwear and shoes. She immediately called police and went to Potomac Hospital for treatment. According to court documents, a hospital examination showed evidence consistent with rape. Craig Griffith, chief of the Yorkshire Volunteer Fire Department, said Tuesday he did not know details of the alleged attack and could not comment. Griffith said that Kelley is an active member of his department and that Aime used to volunteer there. Prince William police said Aime now volunteers at the Coles District Volunteer Fire Department. "All I know at this point is that whatever party there was, it was nothing connected with the Fire Department," Griffith said. Staff writer Maria Glod contributed to this report.

I work about 3 miles from there lol

Can’t wait to move out of this town
