Thanks for watching my adventures . Yesterday I played chess with the Grimm Reaper kzfaq.info/get/bejne/br-mrNRn06erYJ8.html

Gone but thanks to you and others, Roadside America won't be forgotten.

Loved it, my grandparents took me there, then l took my kid ,and now have taken my grandchildren there a few times will be greatly missed.

One of my happiest childhood memories is visiting a model village at a seaside resort here in England. I was mesmerized and totally in awe of the buildings and live action attractions - a horse race, a zoo and a swimming pool with moving figures. The main event was a wedding with a procession out of the church with bells ringing and a crowd of model people cheering. Magical. At twilight all the lights came on and the mini pubs opened. When I think of it now (65 years later) I still get chills of delight.

Omg...omg...omg!!!! I haven't been here since i was 12! And it really hasn't changed that much in all those years. My dad loved this place. ❤❤❤❤

I’ve visited this 35 or so years ago. I still remember how incredible it was! Thanks for making this vid.

I can’t even imagine how much work and how many hours went into making all of that. Amazing! Thank you, Adam for showing us this!

Thanks for the memories~ This was great seeing this again...was there in 1963 with my folks....thanks again.

OMG THIS IS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!! I love model trains and real ones, this whole towns amazing!!! Thank you Adam awesome!!!!

I used to go here all the time with my dad when I was little, I miss it so much 🖤

I visited this attraction several times as a child, I'm 60 now. Took my kids there about 20 years ago when they were younger.

Thank You Woo I almost forgot about this place I pass by on 78 often But now I have a renewed interest and must bring the grand kids!

It is wonderful that a creation from so long ago is still bringing pleasure to others.

Last year me and the family took my dad there for father's day, it was a pretty cool experience.

I loved visiting there!

Sadly it closed permanently. The owners announced it this morning, thanking everyone for visiting over the years.

Those models are freaking AMAZING!!!! And the music, so epic!!!!!!!!

I used to build toy train displays. As a treat sometime my family would take me there. The memories. Thanks Adam.

I cannot think how Walt would have loved this. Thanks Adam!

Love miniatures and trains! Walt would be proud.

I'm glad it was filmed for all to see.

I've been there and aren't the trains wonderful. I saw them as a youngster and as an adult and each time I went I spotted something different. Thank you for showing it.

I just went there in April! Its unbelievable! Like too much to take in . The guy who runs it worked the front controls and entrance. He was super nice had a nice conversation with him. I hope whom ever comes to own this keeps it going. Its fantastic

This place is sweet, anyone who has the opportunity to go should, especially if you love model trains

You are keeping these treasures alive.

Really cool old display, I love the details and the real water. Thanks Adam!

A great Miniature Village, I think it's beautiful.

Wait,,,, WHATTTTT??!?!?!? Adam... The WOOO??? YESS, Yes!! HELL YESSSS! DAMN, Where have you been my Brother?? So very wonderful to hear your voice and see your work. Thank you, Thank You. You are GREAT my friend.

Good job ADAM you do a great thing for all of us to see. Be safe and safe.

That village was phenomenal, in every way. Not only that but every button you pushed actually worked. How rare is that!!!! Always love when you talk to animals and inanimate objects, Adam.😁😄

We went there as a kid. The visual sticks with you. Looks like it hasn't changed a bit.

Being a pennsylvania born fellow myself, i been to Roadside America a handful of times. The display is incredible . My favorite part...the gift shop! lol. (i'm a model railroad builder myself and have found many a great deal there over the years).

What a place great way to spend a rainy day.

I've been watching your channel for years, and the one time you're literally minutes from my house, I'm 750 miles away in Georgia, LOL !! I love Roadside America. I take my daughter there a couple times a year to support a neat local landmark. These roadside attractions are fading fast, so you must visit them to try to save them for future generations. Thanks for visiting Roadside America, Adam !

My parents took me there when I was a kid for my birthday!! Cool to see it now about 10+ years later!!

What i liked was the fact of water all thru the layout pretty cool

I remember coming here when I was like 4 maybe 5. May it Rest In Peace.

Went as a kid and then with my kids. Amazing place

Roadside America is just another tourist attraction/tradition that has fallen victim to these awkward times we live in today. I used to love going there to see all the miniature buildings, trains, animated displays... all created to entertain the wondrous curiosity of children and adults alike! Lawrence Gerringer designed and built the entire indoor fantasy world with the help of family and close friends, and there will never be another quite like it... I sure will miss the intricate beauty and unique sights of this wonderful place! Thank You, Mr. Gerringer, for all the years of true enchantment and your talented craftsmanship! You were one of Pennsylvania's greatest!!!!

So know you did a great job honoring our beloved Mr. Rogers- much more to do in the Burgh! Pttsbughers are very friendly people who will love you.

I have been to roadside America before. It is very sad they close. They had awesome detail. RIP Roadside America 🇺🇸

Thank you for sharing Roadside America. It’s just the way I remembered it many, many moons ago.

I've been here a few times as a little kid; thanks so much for sharing!

Oh man. Childhood memories. I visited this place as a kid!

I love that place. It’s been a part of my childhood for many years.

What a neat place to go on a gloomy rainy day! Thanks

Thanks for taking me back to my childhood memory from the mid 60s as a kid. Love Roadside America then and now. This place got me hooked on roadside attractions as a kid. Still have my old booklet and brochure from the mid 60s I picked up back then. Love how they run their trains really fast there. Wish you had shown a close up of their circus. As you know, I am a circus and Knotts Berry Farm buff.

Oh wow a favorite of ours since we were kids! Took our kids and they loved it

Mr. Gieringer started all this in his Reading PA rowhouse basement. Later he would temporarily set it up for the public in the Crystal Ballroom at Carsonia Park, both gone in the 60's and 50's respectively. Then it was on to Shartlesville on old Rte 22, a mostly two-lane highway. Attendance plummeted when parallel I-78 was built. I grew up in Reading and am now 74, but my brother went to the auction where the buildings were sold piecemeal. He got the picnic tents to the left of the circus. I always admired the Esso gas station. I brought my son there years ago but he doesn't remember. This video might refresh his memory. And yes, it saddens me to see it go.

Marvelous thank you love miniature trains and scenic displays

Have been there many times and it still amazes me!

Why would ANYONE thumb this down? It's more than amazing!!!!

I have been revisiting your old videos again, came across this gem. Good thing you got there when you did, because Road Side America was down closed last time we drove by.

That place looks amazing! You taking me to places I've never would have thought of. Thanks for sharing!!

What an amazing place long may it remain

Cool vlog " Roadside America" is an amazing place. Laurence T. Gieringer created something really special. I hope to put this on my "bucket list"

You are the Man! Totally enjoy you and glad to see you decided NOT to maintain your hiatus......

it's astounding how much Pennsylvania in the rain looks just like England !

Absolutely fascinating display. Like your narration. Good job!

I like to see travel and a abandoned video best

Awesome video that is about 30mins from my house ive been there so many times and it never gets old

How neat. Thanks for showing us this. 👍

Have always loved anything miniature since I was a little girl. awesome video! Would love to go there someday!

Thank you Adam for your videos . I watch them at night as they help me feel grounded for some reason. I love how you dont act fake . I've missed a couple videos due to my sons extensive therapy appointments

I still drive by the old abandon Roadside America. Next to it is the Blue Mountain Restaurant. Many people there can tell you stories about Roadside America. Wish I would have attended the auction when everything was sold to the highest bidder.

In the early 1950s, my first grade end-of-year field trip was to "Roadside America" and, then, Dorney Park. I was enthralled with the story behind the display as well as the depiction of one of the last Indian raids in the area and the chapel on the grounds. Heady stuff for a then-first grader.

AWESOME NICE VIDEO THANK you FOR YOUR VIDEO and YOUR INFORMATION and COMMENTS I APPRECIATE you and your VIDEO. 👍👍👍👍😷😷😷😷📸

Wow. What a wonderful and magical place. Thank you for the video.

You are in my area of Pennsylvania now. I used to visit Roadside America with my parents when I was a child. Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories. I hope you had a chance to go to a family style dinner nearby. Amazing food!!

So glad it survives! I was there in 1961.

Roadside America is an awesome destination. I have not been there in a few years and need to go back for a visit.

I was so happy to see that you went here. I saw this on CBS Sunday Morning show just a few weeks ago. It's been in the family for years but the family is selling it now. Thanks for sharing before they sell. You never know if the next person might be doing with it.............

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

Thank you Adam. I would love to see that in person someday 👏🏼👏🏼

Pretty cool place thanks Adam

Thank you so much for bringing us here! I visited back in 1990 with my grandparents on an epic road trip from Florida to New York and this was one of our stops. I cant believe it looks just like it did way back then. I will always remember this place and look forward to making it back up there sometime again.

I’ve been quite a few times since I was a kid. It’s awesome!

Thanks for having lunch at my desk at work with me yet again, Adam. SO glad the DAILY vlogs are back again!! :-)

Brings back childhood memories, as i grew up about 35 miles from there and went several times and I think took my son there when he was little. It's not the biggest or most realistic, but it has many of the old post war models and tinplate accessories that are very Americana. The kind of old train stuff my pappy had.

Wow!!!! That place is utterly amazing. I could honestly spend all day in there. I used to love the miniature trains at the Los Angeles County Fair.

Thx Woo

Roadside America is an amazing place went here when I was a kid when I used to live in Allentown Pennsylvania

My parents took me and my brother there back in the late 70s. I was 4 or 5 and will never forget how amazing that place was and I was sad to see they were selling/closing it on Sunday Morning.

Wow that place looks amazing! Lot of details in that!

I've been enjoying the daily videos. Thank you

I am a big model railroad fan and this layout was awesome Thanks for sharing Adam.

I live 45 mins from roadside America. Crazy that you were so close when u went.

This place is fantastic so much detail I would love to go and see this 😊😃

This is the kind of thing I come to this channel to see.

I loved this place since I was a kid. Now I'm just an old kid but still enjoy visiting. I remember a player piano in the building. I wonder if it's still there. Thanks Adam!

Wow! Great video! We used to stop here on the way down to Florida every year, last time was over 50 years ago!

Wow!! Thank you for sharing!!! Really amazing!!

This video is incredibly relaxing.

My favorite videos are when Adam describes something as careening

what a fantastic display there Adm.thank you

This is really neat especially the fountains,trains and the lighted up buildings I probably could be there all day long

That's great Adam. They have had some lean years, and I am sure they appreciate the publicity.

Another hit Adam! Thank you! 👍✌❤😀🚂🚎🚛🏠⛪🚜

America's awesomeness!!!

I used to live about a half mile or so from here. My family and I must have been here hundreds of times. I really miss Roadside America. Great memories of a truly American attraction.
