Thanks for watching! instagram.com/tampajay

Hello Tampa Jay, We are older (92 and almost 87) and just want you to know that we love these kinds of videos and think you do an excellent job with them - please keep them coming!

A retro taco bell, that's awesome! As far as the static display, it's a F-84 . The air force demonstration team, the Thunderbirds used that plane in 1954. It was interesting to hear that you were in AF ROTC. I did not know that about you! You would have been an excellent officer! I'm a retired Master Sergeant of 22 years and was an aircraft mechanic and a recruiter. Keep up the awesome vlogs TJ!

I used to love those drives on 17 and 27 when I lived in Florida. So sad to see the abandoned places that were forgotten when the interstates were built and those towns got passed by. But there is also now a certain charm as well to those sleepy little towns. 😊 BTW loved the music on the video!

Nice to see you didn't give up and headed back to do it again! Hmm, I'll have to look up that festival you ran into when you went there before. Thanks for being persistent and getting this video done! The funny thing is I live near the Peace Creek, which runs into the Peace River!

Glad you can complete this. It was a very good episode.

Some of my favorite videos around are your roadside videos! So odd losing all that footage! Good for you ..going back and not giving up! We love all your videos and your sweet spirit. Thankyou so much!❤

Lol. I just discovered this channel today, and boy you hit some real down south gems....🎉🎉🎉🎉. Thank you for the nostalgia.

Since we're watching it, you must have made it this time. Good job. So many people move to Florida and never take the time to get to know its history.

Cool to see Wauchula. I went to school at the original elementary school there when it was on the corner of 7th and Oak in the mid 60's. Gone long ago. Then went to the middle and old high school on Florida Ave. Next to the water tower there used to be an orange juice plant. Worked there for a time. Where the plane is there used to be a large brick church on that lot. When I was little it seemed as big as a castle. The Verizon store used to be a department store when I was young. For many years outside sat one of those .25 cent riding horses. Beeson's Drug Store sat kitty corner of the Verizon. It had the old hard wood floors and soda fountain. The City of Wauchula building was once an A&P. Many memories. Thanks TJ.

Lets gooo! Keep em comin Jay! Its always a good day when TampaJay drops a video 👌

I remember that day when you posted the whole video was lost. So glad you got to revisit and it was an awesome vid. There is something cool about old school Taco Bell stuff. Great memories. Captain D’s is a guilty pleasure of mine

Mornin Jay!! Oh yeah, love it!!

Jay, these kind of videos are your best work. I always enjoy them.

Hey I don’t know if you will respond to this can you do a porky’s filming location video sometime since you’re there in Florida one of the actors that played the character Meat just passed away it would be really cool if you could do it no one has ever done it before and it would be a nice tribute to do it for him

Jay it's always good to see your video series on these things. I enjoy these a lot. Keep em coming bro.

Omg i have been there before, my father loved stopping at anything like that, thank you for showing all of this very cool!!!

Awesome video jay

😅YES YES YES !!! Loved this video! Very much into paranormal! Thank you for going back to finish, fantastic job!

Awesome shirt! I miss my old home of Santa Cruz more than I could ever explain. Thanks for reppin SCS!

Happy Monday Jay…I am really loving the Florida attraction series. What a treat to see a bit of haunt in this video as well. Eagerly waiting for October. Please keep doing more of these types of vlogs. Love the background music and everything Florida. Although I’m from Canada (nice to see a reference of Canada in your walkthrough). Much respect to you my friend.

Cool stuff going to watch now 👌

Man, that intro/exit music is a vibe!!! So much so I looked up Roots and Recognition and am actively digging through their music catalog. This video is definitely in my top 10 favorites of yours Jay! Keep up the great work!!!

Road side attractions 😊

Great adventure! I remember first clip , glad u made it safe 🤗Thank you for Video

First timer. Loved your video❤

Yay!! Thank you for doing this. I missed my hometown!

Now this a perfect day just exploring! I'm intrigued about the white van following you, glad there wasn't a repeat this time around lol, but it makes me wonder what you might have accidentally gotten into hmmmm. As always, love the video ❤

That was epic. What a place. Would love to visit sometime. Side note but I think Highway 27 from start to finish would make an amazing road trip.

Thankfully came across your video ! You got a new subscriber in me keep up the good work my friend ! 🙂

I love these videos. Thank you Tampa Jay for sharing.

You are awesome!!! Wauchula actually really gorgeous city ! Would love to check this out if I had a chance!!!

Wauchula has always freaked me out. My in-laws lived there in the 80s. It's changed alot since then, but still creepy.

Superbly shot video. Makes the viewer feel like (s)he is experiencing the sites with you.

Hi, Tampa Jay, my husband and I love watching your videos, especially when you go exploring. Keep up the good work.

Glad you filmed in Wachula , we lived there as a child , I’m located in Texas , I’ve been waiting to see some videos from y’all in Wachula

😊thank you cool video, st Johns river very hurting aura.

Loved this video and the music added at the end was a great touch. Should add that to each of your videos.

Worth going back, that Taco Bell is a treasure! Def late 90’s decor, miss the good ole days ❤

Awesomesauce! You made it this time, my friend! 😊 Thank you for taking us along. Hugs 🤗 and God bless 🙏

So glad you reshot this! Great video...liminal vibes are a thing. Jay...you are creating excellent content, I am studying your channel hard to get this good! Guilty as charged with you being on our living room TV!

Awesome video! Thank you.

Nothing beats the retro Taco Bell aesthetics!! You tested the spirit?! No wonder you lost the footage last time! Be careful with that! Loved this adventure, and glad it worked out for you this time!

Hi Jay, these are my favorite videos. I love Florida roadside attractions

Hey Jay! Craig from Rockford IL. I started watching your channel several years ago thanks to Woo😁 I love your style of filming, you're so natural. I invite you and Chris to Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin. Lottsa cool to see and do here. Both keep up the 🎉

Subaru-Vision! This being the second round, I’d give it two thumbs up if I could👍🏼👍🏼 Seeing that blood red water must be super creepy, especially at midnight!

Thank you Tampa Jay for telling us about some of your personal life. Stay safe. ❤️🙏

Great video! Love watching your content.

Cool stuff! Every place has its own story ➡️

I watch on a TV and I can put the thumbs up option. I use it through Nvidia shield. Also very enjoyable episode. I was glad that you got the footage this time and it wasn’t erased. ❤

🤠🤠🤠🤠

I have never been to Wauchula, but it looks like a western town like the old days. It was so empty with nobody on the street.spooky

Thanks for sharing, you mentioned your time in Airforce training in college well even though you weren't able to service you should be proud of yourself I'm a US Army Veteran. Stay safe and enjoy your travels.

You did it!!!! Woooo 🎉

Thanks awesome video I enjoyed watching

i love that you show my home town that where is where i was born my friend i can you tell alot about my home town for sure . .

Tampa , my wife and i were watching this on our tv and when you got to the part where you are under the bridge and point up towards the griffin bridge sign…. Our tv scree went dark and youtube froze …. We had to restart the tv and youtube and got back to the point where we froze but now were able to finish the video …this never happened to us … spooky …we live in pgh pa and watch/enjoy all of your and chris’s videos

The jet is an F-84 Thunderstreak. Apologies to anyone who may have mentioned it already. Love the videos Jay! Hope to see you at a Rays game this season. Rays up!

Give CtG an extra hug. Good luck.

One of my earliest memories is visiting my mom while she worked a shift at the Captain D's in New Castle. Ironically she only worked there a couple days

the VERY first video i aw from you was "BLODDY BUCKET BRIDGE", i was looking for haunted places in Florida during the haunt season, anf from that point on i was watching, did not sub how ever till Tom Petty house here in Gainesville. so you have successfully filmed this, but the spirits do what they want when they want, glad you made it out alive..hehhehheh,,,😰

Wow, looks like that old boiler was built in the town just next to me. Learned somthing today thanks jay

Awesome

Isn't that plane a Thunderbird? Used to go to airshows as a kid in the 80s and see them quite a bit.

Thanks!

Lol yes...we watch on our 98 inch TV! But I always try to come here to like and share❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love the music

Glad you were able to redo the video that disappeared. Old Florida is just cool, at the same time sad when you see all the buildings abandoned etc . I cheated and Google searched the plane. It's a f84 jet.

Thought of Freddy Krueger when you showed the boiler too.

tgat was so cool jay i have noit been out there in years thanks you try the ever gllacers in fla ok

Love the town

You guys should come to NJ this weekend because monster mania is happening!!!

I was hoping you would go back and redo this video. I was watching you in my livingroom.

Love Bloody Bucket. Lots of scavenger critters near there. Always a great place to look for bones.

Im thinking "a simpler way of life out there TJ. Looks nice as I eat my smuckers uncrustable. Wow that is a cool old boiler. That old Taco Bell is like taking a walk down history road.

It was a good watch 👍👍👍👍

Somebody must have asked why there was a Hummer parked outside the first abandoned house you showcased. Not suspicious at all.

So like I was wondering sir Henry is going to do a Saint Patrick's Day theme hunt.can you film one of those somewhere

You’re the Bob Ross of vlog

Patrick Swayze’s character’s name in Roadhouse is Dalton.

Hi Jay, i hope you're having a great day.

It was like a UK lad going on a virtual adventure of usa 😃👌

This is an unusual place. It gives the vibe of one of those Chinese or N Korean cities that are built for show and nobody actually lives there.

We've experienced the 'lost footage' fiasco...Our video was about a haunted place, too!

Used to live there.That's the third time at plains been moved

the aircraft is a Republic F-84F Thunderstreak fighter bomber minus its napalm drop tanks.

Jay that aircraft is an F-84 F... you are welcome !!! Huggs to Chris the Girl..

Is that a Republic F-84 Thunderjet?

I dare you to go back out there at midnight

You should go to the castle in ona

Didn’t you say that bungalow was a church a dn that it was Sunday? I have only seen one other. Church that was closed on a Sunday and it was when i was a kid visit my grandmother in Texas. Weird!

F-84 thunderjet, pass by it every time on my way to Meeyami. LMAO 😉

hey you know I’m Indiana there’s an awesome haunt called necropolis underground you should go if you’re ever there it’s in the city Indianapolis they do Halloween Christmas Easter Valentine’s Day and a summer event in July

I remember erased so creepy!

That plane is an old school US Airforce Thunderbirds plane. It's a F-100C Super Sabre

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Jay, that boiler is loaded with asbestos

The Peace River empties into Charlotte harbor and is full of alligators, so any dead meat going in, will be eaten quickly...!!!

Tampa J were you ever in the Young Adult Conservation Corps. In the Ocala National Forrest.😅
