Instagram - AdamTheWooATW A really enjoyable drive up Hwy 17. Best part is I’d never stopped in most these little towns before. Love little hidden communities

We live in Port charlotte and take this way up to disney/universal a couple times a month. Like it better then 75/4 route. Just wish there was a way to go through davenport/celebration instead of having to deal with I4

I agree. He’s almost like Mr. Rogers in a sense. It’s like he creates a world within our world if that makes sense. He doesn’t bring current events or politics into the videos. With the “backroads & small towns” vids it’s easy to get lost in them. I really enjoy them.

As a former #trucker (now driving buses at Walt Disney World), I used to deliver items to the nearby WalMart distribution center, or when I drove tanker, picked up/delivered citrus juice to the plant outside town. I always enjoyed seeing these small towns compared with the hustle and bustle of Orlando.

The building at 32:04 was not a jail but rather the Green Hotel that was built in 1925. Then later on it served as a train station. Now it is just basically abandoned which is sad.

@@FireLeyNyx Ok but originally it was built as a hotel. I knew from looking at it when I saw it in the past when driving through Bowling Green and looking it up to verify. There is another hotel in Dunedin called the Fenway that is built with the same architectural style just much larger.

Always love the small town stuff and sometimes I go to Google Maps and check out the rest of a town you show some highlights in, as I did in Homeland, wondering what the "industry" would be in a town so small and so devoid of businesses and saw the huge pallet manufacturer! I live in the biggest tricity area in North Idaho and our pallet guy is way smaller than that! Also, loved "The Inn", such a cool design and imagined it to be several sorts of business and sad to see it was just wasting away. Zillow listed it as a two bedroom two bath house of all things, but it seems as if that couldn't have been it's original use, hope someone can give us the history of it! Thanks for another off highway "driveabout" as I like to call them.
