    I've reached out to this video's owner to Inquire about this video but I haven't received a reply but I think the channel is just a bunch of random videos put together with his last video posted 13 yrs ago .. CZcams/ Sparkware
    I've never seen a video this old of a drive through Gatlinburg TN.. I can only imagine how difficult it was holding that big cam corder the whole time, walking and riding with it lol.
    I just know many who love Gatlinburg love seeing how it was way back in 1988🤣

    Wow. '88 doesn't seem so long ago... until I see these cars!
    We took our 2 kids to our only trip to Gatlinburg when we camped in the Smokies on our World's Fair vacation in '82. In our '77 Granada! They were 2 & 5. Only thing I really remember is riding the ski-lift.
    Our 'kids' are in their 40's, with 5 kids between them of their own now.
    So, yeah. Guess it's been 'a minute'...

    We loved getting to see some of Gatlinburg the way it was when we went there on our honeymoon in 1993. So many of the motels on the strip are gone now. It was fun to see things I remember. Thank you for sharing. I would love to see more videos and pictures of the way Gatlinburg used to be.

    And check out those cars. Now if we can find 70s 😂 Probably not with those cameras. 😊 This one is a gem! ☝️ I remember riding with my aunt and uncle, in the early 70s, and going to Porpoise 🐬 Island 🏝️ in Pigeon Forge. Those were magical times…. 🥰

      Sean,Been coming to the Smokeys for over 30 years, It had Cham, My go to restaurants was, Burning Bush and The Brass lantern and The Greenbrier that was the best kepted secret, and never waited 1or 2 hours to get in to eat, Their all gone now!!!!, Was down 2 weeks ago and walked the strip once for only about 1/2 hour, So Freaking busy and no old charm, will quit visiting the Smokey Mountains, It has my heart, Now we stay out 321 or Townsend, Some good restaurants out that way and peaceful, Everyone else can have the strip, Differently not the same anymore 😥😥😥

I miss the old generic gift shops...water weenies, mini-jim bowie knifes, the hologram shop in the village, Acorn annex 2, the lemon tree where my mom got all the stuffed cabbage patch kids.
