This video is 11 years old and still damn funny. In fairness to the town, they have made many improvements in the last decade. We are still woefully behind what a seaside Florida town could be, but its home.
I just visited Titusville Fla on a vacation trip to visit some of my families family. I am a corporate trainer and I often search CZcams for fun, work appropriate, video's and when we booked the trip I searched and found the Unofficial Tourism video. It is wonderful and although it's now 9 years old I loved trying to find all of the things that have changed, stayed the same, or have been updated or destroyed. I shared this video with many people leading up to the trip and so many people are now aware of Titusville because of your video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it. I know it caused some issues in the news and that it is shown to folks at the local school district as our family said they had seen it prior. It is truly a piece of Americana that I hope never dies. Here's to next years trip to Titusville and that there is still So much to do.
Living in Titusville was like being in a bad marriage - after being in it for a while, you start to go numb. It's embarrassing to see so many vacant commercial sites. In one place, they've razed a mall/shopping center, and just left this huge slab of asphalt. City officials are either incompetent or have received graft over 30 years and so businesses go further south to Merritt Island and surrounding areas. It's pathetic.
An accurate depiction of Titusville. May be enjoyable if your older because its quiet and dull. It is still stuck in the 60's space age. Most of the people I went to HS with (c/o 07) moved away to other places. Always disappointing whenever I visit because its gets worse and worse. Left a couple of years ago myself and have never looked back. How did I ever survive...
I moved out of Florida and it was in Titusville but now I really miss it because you showed the paces exactly where I live, I miss it because all my friends live there and in Port St John 30 minutes away!!!!
FWIW, Miracle City "Mall" was finally closed down for good this year. It's going to be bulldozed so a developer can build a more up-to-date outdoor mall that will probably also be desolate.
I moved here two years ago...and I must say that this video cracked me up. The brochure in the hotels were so hopelessly out of date that I was shocked when I actually moved here. I felt dupted.
From a teen who has grown up in Titusville all of my life, this video is amazing! All of us think everything that was said on this video so why not make some good entertainment for all 5,000 of us Titusville folks....lol I love it and you don't listen to the haters! Awesome job!
I grew up in Tightassville in the 60s, and could hardly wait to get the hell out. You nailed it!!! However, you just wait -- after you've left, you'll still feel some affection for T-ville, the way you'd do for any place where you'd spent formative years. Then someone else will make a video like this, and you'll scream with laughter, like I did.
Impressive video. I think I will relocate from Christmas, Florida to this great metropolis which has a beautiful view of the Indian River and those balmy breezes from the nearby ocean. Imagine all those McDonald's Restaurants! I could have lunch in a different one each day. Seriously, if the small town atmosphere does not work for you, move to Miami and enjoy the crime rate. As for me, I am moving to T-ville and kissing goodbye to the rat-race and congestion of Christmas, Florida.
Things have sure changed. I loved the area when I lived and worked there in the 80's. Beautiful wildlife reserves and park areas. Things were booming back then and life was good for most of us residents.
It's a shame too. Because it's located in the perfect spot to watch the launches across the water. The city council doesn't even realize that there is so much potential for this town if they would utilize some younger, newer-age ideas in creating good opportunities for tourism. I realize that when the shuttle program ended, it made the town take an even worse nose dive, but now with the re-engerized space program, thanks to Elon Musk & SpaceEx, the town could be a gold mine. But I hear there are too many old folks on the city council who don't seem to want any type of positive or lucrative growth for more positive change for the town. At least we now have Titus Landing (which replaced the old Miracle City Mall) and that's a start and I'm starting to see some new construction in a couple of places, but they really need to do more. This town could be generating so much revenue from tourism dollars if they only knew what to do and how to do it.
I love this video, the narration is the perfect balance of being smart but not too sarcastic, being from the Midwest Titusville is still "pretty Cool" I would rather live there than Ilinois
I just saw this featured on FOX35 and had to look it up. Hilarious! I have been to Titusville only once to watch a shuttle launch get scrubbed - and from what else I saw there I had no desire to return. Hope you can wake up people to take notice and ACT to improve your city. Kudos to you!
@blackbolt003 The front page of the sunday paper gets even more coverage on the bottom of a bird cage. Do you live in Mims or is it something even more personal that drives your bizarre rage?
I lived in Titusville 77-79, during Middle School before to Spain then Japan, where I still live. At present I prepping a Project for Publication and have been on google maps etc.... thinking nothing has really changed. I am shocked, amazed and very sad to see that Titusville and maybe the rest of the US as I know it is in BAD SHAPE. I used to Roller Skate my Ass OFF for fun and sports at the Carousel Skate! Have lots of wicked little stories about T-town. Thank you and Ciao For Now
Wow...I haven't been back to Titusville in 20 years, but it doesn't look like I missed much. The shots of the inside of the malls was eerie, although Searstown wasn't too much different in the '80's. And is the Moonlight Drive-in still open? I saw a quick flash of the sign.
@andrew288 Originally that was to be the end of the shuttle program. Now that may or may not be delayed for a short period. Still, whenever it shuts down, and with no replacement, things in Titusville can only get worse.
If they ever do another Twilight Zone they could film it in Titusville. ,but who would ever believe that there is actually a place like this. Mims could be a great follow up
This video is hilarious!!! Growing up here has been pretty boring, hopefully this will get the point across and someone'll do something about it! Congrats on making the news!
Robin Rediel Robin check out the UNofficial tourist vi deo of Manchester, England on my channel, might give you a few laughs !! Its not sunny like florida as you'll see, check it out on my y.t ch annel, its in the uploads. Comments on there welcome. Justin. Peace :)
wow, graduated from Titusville High in 1997 and seeing this reminds me why I joined the Marines lol. So much better out here in California! not as depressing as downtown T-ville.
I live in the Midwest and I have been to Titusville lol it sucks so bad there and I would not...move over 1000 miles away to live in a town like that.I have to live some were closer to the beach where there's more life
Loved the video. It's spot on, and that's why I moved away. The only issue I have is with Dave's at the mall. You probably don't know this but "Dave" started working at that little stand when it was an Orange Julius back in the late 70's. He scratched out a living and eventually saved enough money to buy it. Now he's all that's left. I feel bad for the guy. It's sad to see someone achieve a modest dream only to have it taken away.
My Dad retired and we moved to T-ville, Aug. '71. Thought he was there, West end of the mall then, and then in '74 after my Army stint I am almost certain he was there. Same cool Juice Kiosk.
I love it! It's hysterical! Ignore all the people whining and complaining about the video. My husband has worked at KSC for over 20 yrs and we though this was a riot! If anyone needs to "grow up or move", it's all the whiners who didn't enjoy your video! Instead of criticizing you, they should do something productive about the condition of Titusville! You did a great job and I wanted you to know there are plenty of people who enjoyed it! God Bless!
I appreciate this very accurate video of where we live.. Thank you for summing it up. I hate this place so much.. Now we only have like one store in that stupid Miracle City mall, and most the other shops are fricken closing. And theres even less going on in Searstown now than there was when this was made. Hooray!
love it, can you do psj next? or the whole dam county? way to shake the tree kid ,keep up the good work,have you thought of running for an office?can't wait for your next vidio. diesel1507
OK, I was going to rip this video until I realized it was making fun Titusville. It was HILARIOUS! Learned a few things too. 5 frigging McDonalds?! Wow!
This video is 11 years old and still damn funny. In fairness to the town, they have made many improvements in the last decade. We are still woefully behind what a seaside Florida town could be, but its home.
still come back to this every so often. perfect work of art and captured that moment in time succinctly. ty for the giggle
That has to be the greatest song Ive ever heard in my 95 years on this planet.
SurvivalTipsClips are you dead yet i have some questions
Are you still alige

That is so cool! Thank you for the comment. The amount of change in the city is pretty incredible.
“If you love mediocre overpriced seafood be sure to come to Dixie Crossroads.” I’m dead 😂
Haha oh my gosh! And it is still like this even five years later except now we have one less mall.
But they are building an outlet there
Excellent video! You did leave out the best part of Titusville. The on ramp to I-95 which provides quick and easy access to anywhere else.
😂😂😂😂

14 years later this song still randomly gets stuck in my head. I live in Phoenix now, you couldn't pay me to come back
This is AHMAZING!! One of the best videos I have seen in months. Love love it.
Love this video. Please make a new one. I love Titusville.
I moved out of Florida and it was in Titusville but now I really miss it because you showed the paces exactly where I live, I miss it because all my friends live there and in Port St John 30 minutes away!!!!
This still cracks me up
Probably one of the best depictions of this amazing town 😂😂😂 America’s little Secret Gem.
FWIW, Miracle City "Mall" was finally closed down for good this year. It's going to be bulldozed so a developer can build a more up-to-date outdoor mall that will probably also be desolate.

"best place to go shopping"
*instantly flashes back to dave's hot dog stand*
EDIT: I swear when I was a kid dixie crossroads was sooo good
Still a classic!
Seriously, I love Titusville and do travel from Tampa to visit it, but this video is frickin' amazing. Brilliant!
This is just out of control. I cant stop laughing, the best part is that you actually named more things than I thought there was to do.
Gotta love the never ending wal-mart freak show
I love Titusville and I live here too. Great natural surroundings. Just would like to see vibrant businesses in all those vacant buildings.
OMG this video is awesome!!!! Props to you man.
this is so true and yet so sad. i shed a small tear and then realize i am cutting onions.
Impressive video. I think I will relocate from Christmas, Florida to this great metropolis which has a beautiful view of the Indian River and those balmy breezes from the nearby ocean. Imagine all those McDonald's Restaurants! I could have lunch in a different one each day.

I was born and raised in Titusville and this video is hilarious. Great work!
love this video, been saying it for years, but you finially out it into a film!! Great... and titusville really is exactly like what you see!
Things have sure changed. I loved the area when I lived and worked there in the 80's. Beautiful wildlife reserves and park areas. Things were booming back then and life was good for most of us residents.
the song is great also
I love it. I live here and it is sooooooo true. Keep up the good work.
Grew up there in the 60's. Where's Holiday Inn? Whispering Hills Elementary...oh God I'm old.
Dude!?!? This is... AWESOME!!!
Life in Titusville was such fun, amirite?
Toiletville has always look like that.
Hilarious. Also, what is the title and who is the singer of the opening song?
The most exciting thing about Titusville is not even IN Titusville...
It's a shame too. Because it's located in the perfect spot to watch the launches across the water. The city council doesn't even realize that there is so much potential for this town if they would utilize some younger, newer-age ideas in creating good opportunities for tourism.

Ive never laughed so hard... I love you dude
I've lived here most my life and you represented it accurately. xD
Is there an mp3 available with this song? I want to make it my ringtone!
how is it close to nassau? the bahamas are further down, right?

I use to live in Titusville back in the 70's.Believe it or not I plan to return.I miss my old home town.
This, sir, made my life
Thats Titusville summed up in 4 minutes and 32 secs. I live in MI now and im glad I seen this, because im not missing anything being there again.
Been there. Done that. Love the song.
Awesome video!! I was laughing all the way through! Why do I live here?! Ahhh!!!
I often visit to sit in on traffic court. Some of the greatest live comedy available anywhere, and it's all free!
Lol
hijodepuuu would I lie to you?
Oh I believe you. Haha
oh ryan! its so good.
@kesia96 Stupid question: Norway, like the country Norway?
@blackbolt003 The front page of the sunday paper gets even more coverage on the bottom of a bird cage. Do you live in Mims or is it something even more personal that drives your bizarre rage?
OMFG I laughed TOO hard at this. Ugh I'm going there for a few months soon. Definitely looking forward to having too much fun there....
I lived in Titusville 77-79, during Middle School before to Spain then Japan, where I still live.
At present I prepping a Project for Publication and have been on google maps etc.... thinking nothing has really changed.
I am shocked, amazed and very sad to see that Titusville and maybe the rest of the US as I know it is in BAD SHAPE.
I used to Roller Skate my Ass OFF for fun and sports at the Carousel Skate!
Have lots of wicked little stories about T-town.
Thank you and Ciao For Now

@gdholmfirth What will happen in Oct. 2010?
@vinniedasquid Which one?
How Many Tourists Come To Titusville
four, maybe six . . .
Wow...I haven't been back to Titusville in 20 years, but it doesn't look like I missed much. The shots of the inside of the malls was eerie, although Searstown wasn't too much different in the '80's. And is the Moonlight Drive-in still open? I saw a quick flash of the sign.
Amazingly yes Moonlight is still open in 2022 as well. I lived there in 2016 and both Moonlight and Dogs R Us were the best places to eat affordably.
@andrew288 Originally that was to be the end of the shuttle program. Now that may or may not be delayed for a short period. Still, whenever it shuts down, and with no replacement, things in Titusville can only get worse.
YAY!!! I love Titusville!
If they ever do another Twilight Zone they could film it in Titusville. ,but who would ever believe that there is actually a place like this. Mims could be a great follow up
This video is hilarious!!! Growing up here has been pretty boring, hopefully this will get the point across and someone'll do something about it! Congrats on making the news!
