Southern hospitality in the Appalachian Mountains is an experience you can't find anywhere else in the United States. I'm here in East Tennessee, city of Elizabethton, to go fly fishing with my Dad, uncle, and our buddy Len, on the Watauga River and decided to spend some time chatting with the locals and share with you what a small town in the Appalachians is all about.
This video also touches on the Bemberg and NARC textile factory that now lays dormant and has a history I hope to explore further sometime in the future.
Thanks to everyone who help me make this video happen 🙌

Ok, so how in the world do you properly pronounce Appalachia?!
Apple-atcha. Easy way to remember it in order to not get one thrown at you.
@@southerncommentary7213 ahhhh, I like that analogy!
Beautiful, thanks
Blessed to call Elizabethton TN home.
What a great video! Thank you for sharing!
😊
I LOVE Elizabethton. Went college a few miles away. And Father Tim is wonderful too! A dear colleague and friend. Thanks for taking me back to a place I love and making me smile.
How cool! Father Tim is a great guy and if it wasn't for one of his friends, Mary, to suggest I talk to him, the introduction would have never of happened! I'm happy to hear it made you smile. That makes me feel pretty awesome 😊
@Tim Donaghy Yes!
Oh my God!! My hometown!! I fished that very river with my dad
And that has got to be one of the best rivers I've ever fished! Such beautiful scenery and full of fish! I bet you have a ton of awesome memories :)
Really enjoyed the trip. Let's start planning next years fishing trip
Ahhhh, now I know who JEG is!!! 😆
Awesome time as always and I’m ready to plan!!
So cool!!
Like a small farm cucumber 😎
I'm researching my area for a class project and decided to do my hometown of Elizabethton. I was thrilled to see this video pop up. You did a great job capturing the culture of this sweet little town. I have so many fond memories here 💜
How cool! We had no idea what to expect other than great fishing and glad I brought my camera! It's a sweet little town...exactly :)
Great video!
Thank you - great vid!
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by!
My beautiful home town
Aww, my hometown... thanks for showing off my town it's a small and not verly known town. I dont live about 5 mins from the covered bridge!
My pleasure! That such a beautiful bridge!
Such lovely people, and very nice.
Right?! Very friendly people :)
Awesome! We live in Hampton but our closest grocery store is Elizabethton so we go there often. That stretch of the Watauga River is beautiful and a great little kayak paddle.
Sooooo beautiful!
So good
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Loved Elizabethton .....
Cool little town for sure :)
Hey that lady cooking is my friend. She is a very hard worker!
Cool! Yea, she seemed like it. Kind soul, too :)
Hospitality from being raised right! Proud to be from Elizabethton!
Amen to that! What a wonderful city you grew up in :)
@@ScottGerke I hope you were able to visit Fort Watagua. My family has spent some great time & walks there by the river. There is actually an outdoor play done in the fort in July about how the over mountain men mustered there during the revolutionary war.
I was also engaged and married there. If you go back in the summer you'll have to go Tubing down the Watauga. We love our little town!
@@wyntertyme1735 I only fished the Watauga but didn't visit the fort. That'll go on my list for when I visit again, thanks!
I moved here in 1991... from Atlanta... I love it here
Not a bad place to go when you're ready to leave the big city life!
1st Corinthians 6:9-10 guess the “ father “ doesn’t go by that ….
Guess he doesn't believe the Bible. He's a wolf that the Bible warns to beware of!
This is God's country . Glad you came by
Wonderful hospitality :)
Born and raised in Elizabethton TN. Next time you are in town look me up on fb. I'll show u some killer fishing spots and beautiful scenery.
Awesome, thanks! I'll be sure to do that if I ever make it back !
Man I miss living in America,currently stuck in California .
I live right down below the Wayne and Nancy's resturant
Ha, that’s cool! Oh man, their biscuits and gravy is delish!
I live in elizabethton tn I grow up in butler tn its a small little town 20 mins from elizabethton
Ah yes, the town that has been through a lot of flooding before the dam went in!
@@ScottGerke yep I live there when I was 10 I basically grow up in butler
Another awesome video Scott! Really interesting series!
Rowan's back, striking like a python...blaze like John. :)
Love that pastor!!!!!!
Nigga dis town hood asf 🤣🤣I live here tf
Thank you for covering the priest!! Had no idea LGBTQ wasnt frowned upon as much now days. When I was a kid LGBTQ was a big no no
I was happy to have met his and what a kind soul he is. What do you mean frowned upon as much as these days? Do you think that it's less accepted these days?
@@ScottGerke McKayla said NOT frowned upon as much these days.
Sorry to interject,and also nice to meet you I'm your comment section diplomat, apparently 🥰
@@ladymaiden2308 I don't see it anywhere saying 'not' though
🤮
Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing!
Just curious. What do you mean by that exactly?
As I commented that I think I arrived at the part in the video you were referring to ironically enough.
too bad this great video shows the one liberal preacher, not sure even could attach that label, within the entire county
What church do you go to?
@@ScottGerke czcams.com/video/8fwzH4t1XfY/video.html
@@ScottGerke What church do YOU go to?
Out of all our wonderful pastors you ran across a false teacher. "Bremberg" 😆 🤣
Looks to me like he's got the love and support of many people and give it right back to them. I say he's doing right for himself and those around him ✌
@@ScottGerke Colby is referring to the fact that it's bemberg not bremberg
🤣🙏
@@ladymaiden2308 I was given the correct spelling of the name and I cannot believe I still made that mistake 🤦♂️
@@ScottGerke it happens bro. It's all good 🤘🙏
German words can be weird sometimes 🤣
Great video but I can tell you right now that false pastor does not represent God or the true churches, pastors and Christians in this area.
Looks like a pretty true pastor to me. He shares love and belonging without casting judgement and serves his community, what seems to be, unconditionally ✌
No he does not represent GOD'S WORD. He cannot teach Gods word and live in sin apparently he does not know the word of God
@@michaelgraybeal6458
And I suppose you think this is a christ-like attitude?
I mean you're probably right you know what a snob Jesus was.
🤔🙄🤦
Peace be with you brother. I sincerely mean that. Jesus is my Lord and Savior and if he doesn't judge you, who am I?
but since Jesus gave me the gift of sarcasm, I'm sure he'll forgive me a little use of it.
🙏
GOD said love the sinner not the sin. So yes if Jesus was here he would tell you that
"If there is a thing called Jesus" - A "thing?" Dear God. This guy's beliefs (and apparently his actions as well) are "an abomination" according to the Holy Bible. His position on homosexuality is not Biblically based at all. But then, the Bible warns us that in the last days man will call right wrong, and wrong right. "Father Tim" is the perfect example of this. I'm going to pray for him.
I was born and raised there!
woop woop!!! Very cool :)
