It is Fun Hanging out with Dan on here. My Favorites are: Dan Bell, Jordan The Lion, Adam The Woo, Scott On Tape, and a few people who vlog from the Philippines.
Those old truck stops at least has some soul. The corporate overpriced places aren’t great. The decline of small businesses continues and the wealth continues to accumulate to the few.
@@NS-hs6lt So true, at least they were unique. They'd all have their own little restaurants and their own decor. Modern truckstops are like walking into a Walgreens, just completely standardized across the country.
When I was a kid in the 90s my grandmother lived down the street from the truck-stop on what was Pumphrey's Farm. He was her landlord and she rented a cottage on his property. It was the CUTEST little cottage! She had it made up like a doll house in there. Mr. Pumphrey died from cancer and his widow and children did not want to take over the farm and sold the land to a housing developer. So grandma had to move. Broke her heart! The land now is completely unrecognizable with McMansions but was once fertile and quiet farmland. We miss it so!
When i was little my aunt lived right behind pumphrey’s in brightwood. we used to walk back and hang out with the horses. my cousin also fished pumphrey’s pond which is now located in shipley’s choice. pumphrey’s had a ton of land back there. at least 100 acres. i wish i could’ve seen the cottage. i spent so much time in those woods as a kid and teenager. it just went on forever and ever. now it’s ugly houses and roads. what a shame.
The whole place is like a museum. The diner and arcade were brilliant from the perspective of someone who remembers the 80s. I liked the fact that Dan didn't want to shoot a pixilated deer but instead opted for shooting dozens of humans instead 😂
Reminds me a little of DENNYS. These little places usually have the Best Food, I eat at Mom and Pop Restos quite a bit. Never disappointed and I like to support Small Business and Cottage Industy when ever I can. 😊
@@OddLeah I'm not much of a carpet person, but for some reason I love that purple carpet with the floor length purple curtains. 😅 It's giving me grandma's house vibes.
@@ashextraordinaire you need to send Trixie Mattel the link to the apartments. I can totally see her branching out to the east coast with that building. It's already perfect for displaying her Barbie collection!
I drive past some of these hotels all the time and have always wanted to do what you're doing and poke around but never had. Thanks for scratching a long standing itch for me!
Hell yeah Crabtowne! I’ve been driving past this restaurant on MD 100 and MD 3 for most of my life and have not once stepped foot inside. I gotta check that place out!!
I can't believe a guy approached you and ask if you need help. You must have looked like a mental patient to this guy, talking to and recording a deer statue
I died at the muffled “EXCUSE ME…” at the car window as Dan speaks to Bambi, and also at his “threshold of Versailles” commentary about the lion statue before that. Dan Bell is a national treasure.
1408...lol...a great movie about a guy spending the night in a haunted room... I'd love to see a night visit back to the White House Motel, room 1408 should you ever find the time Dan.. Thanks so much for sharing and I do hope everyone has a wonderful day or day night...
The MOTEL at video marker " 8:48 " gives me that BATES MOTEL Vibe. Some of these little places are Cool. That Game Arcade looks Epic ! I miss PINBALL MACHINES !
That's funny, I was thinking about that when he was riding through there, lol. I really liked the "Doll Apts" with that sort of mosaic brick pattern. One thing I didn't like was the discoloration of the brick under the AC units. They really should've considered either a normal central air system or at least a mini-split heat pump system where no air handler is used, instead the condensing element still sits outside but a separate wall-mounted blower/evaporator is used inside.
Dan, the Doll motel is fantastic. Owner is absolutely amazing and has maintained the small family owned motel very well over the years. Thanks for a cool video on so many familiar places.
@1:24 whenever I see those upholstered window benches that low-brow restaurants always have; I always think of Chief Wiggum, and Lou shooting the seat to deflate it, so Chief can get out.
I remember back in the 80s they used to be two arcade games in the local pharmacy it was space Invaders and asteroids. I would spend hours in there on the weekend and weeknights playing those games. Good memories
We used to hang out in that truck stop restaurant all the time. My favorite part was the old smoking section and non-smoking section used to be separated by a sign, and the parties at White Gables were epic, and I love Crabtowne USA!
Dan Bell playing Operation Wolf in Crab Towne ( dont forget the E) is possibly the coolest thing ever, thank you awesome Sir, and try the sequel Operation Thunderbolt, it rocks as well. Nostalgia rules and so does DB!#!
So cool to see that arcade still thriving! I was sort of watching this in the background but the moment you walked in and I heard a Dig Dug machine I was locked in lmao. Keep it up Dan
I googled The doll motel, surprised it was given good reviews, and stated the owner was very friendly. Photos show cozy little place. If all is actually true, it's a hidden gem.
The first truck stop is a classic oldy, the windows upstairs are sleeping rooms pre sleeper births in trucks, probably goes back to the 40s or earlier.
That truck stop kinda reminds me of a place called Arlene's Cafe & General Store in Elkton, Oregon. It's a really cool place to stop at on the way to the coast.
@@DanBellFilmIt oh I’ve just subscribed too that too. I’ve turned 3 of my friends onto you who are equally impressed! That adult film booth video was epic! The black light had us gagging! Well done my friend I feel like I’ve found a new friend 👍🤍
Dan your videos are so freaking impressive but I always feel like someone is gonna pop up and welllllll...scare you and us. I love these please do not stop!
9:40 I pass EVERY DAY to and from work and always wondered what that it would be like to stay their for atleast 1 night. I don't think they ever have a room vacant. 11:35 It is a functioning self carwash, but what keeps that place open, I'll honestly never know. Its so run down looking. Plus, you can't really see it from the road, it's too "tucked away"/hidden. 12:19 I'm always afriad of driving into that parkint lot because I feel like I'll burst into tears, it really is a depressing looking motel. (12:44 that white van has been their for quite along time and has not moved at all!) 13:40 The upkeep of this place is phenomenal. Who ever the owner is, definitely loves the place and takes good care of it. To me, those apartments are the perfect size. (I'm really interested in the house there in the back left corner.)
I had to laugh when you walked into that room at the white motel. I think it was the room number 1408. Remind me of the trailer Park boys when they bought the motel. Jay Roc walks in there and said, it smells like a tuna melt with a side order a shit😂
Thank you so much for all your work, especially the john waters spots bc i love him to pieces but would never feel safe going to Baltimore and seeing them myself alone
Hey! I am that chick from the coffee shop! 😂
I didn’t want to be a creeper and film you. lollll. i loved the italian soda!!!
What coffee shop was that? There was a truck stop. Is that it?
Hey, I've been looking for a chick in a coffee shop for years.........at least I don't run around filming people....
I literally just said to myself ‘ I wanna watch some Dan Bell’. And here it is. Yay.

Dan Bell is all his own entertainment genre.
"This building is dedicated to the truckers of America." Wow, what an honor!

Watching from Manila, Philippines. Been a fan of you Dan Bell since 2015!
This arcade is straight out of 1988. I love it!

Dan really is not joking when it comes to the inquisitive nature of Baltimoreans seeing someone filming something
A store where the inventory is so old it’s now retro
I feel like Bambi has seen some shit. 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂

Out of curiosity, I looked up the Doll Apartments on Apartment Guide, and they're absolutely as adorable as you're probably imagining.
The green tiled bathroom! The carpets! The BEDSPREADS 🤩
@@OddLeah ORANGE FORMICA COUNTERTOPS!!!
@@OddLeah I'm not much of a carpet person, but for some reason I love that purple carpet with the floor length purple curtains. 😅 It's giving me grandma's house vibes.
@@FlickerFlee it 100% causes serious rugburn with even a light brush. And it looks so fresh!

Lol Polyester! I still love the quote "Coitus Interruptus?!" when they find him in the motel.
AHHHAHAHA!! when She busted that door right off the hinges!!😂😂Cuddles right behind her lol 💀
Wow the Doll! Everyone backed in for a quick getaway
Love your nostalgic videos of the motels that have withstood the changing times. Always a pleasure to watch.♥️
Hell yeah Crabtowne! I’ve been driving past this restaurant on MD 100 and MD 3 for most of my life and have not once stepped foot inside. I gotta check that place out!!
It's so fun. Great pinball!
The stories that those chairs could tell if they could talk
I bet those chairs haven’t had a good cleaning since the 1960’s 🤮
Uh yeah I'm pretty sure those chairs would require therapy.
Lots & lots of therapy.
like we said in the car business, there is a ass for every seat!
I can't believe a guy approached you and ask if you need help. You must have looked like a mental patient to this guy, talking to and recording a deer statue
You would think people would be used to it by now.
LOL
I died at the muffled “EXCUSE ME…” at the car window as Dan speaks to Bambi, and also at his “threshold of Versailles” commentary about the lion statue before that.
Dan Bell is a national treasure.
That's quite impressive that they still have the original seats.
These places have some serious character.
Oh I’m so down for this tonight. Thanks Dan
What are you talking about he's not going live tonight
@@ramonmondragon1604 the video upload that I commented on. It’s night time EST lol
Two heaping scoops of AWESOME.
I love your pfp 😭
pinball machines cost as much as used cars nowadays
1408...lol...a great movie about a guy spending the night in a haunted room... I'd love to see a night visit back to the White House Motel, room 1408 should you ever find the time Dan.. Thanks so much for sharing and I do hope everyone has a wonderful day or day night...
you caught it too... sweet!
We've Only Just Begun.
loved the tiny motel, great locations & footage
I love the Honeymoon Sutie above the Office. That has serious Norman Bates vibes. They were definitely *listening* if not more...
That arcade is incredible it hasn’t changed in 40 years I bet! Love this whole video. Thanks Dan.
Yay! New Dan footage!!🫶

Love the 1970s sign💚Big arcade. When me and a friend worked at a motel we lived in the staff house like that..
Dan, the Doll motel is fantastic. Owner is absolutely amazing and has maintained the small family owned motel very well over the years. Thanks for a cool video on so many familiar places.
i need to go back and introduce myself. question..do they own the doll apts as well?
Same family, the apartments are owned by his sister I believe. The motel was originally opened by their parents back in the 50s.
Yes. Makes my day so much better when I get that Dan Bell notification!!!!🎉❤❤
@1:24 whenever I see those upholstered window benches that low-brow restaurants always have; I always think of Chief Wiggum, and Lou shooting the seat to deflate it, so Chief can get out.
That diner is a dream! Thanks for the great video Dan!
That diner at the beginning is awesome. Love the old school chairs and booths
1:10 I love Diners ❤
The Doll apartments are so so cute i want to live there toooo
I remember back in the 80s they used to be two arcade games in the local pharmacy it was space Invaders and asteroids. I would spend hours in there on the weekend and weeknights playing those games. Good memories
hey ya got asteroids? No but my dad got em, some times he cant even sit on the toilet! OK Name THAT movie!!!!!!!!
Thank you Dan !
wow, I literally grew up in this area. Seeing these again is crazy

First time watching Dan, we enjoyed it very much from Salem, MA.
welcome to the party pal!
Keep this stuff coming. Can't get enough of this content.
Sad to see the abandoned motel and house. Housing is so expensive I hate seeing places just wasting away like that. That last place was still fixable.
Awesome Dan. Made my afternoon.
luv the old truckstop diner so cool it looks like something out of a Clint Eastwood movie, Im digging the arcade brings me back to the 80s
"AYE, YOU NEED SOME HELP??!??" then the abrupt cut 😭
You ok?
This was great. Thanks Dan. 💫
lol "Delicious Brews, flirty views"
Awesome video, these locations were great!
Dan you’re the man! Always love a new video from you! ❤
Dan, my absolute favorite youtuber. Always look forward to watching you and your videos.
What?!?!! Someone just asked about my ADR Keychain today…. And now i see this! Many thanks for the work you do! Howdy from Galveston!!
That diner was cool!
Cheers, Dan
I love your drive along videos! Great content. Stay safe out there! ❤
So cool to see that arcade still thriving! I was sort of watching this in the background but the moment you walked in and I heard a Dig Dug machine I was locked in lmao. Keep it up Dan
Dan I love all of your videos! Keep up the good work and keeo exploring!
Oh yay! Love this channel ❤
all those early nintendo arcade cabs

Hope you're doing great Dan !
Hi Dan I really enjoyed your new video thank you for doing more videos and everything else you do hope you're well really big fan
SO glad you are not eating soap anymore! LOL
Thank you Dan. :)
That Doll motel and the apts look nice!
Such a great channel! Bingeing away
check out my other channel too @thisisdanbell. lots of more polished works there!

Love it!
I loved looking through the abandoned motel at the end. The terrifying stairway to the basement 😱
That arcade was legit, it looks like whoever is maintaining those takes pride in their work.
The Doll Motel looked well kept for an older place. To bad your not still doing the you know what.
I was just thinking I need a new Dan Bell video!
Those apartments are darling!! I'd love to peek inside
That Doll Motel looks like something Charles Phoenix would find
Dan your videos are so freaking impressive but I always feel like someone is gonna pop up and welllllll...scare you and us. I love these please do not stop!

funny about the doll hotel, is that ALL the cars BACKED INTO the parking spots. NO BODY DOES THAT!! SUSPICIOUS!!!!!

Love ya Dan!
flip flops in that shower
OMG, from the first milisecond of the video I knew where you were. The truck stop and White Gables Motel are pretty much in my backyard!!!
More sketchy motels Dan! You need more sketchy motels.
Thank you so much for all your work, especially the john waters spots bc i love him to pieces but would never feel safe going to Baltimore and seeing them myself alone
