    The wires on the road count the number of cars, for traffic studies

    • @alien_industries3803
      @alien_industries3803 Před 7 lety +6

      not only counting but also the length of vehicle and its speed

    • @Averyindex0
      @Averyindex0 Před 7 lety +2

      You actually want to hit those wires on the road as fast as you can. They are required to set the speed limits based on the traffic studies. You can get out of speeding tickets if a traffic study hasn't been performed and the speed limit set based on the study. FYI

      + The Ceiling Fan Stop. We got em here in Australia too mate, & they count the cars & they note the speeds & they collect all this information & still they don't seem to be able to get rid of the traffic jams! :))

      The studies can be used for things like whether or not a traffic light or stop sign is needed.

    Adam, I am currently serving as Treasurer of my lodge. The stage is the "East" and that is where the Master of the Lodge (president) sits. The Secretary and Treasurer will sit on either side of him and that is how they conduct business meetings and initiations of new members. Other officers would sit around the lodge room in specific places. All of it has symbolic significance in the organization.

So thank you so much for going here!! I am sending Link to my dad who hopefully can watch as well, he has been there several times. My Grandfather was a WW2 vet , he worked in the coal mines and also was a Engineer on the railroad but I don't know which one, so thank you a million times !!!! What a blessing you have given to me today!!!

    It is wonderful the way they are renovating that old theater nothing wrong in keeping the beauty & charm of days gone by. That dark room took me back! , our local theater had one of those back when I was a kid. Amazing the number of stars that visited the place & some very well known ones too. Would have loved to have seen Trigger come down the aisle & up on to the stage! Those stars back then were all class!

    Adam if you ever get a chance, this is where my grandfather was born and raised. His father, my great grandfather, was the most influential doctor in the town. They actually named the hospital after him, it has since changed but it used to be called the, "Emmett memorial hospital". Anyways his estate is a gorgeous old plantation home and has been turned into a B&B called, "Hillcrest" it's very ritzy and if you ever wanted to stay there for a night you should and I'll give them a heads up. I may be able to get you a night for free.

  • @rbateman25

    "Take Me Home, Country Roads"
    Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
    Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze.
    Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
    West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads.
    All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
    Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.
    Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
    West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads.
    I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away.
    And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.
    Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
    West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads.
    Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
    West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
    Take me home now, country roads,
    Take me home now, country roads.

    Adam, that "dark room" exit is how most UK theatres are built. They don't have a straight out exit/entrance so you never flood the theatre with light at anytime (excepting for fire door only exits which go directly to the street)

    Adam, the "speed trap" is actually a traffic counter. It works the way the old bells at the gas station worked. Driving over them, increases the air pressure momentarily in the hose and advances the counter. They are used by municipalities and other governments to assist with budgeting and maintenance for roads.

    Used to visit Clifton Forge a good bit as a kid, the Mor Market actually used to be a 7-11, the owner of that market used to be the mayor of the town and unfortunately passed away a few years back, sad to see it closed now. I have a lot of fond memories of that old town and its gothic style structures. Keep up the good work Adam, btw check out Staunton, VA if you get the chance its a pretty old and interesting town as well.

    If you get a chance to come to Detroit, you should check out our Masonic Temple. It is the largest in the world. I have seen many awesome Broadway touring shows there. Back in the 90's my sister & I saw The Who's Tommy. When we went to the restroom at intermission we got lost going back to our seats & ended up in another function with some not so happy Mason's that 2 teenaged girls somehow just stumbled into their festivities lol. That place is massive! But it is gorgeous! And the lower level is the home of Detroit Roller Derby lol.

    If you like old theaters, you should definitely check out the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville PA during Blobfest. This was the theater used in the famous scene at the end of the movie, where the blob comes out of the projector room, into the audience. They celebrate this once a year with a festival, and they even have a driving tour brochure of all of the filming sites in the area. They run the film, and have other "B" rated Sci-Fi films during the festival, and a "run-out", where the audience runs into the street, recreating the scene from the movie. There is music, celebrities (they had the B9 robot and "Judy" from Lost in Space) and a costume contest in addition to the street fair. The town is a stones-throw from Valley Forge, and we had a great time!

    Great theater restoration and video comparisons from days gone by. But, my favorite is Adam singing at the waterfall views, 😂👊

    A lot of really good stuff in today's vlog, Adam. The drone shots were truly epic. Not sure about the injured animal I kept hearing in the background though. ;-)

    Adam head to Radford VA. It's a small quiet hamlet with lots of great views of the area. Used to live there many moons ago, still have friends there.
