When you opened the video, I immediately recognized Bradley’s. Starting in 2005 our church youth would come down and help improve people’s houses as best we could. On our first trip down, we painted the house behind one seen at 9:54 timestamp. Behind the white one with the red shutters. We bunked at the Survival Center. We became hreat friends with the Simpsons. Becky Simpson was Bobby’s wife. Her maiden name was Day. Believe she had a twin brothrr named Hiram. Both Bobby and Becky have been called home but I stay in touch with their grandson Bobby Doyle Rowlett. Used to visit with his son Robert when we were in the area. Good people in this neck of the woods. Sadly Covid ended the trips and eventually took Bobby’s life. Thanks for the memory jog. My wife and I need to get back there soon .
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
Groovy - cool - fantastic + marvelous 😢
Those little stores are fantastic! Each little town in Harlan County has such a great character. Coyotes do a wonderful job of sharing it with us❤❤
Thank you CL!
Its so nice when you have good memories of your childhood, when I think back to playing in the woods and running around the neighborhood and picking out penny candy out the corner store I am amazed how fast time goes by. Thanks for taking the time to share your memories.
Thank you
Thank you for bringing back memories of my childhood. Those were the best times of my life.
You're welcome
I went to school there too but when I went there the store was where the post office is now Mabel and Raymond day ran it
Been by there many many times .live in lee co .and worked in bell co. Always did like the area.

I’m glad she is discussing memories of the past, and how we all cherish our own past.
As for the school, thank you for not converting this video into a paranormal quest to see if that school is haunted.
And, she just HAPPENS to catch a shadow move, or a voice whispering “Get out!”
😁😁😁🇺🇸👨🏻🦳 No Slapped Ham.
Actually we never convert our videos into anything except what they are. If they're about a place that people says is haunted or in the case of the cemetery in barbourville is the most haunted cemetery in Kentucky then that's part of what they are and we mention it and talk about it and usually humorously because we don't take that stuff all too seriously but if it is part of a certain places history we're not going to hide the history no more than we're going to add to the history. We simply report the historical facts and what people say about a place. Occasionally we'll say "it's spooky here" I don't think that's converting the video into a paranormal investigation as we have none of the equipment nor do we plan on acquiring any of the equipment to do paranormal investigations.
I grew up in central Alabama during the last of the ‘60s, and throughout the 1970s. My family lived about ten miles north of Montgomery, where I was raised in Elmore County.
I remember those old country stores out in the middle of nowhere. And those ancient gas stations that had: 1) a mechanic on duty, and 2) a black hose on the ground that would “bing-bing” when you drove over it.
The kindergarten school I graduated from in 1970 has since been torn down. Both the elementary and middle schools in Millbrook, Alabama where I attended were closed down years ago.
By the way, in kindergarten, we students had to memorize and recite the Lord’s Prayer, and the Pledge of Allegiance.
@@IgnitedCoyote I was being a little facetious. I like these outdoor videos of old towns, the buildings’ history, U.S. Highways, landmarks, etc.
I just try to throw in some humor and such. My political comments on videos of Joe Biden--not so nice.
We're hoping to be able to get out soon and do more videos of historical places that we've not done before but my wife is the only caregiver for her dad so it's going to take a little planning. Thanks and God bless.
@@IgnitedCoyote Sounds good, family first. I wish you the best with being safe out there.
In 61 days, the Crimson Tide will begin another season of terror in NCAA-Div I, and the SEC.👨🏻🦳😁🇺🇸🐘
i'm from the east-central part of KY, lived in Clark county most of my life but i'm in Estill county in the mountains now :) i absolutely love Kentucky. fascinating history, people and culture, the land is absolutely gorgeous. Appalachia is just the best place. thanks for sharing, always great to see different parts of my home state :)
My Uncle Doc used to say " Hotter than a two dollar pistol"....time capsules in schools are fairly common, usually under the sign out front .
Love yalls videos ahh the memories RC Cola and Moon Pie, so good changed to Mountain Dew when they came out its hot here in NC too thought yall were supposed to be cool in KY, haha, the country store near my house here in the country is still standing but not looking too good its been closed for many years but the sweet lady that ran it is still with us in her 90's now thanks for the memories and the video yall take care👍👍
How about R.C.Cola and putting peanuts in them.I remember buying one for a nickel.
Thanks for watching
I love the videos you guys produce! I feel the same way when I go home and see my Elementary school, which still operates as a school, but it looks tiny to me now! It is Hot in Eastern North Carolina too!! Thanks for sharing!!

My Grandma used to say" I'm hotter than a rat in a wool sock" and I can't say what my Grandpa always said but it involved a billy goat !!😂 Lord I sure do miss both of my Grandparents !!! Enjoyed Y'alls video as I always enjoy anything to do with the Appalachian people, Y'alls accents make me so homesick !! I'm from Johnson County !!
We know the one about the billy goat
@@IgnitedCoyote LOL
Royal Crown Cola (RC) is my drink of choice! Tastes way better imo than Coca Cola. I remember when it was a choice on many menus at restaurants, way back before all the Chain Restaurants started to take over. I have distant kin folk in Harlan County KY, the Sewells of that area are related to me. 😇
Hey Mr and Mrs coyote hope you are doing well ¡
Thank you Mark, hope you're well.
Nice video guys,
Have a blessed week.
JT

Did you guys get Sundrop (Golden Girl Cola)? I drank that in Winchester, Tenn. We also had RC (Royal Crown Cola), too.
Yes
Very nice video 👍👍👍❤❤❤
Thank you very much!
Fun seeing American Life !
Thanks for watching Tom.
