- Ohio! I've landed in the Buckeye state to begin a road trip back home to California, traveling down through Ohio and seeing some of its Epic Wonders! The epic Neon of the American Sign Museum (Including some Disneyland neighborhood memorabilia) - the World's OLDEST Traffic light, and the epic, real life Hall of Justice! Come along with me, my super friends, as we travel from the Statehouse to the Kenner headquarters, past the world's largest gavel and the national guard troops, burning miles from Columbus to Cincinnati, and into Kentucky!

I will say as someone from Ohio, you shouldâve seen the âHell Is Realâ sign in Mount Sterling, Ohio. If youâre from Ohio, you what Iâm talking about. Itâs a classicđ
I was just in Cleveland this last October
You missed the A Christmas story house museum!
Mahalo.... I'm going to Ohio in a week. Can't wait to get away from my blue state. Going for freedom, fun & adventure. Love from Honolulu. Ali
What a great video Justin! That sign museum was incredible. I'm originally from Columbus, so this was a journey down memory lane. Next time you're there, I recommend you check out COSI the science museum, where they have a cool Cracker Jack museum inside. There also used to be an amazing tiki restaurant called The Kahiki, but I think it closed years ago. Check it out!!
Iâm from Ohio and did not even know about the sign museum. Thatâs so cool! I love neon signs, Iâll have to plan a visit.
In Plainfield, IN thereâs a Mac the night playing the piano in the lobby of McDonaldâs. I discovered him on a road trip a few years ago. Heâs one of my favorite McDonaldâs characters. Road trips are amazing for that. Full of surprises.
I totally remember Satellite liquor and Kona lanes was right up the street from me. How random the signs are in Ohio now.
Great video! When visiting the old train terminal you were also steps from the Cincinnati Reds original homesite, Crosley Field! Opened in 1912 and the Reds' home until 1970.
Justin was in my state. Such a brush with Greatness!
What in the world!? How did I live in Ohio for 45 years and never see that giant Ronald McDonald set!!
Thanks Justin! What a great unexpected visit to Ohio! Cute puppy! Wow! I appreciate your visit to the sign museum ! Memories! I do remember the satellite neon signs. There was one for a laundry mat or dry cleaners. I do remember the Kona Lanes from Costa Mesa. My surprise that nearly brought tears to my eyes was the Colonial Dairy sign! I grew up around the corner of Colonial Dairy in Santa Ana. I always loved seeing the sign lit up at night. I had a milk bottle from the dairy that some how got lost. Ooh! How I missed the fresh milk and Mother's Pride soda they carried. Thanks again Justin and please stay safe!
How could you go to Ohio and not go to Jungle Jim's? That sign museum was so great.
The American Sign Museum in Cincinnati looks so wonderful! I have to get myself there someday! Iâm so glad you took the time to visit one of the most unique museums of historic signage ever! Cheers from Old Highway 66!
I don't remember the satellite sign, but the Kona Lanes sign took me back. I used to spend a lot of time in the bowling alley, and even more time in the attached diner. Ahhhh. Nostalgia!
Omg! I remember the Kona Lanes!!!!!!! The Satellite sign, kind of. But the Kona Lanes! Yes! đđ„°
Yes, that's a working neon shop that does work for the museum and external clients around town. My father-in-law retired from a local sign shop and they had all their neon work done there at the museum shop.
Moved from California to Cincinnati for work. Took my residents on a trip to the Sign Museum and flipped out when I saw THE Satellite too. Just like you, I became emotional. You said it perfectly. It was like seeing an old friend. My residents thought I was nuts. Grew up in the Inland Empire and this place had the Carpeteria man, I sang the old jingle and the Kona Lanes sign. I totally feel you on this one.
I lived liked 5 blocks from the Cincinnati Museum Center and I only just now realized the Hall of Justice was based on it. I watched so much Super Friends when it reran on Cartoon Network.
If that was the giant scary Ronald at I-71 & Rt 36-37, welcome to the neighborhood! Thanks for the tour of downtown Columbus, my adopted home.
Good coverage of Ohio. The "Hall of Justice" was actually built to be a train station in the early 1930s similar to the architecture style of grand train stations of the time (Grand Central Station). It really is grand when you go in with the Art Deco style and murals that line the upper area. I was last there 2017 for a Star Wars exhibit that featured the clothing of all Star Wars films up to that time. It was a tour but our stop had a unique Kenner exhibit that had history of the company but featured mostly Star Wars toy sets from the original trilogy.
The answer to Hall of Justice is they sent an artist to make reference art. At the time it had fallen into disrepair and was being used as a coat store. Thank goodness they rescued it for community use!
Another fun fact: There was a Sea World in Ohio (around Cleveland) until 2001. It was built before the Orlando location and they used to ship the dolphins and orcas to the coast during the off season.
Hope you enjoy(ed) Kentucky.
It was also great to see the old Carpeteria genie at the end!
I also vividly remember the old Satellite Shopland in Anaheim and mourned the sign's removal. I just always assumed that the sign had been scrapped, but how cool that it's been restored and is on display at a museum!
No way!! The Hall of Justice???I canât wait until you go into that building! Thanks also for making me laugh today. I needed that.
Iâm so glad someone is preserving those old signs! Thanks for the new adventure and continued inspiration. That place is now on my bucket list.
That neon museum is really cool. I grew up in Anaheim just north of Disneyland and I remember that Satellite sign. Katella used to have all kinds of cool old signs before the resort master plan changed everything to look similar. Stay safe out there.
Loved Super Friends growing up and now living in Huntsville, Al it was great to see the old McDonald's sign even though that was from before I lived here. My other half remembers it well. He grew up here. And my Mom was from Ohio so great memories all around today.
Omg! Love it ! You were right by my house! Wish you had more time in Columbus ! Lots of cool shops, great food and our Ohio state campus ! Cleveland too! Lots of fun stuff and the rock hall! We love the sign museum and I posted the sign you love to my Disney group and people loved it too! So cool to see you here ! If you come back weâre buying dinner and taking you to the arcades!đ
I miss Ohio . I was from Marion .home yep snow âïžHi Ohio and everyone there.Thank you Justin for filming,
Great Video đ That is so nice your brought your Uncle a puppy đ Sending Your Uncle Continued Healing and Good Health đđđ and The Sign museum was too cool! The retro signs my Mom and I were calling out when we saw them brought back so many memories đ
I have installed signs 25 years or more and people always wanted them as high as possible and I would warn them the higher they are the smaller they look.
The Cincinnati Garden sign actually used to be the sign over one of Cincinnati's oldest arenas. The Cincinnati Royals professional basketball team used to play there. I worked there in college for concerts and special events. It was torn down a couple of years ago.
That IS so cool to find that Satellite sign.. I remember it and the Kona Lanes.. They need to be brought back home to Anaheim! đ„đđ
That train station had over 200 passenger trains a day passing though it back in its time.
Really enjoyed this random vlog. Itâs great to hear Justin get so excited about things, the signs in this vlog, it makes me happy. Xx
Cincinnati is the best with unique places to go! I wonât be able to go to union terminal without thinking of the hall of justice now. Ha! Glad you enjoyed my home town!
Always excited for a new video. Thanks for bringing us along.
6:46 That old traffic lights reminds me of the police-bot on Wall-E!
Hah! The Kona Lanes sign was from my old neighborhood in Costa Mesa. I'm very happy to see that it survived the demolition, at least partially.
Your back, at your best touring, thanks for the ride. I hope you take us with you on the trip home.
This is epic! Awesome Justin!
Great video! As a Ohio boy , I got great memories of Union terminal and also my mom was friends with some one who actually worked at Kenner . Needless to say I got alot of Star Wars toys when I was a kid, even stuff before they were released in stores !
Super great information about Ohio , Justin thanks !
The sign museum looks awesome. So many cool old signs. I completely understand getting emotional about an icon from your youth. To tell you the truth, I get emotional every time I see the entrance sign at Disney World. Great channel. Keep up the great work. đđ
Awesome video Justin! Love the sign museum & the Hall of Justice is very cool! Never knew so many fun things were in my state.
ALL OF THOSE SIGNS LOOK COOL!
I live here. Wish I could have met you. Glad you enjoyed the sign museum. There is a bar on Eastern Ave. that has a large amount of neon lights. They have a lot of old ones and actually last year just sent some they had to the museum. Love your videos. Be safe. Travel safe and hug Ally when you get home. Thanks for taking me with you. Love you guys! Scleep well!
You make the BEST videos ever. Entertaining, funny, informative and just plain fun. Thank you.
You mean we donât have to fly up to the Hall of Justice! Excellent share. Thank you.
Thanks for the Super Friends and Kenner shout out!
That was EPIC! Thanks Justin.
Wonderful slice of Americana at the old sign museum đ Their electricity bill must be huge! Thanks for the surprise road trip Justin đ
Wow! Love the sign museum! (and the puppy)
Great video Justin the old signs were awesome and I love your traffic light you got as a souvenir and I also liked the Hall of Justice building it really had a cool look to it so all and all it was a great day and I look forward to more fun adventure with you Justin so with that being said peace âźïž love â€ïž and happiness to you and Iâll see you on the next vlog adventure also please be safe out there
Always fun to see you in museums! Nice show
Great job Justin!
I never expected to see that last location, and the sign museum was great. Thanks for sharing!
Loved all the sights, especially the train station and the neon sign museum. Thanks Justin.
Great seeing ya back on the road
Enjoyed the episode and I'm excited to see what you've got on Kentucky since I live there!
I remember the Satellite Liquor sign! I lived in two places near there at Katella and Haster in the late 1980s.
FYI, Magicland Market used to be called....you guessed it! Satellite Market. Del Taco used to be right across Katella!
I learned my lesson a long time ago. I do not tell my children where NOT to go - because invariably that is one of the first places they will go. Well, at least you got out of there before any trouble might have started.
Giant Ronald McDonald Statue
Justin: âwhat would you call this?
Me: a SICK PIC SELFIE!!
Fascinating seeing the Hall of Justice!
Justin - thank you for what you're doing. Keep up the incredible work! Proud to be a subscriber for a long time now.
That sign museum is epic! Dude, I want them all.
Wow, you were in my home state. I moved away 31 years ago this week, in fact. I went to college in Cincinnati and have been to Columbus many times. I never knew about the gavel or the sign museum. I've never been to Ashville either. So much I never knew about my birth state. Cool-ness!
Love that sign museum absolutely fantastic very random!
Were so excited that you were in Cincinnati!!!! We have never been to the sign museum, but we will have to check it out sometime. I wish you could have walked into union terminal just to check out the lobby. So beautiful and so much history! We recommend going through the Cincinnati history museum next time you are at union terminal. If you ever come back you need to check out Kings Island, Coney Island, Skyline Chili and Jungle Jim's (which we think you will LOVE!!) We really enjoyed this video!
American Signs Museum looks so cool. i had Nooo Idea. Thanks for showing us this spot
Glad to see you back on the road. Loved the Ohio places you stopped at. Forgot all about the train station there looking like the Justic League building. I to remember the spiral ship looking thing above liquor store. Amazing it ended up in Ohio. Can't wait to see the cool stuff you find in Kentucky. There is three to four wacky places I am hoping you found while going through Kentucky ......
Another great episode!
Glad to see you back on the road.
Great find. I spent some of my childhood in Vegas so naturally signage is so cool to me.
OMG! Radical homes!!!!!! Here We GO!!!!!!
Good to see you back at it again.
Very cool video. I work for a company (YESCO) that's been in business for 100 years that probably fabricated a lot of these signs back in the day. Thanks for sharing this!!
Welcome to Ohio ! Im glad you finally made it to the sign museum, we love that place. Also the globe with the neon cars has bullet holes .
This was a good show. Good pacing and lots of blinkin' lights.
Around the corner from the big gavel is The Topiary Park. A copy of the impressionist painting "A Day in the Park".
You will need a friend to visit the Museum whispering water fountains.
Kenner street is immediately north of the Museum parking lot you were in. Kenner Co. is but a memory.
The Kroger building has always been The Kroger Building. It was covered in ugly blue and white panels, but that is fixed.
Out in the street median in front of Kroger is the entrance to the abandoned Cincy Subway. You should make an appointment to see it next time thru.
Peace
Enjoy Ohio. I used to live in Dayton Ohio. There are cool places and great places to eat.
...gotta luv Ronald and the ole school gang. +1 toy đ nice mission out and about...
I live in Ohio and have always wanted to go to the sign museum. A good place for some sick pics lol! Wish I would of known you were in town, it would have been cool to say hello. Thanks for the video!
Justin, you always find the cool stuff to show. The Ronald McDonald and friends statue is epic. I love McDonald Mascots and wish they still used them. Stay safe on your road trip home.
Wow, that sign museum was awesome. So great that somewhere is preserving all that beautiful history.
Good to see you back on the road
Dude, your a true patriot. The love you have for seeing this country and everything it offers is amazing. Safe travels buddy! Keep up the great work!
What in the world! You were in my town! Be safe and have a great time!!
It's so great to see Randomland Adventures again.
Thank you for the tour. Originally I am from Columbus but now live in Leesburg Fl. Growing up we often drove through Ashville. The traffic light was always a sight we had to see. I wondered what had happened to it. Like so many of your videos you have entertained and educated us. Thank you for this trip down Memory Lane
Awesome video!
Thank GOD!!! We missed your road trip videos
Great vlog!! Never saw any of these sights on my own road trip in Ohio! ha
Great video!
Thank you for the shoutout!!!!!!! Also very jealous. I want to see this place some day.
That sign museum is cool, and just like you found something cool from your past there, I saw something cool from my past there. The welcome sign with the guy wearing a turbon? That used to be the Carpeteria sign for the Carpeteria store in Reno Nevada. It no longer holds a carpet with the store name on the front, but that is definitely the sign I saw for a long time in my childhood through my teenage years. Now I have to see this museum myself!
This was so good! I love anywhere you go! You have inspired a need for a road trip. I have not done one since 1972 when I went from CA to Chicago and Cleveland to see family. We traveled back through Canada to Southern California I was 13 lol.
Been watching your channel for years. Keep up the great content.
Loved the Sign Museum! Now I need to go see it for myself!
"A little" too early haha Love it
That is so awesome!! I didnât even know that we have a Sign Museum in Cincinnati đ± I only live a hour away from Cinci!! Wish I would have known you were close byđ€ Iâm glad you enjoyed my home stateđđ and showed me things I didnât even know we had lol
I remember the satellite sign. There were similar in orange but what that sign reminds me of, is the Satellite Market in downtown Orange. Good memories of the circle and taking art classes in the basement of Johnson's Paint, just south of the circle. Last time I looked it was an antique store.
