Your next trip through VA you should come though Manassas. We've got some great old homes, a nice old town area and tins of historic sites.

Hi Joe; Yes I also watched Marlin Perkins animal
show. I really liked it when I was a kid. And they went to Africa
and it was so interesting. And thank you for letting us know
about him being from there. I learn so much from your travel videos.
Oh and in Joplin the "Barrow gang" was not suspected of being who they
were. The cops were totally unprepared. The suspicion was they were
bootleggers as the sign there says. So actually the cops went there initially
to ask the renters (the "Barrow gang") to stop being so noisy and also to find out
for sure what it was all about. It was sort of strange that Bonnie and Clyde being
there, the possibility never crossed their minds. Of course communication was a
lot less up to date back then.

🎉yay Marlon Perkins😮😮

Thank you😍

Said is so mad.

No he don’t work for me.

Perkins and Jim...they were funny in retrospect. Jim risked dangers and Marlin alerted and warned us about how important it was to be cautious and alert when interacting with dangerous beast.

I grew up in Lees Summit, Missouri. Cole Younger the famous outlaw lived out the last 12 years of his life in Lees Summit as a preacher and is buried in the old Lees Summit cemetery. The town got its name from a doctor who lived there and practiced medicine in the Civil War by the name of Pleasant John Graves Lea. He was shot and killed in Lees Summit during the Civil War. There is a Pleasant Lee grade school in town named in his honor. He is buried in the Lees Summit Historical Cemetery. The town was named Lea Summit, but due to a misspelling by the railroad the name was shown as Lee's Summit.

Marlin Perkins, I was a big fan too.

Joplin got slammed hard from the 2013 tornado outbreak, I am not sure what parts but it was a massive F5.

The commander was the future General Grant.

Watching from New Zealand your mural of well known people is awesome the name Janet Kavandi l recognized as an astronaut from memory very cool. And wild kingdom l watched as well

$61,000 for that house on the corner of college Street. However there are some very expensive ones there

Its crazy how these smaller towns were largely saved from the destruction of urban renewal due to lack of money. Joplin on the other hand, went absolutely crazy with bulldozing our downtown to make way for parking, which imo is what lends to a lot of ugliness i see in Joplin on a daily basis.

The smaller towns have all the traffic calming measures i wish Joplin had.

So while you were in Joplin, did you go see the spook light?

PLEASE!!!! Stop saying "anyway" !!!!!!!!!

That courthouse is very identical to the other one in Port Arthur, Texas. Interesting.

Jasper County has 2 county court houses. The one in Carthage and one in Joplin. Joplin was also the home of Dennis Weaver and Bob Cummings as well as Langston Hughes, the famous songwriter. You also forgot to mention that the famous outlaw, Bell Starr was born and raised in Carthage.

I used to live in Joplin. We moved away a year before the tornado. I sure miss Fred & Red's "spaghetti red".

Maybe someone else has posted it but the white house in College Street in Lamar was/is up for 61 000 usd.

Extra women is almost always women over 45, Women vs. Men below that age theres always more men ( than women ) in the usa most of the time if you look closer into the stats.

Dude, you married up. lol

Been to Jasper many times as a kid. You should check out Waco

I loved to watch wild Kingdom ❤

Wild Kingdom! I watched it religiously as well.

Thanks for helping those of us who can't afford to travel to see the fine small towns of our nation. Much appreciated.

I was stationed in Joplin on canvassing duty for Army recruiting in 1974 and i can't remember where it is but you missed a scenic point. There was a building that had bullet pockmarks on the front from a battle between the Barrow gang and the police. Our office as weĺl as the Marines office was kitty corner from the Greyhound bus terminal back then, but that has been 49 years ago and things have really changed down there.

That house almost looks like a Sears mail order house.

I agree with you, Joey, about theatres. I retired from Houston to a couple of hours from St Louis. I enjoy the small Illinois town. I continue to follow your travels. You and Nicole. Love ❤

I highly doubt Joplin is a forgotten town.

Joe and Nic,
Waco and Shiner, a fantastic combination.
That bridge reminds me of the Brooklyn Bridge, built
around 1882,
Of course no cattle or cowboys , but I'll gladly sell it to you:)
I really enjoyed this one, it's a change from those tiny impoverished places.

Cheers,
Rik Spector

Marlon Perkins and the other guy always found a way to tie a wounded gazelle or a watering hole, into insurance.

I lived in Joplin for about a year then moved a few miles north to the little town of Oronogo. Bonnie and Clyde robbed the bank that once stood in the old downtown square. The James/ Younger gang robbed it before them. Lots of history in the area. Lots of old mine shafts under the entire region.

I live near West Plains, so much history and abandoned barns, homes even hospitals!

Did you note the guys name at Boots Court? He was awesome

Your channel seems like it would be a really good resource for Hollywood location scouters!!!! I Can totally see the motel in a horror film or something

Lamar was a sundown town sadly

Just a note on health: Tilapia is a bad choice due the high levels of contaminants, such as, mercury, PCB’s and Dioxin! You will probably want to avoid this fish as well as Swai and Basa! I enjoy your travel videos. One other note, Marlin Perkins was the Director of the Famous St. Louis Zoo. As a preeminent Zoologist he accompanied Sir Edmond Hilary to Mount Everest , in search of the Yeti also known as the Abominable Snow man!😀👍

You should read about the bleeding Kansas history of which you will read about the many little battles pre civil war that are all related to the war

Could you explain the term children’s poverty.

I have family in Lamar and all over that area.

Crime and children problems. Are you nuts? Visit any urban area if you want crime and children in trouble.

Yip not only Wild Kingdom but Disney used to come on too. Loved those old shows like Daniel Boone.

Watched Wild Kingdom too as a child❤
