    1. What a quite atmosphere. The area near the road is empty. No cruel crowds. Everything looks so serene, rustic and honest. Now it distinctly giving signs that returning to the past may be a probability in near future.

    2. MY GRANDPARENTS WERE AROUND 5 OR 10 YEARS OLD IN VIRGINIA. HE WENT AND WORKED FOR THE RAILROAD. GRANDMOTHER CAME FROM HARRISONBURG, VIRGINIA. SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL FULL BLOODED CHEROKEE INDIAN. MISS ALL MY LOVE ONES AND FAMILY.

    3. We become obsessed with these videos from other times, it's like a trip to the past that we've never seen, but sometimes it's hard to watch these videos even though we like to watch them because those people ceased to exist a long time ago, then we realize at that moment that life is very short, we have to take advantage of the time with our loved ones because today we are here alive and we don't know what will happen tomorrow.

    4. 🤔 I think I’ve been there – or very near that region….but it was a very long time ago. Like maybe 150 years ago, give or take a decade or two. I know, I know, it sounds very strange. I don’t have any specific memories – just this intuition or connection….all my life I have had this feeling. It’s not constantly on my mind – comes and goes – it’s not an obsession. But somehow I feel like I lived a lifetime there.
