    I was born there too. I also remember your family greenhouse. My mom and I knew your grandma and uncle from attending local auctions. I was hoping The Castle would re-open as a theater. What a shame that we lost both of our movie venues -- Castle and Sky-vue. I'm from the Hagerstown & Economy areas. But my mom was born and raised in New Castle. I'm glad Cris the Girl enjoyed Indiana.

    Aww that tugged at my heart strings seeing some of the places that meant so much to you. Your Mom looks great! Safe travels, take care.
  • You are lucky Jay that your hometown theatre is still standing. Mine are all gone. There is something about movies and music that play such a big part in our young lives and make it so much fun to relive those memories! Our huge stand alone theatre called the Cina Capri, closed in 1997. It was tore down to put up a high rise building. I saw Star Wars there along with many other classics when I was a child! The last movie shown there was Titanic. I was able to take my daughter to see it before it closed and we both have that wonderful memory to keep with us forever! Many years later a local theatre owner rebuilt the Cina Capri as part of a 24 screen multiplex. Not quite as grand or as memorable as the original, but a worthy effort. My daughter and I just watched Close Encounters of the Third Kind for her first time. Movies hold the key to the wonder and imagination that we all have as children and you can always unlock it again just by rewatching the movie or seeing the old theatre you saw it in! Thanks for pulling those memories out of me! You're the best!

    Thank You for taking us back in time. It's very interesting how similar it all is my hometown. My best friends father also was the projectionist at our theater. We saw the Godfather about every night for weeks. Also Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It's great that you got to see your family and show all this to Cris. Be safe busy friends..lol
  • Jay, I always enjoy seeing vloggers hometown videos. This was a very precious video man. You have a rich history where you're from. Cherish it and continue to cherish it. So cool you got to share your roots with Cris. I forget the Indianapolis is such an underrated city. I remember going to downtown Indy a couple times when I was in the marching band when my school did marching band competitions at the former Indianapolis Colts stadium. I would love to spend more time in Indy. Awesome vlog man. You and Cris have a good one. Can't wait to see the next one.
  • Great video Jay! Thanks for showing us your home stomping grounds.
  • Thanks for sharing Jay. I hope you video when the Castle theater reopens. I bet Cris would love to have a green house like that. Sorry to hear about your Grandma. This video was a lot of fun. Bet it was great returning to your old school in a Camero. 😊 Take care Jay.
  • Thank you all for sharing such a beautiful day , and taking us with you! I love seeing where you came from!

    Really enjoyed your trip down Memory road Tampa nice to see mom jay 👍
  • My grandpa in Virginia had a greenhouse too. He would be so proud of me with my beautiful plants which I credit to watching Cris.
  • My dad was born in Indianapolis, they moved to California when he was 10. He is 85 now. We visited relatives there when I was around 7 and they took us on a van ride around the Indy 500 racetrack. I still remember it! Dad still never misses watching the race on TV. You definitely need to watch Cars. So well done. My grandpa was a milkman when they lived there. My great uncle also worked for a dairy. I remember eating some great ice cream when we were there!
  • Always love seeing people share their memories, and nostalgic stuff. Also, your Mom is so pretty! Her hair is amazing!
