15:40 will illuminate me. Not many have. But if these buildings are not all original,

15:41 if these buildings are not all original,

15:42 if these buildings are not all original, they're at least constructed in a very

15:43 they're at least constructed in a very

15:43 they're at least constructed in a very original style. All right, so the old

15:46 original style. All right, so the old

15:46 original style. All right, so the old main entrance on the corner here is

15:49 main entrance on the corner here is

15:49 main entrance on the corner here is boarded up, although I can see some

15:50 boarded up, although I can see some

15:50 boarded up, although I can see some original window glass back there. Hey,

15:52 original window glass back there. Hey,

15:52 original window glass back there. Hey, here we go. This building was built in

15:53 here we go. This building was built in

15:54 here we go. This building was built in 1890, acted the late precidial period.

15:57 1890, acted the late precidial period.

15:57 1890, acted the late precidial period. It may have housed Spanish and Mexican

15:59 It may have housed Spanish and Mexican troops and also form part of the

16:01 troops and also form part of the

16:01 troops and also form part of the exterior precidio wall. So basically

16:03 exterior precidio wall. So basically

16:03 exterior precidio wall. So basically what I'm gleaning here is that a lot of

16:05 what I'm gleaning here is that a lot of

16:05 what I'm gleaning here is that a lot of the old original adobe buildings that

16:07 the old original adobe buildings that

16:07 the old original adobe buildings that were later abandoned or flooded out or

16:09 were later abandoned or flooded out or

16:09 were later abandoned or flooded out or whatever, decayed a little bit, they

16:11 whatever, decayed a little bit, they

16:11 whatever, decayed a little bit, they were all built on top of later. I think

16:13 were all built on top of later. I think

16:13 were all built on top of later. I think this was once a stage coach stop. By the

16:16 this was once a stage coach stop. By the

16:57 used as a bar and stuff like that. And

16:57 used as a bar and stuff like that. And that's probably what the writing over

16:58 that's probably what the writing over

17:00 the door is from. There are Christmas

17:00 the door is from. There are Christmas lights on the building. I don't know how

17:01 lights on the building. I don't know how

17:11 There are weeds growing between the screen door and the wooden doors here.

17:13 screen door and the wooden doors here.

17:14 screen door and the wooden doors here. So no idea if the building is still in

17:15 So no idea if the building is still in

17:15 So no idea if the building is still in use. It's pretty romantic looking. I

17:17 use. It's pretty romantic looking. I

17:17 use. It's pretty romantic looking. I have to say that. Maybe that's why they

17:19 have to say that. Maybe that's why they

17:19 have to say that. Maybe that's why they use it in Lolita. But if my memory

17:20 use it in Lolita. But if my memory

17:20 use it in Lolita. But if my memory serves from looking at some of the signs

17:23 serves from looking at some of the signs

17:23 serves from looking at some of the signs in the museums, I think this is where

17:24 in the museums, I think this is where

17:24 in the museums, I think this is where the old grist mill used to be. And so

17:26 the old grist mill used to be. And so

17:26 the old grist mill used to be. And so again, there were Spanish colonial

17:28 again, there were Spanish colonial

17:28 again, there were Spanish colonial buildings made of adobe underneath all

17:30 buildings made of adobe underneath all

17:30 buildings made of adobe underneath all this stuff. That's what I've learned so

17:32 this stuff. That's what I've learned so

17:32 this stuff. That's what I've learned so far. It's a very strange thing down here

17:34 far. It's a very strange thing down here

17:34 far. It's a very strange thing down here cuz it's so quiet. I can still hear the

17:36 cuz it's so quiet. I can still hear the

17:36 cuz it's so quiet. I can still hear the wacky waving arm flailing inflatable

17:39 wacky waving arm flailing inflatable

17:39 wacky waving arm flailing inflatable tube man that's way down there. And then

17:40 tube man that's way down there. And then

17:40 tube man that's way down there. And then the silence will suddenly be broken by

17:42 the silence will suddenly be broken by

17:42 the silence will suddenly be broken by wild packs of teenagers leaving the high

17:44 wild packs of teenagers leaving the high

17:44 wild packs of teenagers leaving the high school over here. And there's just one

17:45 school over here. And there's just one

17:45 school over here. And there's just one more building. some private property

17:49 more building. some private property

17:49 more building. some private property signs on it and some saran wrap over the

17:52 signs on it and some saran wrap over the

17:52 signs on it and some saran wrap over the door here. The walking tour map just

17:54 door here. The walking tour map just

17:57 says El Molino. See, none of the maps,

17:57 says El Molino. See, none of the maps, just to illustrate why this is so

17:59 just to illustrate why this is so

17:59 just to illustrate why this is so disjointed and confusing, none of them

18:01 disjointed and confusing, none of them

18:01 disjointed and confusing, none of them actually tell you what the modern

18:03 actually tell you what the modern

18:03 actually tell you what the modern buildings are and when they were built.

18:05 buildings are and when they were built.

18:05 buildings are and when they were built. This just tells you where the old

18:08 This just tells you where the old buildings were from the sort of Spanish

18:10 buildings were from the sort of Spanish

18:10 buildings were from the sort of Spanish period. So then you get to those spots

18:12 period. So then you get to those spots

18:14 and then you don't know if you're

18:14 and then you don't know if you're looking at the old Spanish building or

18:15 looking at the old Spanish building or

18:26 on my last day in Texas. This one just

18:26 on my last day in Texas. This one just said Elmino, right? Or whatever. So now

18:28 said Elmino, right? Or whatever. So now

19:37 the oldest and most confusing main

19:37 the oldest and most confusing main streets in America. right down here in

19:40 streets in America. right down here in

19:40 streets in America. right down here in San Alazario, Texas. It's been kind of

19:43 San Alazario, Texas. It's been kind of

19:43 San Alazario, Texas. It's been kind of fun to walk around and get confused.

19:44 fun to walk around and get confused.

19:44 fun to walk around and get confused. Normally, typically, I do a lot of

19:47 Normally, typically, I do a lot of

19:47 Normally, typically, I do a lot of research before I come to historical

19:49 research before I come to historical

19:49 research before I come to historical places. By the way, Elmolino, I believe,

19:50 places. By the way, Elmolino, I believe,

19:50 places. By the way, Elmolino, I believe, means the mill. And so, I guess that's

19:53 means the mill. And so, I guess that's

19:53 means the mill. And so, I guess that's why that building had that name. And you

19:55 why that building had that name. And you

19:55 why that building had that name. And you can see here there's some remnants from

19:58 can see here there's some remnants from

20:24 was going to say is normally I would do a bunch of research, but when coming to

20:25 a bunch of research, but when coming to

20:25 a bunch of research, but when coming to a town so historic, so old, going all

20:28 a town so historic, so old, going all

20:32 period with a mission church and everything like that, I just figured we

20:33 everything like that, I just figured we

20:33 everything like that, I just figured we could wing it and the signs would

20:34 could wing it and the signs would

20:34 could wing it and the signs would explain. Not that there aren't a lot of

20:36 explain. Not that there aren't a lot of

22:11 at the moment. But yeah, see that's the

22:11 at the moment. But yeah, see that's the uh funky part is when it's all built on

22:13 uh funky part is when it's all built on

22:13 uh funky part is when it's all built on top of each other here. How do you know

22:15 top of each other here. How do you know

22:15 top of each other here. How do you know which adobe walls are original, which

22:17 which adobe walls are original, which

22:17 which adobe walls are original, which are added later for decoration? That

22:19 are added later for decoration? That

22:19 are added later for decoration? That part's very hard to tell, but it is easy

22:21 part's very hard to tell, but it is easy

22:21 part's very hard to tell, but it is easy to stand out here and imagine the stage

22:23 to stand out here and imagine the stage

22:24 to stand out here and imagine the stage coaches rolling up to the place and uh

22:28 coaches rolling up to the place and uh

22:28 coaches rolling up to the place and uh and looking at the back of the church
