John Dillinger Museum - Americana
In this Americana video, we visit the John Dillinger Museum in Crown Point, Indiana. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. Located in the Old Courthouse in the Historic downtown, there really isn't a more appropriate place for the John Dillinger Museum. If you are a fan of gangsters, John Dillinger, the 1930s, or a history buff, this is a definite must see.

driving through West Chester, Ohio and Mason, Ohio in August 2013
This shows I-75 north from exit 21 to exit 22, then Tylersville Road east until its junction with U.S. 42 north, then north on U.S. 42 until Kings Mills Rd. and then east on Kings Mills Road towards the grounds of the Western & Southern Open tennis tournament (Lindner Family Tennis Center) in mid-August of 2013. We got to return here in August of 2018 and drove this same route again and it looks more or less the same the same albeit there has been some development along Tylersville Rd. and some fields of soybeans seemed to be missing in 2018 from what had existed here in 2013.

California to New York: A Complete Road Trip
This is a complete road trip compilation from Santa Monica, California to New York City over eight different days from June-September, 2017 - all recorded in time-lapse at 4fps (nearly 100,000 frames total). Of the 3,253 miles (5,235 kilometers) driven, about 3 miles of this drive is missing, mostly in Colorado near Poncha Springs. Nearly all of this drive was done in daytime, but there is about 10 minutes of this video done in darkness in Arizona (about 1:00:00 to 1:10:00). The weather was good for the most part, except from Pennsylvania all the way to the Bronx, before clearing up in Manhattan. This trip also includes driving through the solar eclipse of August 21 in Nebraska (at about 3:30:00), as well as driving over the old Tappan Zee Bridge in upstate NY, which permanently closed a month later with the opening of the new Mario M Cuomo Bridge adjacent to it.
The states passed through are
