- 1:13Speaker 3: I know you guys are wondering, but non-alcoholic. Bummer.
- 1:16Speaker 1: We can bring our own.
- 1:17Speaker 3: And then we take you to a few stops downtown.
- 1:21Speaker 3: We have access to some of the really cool historic buildings.
- 1:24Speaker 3: So one of them is inside the Carling, where we
- 1:27Speaker 3: take you to the ballroom.
- 1:28Speaker 1: The Carling Hotel. Yep. Long time hotel here in Jacksonville.
- 1:32Speaker 3: That's right. Yep.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Yep.
- 1:33Speaker 3: And we take you to the ballroom, which was the
- 1:35Speaker 3: site of one of the deadliest fires that's ever happened here. Yeah.
- 1:39Speaker 3: And then we take you to parts of the underground
- 1:42Speaker 3: tunnels and bank vaults. So that's under the Barnett residence.
- 1:45Speaker 1: First, did y'all know there were underground tunnels downtown?
- 1:47Speaker 2: No. No.
- 1:48Speaker 3: And bank vaults. Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's three really big
- 1:52Speaker 3: bank vaults underneath there. One of them kind of looks
- 1:54Speaker 3: like Ollivander's from Harry Potter. It's like all the safety
- 1:57Speaker 3: deposit boxes or I'm sorry, safe deposit boxes, not safety.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Someone online, I said something about safe deposit boxes and
- 2:04Speaker 3: someone quoted, I'm so glad you said safe and not
- 2:07Speaker 3: safety because I guess it's like a pet peeve. I
- 2:09Speaker 3: thought it was safety. Yeah, apparently it's not. So I
- 2:12Speaker 3: just made that boo-boo. So I fixed it.
- 2:14Speaker 1: That's okay. And you've got these, these tours are happening,
- 2:19Speaker 1: but they're all sold out right now, right?
