According to family in Joplin, it appears the building was destroyed tonight by the tornado. I'm hoping my family is wrong...

[DebbieMoss]

@StevelaFrench Steve, I just found out that the apartment did survive. I had been trying to call the owner but couldn't get an answer. He called my friend Tonya Holly who will be filming the new Bonnie & Clyde movie at that location to let her know that the historic apartment did survive the tornado. However, he did loose his personal home. My prayers go out to all who are affected by this devistating disaster.

Sincere regards,

Debbie Moss

Am I supposed to root for Bonnie and Cylde or the lawmen?

Anyway, anybody recall the car commercial in which Bonnie and Clyde purchased a modern car of the 1960's?

@000266617 when did this commercial air? Id' be very interested to learn more.

@musicaltheatergeek79 This video is not a commercial. A historian friend of mine filmed it when he had the opportunity rent the apartment for the weekend. He was nice enough to allow me to upload to share with visitors to my website blanchedotdebezdotcom and the hideout's website that I built for the owner joplinhideoutdotcom. I have stayed in my cousin Blanche's bedroom (the front bedroom) on 3 occasions when visiting Joplin. The owners have done a fantastic job of preserving and restoring it.

It's not about rooting for anyone or idol worship. It is about the history. History is history whether it be good or bad. If we do not preserve it for future generations, how are we to learn from the past? A plaque has been placed on the apartment as a rememberance for the officers that lost their lives in the line of duty.

"This is the stairwell."

Really? No kidding? I almost thought it was the master bedroom.

This video was made to remember our family trip to the hideout. It wasn't made with you tube in mind. Deb, thought it would be nice to let everyone have a chance to see were B/C stayed for 13 days. If I know someone would be unhappy with it, I would have written a script and hired a camera crew.

[StevelaFrench]

@DebbieMoss That's a tiny bit of good news in the wake of this horrible storm. My thoughts are with everyone affected by this horrific tragedy.

@Dovatsi i think you did a good job narrating and filming, who cares what anybody else says! its a fascinating time period! it was a short window in time when you coulda been a gangster like them, basically from 1930 to 1935! after 1935 police across the country started getting equipped with 2-way police radios so you couldnt get away and flee across the state lines! the police could just radio ahead to let them know that you were heading theyre way! and the V8 ford came out in 32 also! THANX!
