It’s insane to me that 10 years ago was 2014. When I think 10 years my brain goes to 2004 lol.
Time is going by too fast.
Same here. I graduated high school in 2014. Felt like yesterday!
@@HeatherHugs graduated in 2011 and it still feels like only yesterday!
🫣🤔😢
10 years have gone quick like 11 years ago I left school and a year later my school closed for good
I have never seen an abandoned McDonald's before. Now I have. Thanks for the video.
Ive been waiting patiently for this lol!
Dang they are tearing this place up. They took off the McDonald’s characters off of the windows in the play place. You’re welcome haha. Had to share it with you. I know you’ll love it
Those paintings of those oldskool mcdonalds characters had to take alot of time to paint that's sad they're now gone!
One thing we can count on from Wallie in abandoned McDonald's videos: the way he says the name like "mcDAWNolds" 😆
LOL! HEY! I can't help it! 😂
@@WallieB26 I hope that never changes! 😁 Love the channel and the variety of videos!
It’s just how people in that part of PA and Ohio talk.
Always neat to see the perspective of an abandoned building from inside. Another great video as always Wallie!
First location of WallieBurger right here!!!
Think of all the resources needed to build this restaurant and all that is left now are memories. 🤔 Thanks Wallie! 👍
Last year I was in Seaside Heights, N.J. There was an abandoned McDonald’s at the north end of town on rte. 35. At the Ortley beach border.
5:33 that control panel was installed a long while ago, Schiller Park Illinois hasn't been in the 312 area code since the split in 1989.
I was guessing this to be an early 90s style mcdonalds looks like I'm wrong
I have had anxiety this evening and your videos always make me happy and feel good
Love your videos Wallie! If you are ever in Dayton, Ohio, head to Englewood for an abandoned Long John Silvers, across from what used to be the K-mart, but is now a storage facility. About 10 minutes away in Clayton is a newer abandoned BK.
Cool explore. It's always awesome when you get to explore the inside. Definitely cool to see.👍👍
Wow, really surprised me to see all the equipment gone. Usually they just leave it, lol. And that floor was soaked in several places! By the way, ex McDonald's employee here, that little deadbolted building would've just been more storage. Things like extra cases of cups, extra boxes of toys, maybe an extra piece of equipment or two.
I recognize this one. They closed this one due to health code violations to my knowledge. My mother worked here in the 80's and burned her arm in the fryer. Thank you for doing it
Yeah, no doubt corporate must have had QUITE the talking to with the franchisee behind this location, no doubt.
Wow the fact that this location has already been closed ten years is crazy. I know exactly where this is and use to go bowling next door and take my car into the dealership as well. I had only been there a few times.
Seeing the stuffed animal made me sad 😢 lol
Me too 😔
Me too 😢
This brings back memories of our McDonalds we had that was built in the mid 90s that’s long sense been demolished and a Starbucks put up in its place!
Thank you so much for the whole video and taking the time to make it. 😊
Look like the McDonald's Restaurant on Abercorm Street Savannah Georgia on the corner of Abercorm and Whitebuff Ave where I used to work.
That is very cool. You inspired me to check out an abandoned YMCA near me in Parma. I also stopped by that old school Giant Eagle that you visited
@@nearandfarexplorers5125 that oldskool giant eagle is awesome I've worked there in the produce area
I live right in the same general area as that Giant Eagle!
@@nearandfarexplorers5125 same
@@neohistoryfan1014I go to Buzzard cove like 5 minutes from there!
Awesome big fan Wallie UA-cam channel love watching some educational
Awesome Wall
Yes, the walls are amazing.
Our McDonald's isn't closed but it's just as empty. Most people go through the drive thru .
An awesome abandoned video, Wallie! 👍👍👍👍👍
Love the video!! So interesting when you go inside!! It’s like a time capsule no matter what year it closed
Awesome find Wallie! Thank for your videos!
WOW! Another great video! I am surprised that this place has not been ravaged more.
Time flys quick
Hey Wallie you are so awesome!!!!!!!!
Awesome 👌 video man
I miss the old days when everything was different when it came to different restaurants but now everything is just the same that looks like shoes box’s in I remember my old McDonald’s had the same wallpaper in the playroom this bings back memories for sure!
The play place holds core memories for me😊
Yeah, somehow that pattern on the ceiling almost has that Steak 'N Shake type of vibe to it, honestly.
Yoooo that's epic!
Great video!
The room that he called an entertainment room was actually where the camera monitor was and storage of the footage
Wow cool old one
Wallie! If you are returning back to ohio anytime soon there's an abandoned Kmart in Bainbridge ohio that would make a great video for your channel!
amazing find. shocked there wasn't, or atleast was very minimal graffiti or vandalism. for being abandoned for 10 years the mcdonalds seemed fairly intact.
Crazy how good and maintained it looks after being empty 10 years. Outside of the building looks really good overall.
That's crazy. That's a newer model too. Sad thanks for sharing
Looks like its been sortof cleaned up since the previous videos
Let's hope they do something with it
Looks like it received a light modernisation in the mid to late 2000s which involved the exterior being repainted with the grey and yellow on top of the PlayPlace being removed with the space converted into a dining room.
Mickey D's , Down & Out in 2014. Minimum wage was their wage.
When you're up to it go check out the abandoned Lansford moter cycle dealer shop in Crossville tn closed permanently in October of 24
They kept the mcds here open while they rebuilt it.i miss the way it was.its the cookie cutter project like so many have gone too.that place looks good for as long as its been closed
As someone that works at McDonald's I know the full layout back there and know where everything normally is, and it's surreal to see the entire back of the building empty and wide open.
such a shame such a nice building!
9:55 that entertainment box would have had a TV, used to play training videos for new hires
Hey Wallie that Roll house bowling alley is abandoned too I used to bowl there
No basement? I was under the impression all places up north had basements, at least all houses did when I lived in New Jersey.
Hi Wallie 👋🏻
So bizarre to see an abandoned McDonald’s as they’re always so busy and so many people go there. When I lived in Colorado, I remember seeing a few closed and vacant Taco Bell’s which were speculated because of gang activity 😢
Worked at McD's, I-25 & North Academy Boulevard in 1984-86. Gulp...40 years later still the best job I ever had. Also the lowest pay I ever had. Still keep in touch with a couple of my "hommies" from back then.
That one room was used to train people. You have to watch a ton of short videos. Safety, process, osha training, etc
I had that feeling. Makes sense!
Wow, Federal Pacific switch gear! That stuff was usually OK as was their fused safety switches, but their STAB-Lok regular circuit breakers were terrible and started fires because the mechanisms won’t trip on an overload or short. They also had poor contact in the bus stabs which often resulted in burned up or welded in place breakers, as well! Their commercial bolt in breakers worked OK BUT the mechanism was such that if the handle was blocked to prevent turning off, they couldn’t trip on overload or a short, possibly causing a fire! The National Electrical Code (NEC) states that all circuit breakers MUST mechanically be able to trip on over current even if the toggle handles are locked in the “ON” position, which these FPE breakers obviously didn’t meet these requirements, so their bolt-in breakers were junk like the stab-lok ones! They caused lots of serious fires! Cheers Wally B! 😋😊
The mayor of the city recently posted a video discussing this property and several others. This property I believe is owned by a Carvana style business that for some reason was never able to open. They are in the process of trying to get zoning changed as somehow it was made so another restaurant could not be opened on the property after it was sold. It’s weird but they’re trying to get something back on that lot.
Makes me shudder in chills to fall asleep at that old abandoned McDonald’s at night. Not sure if they ghosts of customers past of that McDonald’s will get and haunt me
That’s just the spooks from the now demolished Provo house a few doors down. The ghosts had to go somewhere when the house got bulldozed.
Awesome video
7:55 I’ve never seen a European sounder alarm in the US before.
Check out the old Hardee's I Willoughby
It's always nice when buildings are not posted and are unlocked.
Lyd Wetzel was just at this location a couple of weeks ago.
Looks very similar to the one in Mission Bend, TX which was demolished in 2022 and replaced with an ugly, smaller, characterless shoebox.
I was 12 in 2014 depending on the month…I’m 22 now. Wow.
Thats weird to see an abandoned McDonalds, you rarely hear of a big fast food chain closing a location
so sad think of the memories
I actually knew about this place DUE to Chris Stanton! Looks like another McDonald’s in the books, you’ve been racking up A LOT lately it seems
Haven’t seen urinals that went to the floor like that in a while lol
Great explore as always man! I need to explore more abandoned restaurants and retail stores haha
Btw, they demolished the abandoned McDonald’s in Youngstown finally
I have those kind of urinals since school😂. Also they demolished the McDonald’s in Youngstown? The one one Youngstown Salem rd?
Sad to see it decaying like that
No more special sauce lettuce and cheese but not at this abandoned McDonald's 😮
you should do a video of the abandoned mcdonalds on grant street n south street in akron ohio, i forget when it closed down but it happend right after they built that bridge that cut it off from being accessable... its was really small mcdonalds also...
You know what Wallie this McDonald's has been abandoned for like 10 years lol 😊
Wally: Let's go to the front....
Me: Where it says 'Ames' real big??
That is big McDonald's the way is so big they probably could have fit 2 drive through menu screens if they wanted to back when it was open, now it is pretty obviously they can't now because being closed and abandoned, but back then when was open and in business they probably could have done it by then now sadly it is closed and abandoned, hopefully something happens that McDonald's
1980s McDonald’s which saw a modernization in the 90s.
The place looks like 2014,Idk how to describe it just carries that years
i know its weird but i love the old school urinals i wish they would bring em back ive only ever seen em at different resteraunts
Weird thing that I have realized is that Wallie has been in more McDonald's than Kmart's 😂
I get it.
You give me the chills walking inside. I keep thinking a door will shut and you'll get locked in one of the rooms. 😯
Haha. I tend to make sure a door is able to open once I'm inside of a place if the door shuts or tries to shut all the way.
That would really freak me out
The landscaping is still active
Legend has it the icecream machine was the downfall of this location.
Also, who remembers when McDonald's charged for sauce?
That was back in 08ish time I believe
Who remembers 49cent burgers packaged in Styrofoam boxes?
Who remembers when Happy Meal toys were actually toys, and you still see them today and it brings you back instantly to childhood.
Who remembers when McDonald's and burger king were themed birthday party competition and 3 hours felt like 1 hour today.
Who remembers when you could go outside without dying from a heatstroke
Who remembers playing outside and going on adventures without having fear of homeless people or as we called them, Hobos.
Who remembers unsafe school playgrounds with 15-foot swings and monkey bars and teeter totters.
Who remembers when bullying was just a phase..
If my memory serves me correctly my school closed the same year and now it's all over grown and vandalized and there's talk about turning it into housing
It’s not very often you see a McDonald’s with parabolic troffer lights like that
such a waste of a fine piece of property.
Ford place right next to McDonald.
There's a abandoned car wash in London ky
also what'd the red sign at the front door say. im curious
where is this location. i want to know because is interesting.
And I'm surprise the abandoned McDonald's building is open. It's suppose to be locked. Good place for homeless people to sleep in as their home.
i've definitely passed by this
Does they have the smel?
can get mcflurry lol !!!!
It doesn’t even look like it’s been closed for 10 years, the paint on the building doesn’t even look faded or the parking lot isn’t all tore up with overgrown grass and weeds
🍟 🍔
Yuck 🤢
@@PraveenSrJ01 you on commenting on a video about McDonald’s. 🤷♂️
I'm surprised these open places haven't been scavenged for stainless steel
All that grease must’ve stained that stainless steel.
Implosion then Rebuilding.
10 years being abandoned doesn't look moldy or trashed just barely looked abandoned not old
That restroom 🚻 in around the 7:20 mark really disgusted 🤢 me
