Can I just say I really admire your delivery of the content, when you talk it's clearly not from a script it feels like a natural conversation as if I was there in person listening to you talk. It's that delivery that keeps me coming back to watch your content. It's content that I'm already interested in but your style and delivery of the dialogue feels so natural that's uncommon in many YouTue videos today. Please keep making these videos, they're getting me through a very difficult year and I'm excited to see this channel grow!
I saw your video about struggling to get monetized because of your popular videos, but with this video, I can see a great niche for what you do which is buildings and things that went wrong, or related things like that. Abandoned places and their story. I really like this video, I never would have known about this if it wasn't for your videos.
The thickness of enforced concrete foundation and foundation anchoring into solid soil underneath require to build this mall should have been four times the size than what was constructed as it was.
There is nothing wrong with building on top of a former landfill. There are hundreds of successful projects are the US. Apparently City View Center cut corners in 2004
The same thing hapened in 2005, in South Strabane, Washington County Pa. The shopping center was called The Foundry at South Strabane. Built over an abandoned coal strip mine. Same problems as City View. Wondering were the original owners by chance, Premier Properties as well?.
There is one of these shopping plazas currently sinking in Lake City, Fl. It is an old Food Lion. Been closed for atleast 10 years.. Most of the area has sinkholes developing everywhere.
I have a thought.....with all of the discussions about the Cleveland Browns and their stadium situation, do you think that area would be a good location for a potential new domed stadium?
What a dumb concept though - yeah let's build an entire complex on a landfill, what could go wrong? Bright Sun Films has a great video from a few years ago exploring this place.
Why in the world would you build a shopping center on top of a landfill that was gonna cause problems and safety concerns for those who live in Garfield heights Ohio they knew exactly what was going on this goes to show no matter how much you build something on top of a landfill this is the consequences for building on top of a landfill
the problem was the developer who bought the site didn't follow ordinance regulations: when developing on a former landfill you're supposed to wait 18-20 years to give the ground time to settle but they started building the city view well short of that and then have the nerve to act surprised when the ground beneath their feet started sinking and belching out methane gas. whatever profits they were hoping to score literally went up in smoke because they tried to jump the gun. this is what happens when greedy people put wealth above health and safety.
the Walmart in my hometown was forced to relocate for about the same reason, it was built on a hill literally over abandoned mine tunnels and with an active surface mine almost directly behind the store. and due to the mine blasting, the walls and floors were cracking causing structural damage and there was a worry that the damage from the blasting could crack open a methane pocket in the tunnels beneath the store - if it did the entire hill could've been blown off the map.
LOL Absolutely none of the buildings sunk into the ground. They were all built down to the bedrock and have been completely restored into a light industrial area. You want to be urban explorers crack us up.
I believe per another video jc pennys and home depot were suppose to open on the other side but after they tested the land it was too toxic for them to proceed.

What? Bro kind of sounds like an awkward robot. But with time I’m sure his delivery will be more fluid.
The problem was NO NATURAL LIGHTING, and can’t forget to mention they needed to add SOCIAL SPACES
It was built without drinking rails.
Oh no, they didn’t have team logos on the scoreboards either

its so weird seeing a abandoned modern Aldi in the middle of a field
Abandoned before even opening
as an american, my reaction to this is "Of course it was Ohio"
As someone who lives in Michigan my first thought also was, of course it was Ohio lol
its been two weeks since the last comment.
i love this channel!
ITS AMAZING!
you have a great voice for this kinda stuff.

You can find lots of videos of people exploring the abandoned Walmart and other stores. They all complain about a terrible smell.
As always @depressedginger ...A very cool video!!!
It was a bad idea to build the shopping center on top of a landfill
Most malls are actually built on top of a landfill, the problem is they rushed the project and never truly stabilized the land
There is one of these shopping plazas currently sinking in Lake City, Fl. It is an old Food Lion. Been closed for atleast 10 years.. Most of the area has sinkholes developing everywhere.
There's so much free space in America and someone decides to build shops on a landfill...
The parking lot sank from years of no maintenance.
Bridgeview belongs to the county and their new complex is coming soon
Well the land fill describes what Walmart is a total landfill of shit with not to friendly staff.
what's the Walmart now that it's redeveloped?
I'm old enough to remember when housing was in the area before the shopping center was built. Sad story.
I remember researching this place
I have a thought.....with all of the discussions about the Cleveland Browns and their stadium situation, do you think that area would be a good location for a potential new domed stadium?
It’s being repurposed as a warehouse/factory development. They did a lot of construction in rebuilding the buildings and supporting the foundation

Thanks i was wondering what happened to this place

Ohio moment

The “other side” was never on the old landfill. That was once homes that were taken by eminent domain with the owners getting a nice hunk of money.
Giant Eagle refuses to leave.
No reason to. They are thriving and the new tenants have the place filled
8:45 did you mean Twitter?
Tweeter? That store shit the bed a long time ago.
No I mean Twitter
@@carlosarredondo3it’s called “X” now
At least it was 100% renewable and green lol
Why would you build anything on a landfill of course it would sink
My hometown
Nice
**spawns**
Most normal walmart
Only here 🙄
Bro went from 9/11 2 college football
Hello fellow Ohioan! As kid I went to this Walmart before it closed and it always smelled like gas and sewage in there.
Only in ohio 💀
Take a trip there now and redo your dumb story. Talk to the owner that has revitalized the entire complex. New businesses as of 2023.
First
What a gorging feed-fest this debacle must have created for the lawyers! Everybody suing everybody!
