Thanks for going into these places for us! Like a book except in vivid color, it's an adventure I can enjoy from my armchair. Thanks to you I get the experience with none of the risk.
Although the depot is abandoned and run down, it was as you've described an important part of history in its day. As for your exploration of it I wish you'd been able to go into the upper floors (just to satisfy my curiosity) but from your video I didn't see any way up there. It would likely be outrageously risky too due to heights, dogs, irate tenants, and who knows what else? I very much appreciate what you were able to show.
If I may ask a favor, the camera movement at times was just a bit too fast for my 70 year-old eyes and brain to track and I wish you'd pan a little slower. Yes, if I really want to see something you captured in a spin I know I can slow down the playback. Like I said, a favor, not a complaint.
Thank you for watching! I'll keep that in mind for the future. Be aware that the next ten or so videos I will be uploading have already been filmed, between Canada and this trip I just got back from I have a lot to edit. I wanted to go upstairs, but the only way up as far as I am aware was at both ends, both of which had people living in them. Thank you for the feedback, stay tuned for more!
That guys lived there for over 5 years, i went back there the other day and that place has over 200 people living inside it now. A ladder can get you to the second floor and then theres steps
That's crazy. I wanted to try and interview him but with the dogs and shotgun I felt a little outgunned lol. 200 people? Thats insane
Several trips here, yet I never knew...but what a cool old building. There's so many loft conversions here I wonder what they're waiting for, I know you mentioned demolition but this one has some potential.
thats insane on how an home was built inside there. it amazes me how they haven't be caught or forced out yet
If they go through with the demolition plans, they will be. Thank you for watching!
The whole area looks Abandon
Very true. You may be able to see it in the drone shots, but behind the depot there are two caved in buildings and a bunch of industrial buildings that are boarded up with "for sale" signs. east St. Louis is even worse, which you'll be able to see when I upload the videos of the abandoned Spivey skyscraper and abandoned Majestic Theater. Thank you for watching!
A homeless kingdom within an abandoned kingdom. 🏆
Stop making videos? No new ones lately.
I have a back log of several video from this trip I still haven't edited lol. With the economy in the dumps I can't afford to go out and film, and my microphone is broke so I need to get a new one before I can finish editing the other stuff. I am also working in EMS now so I am very busy. I have not forgotten the channel, more content will come eventually.
@@themodernfrontiersmen yeah, same here, I still have a few from last March I need to do. I noticed there's other channels on YT where they made a lot of videos, then stopped for what ever reason and don't do them any more which is why I asked. You guys do a good job though, with informative narration and history.
