  • Today we visit a location I have previous documented, one that is undoubtably one of the most retro abandoned locations I've visited. Although, it is was very nostalgic, the Burger King was heavily vandalized. Thrown chairs, tables as well as racist graffiti are things @UrbexAndChill and I will be cleaning up today. Restoring this abandoned fast food chain back to its former glory !

    Im glad everyone is enjoying the cleanup video, i loved this place so much, it was just a shame to see so ravaged by vandals! I just needed to see it how it might look like, bringing back all the nostalgia!
    Sorry for the voice being nasally, been sick for like 2 weeks with some bug lol. Hope everyone has a happy and healthy New Year !

      I agree. I hate watching some of the explorers walk on top of people's photos and personal belongings. One other explorer I've seen clean up as best as possible abandoned places. Why can't the honest and loyal explorers do this. Make it part of the exploration process when feasible.

Thanks to the both of you for respecting the environments that you explore. Those beautiful deer in the beginning of your video made my day. Silver City, NM has deer going through town. Keep up the good work. You guys are the best. To bad others don't take the lead or at least follow suit. What a difference you dudes made to this abandoned Burger King. Why are all those chairs left behind? What a total waste!!

    Love the heart and soul of what your intent is. It ends up falling a little flat on this location. It'd be awesome to find an unused abandoned building in your community and try to think of what the place could be, organize an effort with the city or organization to turn it into a community center, shelter or something similar. Being so focused on abandoned places and having a strong desire to not see them become as bad as they end up seems like perfect fuel for you to make a difference. Documenting and sharing that could really help others be inspired to do similar things.

    i wish someone would buy that Burger King and fix it up but keep everything like the same way as it is because it looks like a really cool place it is it would be one of a kind

    There is definitely potential here for a BK franchisee to take over this property and bring BK back to life at this location, but sadly corporate would just force them to remodel it into the boring shoebox design! Anyways, thanks for making my day guys!! This was awesome! God bless now. Much love from Texas!
