    Great opening shot: “Fun In The Sun Pools.“ Trying to imagine it in its heyday. 🙁

    That second building almost looks like an old church, that is the saddest part of these videos, the churches and the schools. This town looks beyond desolate. I love scary old places but I think I would skip this town. Just from the video it seems haunted by bad luck and no hope. Maybe it's the season, but even the trees seem hopeless. I hate to say it, but the word to describe this poor town is hopeless. Very sad and I'm sure the people there would disagree. Thank you for the video and stay safe!!

    Subbed! Love these kinds of videos. While watching, I try to imagine what it looked like when these towns were “ alive “. The people, what they did, the kids playing outside, etc. If only the houses, buildings could talk, the stories they could tell.
    I also like your format of not talking during the video. It allows the viewer to only focus on what they see. I will definitely be watching all of your videos. Great job!

    Isn't this where the Shawnee pottery plant was? Love Shawnee pottery. Beautiful stuff. Great vid.

      I believe that was in Zanesville. Shawnee probably had a brick plant or two nearby.

      The company actively produced pottery from 1937 - 1961 from its location in Zanesville, Ohio.

    Shawnee is a classical century old town that went from boom to bust. It was once a coal and railroad town.

    Probably the saddest little town yet...not a single business around or any people for that matter 😢

  • @suzannehaigh4281
    @suzannehaigh4281 10 місяців тому +43

    If towns did not rely on one single industry to support the whole town then this would not happen. Several forms of employment need to be established to keep somewhere going through many years. America seems to fail this simple reasoning and hundreds of places are dying out.

    It's sad to see these videos of this town, I was born and raised in Shawnee, our house was next to that church with the blue doors. The house is gone, 50 + years. It's sad 😢

    Despite the declining population with about 500 residents now it has absolutely gorgeous countryside, heavily wooded with Wayne national forest nearby. A great idea for that area would be the same done in areas with a decline coal production. Turn it into a beautiful huge all season ATV park ( with strict rules) with riding trails, lodging of cabins & camping areas etc. just like the Hatfield and McCoy riding trails in WV or Ride Royal Blue in TN, and many more. My son who lives about 70 miles from there travels 4-6 hours for riding trails, as there are none like those above in Ohio. Trails such as these completely revitalized those areas, with jobs and infrastructure. Visitors can even ride their ATV’s on the public roads without license’s to restaurants,shops and getting gas.This turned many locals into wealthy businessman.

    Those old brick roads will eat up the tires. The roads look nostalgic but should be replaced. That may not happen there though.

    You weren't kidding about the roads here. Some of the worst I've seen in your videos. And I saw a bus stop shelter! Hard to believe a small town like this even had/has a bus line. This town looks like it has some redeemable features.

    Roads are not that bad. People from cold places know ice makes earth expand, therefore making the asphalt expand creating cracks and potholes. I'm in metropolitan area with a population over a million and a half and there are countless worse roads here.
