You'll love the old BUDD plant where they built trains and car parts, its on hunting park ave between Fox and Wissahickon ave.
My Step Father and Brother worked there for years, my Brothers was a machinist there, just as my Real Father was, anyway, he almost lost his thumb whilst working a Ford Econoline Van door, had to have microsurgery to repair it! Filled vending machines there, the floor was thick with muck and grease, it was horrible, workers missing a thumb, a finger, 1 eye missing, from injuries on the job. My S-Father told me stories about the jitney drivers screwing around, and the whole machine went down a freight elevator shaft, they drank Gin and Milk (YECK) on the job, I like Gin but NOT in milk, haha, and other crazy stories. Great benefits there, but, it was a dinosaur, the owners didn’t want to invest more money on upgrades, although they opened a new “Phoenix plant” years before shutting it down, damn shame!
I used to do the landscaping at the budd plant.i used to have to call the secretary and get into the building and find the guy who signed the bill.the place was huge and at the time not very busy.had to go to budds safety meetings and stuff like that to.
Budd is absolutely massive once you get inside.
These buildings, I don’t think had anything to do with bud plant
Can remember driving up Broad Street from city hall to dead end at Cheltenham Avenue back in the early 1960's and asked my dad how come almost every smoke stack along the way had smoke pouring out during the night. Told me that is was great that those numerous factories were running both a day & a night shift producing tons if jobs. Worked at the old Cross Brothers meat Packers plant in Kensington at 3600 N Front St. until they closed 11/79.Great owners Sam Cross & his son Bernie. Can remember driving by Stetson hats that employed 4 or 5,000 people , Schmidt's brewery, SKF, Bud Company, Philco Ford , knitting mills on & around Lehigh Avenue.
YES ALL GREAT PLACE'S AND SADDLY THERE ALL GONE NOW
it's sad that capitalism outsourced every manufacturing job to cheaper countries with less regulations so they could get away with essentially slave labor practices. really messed up that all the mfg jobs just vanished from the US in the last 60 years
You and Lamont have the best channels. Simple voiceover and not too many shot cuts. Love it man 🤘
I love old dilapidated places! Especially, with such amazing size!
That tree is awesome!!
Never been to Philly! Thanks for the dark tour Chris 💙😉
Pretty crazy what nature can do!! Love the history told!! Also love the architecture. Good to hear someone will be doing something contructive with it. Thanks for taking us with you on this tour!!
I used to live in Philadelphia. Love the old brick work, the old stone chruches and house. Miss it.
Somebody's chillin spot.

Long time since you've done an abandoned building and with Jay at that!
Thanks Chris! 👍👍👍👍
Hi Jay! 🤠👍
Yeah it was a while for sure!
My grandfather worked in a pressing factory in North Philly for years….wild to see how these spaces look now.
Thank you for doing these videos, abandoned structures have interested me all my life, at one time they were all new, as I am watching this I can picture the many employees , would be really interesting if you could find photos relevant to when the factory was in operation.
The trees were a real bonus, proves that even though " man " may try - given time " Nature " will survive.
I thought this was the same building as in the Philly video which was outstanding !
The trees were definitely my favorite!
Well said great comment 👍
Nature always find a way. Always sad to see old buildings just rot away. Thanks for the videos Chris. You definitely go where most don't 👍
Great video, Kris. I'm glad you got your bodyguard with you in these spooky places 😉
Trees engulfing and taking back what was once their territory is fantastic to see! As we are finding out nature is all powerful.
Nature will regain once again what man has tried to destroy , Nature is all powerful. 🌳🌱💚
I’m imagining the apartments they’ll be constructing! Upscale units with all amenities!
Probably $3,500-$5,000 a month 😮
Those would be crazy high rents for sure!! I'm glad I own my own home.
thks area sucks idk why anybody would wanna live there wealthy people are confusing to me.
Thanks for part two Chris. They could transform some of those buildings to get the people off the streets and give them a chance. Thanks for sharing 👊👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Trust me if that was profitable, it would be there. That land and building is far too pricey for a charitable organization to afford.
Plus if they were doing chrome plating there, it may be environmentally contaminated.
Nature always takes over. Eventually you wouldn't even know that there was a building. Nature's amazing!
I am fascinated by your videos. I have to save until the broadband goes on again next Friday. I'm dying to see it. That video you did about the darker side of Philadelphia was amazing!!. All those drug addicts and strange buildings. Thank you so much....a great look at America, which we would never know of. God bless.
it's wild what they can do with old buildings, we had an old cold storage building here, real run down, that they made into apartments. looks like a brand new building now, really nice looking!
Same in Red Bank NJ. They took an abandoned brick building and made it into a very popular coffeehouse. It was really beautiful, but sadly the coffeehouse is gone now, too.
Man I been having a real hard go at my luck lately .. Especially with filming I just want to give up around every corner nothings been on my side including weather ..You are so so blessed to be in the field sir
Thanks for part two! I hope they do tear down and put up places for people to live! Too many people on the streets.
These types of renovated places are for the rich hun.
The problem isn't a lack of homes btw it's the fact that they're tough to afford.
So cool I love history ❤️

You sure do put Lamont and Jay in some sketchy places 🤣🤣🤣
Great video, Chris. I love old abandoned buildings like this. Maybe you will get the chance to film it again after construction starts and then again when it's finished. That would be fantastic 😀
Philly native here. Next time you're around let me know. I know of a lot more exploration spots.
you should tell me some🙏
Hey I’m thinking about going today or tommrow any chance your free ?😊
Philly native here ✌🏾
I'm surprised that the homeless population hasn't taken over....better than living on a sidewalk
Maybe it's already occupied 👻💀
well the homeless like to bother people for money so why would they sit around in a building with no foot traffic?
Philadelphia has the lowest street homelessness in all the major cities
@@ClayDoogun clearly you've never been to Kensington. just because the reports of homelessness there is "low" does not mean you see them almost everywhere. they are either junkies or people that got kicked out or dont want to work.
Security can't remove you from a sidewalk...
Nature will find a way..... so cool to see! Great video. Thank you for sharing.
What an awesome building to explore, that and the train tunnel on your other channel. I'd be nervous who I might come across though, as I do when I explore them here in Australia
I watched your other video this morning, Philly is crazy. When I was growing up it was always so beautiful, of course it had bad parts. Now I could care less about going into the city. Sad.
He featured the worst part of Philly. There's still plenty of great parts of the city. He left out that info to manipulate the negative narrative about Philadelphia. It's irresponsible to compare all of Philly to all of Gary like Chris did in the video previous to this one.
There are thousands of similar abandoned industrial buildings, in neighborhoods all over Philly. Especially Kensington.
I use to ride bikes or roller skate down what we called the big bash at E st and Tioga st as a kid. Every couple years someone would get run over trying to turn so not to fly out into Tioga st. Watched my buddy kyran go right under a tractor trailer and out the other side.
Great video thank you.
I couldn't imagine standing in that yard eating pears. The stench must have been horrendous to say the least, with all of the feces, urine, and vomit.
GREAT VLOG!
"Photographer has been here" made me laugh
May i recommend a wider-framed lens? The frame of view is quite narrow and doesnt allow much of the space to be taken in only whats in center view
Good job Chris
🎊💮🇮🇳💮🎊
Those walls must have some stories to tell 😮
Crazy to see the curtains on the doors
That arcade game cabinet was really odd!
There is a FEW MILLION Bricks in that Structure For SURE !
That was a awesome movie thanks so much
Where in Philly is this ?
Watch out for the Peanut Butter Jelly Man. As a kid we were always told he loved abandoned buildings.
Does anyone else hear kids voices at 3:04? Spooky and beautiful ❤️💀👻
Great video once again.
That arcade cabinet needs to be rescued
Damn, didn’t know you were coming to Philly, I could’ve met up with you, perhaps next time, South Jersey also, another missed opportunity.
Crowbar and a nail puller, there’s enough lumber to build a pimp palace in there. You could have the ultimate trap house in north Philly…
Those buildings probably were around as far back as the 1920s is my guess!
14:46 Mr Softy! 😂
Where is this at
Explored here a few years ago
So much waste in this country.
Time has really changed that place and a lot of people must of worked there and factories should be open for business and keep people working for their incomes and jobs and there won’t be homeless people and out of work employees
Those abandoned buildings are foundationally rock solid, but they are full of lead paint and asbestos. Chris, I wish you would wear a mask when touring these old structures.
Those trees are pretty strong they must have been pumping IRON
we are living in a decline like the roman empire fall, except our decline is coming in decades not centuries. man never learns.
I feel like I have been here like 15 years ago, I was at the old train manufacturing factory , which could have been this place?? It had like 20 floors and multiple buildings
Which neighborhood is this in Philly
I hope it doesnt become expensive apartments like you said.. dear god. The budd factory thankfully isnt, I seen a portion of it with some biomedical company's banner on it and I can say thats definitely better than apartments. Sad they can't always be "explored" forever.
It is so upsetting to see places like this abandoned for 40 years and we have millions of homeless people
The state or city or government could, at the very least, put cots in, military style, and have basic heating and cooling and military style bathrooms with showers, so people could have a place to sleep and take a shower each day.
They could also have laundry machines and have basic clothes for the people.
Instead of sending 40 billion dollars to other countries every month.
If they took over the building 40 years ago they could have set up housing for the homeless, giving them a permanent place to live and an address
Each person could have a unit number
So it would be 100 commercial Drive unit 1234
And they could have mess hall style meals each day
We have the money to take care of the poorest 10% of our citizens if we want to
Uh.....is there a music box playing? 14:43
Heard that too
I'm from here Philly it's an ice cream truck use headphones
Where is that? I wanna visit
where’s this at in philly!!?
I’m so happy I got to go before it was destroyed
Is it destroyed?
Where in philly is this located, I would love to visit?
U ever found out?
2100 w allegheney
That tree in the beginning of the video is locally called a monkey tree it’s essentially a weed that becomes a tree ..everyone in Philly has had one of them in their backyard
@11:27 , abandoned bathrooms, I have a weird thought, who was the last person to utilize those toilets, I’m not into a weird fetish about this, just wondering, but we shall never know!
There are a lot of anandoned buildings and properties in Philly.
What's the location? I wanna visit
Excellent video again.
“This video is brought to you by Stephen King and ADHD.” - my brain 😊
“When an imaginative person gets into mental trouble, the line between seeming and being has a way of disappearing.” - Stephen King, Bag of Bones, p. 87.
Story Time
To her the best Saturday morning was a thick paperback and reheated breakfast pizza. She indulged in Bag of Bones this morning before the real adulting got started.
Eventually, she couldn’t resist the temptation to look up the meaning of “TR,” a localism specific enough to Stephen King’s writing to show up quickly on his fandom page. “Township” and “range,” were the terms used to locate some unincorporated parts of Maine, maybe meant by King to signal the lonelier places in his version of the haunted state - “ok great, now let’s get back to… hey, is that a photo of Stephen King’s house?”
And so it began. From her giving in to searching “What is TR in Maine?” to clicking down the rabbit hole of images of the front of Stephen King’s house, “the Heart of Bangor,” and then to a link to a video of the house from Z107.3 - a video by none other than Mobile Instinct. ..2!
Hyperfocus now engaged, she watched and enjoyed the brief commentary before continuing without hesitation to the next recommendation: an abandoned Philly factory. She was now unaware of herself until she saw the faded book and familiar, almost legible title on her screen. She paused the video and tried to get a clearer view for a few moments before Chris confirmed her suspicion: Gerald’s Game. (Except, what did he say, Gerard? That made her giggle.)
Finally, convicted of yak shaving by the author himself, she remembered how she got to this abandoned place in the middle of a faraway city. She logged off to go back to the story by her side, but not before feeling a shiver run down her spine as she imagined that maybe someone had been in that old factory on some dark and stormy night, turning the pages of that same author’s book in the dim glow of a dying flashlight.
What a bizarre coincidence. Unless…
With regards to the first video..When an addict doesn’t have a needle they will borrow one. Who knows how may people have used it. And so, diseases like hepatitis run rampant. People die! That’s why new needles are distributed. Otherwise, local hospitals would be overwhelmed with each outbreak..😊
AIDS is also transmitted among shared needles.
@@andytaylor5476
Yes, along with other various diseases..
Yup. And if I can remember correctly, it's called harm reduction.
That whole video needs clarification. Chris failed to let his audience know that the worst parts of Philly are not representative of the entire city. There's plenty of great and livable neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Chris compared Philly to Gary, and was irresponsible in doing so. A whole lot of ignorance in that first video. Very uncharacteristic of Chris. It's disappointing...
@@positively_broad_st3780 I was particulary put off by some judgemental stereotypical comments about drug use, the people, and homelessness. It was out of character to his other videos. I realize it's a polaring "hot" problem yet it surprised me.
All we have to do is just keep still and nature will eventually swallow us whole.
I hope that building can be saved but being Philadelphia I doubt it.
You’ve never seen a buckled sidewalk?
Just a chair chilling.
Have you tried midnight exploring abandoned places? 😱😳
What a shame
Adress???
Wow
You have the courage of a lion my friend, you could pay me a million dollars,and I still wouldn't do what you do about going into these abandoned buildings ,I'd be terrified. Not that just someone might be there ,but that the second floor would cave in!!
You're correct to feel this way I know of a few horror stories that happened in these buildings there are a lot of unwell people out there and too many places to hide in these buildings. Stay safe ✌
where in philly r u as iam in NE philly love to meet ya
I'm not there anymore but this was in the Allegheny area. Not far from Kensington
👍🏻👍🏻
Those eye sores need to be refurbish or tore down and replaced with something useful
I DO not THINK this is a STEEL Plant better check your facts : ) cool vid though
It was called the Steel Heddle Manufacturing Company. A heddle is part of a loom.
You sound like Tobey Maguire
We need more townhouses.lmao society never changes.
Are you trying to get killed?
The Carter! New Crack City…
We got no train station in Albuquerque New Mexico that resembles that building
Camerawork gave me a headache
Cannot even begin to explain how naive' this was....
Do you have any idea how many eyes were on you the whole time you were there?
Many of them thinking "well, looks like white boys are tired of livin'..."
Unreal.
Say a prayer of thanks and don't do that again, please.
The plant is not live, it's artificial.
All these left wing democrat cities. This is what to expect.
Plenty of abandoned factories in red wing areas so your comment makes no sense
@@ganymededarling Makes absolute sense. Detroit, Chicago, St Louis, Cleveland, Los Angles, Boston to a degree, Dayton, Scranton, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Youngstown, etc. The list goes on and on…
It's mind boggling how they built stuff back then. Seems like overkill in today's standards.
