Wonderful footage! What kind of drone do you use?

Soooo sad to see these amazing buildings empty and abandoned

Not much point In this without some history on each building. Could have been an excellent video

Eisenhowers guote savages that breed like rabbits. Applies in st louis as well as detroit memphis etc.an evasive species terraformed it into lawless rubble so the humans retreated further into filthy rich suburbs. In st louis they embrace ignorant obnoxous savagry because theyre barely capable of productivity.

Plus all the developers buying up everything

Crime rates, homelessness, sad to see beautiful architecture gone

All these abandoned building could have house the homeless and then some! I am ashamed of my city for this!

Packard plant is almost gone went by a week ago Dec 2025 Fisher body is be fixed up into housing now

There is nothing to reopen for St Liborius. Its just a shell. It would cost a fortune!!!!

The building that no longer exists.

top 10 places? the whole city and surrounding area is one giant abandoned garbage dump!

A certian demographic has ruined St.Louis over the years. Driving in St.Louis city is suicide, driving laws do not apply to a certian demographic.

Another once beautiful city destroyed by Democrats!

I was born and raised in the St Louis metropolitan area & my cousin attended Scullin elementary school.

I worry about the Wainwright building with it’s sale from the state. Not sure it fit is a Historic Landmark but recognized as an important building in 1900s architecture.

This plant does not look anything like this today, it's under complete renovation as condos and apartments (The former Parkard plant next door completed total renovation)

Thank you for sharing the awesome photography! It's heartbreaking to see these amazing old building just sitting vacant.

My uncle got shot dead by a 19 year old in STL a few years ago. For anyone who wants to go to STL /lives there ( like me) please be safe😭🙏

I grew up in Carrollton, the suburb bought out and demolished by the airport in '89

Mi papá trabajo ahí en los 70’s procedente de Jalisco

Just got to drive (not race) down Thunder Valley in Bristol. It's part of their Christmas in Lights at the Speedway & Drag Strip.

Born in Gary in 1941, lived there until 1960 when I joined the Navy. Worked briefly in the steel mill. Gary was a wonderful city back in those days. Wonderful schools 😢

I'm not sure this is the park I visited many years ago. I can remember buying tickets and sitting in seats and watching a couple guys riding on jet skis performing tricks off a ramp or slide. On the other end of the park, that's where the rides were. I'm guessing this was back in the mid 1990's. We traveled from mid- Michigan.

Cool videos

In a better neighbourhood and without that noisy highway at the rear, this could make a spectacular home.

The dog actually jumped through an open window on the upper floors and fell to its death by landing on the lower roof. The building design is deceptive because the top floors are perimeter construction only with the roof at floor 9 of a 21 story building. They weren’t there because of a fire but performing sweeps of homeless people when the incident occurred.

Sad. I can remember when that mall _bustled_ with people and activity, even week nights.

author of THE DEATH TAX sez: Really found this depressing, the Railway Exchange (which I knew as Famous Barr) and Chemical Buildings (which I once climbed the stairs all the way to the top and stood on the roof of), and magnificent Cleveland High in particular resonating with me. Glad to see from Dom's report that at least some of these bldgs. are being repurposed, though sad any of them have to go (remember the sense of loss I felt when the Arena was demolished while being most grateful Union Station was saved)--no less than pieces of HISTORY in this once grand old burg. Sadly, Detroit has a similar vibe, and the sad thing is you get a sense of how GREAT these cities were.

Come visit our beautiful city...bahahaha...if all the people moved away today. Our city would look the same as Detroit. A complete dump.

Brother, I urgently need you to listen to this, there is a channel called urbex hill, it does urban explorations, where it went to this place, it has a video with the name of this place, look at it, there is really something there that should be known and come to a conclusion, In the comments and in a short on his channel you will realize what I’m talking about, Keep me informed

Yeah. I was 10 when it opened and I remember riding my bike there so many times in the summer, later during my teen years. School clothes shopping at Sears, JC Penny, and Hudson's, if you were lucky! ($$$) Always something to do there, but this is a bygone era. It used to be a place to socialize as much as to shop...get an Orange Julius, maybe a giant cookie. They still had toy stores back then...K.B. toys, and also Babbage's for software...on floppies! Lots of nostalgia.

East St Louis has such a rich history and it's sad to see what it has become.

I used to work in the old power plant that's in the opening shot. That building has a lot of history. It used to supply steam, through the underground loop, to several St. Louis buildings. I don't know if they're operating or not.

Wow - amazing. When Fisher 1 was closed, THIS building was completely refurbished in 1991-92 and was 'supposed to be' maintained as a historical landmark. GM execs and middle mgmt for Flint Automotive Division , or FAD (manufactured large front-drive cars for Pontiac, Olds, Buick, and Cadillac - like Bonnevilles, Park Aves, Devilles, etc) occupied the building, along with employees from its data subsidiary Electronic Data Systems. I was on the second floor of the building, in a cubicle at an end window looking north along Saginaw Street. It was a tight space, and was awkward for placing cubicles, but it worked. The nearby Great Lakes Tech Center (GLTC) was essentially new, using some of the skeleton of the original Fisher plant - was a very nice building for its time. The GLTC housed GM engineers designing components for all FAD-made cars. Such a shame to see if that way today - so much history there for GM.

This should be a backrooms level

I worked for Famous Barr in the Railway Exchange Building. Started in 1996. Then Macy's took over in 2005 and then laid everyone off there in 2008. So sad to see a this building with so much history just trashed.

classic spot. I went there once and a film crew asked me to be in their gangster movie lol - called "Snake 2". I was a stand-in for a cop they killed. They shoot me, throw me in a hole, and spit on me. Proud of my contributions to the cultural matrix

Oh man. So many Christmas memories in this building. The current state of the building is kind of symbolic of what Federated/Macy's did to May after the buyout in 2006.

i'd be worried about nignogs living in their!

Can I have the address?

Address?

What happened to this city ? I'm french and visited Saint Louis MI, 2 months ago and had a strange feeling. I loved the gateway Arch and all but some area and downtown were like I was in a ghostown. I really really enjoyed this american experience this country is so damn beautiful but it seem like I missed something about St Louis

The jamestown mall was a great spot before it was demolished. shame

How did u get in

Flint is complete Hole,, I live north of there & won't go near it,, Vote Astroid hitting it in 2025,,

Post apocalyptic at it's finest.

I grew up in Gary so thank you for this video, i was 7 in 93 so its a trip down memory lane. Its sad that its a dead city now, it was the place to be at 1 point.

It’s in oak park hopefully the owners get enough funds to restore the land and property

I love that somebody just smashed a car and left it there. They were smart though, it’s just a Chevy Aveo, no huge loss. 😂

I got my picture with Santa here in the early 1980’s
