- I made a trip back to where i grew up, Detroit. In this episode i am exploring my first abandoned building. Detroit is such an amazing city and i cant wait to film more there.
We have all discovered the round basins were hand washing stations just so everyone knows and doesn’t keep commenting on it 😊
They had those in the Mercedes Superdome in New Orleans. I don't know if they still do as I haven't been there is over 10 years.
@@rpcarrier oh that’s cool you mean the hand washing sinks?
i know Im randomly asking but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Kenzo Markus instablaster ;)
@Jameson Travis thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
i’ve been in there before. the energy in that building is unreal. i love detroit i pray it gets better
do you live in the area? I grew up there and visit frequently. Im actually goin back next week. I can say Detroit is getting better.
@@TiltedTripodMedia i live in warren
@@skyepawl4532 I assume you mean Warren Michigan not Warren Ohio. Lucky I miss Detroit.
@@TiltedTripodMedia yes warren, Mi :)
@@skyepawl4532 cool ill be up there tomorrow Monday
I also grew up in Detroit, and I remember when these structures were still in use. Coming back in 2020 has been a very interesting and eerie feeling as the world deals with a pandemic which actually feels a bit apocalyptic at times. Detroit is evolving into a new, different place. That is fun to see, but also there are so many places I knew as a child that are simply gone or so dilapidated, it defies logic!!
I highly agree. I visit from Ohio all the time
Very cool. This is one of abandoned buildings that I actually really enjoy exploring. Although it has been at least 10-15 years since I have. There is a room that sits on the top floor that is not particularly large but it is clean. Yeah the stairs are scary
Excellent content. The music edit at 13:50 was my favorite!
From Kalamazoo Michigan
I’m grew up in canton and Livonia only moving from the area in 2013 and I miss it
Would Be better if you just talked the Music messes it up.
I worked at Oldsmobile in Lansing Mi. as Skilled Trades Machine Repair/Machinist. There was a Fisher plant here also that I have been in. I'm quite sure the round object you asked about is a hand wash station. We had them too.
Yeah I figured that out. My dad was an engineer for Ford Chrysler and am general. He invented the army hummer so cars are definitely in the family having grown up in Detroit
That must’ve been very amazing to see especially with the history of this place sad to see it come to such ruins especially considering it was an amazing production site back in its grand days thanks for sharing great vlog ❤️👍🏼👍🏼
Yeah my family has long history around Detroit so I really enjoyed exploring this
My pal and I retired and took a road trip to The Henery Ford from Maine,We thought a lot of Detroit,seems to be on the rebound.Took a ride to Piquett St to see Fords Model T plant,saw this huge building up the street and did not know its history so now we do,do some more tours of Detroit plants,very interesting. Lets not forget Detroit made our country great back in the day ,Regards
I will absolutely be back to Detroit. My family and Detroit go back many generations. I grew up there my parents did and so don my grandparents on my moms side. On my dads side he moved to Detroit to work as an engineer at Chrysler the. Am general (gm military division) where he designed the original hummer) the. He worked at ford headquarters before quitting and going insane. I love Detroit and my parents remember Detroit rising to its peek in the 60s and how great it was. Sadly I was born when Detroit was already destroyed. However since moving to Ohio in 2016 Detroit has been making huge improvements and I can’t wait to document it and share it with the world. Thanks for supporting my work. Glad people are finally seeing Detroit for what it is. A great city not just ghetto.
I really enjoyed this video! Keep them coming!
I will I’m planning to go back to Detroit In the summer for more urbex
The music sounds a little like a Vangelis song from Blade Runner. Just an FYI. Also, I see some people commented on the "Wheel" you discovered. It is for washing hands, also most of those have a round metal tube near the floor that fits around the wash basin so workers can step on the tube to turn on the water instead of turning a faucet with hands that may be greasy.
This plant had multiple uses in the 60’s And 70’s. It was where the lo
Iimo bodies were made by modifying standard Cadillac bodies. It was also used as a pilot line for final assembly of new products prior to production runs. They also made welding guns. There was also a trim repair facility and repair parts shop.
Wow thanks I figured it was used for multiple things at different times as they often repurpose these factory’s in time of war.
12:17 Those resemble wash basins designed for multiple people to wash their hands. Something similar was installed at my grade school in the late 60s/early 70s. You depressed a bar close to the floor with your foot to dispense the water. I can't say for sure though.
Yes, we had it at the original Cass Tech High School
@Chris Clermont That's exactly what it is, you are right.
Awesome in-depth coverage and past information on these incredible and large buildings! Keep up the fire content and looking forward to another Kings Island video!
My next kings island video will probably be halloween haunt and winter fest
I am planning one for cedar point. I already went and filmed it
@@TiltedTripodMedia Nice! My husband, 6 kids and Ihave the Gold Pass to KI and thought we could meet you and partner in the future!
@@TiltedTripodMedia They go back to school this week so we probably will not make it back until Haunt as well. Love your videos!!!
That would be cool to do a video together
that old round wheel looking tub thing I Think is one of those round sinks used to wash your hands where a bunch of ppl could use it at one time they usually have a bar underneath to step on to turn the water on
See pined comment 😊
Man you have a great eye...the little details, the smooth camera moves, I appreciate it. I just moved to Detroit from Seattle. Drove past this gem that's infamous in the urbex world, and I was shocked how wide open it is, no fences or trespassing signs anywhere! I can't wait to get in there on my next day off!
Grew up in the Detroit suburbs and I miss it sooo much. At least Cincinnati isn’t too far and I can make day trips. Yes you will soon learn that you can freely explore abandoned places throughout Detroit and rarely if ever get stoped or harassed. It’s amazing.
You are lucky to be living in Michigan it’s a great state as is Ohio just for different reasons.
the large wheels you described are hand washing stations.
Yes your right friend
At 12:12 your "wheel" is a wash stand,so the workers could wash their hands/arms.
Up to 8 workers could use it at once
great video !! I don't know why, but I'm very interested in this city !!
It’s a great place and I mean metro Detroit as a whole. It will always be home even though I live in Ohio now.
Great video, thanks for posting. Most of my family moved to Detroit from Northeastern Tennessee and Southeastern Kentucky back in the day. Better pay and better conditions than the coal mines had to offer in Appalachia . Now all is about gone, so sad.
My entire family grew up there including me. Still love the place and all the change that is happening. Wish I hadn’t moved
Should stayed in Kentucky so you could married your sister.ha ha sorry I'm from northeast Tennessee. Bristol yo be exact an I completely get why your family got the fuck out of this shit state
the round thing is a wash basin there was a ring around it near the floor that you stepped on and water would stream into the basin and you washed up
The Large Round stone thing was a Hand washing Sink would have had a round tread around the bottom to step on for water.
ever since december 2010 when my dad mitchell and our cousin maurice went to detroit
i've had a crazy interest in this place,hard to explain
liked the video
rachel sunshine coast queensland australia
Yeah I love where I grew up and that I can visit it
It’s a sink for people to stand around and wash their hands.
@@brucehaigis3495 yeah that’s crazy huge for a sink
M y dad worked in that very building from 84 to 89 when it was Cameo color coat inc.
Teyah Herbin wow that’s fascinating. My family has a huge car history with my dad being an engineer at Ford Chrysler and gm. He designed the very first military hummer. So exploring this building was like exploring my family history. If you want I’ll go back to Detroit and film other abandoned places if you have any in mind.
Working for Fisher Body Livonia and at peak operation employed 5,500 workers and sadly closed after 1987 .Rousch (unsure it's business) has occupied the factory site and rents out space. Great work but remove the baseline as it tends to minimize the true value you gained graphicly.
Thanks
Maybe the wheel was a wash station to wash hands turned on by foot pedals..I could be wrong. The best city in America born In Detroit the city’s roots run deep. You can feel the realness of the Motor City 🙏🏽check out the Detroit Museum
Detroit runs in our blood the ones before us pushed hard by sweat and hard work and tears. God Bless
My entire family grew up there for generations including myself. Southfield Livonia and canton.
Nice!!!
Thanks
Can’t wait to get back to Detroit to explore more. I miss it
That round object looks like a hand washing station. In the middle was the head for the water and sprayed out like a fountain, usually operated by a foot pedal.
Would be cool to see it working.
That place looks like HEAVEN.....
for a 90's rap video!
If you're BELOW the age of 30.....
you just won't understand the connection between; *graffiti, urban decay, Boom Bap, 2 turntables and a MC.*
I’m 33 and do understand
@@TiltedTripodMedia
LoL... cool 👍🏽
that large wheel is a wash sink in the restrooms
When I went there where giant limestone spikes coming down from the ceilings on the upper floors they where pretty cool
When was this?
Bro that's not limestone it's a type of mold. They drip onto the floor too that's why under a lot of them there is a flat white hump
I've been there nice place love it.
Grew up going there
@@TiltedTripodMedia my favorite place so far.
@@ExploringWithBonnie13 hi Bonnie that’s my moms name aka the crazy old lady 🤣. Yeah it’s a cool place to explore
@@TiltedTripodMedia cool it a great name. 🤣
12:17 those remind me of hand washing sinks, hard to tell for sure since they are all busted up.
Read the above pinned comment for clarification 😂😂😂😀😀😀
Oh and that comment wasn’t meant to be rude either
@@TiltedTripodMedia oops, I skipped right over the pinned comment before I typed mine out lol.
@@mikebas7325 that’s ok it happens 😀
Notice how fast the K-R-I-T marque flies by? From Wikipedia: "The emblem of the [K-R-I-T] cars was a swastika (a symbol that was not yet associated with Nazism, Nazi Germany, Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, or antisemitism)."
Yes that symbol wasn’t negative to begin with
Thank you for not immediately associating this with Nazis. The swastika was historically a symbol of prosperity, good fortune, and good will. It can be found in ancient Greek carvings, Aztec, Hindu, and Asian art among others. It was hijacked by the German Nazi Party in the 1930s and thereafter associated mainly with them.
Probably the emr wash basin.
You didnt do the old packard factory and now its being demolished as i speak finally its going and making way for something else and the value of the land too.
Having grown up in Michigan. Once I became old enough and became interested in filming abandoned stuff I had already moved away around 2013. 2016 I moved back closer and could make day trips. However stepping foot inside the Packard plane was highly dangerous and would immediately get u arrested as it was patrolled. Plus it was in such ruin that it just wasn’t worth the risk. And I wish I had have been able to document it when it was more intact because my grandfather worked for Packard.
If there is any other cool place in Detroit you want me to cover I’ll gladly do so in the near future
That cup looks like a hand washing station
Yeah I stated that in the comment above 😊
back then when cars were awesome America had pride and people cared these video's I enjoy because it reminds me of what this country was and what this country lost only people like me I guess care glad I came across this video are you kidding Detroit will never come back it will never be as Great as it was nothing will be in this country to much change the biggest change are peoples attitude people now are only out for themselves the pride in this country is know where to be found shame to say it but it's true
I feel similar
The large round stone cup was a wash basin for the workers you obviously were in what was a locker room
See pinned comment 😊hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 😊
Yeah it probably was a company wash room
We called them "bird baths". There was a bar at the bottom that circled the basin to activate the water with your foot. Hands free! Way ahead of it's time 😂
those large round cup like things were hand/eye washing stations
I think you are the 100th person to tell me this lol 😂
Cool video, but I sort of have my doubts as to whether the Fisher Body Plant built WWII German Panzer tanks in 1943.
I’m not sure but I do know they built vehicles for the war effort as I had family members that have worked in the auto industry in Detroit for many generations.
@@TiltedTripodMedia The point I was trying to make, was that the photograph of "tanks" you used in your narration, is one of German Panzer tanks.
thanks
Thanks? What are you thanking me for 🤷♂️
@@TiltedTripodMedia For your video.
the large "wheel" 12:20 is a sink. Foot controls with a center fountain and everyone can stand around it and wash their stinky hands.
They used to make bodys and paint then bake them the ovens are on the 5th floor.
Not sure if this is the right vid., but I saw a goose who being a little aggressive.
There is a female goose who will be having ducklings and protecting that area and is usually on top of buildings or high areas.
It will hurt you if you get too close..
Don't take is personally, nature is doing its job.
Great videos!
I didn’t encounter any wildlife while visiting this area. However I have had many encounters with wildlife and am use to it. There is a park in Michigan called Kensington and the wildlife is so use to people. I grew up going there touching sand hill cranes deer and even a raccoon of course I let them approach me and even once a sandhill crane stole my Sandel and I had to chase it around. Even in my own backyard in Ohio ive had encounters with hawks foxes and deer. Thanks for the support. Oh I do have footage somewhere of baby sandhill cranes on their nest. It was incredible to see.
This may be the wrong video.
I was watching 2 young guys friend looking at the abandoned GM plants in detroit.
These guys were outside one of the buildings and on top of the building was a goose keeping close watch of them.
If you ever come across this with a goose in my story.
The male goose will stay with the female until she has her ducklings.
Take care
I think your referring to proper people
This place was in the movie Kin(2018)
Thanks that’s cool info
Sink for washing hands is circular object. Very 1960's
Marshall Yeah that didn’t look like a sink at all but I guess it could be really weird
I remember those hand washing sinks back in elementary school they had foot lever that u step on with your foot to turn water on
That’s cool
Update .. building in bought again, new owner said 6 million to rehab .. yeah ok .. we'll see stay tuned
Did you get to check out all floors?
Yes I believe I don’t miss any floors since I did make it to the roof
@@TiltedTripodMedia you from Detroit?
@@RangerRickTV yes I grew up there in the suburbs Lavonia and Canton and lived there until 2012
@@TiltedTripodMedia If you grew up in Livonia and Canton, you are not from Detroit.
@@darryldddd yes by definition I lived in the Detroit metro area and constantly went downtown. Anything the city of Detroit and Wayne county did affected me since I lived in the same county as Detroit. So yes I’m a detroiter
It’s a shame to see all of these buildings going to waste to bad they couldn’t turn them into some sort of Housing for the people that have no place to live
I agree with that
The love for the automobile used to be done with craftmanship and hand skills. Today its only numbers built by robots without a soul.
Very true
@@TiltedTripodMedia
Thanks
@@bluesharp59 I would like to say that having robots produce things would remove human error and defects as well as lower the cost to buy that product. Well unfortunately it just gives greedy corporations more profit when they continue selling the product at the same price but with lower production costs.
@@TiltedTripodMedia Thanks and I agree.
Trespassing is only illegal if you get caught.. So don't get caught
so, Dimitri Hegemann's plan to raise a techno club in this spot has been declined? Seems like a missed chance, no?
cancersoul that would be cool
THIS FILM IS NOT AS THE PROPER PEOPLE-EXPLORING DETROITS CAR FACTORY-JUL 13, 2019
Not sure what you mean? I’m not trying to be them. I don’t break into places breaking the law like they do. Detroit is where I grew up. It’s my turf and I know it well. I grew up exploring every inch of the city they didn’t. Thank you for watching and I hoped you enjoyed it.
Then it became Carter color coat until it went under do to the owner.
Those were sinks where employees could wash their hands.
Richard christianson hmmm not sure exactly what u are referencing in the video
The round ceramic things you showed and asked what they were lol. They had a foot petal around the bottom and u would step on it to start the water. The idea was more than could wash at a time thx
Richard christianson oh sorry it’s been I while since I’ve seen this video. Thanks for pointing that out 😊
Lol no problem good video
Richard christianson thanks I’m hoping to do more abandoned stuff soon problem is finding places u can go into without getting arrested
Those are foutains..
What are fountains?
@@TiltedTripodMedia Those round cement structures are hand washing sinks. Odd, I know but my old high school had them.
@@paulcorreggio4925 thanks for clarifying. I couldn’t imagine seeing those in a high school that must have been odd and taking up a lot of space
@@TiltedTripodMedia Yes, they did. There was a foot pedal to activate the water.
@@paulcorreggio4925 that’s cool
wash hands foutain
Correct
that was a sink. it had a "tower" in the center that would spray out water like a shower all around. there was a bar you stepped on to to let water flow.
See pined comment 😊
Its sad when Detroit was a good city and now its a sh#ty city of all time and filled with bankruptcys
Its my birth city and having lived there till age 23 my family also grew up there seeing it flourish in the 50s and 60s. Ive seen the city fall and now its rising from the ashes and reinventing itself. The suburbs and downtown are fantastic. Big companies are coming in, shopping is returning to downtown and they just put in light rail.
@@TiltedTripodMedia I want to know is Detroit going to make cars again are the car manufacturers going to come back to their home town
@@PontiacFan68 Detroit still does make cars. They manufacture about 7 different models In Detroit.
@@PontiacFan68 there are 3 active assembly plants within Detroit itself and several more in the suburbs.
@@TiltedTripodMedia will Detroit had a huge rise than a deep fall but a recover rise the after fall effect o also there is a new ev start up in Detroit its called Bollinger I don't know where the factory is in Detroit and I don't know when they will start production tho nice tour of the abandonment tho
Not sure why you think all the graffiti is super cool...to me it's just a human trash calling card...
Depends. If it’s graffiti that’s artistic then I do enjoy it. If it’s just someone scribbling or tagging the place up then no. I’ve seen some graffiti around Detroit that’s absolutely incredible.
