They looked liked a really nice place to live. I think in the off times...weekends, traffic noise would be acceptable. The story is they sold out for a planned retirement village. You'd think the owners would be trying to sell these off if they aren't being developed.
I only saw two spray paintings in all of the houses, and one was not even on the walls, and I don't think I saw a single hole in the wall or anything like that
I'm waiting for the day you break into someones house thinking it's abandoned. "Everything's still here, It's like a time capsule! This place must have been recently been abandoned, there's still hot coffee in the coffee pot, and today's newspaper on the table."
Hey that's around my neck of the woods. From what I've heard I believe that all the home owners sold their properties to a developer that wants to build a medical facility of some sort. I believe that the last person moved out less then a year ago. It's strange seeing you visit a place so close to me!
It (was) off Kildaire Farm Rd. in Cary on a little street named "Gurnsey Trail" Now it's populated with steel frames that will be the future home of "WakeMed" offices...
Lol...even when the houses were marked for being demolished.....and now do not exist....do kids really need to pay windows in a house that was bought only to be destroyed? Lol do some research plz.
It's disturbing how many idiots would trash a home that doesn't belong to them. I wonder what would motivate someone to do that.. Aparently it happens all the time! 😞😞
that light shining through the attic at around 3:45 scared the shit out of me. Looked like someone was standing in the dark with a melted scream mask on.
Ugh. This is heartbreaking. After my dad died, my mom decided to move back to her hometown, and we left the only house I ever called home. I get upset thinking about the place and how there's another family living in it, and all our pets are still buried in the yard. These abandoned houses used to be someone's home. Most people aren't as sentimental as I am, but I would be devastated if my childhood home was vandalized and left in this condition. 🙁
I just don't believe the occupants would have done that to their own place.. So many idiot's breaking into these place's, just to destroy what they can.. I don't get it.
For those who don't know, this neighborhood was The Ponderosa in Cary, NC. It has since been demolished and is now an assisted living facility/medical center. You can still see it on street view (look up Brightmore Cary), but its crazy to see the whole neighborhood like this. Looks like it was a nice neighborhood at one point.
These are really nice houses. A couple of them still look like they could be brought back without too much work. What a darn shame. Punks really love to break glass... and why do they hate TVs so much?
Another explorer went in there fairly recently. Sorry but I don't recall which explorer. But anyway, he posted a link about the property. A developer purchased all that property and plans to develop it into something else. All the houses are supposed to be demolished at some point, but in the meantime, the developer is allowing Habitat For Humanity to go into the houses and strip them of anything that can be used, including any furniture and appliances left behind. But the house with the console TV that was smashed is one of the ones the other explorer went into, and the TV wasn't smashed then. So judging from the amount of vandalism seen in your video, if Habitat doesn't get on the ball, there soon won't be anything left worth salvaging.
Dan's Adventureland Previous to the vandalism, there is a better video of this same neighborhood and property, by RnK All Day. They take time to show more. (This guy rushes through and talks too much).
@@WATCHINGTHEWATCHERS doubt it its still empty. And doesn't look like the ppl of Cary gonna let the request and permits pass.so yeah wonder what the going price for them are now
There is going to be construction of a medical offices, and a 370 unit senior care facility this summer and will be opening early 2018 called Paraclete Park. (source, usnews.com, March 17, 2017.) Just using my Columbo-like research skills!
Here is official answer As for plans for the neighborhood, it sits strangely and scarily abandoned right now, but in the future Leahwood noted, "The entire neighborhood agreed to put their entire community up for sale as commercial property. The reason for this, some neighbors are saying, is because Cary has experienced such rapid development. Twenty years ago, that area of Kildaire Farms Road wasn't so busy and built up. Unhappy with the fast pace of growth, but not always able to afford to just up and move, sometimes neighborhoods create this kind of solution. So the rapid expansion of Cary is partially to blame. These are nice houses -- according to Zillow, many are worth between $250-300k. The company that bought the neighborhood is planning to raze the houses and build a senior living community."
They already did years ago when these houses were built. Because of the device you are using now, millions of little critters have died...more so than with housing or buildings going up.
I would love to know what happened there. Those houses looked fairly newly abandoned. Like maybe mid 90's, judging from some of the posters on the wall in one of them.
Jess Hammond well really 25 years ago is not that long ago. Come on if you can basically blink and a whole decade goes by, whats 25 years? He said "fairly new". They could be houses from the 70s or 80s.
What makes this abandoned neighborhood more eerie then most of is fact that the economy and housing market in Cary both rank top ten national. This isnt a mining community, a under developed slum, or a place that was heavily effected by the recession. Just makes me think what really happened in this quiet neighborhood
The owners of 13 homes along Guernsey Trail near WakeMed Cary Hospital sold their homes last year to a developer who plans to build a senior care center, medical offices, and a hotel. Read more here: www.newsobserver.com/news/local/counties/wake-county/article139671303.html#storylink=cpy
We had somewhat the same thing where I grew up. I guess the state bought up a couple of subdivisions to build a highway interchange that never happened. They where left abandoned for years before the state dosed them
that highway noise is terrible....I wonder if the highway was built after the houses as this might explain why people left...poor planning by the local gov I hope the folks got their money back
sam ishere, the owners sold their homes to a developer that's going to build senior care facilities. As for the highway, if it bothered them they could of had the state highway department put in a sound barrier wall. By the looks of it those homes came after that highway. The highway is probably one reason that neighborhood ever came to be.
I would think that after a while the people would get used to the noise and not even pay attention to it any more. I know I wouldn't leave a beautiful place like those houses just because of the noise. Was there traffic noise when they moved there or was the highway built afterwards?
If you check the tax records history for names of people living there 15-20 years ago. Most people will only move about 15 to 30 miles away. The street still maintain by the county. I would say, it was a dump site. In the 60's and 70's (they) just pay someone in a pick-up truck to dump. (they) never ask to know where. The kids older now, they can talk while they had to move and there were kids.
Michael Moore is now doing abandoned neighborhoods. Thanks MIKE! And the trowway hat was because all the debris on it look like a massive bee stinger attack
Well there's a urbex site that people can sign up for but there's another process to get accepted into an exclusive part once you get to know serious urban explorers. Not exactly a secret but pretty cool.
wow! i live in cary north carolina. this video is so strange to me because the entire city is filled with country clubs, everything is in pristine shape and brand new. i always hated cary because it feels like youre in a bubble full of rich people but this is very unusual for my town AND I LOVE IT! im definitely going here and exploring. thanks for the vid edit: it turns out the neighborhood was demolished and i believe an apartment complex is being put up :(
Hey Jake! Check out a town called Ocracoke NC. It's a completely abandoned town that's hidden away from society. That would really be an adventure if you could make it out there!
If it's a whole neighborhood it's usually a recession (the builder went broke before closing all the homes), banks refuse to deal with these situations. There was a recession in 1987 that did something similar near where I live, entire blocks like ghost towns.
I can think of only one reason to abandon a nice neighborhood as this. Something toxic. It would only take a phone call to the town offices to find out what happened. It would have been easy and it would have made this video better.
It was the rapid expansion of Cary who made people in that area to move.Cary North Carolina is also one of the safest places to live in USA. www.onlyinyourstate.com/north-carolina/abandoned-neighborhood-ne/amp/ (As plans for the neighborhood, it sits strangely and scarily abandoned right now, but in the future Leahwood noted, "The entire neighborhood agreed to put their entire community up for sale as commercial property.

carpet, another youtuber has been there, according to the records they found. the residents got tired of all the highway traffic, an decided to all go in togther an sell as one huge lot.
Jamie Smith I doubt it was the noise. after a while you get used to it an never hear it. I live by base and never heard the planes any more unless I am in the back pasture mowing. then again they are always doing loop to loops it seems when I am back there
The noise may have played a roll, but knowing Cary, they bought the development out to build a parking lot or another housing development with way more house built practically on top of each other.
The blue house belonged to the developer of the subdivision. I ran across an old article about the homeowners wanting to sell. What was interesting was that the people in the subdivision didn't interact with each other and all but two families had no attachment to their homes.
Jacob you have to get the low-down on why the neighborhood was vacant,you now got me curious-crazy!? I think the reason the vandals didn't break the mirrors, because of the superstition (seven years bad luck),windows and tvs are a different story.. Such a waste of nice houses and land...Thanks for sharing...
WOW, too funny! This is the first video I clicked on the You Tube homepage and ironically we just visited Cary last week and will be moving there later this Summer!
I was born in Golsboro Nortg Carolina, such a beautiful state, my grandparents live in Kings Mountain and Raliegh. I love it there, the sound of North Carolina in your video is breath taking, just beautiful love it
at around 7:09, when your talking about how creepy it is, look behind you by a tree it looks like a female ghost in a dress. I'm not sure because my eyes are bad but it is strange.
Maybe it was a film set, site for military/army training, experimentation of architecture, practicing sites for CSIs, hide and go seek, BB/pellet gun course, or it could just be a cover-up to some huge underground facility that is using the abandoned neighborhood to prevent satellites and any other device from seeing and detecting them through scans and pictures. So many possibilities and potential
Great videos. Lots of people makes this kind of videos. For once I wish they would do a bit of studies and tell a little history of these places...why it was abandoned.
I know its gonna sound bad in a way, but when he panned around at 3:55 my damn heart skipped 8 beats. LOL scared the shit out of me, i thought another dude was standing there.
They probably lost their houses all at the same time starting around 2008 when the economy took a dump and there were predatory lenders. Sad that they have been vandalized but that is the evil world we live in.
you can goto records dept of Town of Cary and find out..possible causes 0)Balloon payment after 5 years so you pay a nice low mortgage of maybe 1000/month when the balloon comes due which may double your payment..split and leave the keys in the front door 1)Property Taxes went thru the roof and property-owners walked away rather than pay 2)Tainted Drinking Water..in which case EPA should be contacted to declare SuperFund Site 3)Malfeasance on the part of GC ..although (that doesnt explain why the houses were occupied ) 4)Lack of Security is a concern..local hooligans can sneak in from nearby Highway and cause all manner of vandalism 5)SAS Cary NC laid off and 50% of the people were yankees went home when laid off if you are in CARY goto TownHall and look at LandRecords for that street and tell us what the records say?
CB, at around 7:29 (or so) you stated: "Look at that..., glass wall. How on Earth has that not been smashed?" That's a no brainer son! In this videos, there are a ton of smashed windows and glass, but no smashed MIRRORS. Therefore? the vandals are superstitious! Peace!
Crazy how you could wander a neighborhood for so long but you couldn't stop at the local Chamber of Commerce or Library and try to find out what actually happened. It is likely not the Zombie Apocalypse. Being a better researcher...#Goals
AsianGlow why would you want someone to get charged for their hobby? Who is he hurting? Just your feelings. He said he’ll never know because he doesn’t care. You can enjoy urban exploration without the back story. Just because you want it doesn’t mean you’re entitled to it. If you want to know so bad go yourself. Don’t watch his videos. If YOU care more than he does to know the backstory then he’s right. Look it up yourself.
@j1ggly - A hobby usually entails participating in unpaid, legal activities. You can enjoy urban exploring as a journalists, there's leeway in somewhat of a grey area (their intent is to report, not trespass).
I didnt come here to know what happened lmfao. I came to see cool abandoned houses. He isnt hurting a damn thing walking around in there. He isnt breaking anything.
Cool Ramar of the Jungle hat!!! I had a plastic one when I was a kid. Thank you for this cool video. Amazing the people who used to live in these homes must have been very rich!!!!
Beautiful homes, would love to see the before and after. I imagine kids playing and pets running around; people having a BBQ or leaving for work. Be careful out there carpetbagger!
Very cool Jacob. Thanks again! Shame to see all of those beautiful homes destroyed for what ever reason. I love these types of videos, but my mind is always screaming "WHY"? Just such waste!
Carpetbagger: "I'm not old." Also carpetbagger: not only says hooligan 8 times in 10 minutes but also makes his own word out of it. "Hooliganisation" is now in my dictionary. Thank you sir. 😂
I enjoyed this particularly because you mentioned that it was unnerving being in such a large abandoned area. Last Saturday I explored a Village Hospital which is basically a collection of old buildings covering about 1 square mile or so. It was very quiet, I got lost and my phone died which added to my anxiety!
Here's the information about this. back in the eighties the residents put their entire neighborhood up for sale to a commercial developer because a five-lane highway was being built next to them. You can hear it in the video. Here's the original article from 1988: articles.chicagotribune.com/1988-07-17/business/8801150858_1_shopping-center-shopping-malls-neighborhood
Wow so cool and so weird. Upper middle class to upper class homes with dirt driveways. Never seen that before. And that big 2 story brick house you went in had 60s or 70s style tvs and pics of the Bee Gees, the Doors, and other groups from the 60s-70s still on the walls. Really strange. Like going back to the Brady Bunch era.
I read of a neighborhood that was built on a landfill. The methane gas was bubbling up and starting to burn. They were given a few hours to pack up and leave.
It was the cyborgs! Who else could spell that well!?!?!?! Did you check the basements, that's were the cyborgs are breeding with alligators! They need the tail to swim through space. You are funny dude! Thanks you carpetbagger!😎😃😂😊😉
Crazy how we have so many people homeless but whole neighborhoods abandoned.
The Forestas yep.
that name fits so well with that picture brah
The Forestas exactly! I was thinking the same thing. I was like, why don't we round up all the homeless and give send them here! lol
Emily L. because that doesnt make money
Juan Cena I know I know but it'd be amazing.
That's a shame. Those were some nice homes on huge lots. That highway noise would get to me though.
They looked liked a really nice place to live. I think in the off times...weekends, traffic noise would be acceptable. The story is they sold out for a planned retirement village. You'd think the owners would be trying to sell these off if they aren't being developed.
I was thinking the same thing. Especially with all that vandalism .I'm a trucker so the highway noises would be music to my ears!!
I only saw two spray paintings in all of the houses, and one was not even on the walls, and I don't think I saw a single hole in the wall or anything like that
T Ev there was several holes in the walls of the first home, not to mention smashed windows and televisions
I lived by a highway growing up, you surprisingly get used to the noise, and it doesn't bother you as much after the first month.
I'm waiting for the day you break into someones house thinking it's abandoned.
"Everything's still here, It's like a time capsule! This place must have been recently been abandoned, there's still hot coffee in the coffee pot, and today's newspaper on the table."

They left because they got sick of youtubers walking in on them
Hey! There's even fresh poop in the toilet and everything!

It (was) off Kildaire Farm Rd. in Cary on a little street named "Gurnsey Trail" Now it's populated with steel frames that will be the future home of "WakeMed" offices...
Yeah I would move out and leave all that old furniture behind too if they gave me over $1M to move out of a house valued at
Sean Haley thanks for clearing that up.
I just looked this up because it sparked my curiosity. The latest thing I read was that the homes are now demolished.
Such a shame. Some of those houses are really beautiful. The first one he went into had gorgeous flowers in the front.
Luna LeBlanc I loved the mirrored wall in the next house. I agree it's a shame to see such lovely homes just abandoned.
This makes me sick. Why do people have to trash empty houses? I really wish they would get caught and made to pay for all their "fun".
Lol...even when the houses were marked for being demolished.....and now do not exist....do kids really need to pay windows in a house that was bought only to be destroyed? Lol do some research plz.
It's disturbing how many idiots would trash a home that doesn't belong to them. I wonder what would motivate someone to do that.. Aparently it happens all the time! 😞😞
It's annoying but they probably think no one wants them. It helps the owner as it stops squoters taking over.
But it’s fun to break stuff
My view on it, they should at least take the stuff and not break it, they could sell it to someone who needs it
its heart breaking seeing all these beautiful houses vandalised... and empty. can't the state hand them over the the vets that need houses
the house with the glass wall is one of the nicest ones there. it's sad to see that the whole neighborhood is gone😕 it makes me want to explore
that light shining through the attic at around 3:45 scared the shit out of me. Looked like someone was standing in the dark with a melted scream mask on.

Me too!
Vlad M same! I'm glad it wasn't just me!
Nightcrawler 2 you what, mate?
Vlad M omg me too even after I read your comment my heart dropped watching it eeekkkk
Such a sad statement on our society.. So much could be reclaimed and reused.. Beautiful doors.. Cabinets.. Appliances.. Just left to rot. Sad.
paragod1011 even the older electronics that have been broken. At one time they definitely could have been used
It's being redeveloped the home owners got alot more money then the houses where worth to move out.
The developers actually donated a lot to habitat
Ugh. This is heartbreaking. After my dad died, my mom decided to move back to her hometown, and we left the only house I ever called home.

Me too
it's so sad to see a beautiful neighborhood go from a place of memories to an abandoned village. it's so heartbreaking to see that happened
Gah, I can't stand the sight of vandalism...
Lol the houses were condemned to be destroyed whats it matter?
I just don't believe the occupants would have done that to their own place.. So many idiot's breaking into these place's, just to destroy what they can.. I don't get it.
I'm with ya, love to snoop. But never broke shit as a kid

It wasn't because the noise. It was because wake medical paid then considerably more than the houses were worth, in order to redevelop the land.
This was awesome. I love those old houses, they have so much to say. Feels like you’ve gone back in time 😍 the stone decor (was it a fireplace?) 👌

(As plans for the neighborhood, it sits strangely and scarily abandoned right now, but in the future Leahwood noted, "The entire neighborhood agreed to put their entire community up for sale as commercial property. The reason for this, some neighbors are saying, is because Cary has experienced such rapid development. Twenty years ago, that area of Kildaire Farms Road wasn't so busy and built up. Unhappy with the fast pace of growth, but not always able to afford to just up and move, sometimes neighborhoods create this kind of solution. So the rapid expansion of Cary is partially to blame. These are nice houses -- according to Zillow, many are worth between $250-300k. The company that bought the neighborhood is planning to raze the houses and build a senior living community.)
carpet, another youtuber has been there, according to the records they found. the residents got tired of all the highway traffic, an decided to all go in togther an sell as one huge lot.
Jamie Smith I doubt it was the noise. after a while you get used to it an never hear it. I live by base and never heard the planes any more unless I am in the back pasture mowing. then again they are always doing loop to loops it seems when I am back there
Jamie Smith I live by 2 military bases and I don't even notice the noise anymore. That's some good spots to be giving up nice homes in wooded areas.
The noise may have played a roll, but knowing Cary, they bought the development out to build a parking lot or another housing development with way more house built practically on top of each other.
unfortunately when rnk went, those houses did not look as bad.
Bank forfeitures
The blue house belonged to the developer of the subdivision. I ran across an old article about the homeowners wanting to sell. What was interesting was that the people in the subdivision didn't interact with each other and all but two families had no attachment to their homes.
You remind me of the dude from Blues Traveler...!
Wish you would have done a little backstory of what happened.
such a beautiful house.
Loved every minute. I like how you focused on going from room to room showing the floor plan of each house.
There's not a single house for sale. The neighborhood is condemned. Something is seriously wrong here.
Earthling Smith a developer bought the neighborhood...nothing wrong
It wasn't condemned lol. They were gorgeous homes until the people sold out and moved in 2016.
Great video! Stopping in to drop a like and show some love!!!
Lol... he basically told us what happened at the 1:00 min mark
Jacob you have to get the low-down on why the neighborhood was vacant,you now got me curious-crazy!? I think the reason the vandals didn't break the mirrors, because of the superstition (seven years bad luck),windows and tvs are a different story.. Such a waste of nice houses and land...Thanks for sharing...
No wonder they moved out. The freeway/highway noise is a bit much.

WOW, too funny! This is the first video I clicked on the You Tube homepage and ironically we just visited Cary last week and will be moving there later this Summer!
maybe you walked into the walking dead set
Yes! Carl's hat!
I was born in Golsboro Nortg Carolina, such a beautiful state, my grandparents live in Kings Mountain and Raliegh. I love it there, the sound of North Carolina in your video is breath taking, just beautiful love it
Storm drain, sewer is a different system
Rick Smooth no one cares
You got guts going to all these abandon places hell especially by your self stay safe man ur seem like a good guy
at around 7:09, when your talking about how creepy it is, look behind you by a tree it looks like a female ghost in a dress. I'm not sure because my eyes are bad but it is strange.
Blue Rose looks like a dead tree but it did look shaped like that
Yeah it what was left of a dead tree,I had rewind a couple of times it goes by fast.
Maybe it was a film set, site for military/army training, experimentation of architecture, practicing sites for CSIs, hide and go seek, BB/pellet gun course, or it could just be a cover-up to some huge underground facility that is using the abandoned neighborhood to prevent satellites and any other device from seeing and detecting them through scans and pictures. So many possibilities and potential
So they're going to put a senior's home there? The elderly deserve some peace and serenity. I couldn't stand 15 minutes of that highway racket.
Old people can't hear shit.
Donna Reinhart , most Senior citizens won't be able to hear, or they be sleeping , or turn their hearing aids down, lol
They can’t frickin hear
Great videos. Lots of people makes this kind of videos. For once I wish they would do a bit of studies and tell a little history of these places...why it was abandoned.
Huntington West Virginia, Camden Park
I know its gonna sound bad in a way, but when he panned around at 3:55 my damn heart skipped 8 beats. LOL scared the shit out of me, i thought another dude was standing there.
They probably lost their houses all at the same time starting around 2008 when the economy took a dump and there were predatory lenders. Sad that they have been vandalized but that is the evil world we live in.
Nope...sold to a developer
Linda Lowe shut up Bitch what are u implying 😒
nice homes, loud freaking interstate but nice homes. sounds pretty quiet inside even with windows being busted
Did you do any research or ask around why these homes were abandoned? That would have made this vid better!
john sims retirement community and assisted living to be opened in 2018
Well, here I am watching this in January 2018, any progress?
you can goto records dept of Town of Cary and find out..possible causes
0)Balloon payment after 5 years so you pay a nice low mortgage of maybe 1000/month when the balloon comes due which may double your payment..split and leave the keys in the front door
1)Property Taxes went thru the roof and property-owners walked away rather than pay
2)Tainted Drinking Water..in which case EPA should be contacted to declare SuperFund Site
3)Malfeasance on the part of GC ..although (that doesnt explain why the houses were occupied )
4)Lack of Security is a concern..local hooligans can sneak in from nearby Highway and cause all manner
of vandalism
5)SAS Cary NC laid off and 50% of the people were yankees went home when laid off
if you are in CARY goto TownHall and look at LandRecords for that street and tell us what the records say?

CB, at around 7:29 (or so) you stated: "Look at that..., glass wall. How on Earth has that not been smashed?" That's a no brainer son! In this videos, there are a ton of smashed windows and glass, but no smashed MIRRORS. Therefore? the vandals are superstitious! Peace!
Crazy how you could wander a neighborhood for so long but you couldn't stop at the local Chamber of Commerce or Library and try to find out what actually happened. It is likely not the Zombie Apocalypse. Being a better researcher...#Goals
+SillyRabbit 419 maybe I didn't care #whydontyouresearchityourself
Agreed. Hope Carpetbagger gets charged for trespassing for all his videos. Maybe he'll learn to care.
AsianGlow why would you want someone to get charged for their hobby? Who is he hurting? Just your feelings. He said he’ll never know because he doesn’t care. You can enjoy urban exploration without the back story. Just because you want it doesn’t mean you’re entitled to it. If you want to know so bad go yourself. Don’t watch his videos. If YOU care more than he does to know the backstory then he’s right. Look it up yourself.
@j1ggly - A hobby usually entails participating in unpaid, legal activities. You can enjoy urban exploring as a journalists, there's leeway in somewhat of a grey area (their intent is to report, not trespass).
I didnt come here to know what happened lmfao. I came to see cool abandoned houses. He isnt hurting a damn thing walking around in there. He isnt breaking anything.
Cool Ramar of the Jungle hat!!! I had a plastic one when I was a kid. Thank you for this cool video. Amazing the people who used to live in these homes must have been very rich!!!!
what happened was a black person moved into the neighborhood. So everyone just left.
christopher gaughan dumbass
With that hat on I expected your opening to be "Hello Jerry"
Beautiful homes, would love to see the before and after. I imagine kids playing and pets running around; people having a BBQ or leaving for work. Be careful out there carpetbagger!
And for the record, this neighborhood has been razed and now built upon.
Very cool Jacob. Thanks again! Shame to see all of those beautiful homes destroyed for what ever reason. I love these types of videos, but my mind is always screaming "WHY"? Just such waste!
Carpetbagger: "I'm not old." Also carpetbagger: not only says hooligan 8 times in 10 minutes but also makes his own word out of it. "Hooliganisation" is now in my dictionary. Thank you sir. 😂
I enjoyed this particularly because you mentioned that it was unnerving being in such a large abandoned area. Last Saturday I explored a Village Hospital which is basically a collection of old buildings covering about 1 square mile or so. It was very quiet, I got lost and my phone died which added to my anxiety!
Here's the information about this. back in the eighties the residents put their entire neighborhood up for sale to a commercial developer because a five-lane highway was being built next to them. You can hear it in the video. Here's the original article from 1988: articles.chicagotribune.com/1988-07-17/business/8801150858_1_shopping-center-shopping-malls-neighborhood
Wow so cool and so weird. Upper middle class to upper class homes with dirt driveways. Never seen that before. And that big 2 story brick house you went in had 60s or 70s style tvs and pics of the Bee Gees, the Doors, and other groups from the 60s-70s still on the walls. Really strange. Like going back to the Brady Bunch era.
I hope they got above market prices for their homes. That's a beautifully location. Those homes are for a lot of folks dream homes. Nice video
I read of a neighborhood that was built on a landfill. The methane gas was bubbling up and starting to burn. They were given a few hours to pack up and leave.
Love the “IT” joke! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Such nice places. It's a shame. Thanks for another great video.
It was the cyborgs! Who else could spell that well!?!?!?! Did you check the basements, that's were the cyborgs are breeding with alligators! They need the tail to swim through space. You are funny dude! Thanks you carpetbagger!😎😃😂😊😉
Very interesting Jacob. Nice homes, left to ruin. I bet it is creepy walking around in there, but looks less sketchy than empty homes near the city.
Cool vid...and yes..I'm following you EVERYWHERE!!!
This was interesting.
I am living vicariously through you, carpetbagger! I enjoy your videos.
