- Abandoned Thrift Town - Warren, OH. Not sure of when this closed. Sad sight to see regardless. I would have loved to shop here or at least check it out when it was open.

“Come on down to Thrift Town” Dang It’s closed! Thanks WallieB26! Excellent Video! Shout Outs To Kayla & The Z24!
Thank you
It stinks it was closed! I would have loved to check it out when it was in business had I known!
It used to be a banquet hall and restaurant before thrift town moved in. It was called mcmenemys
Oh wow! Cool! Thanks for the info. I was wondering. Looked like a pretty nice place.
WallieB26 no problem you’re welcome. It was they used to have wedding receptions and bike nights there. Eddie money played there ounce too. Plus cherry Monroe l. They were a rock band based out of Youngstown here. They were signed to universal records. But broke up a year after their first record was released.
Drove by a couple weeks ago and thought "when did mcmenemy's close?". I'm a little behind.
It was a pretty fun bar at one time as well. They had live music outside in the back during the summer. Owners ran it into the ground. Was a shame. The church that was next to the old Super Kmart is moving there. From what I have heard they are tearing the building down and starting over
Bmw Styles do you know when Thrift Town moved in?
Born and raised in Ohio. Love the Fall and Winter. Hate Summer and the heat. 👍🏼♥️❄️
Massachusetts Resident Same Here Too!
Back in the 60s it used to called Fairway as it was a huge market for everything and anything...my dad used to take us kids there as they had toys and trinkets for kids also. Then mcmenemys move in and I live across from there and you could hear and feel the music on bike night lol...it was a big restaurant and bar....thrift town moved in there about 3 years ago and I believe they left at the end of 2018.
My hometown!
Nice!
Awesome video Wallie, you & Kayla are an awesome couple, & the Z24 is awesome too. keep up the good work.
Good videos
This neighborhood is colloquially known as McKinley Heights. And yea as others have said it was originally an Irish pub/restaurant/banquet hall called McMenemys. Last time I remember going there was summer 2008, I don't remember when they finally closed but I do remember their closing followed a long and painful bankruptcy saga. Thrift Town took over circa 2012 (don't quote me on that), no idea when they closed
Was originally a discount department store named Fairway in late 50’s-early 70’s. Sold a lot of cheap Japanese junk. Empty for years before opened as Mcmenamys banquet hall and bar/restaurant. Great place to drink and listen to bands on outdoor stage. Yeah they had outdoor bar under big permanent tent. Owners ran into bankruptcy problems and final straw was Niles cop who lived nearby filed several lawsuits over noise from outdoor stage. Local police and highway patrol made a killing by sitting nearby and charging DUI which caused patrons to stop going there. Sat empty awhile before thrift shop opened. Was a real fire hazard with old furniture and appliances packed in with narrow aisles. Heard owner was pretty far behind in rent to whoever owned building. Grace church that was in plaza where abandoned Kmart is on rt46 by Eastwood Mall bought building and is supposed to remodel but I don’t know. That was a while ago with nothing done. Those chunks in asphalt in front by main entrance was where they had a really nice produce stand. Owners erected a big permanent pavilion style roof. Owners rented space from guy that ran thrift store. Shame. They put a lot of $$ in pavilion. Anyhow, that’s my story.
PS I grew up across the street from this building.
Hi Walie and wow no more thrift town it a ghost town and great video take care
Pretty awesome!!
Use to be a restaurant/ bar. Would have live music every Friday night. Grew up about 1 mile down the street, and could hear the music from my house. Thrift town though? Not very cool. I think it was there for maybe a year ish? Now during the summer they have fresh produce tables out front.
You guys do great together I hope you guys keep it up👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊.
I just got word that the kmart in seven hills Ohio is going to be demolished for a new Meijer location I will keep you posted when demolition starts
Hmmmmm.... *Yeah seems open every day*
That restaurant looks awesome 😎
What an awsome find there Wallie loved how cool that place looked. Thanks for another awsome amazing video
I didn't know that store closed. I haven't been that way in a long time though I live just a few miles away.
I hate the snow also.
Hey wallie
Hey!
I’m surprised that you don’t find more dead (or living) critters when you do your exploring! 🐀🐍🦝🦇
Thrift stores are awesome, thanks for the video
Did you see the Toys R Us in Warren is now a Big Lots? It used to be across the street by Gabes. They had the older Big Lots sign which I'm hoping didn't get destroyed
Awe poor mouse.We have found a few dead animals on some of our explores.That is a big place though and alot of stuff just lying around.
I'm just a few blocks down it's called mcmenamy's they used to have weddings and banquets on the one side, a restaurant on the other side, in a really cool bar on the end with an outdoor bar as they would have concerts there every Friday cornhole.. it's sad what happened to the place
I pass this property all the time. I never realized how huge it is! Screw the naysayers!!! Great Vlog! ❤️👍😎
I own a fitness center nearby the old thrift town which used to be mcmenamys banquet center. Now a church is moving in thrift town.
Awesome video as always❤❤❤
Man cool video
Great video, I would have to say that this was another one of my favorites. I love to see vintage places like this one. Also had a quick question, where did you get the music at the end of the video? Cool little tune. Looking forward to your next video, take care and stay awesome.
This place used to be a banquet hall and restaurant called McMenemys but it closed and Thrift Town moved in. Thrift Town closed because a Grace Fellowship Church bought the property and are going to renovate the building into their new church location. Here is the website gracelives.com/325
I drove past this several times and was wondering if it was abandoned. I made the mistake of filmimg Yamato which was closed on a monday 😄
Lol I did that once with a place that was in rough shape but was only closed for the night. Definitely film this place! Its awesome as hell!
@@WallieB26 i gotta check that out. In youngstown theres an abandoned ITT Tech i want too check out
So sad it was a really nice place when it was Mcnenamy’s banquet hall I believe that’s were I had my 10 year high school reunion in 2001. I believe the building used to be green. Ty enjoyed your video
*_Fun times with the beach umbrella in Alvira_*
_RIP beach umbrella_
Nillllleeeeesss
Nice
I went to many functions there when it was McMenamy's banquet hall a lot of fun times! It wasn't a thrift store for very long. Sad to see the place so ramshackled.
still has basic power, the exit signs still lit
Thanks for the shout out. Did you say winter? I got my furnace on right meow lol not. That is one cool find. Did you find food that day? Lol
Great video! What an interesting place--too bad it's closed. I like thrift stores 'cause you never know what you'll find in them. Poor mouse, tho!😔😓
The late, great Eddie Money played there a few years back!
This place looks awesome. Shame it's gone
I feel like ive driven past that
But that payphone though lol
Hi, I love the look of the Kmart store in your intro, where is (or was) that store located?
That was the Shaler, PA Kmart that closed in January of this year. That was my lifelong store that's just over the hill from my home less than 3 miles away. Was the first Kmart built in the Pittsburgh area was one of the first 10 foundation stores for the company opening in 1966.
Awesome video. Didn't know you play drums man. Learn something new about ya every day. Should do a drum solo video that would be cool. Not like I haven't watched some drum cover vids on youtube LOL.
I really miss mcmenameys
Ahh fuck, why did you remind me of Minnesota's 7 month long winters
JUST ANNOUNCED: triblive.com announced that Sears is now closing the Leechburg PA Kmart in mid December. :( liquidation sales begin in mid September.
Grace Fellowship Church which was ironically next to the old Super K Mart purchased this Thrift Store building and will be the future home of their new church.
Very interesting to see that cart, I work at a Dollar General Market 🤔😉
I think the lettering on the home depot cart is just generic because my home depot store still has that same cart with that lettering. That old school time clock though!
Not abandoned. It used to be a banquet hall and was recently bought by my church. We're just awaiting the remodel so we can move in!
Hey Wallie. How's it going. Good video. ✌️
Cool 😀
I’m the same with you I love summer weather and i also don’t like the snow and the cold weather too
wallie theres a abandoned kings restaurant in grove city pa near the premium outlets shopping mall 1920 Leesburg Grove City Rd, Grove City, PA 16127, USA can you film it thanks nice video
Best video ever wallie
Thank you for the kind words

A church recently bought this land and will be building soon
Michael Moore Well the parking lot needs major TLC to it before the church moves or builds on the property
Yoo I’m from Long Island NY they closing my local Kmart in farmingville NY Long Island November 13 Th that would be cool if you visited that Kmart!
It's only been closed a few months. Idk when you recorded this but it hasn't been long and they were only there maybe 6 months.
This was published in august it had only been closed a month or so lol. The guy running it was a hillbilly joke anyway.
