I know you don’t see this motel as that good but when I worked and lived at a motel a few years back, it wasn’t as nice as this one. The rooms I cleaned didn’t have kitchenettes. Mini fridges and microwaves If you were lucky. These rooms are far more spacious as well. It makes for easy living. No last months rent to pay and no credit checks. Not bad. Great video. 🇨🇦❤️🤗🙏🏻
Yes, i thought the motel was a little bit cheap and rundown at the time of filming but i still really enjoyed the explore. No doubt though that the rooms in the video were very large and spacious compared to your average hotel room. Thanks for the comment!!
I think they just didn't have enough income to keep up with the maintenance of the building. A lot of these small mom and pops motels are suffering the same date these days. It's mostly due to societal changes
I don't understand why the government can't do something with these motels and make them into shelters for the homeless .Somewhere for them to rest their heads and to take shelter when hurricane season arrives .
This place was most likely shut down by a health/safety inspection fail meaning everyone had to leave ASAP and many were too poor to have a car so much was left behind. Hope Patches was not left behind!
What a tacky filthy dump! Looks like it was a rooming house maybe? Gross, but happy you found something different to explore James! (best part was the fish in the intro) 🤣🤣
Ya, it was definitely a lower end motel turned into a full time living space for a lot of the guests. I think the rooms that i wasn't able to film were for short term though, since they didn't have kitchenettes. Thanks for the comment!!
i just stumbled on this channel and really liked this explore... I like how you put things back the way you find them,, so respectful. after all the things were of importance to those who were there before...
@@StaticSpaces most videos I have seen just seem to pick something up then throw it back down after showing us." Explore all you want but have respect, would you want someone treating your things that way? " I'm always yelling at the screen. Have you ever come across haunted places?
Surprised the owner didn't take their hats and personal property. I have the same cooler than was in the owner's appt. I had forgotten about it until I saw it. A working vcr is nice for someone who still has the tapes. Liked the vase with the peacock. Nice upholstered furniture left in owner's appt. as well as well as large crockpot left in kitchen. Really enjoyed this explore. Lots to see.
I heard a rumour that the owner died and that's why everything was left....sad situation if it's true. I have a VCR and tapes but I think the VCR needs cleaning because it ate a couple of them! Thanks a lot for your comment!!
Those velvet paintings were mass produced back in the 70's. We had one when I was a kid. They were all in a similar style but different scenes, some even had Elvis, lol. They all had the same frame and rectangles.
The first thing that came to mind when I saw the picture on the wall in the video was the framed velvet images of Elvis that vendors used to sell on the side of the road. Cheesy as hell but popular because it's Elvis and they were affordably priced.
Hey just came across your Channel I love watching abandoned spaces I did enjoy this video and actually there's a couple of places like this in my town that I'm think I'm a just check out but I won't video them but things like this just really intrigued me thanks for making the video I definitely will go and check out more of your content and keep up the good work
I only started doing videos a little over a year ago and it's a lot of work! There is nothing wrong with checking places out and just enjoying yourself and taking a few pics. Glad you found the channel and thanks for the comment!!
Lol I was going to say you probably don’t want to sit on that bed but you beat me to it 🤣 The “I live here and work here” 1 star review is great, but I’ve gotta choose the shower in the hallway as my favorite feature. That would be a nightmare to use. Very cool find as always👍
I was eating lunch when you opened the fridge🤢I hate those singing fish😂I’m always concerned for you to be by yourself at these abandoned places…Stay Safe. TFS…see you at the next one.
I don't know if I'm right, but I have seen older motels, where the owner/or manager lived there, so the rooms behind the office, may of been where the person who ran or took care of it, lived there. I lived in a long term motel, and it had a big front room, small kitchen, bedroom, and bath. It was suitable for two people. That's my thought. Interesting place.
Yes, i think you are probably right about that. Looking back at it, i think that's the case. I am often seeing these places for the first time and figuring things out as i go, hence the indecisiveness sometimes. Thanks for the comment!!
Wow. The packrat in me is foaming at the mouth seeing all that stuff. I drooled over that one bracelet. It might have been either sterling silver or silver plated. I would like to guess the building was maybe built in the 30's, maybe 40's. I loved the staircase and the arches. After watching, I wonder if those apartments/rooms you looked at may have been for employees room and board?
Honestly i don't even remember seeing a bracelet lol Sometimes these explores are so quick i don't really have a chance to take everything in. I would guess it was silver plated at best though. I think the building was likely built in the 50s another commenter also mentioned this. Yes, i think the main apartment was for either the owner or whoever ran the motel and the upstairs units were for long term tenants, maybe some of them were employees. Thanks for the comment!!
It may not have looked like it but it was demolished like two weeks later, so it definitely was. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment!!
I grew up just south of there and that land was all farms 50 years ago. The stuff left behind makes me think that the owners plan to re open some day. Hmm, there's a lot to be said about home made bread, ugh. I'm also thinking that some of the residents may have been associated with the racetrack.
I'm glad someone else is as concerned about the bread as i was! It's crazy how quickly things change in this area, especially now. Yes when I first walked in, i wasn't even 100% sure it was abandoned. Thanks for the comment!!
Feels like The Last of Us, when you were fooling around and finding some notes like the advertisements of Patches, really interesting, greetings from Mx.
I don't think so. If there had been some sort of a police raid, there likely would have been police tape and i also likely would have found out about it when doing my research. Thanks for the comment!!
God bless you! Hi SS, that place was nasty. Wow, for that short time period, that massive web, gross bathrooms etc. it certainly was never cleaned. My thoughts exactly about sitting on that bed. Did you say that was milk in the fridge? The dishes, paintings, knickknacks were probably included with the price. Even the earrings 🤪Loved your intro & outro. You always do a great job no matter what kind of place you’re in, but your intro/outro were the best part of this. Hopefully the bedbugs didn’t bite! A friend of mine told me about people who lived in a city apartment that got infested with bedbugs from a neighboring apt. Not only did they have to move, live in a hotel until they got another place, but it cost them big bucks to replace mattresses, dry clean all their clothes etc. It was a nightmare to say the least. Thanks SS!
Oh, i can only imagine how difficult it would be to get rid of bedbugs, i have heard horror stories. Yes, i think that was milk in the fridge lol Glad you enjoy the intros and outros! Thanks for commenting!!
I kind of got that feeling too, so i was a little nervous at first...didn't expect the place to be demolished two weeks after my visit, that's for sure. Thanks for the comment!!
I used to work in the hotel business and we had to have those Do Not Drink water Signs if there was a Boil Order in affect We had to put those on every room on the bathtub and sink as well.
Oh yes, that's definitely something that the guests would need to know. The notices at this hotel mentioned that the water had elevated sodium levels, so it was still safe to drink as long as you weren't on a low sodium diet. Thanks for the comment!!
They used to be somewhat common a few decades ago. I have found them in a few houses and some motels have them as well. They are great for motels/hotels because then you don't have to eat out all the time. Thanks for the comment!!
Billy Bass has another song too, "Take Me To The River" and that one has lost his ability to turn his head toward you. It looks like he can still turn his head some.
That would have been an motel owner's apartment. No motel has that kind of public space. That was certainly private. It's sad. That lit mouse still blinking.
Ya, it was kind of hard to determine at the time but looking back i think you are right, it was probably all private space in that section. Ya, the mouse certainly was odd to see too. Thanks for the comment!!
Great Vidio....But the only thing...When you go in to each Room you don't know if someone could be in there? Your walking in on them...Just something thing about. We're a respirator bad air...Especially bath room's!
Welcome to the Urbex Inn if you check in you may never leave. I really do hope you washed yourself and your clothes. You dont want to be bringing home bed bugs or bodily fluids. Also thank goodness you did no funny toilet shot in this one either. LMAO 😆😆😆 10 minutes with the box of condoms sounds about right for some😆😆. Another great explore again JH Big Hugs 😊 P.s. this place was was featured in a film too.
Hi James 👋 What another cool place 😳 I wonder why this place is abandoned though 😎 everything is still there too 😁 what is that cow webs or spider webs 🕷🕸 Thank you for sharing this video James 😃
Yes, this one is a real mystery as to why it was closed then demolished shortly after, think we may never know the answer. Even their Facebook page didn't mention any details. Thanks again Fawn!!
Hi James Thanks for an good Informative Video exploring I Remember those Singing fish I Think the reason they didn't Take the kitchen Items & other Things was because they Washed them in the Contaminated water that's Probably why this motel Closed Who knows if they can sort the Water out to make it safe to Drink or not? I think people got Sick either washing or drinking That water bless them I 🙏 that They're OK I don't Know its sad To see this place abandoned As A joke maybe you could find Some new batteries & see if the Other fish works lol.
I don't think the water was contaminated, it just had elevated sodium levels. That's only a problem if you are on a low salt diet, otherwise it's harmless. Unfortunately i didn't have any batteries with me at the time, oh well. Thanks for the comment!!
I know an apartment building that closed down and all the tenants had to leave everything because that place was infested with bedbugs. Hope that isn’t what happened there
You are probably right but I never thought they would cook for the guests, I thought maybe it was a shared kitchen for the guests to use themselves. But again, it probably was just for the owner. Thank you very much for your comment!!
Google maps had a sign near the road saying SOLD, map dated 6-2021 so it fits with the calendars May 2021. And Jeff Hitchcock on Flickr said the motel was in a movie Mouth of Madness, don't know about that. Wonder what the owner is doing now?? Cool video!
Yes, i found out after posting the video about the motel being in the movie "In the Mouth of Madness". That's a pretty crazy development and i am in the process of adding it to the write up. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!
Great explore! Drove past there many times years ago. Each time it looked a little more run down. Not sure which was worse, the bag of milk, or the disturbing non-moldy loaf of bread 😂.
Bread not being ruined was worse .. Many name brand ice creams these says have so many chemicals in them that they don't even 'melt' when left out for days .. Ar leasr rhr milk ruined unmistakably .. No chance of Ingesting that !! TgT
Kind of scary when you consider these products are being marketed to us as food. Haven't run into ice cream that doesn't melt before, but it sure sounds weird!
22:06 actually due to the vinager pickles don't nesesarly need to be refrigerated lol i use to think the same thing. They just taste so much better cold tho nice explore... The pickle lover in me couldn't resist telling ya no troll here lol
Interesting, i had no idea, i always thought once the seal was broken they did need refrigeration. Either way, i will still use the fridge if i buy pickles. Thanks for the comment!!
Brings back memories from around 1982. There was a beer bar there that I got pulled over by a cop sitting in the parking lot. No surprise that it was finally closed down. Police state rule and tourist trap.
It most likely a extended stay. When i lost my plsce i had to move into one. It was kinda ranned down and sketchy. And ppl stayed calling the inspection ppl on the hotel . So somebody probably called the state and shut it down. Abd probably told them they had to take what they can and leave. They state will shut it down if its in very bad state
This is the first video of yours I've watched so in the beginning I was only guessing that you were Canadian until you found the empty Molson cans 😉 I guess once a place is in such a run-down state it would be very costly to get it back into a decent shape even if someone wanted to. Originally that back room behind the counter would have been the office and the iron gate could be locked overnight to keep people out of the owner's appartment. Depending on the office hours there would probably be an employee holding the fort overnight who would be able to knock the owner out of bed in a very major situation.
Oh, that's a very good point about the first back room originally being an office, never thought of that. Ha, ya the Molson Canadian beer is definitely a dead giveaway. Thank you for commenting!!
That place can’t have been closed for very long, unless someone has been squatting there recently and maybe got caught. Lots of questions for sure…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
hi james i love urban exploration i go to cemeteries and take pictures of old headstones and learn about the history of that was once old americana ive beeen to abandoned places and they were so coool were abouts are u from im in sw pa
I've actually Stayed in a Motel,It consisted of a bedroom, Bathroom ( separately ) an area for the coffee maker and it had a jacuzzi tub, The last time I stayed in a Motel was a few Years Ago.
Lol while i doubt living near power lines will kill you, it certainly isn't a desirable place to live. They have been known to cause health problems though. Thanks for the comment!!
Lol It was a bit rundown and some of the rooms that had long term guests were dirty but i have unfortunately stayed at worse motels. Thanks for watching!!
Yes, this was a strange one for sure but i am guessing the owner sold the place for a lot of money and just wasn't interested in dealing with all that stuff. Thanks for the comment!!
Always check the cash drawer..a long long time ago I use to check the concession stands on Saturday morning after the Friday night football game cause sometimes they missed a candy bar or gum once in a while…then came the morning I found several boxes of candy and all the money left in the cash drawer… I ran to the high school and found an adult to tell what I found. I was only like 9 or 10 years old there was no way I was touching that money 😂😂😂…it never happened again but I still keep looking for a couple more years before I lost interest…pretty crazy though 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@StaticSpaces , take it to the police and make a claim on it if no one contacts them or shows up to get it then it should go to you…better you than someone else right…
Thanks for sharing another explore :) I love watching these, BUT the thing that makes me crazy-er (lol) is WASTEAGE. SO many ppl in need. Stuff should be sold CHEAP to those in need rather than going to rot or being included in demolition. Grrr, that part is always upsetting but not a thing to be done about it. I'm having to move again, across Canada, and I guarantee you anything I can't or won't be taking with me will be given away to friends, or local resource center, etc. Things are too costly to let waste, and the landfills don't need good stuff jamming them up any further. Thanks again for another explore. Watching from New Brunswick, Oh Canada :)
Glad to have you along for the ride, i like NB, i was there a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Good luck with the move and thanks for the comment!!
@@StaticSpaces It's easy to sit through an entire tour. Your videos are always improving, with the brief background important giving perspective on the past owners. Highlights are the outtakes...funny
Thanks! I like to think the videos are improving but sometimes i wonder if they really are. I'm currently going through a lot of older locations from the archive, some of the earliest ones are a little rough around the edges. 😆
I know you don’t see this motel as that good but when I worked and lived at a motel a few years back, it wasn’t as nice as this one. The rooms I cleaned didn’t have kitchenettes.

Agreed! It’s a crime how much a truly awful motel hotel can charge to stay there. That office looks good for abandoned
Your saying if you work at a hotel ? They provide you with a free hotel room?
i like to hear that it sounds like fun
I think they just didn't have enough income to keep up with the maintenance of the building. A lot of these small mom and pops motels are suffering the same date these days. It's mostly due to societal changes
i can't believe no one’s been there for the big mouth billy bass yet. great video as always!
Lol Glad you enjoyed it and thank you very much for the comment!!
Billy the Bass was the icing on the cake!! 🐠 Great video!!
I thought so too, just had to include it. Thanks for the comment!!
I don't understand why the government can't do something with these motels and make them into shelters for the homeless .Somewhere for them to rest their heads and to take shelter when hurricane season arrives .
Thank you James, for this explore. It was different than the others. It was still great to see what was left. Greetings from Doris in Australia :)
Yes, not quite an abandoned house but similar in some ways, glad you enjoyed it!!
Thanks for the tour, from Western Colorado
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!
I am taking a shower after I finish watching this and I am going to be even more grateful that my house is OCD clean. Haha
Hahaha, glad i could evoke some emotions!! There is nothing wrong with a clean house either.
This place was most likely shut down by a health/safety inspection fail meaning everyone had to leave ASAP and many were too poor to have a car so much was left behind. Hope Patches was not left behind!
That's entirely possible, it was in very rough shape. I think patches was likely fine and their owner took him/her with them. Thanks for the comment!!
@@StaticSpaces and thanks for the great explore!
No problem, glad you enjoyed it!
You gotta love that ‘Big Box Store Decor’….
Dear God, Son….please don’t touch those beds!!!!
Ya sitting on the bed maybe wasn't the best idea but i didn't pick anything up from there, so that's good. Thanks for the comment!!
@@StaticSpaces,
Lawd….I hope you didn’t get crotch-crickets!
Lol I was thinking more along the lines of bed bugs but crotch crickets would be far worse!

I just drove by where this motel used to be yesterday and wondered what it looked like inside. Thanks for the tour.
Glad i could fulfill that curiosity for you. Thanks for the comment!!
@@StaticSpaces you should check out the green houses and house not to far from that location
I have actually been there already. Is that place still standing? Think i was there back in like December
@@StaticSpaces it was 2 weeks ago
Nice, thanks for the update, i may swing by there again soon!
This is a really cool find thank you for showing it to us.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!

P.s. this place was was featured in a film too.
I definitely showed and put the clothes in the wash after this explore!! Really...Which movie was this one in? Thanks for the comment Kimmy!!
@@StaticSpaces I'd with you on what movie this motel was in.
Apparently it was in "In the Mouth of Madness"
O primeiro dá mais bonito do que parte de cima mais tem muitas coisas lindas mas eu amei ❤️👏 seu vídeo ❤️ parabéns 👏
Man I can’t believe things are STILL in there. If I had a hotel like this my OCD will kick in. Ugh
What do you mean?
Great old tile in the bathrooms
Yes, i really enjoy finding bathrooms like that. Thanks for the comment!!
I knew someone that owned that stupid singing fish thing.
Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Glad those didn't last long.
I have known someone that owned one of them too and i always hated it! Lol Thanks for the comment!!
@@StaticSpaces no problem.
One of my ex's drinking buddies had it. After 2nd time it played I wanted to throw it out. Lmao 🤣
Lol
How dare you talk bad about Big Mouth Billy Bass. Lmao JK.
Lol but it's so trashy and cheesy
Love that singing fish.😂❤
Hahaha right. Thank you very much for the comment!!
Hi James 👋 What another cool place 😳 I wonder why this place is abandoned though 😎 everything is still there too 😁 what is that cow webs or spider webs 🕷🕸 Thank you for sharing this video James 😃
Yes, this one is a real mystery as to why it was closed then demolished shortly after, think we may never know the answer. Even their Facebook page didn't mention any details. Thanks again Fawn!!
You are welcome James 👍😁❤️
Hi James Thanks for an good Informative Video exploring I Remember those Singing fish I Think the reason they didn't Take the kitchen Items & other Things was because they Washed them in the Contaminated water that's Probably why this motel Closed Who knows if they can sort the Water out to make it safe to Drink or not? I think people got Sick either washing or drinking That water bless them I 🙏 that They're OK I don't Know its sad To see this place abandoned As A joke maybe you could find Some new batteries & see if the Other fish works lol.
I don't think the water was contaminated, it just had elevated sodium levels. That's only a problem if you are on a low salt diet, otherwise it's harmless. Unfortunately i didn't have any batteries with me at the time, oh well. Thanks for the comment!!
I know an apartment building that closed down and all the tenants had to leave everything because that place was infested with bedbugs. Hope that isn’t what happened there
I doubt that's what happened here but i suppose it is a possibility. Thanks for the comment!!
great video
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!
@@StaticSpaces yes i did and your welcome
I think that was the living quarters for the owners. Don't look like the kid of place that would cook for customers. Just my opinion. Great video!
You are probably right but I never thought they would cook for the guests, I thought maybe it was a shared kitchen for the guests to use themselves. But again, it probably was just for the owner. Thank you very much for your comment!!
Google maps had a sign near the road saying SOLD, map dated 6-2021 so it fits with the calendars May 2021. And Jeff Hitchcock on Flickr said the motel was in a movie Mouth of Madness, don't know about that. Wonder what the owner is doing now?? Cool video!
Yes, i found out after posting the video about the motel being in the movie "In the Mouth of Madness". That's a pretty crazy development and i am in the process of adding it to the write up. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!
Will be interesting to see what goes there in its place, i am betting on the cemetery taking it over but who knows.
@@StaticSpaces I looked thru some clips from the movie and wasnt able to spot that motel so I'm glad you have some info on it.
Great explore! Drove past there many times years ago. Each time it looked a little more run down. Not sure which was worse, the bag of milk, or the disturbing non-moldy loaf of bread 😂.
Glad you enjoyed it! I think that loaf of bread was the highlight for me, that is so messed up! Thanks for the comment!!

Bread not being ruined was worse .. Many name brand ice creams these says have so many chemicals in them that they don't even 'melt' when left out for days .. Ar leasr rhr milk ruined unmistakably .. No chance of Ingesting that !! TgT
Kind of scary when you consider these products are being marketed to us as food. Haven't run into ice cream that doesn't melt before, but it sure sounds weird!
22:06 actually due to the vinager pickles don't nesesarly need to be refrigerated lol i use to think the same thing. They just taste so much better cold tho nice explore... The pickle lover in me couldn't resist telling ya no troll here lol
Interesting, i had no idea, i always thought once the seal was broken they did need refrigeration. Either way, i will still use the fridge if i buy pickles. Thanks for the comment!!
On second thought after doing a bit of research, the consensus is they do need to be refrigerated
@@StaticSpaces learn something new everyday! :) thats cool
Stove looks very nice
Thanks for the comment!!
Brings back memories from around 1982. There was a beer bar there that I got pulled over by a cop sitting in the parking lot. No surprise that it was finally closed down. Police state rule and tourist trap.
Wow, that was quite a while ago. Was the bar in the motel or was it a separate building? Thanks very much for the comment!!
It most likely a extended stay. When i lost my plsce i had to move into one. It was kinda ranned down and sketchy. And ppl stayed calling the inspection ppl on the hotel . So somebody probably called the state and shut it down. Abd probably told them they had to take what they can and leave. They state will shut it down if its in very bad state
I think you are right, it likely was an extended stay motel. Thank you very much for your comment!!
You scared the $#×% out of me when you came up from behind the counter 😲...certainly didn't expect it LOL
Hahaha, glad you enjoyed the intro! I sometimes try to make them entertaining. Thanks for the comment!!
So funny I had just said you should look out for bed bugs about 5 minutes before you said it. 😂
Hahaha. Thanks for the comment!!
This is the first video of yours I've watched so in the beginning I was only guessing that you were Canadian until you found the empty Molson cans 😉 I guess once a place is in such a run-down state it would be very costly to get it back into a decent shape even if someone wanted to. Originally that back room behind the counter would have been the office and the iron gate could be locked overnight to keep people out of the owner's appartment. Depending on the office hours there would probably be an employee holding the fort overnight who would be able to knock the owner out of bed in a very major situation.
Oh, that's a very good point about the first back room originally being an office, never thought of that. Ha, ya the Molson Canadian beer is definitely a dead giveaway. Thank you for commenting!!
Wow I wanted to go here so bad to explore but did they ever demolish it quickly I believe this is the old woodbine motel
Yes it is and yes demolition came quickly for this one, only two weeks after my visit. Thanks for the comment!!
Where is this located?
Canada. Thanks for watching!!
Finally..been lookin everywhere for a location…
That place can’t have been closed for very long, unless someone has been squatting there recently and maybe got caught. Lots of questions for sure…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I think it was only closed for a few months
I would love to have a shot of open that hotel and make it back into something
Would have taken a lot of work and money but it's a nice building. Thanks for the comment!!
hi james i love urban exploration i go to cemeteries and take pictures of old headstones and learn about the history of that was once old americana ive beeen to abandoned places and they were so coool were abouts are u from im in sw pa
That's great, sounds like you found something you really enjoy! I'm in Canada. Thanks for the comment!!
There goes the past. sooo sad Another Hotel gone.
Ya, was a shame to lose this one too, it had some unique architecture. Thanks for the comment!!
I would love the Caro cabinets
Thanks for the comment!!
I've actually Stayed in a Motel,It consisted of a bedroom, Bathroom ( separately ) an area for the coffee maker and it had a jacuzzi tub, The last time I stayed in a Motel was a few Years Ago.
Thanks for the comment!!
I remember that singing bass on the wall James 😄 My used to have one too 😎
Hahaha, i really don't like those things, they are so annoying. Thanks for the comment!!
You are welcome James 😁 And I didn’t have it very long I gave it my nephew 😎
loving the silent hill esque music!
Thanks, i don't get many comments on the music but i spend a fair bit of time trying to choose it. Thanks for the comment!!
For me the rooms are perfect size. They could have been better as far as condition and maintained.
They definitely weren't small rooms. Thanks for the comment!!
Everyone there probably died because of the power lines!!!😆😆😆
Lol while i doubt living near power lines will kill you, it certainly isn't a desirable place to live. They have been known to cause health problems though. Thanks for the comment!!
That sure is not a Marriott Hotel ! Seems to be really run down for being closed for less then a year.. 😜
It definitely was not the Marriott or a Four Seasons for that matter! Thanks for the comment!!
It looks so bad the Roches didn't want to stay 🤷🏽♀️ 🤣
Lol It was a bit rundown and some of the rooms that had long term guests were dirty but i have unfortunately stayed at worse motels. Thanks for watching!!
It’s always a wonder why people just up and leave everything right down to even food and toiletries. The mind boggles. Interesting to see though.
Yes, this was a strange one for sure but i am guessing the owner sold the place for a lot of money and just wasn't interested in dealing with all that stuff. Thanks for the comment!!
The guy is probably gone to the store and is on his way back! You're in his home. LOL
No, definitely not but it does almost look like that. The building was demolished less than two weeks after my visit. Thanks for watching!!
@@StaticSpaces Wow less than 2 weeks I say that's good timing for you to video....good job!
Yes, i got very lucky with this one! Lol
Rule of thumb. Never open an abandoned fridge 😂
I always open the fridge, I just have to know what's been left behind! 😂 Thank you very much for your comment!!
Is “Flatline” the one with the Indian voice and piano or is that “Voices”? I want to know before I listen so I don’t pick the wrong one by accident.
I have no idea really but i generally don't use music that has lyrics
@@StaticSpaces it’s the one at the beginning with the slow piano…if that helps
What about the random Chrysler/Dodge key on the counter there?
I don't remember seeing the car key. There weren't any cars on the property though, so no idea why it was there. Thanks for the comment!!
Always check the cash drawer..a long long time ago I use to check the concession stands on Saturday morning after the Friday night football game cause sometimes they missed a candy bar or gum once in a while…then came the morning I found several boxes of candy and all the money left in the cash drawer… I ran to the high school and found an adult to tell what I found. I was only like 9 or 10 years old there was no way I was touching that money 😂😂😂…it never happened again but I still keep looking for a couple more years before I lost interest…pretty crazy though 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I don't know what i would do if i found a full cash drawer, probably just leave it as is. Thanks for the comment!!
@@StaticSpaces , take it to the police and make a claim on it if no one contacts them or shows up to get it then it should go to you…better you than someone else right…
Not sure that's the way it works, someone still owns the property
Something ran the owner's away keep that in mind.
Nothing happened there, they just sold the property. Although it was a bit weird that they left everything behind. Thanks for the comment!!
What do they plan on doing with this motel let me know
They demolished it less than 2 weeks after my visit, it's just an empty lot now apparently. Thanks for watching!!
this is the owner/or managers apartment they would on site
That makes sense. Thanks for the comment!!
We're is this located?
It's in Canada. Thanks for watching!!
Ready for new upload from you.
Nice!
Thanks for sharing another explore :) I love watching these, BUT the thing that makes me crazy-er (lol) is WASTEAGE. SO many ppl in need. Stuff should be sold CHEAP to those in need rather than going to rot or being included in demolition. Grrr, that part is always upsetting but not a thing to be done about it. I'm having to move again, across Canada, and I guarantee you anything I can't or won't be taking with me will be given away to friends, or local resource center, etc. Things are too costly to let waste, and the landfills don't need good stuff jamming them up any further. Thanks again for another explore. Watching from New Brunswick, Oh Canada :)
Glad to have you along for the ride, i like NB, i was there a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Good luck with the move and thanks for the comment!!
Hey here's a thought, Reopen it as a Motel !!!! You must be a DEMON rat,You LOVE to see places closed down
Beware! Poison! Do Not Enter! That's probably why it's shut down.
The doors are beautiful
Thanks for the comment!!
Epic 13:42 hurl from laughter, imagine the smell from that best before date. 😆
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks very much for the comment!!
@@StaticSpaces It's easy to sit through an entire tour. Your videos are always improving, with the brief background important giving perspective on the past owners. Highlights are the outtakes...funny
Thanks! I like to think the videos are improving but sometimes i wonder if they really are. I'm currently going through a lot of older locations from the archive, some of the earliest ones are a little rough around the edges. 😆
