When I was born my family lived in Bellevue.My Grandmas ,Aunt Charlotte ,AuntDodie ,Uncle Gorman and Uncle Gilbert all lived on Balph ave .We lived a few doors up until I was four and a half then moved to Cranberry .Then we settled in Butler when I was in fifth grade and stayed there till I was 19 .I still have a deep love for Bellevue .I spent every summer there with my Dads family .I have a lot of great memories.Thank you for the video .
30 ish years ago my Mom ran the restaurant that was there at the time, ‘The Sly Fox’. It was such a great place, and the hotel wasn’t as bad as it ended up becoming. I spent a lot of my childhood in that restaurant.
Hi Wallie, you sure took a big chance filming this dump! A lot more brave than I would have been! And you still managed to point out a few positive things about it! Thanks and have a great day! 👍☀️
Reminds me of the line by Scatman Crothers in “The Shining” when he tells the little boy Danny that a lot of things went on at that hotel, “and not all of ‘em was good.”
Places like this should be torn down. Our priorities in our country are not in the right direction. We should come first for our people instead of giving hundreds of millions to other countries.
My husband and I passed you going up 66 today to New Bethlehem!! He said to me “ look how nice that cavalier is. It’s in really nice shape.” As we passed you I realized it was you and Kayla!
I live nearby and see it’s now fenced off and there have been dump trucks coming to clean out the rooms!! I’m praying they’re getting ready to tear it down! In years they haven’t touched it and I think your video strongly had something to do with it. They probably were able to see the horrendous conditions and safety hazards. Fingers crossed!
All kinds of suitcases in that one room & some outside I had noticed too. Looks like needs to be torn down. Thank you for sharing Wallie & I'm glad you were being safe as not getting hurt.
I grew up in Avalon, I can’t tell you how many times either it’s caught fire, or police were there for one reason or another. I’m glad to see it’s finally torn down. It was once a nice place back in the day.
Nice video! Good thing you filmed it when you did because I looked up the Avalon Motel on Google Maps and I guess sometime in 2020 they tore it down because nothing there anymore. I wonder if something is going to be built there or if it's just going to be left as empty land?
Appreciate the vid. Looked like someone was sleeping in one of those rooms the way the blanket was shaped. Definitely reminds me of the classic Resident Evil games with all the boards n how abandoned this place is.
Looks worse than the one I did last week. I did one in Peru IL called the tiki inn. Very sad looking. A place that was once a classy place is now a junk pile. Too bad how people ruin good things. Great video. I'll be posting the Peru one maybe this week. I was careful as well. Great video bro.
Oh boy I’ve got stories about some of those rooms. I can assure you that place was NEVER clean, even back in the 90’s. Partied there a lot. And if your connection was hiding from the feds, they were usually hiding at the Avalon.
We had a strip of motels similar to this one in the west end of Toronto running from Parklawn Road to Palace Pier Blvd . Some of them were built as early as the 1940's .They were popular in their heyday . Well, they are all gone now . The real estate is what is valuable . They have all been replaced by tall condos ,some with lake views . My dentist is located at the base of one of these condos ( and a dental asst . once live above in the same building !) They started to get a reputation akin to the Avalon in later years . The last one was demolished around 2010 ( a guess ) .
Motel Hell. You are braver than me. If I heard the word bedbugs I would run in the opposite direction. Can't take the risk. Remember brother if you have doubts about something don't do it. I would understand and others don't they can go there and film their own stuff in this creepy bedbug paradise. And you are braver than me. Honestly tear the damn place down. It looks like some of the places along Tonnelle Avenue in my home town. I rather pay double the price for a cleaner hotel (and because I'm a miles and hotel points junkie) than risk coming back with something.
Hey this is Ed, Murat says go go you no wait. I am 2 blocks from Lincoln and Sheridan right now. And my table is a old Pizza Outlet eat in table . Greg would steal a small amount of the money out the cash register but the one computer was bad. Murat suspected he took a good amount of money.
I left before the restaurant moved to the 600 block of Lincoln. They had a good location close to the football field but plenty of competition with pizza Hut across Sheridan Avenue. It was a eat in/ take out restaurant and went to take out before the name change. Murat opened a Kennedy restaurant.
That basement room was creepy , the bed spread was shaped like someone was under it ! What was the old office with the ATM for if they have that weird little office up front built onto the building ? Looks like the jazz club was an addition also.
Oh, sweet Jesus....😟 Wallie, why did you go there alone? 😒 I cannot count the parties that went on there when I was in high school. (I also know many people that lost their virginity at this place.) I spent a few nights there with my BF in high school. No ID required with cash. No questions asked....$19.99 a night plus tax in 1995 ($24.99 a night if you were paying by card). I remember feeling so "adult" because I was spending the night at a hotel. 🙄 As a 42YO now, I cringe to think of the other disgusting (and probably criminal) things that were probably going on there. That place was so....weird. In 1995, the rooms were still decorated in 1970s greens, golds, and florals. The remote was bolted to the nightstand. I remember that there was no stall for the shower. There was a curtain in the shower area, but the drain was legit in the middle of the bathroom floor. I guess it was easier to spray the blood off the walls. 🤔 P.S. I will give you $50 for that motel sign on the little office.
This place is in extremely bad condition and it needs to be demolished....sad how this place turned to a total nightmare. It reminds me of the motel in Keene near CVS that mostly is resided with drug addicts and I really don’t feel comfortable going near there
That place has always been bad news. Just crazyness for years. Just like the wild wild west. Keep them coming Wallie. Keep looking at places around Western PA and Ohio. Be back that way soon
Ive stayed there on a few occasions i never had a problem when i stayed there. The rooms ive had was pretty much clean. The Edison Hotel was the same way too in downtown with crime drugs prostitution.
Someone broke into my nieces room and stole $800. They didn’t care.This happened at the Avalon motel in Saugus Mass. There are no microwave ovens to heat your food. There are also mice there. The Avalon motel in Saugus Mass is a bad place.
In the early 70's my wife and I were eating dinner at the Kon-tiki lounge there. The bouncer didn't like the fact that my wife and I asked for clean silverware. He started giving us a hard time and invited me outside. We went outside....I left in my car...he left in an ambulance.
I can tell you're kinda freaked out, and I don't blame you. God knows what is there or is going on in some of those rooms. Also the cops could've come by at any time and busted you. Good thing they didn't. This really was an interesting video and thanks for taking the risk to document it.
That is kinda my feeling with exploring inside places. It's the reason I have not gone into any of the several abandoned places I've visited with open doors. I don't have many TH-camrs and basically no explorers within 80 mi of my home in Cheyenne Wy, so the thought of going into a place is scary both for the danger risks and everything else involved to where the most I do is peak my camera inside and call it good. It's kinda a misfortune of not having more explorers in your area.
That place was used in movies. There's another hotel that used to be up the road(the Sewickley Country Inn) that was used in the first Jack Reacher movie.
Glad you stayed safe there! Hope you are current on your tent. shots! I know your into Ouija but I think you also have a "knack" on negative areas as you were indicating in your video. Keep following your gut, stay safe and keep exploring!
Do not rent a room at the Avalon motel in Saugus Massachusetts. Someone broke into my nieces room and stole money. They didn’t care. There are no microwave ovens to heat your food and there are mice there. The Avalon motel is a bad place. Whoever reads this spread the word.
Wow a lot a of things happened there by the news reports. A sleazy type of hotel. No wonder it got closed down. Most definitely explore with more people.
This motel was the location of high demonic activity. When I was a teenage runaway in the late 80's, the street kids all hung together and used to look out for each other. Many of the girls were turning tricks and this is where they did a lot of their business. Many of the girls would live here off and on as their money allowed, and identification to prove they were over the age of 18 was not required. Even into the late 90's, this place was known for meetups to do drug deals. I imagine the energy here feels very negative, as underage prostitution, sexual assault, physical abuse, drug addiction, murder and suicide ran rampant here. Very demonic activities. Although I didn't participate in such activities and didn't go through any trauma here, this is one place I am not sad to see go.
I used to live across the street from this dump and it was bad the office smelled and had two old creepy twins that worked in there who looked like extras from the movie The Hills Has Eyes
Not that I'm proud of it but, I can vouch for the rates and wasn't dirty when I utilized the rooms. There use to be prostitutes and some loose women in the bar. Definitely was a shady place. That back area with the light pole was a paved additional lot and it wasn't overgrown like that. It was torn down and is now an empty lot.
Yes Lightning can catch anything on fire I don’t live in pa but it still interesting to know about anyways the video was great to watch I really enjoy it thx u in also really enjoy fire trucks I think they are very cool in something in that bed scared me it made my heart jump
I couldn't click on this fast enough when I saw it. Being naive, I almost had a buddy and his family stay there about 25 years ago. I had know idea. Great video.
Right between Route 65 Ohio River Boulevard and train tracks. I never stayed there but delivered food there a few times. Was definately budget lodging.
Spooky looking place, too bad it isn't torn down and rebuilt. It looks like there are homes across the street, what a terrible view! There is safety in numbers, be careful!!
Thugs, bugs and drugs were the main attraction of this hell hole.
in the 60's they had a great Tiki Bar. I had a graduation dinner there in 1968.

I remember the sly fox! I remember my sister either worked there or hung out there.
That stretch of road between Bellevue and sewickly is notorious for speed traps. It's route 65.
Especially around where the Old Dixiemont Hospital was..Just Southeast of I-79 on PA65
@@TheBlackbudda08 I do alot of fishing down the viaduct so im over that way quit a few times a year
I grew up over there. A lot of people died on 65 at the bottom of my hill because they were speeding
Great video Wallie,please don't go alone anymore.I was so nervous for you when watching this!
Good job Wallie, thanks for being safe and realizing that there are too many hidden dangers in a place like that.
Didn't you hear me screaming "NO! Don't go in there"? It's like watching a scary movie. :-)
😂
Hi Wallie, you sure took a big chance filming this dump! A lot more brave than I would have been! And you still managed to point out a few positive things about it! Thanks and have a great day! 👍☀️

I loved Scatman Carothers!!
Jamie Rupert Me too !!! 😃👍
Wow... I lived in Avalon for a few years and still pass this place every day, never knew this stuff happened here. Thanks for making this!
It’s gone now
Now that place is totally creepy ! I was yelling don't go in there , don't go in there !! great as always
Places like this should be torn down. Our priorities in our country are not in the right direction. We should come first for our people instead of giving hundreds of millions to other countries.
Agreed. It should be torn down...
Jeez that place looks like a wreck now... Glad you went and showed us as much as possible!
I have been waiting for you to do a video on this place. Great job on getting video but being safe and smart in doing so!
Really good segment Wallie . Looked like you were very nervous, understandably.
Be careful out there. Let me know if you wanna go back I'll go with you . we can all plan a day there but we'll play it safe
Let's do it, brother.
Yes
Hope you can also go with Nate if he’s ever in PA
@@poqou947 I would love too. It would be an honor too meet him
I live close to that, and it's always been a shady place with a bad rep... I'm not surprised it's closed lol
Yep. Same here.
My husband and I passed you going up 66 today to New Bethlehem!! He said to me “ look how nice that cavalier is. It’s in really nice shape.” As we passed you I realized it was you and Kayla!

Trucks and bulldozers as we speak. 👀👀👀
All kinds of suitcases in that one room & some outside I had noticed too. Looks like needs to be torn down. Thank you for sharing Wallie & I'm glad you were being safe as not getting hurt.
Everytime I drive by there I get skeeved out. Even when it was up and running!
Me: Gonna take a break from YT for now.
Wallie: *uploads video*
Me: I don't need no breaks!
Yes it does need to be torn down
Hi was just watching some of your vids remember me I love you wallie been watching you Since you had under 1000 subs have a good night :)
I used to travel by there all the time on the way to Ambridge. Very sad. Thank you for this video.
If you say you don't wanna be there one more time,I'm gonna blow my brains out!!!🤣🤣🤣
Literally...
Hi WallieB✌
I am very sorry for the residents of this street, who have to look every day, this "stinking shit"!
I grew up in Avalon, I can’t tell you how many times either it’s caught fire, or police were there for one reason or another. I’m glad to see it’s finally torn down. It was once a nice place back in the day.

Man, this motel is just flat out cursed.
Awesome video Wallie like you always do. I am very happy you did this safe.
Appreciate the vid. Looked like someone was sleeping in one of those rooms the way the blanket was shaped. Definitely reminds me of the classic Resident Evil games with all the boards n how abandoned this place is.
Bro, thank ya for doing these videos, it gives me something to look forward to.

Fire was stated by “lightning”.
Oh boy I’ve got stories about some of those rooms. I can assure you that place was NEVER clean, even back in the 90’s. Partied there a lot. And if your connection was hiding from the feds, they were usually hiding at the Avalon.
One very unique motel. This place has seen better days. I'm shocked it is still standing.

haaaaaaaaaa.thats a legendary motel. people just called it the avie.
I used to deliver food there all the back in the 90’s when I worked for pizza outlet/vocellis. , the bar there was kinda cool
Hey this is Ed, Murat says go go you no wait. I am 2 blocks from Lincoln and Sheridan right now. And my table is a old Pizza Outlet eat in table . Greg would steal a small amount of the money out the cash register but the one computer was bad. Murat suspected he took a good amount of money.
Worked for that restaurant for 2 years. Was it .60 cents a delivery plus minimum wage. Now the rented restaurants is a deli produce lottery junk shop.
Hey Ed how are you! I remember Murat 😃 I left when Brian got his own store up at the Perry Plaza. Cool that you got one of the tables.
After 13 years, I finally left Bellevue. Turning into a first class slum.
I left before the restaurant moved to the 600 block of Lincoln. They had a good location close to the football field but plenty of competition with pizza Hut across Sheridan Avenue. It was a eat in/ take out restaurant and went to take out before the name change. Murat opened a Kennedy restaurant.
That place had a LOT of Stories!!! (Just like the Sleepy Hollow in Brentwood, near Eat-N-Park Rt 51)
that's a place you crew up, strap up, and mask up.
That basement room was creepy , the bed spread was shaped like someone was under it ! What was the old office with the ATM for if they have that weird little office up front built onto the building ? Looks like the jazz club was an addition also.
I was thinking that about the bedspread. Looked like a body rolled up. And what is with all the suitcases? 😂
Just drove by there this afternoon. The entire property has been demolished. Not sure when exactly but within the past month or so
The Avalon Motel was demolished in December 2019
Oh, sweet Jesus....😟 Wallie, why did you go there alone? 😒

Him: "I don't wanna go down there I don't feel safe"
Me and my younger friends few years back: Look an abandoned house we can enter, let's check it.
Have you ever been to Lincoln Way in
Clairton, PA it’s a whole street of abandoned houses
Gregg Berry I thought they all burned to the ground. Is there something left?
This place is in extremely bad condition and it needs to be demolished....sad how this place turned to a total nightmare. It reminds me of the motel in Keene near CVS that mostly is resided with drug addicts and I really don’t feel comfortable going near there
Wow that sucks
That place has always been bad news. Just crazyness for years. Just like the wild wild west. Keep them coming Wallie. Keep looking at places around Western PA and Ohio. Be back that way soon
Agreed. I've always got shady vibes from it.
I feel bad for that gentleman with glasses....he seems like the kinda guy who you could drink a beer with and just listen to all night.
Dang Wallie you’re a brave one going here, I know I wouldn’t lol.
Wow that hotel has seen better days. It sure has seen all the action from fires to crimes. I wouldn't want to go inside of those rooms either.
I predict this is going to eventually be wrecking balled. That place looks like it is in rough shape and has been closed for years.
I enjoyed this video and boy is that motel moldy!!
"Jazzy's" had live entertainment back in the day. I think they ended that back around 2008.
*Since been demolished*
Glad you stayed safe dude
Thank you for sharing
Surprised this place hasnt been knock down. Usually cities love to tear down high crime area like this immediately after closing
This isn’t a high crime area by any means. This hotel however was terrible for the past 30 or so years maybe even longer.
Ive stayed there on a few occasions i never had a problem when i stayed there. The rooms ive had was pretty much clean. The Edison Hotel was the same way too in downtown with crime drugs prostitution.
It is currently being torn down.Thank God.
Creepy af!
Awesome video loved it🎃
Nice Wally 🎉
Someone broke into my nieces room and stole $800.
They didn’t care.This happened at the Avalon motel in Saugus Mass.
There are no microwave ovens to heat your food.
There are also mice there.
The Avalon motel in Saugus Mass is a bad place.
Is this the hotel used in The Mothman Prophecies film with Richard Gere? If so that's sad to see such an iconic piece of pop culture rot away....
No, that is a different Avalon Motel. But the deck of the restaurant of THIS hotel was used in a few scenes in the movie Lorenzo’s Oil.
In the early 70's my wife and I were eating dinner at the Kon-tiki lounge there. The bouncer didn't like the fact that my wife and I asked for clean silverware. He started giving us a hard time and invited me outside. We went outside....I left in my car...he left in an ambulance.
Today, December 4, 2019, they started demolition of the Avalon Motel. Long overdue.
That place is gone they tore it down
Last year
Hi
Nice video Wallie but be careful. That did not look safe.
I can tell you're kinda freaked out, and I don't blame you. God knows what is there or is going on in some of those rooms. Also the cops could've come by at any time and busted you. Good thing they didn't. This really was an interesting video and thanks for taking the risk to document it.
Thanks
I dont blame you man I wouldnt step one foot into those rooms awesome video bro
That is kinda my feeling with exploring inside places. It's the reason I have not gone into any of the several abandoned places I've visited with open doors.
