Dan, does how far Baltimore has fallen depress you? ... I cannot believe how we've left these history-rich cities to rot. I realize the decay/decline may not be everywhere but it's enough that I keep asking myself, why? Why does this once-great country of ours spend endless amounts of money on war/death/destruction instead of trying to repair our *ACTUAL* country? makes me furious!
Dan, I just finished watching every video on the Film It channel while I was sick this weekend. Love both your channels and hope you are able to keep making these.
People dumping garbage like that should be ashamed. I'd really like to return that garbage to the one who dumped it, right on the doorstep with a note saying Hello, you forgot this.
That solid wood chest at 10:00 is in the Queen Anne style. If sanded down and re-stained it would be good furniture. Too bad it is left to the elements. Interesting vids as always!
That old dumping area near the cemetery reminded me of something. A few weeks ago, while in the city of Bayonne, NJ, I pulled up at an abandoned A&P supermarket, just on the city's western shore. The store was right against the Newark Bay, with shipping docks just a stone's throw away. The area was infested with garbage and stray cats. It's a shame, since I found a little beach area with an amazing view of the sunset... I dubbed it "Plastic Beach"-anyone who gets that reference, you've got excellent taste in music.
What amazes me about these videos is that all these places are just left and forgotten. I mean, haven't these buildings got owners? Value? Even if the buildings are not fit for purpose, surely the land can be sold on? It just baffles me..
DirtRich my personal experience with urbex is that even if a building has an owner, sometimes the owner just doesn't care or doesn't have the money to maintain it. Maybe a parent died and the kid didn't give a shit about the house, or a business fell through and nobody wanted the building. It's cheaper to just let gravity bring the building down than to wreck it.
Holy shit I was just looking at that area behind the Baltimore cemetery on Google Earth a few days ago. Weird. Man you have a lifetime worth of content in Baltimore alone no doubt.
A headlamp is a great light source. Nice that we get some more "film it" videos. I enjoy these spur of the moment type of videos. Not great quality and all that but good enough. Content is still the most important thing. Great video.
Another great examples of the post industrial apocalypse.Baltimore's a mirror reflection of Cleveland and all the other cities and bigger towns in Ohio.Have lots of abandonment in Northern Ohio a treasure trove for explorerers like yourselves.As usual Thanks for the gritty videos.👍🎥
@3:17 I think most of those are still in service... is the area around 2000-2200 Charles St. like a low-key Koreatown? All the numbers look up to that area. If Koreans can't keep a liquor store in business you know your neighborhood is going downhill.
There is no past because it is gone,there is no future because it has not yet happened,if our watches were truly right then the only time would be 'now'.
@@fuzzydunlop7928 I honestly do not know anybody who was affected by that "great depression" lol. Maybe we were just poor in the 1st place. I do remember hearing about it on the radio and news, thinking to myself wtf are they even talking about, what depression? We just went about our normal days, working our normal jobs, renting the same old houses, driving the same old used car.
YEEESSSSS!!!!!...DAN..I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON THAT CALLED THEM TUMBLEWEAVES!!!!!!....LMAO...WE HAVE THE Illinois TUMBLE WEAVES!!!...I ACTUALLY STARTED A FACEBOOK PAGE FOR THEM..BECAUSE WE SEE THEM EVERYWHERE!!..I FOUND 3 AT THE STATE FAIR IN ONE DAY!....we also had one for mullets and tails!!...you would not believe the amount that actually still exist...but you have to go to the north side of Springfield to find them in their natural habitat
Worst part is little stores like that are loved by the community but it's usually the same community that robs them or burns them down causing the store owners to abandon them.
Will travels from town to town....satisfying lonely women who just want a few hours to feel like a real woman again....then hes gone in the morning...leaving only smiles.
Sasha Riley I've never been there, but I hope that there are some nice areas to live in. Some of the old buildings in the videos look beautiful. I always read comments like "Baltimore is a shit hole" and things like that. So I wondered if it is really as bad...
makkeundichmusic There are "shit hole" areas, but there are also really historically rich places, and places that are just plain beautiful because of cultural diversity. There are many really nice areas. Its odd because there are places where it looks like this, but two streets up there is a neighborhood of 27 bedroom mansions and no crime. Its all in what you make of it. There are places in every state that the people just know are "bad" but its really not awful all around. I mean for some reason most people feel the need to only show the bad. This channel obvioulsy is showcasing abandoned places so they are not one of the people trying to make it look bad. There are people that almost seem proud to live in a dangerous place. I guess they get some "street cred" lol I dont know, but I assure you, there is absolutely stunning structures, landscapes and warm welcoming people everywhere. The bad places are just sprinkled in. :) I would imagine if you get curious enough a good googke search could show you a better side!!
10:21 "TumbleWeave..😂 Yeah I'm surprised that nobody tried breaking into that ATM, maybe the entryway was recently opened and not many people know there there is ATM in there.
People forget that the population that utilizes many things no longer uses them and so they decline. In the case of liquor stores blame the large number of grocery stores who now sell liquor. Bars are suffering because their target population under thirty group with disposable income in the US has declined in numbers. People tend to go to clubs rather than a neighborhood bar anymore. It's sad in a way. Factories are same way. Many moved overseas but it takes less with better technology to manufacture an item so no need for all those old factories so left abandoned.
What about liability though? Someone or someone's kid goes in there and gets hurt or killed and there's going to be a lawsuit and up here in Canada it would likely be the city because by-laws establish the state of repair that a property must maintain both physically and visually and if you fall below that then the city gets involved with tickets and such at first and if the problem persists then city staff will clean up a property and the owner gets billed. So the city is where the buck stops on derelict properties so I don't know how stuff like that exists.
man....the way your holding the camera in this one when your going up the stairs is totally creepy, even in the day time if some one was there it would totally scar the crap out of me
You can get mask that look like hospital stuff from paint shops or Home Depot that will keep out smell very well. Maybe they found a better place. Do see too many firehouses so that was cool.
A pack of Newports down hea in Jawga will cost about $6.20 and for a carton will be $60.00 at the local IGA. But at convenience stores they run about $5.30 7.25 for a pack of squares??? get the fuck outta hea.
Great prints, low prices! www.shopdanbell.com
Wow, love the Motel at Night print.
beautiful prints!
+Jesse Hogan thank you! My favorite one!!
+RuthMarie Land thank you!
Love my Ambassador print ~ ty, Dan!
"Tumbleweave", That was a classic Dan.
I lost it at that part
That's a common term for a very urban occurrence.

Man all these abandoned houses and shit, is Baltimore some sort of apocalyptic wasteland?
More or less
How many keys does Will have? He's like a prison guard.
Stefano Diconi Or a school janitor.
Stefano Diconi - one...Its called a lock rake gun LOL
It's called responsibility, you judgmental derelict!
It's all of the keys used to enter these abandoned buildings..... dur!
Stefano D ROFL!
I am glad you found my fancy red weave. Thanks Dan Bell and William

What a great tumble weave. One of many mother nature's beautiful creations.
"Tumbleweave" I am DECEASED
Hannah Skaggs I was screaming

DirtRich It baffles me too!@
"Tumbleweave." I shot my drink out of my nose! 😂😂😂 Ow it hurts...but totally worth it!
My grandmother had that same exact wallpaper in her kitchen. I would always stare at it as a kid eating my cereal.
Will looks so good with his haircut!!! I got a crush!!!!!
He looks a lot like Elijah Wood with short hair.
THEVERYANGRYPERSON oh,of course so just cos 2 guys explore together MUST mean their gay?!?? who cares if they are..its their business NOT yours.
cheeky........seriously, you haven't picked up on that?
Sometimes a good haircut can do wonders on a person's overall looks. Will, you look good :)
Not that there would be an issue with him being gay, but Dan has addressed Wills sexuality on Instagram before and said he is straight
Will looks so good here. With his hair cut and his clothes and sideburns look nicely trimmed. I do miss him on your channel.
You KNOW that things are bad in someplace when even liquor stores are boarded up & abandoned.
That buffet would be worth refinishing provided you could find all of the drawers.
When Will made his 1st appearance in this video I thought he was wearing a bulletproof vest. 😂😂😂
Will looks so much better with a hair cut & shave. Props Will.
Yup- tumbleweave has been a huge problem as well. I remember spotting it as far back as 1990
You're up early. Unless you never went to bed. Good morning from Ohio 👋🏼

I love how the 369 numbers were on the floor and the diamond gate and freemason bricks
Dan Bell for Mayor!
The more out in the open places you visit sometimes give off the vibe of danger compared to being deep into an abandoned dark building.
Wow that ATM machine looks like half the machine's still being used in some of our gas stations here in Tampa, FL lol.
Cool Video Dan. More Decay of Baltimore...Another City ran by...Oh Never mind.. Be Safe and Take Care You and Will.
I can't believe the decay. Just terrible. Thanks for sharing Dan.
dan bell I love waking up to your videos. awesome video keep them up
Baltimore and abandoned, two words we hear together very frequently.
Would you ever do amusement parks? I would love to see your photography on that!
Another great examples of the post industrial apocalypse.Baltimore's a mirror reflection of Cleveland and all the other cities and bigger towns in Ohio.Have lots of abandonment in Northern Ohio a treasure trove for explorerers like yourselves.As usual Thanks for the gritty videos.👍🎥
"tumbleweave" 😂😂😂
Look at that automated teller machine machine.
Really pleasantly surprising how little vandalism there was in the liquor store.Really enjoyed this
"Tumbleweave" that's absolute gold.
Hello Dan Bell, it is Easter week-end here in Australia and I am enjoying your videos..love your videos man!!
Update: In Summer 2018, both the liquor store and the building across from it have been leveled.
Will's haircut looks nice
This is really cool! Thanks guys x
Ah yes, the neverending adventure of Will & his jingly keys. Great video as always Dan 👌
8:55 if this is where i think it is on lower Park Heights, they might have had problems with the property value. lower Park Heights is a crack area
Dan Bell and his love for wall paper makes me laugh 😂
Love these guys could listen to them all day
Red weave, the rarest of the rare.
Apparently Dan did a Ted Talk. It was in my suggested videos this morning. Pretty good one too. o3o
Dan is going to make me late for work.

Awesome Video, Dan.
Thanks!
I'm surprised the ATM looking thing is still there
Ashly Bryan yeah really
Enjoyed the video as always!
Is it weird that I feel like 2007 didn't even exist? Like, I don't even remember anything about it. (I mention this because of the paper he found)
What's to remember about the year before the Great Recession?
There is no past because it is gone,there is no future because it has not yet happened,if our watches were truly right then the only time would be 'now'.

DUSK O. I worked on E Adams....seen them everyday! Like they just get tossed out of car windows. Crazy!
DUSK O. Great minds think alike,gonna have to like that Facebook page
10:19 I shit you not my grandparents had one of those antique dressers. I swear it was the exact same design too
Always bring a headlamp with you, Dan. And Wil should carry a Maglite.
what a waste of a vintage dresser, great video dan bell.
Worst part is little stores like that are loved by the community but it's usually the same community that robs them or burns them down causing the store owners to abandon them.

10:12 "Tumbleweave" lol
Nice video guys..looking good with the hair cut Will..😃
Damn, no prints of Dan in a speedo.
How many abandoned neighborhoods does Baltimore have?
Litafaerie Too many, it's a shame
What a shame they don't seem to have a program to get rid of bulk items
That liquor Store was in the city on Woodland Ave
The term "Tumbleweave" made my day.
I would totally refinish that chest of drawers and sell it. Maybe $50 in materials and sell it for $80? Baltimore must be a scrappers dream.
...serious question: Did you guys ever think of leaving Baltimore to live somewhere else where it's safer and nice?
makkeundichmusic not all of Baltimore is bad
makkeundichmusic - then they couldn't make all these Kick-Ass videos
civicturbo2009 Probably one of the best reasons to stay :-D

What is that black squiggly thing around 0:45?
AYYY MY COMPANY DID THE WOOD IN THE LIQUOR STORE ! GP ALL THE WAY BABY! 😂
Tumble-weave, haha!
that "stuff" in the pile on the ground is debris
$7.25 for a pack of cigarettes!?!?!? No wonder they went out of business. >_
Orion Fhang it cost that much all over the city
Back when I was forced to quit the price down here in FL jumped from around $40 / carton to $60... So yeah. Thank you nanny state. >_
Around 2007/2008 more or less?
6.25 for newports in eastern iowa
They are actually now priced at 8 dollars here in Baltimore
10:21 "TumbleWeave..😂 Yeah I'm surprised that nobody tried breaking into that ATM, maybe the entryway was recently opened and not many people know there there is ATM in there.
Im kind of surprised that the ATM machine in the beginning of the video hasn't been broken into..
Clicked on this video hoping for Will. AND I GOT WILL. 😁
Be carful guys. If I was a crazy bum, that's where I would live. Hey get out of my house! I need drugs and I'm cranky. Be safe.
Thats insensitive as fuck
I lived in Highland Town and Pig Town as a kid in the late 80s. What are those areas like now?
hey dan i would love to see more streetviews of baltimore. :)
TUMBLE WEAVE😂😂😂😂
What a shame. People just don't give a crap do they!? Thanks Dan!!
Cool video!!

That is a pretty sketchy part of town.
Come to Southern California. Wait, very little abandoned buildings😂
I would love to see Dan do a video on Hawthorne Plaza Mall before it gets demolished, if it does.
Why are there so many abandoned places in Baltimore/US in general? Thanks for everyone who will answer. :)
Cecilia Penso Generally it is cheaper to leave them there as is than to tear them down.
What about liability though? Someone or someone's kid goes in there and gets hurt or killed and there's going to be a lawsuit and up here in Canada it would likely be the city because by-laws establish the state of repair that a property must maintain both physically and visually and if you fall below that then the city gets involved with tickets and such at first and if the problem persists then city staff will clean up a property and the owner gets billed.

Our empire is crumbling from inside out.
Wallpaper looks repro. I got excited too!
I'm guessing they were probably renovating but ran out of money so they decided to close up shop instead.
White flight describes this best. Sad but it's the truth. Excellent footage as usual Dan.
Tumble weave lol I love you Dan I swear xD
man....the way your holding the camera in this one when your going up the stairs is totally creepy, even in the day time if some one was there it would totally scar the crap out of me
Seems like it was in the middle of a remodel and people broke in and trashed it?
Crazy to think that this is what everything will look like when we're gone...
hi Dan where shows at night love all your shows love u guys are really good
check out wills new hair lookin sharp! also tumble weave im dead lol lol
