I promise you there is nothing more startling than hearing voices and activity inside of an abandoned building. My urban explorations took me to the abandoned former American Motors Corporation headquarters on 14250 Plymouth Road in Detroit, Michigan.

From Detroit Metro myself, and I'm pretty sure the Homeless are up in there all the time. You wouldn't catch me in there without some sort of self-defense item.
Brett Cole it was the scariest exploration yet. I truly was scared!
Same bruh ima be packin if I go in there
Brett Cole Lol self defense item. Sounds like you're in a video game.
Just watched the silver dome video and starting this one, you’re a brave ass dude and you earned another subscriber my man! Keep up the great work
MilkySituation thank you so much for your support friend!
IKR, I wouldnt do a eighth of the shit hes doing. Good shit though!!!
Your channels gonna blow up soon, keep doing your thing bro
+Modgey thanks friend... let’s hope so!
Oh it is now !!!Big Bro AD💪🏾💯 love these vids
Your channel about to blow up because you can actually watch all the way through
Tr H I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. I put a lot of work into them. Thanks for the support!
I worked for a construction contractor when American Morors sold in 1987. (I think...maybe 88). We were tasked in building large interior walls in that building. We were there for well over a year when we got the news it sold. Kind of strange to put up that kind of money when you know it's going to be sold. Nice seeing the inside of the building. Take care, be safe.
That’s interesting 🤔 thanks for the insight
I worked in the building in the late 80s, so seeing your video brought back some memories.The belfry used to have scores of bats that would fly out at night-kinda like the freaks. It took a brave soul to venture in there-thanks, Anton!
That’s crazy
Yes!! A Michigan TH-cam who explores. 😃😎 new subscriber!
Raylee Williams 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I would've peed myself. You're a true hero to show these places. If ever get famous it is going to be amazing to see you go places.
I just started watching you today and I'm a big fan. You earned my hit to the subscribe button.
+Unveiling Spider I’m grateful that you embrace the work I do. Thanks friend.
+Unveiling Spider thank you so much 🙌🏾
WOW! Thank you Anton!! This was where it all started for me. I worked here from 1987 until 1994. It's strange seeing this once beautiful building and once well manicured grounds in such terrible conditions, but it is bittersweet seeing my old facility again. A man purchased it a couple years ago for $500.00, but it had hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes owed. He lost it to tax foreclosure not even one year after purchasing it from the city. I'm sure that it will be demolished soon. So very sad.
It is bittersweet, but its become an eyesore now. I hope its demolished soon.
Watches the Silverdome video that's starts off with an STI in front of him then clicks on this video with an WRX in front of him. WOW
GS HYBR1D I didn’t even notice 😂😉🤔
You to brave I'm sorry when that wall thing was making that noise I wouldn't have even thought about going to see what it was
That Dude I honestly thought about turning around... and just went for it. It freaked me out to be honest.
Hey, Anton, like your channel, love what you're doing. I grew up on Harlem and I love architecture, and old buildings. So it's great to see a brother like yourself exploring some of the history of the Detroit area.
When I travel through what is now called the rust belt, those abandoned factories and plants seem to talk. It's easy to imagine all of the people who use to work at these places, the lives and the stories that happened there.
Keep up the good work!
I used to have an AMC Concord. Thanks for walking us thru what once was.....
+Fleck Smugbrother you’re so welcome! Glad to be of service.
Thanks for taking me back home to Plymouth Rd!
That's crazy bro. You are one heck of an explorer for sure. I have been exploring one time with friends, and there was a homeless guy who was high that threatened to stab us with a coat hanger lol.
+ianfleischman82 😂😂😂 thankfully I’ve never been threatened with a coat hanger
I love your thumbnails they are so chill. No click bait at all and you simply have a dedication to your channel you're great man
I was always taught to be real and honest. I truly love what I do. Hopefully the universe rewards me for it one day 😉
There is a big AMC plant in Kenosha WI. I used to work at an office next to it.
I’ll have to check it out
I loved coming up to this building and seeing the huge tower in the distance
So sad. My mom started working in that building in 1962 and I worked there from 1979 through 1987 when Chrysler bought us. So many memories.
😂
Your channel bout to blow up been subscribed since 3k we all got your back remember us road to 1 million
Olber Lopez I will never forget the people that support 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks friend
just found your videos... new fan from Cleveland Ohio...be safe out there in your travels and exploring
Thank you, i appreciate it
Just came by here last weekend! A lot of stuff was left and or dumped there! It must be a popular spot because I ran into two groups of people, both friendly . The top of the tower is an amazing feeling when you get there. So much great art.
too many people watching my videos, thats why i stopped putting out explorer vids
Love your videos. Keep up the great work--you're having fun and it shows.
phccspartan thanks friend. You’re so awesome!
I came across your account as I was watching a video on the Silverdome. WOW! you got some big cohones lol, I would not last a second after hearing any type of voices. But thanks for exploring these abandoned sites. I have always enjoy the lure and mystic of these once crowded places that now are left to decay! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome friend... thanks for checking out the channel
Those weren't ghosts you heard, they were Gremlins.
😂 I wouldn’t doubt it. The things I’ve seen and heard in these places are incredible.
Wish I knew about this guy long back! I know all these places cause I grew up in Michigan. Fam still has the house since 88. Rochester/auburn hills!!!! Represent!
This guy is the real deal I love it!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Cool channel! I appreciate the honesty in the title and thumbnail. No false advertising.
I’ll never do that... thanks friend
I love these urban exploration videos so much. Found you with the Pontiac stadium vid. So cool, thanks for sharing this with us
+Etika's Pop Tart thanks for checking my channel out friend. I appreciate you
American Motor Headquarters is still around? Learned that the old T Model plant still around too! WOW!
Isn’t that crazy?!
Great video, traveling by motorcycle has a edge to urban exploring. Great buildings in Detroit, the destruction in them just makes you feel sad. We'll be safe and thanks for the look inside history.
Thanks for the feedback my friend
Wish I had time to go explore like you do. That's pretty boss going to these old places and thinking about what used to be and how lively they were, and look at them now.
+jason neeper it’s definitely an interesting hobby of mine. I enjoy it I guess so it’s not really work. I just love seeing what comes out from it. Thanks for the support friend!
Such an amazing place! Awesome job on this video!
Thanks so much!
Your truth about Detroit video from last week earned you a sub. I am watching your exploration videos now, I am sure I will get through all 18 by tomorrow. Great videos man, I live in Troy been wanting to check these places out.
Be careful fam
Walking through that abandoned facility alone is risky, But at the same time it's pretty awesome, See what once was, Great videos.
Thanks friends
You gotta believe that any sizable abandoned place you explore, there's got to be at least ONE person in there with you. Especially Pontiac Silverdome and this place, no way you can have that big of a place that wide open without someone else being there - or knowing that you're there. Pretty brave, super enjoyable content.
+Chet P thanks so much friend. Thankfully up to this point I haven’t ran into anyone yet.
I love how down this dude it is at all times. Says “Why not?” at least 3 times in every video. Def subscribing
😂 thanks fam
I hope these catch some attention soon I love watching them
+I've covered wars, ya know thank you friend. We just have to keep sharing them and hope people like it
I wouldn't gone in there at all my brother but say always a prayer things could be creepy you good but stay safe peace
I worked in the blueprint department (I don't recall what it was really called), operating the blueprint machines. I was hired by Irv Stalker who was a friend of my dad, who worked at Industrial, Experimental, and Manufacturing Company, which made all the experimental parts for the Big 3, and for American Motors. I worked there around 67-68 and was trained by Carl Smoekel, who always had a cigar either between two fingers or in his mouth. He gave the impression of being rather gruff, but he was a very kind man. I first learned how to either roll prints or to fold them properly. The originals were placed in files in my department. Carl trained me on the machines that made the copies which were a variety of sizes. The machines used ammonia as part of the process. I learned how to safely change out the tanks of ammonia. I worked there until I had to enter the U.S. Navy. I had learned it so well that Carl told me that when I return home in four years, I could have my job back. He planned to retire soon after that and said that if I was working there when he retired, he would place me in charge of that department. That did not happen as I moved to Florida when I got out of the Navy. On a side note, I was working there at the time of the Detroit riots. Some of us went up onto the roof to watch buildings burning in the distance. I wish I could find information about Carl and Irv but have had no luck doing so.
Wow, thats a lot of time and history. Thats why I do this so that some of that can still be captured and documented while its still available.
I have walked through here about 5 times on separate occasions, and i dont know why, but i do love coming here, the history this building has is an entire course of history on its own, from Nash, to Nash-Kelvinator, to the inception of AMC in 1954, and its eventual death in 1988. Id love to see this building preserved or made into an AMC museum, but in the location itd never make money. AMC did the best it could with many left over GM, Ford, and mostly Chrysler parts in its hay day, and they built some amazing cars, the history here is a sad tale of the death of automotive giant with visionary concepts, fierce competition, and bringing new ideas to the table. RIP to an underdog, American Motors Corporation.
i love how quiet the bike is. never understood loud bike cammers
They think it makes them look cooler 😂
Anton Man, I was watching just on my phone and I got scared! Totally freaky. When that noise started I was saying I hope the brother is packing Heavy! Funny thing from my perspective was that I have been in that building before, before it was abandoned. When I first started contracting for Chrysler around 1999 or 2000 Chrysler still used the building for some of it's engineering work. Can't believe what the place looks like now. I remember remarking to myself about the wrought iron stairs you walked down about how you don't see that kind of workmanship anymore. Surprised some scavenger didn't make off with them years ago. Thanks for the video. And thanks for your guts in bringing it to us! Stay cool...and safe.
It’s amazing what happened to these buildings
@@AntonDaniels Yeah, it sure is. When I was there last, the building was only partially used, a little run down, but still quite serviceable. Can't say that now unfortunately. I was quite impressed with some of the burners you photographed, as graffiti artists have their calling too. Thanks again for the fantastic video. You really went above and beyond on that one my brother! Peace and stay cool.
You are definitely an up and coming you tuber. Your channel quality is very good for a dude with 2k subs. Keep going!
SteamMachine 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you friend!
I watched the silver dome video, and then this one and I had to sub to this, high quality video and sound and content, I really appreciate that you do this. Very scary! But very intriguing! Keep it up!!
dakota tarver thank you friend. I appreciate you!
Anton, kudos for having the guts to explore these old relics of Detroit. Question my friend, "have you ever found any copper left in one of these places?". I admire your guts.
I think by the time I get there, everything worth anything is gone.
You have a lot of balls to do that
joseph walls in hindsight, it might not be that great of an idea... 🤔
I really enjoy your exploring videos! Your commentary is on point :)
Thank you so much
You are freaking BRAVE!
Connor04ftw or crazy... one or the other 😂
Anton Daniels lol
Two videos in a row that you started filming while behind a Subaru WRX. It's nature's way of telling me i need one
Are you listening? 😂
Good to see you doing this around Detroit. Glad I ran across your channel!
Glad you like it my friend
Hi love your videos Keep up good work Stay safe out there
Just found your channel and I’m loving it, subbed. Keep it up, you’re going to get big!
You think so? Thanks for the feedback friend
I have watched several of your videos now and some of the things you say are exactly what I am thinking when doing urbex..... "I did not come all this way for nothing" is the most common. Anyway .... great stuff - thanks for sharing. Oh, and the if something happened to me no one would know I'm here ..... I use to do that ..... I always let someone know where I am going and a dead line time for a phone call. Stay safe .... even though the risk is usually worth the reward.
That’s good insight and feedback. I do let people know where I am though 😉
Man you got some balls to explore alone. I would definitely try and get someone else in there with you or at least some self defense. You earned my subscription.
+erhminer that’s actually not a bad idea. Thanks for the suggestion and subscribing friend.
These videos are so dope man, never stop exploring 💯
+Seth Andersen if my chick has her way I’ll be done really soon 😂
I Just subscribed, your videos are awesome. I give you mad props for going in places like that. Stay safe man.
I’ll try to stay safe... thanks friend!
This stuff is amazing. I was pissing my pants the whole time. Can’t imagine actually being here
StatsSoul it was pretty crazy
Just found your channel.
Sorry I'm late to the party.
But man... The front of that building is stunning.
Back when they built elegance to last.
Such a shame that it's in this condition.
Glad I discovered this channel.
Glad you did also
Love this guy hes's awsome.
Thank you so much
Me and my buddies been going exploring all the abandoned places in Detroit
Be careful
You should check out the Eloise Psychiatric Hospital on Michigan avenue between Westland and inkster.
We used to explore that building when i was a kid.
I’ve explored it off camera... cool place
Thanks for the videos
Eric blaler you’re welcome friend. Thanks for watching!
I love your explores, your so brave, some of the places you go are quite scary & sketchy. Great content. I've watched a hanfull of your videos, & I'm hooked. Thanks for the great explores. Detroit has always fascinated me. Now I get to see it through you. New sub.
Thanks love ❤️
Just discovered your channel and u deserve way more subscribers. Love your channel
Shine Rrogue thank you for the support... we will get there hopefully
I don't know why this was recommended to me but this is fucking cool as hell
+Blake Williams woohoo 🙌🏾
Love love love it man. Keep it up you got a new sub here!
+Lance2052 Gaming thanks friend, new video dropping this weekend
Cool video , keeping me entertained while we go thru this awful epidemic .
Glad you could find something worth watching on the channel
Yes sir ! I enjoy your videos very much , thank you and stay safe . Peace 💯
Awesome, love videos in this building, I hope its restored one day. Have 5 vehicles powered by AMC, or AMC derived engines. The last independent.
Also these industrial buildings are works of art, perfectly combining practicality, usability, longevity with beauty. Albert Kahn is the architect I think, he did a lot of detroit factories.
Thanks friend
Love the video's, keep it up be safe.
Thanks friend
Yo bro. You need a spotter lol. Def enjoy your videos
Chuck Distance thanks bro! And you're right, I do need a spotter 😂
Hell yeah bro. These videos lit!!!!
A higher powered flashlight would help too, lol
Your videos kick ass
I like how both videos I've watched of you started out with you behind an sti lol
+Piddles McGee 😂😂😂
Coincidence maybe 🤔
Great Job
Thanks friend
Great video, good work
Thanks my friend
This was awesome
bball jesus and you’re awesome for checking me out!
Love this guy!
Finex 1278 I love you more
hey man! i recently found your channel on youtube and i saw you went to the silverdome and i live around the area you film at (waterford by the recently abandoned kmart) and i love the content you produce! keep up the good work man!
+physco1872 wow, that’s awesome... I live around the same area. Welcome to the channel.
You’re videos are awesome
Mickey Peternel you’re awesome also! Thanks for checking me out!
hello luv ur vids keep up the great work 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Oscar Belmontes thank you friend. Thanks for the support
Yeah I would definitely recommend going in a group to these places (escpecially in Detroit haha) but still awesome videos man
Nick Myers thanks friend. I’m kind of a solo traveler... don’t need anyone slowing me down 😂
Great video, man! Tried going in one time but got chased out by people. Got some nice polaroids, though.
😂😂😂
Who chased you?
@@AntonDaniels No idea but it was pretty terrifying
Nice explore!!
Thanks
I'm now a fan and a subscriber
Thanks fam 🙏🏾
You where brave leaving your bike 🏍 in Detroit lol I’m from Windsor across the River 😎👍👍🇨🇦
I enjoyed the video sir but I would like to make a couple of recommendations. Get a large Mag light flashlight, the ones that use D-Cell batteries. Not only will it help you see where you are going but they can also be used for self defense. Have a small backpack in which you carry a first aid kit and some water. Exploring these places can be dangerous, if something were to go wrong it is better to be prepared. I subscribed and wish you luck in your future videos. Stay safe out there.
+David Smith thanks so much. In the newer videos like the one I just posted I have those things. I appreciate you.
Love this channel, really well done. I hate when outsiders go to Detroit and make those obnoxious videos of their entitled selves stomping all over your architectural treasures just because they’re not secured. And then mangle the history because they can’t even plagiarize Wikipedia properly. Detroit is a very unique and interesting city who’s story should be told by people who are actually from there and you are doing an excellent job.
Thanks fam, I appreciate the feedback
You are so brave wtf... nice video and nice channel!
Thanks friend
You should have a TV show. Call it "Abandoned, in Detriot."
I agree, you should suggest it to the TV stations and see what they say 🤔
i love these vids
+vladimir mishchun and I️ appreciate the feedback. Thanks friend
The last video I watched it also started with you behind a Subaru STi lol
BoogieMain17 starting to be a pattern!
Thank you for your vids . now i know what cool places to go to. Have u been to an abandoned hospital in highland park?
I have
Im liked the vids bro frfr keep it up 💯💯
Quzey HD thank you so much friend
Wear a dust mask and get a spotter bro. There could be asbestos
Bradley Hills great idea. Thanks friend
Anton Daniels no problem. nice vids!
Hey man I love the videos u could of just said in the title u saw someone like Jake pa... good video man keep it up bike life yuuurrrrr
Thanks for the love and support
Although im not legal to ride yet... it doesn’t stop me. Love your channel, keep it up.
Dead Purple Records woohoo... be careful friend and stay in touch
Anton Daniels I will, still watching the videos
Definitely going to need to get a brighter flashlight
😂
Here before this channel blows up
+Sam Baum Official Diss Tracks thanks friend!
Anton Daniels just some advice personally from me u think u should really more time and effort into these urban explorations (not that you don’t already) because I think u should make more I love them and a lot of other people do too😍😃
+Sam Baum Official Diss Tracks great advice
Just walked past it the other day. Live a few blocks down.😆
Stay faaaaar away from it, lol
Detroit is a city with such a rich history, it's sad to see the state it is in today
JustCallMeRock it’s actually doing really well and on the come up!
That building should be reused. Turn it into a school, housing, or both.
+Martha Retallick it’s too broken down
Being part of Generation X myself, all these wonderful buildings were closed during my lifetime. I remember watching "Roger and Me" in highschool after GM pulled out of Flint, MI. The Steel Mills then began to close near Gary, Indiana. I remember when being a female bank teller was a distinguished position prior to first ATM's. Now, bank tellers are no different than fast food workers for the most part. Those ladies really dressed to the 9's back in the day and we're usually married to one of the wealthy businessmen in town. So much has changed. It makes me sick that people in this country buy Honda's, Toyota's, and the like while our great country falls apart. And, they are proud of the fact that they own a foreign car. Who cares if it was built in the USA, the profits go overseas. In my family you were banished if you owned a foreign car. To this day I still own nothing but USA made vehicles from the 80's and 90's (not Mexican or Canadian GM). Mayor Daley sold a whole city block to the Chinese in Chicago, with amnesty, right before he left office. And nobody says a word. It is literally a Chinese owned country within our own borders. It's all about obscene profits for the companies and individuals which the world economy now forces them to do so. These buildings are the remnants of what once was, filled with office workers and secretaries, most working healthy 9-to-5 jobs. The only hope is that avenues such as TH-cam and the Internet will, at some point in the future, allow an average Joe to be elected into office.
TrakSpock1 isn’t it crazy how much things change from back then. Such a rich history almost forgotten. Thank you for your valuable words and insight!
TrakSpock1 The anger you have toward foreign car owners should be directed towards the management of the big three, beginning in the 70's they chose profit over quality and longtime brand loyalty, I take good care of my cars but still never got more than 100,000 miles out of one without a major engine or transmission repair/ replacement, my 95 Grand Prix needed a new motor at 80,00 but foolish me still bought a Pontiac G5 and it turned out to have a design flaw ( which GM knew about but didn't recall) that caused the timing chain to slip at around 50,000 which destroyed the engine. After all this and knowing people who were getting 200,000 + miles out of their Japanese cars I gave up and bought one.
TrakSpock1
Appreciate your rage on this topic. Don't forget the American companies that offshore profits and evade taxes!
Boat Axe, the Big Three AND their supporters have turned such a blind eye towards competition that they haven't even realized the Europeans have caught up big time. They laughed if you bought a Euro brand, saying, "It'll just turn out to be a very expensive mess." That was THIRTY years ago. Now, they've closed the gap. First European car I owned was a MINI Cooper. Poured 60,000 miles onto it and it had almost no issues. Currently driving a VW Golf and it has had no issues either. I notice that more and more of the OLDER cars in my city are European. So I went online and asked around: is your 6 or 7-year-old (insert European brand) car giving you expensive repair issues? NOPE say almost everyone who responded. My dad's Chevy Avalanche in just two years, had a door handle fail! It broke right off. I couldn't believe it but when I got home from work, I saw it. All he did was tug on it and it popped out of the hinge section! GM, you still have a long way to go. And my mom's GMC Yukon had all kinds of issues with its rear tail lights and the trunk door locks.
I own an acura the best car ive ever own ive had fords and gms all gave me alot of problems my 2006 acura tsx 182,000 miles no problems at all
