    They've started tearing down some of the buildings. Two of them have been removed in the ground cleared. Not sure if any of the other buildings will be torn down. I lived here when I was in diapers back in the 60s. We called it The Level ❤

      Yes I’ve heard that! It’s such a shame but I guess that’s how it goes with these old buildings

    One might almost think these places were professionally curated the way everything is just left untouched? So classic, so gritty, so cool!
    Keep up the great work Keith, I absolutely love it.

    Interesting video; I really enjoyed watching this! I'm always impressed by the amount of history and information you find about such obscure and unknown places. This is someplace I've never heard of and I'm sure I won't visit. Thanks for taking us along! (I love that old gas pump!)

      Thanks for watching Terry! I enjoy learning the history and some of the characters who lived or worked in these places. We will see how many people come on and tell me I got it all wrong :-)

    I stayed 'til the end, Keith, and enjoyed every minute of it. It is so cool to see old places like this and not only look at them but let them talk to you. They have a lot to say ! Stay safe...

      Hey nice to hear from you, George! Thanks for watching. Yes, they definitely speak in a lot of ways don't they?

    Always find it interesting how much stuff is left behind in these abanndoned buildings.

      I know! I think sometimes they are just used as storage.

      @@Keithdotson I love the sharpness and detail as well as the nice shadows. Do you tend to shoot a bit underexposed?

      Yes I like them a little darker because I think it's dramatic, as long as the mid-tones don't muddy up

    Union Level is no longer standing. It was very recently torn down 😢 supposed to be a danger to people.

    Great video, in the last location, the old school, the green walls in the classroom looked like they were drywall, could it have had another life as a building after the school moved, drywall wasn’t really a thing until the 70 or 80s

      Thank you! I agree that there must have been some use of it -- maybe it even continued as some type of school or admin building. I couldn't find any information about that, unfortunately. It's also got a mix of older and more modern stuff stored in it.
