I always feel a little sad when I see abandoned places in ruins like this. To think that once this was a lively place, full of people making memories: A family with kids who loved playing in the play place while mom and dad enjoy a few moments to themselves, A little league team having a celebratory McDonald's lunch, a group of teen boys and girls going out on a group date, a group of senior citizens, enjoying a McDonald's breakfast with coffee and conversation, and so on. If the walls of these places could talk, they would have so many stories to tell. Memories that will last long after the physical building crumbles away.
Same… I remember going with my mom at Tuesday Morning (the store) and sadly according to a friend of mine, it closed…
My son's birthday at Aiden st. We got to McDonald's
Good thing the Retro Decade Revival Project is gonna make sure "Abandoned" becomes a thing of the past.
Damn bro.....
Same. Just thinking about how many different people sat on these outdoors colorful chair or in the seats inside the building since it's construction... Now, you hear only silence and know that it will be like that probably forever... Abandoned places that been abandoned for years make me sad and nostalgic and I'm never even been to the place lol
Man looking at that McDonald's was like looking at a blast from the past McDonald's back then was a great experience but now everything is built cheap love your videos and stay safe doing them.
Yeah… I worked at a newly built McDonald’s and water was dripping from the roof and the manager just placed a bucket there…
Hmm
@@Naomi-P it happens
He got killed at McDonald's
@@skyesyd221 It's not supposed to. Shit was better built back in the days....
This is one some would consider to be a generation 3 McDonald's building. (1967-1979) these were when they implemented the 2nd drive thru window, a more modern design for the time, and the iconic roofing that continued till the shoebox design took over.
It was built in 1981. It Closed in 2008
I can remember when they were still adding second windows to them in the early-90s. And then they tried the third windows in the late-90s.
@@peterjszerszen When they built the Mcdonalds in my hometown it had the third window. They bricked it up after about 3 years and put in the normal speakers
@@gearjammergamer8560 Mine too, opened with the third window in 1997 and I don't even think it lasted a year at that one. I found it a bit awkward to use, especially since you already drove past the menu and couldn't reference it (but to be fair the menu was MUCH smaller back then).
@@jamesgarasiun5082I'm surprised. I guessed in the comments that it was 1970's built.
That is one god-tier vintage McDonald's interior, thanks for going through the risks of documenting it! Despite the horrid condition it is in, I'm amazed it still exists after all these years. I feel McDs updates their interiors more often than the other big fast food chains, so this is a great find! I love the wooden seats, vintage wallpaper, and fancy tiles.
Wow, another runned down and abandoned McDonald's huh? I do remember when I was a kid, these types of McDonald's were great restaurants when they were opened and in business! I just want to say, God Bless you so much, Wallie! 🙏 You always do an awesome job filming your videos and you are so talented! ❤😘👍 I enjoyed watching your video! Thank you so much!
That’s a shame that the building is trashed like that
Hey WallieB26, I have a little Funfact for you: I'm from Germany and the McDonalds and Burger King are still the same. They didn't got renovated and don't look ugly. So if you wanna see them, you need to go to Germany but i know its not easy. I love your Videos.
Wherever you go, the bees always follow! But yes, walking into that place was like taking a step back in time!!
Yeah, those bees won't bug him but I understand his concern since he's allergic. I have a hive of those guys in my backyard but they don't bug me or my dog and I don't bug them. We need as many bees/pollinators as we can get. Yellowjackets on the other hand...
I wish we can go back to the days McDonald’s looked like that 🥺
I wish old McDonalds like this were still maintained and functioning. I absolutely would love to eat in one with a dining area like that, those booths are so unique and the trash with the pull handle. I love old stuff like this and it's always a shame to see it messed up, in disarray and made to become "modern" looking.
I remember eating at this location as a kid. Had seen some of your other videos and wondered what the inside of this one looked like. Thanks for going inside. The room next to the restrooms was one that could be reserved for birthdays or anyone could eat in there when not being reserved. There used to be a play area outside where the seats are.
Any idea how old it was or when it closed?
Must be weird to have such fond memories of this place and see it like that now...
What state is this located in
I am honestly surprised this McDonald’s and the shopping center is still standing. It needs to be demolished. It’s been sitting abandoned for over 10 years.
Yeah probably atleast a good 15 years if i could guess by looking at it
@@JackVegetables18 nah, all that equipment screams 20th century, my guess would be at least since 1997
@@Am71919 This McDonald’s closed and moved to a new location in 2008.
@@slackingpacking I would have guessed c.2004 as McD began a large renovation program then and this one didn't get it, but the relocation may have already been planned. I'd guess it was built around 1981 though.
Yes, it should've been marked "Condemned" rather than "For Lease"
I don't think they will find anyone to lease that anytime soon.
Wallie, I'm surprised that the giant bee on the wall didn't scare you (7:58). 🐝 Thanks for that video and stay safe. This one looks like a health hazard to me.
Is that what made the buzzing he heard?
McDonald's is always a health hazard.
Wallie, don't worry about the vandalism, you can always put the blame on Doyle! (9:48) 🤣
LOL!
I, remember eating McDonald's in the 1970's, 1980's, and the 1990's when the McDonald's buildings looked like this, and not the boring shoebox buildings.
The extra room in the back would have been the nonsmoking section. My McDonald's in Emmaus PA had the same setup. It's still there but was renovated into a shoebox now.
Is it the one with the huge playplace addition on the front?
@@justinstandifer604 yes. I believe so. If you're talking about the one on Chestnut St. Near 29. I remember it being a giant patio with flag poles out front before that addition was built.
Man you was in my neck of the woods. Wish I would have known. That McDonald's has been closed over 15 years and the only thing in use is the old Kroger store. It's been used by Hemms glass for storage. Everything moved East of there.
It's now the third time that Wallie got inside of an abandoned McDonald's and this is the best one, very mouldy but I quite like it though 🙂
What a Awesome Find for Another Abandoned McDonald's Video Wallie and Kayla.
I wish all our fast food restaurants were still like this just miss the good old days 😪 😢 😞
Me too!.
I miss the old McDonald's! WallieB26 really enjoyed your abandoned McDonald's video! I like the way they were back in the 70's. I just don't like the way they look today.
I am with you. McDonald's restaurants nowadays look very bland in my opinion.
Great video Wallie; i really appreciate your willingness to explore some gross, nasty abandoned places.
What's sad about McDonald's now is it's all tvs. And no place for kids to play.
And grouchy employees and managers at the drive thrus! It's terrible, it's like they took out all the fun stuff , the stuff we remembered as kids.
No wonder , they're experiencing a lot of back lash from people now. It's as boring as a carwash now.😢
Great explore Wallie! Thank you for going inside to make it more interesting. I appreciate when you can get inside, just keep safe and be careful!
This McDonald's is in really deplorable condition. Safe to say there's no resurrecting this place.
The walls are solid, so a new roof would make it usable again. I've seen worse damage to block or brick buildings. My girlfriend's family in high school had their block house burn while they were at a Christmas party. 90% of the roof was gone, and most of the interior was gutted. I was in the 11th grade at the time. I helped them rebuild it after school, and on the weekends. The first part was to clean out everything that couldn't be reused. then build a new roof. Then the floors were repaired, and new studding. We wired it, insulated it and dry walled it. It was during the summer break from school by the time we finished. It would have been faster to ear it down and start over, but that would have doubled the cost.
the seats in thr party room look like hamburger buns...I remember those back when I was a kid.
8:11 Olivetti was the exclusive supplier of computers for McDonald's back in the 90s.
I feel like that rubber matting on the patio is indicative of them having an outdoor playground, at one point. Like, the kind that was one big self-contained unit, made of big, shiny plastic. Added years after the original building opened. But the interior literally blew me away. Not because of the condition it was in. But because I'm a child of the 80s, and I DEFINITELY remember eating at McDonald's restaurants that looked like this, when I was a kid. I remember the paned windows, the wood, and even the wallpaper with the houses on it! What a true blast from the past, seeing that late 70s/early 80s aesthetic! Literal core memory unlocked! Thank you so much for this one, Wallie!
Thanks wallie I requested this one you been getting a lot of my requests lately. I appreciate it :). Parker mentioned in this video when it closed it was either 2004 or 2006 it relocated down the street to a new location. Everyone who filmed this got inside you can also get inside the Kmart in piqua. This will need to get torn down if it wants to become something else.
The wood on the drivethrough window said 2006 and it had been closed then. I'd estimate it's been gone since the late 90s-early 2000s
Judging by the furniture, the kitchen equipment and the way the building looks in general, I'd say around 97 it closed
This location actually closed in 2008 due to relocation
@@realrtot9138 they must have had the same furniture since the '80s, this was the exact setup of a McDonald's I worked at in 1985 when I was 15, inside and out
I love how detailed you showed the place in the video. It often annoys when youtubers show us only a walk through, without focusing on the details.
Thanks for the video. Got the vibe through the phone!
Wow! I’ve never seen a McDonalds with the beamed ceilings and old style ceiling tiles like that. I recall the interiors of the old Long John Silver’s locations had a similar look (mostly 70s era).
There's only one way to clean up that place and that's with a bulldozer!
I remember going to a Mcdonalds like that when I was a kid, I wish Mcdonalds would preserve some of these, it would be fun to have a "retro" experience at McDonalds. You can tell this building was constructed to a higher standard than the current ones, I like the wood beams and the trim around the windows.
Thanks for the tour😁 your great, don't listen to the negative coments
Theres actually a mc donald's retro from the 50's in Los Angeles the oldest mc donalds
@@Willowreviewss in Downey
That's gotta be the oldest style decor I've ever seen in a McDonald's. 70's to very early 80s, maybe?
I was thinking the same thing. Gotta be late 70s. I'd be surprised if its not.
Built in 1981
Closed in 2008
Looks like the first McDonald's we had here. 1970s to 1980s.
@@crazyguy_1233 Opened in 1981 so probably designed around 1979. 1981 was still very "70s", it wasn't until around 1982-84 that architectural style began to shift.
Great video!!! Brings back a lot of memories of McDonald's when I was younger. Good times!!
Bet the ice cream machine wants to work now
One of your best videos yet. I always enjoy your ue videos when you do them. And yes i do it too, and yes i know what i am doing. I always respect everything. No videos uploaded yet. But, I have doing it for a bit. Keep it up. Hope to see more exploration videos soon.
I always enjoy your videos especially because you don't vandalize them. I just subscribed.
Great video Wallie, Thank You !
I figured it was gonna be the Piqua, Oh McDonalds! I guessed right! Based on the videos of other explorers, this McDonalds is in such poor condition. Just so sad looking. The stools outside almost remind me of the Spider ride at Idlewild Park! Thanks for this 2022
tour of the Piqua, Oh McDonalds!
That's was blast from past!!! That was awesome!
I really love this channel, I've been watching a ton of your videos. Sweet z24 in the intro BTW
I’ve never seen a McDonald’s look like this inside. The decor is wild
Wow talk about taking a step back in time. That is really a humdinger of explore.
Man I love your videos!! I’ve always found interest in exploring abandoned places myself! This McDonald’s is far gone off the chain and it’s sad because this was once a lively place. I miss the old design of McDonald’s the new one is just too boring
Funny...when you were walking around outside, I was thinking "I wonder if the roof leaks?" - Well...looks like it does!
quality exploration video!
That was a lot of fun watching that. Strange back memories of the Old day McDonalds
I love these videos did that's what got me into filming abandoned place I wanted say thank u
Old school and abandoned Micky D's lol thanks for sharing this video Wallie stay safe and awesome.🤘😎👍👍I remember the 80s McDonald's that did the super size on the drinks french fries and samwitch.i remember the style it's 1980s like it can be on the Goldbergs sitcom. Lol
Best video ever, looks like a 1970's mcdonald. Your voice and the way you talk reminds me of Mike who i worked with and we do HVAC.
Amazing video! The restaurant seemed like a fair size.but as you walked behind the counter, it just went on and on and on, quite astonishing how large it was. And amazing the it's still standing! Great job documenting it before it's gone. Wonder why noone moved into the space
I live in this town. Thanks for showing the inside. Now my curiosity has been satisfied lol. I will never go into that
This McDonald’s appears to have closed Before 2008.
I’m asssuming it closed down in 2007. When the new location was complete.
You're close, but it closed in 2008
Do you know why it moved instead of keeping/remodeling this one?
@@realrtot9138 any idea why it moved instead of keeping as is or remodeling this one?
@@isaiahmarker407 maybe because that area was getting abandoned so they didnt want the mc donalds next to a abandoned shopping center
Awesome video!!!
One of the scariest abandoned places
What an incredible find! It's like a time capsule
I have never seen seating like that one with the center round seat with tables radiating out. Thanks for the look inside.
That really surprises me. as a former MCD VP, we would always make sure we "de-arch-ed" all closed locations. This may be a rare case where MCD did not own the building and the landlord did not allow MCD to do that.
Guaranteed this McDonald served McDLTs
interesting McDonalds you dont see any of them anymore that for sure thanks for sharing this one wallie :D
You were in Dayton? My neck of the woods . It would be cool to meet you, maybe next time. Thanks for the videos.
Oh wow I've never seen a MC Donald's like this im starting to like your videos I love watching abandoned places there very interesting to explore and find out what happened to it
Still looks as bad as when me and Parker Explored it, one thing by the old playground they had a time capsule sign by one those posts. Kind of curious that they have in there. Definitely grew up eating in those types of Mcdonalds, the good old days.
Wow 👌 awesome video
Ok,I'm viewing the interior,&it has to be mid to late 80's or earliest! Those chairs&tables& everything!! & The mold,&the open ceilings! Everything is soooo old. Wow! Thank you for sharing this with everyone!👍 BTW: that tile is soooo early 80's!😂
As far back as Google Maps goes, 2008, this McDonalds (and the Kroger) have been abandoned.
What’s the address I can’t find it
@@dastewiegriffin 1935 covington
It'd be nice if you can find a McDonald's like this still around and still in business
A Piqua Ohio native right here 🙋♂️ yep that McDonald's always makes me sad considering I used to go here every day as a kid and now it's entire parking lot is abandoned and it sucks to see 😔
wow so cool old macdona ty for video
That was a really cool vintage McDonald's don't see them like that anymore
Love the style of the doors kind of reminds me of a classic house
That is indeed a party room! I know a McDonalds where that room was "repurposed" as a dining room, but still had the walls and old McWorld friends!
It be great to know when it was built. Perhaps there is a building permit that can be searched from a database available to the public at recorder of deeds or something. Provide some great context. Some of these McDonald’s are 2nd generation and are built right next to an earlier version.
Great job. Nostalgia for sure.
Wow. I'm guessing that's been closed for many years. I do not like the new McDonalds at all. The commercials were good the food was good. The 90s were a great time. Miss it fiercely. Thanks Wallie!
It reminds me of the McDonald’s in Mercer, PA before they shut down. Almost as dilapidated as it is, too! I can only imagine what the inside of it looks like today!
He actually filmed that one.
@@adamsATSfan415 yes, I remember.
if you had a top ten worst abandoned places this one just might make number 1 ...wow is that place a wreck, as always enjoyed much
Talk about a throwback!
I wanna see the inside of that Kroger! Love the ones with the classic "greenhouse" facade!
As Wallie started speaking, I said "That's an old Kroger in the background." Then he tells us it's an old Kroger. 😀 Unmistakable design.
That whole shopping center looks like it is in bad shape
Wallie I was watching this video beside my wife while she was watching tv and I caught her watching the video also and I told her since you went inside that you would say you was there to take pictures and video you wouldn’t take nothing just leave footprints after she heard you say that she said I’ve watched to many of your videos to know what you would say before you said it lol. Thanks for the videos you give us to enjoy watching but yes I did grow up with these kind of McDonald’s I could just see Ronald McDonald sitting on a park bench. You didn’t mention the label scar but it was very vivid this McDonald’s was in bad shape. You and Kayla stay awesome.
Where I live, the McDonalds we have had the red roof until just a couple years ago! I miss the way it used to look before they renovated it. Now, it’s boring and has gone downhill.
With some old places like this sometimes I do wish some of them would be restored I think some people would love retro looking restaurants or stores
That last room wasn't a play place. That was an old McDungeon.
Hi Wallie, next time you're in Cleveland area visit the McD at 2200 Snow Rd. Still looks inside like it did when I was a kid in the 80s.
Wow it is destroyed where is this out? Thanks for touring
When McDonalds was more fun than the cold boring look of the new ones today.
Wow, this is an old mcds. Ive worked at 8 different ones in Canada. Strange set up too. Never see one designed like this on the outside with that patio and no umbrellas. With those register monitors and wall tiles, id guess 1970's.
I had many birthday parties at that mcdonalds growing up in the 70s and 80s. If I remember correctly it had a carousel room for the birthday parties. I spent a great deal of time in the playground there.
That is one rotting, ugly McDonald's since it was closed. I watched another video of it by another guy exploring these vacant facilities, and just like he said, it's in bad enough condition that demolition is the only answer. According to property records, this one was built in 1981. Closed about late 2006 or 2007 when a newer McDonald's was built half a mile away. The interior looks like it's original with minimal to no changes, and older stores prior to 1987 - they had metal outdoor playgrounds modeled after McDonaldland characters and a special room for kids' birthday parties and other events; and then 1987 and later was when they went for the indoor PlayPlace with plastic tubes and ballpits and integrated children's parties in that area as well. So, it would have been actually over 15 years since this one closed.
Despite how badly damaged this McDonald's is, It's still cool to see what the restaurants used to look like.
Julie loves your videos
I feel like I'm choking on asbestos just watching this video.
The one McDonald's we had around here used to have the play place in it but when Burger King built in location down the street McDonald's tore their location down and also built a new one minus the play place
I love the wall tiles.
That McDonald's got tore up
yep is did
In Beckett Ridge there’s an abandoned krogers that I used to go to with my dad. Then they built a new krogers right down the road which was a Krogers Marletplace and I was there 1st day with my dad
You should bring us an update on highland Park business park in Garfield heights, OH so we can follow the progress it made since it's renovation
