POISONED PICHER - Everything That Remains
Просмотров 3902 месяца назад
Once a booming mining town, Picher was long in decline after mining ceased, before being slowly poisoned in a decades-long environmental catastrophe. It was designated as an EPA superfund site in 1983 with the goal of remediating the town’s toxicity, but in the 1990s they deemed the entire town uninhabitable, and began buying the residents out of their land. If Picher had not been dealt enough ...
Sketchy Abandoned Vegas Motels, and Their Uncertain Future
Просмотров 5 тыс.2 месяца назад
Beyond the glitz and glamor of the strip, A half mile east of old downtown is a cluster of abandoned motels essentially frozen in time. They had names like the Star View and the Lucky, one story themed buildings wrapped around parking lots and swimming pools, their neon signs harkening back to a mid century vegas boom. It’s been 80 years since the first motels appeared on East Fremont Street, a...
BATTLE WON, Fight to Save the Luther Hotel Continues
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Almost a year ago, I made a video about the Luther Hotel, a historic 120 year old seaside hotel in the small texas town of palacios that was about to be torn down, an unfortunate but not uncommon outcome for buildings like this. Just when the hotel was on the brink of demolition, and crews had begun cleaning out the interior, a dedicated cohort of preservationists teamed up to imagine a differe...
Emancipation, Education, & Abandoned Buildings - The Mary Allen Seminary
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.6 месяцев назад
On a hill in the north end of Crockett, Texas, are the crumbling remains of a grand, seemingly out of place structure. The four story second empire building towers over the surrounding landscape, and although it’s been abandoned for fifty years now, when it was conceived it was a revolutionary institution for the state of Texas. This is the Mary Allen Seminary, and in 1886 it became the first c...
Goal Park: Houston Artist Reimaging Columbia Tap Trail in EaDo

For over a decade now, Houston artist C.R Betirri has been injecting vibrant life into spaces across the city and the world with his colorful and unique art and murals. In 2016, he saw an opportunity for his passions in arts and sports to convene in his East Downtown neighborhood, while contributing to the area’s rapidly evolving cityscape. He is the visionary behind Goal Park, the reimagining ...
NYC's HIDDEN FAIRYLAND: Forest Hills, Queens
Просмотров 91 тыс.9 месяцев назад
In the bustling streets of Queens, New York is a hidden place unlike anywhere else in the city. This tunnel here is a portal to an architectural fairyland where the bustle of New York is traded for winding tree lined streets, whimsical Tudor castles, and carefully landscaped parks. It’s called Forest Hills, and it was envisioned over a century ago as a suburban escape from the city, designed af...
Ghosts of American Steel [PA] [Carrie Furnace] [Abandoned]
Просмотров 74510 месяцев назад
Looming over the Monongahela River Southeast of Pittsburgh is an awe inspiring relic of a bygone era in the city’s life. It’s been 45 years since the final piece of iron left the Carrie Furnace, and these rusted husks are nearly all that remains of what was once the largest steel mill in the world, and a critical piece of the region’s former industrial might. The full site of the Homestead Stee...
The Man Making Houston Bikeable
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.10 месяцев назад
atotb.org/ Emmanuel Nunez is not your typical Houstonian. In a city where the average commuter drives nearly an hour a day, he almost never gets in his car. He does nearly all of his travel by bike and public transit, giving him a relationship with the city and his close-in neighborhood very different from most commuters. Just over 10 years ago he identified two missing links in Houston’s growi...
The Future of Housing that Wasn't
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Год назад
For the past decade no building has captivated me quite like Habitat 67. Ascending over the Saint Lawrence River opposite Montreal Harbor, this is an apartment complex like no other, an experimental project intended to usher the world into a livable, egalitarian urbanist future at a time when global society seemed to be rethinking everything. Views, light, and nature for the masses, in a bold a...
Abandoned Houston Shipyard to Become Public Park
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.Год назад
Turkey Bend, East Houston. This unassuming warehouse may not catch your eye at first glance, but a few hundred feet behind us might be the coolest pieces of Industrial decay in the city, and one that’s at the core of a massive revamp of Buffalo Bayou through the East End. Serving its life as the Houston Barge Terminal, this site is a truly one of a kind opportunity in Houston. A victim to both ...
Why DALLAS Was Almost a PORT | [TX]
Просмотров 131 тыс.Год назад
Over 200 miles inland, Dallas, Texas is an unlikely port city. Nonetheless, for a hundred years of the city’s history, on and off efforts to make the Trinity River navigable resulted in what is today six abandoned dams and locks intended to be part of a network leading from Dallas to Trinity Bay. Let’s explore them! SOURCES | FURTHER READING 1. www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2023/mar...
Historic, Abandoned Luther Hotel TO BE DEMOLISHED
Просмотров 4,2 тыс.Год назад
Built in 1903, the Luther Hotel in Palacios, Texas is a historic seaside escape fronting the town's shoreline. This wood clad three story building dates back to the establishment of the settlement as a railroad and resort town in the early 1900s, and has been a fixture of the city’s waterscape ever since. In its lifetime, it hosted LBJ, Rita Hayworth, and Shirley Temple. But thanks to decades o...
BLOCKS of East Houston About to be DEMOLISHED

Nowhere is Houston’s urban progress more evident than on St. Emanuel Street in East Downtown. Over the past 20 years, this area has transformed from a gritty, half inhabited industrial neighborhood to one of the most active streets in the city. But thanks to an ambitious and controversial highway widening plan that now seems inevitable, this entire half of the street - including entire blocks o...
ALL THE DRAMA on the Houston-Dallas High Speed Rail Line
Просмотров 24 тыс.Год назад
Since my last video covering Texas Central, a lot has happened with the project, but none of it gives a definite answer as to what the next steps are for the rail line. Texas Central is the private company behind the 240 mile high speed rail line connecting Houston and Dallas, a project first announced 10 years ago that has met both excitement and skepticism. Near the end of a multi-year battle...
The Texas Rust Belt: How Changing Industry Made Port Arthur a Relic Amidst a Statewide Boom
Просмотров 98 тыс.Год назад
Located in the far Southeast corner of Texas along the Louisiana border, Port Arthur is a city built for a boom that busted. Home to the nation's largest refining complex, the city developed on oil money and blue collar jobs. But as the turbulence of the 60s and 70s and the decades long decline in refining jobs took hold, Port Arthur became a shell of the city it once was. SOURCES | FURTHER REA...
Really cool presentation, as always. Thanks for sharing it, Scott! 👍🏼

Beautiful forest hills ❤❤
I went here several times in the 70s and 80s as a kid. I have old pictures of me there. There was a penny arcade and one of the attractions was a piano playing chicken. When you rode the skyline over to the other side there was a huge alligator on exhibit. I sat there forever just staring at it. It was wonderful as a child to go there. I'm sad it's all gone now.
Jamaica Estates is also a nice part of Queens. Used to park there then walk down to the subway on 179th street to get to work when I worked at the Queens Center Mall from 1977 to 1982.
Is there anything humans don't destroy? So sad. And, who clubs seals to death? Evil people.
Great vid
The sulphur company was bought out by Elf Aquitaine who was then bought out by TotalEnegies which is still running today and is a successful petroleum company.. Well I think 🤔? But please correct me if l am wrong 👍
"Henderson Field" was NEVER the name of the airport on Midway. That name was given to the airport on the island of Guadalcanal, in the Solomon Islands. Lofton R. Henderson was a Marnie Corps fighter pilot who flew from Eastern Island (Midway) and was killed in the Japanese attack on the morning of June 4, 1942. With regard to Midway, there were no runways on Sand Island (Midway), the westernmost of the two major islands that comprise Midway Atoll, before the end of World War II. During the Battle of Midway, Marine Corps and Army Air Corps airplanes flew from the runways on Eastern Island (only). Those runways are now disused but can still be clearly seen in aerial photos.
Yes,that's the building.TABunch.😮😅😊😢
I stayed there years ago
I hate it when people reporting on towns mispronounce them.
... Little info the reason it is gutted is because nobody will buy a building that is loaded with asbestos my friend knows the property owner and he is an American
I've seen that building.Maybe you can answer this for me. There's a building in Downtown Houston that has a lighted Blue Cross*(*Not the insurance company) om the side. Do you know what it's called?? Your reply is appreciated.😮😅😊😢
I believe you're talking about 2000 Crawford which had a cross but it was removed a few years back! It was part of St. Joseph Hospital.
I snuck in, its super easy :) i thought the spanish mission church thingy was real when i was inside it this year. I had no idea until now that it was an abandoned theme park lol 😂 thats awesome. 🎉🎉
IF it ever happens!! They've been talking about bullet trains to Dallas for over 40 years and nothing!! I'd rather traditional train service through Houston resume and they make use of heavy rail transit from the far outlying suberbs into the Loop 610 area to transfer to Metro buses. Houston will never sort out it's transit problem!!
Something tells me that with the increasing danger the CCP poses Midway maybe militarized again

Can we pay the Japanese to take the place?
It’s 2nd Ward. Not EaDo.
I have visited unfortunately on google maps and astonished to see the birds then later came to utube to see further 😮
been there recently, they set up cameras everywhere
What an eerie place. Thanks for sharing the history with us. very interesting!
You said dam 20 is a few miles from trinity tx. Yes. Mostly under water but i remember seeing part of the east end.
Port Arthur will never prosper again until there is a major shift in government. The city council is corporate. They ask new business owners for personal favors in the form of money. In return for their vote.
Well, your dream has come true!! Now witness the world class renovation
I am very happy!
Ralph the swimming pig was so cool to see as a kid!
Well made and you don’t ask me to subscribe hence I did …class
This really brought back memories. I was fascinated by WW2 , especially the Pacific theater in my early teens. Read a lot of library books about. Then, in 76 and 79, visited the island on board a destroyer. Lots of the crew went to the bowling alley, evidentially there was a bar. Not for me, both times headed down to a beach with a couple of shipmates and went swimming and laid on the sand. So relaxing and beautiful, windswept. Someone told me they talked to a diver stationed there, and there were warplanes in the ocean off the beach. The water in the harbor was so clear and blue.
My dad owns this since 1992
I saw they're building some stuff there, do you know what the plan is?

Take a dog or cat with you to see how they react
I live in Warsaw, Poland. If I wanted to avoid flying, I could leave by train early tomorrow morning and be in Barcelona before the end of the day.
A shame they had no conscience when harming those innocent seals for greed
💯 % trash
A bullet train, or HSR is the stupidest thing ever, for Texas. Put on your thinking caps. Ha! *It goes from Houston to Dallas - please let me know why it's important to travel between these two cities rapidly... *How many people will be riding on this train between these two cities? Is it a justification of the costs? *Just because we can build something, does not mean that we should...Texas is unique all on it's own. We don't need to copy what other places have to be relevant - because that's all it would be, in reality. This toy train does not help the masses. The one's that are proponents stand to gain money from this project. Do not believe that they are doing it for Texan's benefit.
1:54 ive never heard anyone pronounce archipelago like that before
I barely passed english
@ScottDaileyRUclips all good, gave me a good chuckle
0:36 There are no good things about it :(
very nice video, but you can't do a FHG retrospective without mentioning and showing the amazing the tennis stadium, its past glory (US tennis open host until 79, Sinatra and the Beatles played there) and its current rebirth. for another project try nearby sunnyside gardens. same garden repose in the big city concept but smaller scale, mews, not tudor revival
The former residents didn't look at the bigger Picher
hilarious/grim...
I dont get why everyone thinks Houston is the best place on earth for getting dates as a single young man.
Compare Dallas' to St Louis in yudsydy river traffic while the Trinity flows in one direction it's fixed going down and the supply line is. Nothing today.... illusions and fools stones bc are the dreams carnies have to scam you for river boat money and.it will always sink the concept..
Scott. I always enjoy your videos. I had a good friend who grew up and lived in Miami. Pronounced “ Miamah”” since it’s close to the “Missouah” border. I didn’t know about Picher and it’s a sad story. That part of northeastern Oklahoma can be very beautiful. I’m on the road traveling in a van and am now in the Sawtooths of Idaho. I’m taking videos and someday I’ll need your advice on editing. Cheers! Duke
Very inspiring video
Stole alot of land for this to still not even be a reality yet. Trxas is communist AF
Yes, I am waiting to ride the train to Dallas . This use to be a busy mall back in 1980 when I was in high school when I was living in Spring Branch.
ANOTHER Progressive pipe dream/fantasy. A bottomless, 'feel good', bottomless taxpayer money pit the only benefits a few local OLIGARCHS, supported by the lying local media.
I thought you were going to talk about Fairyland, which was an amusement park in the early 1960s that was on the property where Queens Center Mall is now.
It is late in the day, but the planned route should borrow from Herb's light bulb moment to connect the three major metroplexes. The central point of IAH/DFW/SAT is around College Station and Waco. Instead of a Delta configuration, the route could conform to a three-legged stool.
