Thanks for what you do.
Love you Dan..even though you were born on a stripper stage! 😂😂😂
Nord got hacked not that long ago and failed to notify it's customers for months. So why the fuck should I use them and why are you promoting them?
This is Dan Bell. I REALLY enjoyed this video! I hope you can post more like this!!! 😄😄
I can't wait for Dan Bell's next series: Dead Everywhere Series
The USA version!
🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
😮
It's gotta be the best pickins ever! 🤣 Get out there and film it!
It's coming on 2021
At around 36:17, there's a Gatrorade bottle on the floor that has the current label on it, which was introduced in 2009. So someone else has been in this building, possibly exploring the place, within the past 11 years.
That's a great spot!
I'm no OSB expert, but it looks like that piece 24:28 in the stairwell was manufactured in Jan 2017?
@@MrCatLady Exactly, I thought the same
Damn we have a gatorade expert over here
@@happybadger3351 I don't even drink Gatorade and I thought the bottle looked pretty recent.
A slogan llike "where kids come first" in a store formerly known as Epstein's is comical.
Both the store and the person did not kill themselves.

I was a bit sketched out when he walked into that old elevator. There's no way of knowing what condition the cables and other mechanisms are in.
Yeah... Plus the gas thing: Standing in front of the room for like a whole 2 minutes... And hanging out and looking down old elevator shafts.... Very smart. This guy does not have brains, that's for sure.
Imagine him babbling on about how "ornate" the ceiling lights are and some poor bum trying to sleep has to listen to him yammering. OMG these cash registers are AMAZING, I can't believe it. Lol ok dude, cool old stuff but chill.
When he saw the construction guys outside the window, I was hoping they weren't a demolition team for the building he was in.
I was hoping that Dan was hanging onto the outside of the elevator and/or standing on solid ground. I recall Dan telling us urban explorers NEVER to go into elevators as we don't know what condition they're in, that it was potentially dangerous.
I think that elevator was on the ground floor.
No mannequins. Bummer. Might want to make an anonymous call about that gas leak.
only ghosts of mannequins.
...that now live in your bedroom & watch you sleep...

@@Gravydog316 why would you say such a thing lol
Good. I was scared of them as a kid
Well we've gone from vaporwave to survival horror.
Yeah seriously! 😂🤣😂🤣
That room of old cash registers was INSANE. I loved it.
Those few seconds, after you say “hello” , take years off my life. Scary.
I hope you anonymously reported the gas leak in this building. That could be so dangerous.
Oh yeah, it could explode and damage the road above or a building, start a fire, lord forbid someone get hurt!
Yeah..someone could easily go in there for shelter, try to light a cigarette
@@carysfaerie "BOOM!," goes the dynamite!
Especially with all the asbestos mixed in...
Yeah if he knew about it and something happened,i wouldn't want to be that guy.
That electrical room was an old telephone exchange. That gas leak is highly dangerous, if it made you feel light headed it had reached a high concentration. If it was ignited the resulting explosion could demolish the building? The local fire department should be informed. While these videos are interesting this highlights how dangerous old buildings can be.
37:06 on the right, Are those step-by-step switches I see?
Especially since squatters or junkies might use the building to smoke crack or shoot up. It only needs one person flicking a lighter and kaboom
@@lestranged free gas makes my soup warm
Don't blame that shit on the building, it got like that from NEGLECT.
There are plenty of perfectly safe buildings that have been around for centuries, so don't judge ALL old buildings because people let some of them rot away like that. It can happen to a new building too if given enough time without maintenance.
The building I'm living in was the old Amherst regional high school. My friend (that lives in the main part of the building, and yes VERY ORIGINAL.) The old high school moved up the street not very far of a walk from us. They moved sometime in the 70's to a bigger building.
I think the noises you kept hearing was the sound of your balls of steel clanking together
Lmao
LMFAOOO
Agreed
22:31 As I was watching I thought either a ghost was popping up or jump jump ! .. lol
This was seriously one of the most anxiety provoking things I’ve ever seen. Was anyone else feeling really uncomfortable on the top floors?
Felt nauseated with anxiety the whole video lol. He’s gonna get murdered one of these days lol. Esp in b more murder capital of the us
the ghosts will protect you
Yes really uncomfortable, but cool to watch
Dude, I smoked a huge bowl ready for some Dead Malls chillness and I freaked the fuck out lmao

Edit: Oh, no nvm, I saw you’re other comments. More likely hysteria. Hope you get better 😊
For being closed since 91, it's actually in better condition than I thought it would be
Man it's in really really good condition! Hasn't been vandalized yet
Those old buildings were built to last!
These old buildings boarded up and abandoned make me sad; I grew up in a time when businesses like these were wonderful, full-service, and affordable to the Everyman.
What killed it? Was sending everything offshore truly necessary? or was that just to allow some to become richer, with thee guise of trickle down? I'm asking as a young person, because my whole life it seems as if things were always better a bit before my birth, when the focus was on family and then working, and not a 24/7 hour economy. Who gained from the 24 / 7 economy? I believe any small gains it provided the common man, it took much more from him as well.
@@Wassenhoven420 WE killed it. We opted for Easier, Faster, Cheaper. We were willing to abandon businesses like this for businesses like Walmart. We claim that malls and department stores couldn't keep up with the current shopper, and there IS some truth there, but it does come down to the consumer choosing to get their shoes from the cheap shoe store just to save five bucks, which meant that this kind of business couldn't survive. It wasn't that these businesses failed to change with the consumer, it was that they could NOT change. You'll have peeps claim that mismanagement, or stale and unpopular goods, maybe the eventual shortage of staff, and non-competitive prices killed them, but these were the symptoms. No, it was US that did it. I grew up on a farm and the Sears catalogs were big deals. Going to malls back when they could do window displays without them getting smashed-in was a real treat for us. Now, click on your soulless tablet and China will mail you your shirt within a week. Maybe not everything about the good old days was better, but look around today and few will see much improvement.
@@bobg1685 well said. Now we must figure out how to fix everything.
When that pigeon flew out I literally jumped off the couch - can't imagine how you felt. Between that and looking down elevator shafts - anxiety!!! It's a shame the building is just being left to rot.
I JUST watched that part and I JUST about pooped myself (33:15 ish)
Thanks cindy & sofia for the heads up. I watch this on headphones, didn't feel like swallowing my heart today.
Crazy to realize that old structures like this, that are sitting for decades uninhabited, uninspected, completely off anyones radar... Yet their uppermost floors in many cases are still to this day, holding up incredible amounts of weight from previous infrastructure. The water tanks here, the series of them, incredibly heavy.... I mean, heavy to a degree that most coudn't fathom. Then the elevator systems, motors, electricals, plumbings, so much... And as far as anyone is aware, it could all be compromised to the degree of it coming down tomorrow... or it'll hold up for another hundred years. Who knows? That's the thing... no one... no ones looking.
It's happened in Baltimore too where abandoned buildings have fallen and killed people. So many of them, walking past them you can see the sky through the window.
@@randomvideosn0where it makes me nervous to walk past the buildings with brick faces being held up by wooden posts. I'm not sure of their official title.
@@iimmannii the old 1920's rowhomes a 3 stories
I probably should have been paying closer attention... why is there no vandalism? How has it been THAT tightly sealed???
It's weird, it looks like there has been vandalism in some spots but most of it is untouched
It's in a part of Baltimore where it would blend in as just another building without looking derelict
xerxes876 well Thankyou 😊
I was expecting some birds with those broken windows, too
There was some vandalism on low(est) level(s) but I really think your average person who goes into such places would also find going higher too creepy and unsafe? This video was horrible for me 😂
The blaring police siren and abandoned building sums Baltimore up perfectly lol. Great video Dan
The only people I know of that have explored this place before you and documented it are the Proper People and Nation Decay, and knowing them I HIGHLY doubt that they left that Gatorade bottle there. So this place might be more popular than we believe despite the lack of vandalism.
Edit: Also this would be a good place to record some ambient sounds for a horror game
It's a shame that these beautiful old buildings are just going to rot. The 1930s was the last era of architecture where buildings included distinctly ornate elements, even if the styling was subtle. Most everything built after was just too utilitarian with little style, or fake architectural elements to evoke earlier styles, but just doesn't work well.
Also... BIRD! 33:16
Ornate detailing is a lost art. These places are all we have left. The carved wooden stair railings, the ornate elevators..you just won't see things like that today. There's just something about the ambience of being in a place where all those elements are present.
Dude, that howling wind, darkness, and ambiance is just way too creepy. Don't know how you did it.
One jumpscare and I would've died.
@@jeffwalters8552 Everytime he said "Hello?" I clenched. 😂
saw other comments talking about him editing in gas leak noises, im pretty sure the wind is an effect it stays constant through the video. at first it freaked me out too
@@lukebrand6382 you really think so? kinda disappointing
@@eduard8857 it's Dan Bell's signature sound . His Vapor wave music to enclosed dead or dying malls is classic Dan . I've noticed everyone is copying his theme now .
As a kid and even now, I was always curious in history and exploring old things. I would like to explore old buildings, run down barns, extremely old abandoned homes and I never understood why. Always found it fascinating. Now I work constructions so I’m literally helping erect Buildings and facilities, I bought my first dream car when I had the chance, 1969 chevelle. I own hundreds of records and play them on this old record player my grandpa handed down to me. I have an old black and white 1950’s tv in my bedroom along with my flatscreen lol. And your videos, they are so soothing to watch. Almost therapeutic. I must be wired differently or something haha much love
What an amazing place! Imagine going there back in its heyday? Useless info: at 20:10 on the side of the cash register. That metal thing which was grey/silver? That's the end of a 1950's Electrolux canister vacuum! I know as I have one and use it regularly, a top notch vacuum indeed.
I love the end "I'm going to actually go back because the gas smell is pretty overpowering" not because it's highly dangerous or anything, we all know Dan has no sense of self-preservation lol
im light headed and there's obviously a gas leak, but the S M E L L is whats gonna make me leave, perfect logic id say.
"...First floor, telephones, gents ready-made suits... shirts, socks, ties, hats, underwear and shoes... going down..."
Uh-huh-huh! Going down. Sorry-- flashbacks to Beavis and Butthead. 😀
Lol! I actually meant to say up but hey that’ll work 😅
leatherandjade arts LOL "I'm Free!"
That theme song hit me as soon as he mentioned elevators.
I was totally thinking Grace Bros.
Dan: It sounds like someone’s running water.
*starts to smell gas*
Me: That’s probably the sound of gas leaking out of somewhere....
Time stamp? It seems like I can’t find that part-
@@girli-1139 44:37
They probably sold the Mannequins to another Department Store. By the 1980s Mechanical Cash Registers were only useful as Scrap.
This is xtra long for a Dead Mall episode, but hey, I'm not complaining!
@ɮօʊռċɛ օʄʄ i mean, I host a podcast that goes for anywhere from 3 to 9 hours, so I'm speaking in relative terms here 😅
@Barry Soetorro final fantasy
@Barry Soetorro 😎👍
There may be a lot of people doing "dead mall" videos but after watching yours I truly can't watch the others. You're great at what you do! Stay safe.
Shame, these buildings could have been preserved, or been adaptive reuse projects. It's a shame that this country would rather build new buildings than preserve and reuse older structures. Thanks for showcasing this wonderful historic building, Dan!
well we usually get rid of the old buildings BECAUSE they're old, the foundation of that store is nearly 60 years old, and since it was built im gonna bet both regulations and the way they make them have changed, not everything old is worth keeping for its function, if its super old and still around. its for the beauty.
souls , understandable, but I would argue that the structure (from what I could tell) is in decent condition for a nearly 60 year old building. It is very common in contemporary architecture to adaptively reuse buildings like this, but yes regulations, cost and probably size dictate this will never be used.
@@Dark_Star98 especially cost, while it may be emotionally worth it to restore the building, it would be cheaper to make a skyscraper out of 100 dollar bills.
Preservation often outweighs the cost of new. Just getting these things up to code would be like lighting a container ship full of money on fire.
New earthquake regulations make this building not viable (yes Bmore gets earthquakes about once a decade). Plus asbestos removal, unsafe fire escapes, et cetera.
This is why I ❤ what you urban explorers do, you are bringing (while documenting) a piece of history that will soon be forgotten to some. As for this store, this place is gorgeous. Even though it has been semi gut out...the foundation, frames, original decor, walls, elevators and escalators can bring forth what it looked like in its heydays. When he went up the 3rd floor and the clock bells were ringing, I could almost feel the 1930's.
Yeah it really makes your imagination run wild doesn't it?
When B&G closed in 1984 it became Epstein's until 1991 and sat vacant before becoming "Youngworld", a children's clothing store in 1994, which the newest ad I could find for it was from August 1996
Also from what I've heard is that B&G had manually operated elevators all the way until their demise in 1984!!
@No Budget Games & Media - That is like going into a daycare where they are watching reruns of Fat Albert .....
Still had elevator ops in the late 80s as Epstein’s
I was born in the 70s and seeing this old registers I just remembered that the cashiers were fast af. They punched in the price on the number keys and then confirmed it by pushing that big black key on the right with the right outer side of their hands. I don't know exactly how it's called. The ball/heel of the hand? And for me as a child it appeared to happen in light speed. These are early early memories because not soon after the electric registers came along and were doing that all by themselves.
Now cashiers are slow AF and flat out lazy.
@@outkast40 Maybe because they are underpaid and treated like subhumans by entitled obnoxious customers?
@@freakishuproar1168 They were underpaid back then as well.
@@freakishuproar1168 scanning doesn't require skill. Underpaid? Laughable
ohhai those “scanners” also work other positions in many stores. they run the store that you rely on. don’t be a bootlicker
For as long as this place has been abandoned, I'm surprised at how little graffiti & vandalism there appears to be.
"The ghosts of retail past are waking up, cuz I keep hearing the weirdest noises in this place... Let's go upstairs." WHAT.
Very interesting. In the 1950s my father worked in downtown Baltimore. At that time all the major clothing stores were downtown. For a new suit or dress my parents would shop there. The stores were quite regal with excellent service. Malls did not yet exist. By the way, please inform the fire department about the gas leak in the basement--it could ignite and demolish the whole building and maybe hurt people.
Frank Platner : its a damn lucky wonder that it didn't go up while Dan was there! ANOTHER way Dan seems to be lucky with 9 lives. Lol
Yay Dan!!! This is precisely what the world needs right now.

It's the ghost that was following him
Amazing to see this building abandoned for almost 30 years. Real talk though, I appreciate the hell outta you for exploring places like this for everyone. That shit is dangerous. Potentially unstable flooring, gas leaks, and you never know who or what could be dwelling in these places. Thank you for your public service and letting everyone see these historical buildings. This one is an absolute beauty.
Ugh. My heart was in my throat when you were in that dang elevator.
I worked a Thalhimers in downtown Richmond Va. in the 80’s and it had a bank of elevators I believe 11 of them for shoppers. And had original wood escalator. And in the men’s department there was a restaurant called the Soup Bar, tucked away on an old mezzanine. And it was men only. That store had 3 restaurants and a bakery. I worked in the salon. There was a time ......... great memories for aure
That would have been such fun.
It really was a great place to work. The store took up a whole block f downtown and I think was 11 or 12 story’s. And they had the bells that would chime different numbers like 2-1-1 would be the manager of shoes. On Saturday in the restaurant on the top floor they would have fashion shows. Unfortunately by the 80’s a lot of the specialty departments where gone. They had men’s, women’s, children. But sports, furs,books, records, stationary, hats men and woman’s. Hair salon where I worked, and pets. Before the malls, there was the downtown department store.
Miller & Rhodes Xmas employee here. 1975. Those were amazing stores.
Same as once-elegant F Street, downtown Washington DC. We never dreamed it would all end!
Art Sub Lessons I actually think M&R was much better looking inside, and loved the clock. And the history of the Santa’s.
That huge tank at the 34min mark is pretty damn unique. I'm going to assume it worked like the water tower at the now former Sears I worked for which closed Feb 2, 2020. That water tower we had in our parking lot provided water for the fire suppression system in the store. Our former Sears building was built in the mid 1950's and was quite large so there were a lot of neat hidden areas, building was only one floor but we did have an "upstairs" which was the HVAC system area and access to the roof which naturally I explored a few times when I discovered an unlocked door.
They guy who serviced it worked for Grinell Fire Protection so I think you're right.
Some buildings from the late 19th century were lit with gas lanterns. I wonder if this building was, right before electric lighting became the norm. It would have been a good idea to have a fire suppression system like that in place.
Is he actually in there alone? If so he's one brave dude.
im pretty sure nobody else was brave enough to follow him ahaha
do ghosts & the ghosts of mannequins count?
It really depends on your definition of brave. Doctors, nurses, firemen... They are brave. RUclipsrs for ad revenue not so much ;)
@@WhatALoadOfTosca ok graham
@@WhatALoadOfTosca Yes, I agree with you. I meant no disrespect for the brave people carrying on.
I would love to see what this all looked like in its best days
Scroll through the comments. Ppl have shared photos.
I like to imagine the most terrifying thing would've been for a cry of 'OH MY GAWWD JACKIE!' to emerge from the shadows.
It completely baffles me how you can have a building like that in the middle of a city untouched for so long. By both people who would save it, and by people who would trash it. Nothing like that in my part of the world. Great video as always.
27:09 I was watching this in my living room and at the exact moment you said that, one of my books fell off my shelf. I almost peed my pants, LOL. Excellent video as usual!
The sound of the wind blowing through the abandoned building really gives it a creepy vibe.
The award for best supporting actor goes to that pigeon.
Hey Dan! 😊 Glad to see your back! I re-watched alot of your older videos during my chemo treatment. I just have to say I love your vids and stay safe!
keep it up, fighter!!!! fuck cancer!!
Whenever you shouted out "Is somebody there?" I died a little inside
One of these days something's going to say, 'hello' back at you. LOL
There was that one in a, I think, abandoned asylum, where in 2 shots you could see there was someone watching him but Dan didn't notice
@@Lint6 do you have a link? I would be super interested in seeing this
@@Lint6 I watched the abandoned children's asylum video several times and read comments about seeing humans' shadows several times before I finally saw the damn things! He was alone, as he often is and was, and he didn't notice, either, until later. Scary to think of him seven or eight floors up in a huge abandoned building. Even if he has cell service, i might rake them hours to find him if anything happened.
I was thinking, "One of these days, someone will answer him---sounding like Bela Lugosi or Boris Karloff!
There's nothing scarier when watching these than when he calls out "Is anyone there?"
this definitely made me feel like you were going to get stabbed for 45 minutes
Me as well
R u implying Baltimore is a shit hole? It is.
Another town Boogies destroyed.....just one of 100's nation wide..
@@gtas321 I never said anything about Baltimore. Abandoned buildings are spooky, Baltimore is fine. I bet the dude that says it's a shit hole lives in a trailer park just outside of the city limits.
Bmore is a shit hole. We had 350 murders last year. Pointless gang shit
Wish we could fix these places for smaller stores or startups to inhabit. Itd be a fun vibe to have an oldschool building full of small businesses. Or a big club for alternative people
Those registers were awesome! Especially the wooden one. This kinda reminds me when I explored a partially abandoned department store from 1925. The basement, first floor and mezzanine were in use as a craft store. The owner caught me looking at the defunct main elevator. ( I love elevators ) he then invited me on a tour of the motor room and all abandoned and restricted areas. He showed me an archive of all the old department store advertisements in bound volumes. The whole thing was awesome maybe more so cause it was guided and my aunt whom I was staying with had stories from when she was little.
That strong smell of gas in the basement, yeah you may have just filmed this place before it blows up. Sounded like one nasty leak
Evening Rain what lol
I was literally walking around this place today looking for a way in. I couldn’t find anything. Glad you did
I can't believe that in such a large city that that place hasn't been broken into and sprayed up in over 20 years.
One day someone will be asking Dan Bell if he's in there.
Dan Bell is the master! I’ve tried watching other abandoned videos, but everyone else just annoys me with their constant talking, shaky video or rushing through just as I’m trying to see something closer. Keep me coming!
When the floor was frozen I legit thought it was cracking I got so scared lmao. Good video! Your videos are keeping me sane during quarantine :)
I find it amazing that so many of the display racks and registers left in here were in such good shape! Such cool finds!
Amazing video. Surprised how good a condition it is in for being abandoned so long. Sad to think of so many buildings out there once bustling with people are sitting empty for decades, with no one giving them a 2nd thought
Would be crazy to see pictures of this place in its prime.... to compare and contrast. Wow! Such a great find.
That might be the last time we ever see that building with that gas smell in the basement, one spark and up it goes!
Thank God Dan was not smoking a cigarette.
@Bill Williams Smoking weed going to the weed shops here in Los Angeles Cali gets to be an expensive habit so I quit.Its to high powered for me and enjoy having a clear mind.A few years ago getting weed from one of these shops almost killed me.They were spraying it with spice or doing something to jack it up because the effect I got was an angel dust effect.Had to be put in a mental facility for a 72 hour hold took a couple months for me to feel sane again.
you should tip the gas company off about that leak---they will get right on it..might save the building
@sidecarnutz it`s is not up to the owner--notify the gas company and they will avert a disaster
there wouldn't be insurance this building has a ton asbestos lead paint and mercury it would be a giant disaster there is a reason there are abandoned buildings like this the environmental clean up on it would be in the millions of dollars
And reporting it would save others near the building, or those who explore it
I would love to have one of those old registers!!! Such an awesome find! Cant believe they are just sitting there rotting away!!
22:25...jfc Dan that sound scared me. Also you telling us that you were drunk while filming this, and then seeing you hanging over elevator shafts...not very reassuring LOL.
When you drunk you aren't scared of anything.
@Frenk Frenk no
Wow. I've missed this series and this did not disappoint. The footage was so good you didn't have to add much editing with this one. So cool to see all of the old signs. I knew you wouldn't find any mannequins because they have a lot of value and don't ever really go out of style.
lol That Pigeon came back to life and scared the shit out of ya, especially in that empty building. A new pair of Hanes would be needed.
No one on YT does this better. The imagery, the cuts, the music, and the voiceover. I look forward to these every time.
It's creepy to think of the life and time gone by all in that building
We will be saying that a lot next year. 😑
@Bill Williams yes and thank them for the fake test people falling for
@Evening Rain you looking at 80 to 100 year old building
I’ve been craving an upload from Dan Bell, mostly because self-quarantine with no college or work is really, really boring
DJ Deadbeat wait til you retire. Lol
No sports....;/
@Romeoslover are you retired, sir?
Yes, btw I am female
@Romeoslover my bad, sorry about that
5:28 Did anybody notice that the elevator looks like it has once been covered (hidden) by dry wall. The metal struts are still there.
It's pretty clear the last occupant abandoned most of the elevators in place, probably only the updated one was in use.
The panic scream from the pigeon made me lol
Church bells are so great to hear in the background.
Thanks Dan, Brager Gutman was the first downtown store to have escalators. I remember shopping there with my Mom back in the 50's when that area was the shopping district.
@Hound19745 You think that's bad, I can remember their gift boxes used to be dark purple with black letters LOL.
Who owns this place and pays taxes on it? The property taxes must be OUTRAGEOUS!!!
The city of Baltimore owns it
I was waiting for the twin girls to be at the end of a room chanting 'come play with us, Danny'.
Jesus Christ this is some found footage stuff. I keep waiting for the jump scare and then: "This is the last footage we have of Dan Bell". And he keeps climbing. OMG this place looks out of a horror movie and I think crazed stalkers are in the background. Let's go up a floor!
the grass plot adjacent to this i believe was the former site of the New Theatre and an umbrella store which was the site of the first umbrellas made in America. both of which were torn down around 2010
Ground floor: perfumery
Stationery and leather goods
Wigs and haberdashery
Kitchenware and food
Going up
First floor: telephones
Gents' ready-made suits
Shirts, socks, ties, hats
Underwear and shoes

Second floor: carpets
Travel goods and beddings
Materials and soft furnishing
Restaurant and teas
Going down
Now I gotta watch it again 😂♥️
That was a lot more tense viewing than I needed, had me going off and checking every little sound in the house. "Is someone there?"
imagine you hear a sound in your house late at night and ask "is someone there?" and just
"......no" from the darkness
It's surprising that they seem to have left the gas running to the building. Thank you for giving us a look at that treasure trove. My heart weeps for those old cash registers left to rot.
Did you report that gas smell? Based off the sound and smell, it seems like some sort of gas leak.
@KnVsMom He adds sound effects to his videos, if it had actually been making a sound like that I doubt he would have been so calm.
@@QuanticChaos1000 He did say he heard something that sounded like running water, then discovered the gas leak in the room as he walked down the hall
@@QuanticChaos1000 do you REALLY think that gas leak was fake? go in there yourself and light up a cigarette then if you're so damn sure
Large quantities of gas traveling through steel pipes makes a hissing noise, so it wasn't necessarily a leak making the noise. If gas was leaking fast enough to hiss that loud, that whole building would smell and the block would have been leveled. My question is why was the gas turned on to the building, or what was a major gas main doing in the basement of a building? Could be why they took so much care to keep the building sealed.
@@LakesideGazer sealed pipes dont make people leave the room from the overpowering smell, nor do they make you lightheaded.
“Shrinkage is everyone’s concern” hahahaha
George Costanza wrote that sign
Hahaha
I will be a buzz kill and for anyone who doesnt know it refers to inventory shrinkage or stealing.
I was in the pool!
When going in one of these buildings may actually be safer for Dan then coming in within 6 feet of anyone....it’s a new day!
Wow. I didn't want this video to end. Also, it will haunt my nightmares forever. Thanks, Dan.
Old school display rack is referred to as a "rounder." That's retail Esperanto.
This was one of the most amazing abandoned buildings I've ever seen! I'm so happy it hasn't been destroyed by vandalism (yet). Thank you so much for sharing, Dan! Wonderful!!! 😁❣👏👏👏
Great find and another great video.
To those who are complaining about CURSING, please put on your adult pants. I watched this whole video last night and I don't even recall when/if any cursing even occurred, so the problem must lie on your end.
I gave you a thumbs up, but Jaysus Christ. Lol!
Obviously the people who are complaining about the cussing don't watch Dan's other videos LOL
Yeah, this is a family channel, Dan! C'mon!
Hi Dan! You probably don’t remember me but i used to talk to you and your homies a couple years ago. So glad you’re still doing this. By the way, our Kmart here in Chico, California finally went out after all these years.
My great grandma lived in Chico before she passed. Nice little part of cali.
Brookita's Adventures CHICO! I went Chico state in the 80s
Romeoslover no way!! It sure has changed a lot since you’ve been here.
Bitchney Nicole Aww I’m sorru to hear that. Chico is definitely a nice town. It’s definitely seen more than its fair share of homeless people, and our Kmart is gone. I remember going to that Kmart when I was in high school
My cousin went to Chico and aunt worked at the college. Also my grandparents lived in Orland so I know the area well! Miss those big jars of olives from shop in Corning!
I have been Re-watching older dead mall content at night that Dan made three and four years ago. Great stuff, but I’m looking forward to a new one!
Every time Dan steps into one of those elevators I can feel my soul leaving my body.
17:35 how the smoke come out is so creepy after the rattleing!
Glad this series is back, just what I needed
What a wonderful end to a quiet weekend. ❤️ speaking of quiet, will there ever be another Quiet Little Stories? I’ve listened to them so many times, and while I could never get tired of them, I’d love to hear some new ones! Stay safe, Dan.
Agreed!!
Love this series! New towne mall in New Philadelphia Ohio is turning into a dead mall too. I been going there since the 90's and I think it has some of 80's 90's vibe. I know the same tile has been down ever since I could remember.
When you asked what the name of that apartment building was, I expected a deep voice from behind the bathroom stall to answer!
