I spent three (3) years in the 70's working for the Phone Company in Wheeling, W.V., which was then in the deep midst of the throes of the quickly-dying coal and steel industries. Lot of people were being forced to abandon their lives and their homes and to migrate (usually west) in search of of some kind of a job and a future. My job at the phone Company was to cleanly-break into abandoned houses and apartments to retrieve the telephones still hanging on the walls or the telephones that were still hard-wired into the baseboards. In those days the Phone Companies owned the telephones and all of the copper to the phones. So I've experienced about 5 of these empty, lonely, abandoned houses per day for three miserable years. Lot of the places were still vibrating with the lives and the smells and the detritus of the shattered last moments of the families who had to migrate elsewhere carrying some the junk of their previous life, but mostly just leaving stuff and pieces of their lives behind. Cool videography in your video. It captures that feeling of unsettled surprise and fresh emptiness. -C
Thanks for your touching story from the 70s. Would have loved to photo document those homes. This home was abandoned for economic reasons as well, however, on the opposite end of the spectrum. People and corporations use land as investment in this town. They drive the price up so high that perfectly good homes are torn down. The butt ugly house currently on that property (built in 2010) has been flipped at least 3 times. It's on the chopping block now as the neighborhood is rezoned for condos. 😥
