    I love your drone videos. It's so terrible that these amazing STL buildings with such awesome architecture are just abandoned. Keep more coming.

      Couldn't agree more! It’s so sad how they let all of this just crumble. I will have many more videos coming ….. stay tuned! Lots more locations in the works.

    I love this series. However, they do make me sad. I am old enough to remember when these places were alive and well. The churches and schools especially because they remind how many families, communities, and how much energy there was in the city.

      @@jimlwolfe-empty-midwest I know there are many, many such places around STL. I city walk from north side to south side and all points in between. The number of closed/abandoned churches and schools is truly shocking to me no matter how often I encounter them.
      I can see the wealth and investment people made, now just rotting away.
      Have you done anything on the remnants in and around the old Mill Valley area?

      @@jamie49868 Yes, it's sad for sure, I never realized how many places there are until I started doing the videos - I w contacted by someone at STL magazine doing a piece about all the closed schools and I'm sure that I have shot video of 20 or more schools. Not sure about the Old Mill Valley area, tell me more, where specifically is that?

      @@jimlwolfe-empty-midwest Mill Creek Valley ran from Jefferson between Market and Locas St. down to 20th. I think it started out German but developed into THE Black area with people like Scott Joplin, Josephine Baker along with most notable black St Louisans of the early 20th century, and Harris Stowe College.
      There isn't much left but there is the abandoned Black Hospital, an old YWCA, and some other buildings I'm not quite sure what they were, and just north on Sam Shepard is a real cool abandoned art-deco police station with some pretty cool churches.
      Check with your friends at STL mag or the History Museum because I may be incorrect on a few details, but I think you could get a pretty cool episode out of it
      I dig your work. Peace
