I used to live on Route 62 (technically, West State Street, in Salem, right before you hit the bypass and it becomes the SR), and we'd drive past here on our way to Alliance. Used to go to the Carnation Mall all the time growing up. My grandma still lives in Maximo, and my uncle runs the electric motor repair business that my grandpa used to own before he passed away. I left the US in 2002 and haven't been back, so seeing these kind of videos are really bittersweet.
I am glad getting back to normal I like you and your videos of abandoned places such as old gas stations department stores anything that is shut down and in Ruins I like and collect TG&Y Store collectibles I also collect Montgomery Wards and Montgomery Ward's powr Kraft tools and I do like Kmart and is now started collecting Kmart stuff and I did watch the video of you when you were talking about the day of the flood and was sorry to hear about your basement flooding out and I am fascinated by history that's why I enjoying seeing your videos on Old discount stores and abandoned places keep the videos coming your friend Brian Williams
I live in Alliance too, I used this gas station many times, it usually had cheaper gas and was easy pump and pay station. Was very sorry to see it close.
At 2:22 why don't they have those disposable mitts for unleaded gas stations today? Not to sound OCD but I hate having smelly hands from gas vapors after pumping gas.
Huge fan my dude hows it hangin wallie i love exploring abandoned places but unfortionaly i live in the middle of nowere so noth8ng really abandoned here in austin texas but love your places keep up the good work #ABANDONED
I am in Austin too, there is an abandoned super K in corsicana Texas, but not near it to film it. There use to be a K-mart down by the frys electronics, but that was turned into a bunch of other stores. There's an abandoned Walmart super center near lake Travis, and and abandoned sear grand which is located on parmer lane.
Hey Wallieb26 just wanted to give you a heads up before it’s 2 late! The old Rave cinema in McCandless by the old trader horn/giant Eagle is being gutted I was able to get in by the cool guy doing the work so if you want to do a video on it I would get there soon before it’s all gone! The snack bar is intact and the marquees still up as the screens are too but the seats are gone! Just wanted to let you know.
In Canada most gas stations don't require you to prepay. I would say that it is because of our lower crime rates and outside of the 10 largest metropolitan areas long time locals often know each other.
weird looking canopy! Never seen anything like it! Awesome video wallie you are the best youtuber ever and I wish you great luck on everything you do. I've been watching your channel for months now and I have not missed a single video and I tried to watch every video in your abandoned series and there all very good videos! I smash the like button on every video I find on your channel! You are the best wallie! -Soul
Another excellent video, Wallie. I liked that canopy setup. It was different. Too bad it is so run down though. Looks like a good space for a gas station with businesses nearby like the Kohls. Too many empty buildings in the USA today but glad we have you and Nate to keep the memories alive! Keep up the excellent work, Wallie!
A remnant of original self serve gas,oil & cigarettes only @ register where you pump then pay station.Has been awhile since I've seen that with fewer drive aways back then.With a vending machines area where restrooms are from mid 70s.⛽🚬Walked away🚶 years ago because you can't make money @ this type station.Essential to have a convenience store that's where the money is in that business.If the owner had any brains would buy the empty Dennys next door and then tear down both places thus clearing this property on this busy road for maybe a big new Sheetz or a Speedway🏪⛽both popular high traffic moneymaker type businesses for that kind of location.Thanks for the 70s gas station blast into the past Wallie👌interesting find like the old Clark oil and Certified,Kwik fill stations back then too.⛽
1970s style gas station for sure! My "wonderful wife" lol said she got gas there once , it was probably back when she was sneaking around going off with bummy guys she was meeting to do online.
Pumping gas before you pay is normal here in Ontario, Canada. I hate pumping gas in the US when I don't know exactly how much my car is going to take. I like to try to maximize my distance per tank, kind of like a game and this ruins it. lol
With EPA regs and stuff you cant just turn key these places back on line. Everything ages out and must be reinspected and replaced = cheaper to just build your own from scratch now
Also Wallie if you haven't you should check out Fred's channel "Xplor Fever". He's a great guy who deserves way more views on his videos. I found his channel from Nate when he gave him a shout out in one of his morning videos many months ago. You should give him a shout out too, if you feel inclined to do so. I think RUclips may be throttling Fred's channel because he doesn't get the views he should be getting IMO. It's a shame, because he puts out some nice videos that more people should be seeing.
Can't believe another gas chain has not stepped in to buy and set up their own business. It seems like a busy highway and most people need gas. Nice little station and as others say next to what should be YOUR CAR LOT!!!! (or a museum of dead retail) In New Jersey it's still against the law to pump gas. So when I"m in every other state I ask my buddies to pump gas just to get the feeling of what's it like. Yeah I need a more exciting life. Im the one who screamed and jumped up and down when my renewed US Passport came.
Speedway still lets you pump your gas before paying. Even Marathon is changing that policy and letting you pump your gas before paying... as long as you push the 'pay inside' button at the pump first. (At least, that's how it is in Wooster.) EDIT: Speedway just changed the policy - now you have to pay before you pump. They just lost my business...
There was a gas station in Tewksbury Ma Named USA. I don't think it's a chain, It was a smaller station, and there were hardly An customers. There was a Pepsi Machine There. I remember when my father and I were Going to lunch, he'd stop at the USA station for Gas. It's really too bad that it had to close. The building is now longer there, it's a tire Shop now.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME WEN U CAN PUMP UR ⛽..GAS FIRST!! NOW IT'S ALL PRE PAY!!! I HATE THAT!!! I AGREE!! WITH U WALLIE!!! BUT I KNO THERE SOME GAS STATIONS HERE IN ILLINOIS WER U CAN PUMP 1ST...THEN PAY!!
Great video Wallie. You should have drove up to 1 of the gas pumps and acting like you were going to pump gas. Like you do at the abandoned fast food restaurants when you pull up to the order box.
Was up here the other day still looks the same after all these years
Enjoyed 👍😃✌️
We use to go all the time. They were very convenient and when we pulled up to pay we would buy snacks
I love those canopies.
Interesting place
Cool :) I like the brick colums :)
This was a great gas station. Went to this gas station growing up in alliance and they have abandoned it since i been in pittsburgh.
Pretty cool

I left Alliance in 1983 and I dont think anything there like big lots or kolhs or that station existed then
Damn, that is so old school retro! Dont see those type gas stations anymore! Cool!
I remembered watching one of your videos recently from Wally's Budget Lot next door. Neat gas station!!!
weird looking canopy! Never seen anything like it! Awesome video wallie you are the best youtuber ever and I wish you great luck on everything you do.

SoulGamer, Thanks For Your Report!
F'N 24TH!!! GODDAMN IT!!! ..😎..COOL VIDEO WALLIE!! LATER 🐍..SNAKE!!
Nothing in Alliance anymore
Another excellent video, Wallie. I liked that canopy setup. It was different. Too bad it is so run down though. Looks like a good space for a gas station with businesses nearby like the Kohls. Too many empty buildings in the USA today but glad we have you and Nate to keep the memories alive! Keep up the excellent work, Wallie!
Love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
In that same plaza where the Kohls is now housed a former Ames back in the 90s.
Was it a Zayres or Hills before it was the Ames? Or was it always Ames! And is it same building or was it torn down?
Hi
I just looked at that gas station on Google Earth. That's next to your Wallys budget car lot haha. Good video!! Safe travels!
Mike, Awsome Comment!
Pump before you pay. That's why they went under. Damn there goes another one.

This is in Alliance Ohio
damn no gas and there is no way anyone can get in the bathrooms to take a whiz lol
Wow
1970s style gas station for sure! My "wonderful wife" lol said she got gas there once , it was probably back when she was sneaking around going off with bummy guys she was meeting to do online.
Matthew Hybel, It was!
Yeah. Here too.
She coulda at least let you watch
Did you fall face first into a tackle box?
That was pretty cool, Wallie. Neat architecture! 👍
Hey I recoginze this place! Fred Finder did a video on this place on his Xplor Fever RUclips channel! Nice to see your take on the place Wallie!
Pumping gas before you pay is normal here in Ontario, Canada. I hate pumping gas in the US when I don't know exactly how much my car is going to take. I like to try to maximize my distance per tank, kind of like a game and this ruins it. lol
There is a USA Gasoline station in Hubbard, Ohio too. Its been empty for a few years.
I found Abandoned rite aid New Martinsville WV
How funny right next door to your car lot lol
what's the song that plays at the end?
Let's see. I got my license in 2005 and I don't think I've EVER been to a station that was pump then pay.
Any US Gas Stations still open?(Always like to ask)
Loved this video surprised no one has bought this property has its right across from a busy store named Kohls very shocked
That's in really bad shape. I wonder why nobody bought it after 10 years. Great video 😀.
With EPA regs and stuff you cant just turn key these places back on line. Everything ages out and must be reinspected and replaced = cheaper to just build your own from scratch now
Brian, This Is Nice!
It sounds like this gas station is going to be a memory it looks like it's going down hill
Oh Brandon! Gas Station Is Like Cool!
I used to go to this gas station as a kid, my dad would get a paper and me a pack of candy cigarettes
Wallies gas and go set to go lol love your videos
FLYING J AND LOVES put them out of business...
nasty why would you open a bathroom door u don't know what's been in there

We have plenty gas stations along state street. This closed bc they kept getting robbed I guess. This was during the Bush Admin.
Speedway still lets you pump your gas before paying. Even Marathon is changing that policy and letting you pump your gas before paying... as long as you push the 'pay inside' button at the pump first. (At least, that's how it is in Wooster.)

Wallie please tell me what the outro music is. Is it a real song?

Named USA. I don't think it's a chain,
It was a smaller station, and there were hardly
An customers. There was a Pepsi Machine
There. I remember when my father and I were
Going to lunch, he'd stop at the USA station for
Gas. It's really too bad that it had to close.
The building is now longer there, it's a tire
Shop now.
I got fuel there one time you pump first then pay after . a sad site in town I'm sure the carnation mall will be next

Hi Wallie. That looks like a old Clark gas station. How are you and your mom doing? How is your girlfriend? Have a great week.
Great video Wallie. You should have drove up to 1 of the gas pumps and acting like you were going to pump gas. Like you do at the abandoned fast food restaurants when you pull up to the order box.
