      Yeah....the theater didn’t close due to high taxes. (Not sure where that was sourced from). In 1967 Newark burned for 4 days. The rioting wasn’t centered in this area but it did kill this area as a destination shopping and commercial district for the Northern New Jersey. ~150 other cities in the US also had race riots and uprisings that summer.

    Glad to see The Proper People on your channel. They are one of only a very few who are as respectful of old places as you are, and they’re also great videographers. I like it when you do collabs with other groups, although your soothing voice narration is missed. Nice one Dan.

      It's a steel and concrete framed building. The main thing is the condition of the roof in how much water damage there is from above.

    • @malifor2210
      @malifor2210 4 года назад

      @@justinmccowan2543 It's still pretty dry for an an abandoned building that sat for decades. Normally water damage comes from leaky roofs that break through drywall like ceiling panels (whatever they're called) then sop on the floor leaving puddles and or huge water damage. I saw their breath in the video so I think it could be in the colder seasons, but still, there's no sign of puddles or frozen water if that's the case or even badly damaged flaky bubbling paint. The rust on some of the metal rubble could just be humidity and either way it's still not common to see an abandoned building/place just being dusty from age and the structure crumbling away due to lack of water damage. (Well there's old abandoned western establishments)
