You know it's bad when somebody says East St Louis is safer. Great video, I especially enjoyed the little bit of narration.
Shane Rohr That’s what I was thinking ‼️
The Chicago & Alton's (B&0) Chicago to St. Louis line then became the Gulf Mobile & Ohio which lasted until the 1970s when the Illinois Central Railroad merged with the GM&O in the 1970s. I grew up in Willow Springs Illinois near the former GM&O Chicago to St. Louis line and saw locomotives still in GM&O paint in the 1980s as a kid. =^.^=
In future videos, I hope you do more narrations and history--that was really interesting. That map overlay was awesome to see.
Thank you for filming this. I remember when this round house was still in use, just before the round house was abandoned. I remember when the railroad took up the track and the turning mechanism that would enable the train engines to go into the bays of the roundhouse. I’ve always wanted to walk through here, but was too afraid I might have a dangerous encounter with others. It’s a shame that the building has deteriorated like it has.
man this guy deserve to have one million subscribes cause I've been watching his video sense he started
Cool video! Enjoyed that you included it's history with those old views...You certainly wouldn't want to end up in the frog pool:)
loved the history and background. I've often wondered about the history behind other locations you've done. I hope this is something you'll do in the future.
Interesting bit of History right here in our back yard , funny to think E.St.Louis safer than Saint Louis , well maybe not funny at all ... Awesome explore, thanks for sharing ....
Thanks for all the railroad history!
thank you for the history on this, I konw you cant do it for all your vids, but i do like learning about the STL area
wow thanks this was amazing
I really liked this video and the historical work you did.
Good find.
you got some balls going to estl alone
i about lost it when you said East St Louis was safer
Very awesome and professional looking video. I really enjoyed the narration of this video, keep it up. The graffiti added a lot more character to the building, thank you for sharing.
Wow! The beauty of that place literally brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing! :)
Love the music. Glad you said the name of the song :)
cool vid
i really enjoyed the history lesson behind this. i love seeing the old buildings but im more facinated with the history of a place and how people lived. i think u should add more facts to your vids because its nice. thanks for the great upload and stay safe.
Great narration! Appreciate the info along with the video.
Awesome video! definitely keep up the good work! loved the history of it. I used to live close to there too
Well that wasn't as hard as I thought it would be to find on Google maps not that I'd have anywhere near enough courage to go to it.
Great vid, nice info, place was a great mess :-) keep em coming.
I was just here and looking for information. where did you get this information. please let me know. I couldn't find anything on the internet.
at first when I read the title I thought it said B&Q roadhouse when I realized I need my eye sight checked
nice music good narration
I like the map overlays and history.
Not much is left of E.St.L. Population was 85,000++at one point in the ‘60’s . Now it is barely 25,000, and still declining.
I have been to this place. It's almost fallen in completely.
man i liked the video man he went to an abandoned Disney land or world but it was scary i thought some jumps cares was gonna happen
What is the song called?
humans sure can build masterpieces, but look what they leave behind
I BEEN HERE Q COUPLE OF TIMES. PHOTOGRAPHED AND DOCUMENTED IT .
QUESTION:
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ON GOOGLE MAPS AT A SIGHT THAT IS A BUILDING LIKE A HORSE BARN THAT IS COMPLETELY SHROUDED IN TREES, BUT ON THE GROUND I CAN NEVER FIND IT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS? I'M SURE IS WAS IN SOME WAY CONNECTED TO THE STOCKYARDS
somewhere safer lol I've been told not to travel to east st louis since I was a kid
+ScrubLordCasual I grew up there and never had any problems, so...it's really not that bad. The city has a lot of history.
I'm sure you know how rumors are I have always heard how terrible that place is but of course I have never really experienced anything there
I totally understand. I heard it a lot in high school (in Belleville). There are areas that I wouldn't walk alone at night in, but overall the city isn't bad. It just looks bad and the mayor never did anything about it. East St. Louis is a decent sized city, but from the highway it's understandable to consider it horrible by the looks of it.
id like to visit this place with ya sometime then after that i could show you tent city saint louis
Go back to Jamestown mall please!
plus theres an abandoned barn too i could show you as well
why must people "tag" deface property like this. save the 3$ and quit panhandling
First!
David Seager by the gods why do people say first ect there is no point in doing so, good video keep up the exploring you have so much more space for abounded places in the states than we do here in the uk.
Well,........hello. Coming from East Saint Louis, yes, a lot has changed, and yes, it is safer than Saint Louis, MO. East Saint Louis gets a bad rap. Almost everyday, Saint Louis is on the news about violence and crime in the city. Their yearly crime rate is ridiculous. You could walk down the street in East Saint Louis, and nothing happens. Saint Louis, MO, be prepared to get robbed. I am so sick of people talking about how bad East Saint Louis is. The only bad, is the lack of jobs and opportunities. Between the 60’s and 80’s, all the white owned businesses left, and the blacks who came from the south (and the Jim Crow laws) and no jobs at the time. Therefore, the economy fell flat, and hopeless. Come on people, we know that every urban neighborhood went through the same thing. Instead of recording, build s business here. Create, not degrade!
