[@patrickwhiteford4268]

Uncharted Travel buddy just a heads up you guys were very lucky not to stumble upon anything too bad.BGF is the largest gang in baltimore and you guys were wondering around their trap house. North Ave is not a place to take lightly. Stay safe guys, lived in Baltimore all my life, seen it all. Just to say you guys got lucky is an understatement. Great content as always tho appreciate it, just please do be safe, especially in hard gang territory

'The Triangle of Death' it's an area of West Baltimore where the most murders occur and..uh... here we are in abandoned building in the middle of it, late at night. Noone: Me: Yassssss

You have the best voice for You Tube Dan say hi to Brennen oh nice jocks lol and Rick when you see him!! Best wishes from Australia!! 😘😘😘

People used paneling back in the day because it was a cheap way to cover old perhaps damaged plaster walls. Sometimes covering beautiful woodwork. My parents used paneling to cover old yucky walls after a kitchen fire. It was cheap and easy to install. Years later they tore it down and completely remodeled our home. I live in it now. It's a beautiful folk home built in 1812.

[@Karmy.]

I just associate it with 1970s basements lmfao

[@patrickwhiteford4268]

Lived in baltimore all my life. BGF is one of the largest gangs in baltimore city. Black Gorilla Family I believe? That's why you found the drug paraphernalia it was most likely a gang trap house with the numbers. You made a good guess most definitely a trap house. BGF uses a lot of bible stuff as code also but most likely was an active corner that the sellers would rotate shifts and whatnot. Be safe Dan! I've been in plenty of bandos in Baltimore, never know what you'll run into, or who

[@jamesburkjr2803]

Definitely true. I have lived here all my life as well. Any where you see BGF or 276 that is them

[@patigiddens1314]

That was creepy but kinda sad as well. Peoples families and lives gone. Love your voice as well Dan!!!!! Thanks.

[@SuV33358]

Hey Dan and Brennen! Love you guys, from Rochester NY!! Love watching everything you do....and Dan, thanks for your buttery voice right before bed....aaaaahhhhhh😴

Hey Dan, back in the day of wood paneling people were getting sick from it because it contained formaldehyde!

just arrived back home to the UK from a holiday in Spain (doing my own version of ADR in the hotel we stayed in, first thing I looked for when I logged on was Dan Bell, whatever he does it is so interesting and explained in detail, off to watch a few more of his videos, I think I might just be obsessed,

[@Strongbah43]

Dan: Hey Everyone.. Me: Hey Dan Bell.

[@YellowRubberDuckie]

So glad to see you doing these again. I am a patron, and while ADR is great, I miss dead malls and abandoned spaces. I have noticed more content lately. I hope that means life is getting better for you. 🙋‍♀️

[@kellydeal72]

Awwww, poor Elmo. It always saddens me when you guys find the stuffed animals.

[@tiffanymarieguerrero6734]

My goodness Dan! There you go with that soothing voice again! Thank you for another great video! Love ya Dan! 💙

[@kathybrenneman1868]

Hi Dan, Just another night in paradise. Wow. You guys are brave going into the West Baltimore triangle at night. Brave or crazy? Not sure which, maybe a bit of both. I'm surprised by the few rats you saw. Then the dying one explains it. They must have done a recent neighborhood bait to kill them off. They do that when they get real bad. You never cease to amaze me Dan, the places you go with no fear. I hope you're packin? You go into the worst places. One of these days I'm afraid your luck will run out my friend. I'm afraid you'll run into some junkie trying to get his fix, thinking you're there to take his stuff and it's gonna get ugly. It happens all the time. I pray to God to keep you all safe. I hope it helps. The world has gotten so mean and nasty. You never know what type of person you're going to run in to. I've been here from the beginning and I'll be here till the end. Blessings to you and yours. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. Your Faithful Follower, Kathy B. (Fairylady0227) 💜

[@lilrip2691]

Thanks for sharing Dan. Be safe out there friend.

[@pierre-jean-jacques3050]

They call it a "railroad apartment" when you have to go through one room to get to the next (like the bedrooms you mentioned). I've come across many of them and it would be a nightmare to live in but certainly better than nothing. They're common in NYC and surrounding areas.

[@kevinspilker6622]

"It's almost like opening up a tomb". That was incredibly well-stated and why I love your videos. It's a look at forgotten and discarded things that would otherwise just decay quietly.

[@rickperry3165]

Wood paneling reminds me of the 80s lol. We lived in a house with wood paneling in the living room and dining room, as well as one of the bedrooms. Good memories though. So it doesn't depress me. It reminds me of home and when life was just....... easier.

[@nickm5419]

i have wood paneling in the same areas too except the rooms

[@Deenique16]

Elmo looked like he'd been murdered 😂

[@TheSWolfe]

Either that, or offed himself: Just Kill Me Elmo.

[@mrgreengenes04]

Walking through one bedroom to access another isn't uncommon in older houses. Usually the parents take the back room and the kids would have the front bedroom. It's especially common in older single family homes converted to apartments.

[@UncleScorch]

Another great upload. I’ve always wondered if you guys have frightened other people who may be passing by and happen to see eerie lights (yours) moving about the abandoned building you’re walking through, lol. Thanks again for the vids!

[@bricktrooper540]

It sad to see so many homes left rotting away in Baltimore.

[@MonyTesoro]

Hi Dan.. U film the best videos. I NEVER get motion sickness. Watching them. . No one films as good as you! Im glad Brennen goes with you so your not alone... Always love your voice.....and the heavy breathing from u being nervous just adds to us getting us worked up makes us feel like were there too. Lol.Please keep up the great work......

[@jamieray6886]

Thanks so much for this video. You are the best Dan! I really enjoyed this and the live ADR.

[@backspacedeleted]

Yes! Love seeing a new Dan Bell video in my notifications!

[@higgsbosongirl]

I grew up in the time when all that brown paneling started appearing. I remember how wonderful middle class/working class people like my parents thought it was. It was considered somehow superior to painted walls and especially old-fashioned wallpaper (which I loved). You started seeing it everywhere. My mother had some paneling put up, but fortunately it was light-colored. Still ... I think part of the appeal was the walls didn't have to be painted. I began to have an aversion toward it early on. It was so depressing. I love seeing the old wallpapers underneath some of the paneling in old buildings. 70s decor has not held up.

[@1romancatholic]

Nobody out on a Sunday night as they all have to be up at 6 to work 🙄 - think man. Dangerous. 😵

[@jamesburkjr2803]

The problem with that is alot of them don't work

[@LakeNipissing]

Excellent video, Dan. Great voice over. *Goetze's!!!* That was CRAZY. One of the scariest videos you have ever made. For sure on par with hiding in the bathroom of the house when the drug deal was going on. Relating to Goetze's... I am eating some awesome "Caramel Cremes" made by Goetze's Candy Co. in Baltimore, MD. We actually get these in North Bay, Canada.

[@michaelcroxton6426]

Lake Nipissing I used to work at Goetze back in the early 2000’s before I got a job working for the city. The owners were cool. Just kinda sucked making candy all day. Too hot!

[@theparanormalfiles]

Absolutely amazing!!

[@brandon4194]

Big fan of wood paneling in basements. Like to reno upstairs to look modern and have the basement look right out of the 70s.

[@linall2345]

Quiet time!!!! Totally enjoyed this Dan. Really is sad to see. I always picture people going about their lives and what it must have looked like when I see places like this.

Loved it. Thanks Dan! Your voice is so soothing. Peace brother.

[@ChuckSneed88]

6:28 Man I miss wood paneling first place I lived was the finished basement of my grandparents house that they built in the 60s and it had some clean ass wood paneling. Shit just looks more genuine/natural n comfy too and I prefer it to a plaster wall slathered in chemicals that have micro particles that you'll end up breathing in on a daily basis but I guess that's just me.

[@elizabeth_evangelium]

Amazing as always Dan! Keep em coming my friend ❤

[@timothygoebel1427]

Dan’s voice is very relaxing to listen to.

[@ericgilbert1087]

"I used to live in a place like this... a long time ago" I knew that Dan was secretly a raccoon that was made human by a warlock! I always knew it. Why do you think he likes abandoned places and food courts so much?

You obviously haven't been into an apartment or as we call them "flats" in the UK! What you're looking at now is about the same size as a normal flat here, even the stairs are about the same width! Keep safe and please can we have more Quiet Time stories, I and many others love those stories.

[@oldenweery7510]

I had to stop at 6:41 to comment: Dan, that paneling was even flimsier than you said! We used that when we added a room onto our summer cottage and it's a whopping *3mm* thick---less than 1/8 inch. Lovely! We even covered the ceiling with it and standing in the doorway looking across the ceiling at night, it looked like pecan-colored waves! Good thing it didn't move or you'd get mal de mer.

[@cartoonlover8388]

Love your narrations and brave spirit going inside these places!

[@lizdowlingcodes6009]

Drop ceilings are fucking nasty. Then in combination with wood panelling in a tiny apartment such an oppressive atmosphere. Hope the family who lived there moved someplace better

Oh, Dan, I just love your laugh! I'm glad you're not wandering around by yourself. You should look up the "Broken Window Theory" on urban blight. It's very interesting. Thank you for all that you do.

[@barbara8802]

Love waking up to Dan and Brennen....will have to wait to watch....😘

[@James-lq5zz]

Great video Dan. Regarding the building I get the feeling that this wasn't built as an apartment block and was probably a single unit house before being converted to apartments. I think the narrow staircase is a clue to that but also the layout and small dimensions of the rooms. I am guessing it was renovated in the early '70s and converted in apartments then as a lot of the alterations that you made reference to seem to be of that era - eg wood panelling, the suspended polystyrene type ceiling panels, but also the fake stone cladding on the exterior.

[@erinfisher9181]

That place is a nightmare. The people who run the city of Baltimore should take the blame as well as the responsibility and fix the problems dealing with crime, unemployment, and poverty instead of letting it fester, rust, and crumble, all while making themselves rich off the taxpayer's dime or other shady bullshit.

[@jimmyday9536]

Hey Dan, love these videos! As a native Baltimorean myself who retired a few years ago and moved five states west, your videos almost make me nostalgic. Notice I said "ALMOST" 😀🤠.

[@stevehannafab1989]

Many of these “apartments” started life as commercial spaces or large single family homes which explains the odd layouts on each floor. With downturns in neighborhoods landlords will often convert properties to attract more revenue.

[@CrystalKat]

I am new to you! I just love watching everything Dan Bell. I have the same thoughts you do while you film these places; questions of what it must have looked like in its heyday, who lived in these places at one point, why didn’t they leave all this stuff of meaning- like pictures, where did they go? I do have one question that I haven’t heard from you... who owns all of these places? Who is paying they taxes? Just seems like if it was in the cities hands they would put these things out for a chance at life again. Just so sad to see all these beautiful places and materials just turn back to dirt. I feel that maybe something could be done. I feel for Baltimore and the crime and drugs. It’s heartbreaking. Just wondering what’s being done, if anything. Thanks Dan for all your work. I truly appreciate it all! I’m an west coaster so all new sights are enjoyable.
