Idk how I didn't know about ur channel,I follow you on Instagram and I so glad I found your KZbin. You should promote you youtube more these vids are absolutely amazing and they aren't getting the views they deserve

[@decayingmidwest]

[@CTRFishing]

Place is gone now. Rockford is saddening

[@kathyweddle4874]

I hope you saved as much as you could before you left. You could’ve donated it to Goodwill or sold it. I don’t think anyone would care as long as this vintage and antique gems were saved!! Those old computers are/were valuable!

[@ramonamuncie5686]

[@mastercheif427]

Those family books in the beginning you should of took and tracked down the owners

[@decayingmidwest]

unfortunately that's still called theft

[@Tomeccho]

@decayingmidwest Your restraint in barely touching anything while you explore is admirable. Even when you do, it's careful. Whether it's plausible deniability or respect, it still shows a depth of character rarely seen in people today, and especially not from people your age. That you are documenting your 'crimes' and it shows you keeping your hands to yourself helps lol I just randomly found your channel and am about 2 hours into hate watching your content. I say hate because knowing these buildings and items are getting destroyed, either by time or machinery, is leaving me feeling incredibly melancholy and despairing. And still I can't stop watching your content. This destruction of the past is so damaging for us as a society, even if it's just small momentos and bric a brac. It's like we are erasing with nonchalance and carelessness the humanity that got us to the point in time we are at. Good or bad, the past is our foundation. Erase and destroy that, and eventually, it will all come down around our ears while we stand about numbly wondering how and why. Thank you for at least recording these places before they are gone forever. The comments people leave show clearly that your work is having an undeniable effect on people, be it profoud or just sparking curiosity. What you are doing is an underrated service to everyone who watches and shares your experiences 🖖 Peace out

Have you ever come across someone inside the buildings you explore?
