Happy new year everyone ! This video is a unique one, a mountain town that used to house mining workers and their families. After the mines ran dry, the jobs left, and in a couple of decades later, we can go back in time and see what's left. Let me know what you think of this place ! And have a happy and healthy new year!

It closed, remodeled and reopened as something else. But, it has all different employees, and a different crowd. From a certain perspective, that old bar is gone. I'll still run into those people now and again. Greet them with a handshake or a hug. So, seeing this bar and those pictures, makes me a little sad. Some of those people might have gotten together now and again, but that whole crowd, probably haven't all been together since the last time at this bar.

I was 28 in 1999. It's a world I remember of analog machines, vinyl records, filled ashtrays in bars, no flat screens or computers and cellphones. No micro brew, no IPAs or sours or Russian imperial stouts. Lightbulbs where not LED, the light was softer and warmer and tinted with nicotine. I'm in my 50ies now and back then, I would be considered an old man, but that too has changed as 50 has become the new 40 and so on. 2 years later in 2001 on 9/11 the world changed for good and it was never the same. The next big change happened during the "face mask" epidemic. There's a generation that will never know the carefree sense of freedom we had.
@analogdrivenКүн бұрын
As a kid in the 90s, born in the 80s, I watched that carefree sense of freedom and looked forward to it growing up. And you're right in my late 30s, had I been this age during that time I'd have been considered beyond my sell-by date. Now people look at me as if I'm a kid still! It's frustrating knowing what was and has now become. Actual kids hese days really don't understand what's been lost and their behavior most reminds me of people who are institutionalized.

What I'd like to know was what led to having the water tested? Did people start getting sick-- possible death or deaths? Was the owner charged in a death-(s)-- Maybe a big lawsuit? Stuff just doesn't add up to just leave so much behind, at least take the food out of the place- maybe donate it to a church or food bank. Have some yard sales-- There are folks that buy the pin ball machines - with the dart board trophies that were displayed so proudly -- Wouldn't you take the trophies with you? They don't take up much room. Was there only one owner-& maybe that person died because of the water & that's why the place wasn't cleaned out? Just look at all the pictures left there ! Wouldn't the locals who had their pictures taken there want to save their pictures? So many questions to most likely never will get answers. If I could I'd go to the courthouse & library and would try to find out answers. Microfish - go through old news papers at the library.

The surface would be very smooth wood, dusted with a little sawdust to keep it slippery. Your playing piece would be a very smooth, heavy metal disc about the size of a hockey puck, which you would slide down to knock down, or in the case of a shuffleboard, flip your pins up. The machine would total your score like a pinball machine would. They were really quite fun, but I haven't seen one in years. Very cool to see!

Because they are too busy on social media and apps to meet people. You used to actually have to go out to find a significant other. I met my wife of 20 years at a bar randomly (it was a karaoke night and we both had been dragged by a friend) the bar was in the middle of nowhere (the Abby in Enosburgh Vermont- google it) we exchanged numbers, and I called her house for 3 weeks until we finally reconnected and went out. The rest was history lol. But you had to have some sort of communication skills to actually get someone to talk to you, it wasn’t fake filtered photos on an app, you saw each other face to face the moment you met, that chemistry was the best feeling when you met someone you were not only attracted to, but could hold conversation!

My hats off to this community. Where I live this would never be possible because of the amount of crime and vandalism

That is a beautiful bowling EM game and should be preserved. You should contact an arcade restoration person to come and save it.
As a kid born in the early 90s, the dive bars like this had the best food.

*Places like that always remind me of a saying I picked up in the Navy; perfect is the enemy of good enough. It wasn't a big fancy joint with 12.00 drinks and live music at $1,000 a night, but a good time was had by most. There's a place joint not far from my house that is the same story. Something happened, the last time somebody turned out the lights and shut the doors nobody thought it would be The Last Time. Or perhaps they knew. I've seen a place that closed after a New Year's Eve blowout. Everybody just left, nobody cleaned up because there was no point, you could walk in and there was still trash in the cans and dishes and glasses setting where people set them down.*

Hello Devin: Thank you for another very interesting video. I have enjoyed your videos and I am still trying to catch up with all you created. What I appreciate is your interest in the places you record. I was really struck by this video because my grandma owned a restaurant in a small town that looked a lot like this bar. And it was a place where "everybody knows your name" and the locals like to hang out because of her. She could dish it out, so to speak, and she could take it - all with the greatest love and respect for every one of those who came in the door. She would get up every morning at 3 am to make homemade pies and other treats for the day. Even though she was sick she never wanted to be put in a hospital or home. So true to her wish, one day she took someone's order (she ran the greasy spoon cafe by herself) and did not come back out. Finally a customer went to check and found her passed out on a counter. She died doing exactly the way she wanted to go: Working, not in a home or hospital. Thank you for a wonderful memory. While I was sad to lose her, I live with her happy memories every day. Sincerely, Bruce

Never understood, why they just leave everything to rot away. Like the games and pool tables, which they could have sold to collectors or donated. And also all the personal stuff like photos etc. And damn, 1999 feels like just a couple of years ago. I feel old 😂

I know, like the vcr and TV were still valuable back then. I have seen alot of videos like this and it's like they just walked out and locked the door.

More than likely they were forced out and not allowed to return at the time per court order. County usually takes over and then these places just rot.

the record you show at 5:03 is all the way from the UK, wonder how it got out there. It has the price of 89p from a shop called W.H.Smith. They're still in business today and are akin to something like a Staples, selling office supplies and books.

I noticed a Budweiser Light sign on the old cooler behind the bar. Budweiser Light was introduced in 1982, and was renamed Bud Light by late 1983.

United Cavalier is a shuffleboard table. You put sawdust down on the table and slide a puck to hit pins that were hanging.

ha i work in the beverage industry and ive seen some small bars that look frozen in the 80s. even with the small amounts of modern tech the overall inside looks like its from the past in those places. but then i was a kid in the 80s and hit my teen years in the 90s so i know what the overall asthetic of that time period was.
