This video blows my mind! I taught in this school from 1974 until we moved up the street to 12th and Fairmount.One of the classrooms you walked through used to be mine. I used to take my kids up to the roof to play. I guess it is hard for viewers to imagine the place clean and full of life, but I can. I was there. Oh, fun fact - in some of the shots you can see the folding walls that we pushed back, accordion style, to make one big room to have assembly (we didn't have an auditorium).

[@BullseyesComicBooks]

Gwynne Isaacs cool!

[@tinkerspell4850]

Wow That rooftop playground is amazeballs.

[@FinSituation]

11:12 Thanks for the almost heart attack

[@Gregory_TheWatchman]

This building will be renovated to assist homeless veterans and help them to get re-established in the job market and or educational and health assistance. I like the all-inclusiveness of the program. Help us get re-established back into the job market. This is a great idea being implemented! Finally, someone is showing some concern. We need more of these programs/projects across America.

[@Rebekajade]

This was my favorite video so far.

[@LifeInFramePHL]

Glad they'll be doing something with the space. We live in the city and we're constantly trying to find places to explore/film. Thankfully we've hit the City Branch tunnel.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

...at least the spray paint industry is still going through a financial boom

[@maldonvic]

Thanks that was fantastic, I love your videos and your attention to detail. I couldn't help imagining sights and sounds of real class in session while your video rolled, maybe you should try adding some.

[@Spartahhh]

This footage is crazy walking by this school @ night after getting off work everyday was trippy

[@hyperflexharrington5]

Must commend all of you for the places you go. Greatly appreciate the videos.

[@davecloony5404]

Wow! My brother was a student there in the mid-seventies. He and I used to go to a fast food restaurant near there called Gino's.

[@gladeye2]

Look at all the reusable resources in there, solid wood bookcases,facias and doors etc, its a wonder the locals haven't stripped that place out, gotta pay top dollar for solid wood furniture these days

[@samiyahsanders6690]

Wow I live down the street from that

[@williamgriffin6515]

glad u are back..

[@moldbreath]

8:50 "there's always money in the banana stand" haha

[@kissofdeath10032]

I'm glad to see you posted a new video. Cause you been on a drought

[@Sagasaurus]

Thanks; I had no idea what that was when he commented on it.

[@tiffmunk158]

When you first started going up the stairs I could have sworn that id heard a kid talking and laughing....

[@LumenChaser]

Awesome cool to see a new vid from u!!!!

[@signs2beware]

Great Video,!! Hell-Of-A-Channel,!!,.Like the way you put it together!!!

[@Traumaqueenamy]

[@miamidolphin2009]

[@MrWill1975]

This was my school back in '80-'81 first grade. Lived in the Cambridge Mall Building

[@TheRealDumbNiggas]

Beautiful school. Know one gee bee.

[@jessafronsky9609]

I worked there as security during the renovation's it was creepy and haunted.

[@rosscfilms]

Hey man another great vid!

[@TheUnknownCameraman]

In this case being a grade school, I would assume for the board or administrators to take the time and make the effort to find someone to donate the books to is considered a waste of resources as it does not directly benefit the school. People are greedy and selfish, and I would imagine that's why the books go to waste. Though its possible efforts may have been made in the past, and local libraries and thrift stores are already overloaded with the previous volumes of the same books. Not sure.

[@leonardoferreira2265]

I know that a lot of urban explorers use masks, one of them told me it's more because of black mold, although lead paint and asbestos should also be taken into consideration.

[@moocowdad]

wow..not much room so they put the basketball court on the roof, not the greatest area of Philly, awesome video, great job.

[@kyleconfino60]

the unknown camera man needs to get to Linfield industrial park in linfield PA ive been there about 6 time so many buildings i never know where to begin exploring.

[@nagaempress]

That roof seriously rocks. We had a roof top swimming pool in ours but they made us go 8 blocks away to another pool and never let us use it due to insurance issues. Stupid.

[@TheUnknownCameraman]

In America the text book business is a big scam. Students are often forced to purchase them and told they can sell them back to a book store at the end of the year, but the books are usually updated each year and quickly become outdated and practically worthless. It IS a colossal waste. At universities the books are often written by the teacher of the class. New books each year means more money. The old volumes should be donated, but I suppose with this practice no one wants to take them.

[@aliciastahl254]

Amazing!

[@JCRineer]

HOW have I not seen this place? I live in Philly! I love your videos, btw

[@TheDillchipset]

This is great!

[@sheriwhispers]

I'd like to see you go into one single building that hasn't been defaced in any way shape or form...........Erms

[@NickysFX]

Thank you sooooooo much !:))

[@alextothehbro]

That spot at like 2:35 would be a fun place to ball and skate and kick it. As long as you're armed haha.

[@retrotellephone]

I prefer the title in this video to the longer one.

[@KyleMills1]

Can you give a little history or info during the clips, audio or notes, that's the only improvement I can see otherwise great as usual. When was it abandoned? Built?

[@da6footbandit]

I have a ton of pics of this school when it was open kids playing in the school yard everything

[@DjDeity215]

I drive past this all the time

[@stvlu733]

I was watching this when Pink Floyd's Another brick in the wall came on the radio.

[@twizz420]

That graffiti is as philly as it gets. Love it. I need to come down to your neck of the woods and hit up some of these awesome abandoned places. We have hardly anything decent up here, it usually gets ripped down ASAP.

[@mitchishell]

Soooo smashed up!

[@hardluckboogie]

Do you ever get paranoid or scared when you are in these places?

[@ilovecamping04]

It's funny how all you guys are saying he has balls when I'm 15 little girl who goes in here all the time

[@ilovecamping04]

Vinny Carrocia Actually neither, i just love to explore abandoned buildings

[@foster5599]

ilovecamping04 lil white girls wanting attention

[@sheriwhispers]

+ilovecamping04 Your fucking parents know where you are ya twit

[@ReineDeLaSeine14]

You need to be extremely careful...you can easily get hurt or get arrested. If you continue, PLEASE don't ever go alone.

[@signs2beware]

Great Video,!! Hell-Of-A-Channel,!!,.Like the way you put it together with all the details,!!!

[@dakota199424]

someone was blasting miguel 3:28 lmao

[@redstonehax]

I wish I could join you guys on one of these trips c:

[@NickysFX]

Hello there! I am making a short movie for a local film competition and was wondering if I can use some of your footage ? I'll give you credits. Thank you!)

[@Sdotmouse99]

That's so fucking cool. I'd love to do what you guys do.

[@jtkodack03]

It cracked me up wen he put the on the dead bird . RIP Jerred

[@jolovesminnis]

Prime example of what's wrong with America. First close the school, then the derelicts come in and destroy the place because they hate themselves, don't have any respect for themselves, so don't respect other property or even their own. Thanks for the video. Would appreciate it if you could tell why or even when the school closed

[@chernyl26]

Honestly looks like someone was wrapped up in that blanket at the end, You are lucky you didnt get hurt

[@EvilStark1]

Wow that place is creepy,you can even find the documents

[@Fade2Black820]

Have you guys ever been caught in or leaving an abandoned sight?

[@wolfjosh97]

When were you down in phily? I used to live around that old school.

[@kellymonet6534]

Have you ever run into people in these building that scared you? I mean like aggressive and chased you or threatened you? Are you scared when you are in there? Just wondering cuz when I watch your videos I get freaked that someone is hiding around a corner or there is a stray dog that might charge you. Do you bring protection…maybe a Taser or dog spray? I love to watch these videos they are so cool.

[@08thrya]

i would love to try this in England but can never find as cooler places like these how do u go about finding locations? word of mouth or internet?

[@Mommy2amoocow1224]

At about 9:25 is that you muttering to yourself or is it other voices? I heard about 3 different voices and I'm just curious.

[@nathan83699]

its the kind thats playing next door in the backyard.

[@ParkourDenver]

Logic filmed a music video at this spot. You should look it up. It's "nasty" by logic if your into hip hop.

[@detriotman]

I know that you, keep some of the stuff that you find.

[@raccoonbro118]

Nice 4chan reference at 11:40

[@ManiacGamingWolfcubgaming]

Sad there I would take every thing there and donate it for the poor the good stuff anyway it's sad to say many things are left

[@ExarKunDK]

Still a nice work ;)

[@SaltyNationalist]

Lol... Nothing but Tag Tag Tag... Looks to me like that school has seen better days... Great filming though.. Keep up the good work..

[@sk8forlife782]

Cool!

[@Benthetrainkid]

UPDATE: It appears that the school has been converted to an apartment building

[@meghanandjohnny]

Hey, I just wanted to know how you find all of these places, I am a photographer and i was just wanting to get some ideas of where to go? anyone...thanks

[@AbandonedPlacesFL]

Some info is here, Google "WHAT’S UP WITH THE OLD SPRING GARDEN SCHOOL?"

[@AnklepantsSkateZine]

So much graffiti. The top looks the best with it, especially on the brick pillars. That would be great place to skateboard and film/photograph.

[@ilovecamping04]

I was there yesturday fully open

[@forterierocks]

Pretty trashed... Friggin vandals!!! Roof top gym was sweet, any idea when the school was build or when it closed???

[@cookiedough9714]

can you explore more schools

[@sume555]

It saddens me to see old places with grafitti all over them especially abandoned houses. Some of which are hundreds of years old. It might just be me but I think its disrespectful to the people that built the places and the urbanex people that explore them. But sadly that's the price we pay for modern living.

[@paolarauda6608]

they fixed that school

[@shay4018]

Paola Rauda where is this at

[@DefMcDoe]

this place is exactly like the school building in silent hill 2

[@shawnoshawn]

at 0:59 seconds theres a strange noise, the hell was that?

[@ColtComanche]

SPOOKY! A math test!

[@justinrodriguez259]

The basketball court looks like the one logic was in for the music video for nasty

[@Glezz]

What were you saying at 5:09? It got kind of cut off.

[@ZachT]

great video :-)

[@kissofdeath10032]

Why so short the video? No info on the place?

[@LPSChevron]

Around four minutes I kept hearing music.

[@elliewelsh931]

Yeah me too

[@kacperwarchol195]

how easy is it to get in? what is the security around it like??

[@RedRayTiger]

Dude, you have some balls.

[@paolarauda6608]

and I'm in that school

[@SamFurch]

They completely destroyed it! Why must people do this!?!

[@BrunoFelipeGarrote]

bom dia amigo... tem como vc me mandar esse livros que estão na prateleira, amigo c vc mandasse eu pagaria o correio...

[@DNAnimus]

Lol I could see my middle school from the roof! Not the safest area to be in, which is why he said not to get too comfortable seeing as she is a woman basically alone.

[@beccarago7334]

SOMEONE TELL ME IF THIS IS STILL ABANDONED AND NOT KNOCKED DOWN ASAP

[@paolarauda6608]

omg

[@mat123YT]

Man, they vandalized the heck out of that place -- one of these days you guys are going to come across a dead body.

[@EvilStark1]

Do you want us to see something specific?

[@grimninja2004]

I have never seen so much graffiti is one place, it freaking everywhere.

[@leonardoferreira2265]

Have you ever got somewhere first? Like no graffiti or anything?

[@yacanman11]

keep it up man :)

[@IndependenceCityMotoring]

This is now a luxury apartment building..."Mural Lofts" in Philadelphia. murallofts.com/gallery/

[@TheUnknownCameraman]

That looks like this school: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3yXZqhuYq19ZpI . But this one recently was also approved for a renovation project to house homeless veterans: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHLCgaprjdFpedU

[@ElectroBlastLuigi]

Independence City Motoring wrong school dude. I'm around there and it actually just gone under construction to become a resting home for seniors and veterans this year. www.aia.org/pages/6068395-2018-aia-film-challenge-winners
