They Took This Quarry for Granite

[@fubarlife7776]

I always enjoy your calm peaceful demeanor. Your videos relax me, thank you ✌️

[@helllnoe]

Killer pun ! You rock !

[@saintsinner7565]

I live in Europe and I’m so thankful for these trips I can take with you and see places what I would never see otherwise Really awesome

[@roadweary5252]

I worked there as a security guard in the early 2000’s and yes, it was impossible to keep people out.

[@effdonahue6595]

I worked there too as a security guard overnights mainly

[@sallykohorst8803]

Yes very interesting subject matter and thanks for sharing.

[@NaomisAdventures]

That place is pretty cool

[@mystic_mermaid8974]

I couldn't of said it better, your calm peaceful demeanor helps me relax too! I love your videos! ♥

[@forfoxsake7972]

*couldn't have

[@VRed37]

Loved exploring the quarry. Those peeks from the top of the walls to down below was dizzying. Thanks for taking me along.

[@lucyfuir6386]

That 1st tall perch they show was called rooftop. I was always too chicken to jump but a bunch of my friends used to jump off of that all the time. We would hang out there in the summer during the early 90s. Sometimes there would be a 100 kids there on a given day

[@lowlifeminitrucker6910]

I have alot of anxiety and I love when you upload a video. It's calming to watch and the content is always good. Thanks

[@MobileInstinct2]

Hey, I'm glad I can help you!

[@ChrisCanary]

We used to hitchhike down there from Dorchester and jump off the cliffs back in the 1970s. They had different names, depending on the height. There had to have been 100s of cars at the bottom, dumped over the decades. The granite originally quarried from there was used for building Civil War forts, Bostons curbstones, Bunker Hill Monument and other things. It had it's own railway, used for hauling down the rock. Quincy Quarries are very old, and historically significant.

[@johnrobb9408]

Quincy granite is still available for counter tops, unless it's sold out. Pink feldspar and gray/clear quartz polishes really nice.

[@cosmos7492]

I've always wanted to visit Beacon Hill Boston on the bucket list lol thanks for showing us this Chris enjoyed it

[@johnrobb9408]

This is near the blue hills.

[@majorbuzz]

Wow! Wonderful tour (as usual) of a very unique location. Thanks!

[@vilecomfort]

Glad to see this place is still drained! Had to get rid of a lot of feral ghouls the last time I was there!

[@UnwrittenSpade]

Hahaha

[@scottrider641]

Chris, Great photography. You have such a keen eye for details. I'm delighted to be a Patreon supporter 👌👍

[@JTW78]

Great video, been there a few times. I lived in Quincy for 15 years

[@jrosnov]

You’re making me nervous being up so high Chris,be careful up there! Great video!😊

[@CANControlGRAFFITI]

He’s lost his mind!!

[@absatwell8163]

There was a quarry in I believe Miegs Ohio, maybe Athens. The water was turquoise and we used to trespass and jump from about 3 stories up. That was over 30 years ago. The OU students used to go. Fun times!

[@RyDawg084]

Great Video!

[@xploration1437]

You haven’t even watched it yet.

[@davidking3311]

Quincey granite is what alot of the late 1800's and early 1900's gravestone were carved from

[@samanthab1923]

Wow, that quarry still had water in it in 2007. They filmed a shot from Gone Baby Gone at Quincy Quarries. Very cool.

[@toupac3195]

'Breaking Away' (1979) was an awesome movie! Hanging out at these quarries was big part of the movie. Good times.

[@user-dt3rj8qm3k]

It looks like a place where loads of heavy metal/ Grunge music videos would have been shot down though the 80/90s. Excellent video always 👊

[@poione42]

Remember going swimming in the Quincy quarries during the summer time. Grew up in Weymouth during the early 90’s

[@jburnett8152]

I heard they took that place for granite. Too funny.😂

[@survivalistengineer2102]

Great video! thank you

[@JohnShinn1960]

I'm not into spraypaint unless I wanna change the color of my wagon. (Coming from a city, I'm thoroughly burned out on the "art") To each their own though so why not do up your private parts and I'll watch. 🤓👍 Thanks Chris! 🤠👍

[@L_87]

I wish they would spray paint their own shit and not think they can graffiti whatever they want

[@dgonthehill]

beautiful tyvm

[@anthonymiller8979]

Quincy granite had a very unique look. We used it occasionally for cemetery monuments to match early 1900s markers and monuments. I think the last quarry closed in 1963 but we could still get it, with difficulty in the mid to late 1970s. I suppose there is none available now for that purpose.

[@PTSDiy]

Quinzee to the locals. Kids always used to die in those quarries. Some would hit submerged cars.

[@Goomer]

Hay, you were near my Town. I've been to the quarries.

[@TheFinnMcGovern]

This is the quarry they used for the abduction scene in Gone Baby Gone.

[@johnrobb9408]

First they drained it to check for missing persons. Then they filled it in I was there climbing in the early 2000s too bad you painted it 😉 I did see my 6th grade friend Jocko Binda jump into swingles quarry. Got to climb on a few high school field trips at the reflector oven wall.

[@EATTHECAKE89]

This gave me severe anxiety. Standing on a rocky surface at the edge of a cliff with nothing to hold on to

[@brendakrieger7000]

Cool💕

[@sandramcdaniel2]

Very interesting 👍🏻

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

My husband worked for one of the companies doing the Big Dig

[@dezertraider]

VERY COOL..SAFE TRAVELS

[@ernestj3081]

You find the most amazing places Chris! A beautiful piece of real estate for sure💙🙏🏻

[@wedin1051919]

I used to live near there. I thought there was still missing bodies in there.

[@masonteed9937]

My fave smoke spot😌

[@PageG111]

I first jumped the Quincy quarry in ‘83 at 12 yo. Tons of cars dumped in there. Many deaths. Remember hearing of a kid speared by a car antenna

[@Cent51]

05:37 that cool..

[@MichelleJune67]

not sure if that is the quarry if not it was another one but a girl jumped and never came up when they searched for her body they found two or three other bodies. very crazy. glad you are in my neck of the woods!

[@glass1258]

I use to jump there all the time in my teens .

[@forfoxsake7972]

That pun though... 😂

[@gmanandhislady]

I see what you did with the title there!

[@curtis1997]

Lol I see what you did with the title.

[@FurthermoreJack]

I love your views

[@purpguy69]

I see what you done there!

[@creatureconnor]

Man, if I lived near there, not even draining it and filling it with dirt would stop me! I'd just build a giant leaf pile over several weeks and then dive off into that! 😅

[@proteopathy]

What a pun!

[@Chris-bz6wl]

Never went there but dove at rockport instead.

[@denniscrane9753]

Graffiti has ruined the scenery everywhere!

[@effdonahue6595]

Physical Graffiti or American Graffiti 🤓

[@sandysue202]

I can't say that I am a graffiti fan, and I really wish "they," the graffiti artists, wouldn't just cover everything in bright, neon colored paint. However, I am old school and like to see the historical buildings, and rocks, left in the condition that they were in when they were abandoned. (Sigh) Anyway, thanks for the video and the history of that old quarry. We have lots and lots of old, abandoned mines down here in southern Missouri, and many are filled with water and lots of undesirable things. Deep holes in the earth, filled with years of rain water and snow melt, are creepy, and I wish a bunch of these were filled in with dirt!

[@L_87]

They have no respect for history and it looks like shit

[@louiev4127]

Sup Chrissy how've ya been.

[@CANControlGRAFFITI]

Not an ideal place for graffiti but hey if ppl aren’t complaining about that, that’s good. I think one of them did actually win an award though

[@adamfrbs9259]

You said apparently as many times as a little chubby kid did on the news. Lol (classic you tube video)

[@HORSEYANIME2024]

Pls do more collaboration videos with lamount at large

[@JohnShinn1960]

Kenisha, his name is spelled "Lamont." 😉👍

[@badapple65]

12,000 years from now the very faint traces of paint will have them claiming it was a “Temple” of some sorts and Tweety Bird was our God.

[@OleGeezerCirca1941]

🥱👎

[@thomasschwarting5108]

Don't care for all the graffitti. Makes it look ugly in my opinion.

[@smashthebug4723]

I just wanted to know how you feel about Lamont's other youtube channels. One is black bigalow. He made a few videos about a youtube couple call Squirmy and Grubs. Do you feel the same way he does about them? And the video he made about a tiktoker who he asked out but she said no. Do you feel the same way he does about women? Im asking because you both seem like good friends.

[@Rehtoric_fix]

I literally live down the street 💀 from there LMAOO

[@paulsmodels]

Yeah. You can tell that these "artists" really care deeply about the environment?

[@cplcabs]

Such a shame about the graffitti. Why do they have to ruin everywhere with it?

[@pdm9x]

Thought of rick and morty after reading the title.

[@Liz-cmc313]

😅 cute title.

[@thomasschwarting5108]

Parks are cool, not so much the graffitti.

[@fubarlife7776]

@@thomasschwarting5108 Agreed. Tattoos and graffiti I do not consider artwork.

[@FUY735]

I am about 2 1/2 hours from here in South Portland Maine!

[@joycecampbell876]

Nice artwork

[@xploration1437]

Where?

[@prex345]

What a shame that total idiots have tagged all that.

[@superspeederbooster]

It would be so much nicer without the graffiti

[@GOODOLEBOY1]

Sad to see all that graffiti…

[@thebeez9487]

What a crap hole. Way to go vandals.

[@L_87]

Can we stop calling them artist and instead vandals like they are?

[@festyguy7405]

Graffiti is so ugly!

[@paradoxstudios6639]

Ugly looking with all the paint.

[@RallEeyeRedact]

I love graffiti but that shit needs to stay in the city on man made walls. Not in nature like this… 😢

[@xploration1437]

What a punny title.

[@MobileInstinct2]

😂

[@kevenclinton4970]

Disgusting graffiti

[@sherriek3476]

I had a couple friends dye in them quarry growing up we all went swimming and two of us never made home😢

[@MobileInstinct2]

Wow! So sorry. I read about a number of deaths and drownings since I was there.

[@Mr.Death101]

With all that Rusty wire poking out it should be called tetanus Park! Someone's going to fall on that one day and see the city because that's ridiculous that that's exposed like that

[@MobileInstinct2]

Could definitely happen

[@somelikeithot444]

I definitely wouldn't swim there.LolAnother interesting video Chris.😊
