In this episode, we explore an abandoned school on the outskirts of Detroit. The school opened as a high school in 1915 but was later turned into a community college and career academy. Detroit's shrinking population eventually lead to its closure in 2009.

We have a new set of Polaroids from Detroit for sale on our website! Check them out here: theproperpeople.com/shop?category=Polaroids
They're one of a kind. Once they sell, they're gone forever.
The Proper People please put captions on your videos
So many chairs just chilling!
I havent watched this video yet, but can you just buy a pair of steel toed, water resistant boots. They're expensive, but worth it. I have to work in mud, muck, job sites, conditions a fair bit worse than what you encounter, but you will be able to wear those anywhere. And your feet will be VERY protected. They might not even be 100% water proof but dry them out wont be an issue and neither is cleaning them. I can't watch another video with you guys forgetting your rubber boots. Also, you can buy rubber covers that you can easily store, remove and put back on again.
The Proper People just bought the Detroit school desk one!!
@@kennabrown7539 nice Kenna! Excellent choice 😁👍
That was my school. I was one of the last graduated classes out of there. I love my city. But this is heartbreaking to watch.
Clyde Soward We all love our good ol Detroit! And theirs a lot f restoration projects going on
No way a fellow Detroit person dude it’s so hard to find anyone from Detroit anymore
I just notice are all 4 of us Detroiters
Chris Schmelter I lived on the low income outskirts but I moved a long time ago but I’m happy there’s still people from Detroit who can recall some of these old places
Also excuse my second comments grammar I’ve been taking German classes some times it melts together lol
About 1971 or so, we were staging "Twelve Angry Men" at Farmington High and learned that Highland Park was also doing the play. A bunch of us in the cast went down to see it. One of Highland Park's actors was sick and there was no understudy, but our person playing the same part was with us. We told someone we had their understudy! They took her to get makeup, and she went on. When the Highland Park cast thanked her during the curtain call, a roar of applause went up. Hard to believe we were in that auditorium that now looks so haunted.
Wow. That must feel really incredible. You have seen this building when it was full of people, full of life, clean etc. and now...it is decaying.
It is really amazing how Detroit has changed for the past 20+ years.
Thanks for sharing!
ahh i'm pretty sure we did that play in 2019 as well (Farmington hs)! fun times
Can I just compliment you guys on your filming technique? So many of these urban explorer videos are poor examples of jerky, handheld camerawork that are frankly nauseating. You guys take your time to compose shots and provide great views. The historical commentary is also much appreciated. Thanks for the great work!
Sean Alan Morris agreed!! love this channel
They do an excellent job indeed. But I think there is also a place for the other explorer videos too since they have that "found footage" type spooky feel.
Sean Alan Morris, agreed! I can’t watch any other explorers anymore because of that:(
yeah and it doesnt feel awkward or like youtuberish it feels like they do this all the time even off camera
yes! others just run around with a camera and it makes me wan vomit literally. this channel is so much better than most of the urban explorers, been binge watching all their videos
This channel is actually real. No staged filming like ghosts or a yelling intro.
*coughExploringWithJoshcough*
Lmmfao @ yellin intro
Like sam and Colby? Used to like them too.
I do agree. There are some other channels, while not urban explorer, that don't really clickbait either. The 8 bit guy, LGR, modern vintage gamer, Andrew Camarata, slim potato head, those are some of the people I'm subscribed to. And there is also myself who doesn't clickbait either.
I have a feeling we aren't even halfway through the Detroit series
I sure hope not because Detroit has some much abandoned actually Michigan has a whole but I highly doubt they have time to do that
I really hope they explore the Michigan Central Station, bit I know that will never happen. Ford bought it and plan to restore it, which means it's probably heavily guarded. It would still be cool if they could get some pictures though.
Lets hope they don’t go to baltimore
They could do Detroit for the next decade. It's a picture-perfect testament to leftist policy.
@@lavafish7660 I hope they do so they can collaborate with Dan Bell again.

Maybe it's from a graffiti artist who works w/lights instead of paint.

love how they said "that's creepy" when the door kept opening and closing on it's own. i would have noped out of there in no time if i saw that
My daughter went there after high school for a nail tech class. I remember walking through to that auditorium...wow!
Yeah I went here I did nail tech in yr 11 but not in yr 12
I graduated from Kindergarten in that building, I have pictures and all..... I'm 31 now. The building used to be very resourceful.
What school is this building
Kindergarten graduation? Good joke.
Post a video with pics, would like to see.
I remember my little cousin Marlon's graduation was there to. He went to Cortland.
need pictures
Are you guys still in Detroit, filming? I have been in the Demolition business for the past 25 years, and I could show you guys some places.
ooh! The Proper People should take you up on this! Would be awesome to see some more viewer interaction!
@@zem6300 From my experience they don't release videos from a certain place while they are still there.
Detroit Wrecker they did this when you can see there breath so I hope they are not still in Detroit.
The videos are filmed around a year before release going by some of the timelines and clips
@@hunterton4310 in Michigan, that could have been a hour ago. LOL!
Hard to imagine such equipment just being left to rot. I do not know if this was public or privide, but I get mad when see government close a school and just put a fence around it let fall in on itself instead of selling the property. Later when they need a new building they have to pass new taxes to pay for while a mile away is a disintegrating building that was fine until they boarded it up, walked away, and did not maintain it.
@Bill Williams Sir, you can't spend money you once had but now no longer have. I don't know how it is in other states but here in Michigan schools are funded mostly by local property taxes. This means that poor communities have vastly inferior schools to more affluent communities. If you want to blame government, blame government for not passing laws that require every student, no matter where they have to live, to be provided with identical resources, support and money.
I Know right! Doesnt make any sense!
@@bobdillaber1195 SO TRUE

That must have been one amazing school in its day..
It was all the school was. We was always giving the best
Back then flip chairs had thick foam and arm rests, now they just put two hinges on a hard wooden plank and call it a seat.
Not even wood, plastic. And they design the hinges into the plastic mould so it's just two pieces of hard ass plastic that fold together. That's what my school had in the assembly hall.
My school was built in the 20s. We sat on the floor.
At high school? At primary school we sat on the floor for assemblies but that's pretty standard still
s8wc3 my high school didn’t have an assembly space with seats like that. If there was a large assembly, we would sit on the plastic bleachers in the gym.
Wood or steel? I havent seen a wood foldup chair for a while
I love that someone created that diamond and gave it to that space--instead of coming in and destroying like so many others... There's something so moving about that. That's why I watch you guys, you discover incredible things! Thanks for being you!
Agreed, it's always nice to see some creation in these spaces rather than the usual destruction.
@@TheProperPeople The diamond was an art installation by hygienic dress league
@Chris Schmelter I saw the LOL but the Urbex code is take nothing but pictures and leave nothing behind but foot prints.
The diamond in the rough?
Diamonds and rust...
Every time i watch these videos my mind imagines of what it was like back then. Makes me wonder what was life back then. It must have been good to have such a huge place with lots of people roaming these hallways, rooms, auditoriums, thriving with life. Many memories here at one time. Id like to see the people's comments that went here remember what was once was.
Hey I'm from Detroit/Highland park area & still live here.....Those rules written down on those papers were no joke....💯
You guys missed so much, theres a nurse's class underneath the auditorium, theres a 2nd pool underneath court yard that they never used cause of the original gym burning, theres a really sweat culinary class on the 3rd story, theres a broadcast room right by the main stairs, and the library is huge lol
Theres also a court room by one of the pools too
@johnny walker so... you let a figure head puppet take up that much space in your head rent free? Maybe you should reevaluate your life man.
johnny walker in your dreams, soy boy
Yes I did nurse class for my last year yr 12
@@rachelandersen3762 You went to highland park?
Imagine the first generations of students walking into that school and the hopes and dreams of the future in America. It had to be inspiring. They had to of felt that the world was theirs. To think that the school board and city thought so much of the students and teachers to give them such a building. It would have definitely been a time when America & Detroit were setting high standards for the rest of the world. I’m glad that you boys can see & appreciate what was. Your documentation is important. It may be all that left. Keep up the fabulous work!
If this was O.W. Holmes, I was one of those students. Not from way back, but from the 80s. It looks so familiar.
yettobseen you all do know this is a city of its own. Like Hamtramik a city to its east it had its own government and school board. Detroit had nothing to do with these cities!!!
Democrats destroy cities
Yettibseen ur intreging to me on a sexie kind of way.😍
@@sneakypete139 they don’t know because people assume everything is fucking Detroit. Highland Park is its own city.
I like the wooden lockers, the effort to hand trim the insides of all of them, in the days before nailguns, if they are original 1915. gotta appreciate the nice work.
I still remember my locker
My sister's wedding reception was held in that atrium area back in 92.
Do you have pictures from the reception?

Urbex in Detroit could be an unlimited number of episodes.
Detroit EXP has been doing that for years. You should check them out.
There’s a shit ton of cool places like this all over even up in flint
@@trefoil3000 when you see a drone shot of an abandoned building in Detroit it's pretty likely that the entire area around the building is also abandoned it's just a Detroit thing things suck so bad and there there's so many abandoned places there are many many abandoned video episodes to be made just in one city block alone
Result of Democrat control.
This seems to be the fate awaiting all those Liberal Arts colleges that push Marxism and gender studies.
There is something tragic and haunting about these videos. It gives me a bit of shivers. My darker mind comes to play. These videos are almost a glimpse into the future, for the human experience if we are not careful.
Oh definitely the future for the USA
well hold on, because we are not careful.
I can't wait less humans is good for earth.
@@user-sp2jg9rx8r so you wanna kill people that love you?
Shouts out to anybody who learned a skill there and went on to have a good career. I'm sure there are many people who did that, even if they had to leave Detroit for work.
The thing with the car on it is called a roterisory, they are really useful when restoring a car.
That's right! Been a long time. Now I just use the smaller version to cook Cornish Hens on the grill. :-)
And the car attached to it looks like some sort of 90s Cadillac...
I think the car on it is a late 80s or early 90s Olds Cutlass sedan.
We had those tp simulate rollover crash
This car was probably part of an auto show prop donated to the school. If someone researched " The Detroit Auto Show " they would probably come up with a picture.
12:28 "don't be scared of the tip Bryan" 😂😂😂 these guys always make me laugh
This was probably an amazing school at one time. So sad.
I know this was my school
It’s fascinating how much deterioration can occur in just a decade.
theredbaron057 didn’t he say it closed in 95? So two and a half decades?
Sarahlynn1304 2009
Someone said they graduated from there in 2005.
It's like what my great uncle said. "Buildings, just like humans, know when they're abandoned. They fall apart and deteriorate just like human beings."
So sad to see that once a beautiful building left to rot. The communities leaders should have worked for the good of the people of Detroit instead of themselves. Sorry for the rant. Thanks for sharing your video. Great video guys.
The problem is just a taxation, there's many countries where all economy collapsed like USSR and thousands huge former factories become empty in few days. Such empty wasted realty goes on market later as very cheap rent property even with municipal subsidy and it was fast filled with many small business owners who even restore places. Very simple, only economical politics, but taxes in Detroit still very high, it's profitable to abandon and register in other Us state than even trying sell realty here.
Stop voting for Democrats problem solved, the Democrats don't care about the good of people so sad they only care about getting elected and more money it's all about the money.
@Brion Stronghold Highly simplistic answer to a very complex situation. Detroit was stinking rich from the 20s through the 60s. Then the car industry dramatically changed via foreign competition. Part of this can be blamed on unions getting too much power and stifling innovation but only a little. More impactful was the fact that whites moved out in droves after the '67 riots. So you have people losing jobs and people leaving town. Together this means a smaller tax base. This means schools are not funded. Schools like the Highland Park school in question. But, please, tell me how your simplistic solution that doesn't attempt to actually understand the issues on the ground solves this....
vote for trump in 2020 else other democrat cities will end up like detroit
Beth Morrow isn't that every political party
Literally have been watching all day. And then I clicked on this and wondered how old it was.... “10minutes ago” haha sweet.
That's always the best
Same!
14:14 Holy crap that's weird! "It could be the wind, but it could also be a ghost." Exactly.
imagine playing a prank on these guys just walk up to them in 90's attire with backpack and ask them which way to the principle office haahaha
Lmao!!! Dude they would probably run out of the building.

"i don't feel it, is it in?" - the other guy
Love the rotisserie car and creaking door, no need to add creepy sound effects! Nice work again! Oh, no Christmas decorations! Whaaat?
@Agent Fungus yes! 👍✔
I'd put some The Cure music for creepiness, like the song "The Final Sound" in the "Seventeen Seconds" album. Especially when the PP showed the piano.
Drop ceilings were added mainly due to the need for new electrical, HVAC and network cables. When these buildings were built, there wasn't as much of a need for all the electrical that is used now. Also, drop ceilings create more efficient climate control as heat rises. I love revamped older buildings that have removed the drop ceilings, however, they do present a challenge, particularly for network cables as older buildings don't necessarily provide access into the original ceilings and walls. Drop ceilings are an easy way to hide all the cables and duct work.
On the downside, drop ceilings are also an excellent conduit for the spread of fire.
*It is located in Highland Park* Wow! my mom went to school here and they use to have headstart classes, I attended. I remember my mom took me to class with her, she was taking her finals, and I wrote all her answers on the chalkboard 😂😂😂😂😂 I later went to a grade school named Cortland right down the street from HPCC, it is also abandoned now 🙁
Omg that's amazing. I hope your mom and you aren't too sad about the school being abandoned

@Bill Williams some people did not use what was taught at the advantage, there is alot of smart people who made it and you would never even know they came from Highland Park unless they tell you
Absolute favorite youtube page. Keep it up boys.
23:10 This is a car rotisserie. These are great when you doing a full body restoration as you can more easily paint the underside of the car and perform any necessary metal repairs.
Loved the video! Born and raised and worked in Detroit. Always loved the beautiful old buildings. Moved out to AZ in 99. Phoenix just doesn't have the rich history or beautiful buildings Detroit has. It's sad to see how Detroit had fallen over the years.
When Coleman Young became Mayor is when I noticed how bad Detroit started to deteriorate.
Parts are coming back to life but it just isn't the same and never will be.
Never clicked on a video so fast lol! I’m excited for this! You guys are awesome ❤️❤️
Every time I watch an urbex video, I always wonder what it would be like if you went to that school and then saw it as it is now. It must be super surreal.
Amazing video as always. I may not do urbex myself but as a subscriber since your abandoned Six Flags video, I feel like I've been on so many adventures with y'all. ❤️
Imagine being the person that made the diamond. I was totally hoping they had seen this and left a comment >
I went to a US military middle and high school in Germany and it’s abandoned now and it’s certainly so weird to see pictures of it deteriorating, it’s almost an eerie feeling, like all of my memories of happy smiles and friends are now just all ghosts in my memory. I went to Heidelberg middle/high in case you want to look it up.
Wow the lights on that diamond figure would've looked amazing.
Such a sad, eerie place, and those banging doors really added to that. Dang...
Welcome to Detroit, fellas. If you guys just move here, you could create years of urbex content.
I don't think the shitstory and pseudo-hell they'd move themselves into is worth ANY large amount of urbex sites.
@@EphemeralProductions the city is mostly empty and pretty fun these days, everyone left, especially criminals since there was nothing left to steal. There's some thugs left, but there's plenty of places worse than the D these days

true
I really like how you narrate the history of the structures use visit.
I worked there for 3 years, when it was the career academy... I worked for headstart which had leased section of that building
22:00 in - "Quick Lane" is a Ford Dealer thing- Ford must have supported their auto shop class.
I just want to thank you for all these years of giving us awesome videos. I started watching you guys when I was like 15, I'm 23 now and you're the only channel I've kep watching for that long and I have not missed a single upload since I became a subscriber.

Can you explore the abandoned Mason Elementry School?
It was a middle and elementary school all in one place.
Edit:
Thanks for the likes, I'd use to go there when I was a kid.
I went to Mason, I used to live on Gallagher between Lantz and Outer drive. O only went there in the 5th grade then I went back to Highland Park schools.
In the auto shop, it's a Rotisserie. We use them to do all sorts of things, if you need to media blast the vehicle, paint the under body, weld panels in, pretty much anything. It won't mess with the frame if it's mounted right.
I live in Los Angeles CA now. This is really heart breaking, I was born in Detroit, and it never looked like this. I have the most beautiful memories of Detroit , when downtown Detroit had Hudson, Woolworth, Crowley's. I remember my mom would take me downtown to shop with her. Also, the school were everywhere. This is sad. Those fun times on Belle Isle.
Yeah! Its gentrified now. Downtown is a total transformation because of Dan Gilbert ( owner of quicken loans). Belle Isle is owned by the state now ( certain parts are taped off because its flooding) most of the school buildings is closed & deteriorated. Alot of white flight moved back in from the suburbs & the property values have went up extremely. Just type in your old zip code on zillow or google maps. Some residential areas are about the same or worse & some have improved. They are forcing the poor residents out who been living there for years. Its kinda sad yet somewhat good because you see improvement
Another absolutely stunning documentary! The balance of history, current state and live commentary brings your video footage to life! Always look forward to your next episode!
this video, like no other, made me feel like you were exploring a place in the post-apocalypse. haunting, beautiful and scary at the same time.
your camera-work, narration, editing and pacing were absolutely stunning. this might be one of my favorite videos of yours (and there are many great ones).
you keep getting better and better. hats off to you and I really appreciate your work and effort that you put into your videos.
What an amazing space. My high school was not even close to that. Whom ever had that space was blessed.
That freaking door took the chills out of me 😰!!
It's always windy in MI. Unless it's a hot summer night.
Didn’t notice that much in my entire summer in Northern Michigan 26y ago.
Detroit has so many great buildings like this that lay abandoned, I really hope they can be fixed up and reopened rather than eventually demolished
I can't get enough of what you guys share with all of us. My 9 year old is also becoming a huge fan and loves seeing the old structures, too.
Excellent video (No geese today-- my bravery went away!) I think there is probably a lot of exposed amphibole and serpentine asbestos in the industrial buildings i have watched you explore in Detroit- it's inherent in very many structures, and somewhat of a worry where the interior has been smashed up. I think at the very least i would want overshoes that could be discarded or bagged then washed afterwards; you don't want to be carrying material out on your feet and into your car- where the fan then blows it up into the cabin. Keep exploring, you have brains which seems to be keeping you safe thus far!
Every time I see a video about detroit it's hard to believe a once beatuful city collapsed to what it is today
It was in Highland Park..a whole different city from Detroit. It just happens to sit in the middle of Detroit. It's sad either way. I'm a Detroiter so I know.

I work at a community college. To see this entire campus in total deprivation is unbelievable. It is symbolic of an archeological dig.
That robotic arm might be an ASEA IRB. When was the school started and abandoned? As this robotic arm was made in 1975.
The ASEA IRB is an industrial robot series for material handling, packing, transportation, polishing, welding, and grading. Built in 1975, the robot allowed movement in 5 axes with a lift capacity of 6 kg. It was the world's first fully electrically driven and microprocessor-controlled robot, using Intel's first chipset.
The ASEA IRB was constructed by Björn Weichbrodt, Ove Kullborg, Bengt Nilsson and Herbert Kaufmann and was manufactured by ASEA in Sweden/Västerås. The first model, IRB 6, was developed in 1972-1973 on assignment by the ASEA CEO Curt Nicolin and was shown for the first time at the end of August 1973. The example shown in the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology is the first robot that was sold. It was bought by Magnussons in Genarp to wax and polish stainless steel tubes bent at 90° angles. This robot was donated to the museum during ASEA's 100-year anniversary in 1983.
The IRB 6 sold 1900 copies during the next 17 years (1975-1992). It became the Swedish symbol for a new Labour market, shared between man and robot.[1]
The following part is the story of how the development of ASEA's industrial robot began, a project that resulted in the ASEA IRB became a school for virtually all industrial robots that were developed in the coming decades.
The seed of this industrial success came at the end of 1969 after Curt Nicolin, during a trip to the United States where he met Joe Engelberger who was a part-owner and led the main and leading manufacturer of industrial robots at that time, then hydraulically driven with simple point-to-point control systems. Curt Nicolin certainly thought that this could be something for ASEA to be interested in and then commissioned Wilmos Török ("Special Projects" Department) to initiate a preliminary study and the assignment was directly continued to Curt Hansson. As of an event, the time coincided with Intel's development of its first 4004 processors. To succeed in persuading Intel already in the beginning of 1971 to get a (one) chip from their preproduction, apart from the distinctive and unique mechanical design, has been the prerequisite for ASEA's IRB to form a school in this industry. The fact that ASEA was to create a single point to point robot was certainly not so interesting, so the connection to Intel and advanced control systems was the triggering factor for the project to get air under the wings. As a curiosity, it is mentioned that the processor was programmed using a machine-written manual with handwritten corrections and the long-awaited chip could be inserted into its circuit board, as expected for months on its processor chip.
Curt Hansson was responsible for the project until Aug 1976, except for a short period in which Björn Weichbrodt had the IRB-project management. In 1976, a series of IRB 60 was also prepared and ready for delivery, and a number of IRB 6 had already been delivered during the years before. The direct management of IRB operations was then taken over by Björn Weichbrodt that from there on he did turn it into the business success it obviously is today.
Tony O'Donnell no attempt was state. Peeeping it just. .keeping
Sac bad out..

I live in Västerås, Sweden, where this ASEA (now ABB) robot is manufactured. If it's made in 1975 it's the same age as myself 😀.
I bet that was actually probably a fun and funny welding teacher. Pretty sure all the add ins on the rules are his attempts at humor.. at least I think
At least I hope
As a former welding instructor, I can assure you that those rules were legit. Many of my students were ex-cons, or guys from the wrong side of the tracks, if you know what I mean.
Assumption that it’s a Photography students’ project probably called: “Diamond in the Rough”

The "Car Flipping Machine" is called a rotisserie. They're normally used in body shops so painters can get to certain spots of the vehicle while it's stripped for painting. It looks like this one was setup as a display unit to show students the inner workings of the door panels and what-not. :)
Why when I saw the piano in the auditorium I wanted to bust out singing the song from “Lean On Me” 😆😆😆
It would be hard for me not to take souvenirs from some of these places. Love the work
No one said you cant just cause one does not do something doesnt mean another cant take the leed. I would take whatever i wanted who the hell cares.
A nice "souvenir" in the form of a large orange robotic arm :-)
Honestly id be tempted to at least collect all those old textbooks to donate them. Seems exceptionally wasteful. :(

I feel like that was done by a photographer for a bands album cover or something.
"These days it's minimalistic with no attention paid to design" agreed !
Its so sad to see such beauty just rot away like this :'(
You should look up some of the stuff In the upper peninsula abandon coppermines and towns a prison
Wow! My mom was Dean of Nursing when it was Highland Park Community College, and my aunt was a teacher there too. I remember running around the place as a kid, and I can kinda still remember the way it used to look in your shots. This was interesting but also really sad.
It always shocks me just how much stuff is left behind in these buildings. Thank you for the look into history here!! Great video 💜
It's not a look into history. It is a look into the future. Soon the entire US coast to coast is going to look like this.
Love your work! Narration and editing is awesome
The room with the fire didn’t happen too long ago. When I went in there was still school work from students that attended. This was actually a dangerous place to go to. Many times I was ran out of there by squatters
Wait they was a fire
This what I have subbed for, the content and the editing is definitely in another level of greatness.
Detroit has for sure tons of locations to explore, would love to see more of it.
It is sad that so much equipment, etc. was left. I remember in St. Louis Missouri when CBC (Christian Brothers College - a high school actually) was bought by Concordia Seminary. It was left as if the people were returning on a Monday after a long week-end. When the campus moved, they just left stuff - records, textbooks, chairs, filing cabinets (full), desks, equipment. I suppose it was too expensive to move all of the things out of the abandoned building. So many inner-city schools could have used the equipment left. This is truly the state of the mentality in America: we can just leave it and buy new things. There are places in the world where the citizens would kill for such treasures left behind.
I'm so glad you guys are still making videos 😀
Thank you for always researching where you are exploring. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the amazing work guys!
When energy costs skyrocketed in the 70’s and there was a ‘save electricity’ movement, drop ceilings were installed EVERYWHERE and I remember stickers being put on all the light switch plates in my school with admonishment to turn out the lights when you leave the room.
Thank you guys so so much for all your work. Especially the information. What I would give to go back and see what everything looked like when it was new. Those built in the wall lockers were amazing. I got chills with the drama department banners left up. Just an incredible find. Thank you for taking us along.
You guys make the best exploring vids out there 💕👍
just imagine how many people have memories of this place!
those theater chairs have a kind of art deco design on those arms,,,actually really collectible
Yeah I did year 12 Art Deco design and in year 11 I did visual arts
Oh man, the lights near the star, the robotic arm, and the spinning car are for me are the main stand out points in this video. As an Australian, I can say that we do not have anything like this here. Even if we do, not on the same level seen here. I for one would love to visit Detroit and explore. Heck maybe do a series of videos for my channel if I do.
Love the Detroit series. Living in Michigan, you guys do a great job! Keep the episodes coming. Excited to see more.
That algebra textbook took me back too! I know I had the exact same one. This was really interesting, one of my fave channels to watch!
I never did algebra but my BFF did it in year 11 and 12 I lost him last year due to cancer he had it since 10 years old he was only 21 in uni
I just wanna go through all the books and records in that data processing room 👀 see what neat information is stored in this timecapsule building
This was a fantastic tour! I am really enjoying your Detroit series.
17:50 I think they used asbestos to insulate the casts to make them cool slowly, so they were less likely to crack during cooling.
I was just wondering when the new video would be up. Happy days!
You guys have come along way! Love it
So excited to see a new video!! I look every week. I loved this one, had me laughing, smiling and I throughly enjoyed the history. Keep them coming guys!
I love you guys keep up your videos. They're so peaceful and fun to watch. Also first
The car looks like an early-late 90s Oldsmobile Cutlass. Probably a former test mule, and being Detroit no doubt it's an American vehicle.
That was my year 11 nail tech teacher Linda anderson car she was 75 she died maybe the year I graduated or the day after I graduated at the age of 89 from cancer she had it apparently since 48
Fascinating and so well-made. That common area of the college looks stunning.
I’m loving the direction of your abandon videos. We get a series of different places in one city. Wonder what city will be next?!! Keep up the great work guys!!☺️
