Former Browns Resort - Abandoned - EVERYTHING Left Behind
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 08. 2018
- This video shows us the remains of a location that had two lives. The first, was a very popular resort that operated through the 1900s. After closing as a resort, it took on a new life and became a place that people could call home. Offering condominiums and apartments, residents could make this a vacation sport or year round residence. Sadly, the buildings were not kept up and were in violation of numerous safety hazards. It eventually caught up to the owners and a fire broke out destroying all but 3 buildings. Filming this location was nothing short of eerie. All of the families possessions were left behind and frozen in time. Its apparent that thieves made their way through it and ransacked most of it, but we did find some unique rooms and pieces of furniture left behind. Enjoy
Please Note: Exploring Abandoned locations can be dangerous. I don't condone or encourage anyone to enter an Abandoned structure. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal and when possible, i seek out permission. I simply go to document its history before it's gone and leave things the way I find them. I assume all the risks & responsibility in doing so. Please don't attempt to do this on your own.

I'm glad you don't disclose locations. Some scumbags would destroy that in a hot minute. I despise vandals.
Adam T. Or steal everything
Although I do agree with you about dumb ass vandals, it would be nice to explore that place just like they did. Seems like the vandals already did their work.
I ÷#@%/>& hate vandals they need to destroy their own sorry asses im sorry some people are gonna hate me for this but no way i would leave it like that i would sure enough take my broom
I know where that is, I'm from that area
this place would be easy to find if ya really wanted too...it was all over the papers...its a wonder anything is left...
I am impressed that you found old footage of the resort. It really enriched the explore . The video is beautifully done but sad too. The owner did the right thing in repurposing the resort but tragic that safety code violations led to a fire and no insurance payments . I guess because of safety reasons people weren't allowed to retrieve their belongings... that is too bad .Hope no one was killed in the fire. Thank you for sharing this awesome find.
Barbara - Pigeon Bray I agree. The extra effort to do the research enriches these vids 👍
I found this online and no one was killed.
Thank you for letting us know... so glad no one was killed .
Nobody was killed in the fire thank gid

I lived there for 3 years after I sold my business. sold our unit and moved to florida. it was a wonderful place with very friendly people. it was a shame it burned a lot of people were put out on the street because Grandview held a lot of people. jerry lewis and dean martin played there. Thank you for making this it brought back a lot of memories
This video was eerie~families losing their homes is never easy! Thanks for the tour and never releasing locations! You always do these with grace! TY
You just made my Friday night with this video. Is it lame that I'd rather stay in, order takeout and watch your abandoned series vids than go out 😆 Awesome job!
Not lame. Just hope you ordered something good.
It's my favorite thing to do as well! 😘
Me too ,nice videos
That's me too! Nothing wrong with it at all. 😃
Me also, this is my Friday night. Good videos.
As a young teen I was able to explore a local hotel that was abandoned. I went all by myself. I didnt destroy or steal. Such an experience. Looking back, 50 years later, I feel clean that I caused no damage and didnt take anything. I knew someone would come along and do all that. But I wasnt going to.
People have definitely been here before us and took anything small that was valuable.
Do u know if the building is still there?
@@JPVideos81 I've just discovered your videos and I've subscribed to your channel! Thank you for keeping me interested long enough to continue watching this l-o-n-g video(lol)!
Just a few comments: It appears as though the paint on the doors,door casings,walls,etc., had begun peeling off from heat from the fire!?? It must have been terrifying to grab what they could and get the heck out as quickly as possible! I'm guessing it was *illegal* to go back inside to try to get more of their possessions if the fire marshal deemed it "too dangerous"...? Aren't you (or anyone,else,really) just a little interested in who that "expensively furnished" condo belonged to? I am..lol. Surely there must have been at least one *Hollywood star* or wealthy musician who stayed or vacationed there!? ^_^ :-D
Because you knew right from wrong?
WOW HIGH END FURNITURE.... Beautiful Couches 26:52!!!NICE FIND!!!!👌
Great video, as usual. Plumbers crack camo shirt had me DYING! 🤣😂🤣😂
I had to pause the video to figure out the shirt. At first I assumed it was a concert t-shirt but plumbers crack camouflage was CLASSIC!!!!
I've seen him with that shirt on before! I love it! Made me laugh! 😊
I agree with you totally about vandalism, and it makes me sick to see what some people do to property that doesn't belong to them. I have never been able to understand why. Some of the suites that you showed were even now beautiful and the furnishings really impressive. I feel so bad for the people who were effected by this tragedy. It is so truly sad.
i could not agree more - even when i was a kid and gone to places like this - i never did anything to upset the environment or damage any part of the building i was in // the Punks now will just make a shambles of everything just to get their kicks - how would they like it if it was done to their current living place -- and its all about RESPECT when it does not belong to you
What a find! Those condos re unbelievable with the beautiful furniture. And the lighting in the lounge are was incredible that it still is one piece or even still there! Thank you again for bringing us along for another adventure!
So strange that as u walk down the hallways the paint and wallpaper is peeling but the paintings hanging there look perfect..
Nice touch with the phone lol. Mike's shirt priceless!!!
I just realized where this is. My husband and I used to drive by it going to his Dr's. We always wondered what it was & wanted to investigate but never did. Now I'm bummed we didn't. Thanks for showing this because I always wondered about what it was.
This was so sad and fascinating at the same time. Thank you for sharing!
Great video...such a shame they had to leave everything though...thanks for taking us along...keep exploring and stay safe!
This was a great find one of the best I've seen from you!! Thanks!!
Absolutely beautiful living room set and dining room. WOW!!! It is amazing what you can do with a small space to give the luxury look. Love the black bar and mirrors. It is very sad that it all is going to be ruined especilly the furniture in the last two upscale apartments you showed. Awesome find guys.
Excellent video, and entertaining watch. I love these tours, and I like the longer videos like this one. Big thumbs up here. 👍
Sometimes the longer ones seem to bore people but im glad you enjoyed it.
I like the longer ones as well
@@JPVideos81 This one was a fast 50 minutes.
.interesting to see., the aftermath of the fire stephen
And I do like the longer the video the longer the better Stephen.
I love that you put the before and after photo of the lounge! Another great video!
A mixture of sadness as to all of those possessions that people just had to leave and there is something spooky that makes you feel that someone could just walk across one of those rooms at any moment. Oh, at 19 mins 26 seconds - that broken doll on the bed is disturbing on many levels.
That video was so cool. I want some of that furniture. Love the way you pronounced courvoisier, made me smile. The pool was awesome. The lounge was awesome. This video is amazing. You never cease to please with the places you explore. Thank you.
Thanks so much tamara
Makes me sick- so much stuff could b salvaged- Such waste
same here,theives our bad
Agreed. I wonder who the legal ownership of all that stuff falls to. The original owners? Property owners? Local or state government? In any case, it should not be left there to rot. Those beautiful tables and chairs, all the appliances, and that copy of Robo-Fox deserve better.
@@Duncan_Idaho_Potato I totally agree. You have no idea how long I've been looking for furniture like this and if I want it I have to have it custom built The owners need to at least have an auction.
Homeowners/Renters insurance probably replaced most of it,thus making it the property of whomever owns the lot now. That might even be the company that paid out on the insurance to the individual people in each unit.
This is the danger of a Condo Board. The residents owned their each individual units, but the property and structures themselves were owned by a Condo Board. For those of you not familiar with how that works, it's sort of like "buying" a space inside a shopping mall. The residents were not allowed to retrieve their belongings, or even receive an insurance payout, as of a couple years ago anyhow. The property was insured, but immediately after the fire, the insurance company sued the Condo Board, because ironically, there had been fire code violations ("supposedly" fixed just a month prior to the fire,) and the Board covered it up and hid that information from the insurer. This led to a situation of insurance fraud. Due to the lawsuit, the Court forbid anyone from going back onto the property to retrieve their belongings, even though none of this was their fault. Their only course of action was to sue the Condo Board, who are just in reality a handful of people. Last I heard, nobody ever retrieved their property OR got paid for the damages.
Hi Jay, A real shame seeing peoples lives destroyed like that, it must have been very scary and heartbreaking for them. I loved that leather furniture too and that dining table a chairs was beautiful. Thank you for another brilliant well made and narrated video. x
Very well done! I have to say this has to be the video I have enjoyed most that you have filmed. You supplied the past and present on this one and drone footage at the end ( which i have to say was great as you can see how large the property was) and it was just a very interesting video. It is very eerie to see the possessions of the past residences left behind but also I reminder that you should enjoy and cherish every moment you have because you just never know when something tragic can happen and you lose everything. As far as some of that furniture goes "HOLY CRAP" that was some beautiful stuff!!!!!!
This was a great location. The items told a story, yet the location as a whole told another one. Very sad but interesting. Glad you enjoyed it.
I could tell the people never got a chance to come back for their belongings. Beautiful furniture , personal effects and memories all left behind.😩
The drone footage and still picture montage at the end was great and the choice of music was excellent. You clearly have a good eye for that sort of thing. This is not the first video of yours that I've noticed that.
Thanks so much
Another great video! Keep exploring and I will watch them all. Thanks JP.
I've checked out several videos like yours. Yours are by far superior. I thought the phone ringing was for real, you got me on that. I gave up TV now I'm hooked on your videos. Subscribing now and going on binge watching. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for sharing this and the history to . it's a wonderful video.
This was the resort used in Dirty Dancing... Some of the rooms are still fully furnished and beautiful!! I've seen other videos on this place.
The resort that was used for dirty dancing was in North Carolina I believe. The movie was not shot in the county where this hotel in this video was.
jack Macer I live in NC it was here where the resort was used.
the grossingers was it was in liberty not browns was told this by the actual dance instructor who is the reason behind dirty dancing
grossingers liberty ny
jack Macer no that was Kellerman’s resort- but still in the Catskills ;)
I have just started watching these videos, and am enjoying them so much. So many places and things I would never normally see. Like how you mix in this one the news real video of the fire. When you edit maybe keep adding any history you find to it. Also really like how you promote no tags and no damage. For an aussie this is just so different to our history and what we can see. Great job.
Thanks for checking it out
Clearly you are both very honest and trustworthy men who don’t take advantage, disrupt or steal anything. I enjoy watching your videos and appreciate not only the speed at which you go through the buildings but also the respect that you give to the previous owners. Great work gentlemen 👍👍
Thank you!
Enjoyed the video , this place must been grand in the day !!!!
This was such a great trip. Some killer locations! That large apartment with all that nice furniture... such a great find.
This is some of the stuff you have to look forward to our the next trip.
I'm stoked for that trip. It will be my last one for a long time.
Love the chair and matching love seat ,so so beautifull!🙉🥰
Wish i had that set in my home! Tks ,fr thows showing.
JPVIDEOS are THE best! I’ve been fascinated with abandoned buildings since I was a kid, wondering what stories the walls could tell if they could speak. I haven’t seen this video yet, but if you like this one, you’ll love JP’s NEVELE Resort documentaries, also with footage in its grandeur. Classy, eerie, in awe of simpler times, great music....you’re the best! I love your narratives also. And I never want them to end....I don’t think they’re too long. Our son has a home in nearby Boiceville, and we’re familiar with the Ellenville exit on the way from NYC. I’ve got him fascinated with your Catskills videos; we see several abandoned places along 28 between 87 & Margaretville & wonder what their stories are from grander days. Keep up the great work, gentlemen. Your videos are my fix for relaxation, nostalgia and warm fuzzies, tho as many have said, ‘why did they leave everything????’ Blessings to you for sharing this history.
Thanks so much donna
What a great explore...and Mike I absolutely love the "plumber's crack camouflage" t-shirt....looooooolz!!
Great video, as you have said there was a fire and people have to leave, but I would of through to come back and get the rest of there stuff, very strange. Love apwatch the video ❤️ 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Top quality content and presentation as always. Your vids hit the mark every time. Thank You !
Aww thank you
Another wonderful job you did on this video. So sad to see that many left so much. The two suites with the beautiful furniture... Wish those pieces could be salvaged.
It. Can be it's been abandoned by the rightful owners so anyone can go it and take it.
I hope some of the people who lived there see this video and know that if they go there they could reclaim some of their prized possessions. As long as they’re careful! 😉
I would have taken that furniture in a heartbeat. It is going to waist and the owner abandoned them. Yes, I am justifying. Those pieces are amazing.
Nothing wrong with that, I would take something too. It's been sitting there for so many years, obviously nobody is coming back for it. Why let perfectly usable things go to waste?
I'm so pleased to hear you say that it's up for sale. That was 11 months ago. Have you heard if it's ever been sold ? Fantastic place just so sad. A huge hit in its hey day. Thanks for the tour JP ☺☺❤
I will have to check and see what the status is.
It makes my heart so happy to see that Y’all go through all of these places and respect the items left along with the home itself. 🙌🏻
😊
Really! And that appartement with that nice furniture.👍🏼
What a mess; what a shame! It's very sad. Some of the apartments were very nice, you can tell, but now it looks like something from the series "Life After People". Creepy!
So sad that so many families displaced and loosing everything! I do love the after photos of you and Mike! Those are awesome! The drone shots are cool too! Thanks for sharing! 👍 As always!
😊
Something I do appreciate about your videos .....your camera work is spot on, nice and steady easy going and doesn't make me dizzy. Thank you for giving us quality to enjoy.
You're welcome
Wow guys , this place is crazy / creepy cant get over all those peoples stuff just left there , sad , very cool explore , enjoyed it.
It was creepier walking through all of it.
that i can believe !!! l.o.l.
JP, I had a thought when you said you were surprised those booths are still there at about the fifteen:thirty time mark. Someone should check those booths for lost cons, as well as under the vehicle seats. They might be surprised. : )
At 31:28 you referred to a chair, as interesting. I'm thinking the word you were looking for was Opulent.
If I was a scrapper I would .... do a rough estimate on contents and find out if it's feasible to pay salvage fees, maybe with a partner or so and salvage the heck out of that place legally .... Make some connections for selling, retrieve the best/most valuable items first, get a crew together to help load and move the items in a timely manner. In my mind that would be a responsible way to handle it, for the sake of our earth and perhaps give people a chance to acquire furniture and or other items that they wouldn't otherwise have access to. The Astounding amount of wastefulness in this country is Deplorable. Reselling and recycling is a good way to Reduce the Waste, don't ya think?
Excellent! I really like your abandoned places videos above the others. You do a thorough job and give background information on on the sites.
Thanks mary
Awesome video really enjoyed watching that some cool stuff that was left. Too bad that someone couldn't go in and salvage some of the stuff that can be reused. Keep em coming.
I 1000% agree with you on the disclosing locations...it pisses me off to see vandalism that has occurred in beautiful places...like that China cabinet...why why why...what was the whole purpose of breaking it up? Keep it secret don't give in on the locations..I agree with the you can't trust what some people say....this was an awesome video...it's sad to see so many lives were displaced though....
No reason as all for it to be destroyed. Just some immature people who don't appreciate things.
Simple google search told me exactly where Brown's hotel is and second because he doesn't say where it is won't prevent vandals from finding it on there own. I doubt vandals are sitting on YT looking for locations to destroy.
Awesome video JR.keep up the great work!!
Yeah,lots of black mold in there better get your mask ready :)
Hi JP. Thank you for for leaving the notes up a little longer 🦋🦋🦋
You're welcome
You make the best videos. I watch a lot of videos like this but you guys do the best. Keep up the great work!!
That ABC All My Children directors chair at 8:30 mark.
Good eye~ pretty neat!
I would have absolutely taken those furniture pieces, they're basically sitting there collecting dust. They have no owner, and cost well over $5000. It's a shame to let them go to waste
That would be stealing. The property and everything in it belongs to the bank probably.
@@misslottieish The bank doesn't keep them, they throw them out
Just found this site on satelite pictures. What a beautiful location. Amazingly, even the black car is still visible on the images (and I believe it is the same car seen in the footage of the fire fighters).
Great video Jay!!! I enjoyed it very much 😊 That was some beautiful furniture in the suites!!! Very nice pool!!! The lounge looked like it would have been beautiful back in the day!!! Your drone footage was outstanding!!! Thank you for sharing 💙😊
This was a very memorable place. Glad you enjoyed it.
So sad , but great video, those ppl probably had some sort of insurance coverage on there belonging, I was waiting on someone too come out from one or in one ,sure think some homeless people know about this place, at least they have some very nice things to sit on are have a bed too sleep on . The phone ringing was funny as shit . Till the nexted adventure, be safe thanks for sharing. 😊❤
I liked the phone part myself. Have to have some fun sometimes.
Both insurance company refused to pay for damages, that’s sad 😔
Mayylove what’s sad is a condo board that was derelict in its duty to maintain the various fire systems in use. Insurance companies said they were misled about present and working systems. The demo and cleanup costs are well beyond the property’s worth, so owners lost everything.
Mayylove code violations are required to be addressed and cleared for insurance companies to pay. It’s sad I know but it cuts down on insurance fraud. As for the condo residence their property is covered in the unit they own from the walls in. Renters should have renters insurance to cover their possessions. Most policies have coverage for temporary relocation cost.
But no matter what it’s still terribly sad. The children that had to be rushed from their homes without their favorite toy. How would they understand that. Or a person who’s family that lives a long distance away or no longer living, photos are great reminders. Insurance money or the great people at The Red Cross could never replace that.
I was an insurance underwriter, it was a small company with 23 employees so we did it all. Somedays were so sad half of us would be crying. All insurance companies aren’t bad there are just rules written in the policies that must be followed.
I hope the residents have found peace and moved on with their lives.
Great video guys 🙂
Why would you expect any different. That's what those scumbags do. Take your money then when it's time for them to pay up they spend 3x what they owe on scumbag lawyers to keep from paying out.
@@majortwit Funny how they didn't claim fraud while collecting premium payments every month. But time for the scum to pay out on the policy and all of a sudden they were "mislead and lied" to. That's something that should've been looked into before issuing coverage.
I haven't been watching your videos for long maybe a month so I'm trying to play catch up. I've been watching your videos one after another. I love and enjoy all of the ones I've seen so far. It's a rare experience you give to all of us who watch. So thank you I hope you read this even though I'm a little late with the comments.
I read it
Thank you so much for exploring these abandoned buildings!!! I would love to see every single space in them but I am afraid of critters. I would never get to see them without you. And you show us everything!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Thanks gianna. Glad you enjoy my videos.
I love your videos because I don’t travel much myself thank you I enjoy watching!
This was a Cool place, Again, to see! I saw it when RnK All Day filmed it a while back!! So Sad so many people lost So Much! The furniture and decor in some of the apts was fantastic!! I don't understand why the owners weren't awarded their Insurance claims! Did the companies feel like there was maybe Arson involved?!?
Even though I was thoroughly enjoying rnk's explore, I had to quit when they were about to show a possible dead pet that was left behind. It was one of those days that I couldn't handle seeing it. Maybe I'll go back & finish watching it.
The owners got the insurance after they got the violation codes so the insurance company won't pay out.
I love Rnk but I must say this is much more thorough than when they were here. Great job. Made me sad tho.
Another awesome video! This was an interesting, although tragic story. Everyone has commented on some of the beautiful furniture that was left behind, it totally boggles my mind that no-one has taken it yet, not that I think anyone should or anything, its just surprizing its still there.
I love seeing all the videos. You are very respectful to the people who once was there
Such a shame really. That white leather living room suit was gorgeous. And definitely a pretty penny, and then you sit back n wonder why it was left behind? Could they not actually take furniture due to the fire? Was it almost like a one day get out what you can kind of thing? So many questions ran through my head. But on another note, I love the bloopers at the end. Keep that up gives us a good laugh. Mikes beautifully manicured toes! Haha
My feeling is they had one day to get what they can. The upper floors are hard because of no working elevators its almost impossible to get the furniture out. Esp if its elderly residents.
I saw another explore video of this place & I believe that it was said that they weren't allowed back to get their belongings? I know that even pets were left behind. When they came across a dead pet, there was a warning beforehand, & even though I was enjoying the explore SO MUCH, I couldn't watch anymore.
When the fire started they evacuated and were not allowed back in that building. The other tenants for the other buildings were allowed back to get there stuff.
I would love to take a day or two and go through every single room I think that would be so cool enjoyed your video.
Probably lots of hidden gems in there.
at least the rooms that are not all blocked up with poor floors and the ceiling debris makings its own unsafe rocky mountains / but yes that would be one great video to fully see in hole or in parts // still shows some part of History that we never knew about or only heard of
Cool find! That fancy furniture was amazing. Really sad about all the belongings left behind.
OMG!!! That is beautiful furniture. Thank you so much for the video it was so amazing to watch.📹😊
You're welcome
GORGEOUS....STUNNING furniture.... very chic... so so sad folks have to leave their belongings behind, especially special family treasures, like photos, trophys, etc.... I know they are just "things" but that's apart of someone's past....
I feel the same. Was very sad seeing it all.
Good morning to you hope your day is great and your weekend even better. THANKS YOU for taking me along. I pick up weird vibes off that place. Love the daybed, I used to wonder what would make a person up and leave all their belongings. Well I KNOW cz it happened to me years back, it's just materialism anyway it's all temporary. My heart is in GLORY my GOD is the REAL TREASURE HE stands @ the finish line. Yet another great explore be safe in your travels GOD bless you peace. 🤓
Love your videos Jay and Mike. Those 2 apt with all that beautiful stuff was kind of sad. I guess they couldn't find anyone to hall that stuff down the steps since the elevators no longer worked
Great video!! Such great things dressers and beautiful couches !!!
They need go to good homes there only wasting away there so sad !!! 👌🏼👌🏼great job
There was a calendar at 4:27 that showed March 2012, the fire started around 6 P.M. April 14, 2012
There's a video on here that shows the beginning of the fire, that black car is sitting in the same spot.. untouched.. idk, I thought it was kinda cool🤔
Hi. I really enjoyed your video. First time I watched you guys. You are very good story tellers and care about the people! Awesome job!!! Christina from Edmonton Alberta,Canada
Every time I think I have seen my favorite video, you bring another that astounds me even more. This was an incredible find that I will have to watch through a second time in order to catch all there was to be seen. Have you ever had someone message to say that you recorded footage of their abandoned home or business?
Only people who have worked at businesses.
I've never heard "fall out bed." But then I'm old.
I knew it as a "Murphy Bed."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy_bed
BTW, when Mike said that was the same I.D. badge, did he mean with the same name on it? Even if it was just another teacher's I.D. it's quite a coincidence.
I called it a fall out bed. I didnt know the proper name. It was the same exact id badge.
@@JPVideos81 it's a Murphy Bed and the name of the dresser you were looking for was an "Armorie" I believe. Great video! Thank you for sharing. My husband and I drove by that once a month for over a year when we would visit his neurologist. We always wondered what it was & wanted to check it out but never did. Thank you for the video because I've always wondered.
Just found your video and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! 👍
Dang that was a Blaze - looks like it took alot from the actual size of the buildings in that area that was a Blazing // feel sorry for the other residence as now they have to relocate as i am sure the Fire Department said the remainder of the buildings are unsafe // it did look like a temporary lighting was put in on the halls with the drop lights // and after 6 years look at all the Mold - lots of old cool furniture to bad it looks like the remains of Chernobyl just from a fire ( and vandals making it worse ) to bad these places do not get respect in their dying days from ignorant people - they just want to destroy the things they could have had at one time or another // thanks for the tour and some of the actual clips of the fire with tid bits of information
Thank you so much for sharing your videos. I love yours more than the others. Keep up the good work and be safe.
Thank you
Excellent vid - as usual. Just wanted to comment on your vid and camera quality. So much more enjoyable to watch cinema grade vids instead of pixelated live stream that some are doing now. Cudos to you 👍👍👍
Another quick question. All the furniture that has been untouched by the fire they look beautiful why are they still in the building? Whoever owns the property I would’ve thought would take the things that are salvageable out of the building very strange.
None of the people were allowed back in to get anything! These things may be ruined anyways due to smoke damage!?!
Jack I never thought of that - you are right .
And since the building was built in 1920 there is probably asbestos so it would dangerous for anyone to be in there without a mask.
I'll tell you exactly why..many ppl I know lived there and the ppl who were paying off their condos had to have insurance...there was an issue between the insurance on the building and insurance on the apts...ppl got screwed left n right and never received a penny and we're not aloud back on the premises to retreive personal effects...also ppl hitrd a law firm...I won't say which one and something happened with the firm hired to represent the condo owners and he made off with their money somehow...it was a big scandal and I beive is still going on...I'm not sure of all of the specifics but it was alot of loss of money
@@lisakazmarick1802 I almost bought this place in 97 or so. I used to go as a kid to browns. So glad I didn't. Did the owners collect from their own insurance? So freaking sad I almost cried. Drove by recently, it looks pathetic.
It's like a scene out of a end of the world or zombie apocalypse movie. Kinda creepy.
This is one of your best. Fascinating. I love the outtakes and the drone flyover video at the end.
Thanks P J
This a great video. When I saw this a few months ago peeked my interest in abandoned buildings. I've been watching You Tube videos about abandoned locations, daily, ever since. Thank you.
You're welcome jodi
I definitely love the narrative, but I sure hope you guys wear masks when just walking, between comments. There is mold everywhere. :( Great video!
The condo community has a facebook page you should send them the link so they can see the current state of the property! I hear they will not be receiving the insurance payout. So sad!
facebook.com/Grandview-Palace-NY-420976444596356/
Very interesting yet sad story. The fb page has a lot about the legal case. It continued 2018. Doesn’t look like they are going to be compensated by the insurance. The links to these videos are posted by people on the site so the location is def not a secret.
@Michelle Kendall Says browns resort, it was once a landmark. Not hard to look up. I used to go to this place as a kid every summer. So damn sad.
Fab location and some of the items left behind wow, those settees and cabinet were so nice, fantastic video, thank you, loved the bit at the end, you guys are so funny.
😁
I'm a new sub ...just found your videos and love them. They are so interesting and I'm sure not by any means easy for you to do...so its very appreciated ! The places you show are really awesome!!
Aww thanks. Not always easy, but i love it.
shame all that reusuable stuff just going to waste..would be nice if charity organizations or people could salvage it somehow
It only took 6 yrs for that place to look like that ?
Llnda Discher nice place
I've seen other videos of this property but I must say yours is superior to them. Thank you for the add-ons about property. Great job, Gentlemen.

My worst fear is coming up on a body :(
You've got balls. I wouldn't go in there with anything less than an army.
Definitely would not go in one of these places without weapons. No one knows what druggies or squatters are in there.
We carry weapons on us. It was a bit scary. Didnt know who or what we would find.
@@JPVideos81 Good on you. I was looking for something "printing through" but you carry well. I used to do this with a friend before the age of cameras with phones built in. We just had flash lights. But we both had ccp's and when first entering, we would yell "we are looking to buy the property and we are armed you can leave now if you like" and as we went through the property, we'd repeat that before entering a new section.
We once checked out a huge abandoned power plant. The main generators were on the floor and there were balconies with offices and utility rooms for maintenance men and plant staff.
As we came upon an office, out popped a junkie that was crashing in there. Scared the crap out of me. Dirty mattress on the floor, needles and drug paraphernalia all around. The place was so huge, you could build a three bedroom house on the floor were the dead generators were. I told him we were not police and to keep his self in there until we're done and everything will be all right. He did and that was that. But both of us being prior service, always had each other's backs on a property.
Several times we'd hear footsteps scrambling out of some pre arranged exit as we entered. Many of these places had devil worship evidence with alters and satanic symbols on the walls. These had me on edge the most, as I had no intention of being sacrificed. I always wondered what went on in those places at night.
All I can say is, if you go discovering in these abandoned places, be prepared. Anyway, I enjoy your videos.
New to your channel... love you and Mike chatting as you explore. Your voice is soothing to listen to and you guys do a great job with the camera. I just watched your Nevele Resort and follow up video.... I’m hooked 🤗📹📷
Thanks lu ann
