Old Towns Knocking On Death's Door - Abandoned, Rural Texas

Have you checked out Ropesville known as (Ropes) my grandmother and great aunt and uncle were born and raised there through the depression.

Who you gonna call? 🎼 Ghost town busters

that 4 stopping & looking

Glenrio Tx is a ghost town on the old Route 66 at the border of Texas and New Mexico. It was a filming location for “Bus Stop” with Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. It died when the new hwy 40 bypassed it. Sad.

i grew up in industrial dockland ,it was very run down as we transitioned from industry to our economy being dependent on students and call centers .

my wife can put the washing out on the line with out fear of it being dirtier after she washed it once it air dried , it was always a concern for my mam .

but i miss the sh,ttiness of it all ,the excitement of exploring abandoned buildings of being where i promised i would not go .

this makes me long for it .I sometimes drive 15 miles up the road to go to town that is run down and I feel like I'm home.

even miss the cold and the hunger , nostalgia can mess with your head .

Joe I must say , your wife Nicole is beautiful !

Joe: I will look into this video. At some point, despite the fact. I was hit by a car. So badly, I was hospitalized for 11 weeks.

You should visit leming Texas on highway 281 south of San Antonio please

The Way of the Cross..

It is sad to see these towns fade and crumble away. It is hard to believe these towns were one time busy places on Saturdays when everyone come to town to stock up on goods. I guess like everything it served it's place in time.

Is the population variance between the census and post office related to "city limits"?

My postal code is for a very small city in east Texas. However, I'm not counted as a resident, as I live outside the city limits. The current population is less than 300, but there are way more people in the surrounding area.

onlyin texas people can read ya know

tit the cross

if there own the property they can out any sign they want on there

Stunning portraits in the middle of nowhere. Love it. So, is there a nuclear waste nearby or what?

The plagues are called the twelve stations of the crucifixion

Hey u gotta show us Kosciusko texas and poth area if you do just be careful tho

Loved ur style man 🎉

If I was rich I would buy that town and fix it up!!! There needs to become a chain store that only sells made in America goods... Even if they only had 10 items on their shelves, I'd buy

Why do you not get out of your vehicle and talk to the locals and find out what happened. Why did they give up on the town, why did the people leave. Make your videos a lot more interesting.

How nice would it be to get a good group of people who longed for simpler times to rebuild one of these small towns .

Another great video

Like taking a walk back in time. So interesting. 😊

Joe - unfortunately the Stations of the Cross are all based on a "Jesus" that never existed. Maybe the dead who rose from the graves on one of 4 versions of the New Testament so called resurrection, not only walked to Walmart and Pizza Hut, also came to the Cross town and scared everyone away and then hung up the 12 pictures. Thanks Joe as it is now very apparent the USA's glory days have come and gone. Maybe Jesus can fix things?

It's my understanding that unemployment numbers is the number of people currently drawing unemployment numbers, but Texas may use more accurate data points. Also if the population doesn't qualify as a Village, it would be a settlement.

Dang this area seems a bit desolate.

There sure were a lot of BBQ shacks last time I drove down there. I never stopped to eat but it would be the only thing open for 50 miles. It's been about 10 years

Don't think unincorporated means excluded from census. I live in a vibrant and affluent unincorporated area and all residents receive a census form with instructions describing a mandatory response. To my knowledge unincorporated means no city government, under the control and protection of the county, and no post office.

I've been through there, Santa Anna through Brownwood is a nice drive, then Comanche, Dublin and finally to Stephenville.

Thanks for sharing!. So glad you went in the buildings to see. That was cool!

I hope you do towns like Colorado city tx

My family also had a black cat named Midnight when I was a child.

The 400 yrs r up. Genesis 15;13&14. Read that then look worldwide and see the Bible speak.

Go at nighttime. Lol.

This is the first video I watched on this channel and you have a new subscriber. I came across it just by happenstance while scrolling through some random stuff. Next I am going to watch the video on my birth town of Flint Michigan which I fled in the 1980s. I also noted a thumbnail which showed undiscovered Beach communities in Texas which appears to be my current hometown of Galveston Texas and it looks like a view on 21st Street... Let's see if it is Galveston I'll watch tomorrow to find out.

Very cool seeing these places that no one knows about. The clear skies, the desolation, the empty space. I love the feeling of it all.

Большие города поглощают людей, деревни, села

It's disheartening to witness the decay and neglect in every town visited. Regrettably, the indifference of US citizens is evident; there's ample space to destroy without much concern.

"se la vie",say the old folks...

Why don't you talk to some locals and ask about the brewery?  You could give us more details about what happened to these towns.

I have watching this channel for days. I love watching those houses 🏘️ thanks for sharing

I enjoy your videos...

It just seems like the whole entire United States has been run down like this. What the hell happened???

I would to love live there a pickers heaven

Looks like there are a lot of old fixer-uppers there that a man could get for a song.

It's the lamp from A Christmas Story (smaller version)!

Do you ask the community , expressly when showing people's homes. It will open up with the community. Might help

I just started watching these videos, and was wondering why you never stopped to talk to the locals. Then, with the two owners here I can see maybe why.

Unemployment age that average age of 53, most would be retired.

I've always wanted to come to the U.S., so I watch all of your videos to remind me of my biggest dream in this world. When I die, I wanna come back an American
