Abandoned Marathon - Kenova, WV 

I live a block away. When Marathon decided it wasn't making enough money, they closed. A Mexican man reopened it, still not enough business. He was only there a few months. Then there was a crew there, cleaned out all of the products, which were still in there for about a year, painted it and it's been abandoned ever since. Too many gas stations around our town, I guess. Those busses are still in use. They disappear every school day. There is a train bridge going into Kentucky, but the big one that goes all the way across town goes into Ohio. Lots of people photograph trains crossing it. I'm glad you enjoyed our town, it's a great place to live. Someone needs to come up with an idea for that place, that isn't a gas station. Cool thing about here is that Kentucky is across one river, and Ohio is just across the other. Really handy sometimes.

This is About 3 miles from my house. It's my hometown. This actually back in the 90s was a Certified gas station. Then back before The pandemic the Cigarette shop across the bridge in Catlettsburg KY put another Cigarette store there. They called it like America Quick Mart. It clearly didn't do well. The Car wash does amazing! The school busses parked there are actually used daily, that's where they park each day. Also, Right across the Bridge is Ashland oil refinery aka MARATHON!! You would think as close as we are to MARATHON it would be reopened. Love that you done this video. Super cool to see my Lil old hometown.

You do these random acknowledgements to make us laugh, we sure appreciate it! 💙

Awesome Wallie

The tracks that go over the river into KY are CSX tracks. NS up in this area operate in WV and OH only. If you're still in this area, there is a old abandoned YMCA in Russell,KY downtown area.

Awesome job!!!! You hit 60K. Now just 40K to go and you’ll have that silver play button ▶️

There’s an abandoned Marathon in Beaver Falls by the Catholic School, but I think someone might own it. There’s usually an RV and a truck parked under the canopy.

I'm surprised the building looks like it closed yesterday

Thanks for the video 🌞

That building is still in good shape considering how long this place has been closed.

Congratulations on 60 K

You should visit the abandoned Hagerstown sears before its completely gone by the Long meadow shopping center! its currently being torn down for a sheetz but the process is slow af. The store was built in the 1950s and closed in 2003

There was no emergency exit on that building... lol, really dangerous !

There's also an abandoned Shoneys in nearby Huntington and an abandoned Hardees in Barboursville.

Cool video

Hey Wallie, I am actually familiar with this chain. Americas Quick Marts is owned by a man named Jack Patel. They are out of Prestonsburg KY. All of Jacks family help out with the chain. So they are 4 of these in my county. His nephew is the county manager. So he is over all of four county locations. If

I saw a video that someone had an old Volvo from the late 80’s early 90’s and they reached 1 million miles on it around 2020

I love gas stations!

i love that shirt christmas vacation was totally funny

There is a abandoned marathon gas station in Crossville tn

Way to go with 60k!

Not a dumb acknowledgement! I love old buses!

I Drive By There Everyday

Drive to Willard Kentucky and check out vintage operated gas pumps with no card readers or anything 😮

I have a STP baseball cap!!!

STP stop the ping 😂😂

Congrats on 60K dude

I liked the video - there is something I find fascinating about abandoned gas stations too! Nice to know that the Bee Friend is holding up well - too bad GM doesn't make their cars like they used to! (R.I.P. to the Z24). I kind of want an older Buick or Saturn as my first car now! Long live the older cars! And it is so nice to have amazing friends who care about you so much - doesn't it!

Kenova , Home of The Pumpkin House !

I need a abandoned walgreens video in alma mi

They just reopened the place last week

Hello! I recently went to Salem, Virginia and I noticed a few abandoned buildings along the main road, mostly restaurants that have moved locations. it would be really interesting to see you do a video on some of those in Salem! the building I saw that interested me the most had no logo and is at this address: 1940 Lee Hwy in Salem Virginia. Thanks, and congrats on 60k!

I like the video.

When Catlettsburg started selling beer and liquor it killed there business.

Marathon couldn't keep up with the Car Marathon, it was to fast for them.

Cool

4:15 😂

That close to Ohio, the difference in gas prices makes putting one there not smart.

Hey WallieB26 just looking at the gas pumps they scream Texaco at one point in it's past before it became a Marathon and then closedown

I don’t know where kenova is

I didn’t know that you still drink yoo-hoo

What's not abandoned in West Virginia Wal-Mart. Lol

You wanna find an old school scoolie you better go look for an old GMC or an older international thoes are like mid 2000's I don't like the flat nose buses I liked the old stick shift ones when they actually make a bus..

Your Facebook group page says welcome. Did you create a new one or is that a scam? It looks completely different.

Wow ! ? No graffiti , garbage strewn around, people squatting like it would be in Seattle . $2.74 for gasoline 👍 $4.50’ ish here . Seattle’s liberal politicians ruined it here 😢

Honestly the owner was a skeelze but he moved on.

That damaged cell phone is a dead ringer.

When I Met My Wife She Was Scared Of The Dark. She Saw Me Naked Now She's Scared Of The Light.

Congrats on 60k Wallie!
