yo dan, long time fan, this is super exciting. i bought one of your signed polaroid's in the past and it was one of my favorite things i owned, but i lost in in a move and its been years now. It still bugs me to this day. I dont see any listed on the site right now, unless im missing it. i would do anything to get another from you! You're my biggest inspiration in photography.
Hey Dan I thought you were moving to Woodstock? I was hoping you were still doing that, cuz it’s within an hour from me. And there’s lots to explore here
There are hundreds, if not thousands of little neighborhoods like this scattered across the US. The decay is astounding. Beneath the bones are quaint, beautiful neighborhoods. They need love and a second chance. Thank you!
But the state of the government and the crime activity are what keep it like this. The economy is trash and more crime and theft are growing. Causing even more inflation.
This doesn't happen to a city or a town in one generation though and you can't fix it overnight if you fix it too fast the people that live there start to resent it and then it just becomes a modern dystopia I hate to sound cliche but the slow way to build it back is the love in family structure of the people that live there to be built back up. Too much to say so I will say less your compassion though is the first step thank you pass it on
The last home is a prime example of why I’m drawn to urban exploration, I would pause the video and just stare, the beautiful furniture, those Pyrex bowls… it’s as if time just stops for a minute, and I love every second of it
The sharps bucket is so sad to me. It shows the person does care or did care at one point and has the knowledge to use it, but not the willpower to stop. Tragic.
Omg Dan, please go back to that one house and inspect that massive vinyl collection in a box at 20:07. The first LP is a disco album by Linda Clifford called “If my friends could see me now”. Can’t believe I recognized that. Looks like a good collection, even just to look through. Amazing walkthrough as always. Thank you for these amazing videos.
Good tour Dan, Sure is sad seeing neighborhoods being turned into wastelands. I can imagine back in day ,kids running around, dads working on there cars or mowing the lawn, and the smells of bbq's cooking burgers or hotdogs. Back in the days of kids having fun, not kids having guns. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
When you showed that little Green coffee house and said “ you could get a coffee here” I thought you were gonna say - and some pastries but you go “ and these little disgusting hamburgers” and I actually laughed out loud! not even gonna talk about the “ wherever you sniff shoes and take care of business” bit lmao you always crack me up! Love you Dan. Please do more of the thrift store videos where you roast everything! I’ve watched the old ones so many times and I love them!
That house you went into... looks like old people lived there and then passed away and no one took the place after. I spotted a big plastic crate with albums inside - would have loved to seen what the former owner listened to.
Seeing someone's whole life beeing turned in just a piles of rubbish is really depressing. Those vinyls in the box, furniture, paintings all just left to rot.
I imagine most of that stuff is from the original owners from 40-50 years ago that actually worked and owned the house. Slumlords bought them decades ago and the gov't pays for the bums to live in them for free. We moved out of Baltimore in 1976 and I happened to see our old house on Zillow about a month ago. It had our same carpet, light fixtures, a table we left in basement.., everything was the same, except for the trash and complete dis-repair. I looked in Tax records and saw there were about 8 different people living there under HUD. All just flopped there on our tax money. Makes me sick.
I loved the house here you explored Dan. Sad to see the vinyl records all left behind and a couple of the glasswares in the cabinet looked okay ish. I remember that spooky, small, barely-1 -car-width alley you showed Werner and I and how much rubbish is dumped all over the place. Thanks for an awesome video my friend 😍🤗
i used to eat at the last little tavern. it was on conking street. they closed it, tore it down and built the library. the last little tavern moved two blocks away on eastern avenue. i experienced the burgers. i had acid reflux, diarrhea and confusion. disgusting. maybe the old school locations were better but the lady who worked the night shift on eastern had scabs and bad intentions.She offered us sexual favors. NOT KIDDING. bless her heart. she sucked a lot of d**** in the bathroom for extra income. those burgers, talk about side eye. if we ordered a bag of burgers she wasn’t having it. very difficult. i miss her. she was fabulous. she let us drink in the “restaurant” as long as we poured her one. I loved her.
Dan, I have a LOT of respect for you... Being from Baltimore, you really kind of showcase the dump that the city has become, even if I don't live there anymore! You are without a doubt one of my favorite if not my favorite creator on YT, mainly because you're from MD and the Baltimore area! Sending love from FL! 🌴❤
Always love your uploads Dan! I live just outside of Detroit and have spent plenty of time adventuring in the city, along with Saginaw, Flint, and Pontiac Michigan. The sadness that it brings seeing places that once hosted thousands of people trying their very best to make it in life left to this is real. As always I appreciate your bravery and effort!
Great informative video Dan! Had no idea about state of the buildings and neighborhoods in the city is that astonishingly decayed. Wow. Hope the area can be cleaned up and revitalized.
There is over 15,000 abandoned houses,most will never he fixed up. It costs too much to fix them up to what would be a good standard for working people.
lol, traveling/shopping with sarcasm, I like it. That little building where Divine filmed was cool to see. I'd have had to take that flapper picture and frame. I must have souvenirs.

I’m 72 years old and grew up in Maryland. Loved visiting Baltimore. Peach Cake from a corner bakery! Lexington Market, row housed with their clean steps. And so much more. Thank you 💕 You did make me laugh … we disagree about Little Tavern burger. They were formed from actual hamburger at the grill. Wasn’t meat putty, molded and frozen 😊 Sending you love for reminding me of lots of good memories 💕 We can find Joy everywhere
Dan I was born in Union Memorial Hospital in 1952, and grew up in the Baltimore Area, My grandparents on my mother's side lived on Greenmount Ave. Your opinion of Little Tavern Hamburgers I would differ with as a kid I lived for a stop to buy a bag full for a picnic or a dinner . I was last in Baltimore July 2023 and it was a sad site.
I dated a guy from Washington DC a few years back. There were times I had to fly into Baltimore and catch the train down to DC. From the train it appeared that some of these folks literally threw their trash out of the back windows. It went on for blocks and blocks.
I love your videos. The house you went into looked like it was a very cute house, at one time. I saw a vintage art piece, on the wall, I would have loved to keep. ❤❤❤
The Goodwill was so funny from foot fetish paintings to dirty pans Goodwill has it all LMFAO 😂 thanks for sharing your very brave hahaha hope that house gets that UTI checked outside 😬🥴love ya danny ❤️
Hey Dan.. Thanks for taking us with you on this tour of West Baltimore. I find myself being drawn to the more seedy less desirable parts of town myself.. Im no drug addict or a prositute. I just like to take a stroll down memory lane, someone elses memory lane i guess you could say.. Mysterious and unknown thrills are something i have always enjoyed.. Thanks Dan Take Care.
Dan, it's good to "see" you again. I used to watch you and Will and one of your very first Leakin Park documentaries. You had even called the local police to see what news they had on this particular murder. Very good video! I enjoyed you visits to abandoned places like the Children's Asylum (where you felt like you were being watched and your users saw somebody's shadow on a door as you went inside - long time ago, about 7 years.) The video with Will where you went to Uplands. Those videos are memorable.
So strange seeing that house for sale in the middle of an abandoned neighborhood with shady people all over. Baltimore looks like it used to be a beautiful city but I would be afraid to drive around. The homes look so historic.
I love that old, stark building at 7:33. The hood still has such a quaint charm about it, particularly this time of year with overcast skies & the deciduous trees. Cheers Dan!
