The Abandoned Street & Houses Of Lincoln Way In Clairton, Pa *DEMOLISHED* 

My grandparents lived in Lincoln Way. Their house was actually part of the video; the next to last house with the sea mist green paint and french doors. The community was not forced to evacuate or leave in a hurry. The residents of the street were older and simply either moved away or passed away.

My name is David Thomas. In the 50's I played with a friend who lived there. His name was Ronald Hunter. We both attended Walnut Ave. Elementary school...

My buddies were the last to live on that road in 2002...153! ;-)

Looks like large sections of Detroit.

You made it there just in time! My daughter and I were there in July/August. Today we drove by to show my son and Clairton has a huge no tresspassing sign and machines tearing the remains down.

These have been abandoned for a while, but I heard in the last year the police were more vigilant to get trespassers off that street. For a long time no one paid attention, but then a rash of vandalism and fires caused the crack down. I have heard of people being there for 15 minutes and the police show up. Apparently where you park gets the attention and people call the police. If you walk in after parking far enough away you have better chance of being noticed. Would have been cool to see these structures prior to all of the vandalism.

I just found you a week ago and I’m very concerned about you going into places that have obvious signs of black mold and asbestos in it without a mask to protect your lungs! I enjoy seeing the places you find! Best of luck to you and please take care of yourself! Thank you for entertaining me in my old age!

OMG I lived in Clairton until I was 15. Moved away in 1988. My old house is still abandoned until this day.

I read the comments and all the theories, but I was on that street somewhere around the mid to late 70s and it looked like everyone left immediately. Looking through windows there was still food on counters in the process of being prepared, I was there well before there was any vandalism. Some of the houses still had cars in the driveway, but no people, right up above it on the hill everything seemed normal. This was one of the strangest things I ever saw. I think I must have been there right after they left. I think I remember there was one man still living at the last house or end of the street. I could be wrong, it was a long time ago. Some say they feared a leak from the mill was toxic and they had to leave immediately. That explanation seems logical. I wonder why no family members ever talked about it. I never heard anything till watching this video.

I'm sure this is what Centralia would look like if PA hadn't demolished all the buildings.

Great video. I really enjoyed it. Can’t believe a whole street of abandoned homes

Google earth still shows liveable houses on that street. kinda neat to compare.

I live in the area, born & raised. The “story” on why this road is abandoned is basically urban legends! 😂 It’s gone now, bulldozed a few years ago. As for everyone saying “toxic fumes” from the mill, what about all the other HUNDREDS of houses directly around it???

So many memories from so many families. Sad.

Between 1970 to 2009 Home owners passed Other home owners house disclosed That read on the the web

Perfect walking dead filming location

Sweet find - tons of great visuals (and a squatter's paradise) I can almost smell the black mold coming from these houses...

I would like to say thanks for all the videos you allowed us to watch. I'm a big fan of history I believe your videos are apart of history. Your videos bring History to Life for all ages to watch. We don't see these types of videos on TV. I think that's why I like your RU-vid channel so much. I hope one day your channel can make it big so other people can see it. I like how you explain things in your videos. I can't say it enough I love your videos. Now it's time for a beer. Thank you keep up the good work.

The house on the left at the beginning of the road had an old car in it. Also if I remember correctly when I was little the school bus would go on that road and pick up kids and at the end of the road it turned into gravel and went back a bit further opening up to a big lot and an old opening in the hill to Alice coal mine.

Great video. Those dolls creeped me out.

This area is now torn down. The people left there homes due to very high taxes , there homes were actually taxed in Jefferson boro instead of being based in clairton. Allegheny county is way over taxing and all of the towns in it learned to over tax also. Now the entire mon valley has lost younger people and rely on the seniors.

Be careful with the houses that have the square pieces in the ceiling like that first one closest to the road y'all need masks on those ceiling tiles are asbestos

All of my history was just taken away From me. All the houses and or apts. I lived in where tore down. Even a bldg in milvue acres. But the complex is still there. Smh. So I love watching these .I'm only 40. To young not to have a history, too old not to have stories I can back up whilst telling my children

This entire block has been demolished. Not a house present today. This block was emptied due to property taxes that went very high

Awesome Video!!! I really love abandon places!! I also love your abandon business videos!! That's why is really love your channel and I'm glad I came across it!

Jmmy you good 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Thanks for the sneeze scare in the basement of that one house.

It's a darn shame. Human beings could do this.. . But this is their belief. About life. Death and misery are in their path.

I grew up there in the 1950's It was the most beautiful place on earth.A kid could ask for nothing better.King coal for heat,steam trains,the mill made,coke,iron,chemical' if a visitor said it smelled.The woman would say it smell's like money.

I was here today. Even without the houses, it's still creepy.

Montgomery Ward Payment Department... ...damn, that's actually pretty intersting to see. Has Anthony seen this?

How great would it be if nobody trashed and burned the houses down. Would have made an awesome time capsule.

all the 412 Numbers is a reference by locals to our Area code every number in Pittsburgh starts with 412

Would love to see what this area looks like now having been demolished. I’m sure not much to see but still…

The wards envelope was from 1991-1995, and the address was from clear across town.

Awesome video hadn't even got to finish it have to go to school 😓😓

thanks a lot, now I'm dying to see the brochure after the giggles.

Beautifuo how nature takes over

You should do abandond grocery store&movie theater videos

How did the city let that street get that bad way out of hand wild stuff

My uncle and alot of my family lived in these houses

When you mentioned where it was, I looked it up on Google maps. One of the homes looked very nice before it was abandoned. Google maps even were on the street at one time. Could this mean it was abandoned more recently?

Great vidieo nieghboorhood looked scary the dolls creeped me out that graffitti was just off the charts

7:25 TEAM SESH 💀

This is trending on Instagram now. A video showing these houses and the land

Why do people vandalize and do these things? Other then they are mental. It’s not your property or right to go into an abandoned home and just destroy it. The same goes for the ones filming. Personally it’s super creepy you are so interested in things like this

Town of the "Deer Hunter" movie

Clairton was fun growing up in the 80s into early 90s. Sad to see where the whole mon Valley is at

I believe a connector for the Mon Valley Expressway was intended to go through that neighborhood. The connector never happened. The houses (which had been acquired by eminent domain) were demolished though, just in case the connector was built.

Its odd that even now they block off and have signs for police everywhere even after the demolishing. So its odd to me what really happened here

Hey Wallie can you try to find another closing or abandoned Kmart?

Chicago in ten years!

Apparently I watched the first third of this video and then something happened? Idk. I was just going through videos and clicked into this and saw I was only 16 minutes in. October 20, 1991 was 13 days after I turned 3, so we're the same age Wallie lol.

That's interesting information about you wallie I figured you were closer to my age I was born in 80

WOW! That neighborhood is messed up! It looks like a nuke dropped down and made it this way! Anyway, amazing video, and once again, you deserve all the support you have, but more. You have made me interested in a new thing, and these videos you make really entertain me. I will continue to support your videos, like them, and comment on them. Happy 200 subscribers!

It’s all currently gone and being leveled out now!!

A toy is a graffiti writer that is new to the game. These houses were torn down a few months ago. I live up the street.

Like a ghost town

Isn't that place not too far from Centralia?

google street view goes back to 2007. looks like people lived there at that time.

great Video - Like !!!!

I Live at Lincoln Way when I was born at 2003 but we were in a hurry at 2:00 at Sunday 2012 The one that was empty

There are a lot of little brats that like knocking out windows and that's horrible

You might as well drink sparkling water if you're drinking Natty Ice

its seems like good place and strange at the same time

Its look bad place. 😳 very sad all mess up houses 🏠

i love my beer NATTY LITE the buzz you get the better you feel

They say pets are went missing and residence talks about the big scratches on trees! I dont know if its true im just really curius

Maybe the grounds are sinking the roadways have cracks in them maybe the whole thing the blocks or sinking

Why was the neighborhood abandoned, Economic or buyout?

Is that black mold

Why was Lincoln Way abandoned? . . .

Probably stole the copper out of it that's why the walls are all falling apart

What happened to this place? Bankruptcy? Everyone wanted nicer home's? Etc.

The symbol on the wall was om symbol Indian spiritual sign

that is part of clairton pa. it was a dangerous town at one time thats why there are bars on window. it was a city you didnt wanna drive thru with your car windows down if you was white because they would come right up to your windows and rob you or just jump in your car if your doors where unlocked or your widows down . the town folded when steel mills started to close!

Which house still had the car in the garage?

Wow the people who owned these old houses didn't really have them updated to modern styles/standards much and kept all of their old furniture/appliances. Can't blame them since things are not made the way they used to be, to last for many years. I'm open to both science and supernatural you did mention that you saw a weird mist earlier in the video. It could've been moister in the air or possibly a ghost.

Can you record abandoned streets in Youngstown oh

I found a church for 40k in Harrisburg a massive church

Looking for a place to buy to fix up a little fixer-upper

so creepy!

Creepy!!

This street would be like brookpark rd in cleveland if you had 1b subs

Yep demolished

The reason why they left is because there was planned to be a extension of a highway to the main road. They evicted the residents thinking that their houses would be torn down.

Post apocalypse like

Why was this whole street abandon?

The killer in all of this is that the city left it untouched.

that a way to turn on off water not sewer

16:20 so much trash!

forever late but I don't see it "boys only want love if its torture" is a Taylor Swift lyric.

Why abandanod

Hey Wallie. Do you know of any truth behind the neighborhood being bulldozed? I was about to make a 4 hour trip to do an Exploration of it ( I also do UrbanEx ) but seen in another video that it was all taken down.

This looks insane for a film, or tlou hbo series
