I miss the times when restaurants were unique. Now they’re all shoe boxes like you say. Love your channel. It’s a great mix of closed businesses and railroads, which is a cool combo.

The purple is probably for the high school colors. The Plum Mustangs. Sad that the only time I hear about Plum since moving out of Pittsburgh is when another gas line explodes in another neighborhood. It’s very scary! We ate at this BK a few times when we first moved to this side of Pittsburgh years ago.

Love The videos brother. Grew up in plum/Penn hills. Live in Bloomfield now for about 8 years. But awesome to see. Cool to bring me back to the old days.

There’s an old McDonalds in Lititz, Pa that was shut down and they moved it in a modern box building in Kissel Village. The old building was made into an Italian restaurant which was closed after Covid.

Check out the plaza in Natrona Heights almost nothing left there. I remember when there was a Howard Johnson’s which turned in to a bank which has since closed and is now nothing, a D&K Store, Fishers Big Wheel, National Record Mart, Princess Pastries which was an amazing bakery and a huge old Murphys Mart where they had everything from a small eat in cafe to live hamsters lol. Also if you like to check out old run down towns just go down Spring Hill road and in to Natrona down by the steel mill. My Uncle used to own a pharmacy down there called Lettrichs. Back when I was little my dad would take us for ice cream and then for fun we would drive back Karns road and watch the mill trains dump slag. THAT was really cool!

This BK was well run. Always clean, crew very nice, good food. Will miss this one. Sad..smh....🙁

Shoebox is usually owned by a real estate company. They lease to the company currently occupying the space. Companies don't want to risk buying property because it is so expensive. It also limits the liability of the company. If the property company is responsible for maintaining the property, it is them that gets sued if someone is hurt. And with companies going under, they don't want to spend any money they don't have to. The CEO and board members and investors want maximum quarterly returns and bonuses. The less you pay for the monthly payments the more the 1% gets. Red Lobster is a perfect example of what is happening with companies in America. They are stealing every last penny as the economy collapse continues.

That looks very clean inside

Interesting how they laid out the doors of that BK. Nice to see you documenting places like this while you can!

Back in the day, and do you remember Clara Peller from the old Wendy's Commercials? And, her Question was "WHERE'S THE BEEF "? 3:33

While the restaurant per se only closed a couple weeks back, this location was drive through only for at least past year. The nice lady at the window during breakfast hours said there was structural damage to the dining area, but the employee area was safe enough.

That is a really old BK built before they had drive thrus as that one is an add on. This building was probably built around 1970 when they used to have wooden accents between areas of exterior brick. The dining room has been updated much more recently.

Ah yes, the BK Lounge on Golden Mile. Honestly, this location always seemed pretty superior as opposed to other ones around me. Food always was pretty good. I remember one time I was inside during my break between classes when I was at CCAC, and they had country and Christmas music playing. No, not country-Christmas music, legitimately two separate music streams playing over each other. It sounded like hell. I never realized that it was purple/gold inside (for the Plum Mustangs). I wish more restaurants or businesses in general matched their interior designs to colors of the local community. You don't see that much anymore.

Thank you for sharing Wallie I like seeing the old blue roof Burger King

I love the blue roof thanks wallie

Another amazing video 😊yup there goes that horn again lol 😂 never stop and now got the motorcycle involved too lol 😂 can’t wait for the next video 😊

What a shame. Looks like it's still nice inside. I like BK.

I’ll never understand why restaurant companies just out of the blue decided to drop all character and uniqueness and go with a brown square. They all did it McDonald’s, Burger King, even Wendy’s.

Another good video! Really old style Burger King place!

Hey wallie a couple days ago I saw a red version of the bee thought you would like to hear

Awesome ❤ video BK

What’s up with all of those front doors? I do like the picture of the horse!

Great video. Thanks again

Hey wallie If you wanna come check it out, we have an open blue roof burger King in Forsyth Ga

There is a former BK in Houston, TX that looks almost identical to this one. It is currently home to a tax prep office.

Nice video Wallie and have a great weekend 🚂👍

This Burger King location was one of the last locations that the food was actually very good and cooked correctly and had that good old Burger King quality to it unlike all of the shoebox Burger King‘s where your food is either made wrong or the buns are cold and not toasted or the meat taste weird or not grilled enough. I don’t know if I’ll ever go to the new one in Plum because I don’t want to be let down with shitty Burger King food that they’re probably gonna make. I think this locations food was still good because it’s still used all the old equipment.

Of course… a shoebox. RIP to ANOTHER blue roof BK!

I passed that Burger King many times years ago delivering live bait, minnows and shiners and nightcrawlers and tackle to Ultimate Outdoors!!!!!

The horn blowing in the background is their way of saying hi. 😂

Nice oid Abandoned by Popular request Burger King all time finding one places is closed that's very odd.

As always great video 👍

Probably the best old-school blue roof abandoned Burger King find to date on this channel, love the purple colours in the interior though. Nice!👌

An awesome video, Wallie! 👍👍👍👍 I really like the old school aesthetics on fast food restaurants. Here in Weirton, WV we used to have our BK located on Three Springs Drive, where DQ is currently. Here in Weirton, BK is currently located on Freedom Way downtown on the south end.

There is a soon to be abandoned Arby's in nearby Penn Hills that is due to be replaced so get there before they wreck it.

Something you don’t see everyday thanks for sharing this amazing video wallie

That Burger King is definitely plum out of business great thing is that they are in another building which is a shoe box style of building

I miss how artistic and unique that fast food restaurants used to look. 😢

There's still a blue roof Burger King here in Uniontown, Pa

So sad, they themed it for plum, used to have plum high school sports memorabilia on the walls. I grew up walking to that burger King

Old one cool

Yes that’s a 1960s or 1970s style super old awesome find dude

Surprised it has all of the table tops looks like it's been kept up

Looks like an older layout from the 70's or 80's.

It's weird that it has so many doors.the layout seems odd too.

No that there is much to film, but have you ever visited the old Texaco sign in West Middlesex PA? Right by the 760,376, I-80 interchange.

Les Long worked here while he was in high school

When do you think you will be back in West Virginia making videos at abandoned places? I have a few places you should video!

Ate there many times!

It's avoided being looted & looks good. Remember when the char broiled burger 🍔 was really good 😋

If a Mexican or Chinese restaurant takes over, they might keep the look of the building. Otherwise, yeah, the colors and aesthetics probably will be removed. Just my guess.

All along the New York State Thruway they had service plazas that had the big named companies like McDonald's and Burger King but they also had Roy Rogers and they increased the rent for the new plazas they were going to build to replace the existing ones and the companies like Burger King and Roy Rogers didn't want to renew their lease and the last time I was up the Thruway from suffern to Saratoga all of the plazas were in various states of rebuild and the ones that were complete had spaces for Burger King but Burger King wouldn't pay the new high price for the lease so they bailed out as did all of the other big companies that were going to occupy the plaza rest area The names they had for who was coming were all of these tiny specialty food places that probably won't be here a year from now But it was startling to walk into this brand new rest area plaza near Kingston and there were no businesses all spaces for them and even the equipment but no businesses no merchandise no food no nothing And they had the signs up that the plazas were energy-efficient renewable solar lighting and 0 foot print and as I came to the door and pressed the button for the disabled door to open the motor did not engage because there wasn't power because it was night time and I guess the batteries that were on the backup had failed and as I walked in I noticed how incredibly dim it was because the lights were solar-powered and led and even though they were all lit up it was very dim inside I went to go to the bathroom and unlike the old plazas that had the bathrooms either right as you walked in or halfway through the plaza I kept looking for where the bathrooms were and I went down the corridor in the center of the plaza and I'm still looking for where these bathrooms are expecting to see the large men's room and women's room and there weren't large bathrooms for multiple people I saw the big handicap accessible doors which again did not work for the first ones that said pregnant people, then the ones that said family only, then I saw the ones that said non-binary and Gender Neutral, and I remember from Europe where they had unisex bathrooms and even in America in the 70s we had unisex bathrooms but seeing all of these specialty bathrooms that were very large they were all handicapped accessible and only for one person with the exception of the family which had one regular size toilet and one small toilet for a child They all had the big fold-down changing tables, and they were all very large, but nowhere was there the old style big men's room where you had five or six urinals side by side and five or six stalls behind them They don't have those anymore and they didn't have any restrooms single ones labeled men or women male or female they only had the unisex or I guess non-binary or gender neutral is now the unisex I'm not sure But I used the non-binary I was the only one in the entire plaza it was around 4:00 a.m. and I shudder to think what these places must look like during the rush hour when you have a 100 people a minute that need to use the bathroom The Lines must be incredible waiting for a bathroom, and I imagine they have the state police there to make sure there aren't any fights because I'm sure people when they see someone go into a gender-neutral or non-binary bathroom that they don't look like they could be gender-neutral or non-binary that they would have people yelling at them I have long hair and I'm feminine and so even though I'm a big guy a lot of people all my life assumed that I was gay and I'm not but I have been friends with gay people and I worked at an adult bookstore and an adult movie theater and I have no issues with anybody and I've always supported the lgbtq plus people, but I know a lot of people take it really personally that they see this type of thing with the bathrooms where they don't have men's rooms or woman's rooms anymore and they didn't even have a dedicated disabled like they had in some of the old plazas but since all of the bathrooms are single bathrooms and all handicap accessible because that's the law it's not needed anymore to have a dedicated handicap bathroom But I was so upset that the lighting was so dim and the handicap doors had no power because the entire plaza was solar powered Solar is great, but I think they should add wind power and more batteries to keep the plaza running at night. And the deep fryers and the electric grills and the other equipment that the retailers need for keeping beverages cold and for keeping food Frozen and refrigerated and cooking I don't know how they're going to be able to power all of that with only solar The Thruway is a lot busier than it was in the 70s. Even with the tolls being so high. The Albany to Harriman toll used to be under a dollar. Even in the 80s it was under 3 dollars Now it is almost 20 dollars It is a lot of money for the average person I think once the VMT System goes online and people have to pay an extra dollar per mile for every mile on every street, I think they believe that most people will carpool or not drive. I think they are wrong. I don't see America becoming like China where everyone rides a bicycle And they are going to require bicycles to be registered and insured and pay a fee per mile, so I don't know what is going to happen. America in 2030 is going to be a lot different than the America today.

Rumor has it this will be demolished for a Taco Bell.

Awesome Wall

Plum Mustangs

Been to that BK many times. It's a shame they moved away from this classic building. This country is really headed in the wrong direction. Getting rid of all our history is terrible.

I don t like that sort of thing Horn honking Doing it to tick people off There ought to be a law against that

You need a channel only for BK, Wallie

👍👍,🍔🍟🥛
