I had stopped at both the gas station and the restaurant in the past. Crazy to see all the old buildings in Breezewood like a ghost town

I know someone who used to work at the motel. It was a really nice place back then, when it was first built in the late '80s. It's so sad it fell into decline and then burned. Did you like the grill-turned-mailbox out front?

Your Breezewood videos brought back memories. I stayed in Breezewood many times over the years but the last time I stayed there was in that Days Inn in 2006. In the 60's and 70's my family used to stay at the Howard Johnson's and if I recall correctly a Quality Courts. My favorite thing in Breezewood was the Crawford Museum. The lady who owned it in the 60's was so friendly and she patiently explained to me all about the various animals.

Well, the indoor plastic plants still seem to be thriving.

Sanitary Waste Disposal is where anybody can empty their grey and black tanks of waste. That's from RV's Motorhomes, Travel Trailer's and some Semi Trucks.

Sanitary Waste Disposal: 1: Landfill or 2: A place for RVers to pay to dump their holding tanks.

Nuts to Breezewood and Pennsylvania for forcing travelers to go through the Breezewood retail gauntlet when connecting between 76 and 70. What a racket.

Sad video....Used to stop for lunch at that stainless diner about 15 years ago, on my home from York PA Harley Davidson factory tour....that's closed too now....This video series reminds me of the Catskills NY abandoned resorts, where the earth is reclaiming the old structures that used to be magnets for vacationers and big time entertainment names in the 1950s and 60s....Sad....pretty soon it'll all be McD, Burger King, and other fast food glop places and no more little roadside hotels....I stayed in one of those Breezewood hotels while on my motorcycle trips thru the area....drive up to the room door...unload.... sit outside with a beer thinking about that day's trip...and stay in a vintagy cheap hotel....I'm old now too and I guess this is where we're all headed....:(

I remember the restaurant. We ate there in 1995.

Can't find your previous video of this place

Hi, I like your videos of Breezewood, PA. It is amazing just how patterns of human pathways change for no really evident reason. I have been looking at Breezewood on Google Earth and have a question. Just southeast of the intersection of Rts 70 and 30 is a very large facility that has been abandoned. The parking lot is huge. There is one section of the building that has a very prominent orange roof on it. Can you tell me what that place used to be? It looks like it may have been the entrance to a motel or similar. I have looked at the maps for a while and can't really see how it fit into the traffic pattern. I always wondered why the state abandoned such a large section of the Turnpike, and why didn't they tear it up rather than just walking away from it? Lots of strange things have happened in that area it seems. Thanks for the interesting vids.

At the 3:34 part I seriously thought that someone was sitting at the bar right inside the door. I was silently screaming at you through my phone to watch out

Good find, good find!

5:18 The fins are from the inside a baseboard heater which someone stole the copper out of.

Isn't this property off of Rt. 70 , Town Hill - and not in Breezewood by the PA turnpike.. maybe 5-10 miles from Breezewood ?

the fire was a suspected squatter meth lad (not the breaking bad lab but a shake and bake Gatorade bottle lad gone bad)

Wow. Looks like a second intentional fire. Or someone took it down for safety reasons. I love the nastalgia. Thanks.

Hey man you should check out Eastpoint Mall in Dundalk MD if you ever get the chance. I live 10 minutes from there and it’s had the same fate as most of the malls you’ve checked out on here as my dad used to tell me it was booming in the 70’s and 80’s and now it’s pretty much dead inside.

I do not understand the need for kids or vandals to destroy these places. Let alone, mark their territory with graffiti, like a dog pissing on a tree to let others know he was here.

It's a shame the way Breezewood looks now, this to me was the "City of Signs". I've been passing through Breezewood on my way to DC for the March for Life event in the past 15 years, and with the exception to a few novelty shops and Gateway Plaza, it's gone downhill.

You were close to the abandoned turnpike.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly where your at on top of the hill with the old days inn. I see there is a new one beside the Sheetz but that one is obviously not the one you are at. I'm using Google Earth and still can't figure it out.

If you think about it before you go to this places, if you look on the GIS maps for the county you can see the tax records of who owns the property and who pays the property taxes guaranteed somebody's paying property taxes no matter what conditions in

Where's the old Stuckey's in relation to this place?

COOL !

Sad

Sad. 😣

I can’t believe that the scrappers have not cleaned that building out yet

A shame about the vandalism, but what's the difference? Days Inn took whatever they wanted and were never coming back. Obviously. I'm sure that's what the vandals thought.

It was bad when my wife and I stayed there about 20 years ago. "All roads go through Breezewood". I will never understand how the city fathers got the Feds/State of PA to make cars exit in the middle of town just to go from one Interstate to another. Money talks again.

After the apocalypse .
