I always feel a little sad when I see abandoned places in ruins like this. To think that once this was a lively place, full of people making memories: A family with kids who loved playing in the play place while mom and dad enjoy a few moments to themselves, A little league team having a celebratory McDonald's lunch, a group of teen boys and girls going out on a group date, a group of senior citizens, enjoying a McDonald's breakfast with coffee and conversation, and so on. If the walls of these places could talk, they would have so many stories to tell. Memories that will last long after the physical building crumbles away.

Man looking at that McDonald's was like looking at a blast from the past McDonald's back then was a great experience but now everything is built cheap love your videos and stay safe doing them.

This is one some would consider to be a generation 3 McDonald's building. (1967-1979) these were when they implemented the 2nd drive thru window, a more modern design for the time, and the iconic roofing that continued till the shoebox design took over.

Wow, another runned down and abandoned McDonald's huh? I do remember when I was a kid, these types of McDonald's were great restaurants when they were opened and in business! I just want to say, God Bless you so much, Wallie! 🙏 You always do an awesome job filming your videos and you are so talented! ❤😘👍 I enjoyed watching your video! Thank you so much!

Wherever you go, the bees always follow! But yes, walking into that place was like taking a step back in time!!

That is one god-tier vintage McDonald's interior, thanks for going through the risks of documenting it! Despite the horrid condition it is in, I'm amazed it still exists after all these years. I feel McDs updates their interiors more often than the other big fast food chains, so this is a great find! I love the wooden seats, vintage wallpaper, and fancy tiles.

I remember eating at this location as a kid. Had seen some of your other videos and wondered what the inside of this one looked like. Thanks for going inside. The room next to the restrooms was one that could be reserved for birthdays or anyone could eat in there when not being reserved. There used to be a play area outside where the seats are.

I am honestly surprised this McDonald’s and the shopping center is still standing. It needs to be demolished. It’s been sitting abandoned for over 10 years.

That’s a shame that the building is trashed like that

Hey WallieB26, I have a little Funfact for you: I'm from Germany and the McDonalds and Burger King are still the same. They didn't got renovated and don't look ugly. So if you wanna see them, you need to go to Germany but i know its not easy. I love your Videos.

I wish we can go back to the days McDonald’s looked like that 🥺

I wish old McDonalds like this were still maintained and functioning. I absolutely would love to eat in one with a dining area like that, those booths are so unique and the trash with the pull handle. I love old stuff like this and it's always a shame to see it messed up, in disarray and made to become "modern" looking.

Man you was in my neck of the woods. Wish I would have known. That McDonald's has been closed over 15 years and the only thing in use is the old Kroger store. It's been used by Hemms glass for storage. Everything moved East of there.

Wallie, I'm surprised that the giant bee on the wall didn't scare you (7:58). 🐝 Thanks for that video and stay safe. This one looks like a health hazard to me.

I don't think they will find anyone to lease that anytime soon.

The extra room in the back would have been the nonsmoking section. My McDonald's in Emmaus PA had the same setup. It's still there but was renovated into a shoebox now.

Wallie, don't worry about the vandalism, you can always put the blame on Doyle! (9:48) 🤣

I, remember eating McDonald's in the 1970's, 1980's, and the 1990's when the McDonald's buildings looked like this, and not the boring shoebox buildings.

What's sad about McDonald's now is it's all tvs. And no place for kids to play. And grouchy employees and managers at the drive thrus! It's terrible, it's like they took out all the fun stuff , the stuff we remembered as kids. No wonder , they're experiencing a lot of back lash from people now. It's as boring as a carwash now.😢

What a Awesome Find for Another Abandoned McDonald's Video Wallie and Kayla.

Great explore Wallie! Thank you for going inside to make it more interesting. I appreciate when you can get inside, just keep safe and be careful!

8:11 Olivetti was the exclusive supplier of computers for McDonald's back in the 90s.

Great video Wallie; i really appreciate your willingness to explore some gross, nasty abandoned places.

the seats in thr party room look like hamburger buns...I remember those back when I was a kid.

Wow! I’ve never seen a McDonalds with the beamed ceilings and old style ceiling tiles like that. I recall the interiors of the old Long John Silver’s locations had a similar look (mostly 70s era).

It's now the third time that Wallie got inside of an abandoned McDonald's and this is the best one, very mouldy but I quite like it though 🙂

I wish all our fast food restaurants were still like this just miss the good old days 😪 😢 😞

I love how detailed you showed the place in the video. It often annoys when youtubers show us only a walk through, without focusing on the details. Thanks for the video. Got the vibe through the phone!

I miss the old McDonald's! WallieB26 really enjoyed your abandoned McDonald's video! I like the way they were back in the 70's. I just don't like the way they look today.

This McDonald's is in really deplorable condition. Safe to say there's no resurrecting this place.

Great video!!! Brings back a lot of memories of McDonald's when I was younger. Good times!!

There's only one way to clean up that place and that's with a bulldozer!

I feel like that rubber matting on the patio is indicative of them having an outdoor playground, at one point. Like, the kind that was one big self-contained unit, made of big, shiny plastic. Added years after the original building opened. But the interior literally blew me away. Not because of the condition it was in. But because I'm a child of the 80s, and I DEFINITELY remember eating at McDonald's restaurants that looked like this, when I was a kid. I remember the paned windows, the wood, and even the wallpaper with the houses on it! What a true blast from the past, seeing that late 70s/early 80s aesthetic! Literal core memory unlocked! Thank you so much for this one, Wallie!

The wood on the drivethrough window said 2006 and it had been closed then. I'd estimate it's been gone since the late 90s-early 2000s

That's gotta be the oldest style decor I've ever seen in a McDonald's. 70's to very early 80s, maybe?

Thanks wallie I requested this one you been getting a lot of my requests lately. I appreciate it :). Parker mentioned in this video when it closed it was either 2004 or 2006 it relocated down the street to a new location. Everyone who filmed this got inside you can also get inside the Kmart in piqua. This will need to get torn down if it wants to become something else.

I remember going to a Mcdonalds like that when I was a kid, I wish Mcdonalds would preserve some of these, it would be fun to have a "retro" experience at McDonalds. You can tell this building was constructed to a higher standard than the current ones, I like the wood beams and the trim around the windows.

That's was blast from past!!! That was awesome!

Bet the ice cream machine wants to work now

One of your best videos yet. I always enjoy your ue videos when you do them. And yes i do it too, and yes i know what i am doing. I always respect everything. No videos uploaded yet. But, I have doing it for a bit. Keep it up. Hope to see more exploration videos soon.

I always enjoy your videos especially because you don't vandalize them. I just subscribed.

Great video Wallie, Thank You !

That was a lot of fun watching that. Strange back memories of the Old day McDonalds

Wow talk about taking a step back in time. That is really a humdinger of explore.

Old school and abandoned Micky D's lol thanks for sharing this video Wallie stay safe and awesome.🤘😎👍👍I remember the 80s McDonald's that did the super size on the drinks french fries and samwitch.i remember the style it's 1980s like it can be on the Goldbergs sitcom. Lol

I really love this channel, I've been watching a ton of your videos. Sweet z24 in the intro BTW

I figured it was gonna be the Piqua, Oh McDonalds! I guessed right! Based on the videos of other explorers, this McDonalds is in such poor condition. Just so sad looking. The stools outside almost remind me of the Spider ride at Idlewild Park! Thanks for this 2022 tour of the Piqua, Oh McDonalds!

Man I love your videos!! I’ve always found interest in exploring abandoned places myself! This McDonald’s is far gone off the chain and it’s sad because this was once a lively place. I miss the old design of McDonald’s the new one is just too boring

Amazing video! The restaurant seemed like a fair size.but as you walked behind the counter, it just went on and on and on, quite astonishing how large it was. And amazing the it's still standing! Great job documenting it before it's gone. Wonder why noone moved into the space

interesting McDonalds you dont see any of them anymore that for sure thanks for sharing this one wallie :D

I love these videos did that's what got me into filming abandoned place I wanted say thank u

What an incredible find! It's like a time capsule

Funny...when you were walking around outside, I was thinking "I wonder if the roof leaks?" - Well...looks like it does!

I live in this town. Thanks for showing the inside. Now my curiosity has been satisfied lol. I will never go into that

Best video ever, looks like a 1970's mcdonald. Your voice and the way you talk reminds me of Mike who i worked with and we do HVAC.

I have never seen seating like that one with the center round seat with tables radiating out. Thanks for the look inside.

Ok,I'm viewing the interior,&it has to be mid to late 80's or earliest! Those chairs&tables& everything!! & The mold,&the open ceilings! Everything is soooo old. Wow! Thank you for sharing this with everyone!👍 BTW: that tile is soooo early 80's!😂

Awesome video!!!

This McDonald’s appears to have closed Before 2008. I’m asssuming it closed down in 2007. When the new location was complete.

You were in Dayton? My neck of the woods . It would be cool to meet you, maybe next time. Thanks for the videos.

I’ve never seen a McDonald’s look like this inside. The decor is wild

That is indeed a party room! I know a McDonalds where that room was "repurposed" as a dining room, but still had the walls and old McWorld friends!

Oh wow I've never seen a MC Donald's like this im starting to like your videos I love watching abandoned places there very interesting to explore and find out what happened to it

wow so cool old macdona ty for video

Love the style of the doors kind of reminds me of a classic house

quality exploration video!

Still looks as bad as when me and Parker Explored it, one thing by the old playground they had a time capsule sign by one those posts. Kind of curious that they have in there. Definitely grew up eating in those types of Mcdonalds, the good old days.

Wow 👌 awesome video

One of the scariest abandoned places

That really surprises me. as a former MCD VP, we would always make sure we "de-arch-ed" all closed locations. This may be a rare case where MCD did not own the building and the landlord did not allow MCD to do that.

A Piqua Ohio native right here 🙋‍♂️ yep that McDonald's always makes me sad considering I used to go here every day as a kid and now it's entire parking lot is abandoned and it sucks to see 😔

Guaranteed this McDonald served McDLTs

As far back as Google Maps goes, 2008, this McDonalds (and the Kroger) have been abandoned.

It be great to know when it was built. Perhaps there is a building permit that can be searched from a database available to the public at recorder of deeds or something. Provide some great context. Some of these McDonald’s are 2nd generation and are built right next to an earlier version. Great job. Nostalgia for sure.

Talk about a throwback!

if you had a top ten worst abandoned places this one just might make number 1 ...wow is that place a wreck, as always enjoyed much

That was a really cool vintage McDonald's don't see them like that anymore

Wow it is destroyed where is this out? Thanks for touring

Wallie I was watching this video beside my wife while she was watching tv and I caught her watching the video also and I told her since you went inside that you would say you was there to take pictures and video you wouldn’t take nothing just leave footprints after she heard you say that she said I’ve watched to many of your videos to know what you would say before you said it lol. Thanks for the videos you give us to enjoy watching but yes I did grow up with these kind of McDonald’s I could just see Ronald McDonald sitting on a park bench. You didn’t mention the label scar but it was very vivid this McDonald’s was in bad shape. You and Kayla stay awesome.

Wow. I'm guessing that's been closed for many years. I do not like the new McDonalds at all. The commercials were good the food was good. The 90s were a great time. Miss it fiercely. Thanks Wallie!

Hi Wallie, next time you're in Cleveland area visit the McD at 2200 Snow Rd. Still looks inside like it did when I was a kid in the 80s.

Wow, this is an old mcds. Ive worked at 8 different ones in Canada. Strange set up too. Never see one designed like this on the outside with that patio and no umbrellas. With those register monitors and wall tiles, id guess 1970's.

Where I live, the McDonalds we have had the red roof until just a couple years ago! I miss the way it used to look before they renovated it. Now, it’s boring and has gone downhill.

I wanna see the inside of that Kroger! Love the ones with the classic "greenhouse" facade!

I had many birthday parties at that mcdonalds growing up in the 70s and 80s. If I remember correctly it had a carousel room for the birthday parties. I spent a great deal of time in the playground there.

It reminds me of the McDonald’s in Mercer, PA before they shut down. Almost as dilapidated as it is, too! I can only imagine what the inside of it looks like today!

I love the wall tiles.

With some old places like this sometimes I do wish some of them would be restored I think some people would love retro looking restaurants or stores

So sad to see this but I remember they looked like this n the early 90s too. McDonald's used to b so much fun

In Beckett Ridge there’s an abandoned krogers that I used to go to with my dad. Then they built a new krogers right down the road which was a Krogers Marletplace and I was there 1st day with my dad

That is one rotting, ugly McDonald's since it was closed. I watched another video of it by another guy exploring these vacant facilities, and just like he said, it's in bad enough condition that demolition is the only answer. According to property records, this one was built in 1981. Closed about late 2006 or 2007 when a newer McDonald's was built half a mile away. The interior looks like it's original with minimal to no changes, and older stores prior to 1987 - they had metal outdoor playgrounds modeled after McDonaldland characters and a special room for kids' birthday parties and other events; and then 1987 and later was when they went for the indoor PlayPlace with plastic tubes and ballpits and integrated children's parties in that area as well. So, it would have been actually over 15 years since this one closed.

You should bring us an update on highland Park business park in Garfield heights, OH so we can follow the progress it made since it's renovation

That last room wasn't a play place. That was an old McDungeon.

I lived in Piqua that area used to be super busy when I was a kid

That whole shopping center looks like it is in bad shape

That wallpaper border of the various houses looks vaguely familiar from what my family would go to McDonald's a great deal, circa 1979 - early 1980's.

I love the videos

The one McDonald's we had around here used to have the play place in it but when Burger King built in location down the street McDonald's tore their location down and also built a new one minus the play place

It'd be nice if you can find a McDonald's like this still around and still in business

I feel like I'm choking on asbestos just watching this video.
