Even though I'm from Russia, I really like your videos. It's always sad to see abandoned places where people lived.

My grandparents lived in Gate Oklahoma. Seeing it featured on your video brought back many wonderful memories. I remember going to Avery's and Curtis' grocery stores with my Grandma when I was a little girl...

Chris, The building in Alva was a flour mill. Also the grain elevators you showed are still in operation. One of them used to be owned by my grandfather.

Love to see people document these little towns, they were the Wild West once Sorry to see people have to leave their home places for financial reasons these last 30 yrs and glad people in other parts of the country can see them because you explored them

I'm old enough to remember when these little towns were bustling with life. I even remember the trains with the wooden cars, the transition to steel cars was just beginning.

OMG!!! Crying room? They need to bring that back. Also, make them for planes too! Amazing... 👶👶👶👶👶

I loved this tour - it was so fascinating!

The memories made in all of these towns and buildings is something we think about as we travel. So much life was lived before everyone left.

it s incredible the enormous amount of abandoned towns in Usa. I enjoy so much see the users who are dedicated to documenting him. Greetings from Bs As , Arg .-

I grew up 7 miles east of Putnam, Oklahoma on the family farm. I attended the Putnam Schools from 1st through 4th grade. I still have the family farms and travel out there and through Putnam almost daily. The first building you showed was the lumber yard and general store.

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. It is very interesting.

Don't know how I missed this video when it came out. Many familiar places. Very well done. I'm sure you know, but rural towns lived by the railroads and schools. When trucking killed the minor rail lines and consolidation killed the local schools,.....

Gage, with over 400 people, I would not consider a ghost town, though a lot of downtown does seem abandoned. A couple of interesting things about Gage >>> First, the National Weather Service still maintains a weather station here, which has been keeping area weather data for over one hundred years. Second, Gage has an Artesian Park, consisting of a spring-fed, artesian lake the size of five football fields. The Park, located just east of town, functions as a large outdoor swimming pool, with a water depth that ranges from 3 feet to 14 feet. At one time, the park was so popular that is supported a motel nearby. Nice video. There are several additional ghost towns, or ghost towns-in-the making, in western Oklahoma, that I am aware of.

Been thru some of these towns in my previous job.

Little mayor looks great 😊

Love your video!! I grew up in western Oklahoma! I had to chuckle a little when you said town of Gotebo! I think you're the first person to say it correctly. Great job on the video❣

Really cool video. My grandmother grew up in a dugout on the side of a cliff in rural western Oklahoma in the 1920's. I understand it was somewhere West of Watonga. I have been all through the West there. She ended up in Geary, Oklahoma and even seeing houses there collapsed and boarded up only to realize people still were living in them. It was like going to a different world since I am from Canada.

Chris, beautiful decay, good stuff man, yet, sad!

Great HD and camera work. The colors really stand out.

Great video. 😊😊Its always good to see other ghost towns history that can be related to Saskatchewan in some ways. 😊😊Thanks for sharing these moments Chris.👏👏

The factory @17:42 is a food mill. Look up ADM Mills in Calgary

The dust bowel of the 1930's took a toll on that area. Most of the original inhabitants are still nearby ... at the cemetery.

Seeing old towns like this is why I take my road trips...Great job!

I grew up in Aline the garage was my uncles it served as a garage for the town

Hahaha, that same cat in Kenton is in my most recent video. She gave me a tour!

You could get many more ghost towns in Okla. Ive been to many. We are moving to the town of Depew soon. Pop. 400.

Nice video. I like to see the differences between abandoned places in the US and over here in germany.

Nice job Chris.

Could you please show the firehouses in the old towns you showcase?

I recommend trying the Mexican restaurant in Cherokee or "Ingersol" BBQ (on the Hwy from Cherokee and Alva) or if you're in Alva, Taco Village is a long time multi generational local eatery! And a Family Favorite for my wife and her mother!

Your NEW SUSCRIBER love a Lot This place , This vídeo 😊🙌 Huge Hug from Ensenada bajá MÉXICO 🇲🇽

Have to love the humour in the antique shop sign.

Great video/material/history.....Enjoyed; THANK U.....

I'll never get there, so thank you for the tour, it is captivating!!

Picher, Oklahoma is a ghost town as well. Both of my parents were born and raised there, and I spent some of my childhood there.

This is my first time watching your videos. I really enjoyed it. I love looking at abandoned buildings and older things. Please post more videos.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

This could be called "The Decline of Oklahoma Through Corporatism, A Journy in Pictures".

I love your videos it's like a time travel. Thanks from Canada

Addington looks like Shattuck, back in the Gage area of the video because of the windmill museum 😊 thanks for your content! Arnett, Oklahoma here… (the armpit of Oklahoma 😂)

I hope you go to the other end of Oklahoma when I was a youngster back in 1995 I was young man and we built the movie twister and a lot of the towns. I think it was Enid Oklahoma was one of the places we built I remember going in the back vacant town and putting fake store, friends and building fake homes over the pre-existing homes. The town was 95% deserted. It was right next to Kansas and I believe the story goes that a twister scared everybody out of town. I would love to get back there and see what the town looks like now.

Really good with locations! I look forward to watching your other videos!

Much LOVE from Roumania

I live about 45 minutes west of Tulsa, so pretty much the northeast of the state. There is a town in south-west creek county, called Depew, and most of the businesses are gone. But some person, group, organization idk, came and painted the windows of the abandoned buildings downtown, so it looks like there still open.

Very good job!

It looks pretty ok shape after such a long time. Ether weather is not that harsh or build quality is great. I guess the second most likely.

And the ioof building was on the end where we had Eastern

Great vid.

Yes, it had a motel. It was only open on prom night though.

I feel like I know your shadow, personally! lol Very interesting and enjoyable walk thru old time OK. Thanks.

For me it's so sad. Where are the Generation of these people who built all these things, towns and cities? Are they all dead or did they vanish? There should be a cause thanks for your updates

Fr Toronto 😢 the cat walking around in a abandoned 👻 town scares the s*** out of me 😭

It's an old flower mill. Critic mills used to have them. There's another bldg. ,same design in Beardstown il.

That used to be goodno grocery store the section to the to the north used to be the post office until I moved across the street

My great grandma who is 94 or 95 was born and raised in Gate Oklahoma. She told me her dad owned a drug store as in the general store back then. And that it caught on fire. That’s all I remember. So interesting

I would suspect that the abandoned large building next to the railroad tracks in Alva would have been a flour mill as it is connected to the grain elevators.

I'm guessing the building in Alva was a flour mill, my grandpa grew up in Waynoka

I'm from Cyril, Oklahoma.. We have around 2,000 Residents.. Great video man, where are you from?

That building was a meat processing in locker plant for many the springers ran it fo ears

Thank you!

Glad you put this om I can see what I can no longer travel to. From a small town and I know all to well how so many places get Abaddon, glad I could se, sad that they have lost their [people. If I had the money and the health I would try to bring life back to one of tham

If I was ultra wealthy (and maybe had several lifetimes) I'd consider moving to one of these places and just revitalize it like crazy.

Takes me back to Lawton in the 1970s😊

I do not know what that building in Alva was used for, BUT my father said they imprisoned high level Nazi's there during WW II. They also made Case Tractors there..

As always, the best way to see Oklahoma is: in the rear view mirror! How did you miss Slapout???

When was this filmed? Really enjoyed it!

My mom was born Gotebo, OK.

That was Otis hasty chiropractor

Love those old towns have you ever watched Joe n nics road trip

It would have been nice if you went deeper into these buildings

You know it is sad to see this, but in this day in age, could these little towns be revitalized in some way? People are moving out of the US BIG cities, new industries need areas to build, i know it would take a lot to do so but so many want to move out, to repurposing should be pushed into these little towns. I am not sure what that might or would be, but i think and would hope that something could be looked at doing so.

How about doing this same thing in north central Oklahoma? Around Medford, Wakita, Deer Creek, Lamint.

Love how you call cats mayors. What are dogs sheriffs? 🐶

Hi oklahoma resident here This is just north tulsa You gotta go south of admiral to see the nice houses

Should do Hastings, OK , used to have college

Raised in pocasset. Miss that little town

So sad to see the demise of Americas towns. Such a failure of leadership over many decades.

There is a cemetery in Aline Oklahoma..has 1,090 graves.

Is pronounced al one kids can always go in the bar and get him a pizza or pop anytime

WITH THIS ABANDON TOWN, OKLAHOMA COULD HOUSE THOSE THAT WANT TO STOP BEING HOMELESS. There are many homeless people that are Not on drugs or alcoholics that do want to be productive citizens of society

Общая тенденция в мире, люди ломятся в города, как-будто там мёдом намазано.

THE MAYOR 🐱

Gould OK is well on its way to being a ghost town

I was born in Woodward, Oklahoma!

You totally missed Waurika, OK. The antique shop there Nancy's Antiques is a fantastic antique shop, you totally missed it!

Are any of these for sale?

You have a very interesting channel! I have a desire to continue watching it. But the automatic English subtitles are not professional. There are no punctuation marks, the last words in the sentence appear very late. I would really like you to correct these inconveniences. Improvements will help us better understand the content

12:41 - this Cessna Skymaster, trying to pretend it is an O2 Air Force version is interesting 😁 20:03 - don't worry about that, and if somebody try to whine about it, ask them to pronounce "aluminium" 😁 cause they still think it's called "almnum"...

The locals pronounce Gage, OK as “Gay-gee”, not Gage like you would think. Suggestion: when you document towns, ask how the name is pronounced by the locals.

I'm not far from Gotebo.

iwana go to aline oklahoma and sit in the plane . cool mf tractor

The phone number shown on the window at 12:08 for "Seiling Community Hospital" still answers so is apparently still operating somewhere.

Should have visited Corn and Colony.

All these towns could take all the homeless around America

Get your kicks on Route 66.

OK, I watched, but not one peep or hint how to buy some suitable land. ( ? )

You pronounced it wrong it's kooky bow Oklahoma

Back n the day ppl didn't have modern transportation n each twn sustained its self

It was not the depression that killed those towns ...during and after WWII they were thriving ...I worked for the AT&SF RR all through there and they had most of their populations into the mid 80s ...but that was the beginning of the end ...for it was reaganomics that killed those small towns ...specifically trickle on economics was what put all those middle class wages and jobs in peril. Yet that is STAUNCH Conservative country and they vote for corporate wealth first and are STILL waiting for the wealth to trickle down even today over 35 years later. Somebody should have told them the USA is a "Consumer driven economy" and reaganomics is the worst case scenario for those towns and this video is proof. You missed Waynoka OK once a thriving town of 3500 before and after the war and is now down to 7-800 It has a storied history of WWII troop trains a Harvey House where Chi- LA celebrities stayed over night as that run was 48hrs ...breakneck speed back in the 20s ...even had a major airport where Lindy and Earhart landed for air shows ...and this is the SAD story of my home stomping grounds ...just SAD! See link below ...the US has gone from number one in 1945 to 164 on the world stage ...certainly one of the greatest declines in world history. Not only over the last decade but but the last 4 decades at least. ... www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2020-09-11/a-global-anomaly-the-us-declines-in-annual-quality-of-life-report The Social Progress Index, which considers itself "the most comprehensive measure of a country's social and environmental performance independent of economic factors," determined that out of 163 countries, only the United States, Brazil and Hungary had slid backward over the past decade. And though the declines were small, the U.S. saw the largest reduction in terms of overall score.

Maybe these Town are Ghost town because of the Evil that was done in Tulsa ,OK

Wonder if the high school in Keyes bought by a farmer is where Gods Misfits met. Read about the 2 women murdered and placed in a freezer and buried on someone's property Mothers Day 2024
