Great info Thanks!

@@MobileInstinctur welcome 🔭Nice vid

I love this stuff and I've been on the back end of telescope operations! There's so many amazing crews out there keeping all this stuff functional. Cheers to someone restoring this place in whatever capacity they deem fit. Thank you for this great video.

Totally agree..I'm sick

You did hear him say a private person owned it right? Not the city or some nonprofit.

@Woochinatchika Kokillibolinov I stand corrected although I was just going by what he aid in the video.

You took the words right out my mouth , intelligent person .

Regardless of whether a private citizen owned it the city could have claimed eminent domain after the owner was convicted given the historical significance and made it a historical landmark, shame on them

i think repairing the telescope and re-useing the observatory is a beter idea

Human nature man... I dislike it but understand it... We've been doing it since we Made drawings on the walls of caves

@@charlesswenson259 Yeah, because I'm sure writing F*%K or drawing a penis is the historical equivalent of ancient pictographs.

I agree. No respect

@@ElementofKindness hah

The peace sign is an upside down broken cross. It's demonic !

Rebecca Lott - My thoughts EXACTLY, Miss Lott. Chris is doing everything right, as far as I'm concerned. No unnecessary, flashy intros and outros - no childish antics or pathetic attempts at humor - no need to be the center of attention - no click-bait titles - no phony 'acting' - no annoying repetition of the word 'guys!' He truly loves what he does .. does it to the best of his ability, without obsessing on unnecessary production details, or wasting the viewer's time .. gets the job done, and moves on. A+ in my book!

@@TheDriveInGuys totally agree. I just found his channel and he really is the best. Hoping he protects his lungs from the lead paint

I was thinking the same thing

We have a brewery in Bend, Oregon that added an observatory to its building. The building is in the city with a 24" RC telescope for public viewing. Now days there are filters that cut out city lights and allows the night sky to almost be dark! A business could invest in this building, likely get a write-off for its restoration and perhaps even the city would give them a tax-free break for adding value to their community? Start small, block off areas to be developed later but get'r done!

You wouldn't say that if you saw the blighted neighborhood this wonderful building is in. It was an affluent area when the observatory was erected, but nothing could be further from the truth today.

Most likely stole it.

Multi purpose, spray some, sniff some, repeat!

Artists

Harvey Films I can poop on a plate and call it art. Stupid thing is, there’s a lot of people who’d say “Hmm, what do you think he’s trying to say with this piece”? or “Fabulous! How much is it”?

Paul Weisgerber Yes, the world have become depraved.

The mistake on the lake.

Totally agree 👍, you look great by the way

I know

its just paint on the walls, your perspective makes it vandalism

Marjukka How about we randomly paint / break your stuff and see how you like it?

@@INDIlob Graffiti/vandal identified.

Their innovations in tool&die made IC chips possible, we'd win ww2 but there wouldn't be a computer age.

@@Jack29151 I disagree, mechanized warfare required vast quantities of machine tools. The machine tools, turret lathes W&S produced were crucial for weapons production.

I've heard of it, I ll look it up thanks!

It's called Serpent Mound.

Jackels? I would say Father Time has taken his toll on this structure.

@@CANControlGRAFFITI Father Time and Mother Nature. The graffiti artists loved it when no one else did.

It’s a giant abandoned building it’s literally falling apart. The spray paint won’t hurt anything. Don’t be so offended by spray painted dicks, they’re funny: fact

@@Ethyl.breaks Not a fact, and they are hurting something.

@@ginfonte3386 They never loved it.

That place is incredible. Few other spots that are amazing in Cleveland too. Just need to be very careful. Not in the best hood thats for sure.

You have millions of dollars to restore it?

@@dr.migalitoloveless1651 I wish... You would think some rich guy would want it...

Thanks Jeb

sski - Just tell city hall there about what you’d like to do with the place (if you’re serious about renovating it.) They just might put up the money for you and a crew, especially if it will help their city in any way financially once it’s completed.

@@4thegloryofthelord assuming that city hall even has that kind of money. funds like that need to be raised or privately funded.

@Chris Kiehart Take your politics elsewhere.

@Chris Kiehart OK. This is silly to begin with, and why is it here?

Pontiac9999 good catch

Maybe a woman? The voice sounded like a woman

Thanks!

Thanks, I ll google it

SpiritBear12 At 7:27 right after he says “In certain rooms it is hot!” A woman’s voice says “Fly!”

sadly it probably already is for vagrants and drug addicts :( much like Tacoma WA first Elk's Lodge did (before McMenamin bought and saved it) for many years. They broke in and broke history. And since there were no unboarded windows and the place they made entry was hidden from everyday community members sight, the city just pretended it wasn't a problem. Millions of dollars were needed (not merely preferred) to make it safe to open to the public as a historic restaurant. Hazmat was required (so many needles, broken glass bottles and pipes, condoms, excrement etc ToT) as well as mold treatments and cleaning they do in meth kitchens. It's heartbreaking to me. So many historic places used with less respect than a garbage barge. "kids will be kids.... they're not vandalizing with that spray paint...they are expressing themselves!" "Stop shaming chemically dependent community members! Refusing to live in a treatment program to give themselves a place to get on their feet and be a productive member of society again is cruel and humiliating/degrading." Hyperbole of course... but it's the way I vent when I see pieces of history and landmarks that can never be replaced, destroyed and then get told it's no big deal and they have the right to do these things and I should support them. Here in Washington, it feels more and more like the whole state is becoming a homeless camp with a state or city financed place within stumbling distance where they help people safely inject their drugs bought with their disability or welfare money. :( Thank God the rest of the country didn't buy into Governor Jay Insley's BS. This country would be even more lost (hard to conceive of that level of bad) than it is. Sorry for the rant!!

It would cost so much money to fix the place up, you'd have to charge thousands of dollars for a nights' stay!

@@afringedweller Nah, just some duct tape and paint.

Nobody wants to stay at a B&B in East Cleveland.

@@chrispartin4549 That's true, make it a gay bar.

Carry what? A bottle of water for them?

@@lettybabesify haha. No, self protection.

@@redpiper1 hahaha sorry I couldn't help myself 😂 I'm glad you took it as a joke too 🙂

Always

@@redpiper1 I agree. Never go into abandoned buildings without condoms.

Hardly anything about the law and Gov't makes much sense. Do you remember the episode on M*A*S*H where Frank (AKA "Ferret Face") discovered the natives were raiding their refuse piles and he decided this stuff they'd _thrown away_ had to be guarded by men with weapons until it could be auctioned, instead? My eldest brother was in the USAF, stationed in the US, and saw the same thing, armed men guarding a dump so nobody could take anything before they _burned it!_ Don't try to figure it out or you'll end up at the Ha-Ha Hotel wearing a canvas housecoat and being kept away from sharp things.

It was abandoned in 1983, the person convicted of fraud didn’t buy it until 2005. Since it had already sat abandoned and didn’t sell for 22 years since it first closed, it’s more likely that no one was interested in purchasing it. Given that the 1st buyer wasn’t until 2005, it stood little chance of being resold anytime after that.

Properties sell when people buy them. If no one wants to buy it. It don't sell. It's also likly the property is trapped in litigation limbo. Wich can go on for decades.

The owner went to prison and it would take millions of dollars to restore the property.

Yeah, it says wow! He must have someone with him. It was clear as day. Im assuming he has his gf with him or something... His camera light gave him problems earlier in the video when he was walking up that stairwell... First thing I thought of was a spirit. Then I heard the voice clearly and now I'm really wondering...

He said in another comment that he was there with a friend
