In this episode, we explore an abandoned school on the outskirts of Detroit. The school opened as a high school in 1915 but was later turned into a community college and career academy. Detroit's shrinking population eventually lead to its closure in 2009.

    I havent watched this video yet, but can you just buy a pair of steel toed, water resistant boots. They're expensive, but worth it. I have to work in mud, muck, job sites, conditions a fair bit worse than what you encounter, but you will be able to wear those anywhere. And your feet will be VERY protected. They might not even be 100% water proof but dry them out wont be an issue and neither is cleaning them. I can't watch another video with you guys forgetting your rubber boots. Also, you can buy rubber covers that you can easily store, remove and put back on again.

    About 1971 or so, we were staging "Twelve Angry Men" at Farmington High and learned that Highland Park was also doing the play. A bunch of us in the cast went down to see it. One of Highland Park's actors was sick and there was no understudy, but our person playing the same part was with us. We told someone we had their understudy! They took her to get makeup, and she went on. When the Highland Park cast thanked her during the curtain call, a roar of applause went up. Hard to believe we were in that auditorium that now looks so haunted.

Later when they need a new building they have to pass new taxes to pay for while a mile away is a disintegrating building that was fine until they boarded it up, walked away, and did not maintain it.

    @Bill Williams Sir, you can't spend money you once had but now no longer have. I don't know how it is in other states but here in Michigan schools are funded mostly by local property taxes. This means that poor communities have vastly inferior schools to more affluent communities. If you want to blame government, blame government for not passing laws that require every student, no matter where they have to live, to be provided with identical resources, support and money.

To think that the school board and city thought so much of the students and teachers to give them such a building.

    Drop ceilings were added mainly due to the need for new electrical, HVAC and network cables. When these buildings were built, there wasn't as much of a need for all the electrical that is used now. Also, drop ceilings create more efficient climate control as heat rises. I love revamped older buildings that have removed the drop ceilings, however, they do present a challenge, particularly for network cables as older buildings don't necessarily provide access into the original ceilings and walls. Drop ceilings are an easy way to hide all the cables and duct work.

    The problem is just a taxation, there's many countries where all economy collapsed like USSR and thousands huge former factories become empty in few days. Such empty wasted realty goes on market later as very cheap rent property even with municipal subsidy and it was fast filled with many small business owners who even restore places. Very simple, only economical politics, but taxes in Detroit still very high, it's profitable to abandon and register in other Us state than even trying sell realty here.

    @Brion Stronghold Highly simplistic answer to a very complex situation. Detroit was stinking rich from the 20s through the 60s. Then the car industry dramatically changed via foreign competition. Part of this can be blamed on unions getting too much power and stifling innovation but only a little. More impactful was the fact that whites moved out in droves after the '67 riots. So you have people losing jobs and people leaving town. Together this means a smaller tax base. This means schools are not funded. Schools like the Highland Park school in question. But, please, tell me how your simplistic solution that doesn't attempt to actually understand the issues on the ground solves this....

I think there is probably a lot of exposed amphibole and serpentine asbestos in the industrial buildings i have watched you explore in Detroit- it's inherent in very many structures, and somewhat of a worry where the interior has been smashed up. I think at the very least i would want overshoes that could be discarded or bagged then washed afterwards; you don't want to be carrying material out on your feet and into your car- where the fan then blows it up into the cabin. Keep exploring, you have brains which seems to be keeping you safe thus far!

    It is sad that so much equipment, etc. was left. I remember in St. Louis Missouri when CBC (Christian Brothers College - a high school actually) was bought by Concordia Seminary. It was left as if the people were returning on a Monday after a long week-end. When the campus moved, they just left stuff - records, textbooks, chairs, filing cabinets (full), desks, equipment. I suppose it was too expensive to move all of the things out of the abandoned building. So many inner-city schools could have used the equipment left. This is truly the state of the mentality in America: we can just leave it and buy new things. There are places in the world where the citizens would kill for such treasures left behind.

    That robotic arm might be an ASEA IRB. When was the school started and abandoned? As this robotic arm was made in 1975. The ASEA IRB is an industrial robot series for material handling, packing, transportation, polishing, welding, and grading. Built in 1975, the robot allowed movement in 5 axes with a lift capacity of 6 kg. It was the world's first fully electrically driven and microprocessor-controlled robot, using Intel's first chipset. The ASEA IRB was constructed by Björn Weichbrodt, Ove Kullborg, Bengt Nilsson and Herbert Kaufmann and was manufactured by ASEA in Sweden/Västerås. The first model, IRB 6, was developed in 1972-1973 on assignment by the ASEA CEO Curt Nicolin and was shown for the first time at the end of August 1973. The example shown in the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology is the first robot that was sold. It was bought by Magnussons in Genarp to wax and polish stainless steel tubes bent at 90° angles. This robot was donated to the museum during ASEA's 100-year anniversary in 1983. The IRB 6 sold 1900 copies during the next 17 years (1975-1992). It became the Swedish symbol for a new Labour market, shared between man and robot.[1] The following part is the story of how the development of ASEA's industrial robot began, a project that resulted in the ASEA IRB became a school for virtually all industrial robots that were developed in the coming decades. The seed of this industrial success came at the end of 1969 after Curt Nicolin, during a trip to the United States where he met Joe Engelberger who was a part-owner and led the main and leading manufacturer of industrial robots at that time, then hydraulically driven with simple point-to-point control systems. Curt Nicolin certainly thought that this could be something for ASEA to be interested in and then commissioned Wilmos Török ("Special Projects" Department) to initiate a preliminary study and the assignment was directly continued to Curt Hansson. As of an event, the time coincided with Intel's development of its first 4004 processors. To succeed in persuading Intel already in the beginning of 1971 to get a (one) chip from their preproduction, apart from the distinctive and unique mechanical design, has been the prerequisite for ASEA's IRB to form a school in this industry. The fact that ASEA was to create a single point to point robot was certainly not so interesting, so the connection to Intel and advanced control systems was the triggering factor for the project to get air under the wings. As a curiosity, it is mentioned that the processor was programmed using a machine-written manual with handwritten corrections and the long-awaited chip could be inserted into its circuit board, as expected for months on its processor chip. Curt Hansson was responsible for the project until Aug 1976, except for a short period in which Björn Weichbrodt had the IRB-project management. In 1976, a series of IRB 60 was also prepared and ready for delivery, and a number of IRB 6 had already been delivered during the years before. The direct management of IRB operations was then taken over by Björn Weichbrodt that from there on he did turn it into the business success it obviously is today.

    Wow! My mom was Dean of Nursing when it was Highland Park Community College, and my aunt was a teacher there too. I remember running around the place as a kid, and I can kinda still remember the way it used to look in your shots. This was interesting but also really sad.

    It's not a look into history. It is a look into the future. Soon the entire US coast to coast is going to look like this.
