Hi Wallie...going to roll the dice here, but at age 68, I am going to bet that I am your oldest subscriber...can't explain exactly why I am hooked on your videos, but I think it is the fact that you are genuine, and I like your approach, with a great mix of serious and humorous...keep up the great work, and I will continue to explore with you from the safety of my recliner...😎

For Pennsylvania that parking lot is in immaculate condition Great video! Love it!

Love these revisited videos, crazy how these stores still sit abandoned And that mold is insane

Great job wallie!

It looks like a miniature version of Rolling Acres Mall! 😖🤢

Goes to abandoned gym “I’m fat I don’t go to the gym” Toughest quote 2019

I really like the museum idea. That would be awesome. If the mold smell is that bad from outside, I'm GLAD for your health the doors are locked.

Nice video, WallieB26! The Sun Books really needs to be torn down because it is dangerously moldy in there. I think the Sun Books store opened in 1984.

Surely that’s been closed for 20+ years in that condition.

I bet you can smell the moss, mold of the place. By standing and walkabout,

As Manny would say if he was filming this place this is deplorable! Great video as always ! This place needs to be demolished asap! If anyone from the city of this place is seeing this please demolish this building and the other one its absolutely disgusting and needs to be torn down before someone gets sick

O my this place is so grody!

Yeah, it's pretty bad. It got way worse since 2017.

Awesome video WallieB26! Really enjoyed it.

Holy sh*t, the Sun Books is *even worse!*

WALLIE B SUPER HERO!

You should try to save that sign if you can

Looking at the ruins of that building would make you think you were witnessing the ruins of the Roman Empire. All over our country we are witnessing this. Makes us really wonder if the USA will some day be nothing but ruins like the Roman Empire is. Nice Video Wallie!

man that place is in bad shape , real bad like science project gone south ,since I found your channel a week ago I've been trying to catch up...probably gonna take me awhile....lol.... thanks for what you do

Awesome as always!!

Always great videos. Love the old abandoned service station videos you have done. Please find more ! Lol..

You pronounced that name right. I don't go to gym as well

The Total Fitness definitely has the look of an older Kroger on the outside

Awesome video

I like the revisit. Wow that Sunbooks side looks 100x times worse than almost 2 years ago. I think GE bought this property to keep Walmart from moving in. But the building is well beyond repair now.

And now the old Showcase North movie theater is closed up too. I bought a lot of cassette tapes at that Kmart as a kid back in the late 80s.

Back in 2017 I already thought you were a filming urbexer pro! All you are doing is just taking your art to higher and higher levels. I subscribed because I love the way you tell a story, add humor and respect everywhere you film. And while some of your videos make me cry (KMarts) I feel good after watching them. LIke this great one. A true artist is never completely happy with what they do. Sometimes I question how I do my Cat sits, is there something I can do better. Not the same thing but I see your point. Love the little fun facts you are adding to the videos like pop up video from the 90s. Hope you continue to do that. The place looks like a breeding ground for weeds and molds. Sadly the building needs to be leveled. I could smell the mold over here and it's nasty. All the way in Jersey city. Think Bally Total Fitness completely went under. I had one up the block which is now 24 hour fitness (though it's not open 24 hours.) You are not fat. You are fine just the way you are. I tell myself this and I don't need to join a health club to work out. I work out chasing cats for meds, lots of walking and lifting my bottles of beer for muscular strenght. Plus I work 8 to 13 hours a day so I could give up sleep and join a health club. Rather work out at home or chase Tigger when she bolts out of my apartment.

When I came to town for college in 1990, I would spend tons of time in the North Hills due to the fact that you could get there via bus. As a fan of books, I would have loved to know about this place before they closed, but I honestly had never heard of it until this video popped up.

Wallie, your content is amazing, I am hoping to see some more abandoned places when I travel through Wyoming next month.

That mold is insane

They tore it down finally . A bunch of townhouses have been put into replacement of there and Trader Horn and the lot .

At what point does the city not get involved and knock this down? This is a danger at this point where I live this would be taken by the city and the owners would be fined for demo

Yeah, I'm surprised its sat here this long in this condition. It only gets worse everyday especially when it rains given all the leaks.

It was Bally fitness

Nice

Deplorable.

It was a baileys fitness center

The building can be fixed if its gutted and redone but probably cheaper to tear it down and start fresh

Bet it smells just right on a hot summer day

You Have Always Made Great Videos I Love To Watch Wallieb26. I Loe KZread Channel.

Hey Wallie was this Kroger a Giant Eagle at one time since Kroger exited Pittsburgh Area in 1984 and Giant Eagle took over most of their stores.

On your next video could you go inside of the abandon storeor whatever is abandon. Plus your really cool you KZreadr 😀

I don’t know what’s worse, this bookstore or the Baltimore Ames. I'm also surprised that the loading dock hasn't filled up with water.

Hey Wallie neat video. What was Sun Books? Never heard of it before because I live in Arizona and the name does not sound familiar

Hey wallie you shouls come to rockford ill we have a lot of abandoned places here

If you ever get to travel to northwestern Ohio Toledo area, there are sites to behold. Old Hills Dept store that closed became an antique mall ( vendor style flea market) ..other Hills had a pre greenhouse Kroger's attached to side plus Joann fabrics. All leveled for a Walmart super center. Kmart across street closed along time ago. Had auto center separate in front lot. Car lots have fought over property. One started to do work but stopped. Lot completely leveled but now no progress since.....but old label scarred Kmart road sign still stands....other two Kmart's stayed longer but eventually fell to cuts....one remodeled to a Home store. Other sits empty.....

This was going to be the site for the Walmart. Trader Horn and Sun books would of been torn down and the new Walmart put up somewhere. The Pine Creek Giant Eagle pulled a slick move and bought some land that Walmart needed to make a better entrance/exit and Walmart backed out. At least that is what I heard. Plus the County and Residents were fighting it tooth and nail.

Looks like a good matinee day at the Showcase North, Lol. Now owned by Wright Automotive just for parking. I could have gotten you inside before they started removing seats, etc.

That is a very disgusting building. Kroger abadoned all of their green houses near me in the 1990sand moved to bigger stores some are still empty!!!!.

🆒 FIND!!!

One was for the book store. When this once Kroger grocery store was repurposed into the book store, half of it was converted into a fitness center. So it was divided.

On the right looks like walmart

The bookstore side is definitely worse looking than even that Ames headquarters you recently filmed. Really black in there.

Awesome video
