In the early 2000's I worked for UCR nature reservation Amboy was the last stop to get supplies. I really enjoy going to Amboy

In the 1970's a friend and I were driving thru Arizona, Texas etc & checked our map and decided to stop at a town midway to our destination for gas & a snack. What a shock ! Turned out to be a rundown ruin gas station & nothing else. We managed to coast in to a distant town on the smell of an oily rag, as the saying goes. 😧🏜️

That lady historian Kenya is so easy to listen to. I hope she does more interviews.

We should be preserving our history and it's abandoned structures

Watching this documentary was like exploring a ghost town - empty, eerie, and left me feeling lost...but hey, at least it put me to sleep faster than counting sheep!

I wonder if Disney’s Cars movies were based on Amboy? I saw Radiator Springs all over!

Partly, I think. Roy's is on the National Trails Highway, the former U.S. Route 66. I remember seeing another video about Roy's and the people who owned it back then.

I love all these stories!! So interesting & entertaining. Thank you.

Governments allowing buildings to just stand and collapse with time is crazy to me. Either you make use of it or you remove it so nature can be free of all the junk

Do you think the government is the answer to all the problems then you better look around you I see the problems the government has created go hug a tree

It should be reopened. The money could be what saves it for history

i wander what happened to the poor people who had homes and businesses there, and in other abandoned places. It's not like you can SELL UP and move in. It is a huge loss. Does the government compensate these people or just leave them to start again.

Depends on how the city fails and what failed but unfortunately it’s left to the poor and middle class to pick up the pieces and start over or make a way to survive there

Protect your culture this is your origin

So amboy inspired radiator springs in cars right?

More ghosts!

Ohhh. Listen to You.

Great documentary, lousy electric guitar background "music". Unnecessary and annoying.

What does "gas up" mean? I assume it is an idiom only certain people know. I hope that people will not use idioms or slang.

Idioms and slang are what give life and color to any language. To "gas up" isn't really that difficult to figure out, is it? It simply - and obviously - meant to fill a car's gas tank all the way up to the top... full. A very common customer request at gas stations of the era was "Fill 'er up!", which was the instruction to the gas station attendant to fill the customer's car ( tank ) with fuel.

This was amazingly boring. Thanks, I've been having trouble sleeping, and I dozed off to this slow and torturous bore fest in about 5 minutes. KZread keeps trying to sell me this series, but I'm just confused as to who is actually watching poorly made Discovery Channel slop from the 90s.
