Abandoned places

Arguably the most abandoned place in America is now only a shadow of its former self in Illinois and there are new videos and photos to prove it.

You would think that when a US Air Force Base is abandoned that everything would be evacuated and the doors would be locked. That didn't happen for an eerie Air Force base in Illinois that has been abandoned for 31 years yet the doors remain open and the rooms aren't empty.

These explorers in Chicago discovered one of the coolest underground cities in Illinois and the video footage is crazy to see.

Just like the song says, you don't know what you got until it's gone.

It's like a modern wasteland. There's one Illinois place that was just ranked as the 4th most abandoned in America where more than 1 out of every 4 buildings is vacant.

How abandoned is it in one particular Missouri place? There are 20 empty schools there and nearly 1 in ever 4 homes are vacant. That's why it has just been ranked as one of the top 10 most abandoned places in America.
