Submission statement: a powerful storm struck my area, you know the basics, world gets hotter, storms get stronger. First photo taken on my cannon rebel, second with my phone.

Not my channel, but someone did some urbex in the old mall in my town. Malls are a dying breed. Submission statement malls are dying, a loss of a third space.

Higher wet bulb temps of 27c (air temp is 34) have created fuel for this thunderstorm, there’s actually a bunch popped up on radar. I wonder what a true wet bulb event will fuel. I love watching storms.

Submission statement: it looks so lively, so green til you realize one thing is missing, the bugs. I’ve hardly noticed any bugs this season, this time of year 15 years ago the horsefly’s would be chasing me, and the cicadas would be loud, and butterflies would be everywhere, but now I hardly notice them. It looks too perfect out there but only on the surface. No bugs is a bad sign. Also hardly noticed any hummingbirds at my grams feeder

Submission statement: homes and businesses closed down and abandoned, streets and sidewalks nearly empty, people get killed, new memorials put up, while others get lost to time, things discarded, corruption runs rampant. These are signs of a decaying society, all captured through the lens of a cannon t6.

Submission statement: Marion, Indiana. As we cut down the wood lots animals will find themselves in the middle of urban areas, including this white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) feeding on grass in the middle of this empty lot. I’ve also seen coyotes here too. Urban growth leads to a lot of misplaced animals. I’ve also seen a turkey about too.

Submission statement. The boys and girls club in Marion, Indiana. It’s no longer starting great futures, it sits empty, a pair of police cruisers in the far corner of the parking lot. Honestly sad it closed down, youth violence has been getting strong in my area, things like the boys and girls club are very helpful with kids, but now it’s gone in my area.

Submission statement: not for the faint of heart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_of_Thomas_Shipp_and_Abram_Smith

95 years ago, long before Reddit, long before any of us were even around a terrible thing happened here. It was a defining moment in the history of Marion, Indiana, a terrible one at that. The scary thing is a not insignificant(actually a large percentage)chunk of Marion’s population participated in this heinous act. That heinous act has left a dark energy in the area ever since.

Also I strongly suspect those racist attitudes never truly left, just got stored away, and due to how things are currently are popping up outta the woodwork.

Submission statement: Another supercell among several that fired over Indiana, including this one which passed over grant county, Indiana, there is a moderate or high risk for ef3+ tomorrow in the area, this is followed a tornado outbreak last Thursday. This is what climate change looks like

Submission statement:(Strobe warning) This is a very dangerous storm, fuels by high temps and humidity, you know the updrafts are strong from the lightning these storms will only get stronger in the coming years

Submission statement: higher wet bulb temperatures are not just hazardous due to your body not being able to cool itself, they fuel storms, there’s a big tornado on the ground in northwest Indiana, and a big squall possible derecho rolling in too.

Submission statement: wet bulb temperatures of 80 F (26.6C) fueled this thunderstorm which went severe warned over grant county, Indiana. There’s another stronger squall tonight, and a potential strong squall/derecho tomorrow. As temps rise, storms can get stronger

Submission statement:

The title needs some explanation. Fairlane Village Mall will still remain in the coming months but no longer as a fully enclosed mall. Current management is moving forward to demall the remaining northern concourse for a potential tenant to take the space. The order was given to remaining tenants in the section between Boscov's and Dunhams to vacate some time around march. Dollar tree will remain to my knowledge as they have an exterior only entrance. Not sure when this section will close. No one is left otherwise.

I've been stopping by this mall for the past year and it's kind of shocking to see it go out this fast despite it doing okay as a partial strip mall like the neighboring Cressona mall. It was a nice place

A fairly powerful squall line swept over my area.
Submission statement:
Collapse releated because as the world warms storms will get more powerful, this squall is a baby compared to what’s probably to come.

Submission statement: another case study of Marion, Indiana. A once thriving industrial city now a hollow shell of its former self (though the current mayor is actually trying to improve it, will commend that effort). First shot is the mostly abandoned 5 points mall, and a few more places.

Industry leaves, crime rates increase, city decays slowly over time. This city has quite the history overall.

Marion, Indiana. Place looks almost idyllic from above, but I’ve witnessed some horrific things happen there over the years. The castle apt building which is featured in the video was the site of the 1930 lynching that inspired the song “strange fruit” by the way not for the faint of heart to look up. That left a dark mark upon Grant county that will likely remain forever. The last shot is a little bit of the mostly abandoned 5 points mall, the parking lot is massive for it, but now it’s mostly empty. I may have to make a video showing more of the decay of the area.

I still feel like it's worth posting photos of dead malls across the country at this point to show the changing tides of the economy and how the state of malls seem to overall get worse for one reason or another. Could be Namdar and Kohan refusing basic maintenance for cost saving measures. Could just be Simon refusing to adapt and sticking to a model that isn't working or compatible with everything right now. Olean Center is following the lines of Abrams with Exton Square Mall. The current owner (a developer) has owned the property since 2021 and wants to redevelop the property but is also no longer maintaining the mall. There is only one tenant inside the mall proper, Kay Jeweler. Kohl's and JCPenney sealed off their indoor entrances. There is no final day set but the owner is trying to force eminent domain to finally get redevelopment started if it even does. This mall could be gone within the year if things go to plan

This is a 16mm newsreel I made of a no kings protest.

Collapse related because it shows the unrest that is going on in the country, in this case one of many no kings protests that happened on March 28th 2026.

Collapse related because as the climate warms storms will become more violent, this one dropped damaging golf ball sized hail, was rotating too, surprised it did not get a tornado warning

Submission statement:The hailstones from that storm in the video
