December 27, 2019
After over 130 years of business, today I am looking at one of the most iconic and prolific retailers in history. A corporation which grew from a small mail order business in Chicago, to pioneering modern retail and what is now known as the "big box store" as well as shopping malls. It became one of the worlds largest companies and brands... all until its rapid and public decline. Leaving hundreds of abandoned stores and leaving a huge mark in retail. This is Sears.

A ship of pride for the United States and after a long career in her golden years, the vessel ended up in a state of limbo for a while. She was left abandoned floating aimlessly until she was bought out and renamed to the SS American Star. Fate had saved her... or did it?
1x52 - Disney’s River Country
June 5, 2020
Back in the 1970's, the Walt Disney Company built what was at the time the worlds first fully themed water park. It was beloved and visited by millions until it unexpectedly closed in 2001. Since, there have been urban legends, failed concepts and explorers venturing inside what was now an abandoned Disney water park. For years it sat abandoned becoming an iconic decaying theme park. Today I am revisiting the topic that started this whole series and diving deep to explore the full history and what is eventually going to happen to Walt Disney World's River Country.
1x53 - Zellers
July 17, 2020
Setting up retail in Canada is rather hard. However through most of the 1900's, there was one brand that rose through everyone else and became a thriving discount department store brand. One most Canadians remember fondly and went to every week. Zellers was a Canadian retail icon and one very much preferred over their fierce rival Walmart. However their fate ultimately ended with yet another American retail brand trying to make their own entry into Canada. That went well...
1x54 - American Dream Mall
July 31, 2020
Among all of the victims of the 2009 global financial crisis, there is one property still struggling to find luck in our modern times. The once named Xanadu Mall (now called American Dream) had eaten through billions of dollars, sat abandoned for years and even today is not fully open. Did I mention it's been under construction outside of New York City for over 20 years? Let's take a look at the infamous and morbidly ambitious, American Dream Shopping & Entertainment Complex.
1x55 - Revel Casino Resort
September 11, 2020
On the shores of the struggling Atlantic City sits a shinning, modern glass resort seemingly different to all the other old, tired looking casinos on the iconic boardwalk. Revel was the new development poised to reshape the gambling town and breath life back into the community. However things didn't go as planned. So today I'm looking a bit deeper into how a brand new, billion dollar resort failed so spectacularly and eventually sat abandoned for several years.
1x56 - Disney's Skyway
September 9, 2020
Across 3 Disney theme parks was a classic and beloved attraction which Walt Disney himself picked out. Over time however, the world grew and times had changed leaving the abandoned theme park relics as the only reminder of their existence. But now there is even a brighter future for the extinct Disney Skyway.
