  • It's bizarre how cities would abandon their subway lines even if they use streetcars instead of trains.

    

  • when is this open?

    also any locations you can recommend to another Cleveland explorer?

  • Didnt know cleveland HAD a subway

  • Rochester NY's subway is lit up like this on River Romance weekend. Have yet to go.Creepy, dudes!!

  • I didn't see a MCDonald's or Starbucks.

    NO wonder it was abandoned !

  • Soudns like it may be the same group that opens up the Cincinnati subway annually for tours. (I went on it last year...AWESOME! but expensive too!)

  • why is this not open lol

  • Wow i love the song can you or anyone tell me the artist and the name of the song please thanks

  • the band's name is Team Sleep. Cant remember the title of the song off the top of my head though.

  • Thanx for the help on the artist i just found the info its Ataraxia by Tean Sleep i really thank you for the help though cause i would've gotten nowhere if it was for ya thanx a million

  • @greatlakesurbanex The song's called Ataraxia

  • nice choice of music.....

  • When trolleys were abandoned by 1954, these former trackways on the bridge were two narrow for non rail traffic.

  • pretty cool, I remember going down there as a kid in the mid 70's with some of my sister and some of her friends from highschool, we would sneak in through a big metal door on the east bank. I'll always remember thre were these long steel girders that stuck out and her friends would walk out on them.

  • For those too young to remember, these buildings were luxury apartments. Nearby were excellent schools, large houses of worship of all kinds, and safe streets. These abandoned luxury apartments are a bitter example of what happens when a nation fails to manage its demographics!

  • great video do you know when they will open this again, where can i get the date?

  • It is open usually memorial and labor day weekends for Sat & Sun

  • let's see some truly abandoned places instead of ones that are cleaned up and opened for safe tourist-style viewing by the city engineer's office. not to dis, but going to a "museum" doesn't really count as urban exploring.

  • ok look at the rest of my videos and my website.

  • Try Chippewa lake park just south of Cleveland.

  • The park has been torn down over the summer to make room for condos.

  • There was a public school that was abandoned and we would run around the building. I had found a box of slides but not fully appreciating what I had found I tossed them.

  • @TechnicalEvaluation  look at his video of the cleveland school.

  • when do they open this?

    i would realy like to see it some time

  • a few times every summer like on the saturdays of holiday weekends. you check the cuyahoga county engineers office for dates and details.

  • When: Saturday, May 23, 2009  Saturday, September 5, 2009

    Times: Open from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

  • @SmallFry109 memorial day is when i go to it.

  • good stuff.

  • Do they let homeless people sleep down there?

  • no. its locked up real tight. almost impossible to get in there without permission.

  • ive been threre its cool.i live in cleveland so thats why.i wish no places on earth were abonded though!!! and when i was in the bottom a crater fell on the scary tracks!i ased my parents 10000 time about why it was abonded! it makes me sad to see abanded places

  • ok reply to my own question in case anyone else was wondering, it is a team sleep song and its called ataraxia

  • the song sounds like chino from deftones. is this a team sleep song?

  • why the hell do they abandon these stations i never understand that

  • They built new lines and these old lines and stations are no longer connected.

  • When does, or how do you find out they open it? I live right in Northfield and would love to check this out. Great song choice BTW.

  • its always on holiday weekends like the saturday before memorial day, 4th of july, labor day, stuff like that. if you google something like '2009 cleveland subway tour' im sure you might find a page with the dates listed.

  • You are right...I found some info at cuyctyengineers org web site. It appears they'll post the info in April.

  • you need to make a petition for them too open it more often, with the money they make they can slowly begin restoration and make it into a community interest building- perhaps art, etc

  • only problem is that they currently do not charge anything for people to take the self guided tours that they do 3 or 4 times a year, and if they started charging admission a lot of people would be very upset. its definitely a good thought though.

    i've heard a few different proposals for the space, including a sort of underground shopping area. we'll see though.

  • the " people who would be very upset" need to seriously do alot of soul searching and deep down thinking. if one is committed to historic preservation and cultural integrity, there is always a price, some how.

  • i agree.  regardless of how its done, i hope to see this place restored someday.

  • I wish you the best of luck! I hope that you consider contacting your local historic society to see what if anything can be done- perhaps a petition or ?-

    perhaps you could get involved in a fund raiser... anything, it really starts WITH the community people like yourself who are commited to historic preservation and maintining the integrity of their environment. Just imagine the immense joy you would feel if you actually played a role in the referbrishing of your own local gem!

  • Cool! I went in there about 20 years ago, before they opened it for tours, and before the building at 25th & Detroit was rennovated. You could actually get up into the building, and it had burned and was way cool. There were still dishes on tables and sheets on beds...

    The tunnels go back to Franklin on the west side, but end about 100 feet from the river on the east side. I do a lot of urbex in Cleveland... need a new member? :-)

  • I like this. In most "abandoned buildings"-videos you hear scary and lonely music. But here the music is playful (don't know a better word in English). So you can see, how nice and interesting (instead of scary and haunted) abandoned sites can be.

    Good video. And nice music.

  • Great video!

  • it used to b abandoned abandoned all dirty n trashy ect. i didn't knew they fixed it

  • I was down there about 15 years ago, and it was all of that- but interesting. There were old tattered street car ad placards strewn about the place.

    I was down there because the AT&T has conduit down there, and it had to be inspected.

  • what is the song in the backround?

  • They should open at least the deck under the bridge year round.  Fascinating. How far thru the old subway can you go?

  • on the westside the tunnels go pretty far from what it looks like. they have the tunnels blocked off so that you cant go all the way down them.

  • I always wanted to see the old subway. The crazy thing is I wasn't even looking for this. Thanks for posting.

  • oh shit they opened it up now for show wow n they cleaned it up i remember that place was soooooo dirty full of garbge n i kno theres some sort of water area in there is where it's blocked

  • It does not look very abandon with the guy sitting at the desk writting and the old man with the kid. It looks like its only been abandon for like 2 years.

  • its been abandoned for a long time now. the only reason you see people is because like i said in the description, they open it twice a year for people to walk around in, and thats pretty much the only way you can ever get in there.

  • it is best to eat cereal, and lounge, in a tunnel. when one ,...has...a tunnel.

  • lmao ye i agree like to see vid of loungeing in tunnel eating cereal .

  • ive been into that one u were at down in colombus and some by my house theres a big one in rocky river i always walk through never went to the end though. Idk i like alot of cleveland writers like digit prae ridl and i can go on and on. yea basically anyone on the redline, downtown or ohio city/tremont area.

  • I've been down through the tunnels before. They should re-open them

  • this looks cool. i live in cleveland too. i like goin through drain pipes and abandoned stuff like that too.

  • creepy but cool!
