As time goes on, the look of cities change as businesses, schools and other establishments move or go out of business, leaving behind empty structures, which can go abandoned for years in some cases. In this series, legendary skateboarder Rick McCrank explores some of these abandoned places, traveling around America to see the current state of the modern-day ruins years after the lights went out. Along the way, McCrank takes a look at an empty mall, NASCAR track, amusement park, and even an emptied town. A visit to the famous Route 66 and a glimpse at how Detroit is trying to make its way back from its depressed state are also on the docket.

Doug G @RT51224180 07/26/2024 I found this to be an inspirational show on how waste and decay can be combated by a few good people with commitment, passion, vision, and a sense of community. Too bad a show with some examples of how society can maybe improve only lasts one season. See more Read all reviews
