Walter's Vanished America

Most of America didn't burn down. It just quietly closed. Walter's Vanished America is a slow archive of the places that built mid-century life and then disappeared without a funeral. The Howard Johnson's lobbies, the Woolworth lunch counters, the drive-in screens that went dark between 1980 and 1995, the full-service gas stations where a man named Earl actually checked your oil, every video is one place, researched from city records, trade-magazine archives, and the people who worked the counter. If you grew up between Buffalo and Bakersfield, parts of your childhood are here. New videos every Tuesday and Saturday. Subscribe if you'd rather not let these places vanish twice, once when they closed, and again when no one remembered them.
