Alright, so we just got inside of the
Acropolis abandoned shopping center in
Mexico City. We maybe have an hour before
potentially bad things happen.
So have to make it quick.
This place has been abandoned for 20 years
and during its high time, it was only
open for about Four years.
It was a beautiful mall, filled with kiosks,
Now it's been just ruined for two decades
I've never seen a shopping mall so strange
in my entire life
*Crazy Laughing*
I love this shit! I love this shit!
This is the stuff that makes my heart thump and I fucking love it.
This place is amazing.
This building's been abandoned for
almost 20 years, and if you look at it...
It's kind of strange for a mall right? All these pillars,
weird segments, it's like a labyrinth and
that's because it was built to be
similar to a bazaar, that's B-A-Z-A-A-R
Which is a middle eastern-style market.
There's tons of small little kiosks,
each with a vendor. They think that
weird style might have been one of the
reasons why it was abandoned. Also they say
some really important people built this
giant mall on the outskirts of town as
the money-laundering scheme, and that's
another reason why it went under. Also around the
same time it was abandoned there was a big
economic downturn
and any one of those three, or all of those
three reasons could be why this place was abandoned
Alright, there's the crew. If you look up
there's a giant star on the ceiling. Wide open
to the elements. This star was one of
the most famous things about this
building. If you look, the sun comes right in.
It will come right in the middle.
When the sun is at it's Zenith, it's highest point,
it comes right down to the middle, and it'll make a
giant star all the way across the floor.
I love visiting abandoned places because
20 years ago this place was completely
filled with people, with shops,
with teenagers getting tattoos, eating gelato...
It was fond place in many people's
memories. Now it's rubble. Plants are
growing in the concrete, broken glass is
everywhere, and it's basically a giant
graffiti mural. Here i am now, 20 years
later, making my own memories of a
completely different place. I'll never know what it was like
This is just what I see.
Spray paint cans. Old busted concrete.
There's endless broken glass. Broken mirrors everywhere.
I wonder... why?
Ah, shit, look at this!
So apparently all these walls...
all these walls were mirrors.
See this?
Imagine all these walls being mirrors. It would be like
one of those messed-up fun houses, where you have to
walk through like this because all the
walls are mirrors. It looks exactly like
that.
How is it?
Wow, the star looks so beautiful from above.
If we're going to get caught, it's going to be because of the drone...
The guard just came. There he is, look.
See him?
Now things just got complicated
Alright! So we got caught....
Turned out to be ok.
The Acropolis is an amazing place
It was even cooler than we thought.
This is Eber, this is it was Alberto with the drone,
who probably got us caught. This is Alan. Their descriptions are below
below check out all three of these guys
to make awesome stuff.
Experience over Possessions. Kick the Grind.
I'll catch you guys next Wednesday. Peace!
We just got kicked out, and we crashed
the toy drone back inside.
