I’m Lyd, and I explore the forgotten corners and new developments of Northeast Ohio and beyond. From dead malls to repurposed buildings, every building tells a story worth observing. I also have a series called Liminal Spaces, where I tour buildings after hours when no one is around.
My Approach:
I film candidly and "on the fly." My goal isn't to be a textbook historian, but to capture the raw, visual atmosphere of the locations. I prioritize respect for every property I visit. I’m here to document "what once was" and "what could be" before it’s gone.
• Candid: Real-time observations over rigid history.
• Respectful: Exploring with a "take only photos" mindset.
• Observant: Highlighting the details others miss.
*Disclaimers:
*I try to reply to as many comments as I can, if I don’t get to your comment, it’s not personal
*I do not record in bathrooms with people in them! If I do a restroom review there is NO ONE in there, period!

I lost my phone that had the upcoming videos on it, so you probably won’t see new videos from me in a while, I also didn’t have them backed up 😬. I am using my backup phone, though it’s not as good quality. So I don’t know. 🤷

Are there any confirmed former Ames still standing? And I mean recognizable as Ames with signage up?! Not repurposed, unrecognizable etc. like intact abandoned Ames. Would love to see one! Thanks
