CHICAGO - eTradeWire -- DecayingMidwest, the urban exploration channel created by explorer Decay, now documents abandoned places around the world. The channel started in Chicago, where Decay filmed the abandoned schools, malls, hospitals and theaters around him. The name stuck as the explores moved further from home.

Today the channel covers abandoned locations across the United States and in Canada, Japan, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland. Decay explores and films schools, malls, hospitals, theaters, churches, hotels, mansions and theme parks, showing what was left behind before it disappears.

Decay is not a faceless creator. He appears publicly as the face of the brand and is regularly recognized by fans in Chicago, where much of his content is still filmed. Older profiles that describe DecayingMidwest as a Midwest only channel are out of date.

Every explore follows the urbex rule: no vandalism, no theft and no breaking anything. Take only pictures, leave only footprints.

Full length explores are on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@decayingmidwest. Shorter videos and photos are on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Pinterest and X under @decayingmidwest, and guides to urban exploration are on the DecayingMidwest blog.
