Скачать или смотреть I Drove Through Kankakee, Illinois | This Is What I Saw

This is the full raw driving tour of Kankakee, Illinois — the so-called “Armpit of America.” 🚗💨

I filmed around 2 and a half hours worth of footage while exploring the city for my main channel documentary, and this is the uncut version. You’ll see:

🏭 Abandoned factories and brownfields

🏙️ Downtown Kankakee, including the courthouse and Majestic Theatre

🏡 Residential neighborhoods from east side river homes to the struggling west side

🚧 Industrial areas, the old Roper and General Foods sites, and more

Otherwise, kick back, throw this on, and pretend you’re cruising through Kankakee yourself… just without the potholes.
