    They should start a youtube channel and tiktok profile then post videos

    Support Brent and Help him rebuild the Saloon/Hotel. He really needs a solution to getting concrete up 7 miles on the narrow road. The quote he had was way to high. He’s willing to do the work by hand and with help. He even said what types of cement mixers could possibly be brought up there and the amount of yards they’d hold because they’re smaller on his Saturday show. If you’re sad over this loss, you watch, and you live close to Brent lend a hand. Even with the challenges living in Cerro Gordo can bring it still seems more idealistic than worrying about everything in chaos in a place with a virus and many people with to many opinions that are hateful because of being stuck indoors. I watch Brent because that’s what it used to feel like to be free to explore and Brent being part owner of such an awesome place he’s pretty much alone to do just what we can’t but wish we could. Watching his channel makes me reminiscent of good times before this world changed.

    Did he get all 400 acres for this ‘town’ for his 1.4m ? Did you say and I missed it? Maybe you “journalists” lol feel pertinent information isn’t important. In farm communities farmers have just as many buildings(usable) and large families does that make them towns also? are you guys just doing marketing for this guy.

  4. chris whiting on February 23, 2021 at 7:43 pm

    How could they do a whole piece on this town and not mention that they have an absolutely outstanding YouTube channel. (Ghost town living) has become one of my must watch weekly channels. 100% worth checking out

  5. FloRider on February 23, 2021 at 7:43 pm

    Go watch his new videos if you’re just now seeing this! Totally insane and it’ll make you sweat!

  6. ronnie cardy on February 23, 2021 at 7:44 pm

    Love watching these show about this ghost town love it !!!

  7. Scott Schaefer on February 23, 2021 at 7:46 pm

    Ask Brent now if he doesn’t believe in ghost

  8. L P on February 23, 2021 at 7:47 pm

    They have a very cool you tube site

  9. Red Chilli on February 23, 2021 at 7:49 pm

    I just watched videos this ghost town on Ghost Town Living

  10. big mouth on February 23, 2021 at 7:51 pm

    I wish I could cross the Canadian American border to visit your town but your president Biden only allows the Mexican cartels in at the moment

  11. Christian Hansen on February 23, 2021 at 7:53 pm

    Young Brent hits different, his beard makes him look like an adult

  12. Chuck Itall on February 23, 2021 at 7:53 pm

    They accidentally burned down the main jewl of the town though, the hotel.. it’s kinda hard to watch it for me now, every time I see that burned out hole, I can’t help feeling disappointed in that tragity..

  13. Innasoul Φ Music Φ on February 23, 2021 at 7:53 pm

    Fire chief, you say?

  14. Brittany Ward on February 23, 2021 at 7:56 pm

    Oh no, TODAY did Brent so dirty lol. I’m so glad he’s got his own channel, he really brings Cerro Gordo to life. There’s not a lot of people like him.

  15. Andreas S on February 23, 2021 at 7:59 pm

    Fire Chief…. ouch

  16. Kevin Sherrard on February 23, 2021 at 8:02 pm

    It’s a real shame the pride and joy of that property burned to the ground. Now it seems like that was most definitely a waste of $1.4 million

  17. helen grunow on February 23, 2021 at 8:03 pm

    Yay Brent & Ghost Town Living!

  18. iv4n_09 on February 23, 2021 at 8:03 pm

    Funny thing I didn’t search this up

  19. thomas johnson on February 23, 2021 at 8:04 pm

    and this yuppy doofus blew up the most historic landmark in the town in two months.

  20. Matt on February 23, 2021 at 8:06 pm

    What happened to the other guy?

  21. lucas houchin on February 23, 2021 at 8:07 pm

    Brent looks taller and happier in this video. Crazy to think he’s had it for 2 years already.

  22. Blake on February 23, 2021 at 8:07 pm

    Wow he’s just had this place lying around for the past two years? He should include his business partner in the videos more.

  23. Barthel8CS on February 23, 2021 at 8:12 pm

    losing the hotel in that fire suuuuucked.

    cant wait to visit

  24. accomplice360 on February 23, 2021 at 8:13 pm

    Wow, Brent looks so different here. R.I.P. to the hotel

  25. Official Olli on February 23, 2021 at 8:14 pm

    1:55 what is Liam Neeson doing at Cerro Gordo?

  26. Disappointed Crow on February 23, 2021 at 8:14 pm

    RIP the American hotel 🙁 Do the new one good brent

  27. Dylusional -_- on February 23, 2021 at 8:18 pm

    RIP American Hotel

  28. Purple Fuzzy on February 23, 2021 at 8:19 pm

    To bad the American Hotel burned down

  29. Nah It’s Luke on February 23, 2021 at 8:20 pm

    So many 15 year olds hating even tho they don’t know wtf they’re talking about🤦‍♂️

  30. Mrbreakfast on February 23, 2021 at 8:20 pm

    Brents channel is truly S tier

  31. hanse81 on February 23, 2021 at 8:20 pm

    He does have a decent paying job, one of the videos shows a typical day for him and his dayjob was done after 2 hours of intensive work infront of his computer.
    Wiki says: Brent Underwood is an American marketer and entrepreneur. He is a partner at the marketing firm Brass Check and founder of the hostel HK Austin.
    500k+ subscribers on YT with lots of views on every video for a channel that size, he also have a growing Patreon and the local community also supports his plans to restore the mining town.

  32. Doomed America on February 23, 2021 at 8:21 pm

    And then the Dopey boat captain burned down the oldest building in town…..

  33. Lucy on February 23, 2021 at 8:22 pm

    and a youtuber bought it, 🙂

  34. Josh May on February 23, 2021 at 8:24 pm

    Glad Brent ditched the sailor hat and grew a beard. After watching this, having seen his channel first, this video makes it super cheesy and off putting. Excited for the future of Cerro Gordo.

  35. Jonathan Blanny on February 23, 2021 at 8:25 pm

    Damm and now it’s viral on tik tok

  36. Apollo on February 23, 2021 at 8:26 pm

    American News reports are so cheesy..great project though.

  37. DrownjrDrown on February 23, 2021 at 8:27 pm

    for the people that got this video recommended to them randomly go watch GHOST TOWN LIVING you can see the owner explore ALOT of the mines and rebuild the town.

  38. Sharan C on February 23, 2021 at 8:28 pm

    Is it possible to visit this place by car?

  39. HollywoodGraham on February 23, 2021 at 8:29 pm

    Ca.’s future theme park.

  40. Vybe Samurai on February 23, 2021 at 8:29 pm

    Yo .. do a part 2 (now)

  41. Adolf Hitler on February 23, 2021 at 8:31 pm

    “I’m not a big believer in ghost 🙂”

    The ghost: first time? 😏

  42. Sergeant Retard on February 23, 2021 at 8:33 pm

  43. Walter Tomaszkiewicz on February 23, 2021 at 8:34 pm

  44. sdavrider on February 23, 2021 at 8:36 pm

  48. JA G on February 23, 2021 at 8:40 pm

  49. Don Raptor on February 23, 2021 at 8:41 pm
