welcome everyone Adam the woo here as
0:03
the recording of the Saturday March 8th
0:06
2025 it is dreary it is rainy it is cool
0:09
and crisp here in British Columbia
0:12
Canada
0:14
Vancouver it's going to be a Vancouver
0:16
day I'm inviting you to join
0:25
me and nerd locations also here in the
0:25
rain hey hey what's our first agenda I
0:28
think we should hit up the te Orton
0:30
Canada's finest coffee o just Canada's
0:33
or just the finest coffee it's in my top
0:37
three finest cofes ever let's do
0:40
it I'm kind of thinking maybe I chose
0:42
the wrong
0:43
time to go to this area of Canada it is
0:46
uh dreary nasty
0:49
wet we're also going over towards the
0:52
Chinatown area oh look over there
1:04
looking for Timmy's looking for
1:04
Hortons kind of neat you got
1:12
the foliage I guess the ivy here across
1:12
this little parking
1:19
area little Thorn
1:19
bushes right over
1:27
here kind of in the mood while I'm here
1:27
in Canada I want to try some poutine
1:29
maybe today
1:30
get a little poutin action a little bit
1:32
later the most unhealthiest meal on the
1:35
face of the
1:37
planet one thing I have noticed about
1:39
this area there is a lot of spray
1:50
paint as shown here on the side of this
1:50
wall just unlimited amount of paint
1:53
people
1:54
have utilize on the side of the walls
1:57
all right it's Tim Horton time the one
1:59
and only
2:00
piping hot caffeinated beverage
2:03
time one thing that is kind of
2:06
interesting it's very organized all the
2:08
names Up on the Roof here very organized
2:12
and it's almost like it was planned out
2:14
that way or everyone has their little
2:16
spot look over here there's
2:19
a sort of a creature right there the
2:23
helmet on always 20 minute fresh
2:26
geese always 20 minute fresh now I've
2:30
had some difficult experiences with
2:33
Geese
2:35
before so I don't want to get too close
2:37
but also hard to hold an umbrella and
2:39
coffee at the same time you ever had a
2:42
geese chase you before never never had
2:45
one you want to try you want to get try
2:46
to pet that geese how would I get him to
2:48
chase me he would if you got close he'll
2:50
try to come out you and pack you I'm I'm
2:53
not saying you should do it I was just
2:54
being I was throwing a hypothetical
3:02
look I'm scaring him away he doesn't
3:02
like coffee he a he's more of a cold
3:05
brew Goose he's one of those kind of
3:07
geese all right I am definitely a a fan
3:09
of the horror
3:11
genre think of the icons that are out
3:14
all the different icons that are out
3:16
there one of
3:20
them did part
3:23
eight Jason Takes
3:26
Manhattan part of it was filmed in
3:28
Manhattan but a lot of it was filmed in
3:31
Vancouver and this alley was used
3:33
prominently in a couple scenes I'm I'm
3:35
not doing a full filming location video
3:37
today but this is like an artist alley
3:40
from what I was hearing it is not
3:43
frowned upon to paint in the
3:50
alley as you can see people have just
3:50
really done up really great artwork here
3:53
this says grow
4:16
Vancouver so there's a hero shot as nerd
4:16
locations you always say let's look at
4:18
the hero shot the hero shot of Jason in
4:21
the
4:22
alley I if you can see it very well yeah
4:25
there's an archway there so you see
4:26
Jason looking very ominous with the
4:29
archway behind them and the archway is
4:32
right uh right down the way there one
4:34
thing I've learned about Vancouver and
4:35
filming locations they love using alleys
4:39
because we were looking at the never-
4:42
Ending Story alley Where falor swoops
4:44
down to the bullies the other day and
4:47
not too far is this one from Jason Takes
4:50
Manhattan spoiler
4:52
alert this is not in Manhattan this is
4:55
not in New
5:01
York but there
5:01
that's where he was and then when he
5:03
gets in the punching match with the guy
5:06
punches his head off it was kind of like
5:09
right in here what was it we kind of
5:10
like up on that roof up there yeah
5:13
either that one or this one we could see
5:17
this one in the shot see the pipe and
5:20
door and really I had no intention on
5:22
even mentioning this but we were walking
5:24
by here and I thought you know what
5:25
that's Jason Takes Manhattan I should
5:27
probably mention it
5:32
little roof up
5:32
there it is coming
5:39
down
5:39
classic Vancouver horror it's definitely
5:42
a nasty
5:44
day should probably check to see what
5:46
the weather temperature- wise
5:49
is oh that's what does that say
6:06
also noticing on the never- Ending Story
6:06
alley they had all their dumpsters
6:08
locked all of these dumpsters are
6:10
completely open and accessible and only
6:12
a few blocks away and one last look at
6:14
that Archway
6:15
there with
6:17
Vorhees Kane hotter Vorhees that was the
6:21
second movie that Kane Hodder played
6:22
Vorhees first one was part seven which
6:24
is filmed in bayonet
6:26
Alabama to those locations also
6:38
Seattle called something different here
6:38
but evidently there is a lookout tower
6:40
up there that you can go up in and we're
6:42
going to go up there and get a scenic
6:44
view very rainy and overcast view of
6:47
Vancouver that's going to be on our
6:48
agenda today as well oh
6:53
dang what is going on
6:55
here on the corner of West Cordova
6:58
Street and can be
7:00
is a bar called the cambi
7:12
generator so this is going to be an
7:12
interesting tie
7:13
in and in a roundabout way is going to
7:16
be a slight Easter egg when it comes to
7:19
aosmith rock and roller coaster at
7:20
Disney MGM now called Hollywood
7:23
Studios and I'll talk about more of that
7:26
later but one of the greatest front men
7:29
I ever saw in a band back in the '90s
7:32
it's a place called the Fairbanks in and
7:35
I saw a band called
7:37
snfu they were on Epitaph records they
7:39
were not the most popular epit records
7:42
band there's a lot of bands on Epitaph
7:44
that have gone on to super stardom
7:48
snfu did not get mainstream success but
7:52
Chi
7:53
Pig was this gentleman's name and he
7:56
passed away a few years ago in fact you
7:57
can see up top on top of head you can
8:00
see there's the emblem of a
8:04
pig and they have honored him the
8:07
frontman of
8:08
snfu band started at Edmonton and then
8:11
later moved to Vancouver it's spent a
8:13
lot of years here and that's kind of
8:16
neat that they would they would do this
8:17
for
8:19
him and according to Legend Adam this is
8:22
where he would hang out all the time at
8:24
the cambi since 1897
8:34
so for anyone that's been on the
8:34
Aerosmith Rock and roller coaster at
8:36
Hollywood Studios when you're leaving
8:38
the gift shop when you're in the gift
8:39
shop and you look up you will see a drum
8:44
a drum container what do they call that
8:46
something the drum kick the kick drum
8:47
goes in case a drum case and on there
8:51
are some stickers one of them is a house
8:53
of pain sticker a couple a face tof face
8:57
sticker and at Disney an snfu sticker so
9:02
when you go in there look in the gift
9:03
shop on the top now they're going to
9:05
completely change that rideing
9:06
attraction but for now snfu is
9:09
immortalized on a Disney
9:12
ride never knew speaking of House of
9:15
Pain shout out to Danny boy o Conor in

9:34
hill that
9:37
way never seen anything like this
9:39
happening in real
9:49
time yeah AOS Smith is going to be
9:49

9:52
spot that's why thought it was an
9:55
Italian again deep cut Easter egg

13:18
Vancouver Litter free city of Vancouver
13:21
nicknamed the greena city now we have
13:24
stepped well gone inside and now we're
13:27
getting into a glass elevator
13:32
got two
13:32
tickets up to the
13:39
top top of Vancouver the Vancouver
13:39
Lookout if you
13:41
will all right all
13:43
right this is kind of neat gets us out
13:46
of the elements for a while cuz we're
13:47
getting a little little soaked out
14:02
whatever you
14:02
do don't look
14:09
down all right some pretty good views
14:09
kind of interesting because recently
14:11
just in the gosh less than a week just a
14:14
few days ago I was at another similar
14:18
Skyhigh attraction in Vegas looking down
14:20
the strip from the stratosphere now
14:23
called the Strat now I'm in Vancouver in
14:25
the rain looking over the Greater
14:28
Vancouver area so just kind of browsed
14:30
around got a little 360 walkable area
14:33
that you can kind of walk around and
14:34
look down upon Vancouver and the
14:36
waterways and the boats and the trains
14:40
the Automobiles and the trolleys well
14:42
not trolleys but buses
14:46
and city transportation
14:49
devices so kind of spent some time up
14:51
there it's nice to be out of the
14:52
elements for a little bit because it is
14:53
chilly and cool and crisp and wet now
14:57
going to head back down and out into the
14:59
elements once again I really like the
15:02
fact that it is a glass elevator up and
15:04
a glass elevator down so you kind of
15:06
know where you're going and back down
15:08
now out into the
15:10
elements reading here that since the
15:13
early years of the City visitors have
15:15
been drawn to Vancouver for the
15:16
spectacular views of its natural setting
15:19
with the completion of the can Canadian
15:21
Pacific Railway in 1887 Vancouver became
15:24
a tourist
15:25
destination I think we're can head over
15:27
Chinatown now
15:29
pink
15:31
Alleyway look at
15:33
this I like
15:41
this that's
15:41
neat more awesome now that's what that
15:44
says on the side of the
15:46
wall it's a good little spot a very
15:49
colorful
15:52
Alleyway on our walking path we're going
15:54
by Cathedral Square I saw this from the
15:56
top of the little Overlook up top the
15:58
van ouver
16:01
overview nice Cathedral here and there's
16:03
a little
16:05
Courtyard which
16:08
has I don't know what you would call
16:10
this a not a retention Pond but a
16:11
decorative water feature that's what
16:13
they call
16:15
it we were up there nice little stage
16:19
here this is very unique and
16:21
interesting but look at
16:23
the look at the Moss that's built up
16:26
down in there the
16:27
dirt this is probably not the season to
16:30
watch a to have a decorative water
16:32
feature because it's yeah not the best
16:35
weather conditions another decorative
16:38
water
16:40
feature it's a pretty cool looking
16:58
seagulls look at the size of that
16:58
seagull all right let's follow the sign
17:00
here let's follow the sign go down the
17:24
here International Village that's what
17:24
that Globe is for
17:40
that little dog has a rain coat on a
17:40
yellow rain
17:41
coat that is
17:43
cute really
17:46
cute what the heck
17:48
geese go geese go go geese
17:52
go look at
18:38
we're in this little kind of a strip
18:38
mall place but this is look at this like
18:40
screaming like early '90s saved by the
18:44
the Bell Vibes through here with the
18:47
tile
18:49
work doesn't look looks like a lot of
18:51
the shops aren't open there is a cell
18:52
phone shop here that's open but a lot of
18:54
the stores through here are not open
18:56
because once again we're getting out of
18:57
the elements
18:59
this is right on the cusp of the gate
19:01
into in and out of
19:04
Chinatown oh look at this how
19:11
appropriate maybe that's maybe that's
19:11
one of the
19:12
nicknames man look how retro this place
19:15
is look at the tile work totally saved
19:18
by
19:24
the yeah this place is awesome look at
19:24
the neon up there very again very dated
19:27
but I love it all right let's go up the
19:29
to the second level now this says Silk
19:32
Road walking
19:34
route this might be the Silk Road Mall I
19:37
don't know but going to the second
19:56
level and to be honest with the weather
19:56
how it is outside I'm kind of ready for
19:57
another second cup of coffee
20:00
old school food
20:01
court old school tile work down
20:14
here now I'm curious what is that system
20:14
right there that's going upward is that
20:17
that's not an escalator you see
20:18
something's moving in
20:24
there got check that out Taco Time in
20:24
here got a Vietnamese restaurant got a
20:27
bubble King
20:33
Boba okay I'm completely incorrect it is
20:33
an escalator the distance I couldn't
20:35
tell what it was but it is in fact an
20:41
escalator they just look different from
20:41
the side cuz you don't really see the
20:43
inner workings of an escalator like this
20:45
from the side
20:51
normally I love the staircase down there
20:51
too that
20:54
little
20:55
staircase and I'm just fascinated by all
20:58
this retro retro stuff
21:04
here have another cup of coffee from a
21:04
little place in here I got to admit not
21:05
as good as Tim Hortons but still decent
21:09
still decent for a
21:10
little half empty Mall coffee oh so this
21:14
is the name of
21:15
this this is the fashion Boulevard
21:19
International
21:27
Village it just looks so dang cool that
21:27
is just so cool looking
21:29
got the elevator going down got the
21:30
escalators moving got the Vintage tile
21:33
work got the staircase right
21:36
here got the old
21:39
neon and we're going to go back over
21:42
into Chinatown and show a couple of
21:45
spots from the new Last of Us season
21:48
which is being filmed right now or was
21:50
being filmed I kind of want to ask this
21:52
guy about the NorthShore
22:08
got some pandas through
22:08
here I really like the tiles down here
22:11
the the
22:17
lights kind of a nice little
22:17
Vibe yeah so evidently they just filmed
22:20
some scenes for season two of The Last
22:22
of Us I loved first season the last of
22:25
us but evidently filming season 2 here
22:27

22:30

22:35
Asia according to
22:39
this be you got the world famous
22:41
building yeah it is kind of oh is it
22:44
moving no it's not moving I don't know
22:46

23:23
couple officers out there and they were
23:25
asking where we were from and they go
23:27
why are you in this why are you in in
23:28
this area they said oh it's fine we're
23:31
just walking around seeing the sights
23:32

23:37

27:32
I can go back and watch the scene say I

27:53
Chinatown Vancouver stands in for New
27:53
York a
27:55
lot a little music history now
27:59
a former Studio that's now sitting
28:06
empty yeah it's better than walking the
28:06
mile and a half just taking
28:09
over this place has the the best snacks
28:12
and
28:57
all right we got dropped over here next
28:57
to this park Park and we are at a
28:59
recording studio which way back in the
29:01
day this recording studio produced and
29:03
recorded many famous albums but there's
29:06
one in particular I was talking about
29:08
rock and roller coaster and Aerosmith
29:09
and all that and the connection with
29:11
snfu with the sticker on the drum case
29:14
and all that so a little weird tie
29:16
in but they recorded airos Smith
29:19
recorded pump in the studio a lot of
29:21
hits off that album and there is a
29:23
documentary called the making a pump and
29:26
right over here they pulled up in their
29:27
van
29:28
Steven Tyler and the rest of the crew
29:30
got out of the van and walked this very
29:32
sidewalk right along here and went into
29:37
this door right here now called Studio
29:40
North at
29:42
2011 here's the photo of Aerosmith right
29:47
here you can see my water logged phone
29:51
there they are getting out of the little
29:53
minivan right there on the corner the
29:55
tree on the end is gone
29:58
there was another tree that was similar
29:59
to that one at the end of the end of the
30:01
road pretty cool yeah there's stepen
30:03
Tyler right there you can see classic
30:07
car behind him there and you can see
30:08
that rock wall over there from
30:12
the from the park and this all looks the
30:15
same too as they're walking in
30:17
here evidently Metallica's Black album
30:20
was partially recorded in here I think
30:23
it was recorded in two spots but yeah
30:28
it was called The Sound connection The
30:30
Sound
30:31
Station this is Little Mountain Little
30:34
Mountain that's what it is there's a
30:36
mountain in Vancouver Little Mountain
30:38
Sound station there's the sign you know
30:42
what's weird it almost looks like those
30:43
are the same doors all right give me
30:46
give me a few key names and who recorded
30:48
here Bon JY recorded the mega album
30:51
slippery wiet oh Metallica recorded the
30:54
Black Album here parts of it parts of it
30:58
all La Bon Joy slippery went shot
30:59

31:01
heart what other songs were on that

31:12
elevator all right through recorded Dr
31:14

31:18
around back that was famous the metallic
31:20
album is they recorded all Lawrence's
31:22
drum parts and they extended the
31:25
elephant door to give his drums more of
31:28
Echo sound it's known as like a very
31:29
rainy City you got to wonder if he got
31:32
the idea Joy did for Slippery When Wet
31:36
because the sidewalk is very Slippery
31:39
When
31:41
Wet probably not let's see if we can
31:43
find that elephant door it's a bad
31:53
joke see this elephant door that Lars
31:53
used man I just busted my you know what
31:56
right there I just stepped off the
31:57
concrete it hit that mud and slipped I
32:01
you know it's very slippery it's very
32:03
slippery when wet goodness gracious man
32:06
I ate it dude you're living the Bon jobi
32:10
is this the elephant door you think
32:11
right
32:17
here dang man I didn't realize that mud
32:17
was that slick I mean I
32:19
didn't I was like I was Living on a
32:21
Prayer and didn't
32:23
work I was halfway there to the ground
32:31
should have held on to what I had what I
32:31
got yeah they put an extension on this
32:34
elephant door to bring out just an they
32:37
built an extension to record lars's
32:39
drums for the Black album right here
32:41
right here
32:47
yep are there any photos of Metallica
32:47
here I look I mean if you watch the
32:50
making of that they show them in inside
32:52
a lot
32:54
okay so this is the spot where they
32:56
would have loaded their stuff in
32:58
recording right behind here recording
33:01
right here y that's so cool
33:04
man the record went on to sell 33
33:07
million
33:08
copies inner Sandman Wherever I May Roam
33:12
sad but true yeah great album
33:16
matters a lot of a lot of core Metallica
33:19
fans hated that album at first but I
33:21
think it's one of my favorites
33:22
personally but I'm not like a DieHard
33:24
Metallica
33:26
guy but I do Like That album hey here's
33:28
a photo of the Metallica sign to Little
33:31
Mountain say to Little Mountain 91
33:35
Metallica right there a couple other
33:38
photos of AOS Smith out in front there
33:41
and then also I guess around the back
33:43
they had a pic table that everyone kind
33:44
of signed and people would show up
33:46
hoping that they would see their
33:47
favorite bands come out of the recording
33:49
studio and it used to be in this alley
33:52
behind the back here
33:59
it's kind of amazing to think
33:59
about how many artists walked in and out
34:03
of this back door over here that door or
34:07
that door could have been either one and
34:08
then I'm standing here might have been
34:10
the first bay door it might have been
34:12
the first elephant door I don't really
34:13
know for sure but either way pretty
34:15
pretty cool story about Lars and all
34:18
them loading in there or maybe at the
34:20
time maybe both of them were
34:22
connected you never know it could have
34:24
been a whole whole thing
34:25
here but right here is where the minivan
34:28
AOS Smith got out of when they were
34:29
recording pump in that
34:36
documentary all right on to the next
34:36
place I ordered another Uber just pulled
34:38
up going to go back to the hotel relax a
34:40
little bit and then get in the rental
34:41
car and do other
34:49
things all right cruising to the next
34:49
spot in the rental car
34:59
over here in a neighborhood now in an
34:59
apartment building that Michael J fox
35:02
start Teen Wolf Family Ties Back to the
35:05
Future and the Cavalcade of other films
35:08
commercials Etc lived
35:15
at when he was very young from 1971 to
35:15
1979 he moved to LA when he was
35:18
17 and he lived and grew up in his
35:21
formable
35:22
years right here at the Middle Gate
35:27
Apartments
35:29
I think when the ages of me when I
35:32
was you know nine eight or n years old
35:35
to 17 all those are formidable memories
35:39
for me so I can imagine get some fond
35:41
memories of this place I saw Back to the
35:44
Future when I was 11 years old I was
35:46
born in 74 1985 Back to the Future came
35:49
out so that would have been kind of
35:51
around the time frame of age bracket
35:54
that he was living
35:56
here he lived right right here in this
35:59
neighborhood and evidently this is a
36:00
newer section here but there was like a
36:03
strip mall with a big open area that he
36:06
would play street hockey at reading some
36:14
interviews on the outskirts of
36:14
Vancouver of course these are newer
36:16
buildings he would not have had this
36:17
view we forgot our umbrellas back at the
36:20
hotel so we're now standing out in the
36:22
rain in front of Michael Jay's
36:26
former apartment which is interesting
36:28
it's called middlegate Apartments but
36:29
it's spelled with only one
36:35
D how you feel standing
36:35
here it's a little wild the boy who grew
36:38
up to be Marty McFly grew up right here
36:41
in this neighborhood pretty
36:45
wild I'm sure back when he was that
36:47
young he had no idea what his future
36:49
would become no not over here he
36:57
would oh you know what this might have
36:57
been where a pool was this looks like a
37:00
pool that was like filled
37:02
in 100% you could have got a young
37:05
Michael J swimming some laps in
37:15
there working on his backstroke or just
37:15
maybe doing some
37:17
waiting pretty cool I do not know which
37:21
apartment he lived in but there is some
37:22
speculation but no no official
37:24
confirmation but this is it also
37:29
the town the suburb of we call it a
37:31
suburb of
37:32
Vancouver what's it called Barnaby
37:34
Barnaby Barnaby Burnaby bnab Burnaby
37:39
they named a theater after him so we're
37:41
going to go by there and of course the
37:43
theater's name is the Michael J Fox
37:51
Theater he was on a TV show when he was
37:51
16
37:53
here and then he moved to LA when he was
37:56
17
38:02
and I believe he got his start and he
38:02
would go to a Pioneer Chicken and use
38:04
the pay phone at the pioner chicken to
38:06
get his gigs i' I always read that in
38:08
the rest is history Family Ties and on
38:10
from what I was reading this was built
38:11
in 93 and then they honored Michael Jay
38:14
with the name in
38:17
95 the theater's been here in his name
38:19
for 20 years but been in
38:35
down mjf Michael J
38:35
fox pretty cool I think they have
38:37
anything inside that has Michael Jay's
38:41
uh they're having a SpongeBob musical
38:43
art Showcase in here and stepping inside
38:46
there's a little bit of information the
38:50
contributors it looks like Michael
38:51
contributed quite a bit of his own money
38:53
as
38:53
well and ask if there's any photos or
38:56
anything of him in there and they were
38:57
doing a show inside the auditorium so we
38:59
couldn't go in there and they said no
39:01
but they just at least Bears his name so
39:05
pretty neat that they did that in the
39:07
same town that he grew up
39:09
in all right moving along I think we're
39:11
going to go grab uh we're going to grab
39:13
some food grab a bite to eat somewhere
39:14
all right we decided against poutin
39:16
today because this is a soup kind of day
39:19
with the
39:20
weather bahong Vietnamese cuisine beef
39:24
noodle soup I call it Fox but you really
39:27
pry F it's
39:30

39:52
we got some spring rolls too so spring
39:54
rolls also went along with the F got f
39:58
it's my usual go-to which is Chicken F I
40:01
will say I prefer when it's very thinly
40:03
sliced F where this one was not as
40:07
thinly sliced as I prefer it but it was
40:09
still pretty good nonetheless always
40:11
like a a good broth and a noodle soup
40:13
and all
40:16
that polishing off the day with a nice
40:19
meal it's raing I should probably get in
