I'm gonna head that direction
0:26

0:36

0:45
when you walk that street I'm inviting
0:47
you to join me
0:50
shall we
0:52
from one parking structure to another
0:55
I'm now at the Hollywood and Highland
0:57
structure
0:58
had to go down a couple levels under the
1:00
catacombs of P4
1:02
painted green I always Park here it's
1:05
like fifteen twenty dollars for the full
1:06
day not too bad you can just come back
1:08
whenever yeah this is my old stomping
1:10
ground I lived here for two years right
1:12
off the boulevard not exactly on the
1:13
boulevard like half a block off 2017 and
1:16
2018-ish I went up one level it's kind
1:19
of interesting to see how things change
1:21
over time like this whole building right
1:23
here is not being utilized this whole
1:24
floor is not being utilized but for a
1:27
while it was a candy store called sweets
1:29
but I believe Elvira had a pop-up store
1:31
and then later RuPaul had a pop-up store
1:33
and it stretched all the way down here
1:35
oh you can still see parts of the candy
1:37
store you can see the Wonka right up top
1:40
there but right through here this door
1:42
was where a couple of those pop-up
1:44
stores were and so this is like just off
1:47
to the side of the Chinese Theater where
1:48
the famous hand prints are right here
1:50
this used to play music you would walk
1:52
up the side of these stairs that has the
1:55
the piano keys and you would put your
1:58
foot right here and it would play
2:00
whatever particular note this was the it
2:02
hasn't worked in a heck of a long I
2:04
think it worked for like the first year
2:05
when I lived right off the boulevard but
2:07
since then it's basically been broken it
2:10
hasn't worked at all also secret
2:12
staircase you got the staircase here and
2:14
look at the Staircase to Nowhere you
2:17
started at the bottom and walked up you
2:18
would run right into this
2:21
and this is going to be basically just a
2:23
walk down memory lane or less of kind of
2:26
the old days really have no game plan
2:27
whatsoever I'm just kind of winging it
2:29
and just seeing where the where the day
2:31
takes me Spiderman right there in front
2:34
of the iconic the famous the Monumental
2:36
Chinese Theater right next to Michael
2:39
Bay's hand and Footprints here Billy
2:41
Crystal's over here from 2019 Lily
2:44
Tomlin of course from 995 Ethan Hawke
2:47
Kevin Smith Jason Muse they're just all
2:50
kind of crammed in here Ridley Scott
2:51
over here it's like the Avengers over
2:54
here in this corner this was really
2:56
painstakingly recreated very well at
2:58
Disney's Hollywood Studios almost a
3:00
one-for-one scale if I believe temper
3:04
right here Sam Elliott Warren Beatty
3:08
over here
3:09
zemeckis and you'll notice a lot of
3:12
these hand prints will have two Sid on
3:15
them so you got you got Jack Nicholson
3:16
here you got Jane Fonda BC suit two Sid
3:19
so this used to be uh the grahman's
3:22
Chinese Theater the Sid grahaman they
3:24
have changed the name since then but you
3:26
can see here a lot of the old hand
3:28
prints from like 1928 dear Sid that one
3:31
even says deer said
3:34
but it's gone through different names a
3:36
little Chinese Theater but no longer the
3:38
grandma China is here we've got Kirk
3:39

3:56
camera thank you Ron Howard from in
3:59
front and behind the camera okay I
4:00
misread that who is this here is that

Jim Carrey I think that might be Jim
4:04
Carrey maybe not I can't tell who that
4:07
is to be honest with you it might be
4:08
maybe yeah I think that might be Jim
4:11
Carrey merrily merrily merrily 95.
4:13
that's it that's interesting why he
4:14
would write merrily merrily merrily and
4:16
then Robin Williams you got a couple
4:18
comedians here you got Tom Hanks over
4:21
here who started off kind of as a lot a
4:23

8:30
quite a bit of construction out here it
8:32
looks like Dolly Parton is covered up
8:34
and you know one thing it's like before
8:35
I ever moved here before I ever came to
8:37
Hollywood I thought it was going to be
8:38
all pristine and clean kind of like the
8:40
show in the movies it's not it's a lot
8:42
of trash a lot of dirt I don't even know
8:44
if they even pressure washed these on a
8:46
nightly basis anymore yeah this street
8:48
has a big piece of my heart for two
8:50
years I lived here for the first seven
8:52
months of that I didn't even have a car
8:54
so I would walk up and down Hollywood
8:57
Boulevard so I got to know the street
8:59
really really well this bookstore here I
9:01
highly recommend is called Larry Edmonds
9:04
they have a lot of old scripts in there
9:06
a lot of old posters all kinds of books
9:08
it used to be located a little farther
9:10
down the street used to be down that way
9:12
before my time but now it is here
9:15
there's a lot of really great stuff in
9:16
there if you want old Hollywood books
9:18
this place is a treasure Trove no shirt
9:20
no shoes no dies they have the they have
9:24
the the quote on the front from Fast
9:25
Times on the front of it as well learn
9:27
it know it
9:29
live it yeah that's a great place
9:34
there's an old Crest store here still
9:36
has the crest sign right there but it
9:39
hasn't been open in a while this
9:40
historic building is the Hollywood toys
9:43
costumes
9:45
a spot
9:47
we always got the costumes in the window
9:49
the old Billboards up there and the
9:51
spider
9:52
right there on the side see the big
9:54
spider that's like crawling
9:56
look at these spotlights you know what
9:58
I've never noticed these spotlights
10:00
before I don't even know if they even
10:01
work if they're even on even though
10:04
there is video monitoring and progress
10:06
sometimes I wonder if that's true or not
10:07
yeah right next to a Peewee star in the
10:09
window they have added this little piece
10:13
of art here with him with angel's wings
10:14
that's pretty cool that they have added
10:16
that so his star and right there and in
10:20
front of Chinese Theater is not the only
10:21
place it has hay and Princess hand
10:22
prints over here in front of Hustler as
10:25
well yeah there's Larry flips right
10:27
there well this is a bummer the this
10:28
really historic mural here of all the
10:30
celebrities through time watching the
10:32
movie in the theater has been spray
10:33
painted over and graffitied and all
10:35
tagged up hopefully they repair it but
10:37
right now it is just really kind of
10:39
destroyed also if you look closely you
10:41
can see E.T right up there and a lot of
10:44
the other ones have been covered up like
10:45
through here but yeah you could some of
10:47
us thought some of it is visible but a
10:48
lot of it is spray painted over yeah if
10:50
you want or if I wanted to I could rent
10:51
one of these cruise down the strip or
10:53
even this one right here look at this
10:54
little thing now from here you can see
10:56
the Hollywood sign if you zoom way in
10:58
this is on the corner of Hollywood
11:00
Boulevard at kohanga which has that
11:02
iconic building right here the Julian
11:05
medical building which now has a
11:06
Popeye's Chicken below it it's been
11:08
recreated I think at DCA and then also
11:10
at
11:11
Hollywood Studios and Florida former MGM
11:14
Studios they have the structure that
11:16
they have recreated now right over in
11:17
front of sinful Pizza a taste of sin
11:20
check this out it's one of these like
11:21
robotic food delivery service vehicles
11:23
coming through here it is on delivery
11:26
yeah okay it's going back and forth It's
11:28
stopping I don't know if me standing
11:30
here is delaying it at all but it is
11:31
like it's kind of
11:34
beautiful then it is I don't know why it
11:37
stopped
11:44
all right there it is it's not moving
11:44
though
11:45
stuck there
11:47
there are a lot of great old theaters
11:48
here that aren't really used for
11:49
theaters anymore like the vine across
11:52
the street there but there's a bunch of
11:53
them kind of all down the way that
11:55
aren't really used to what they were
11:57
originally intended to be used for all
11:59
right I'm noticing this this is some
12:01
artwork by Tristan Eaton who did the
12:03
monsters stuff on the back line at
12:05
Universal Studios Hollywood if you've
12:07
ever seen that a couple years ago at hhn
12:09
sometimes they're tough to see if you do
12:11
the tram tool but look at this up here
12:13
there's a Divine mural
12:19
Ferry put Divine up there on the on the
12:21
LA mural
12:26
now this is kind of a deep cut for
12:26
anyone that's been watching my videos
12:28
for a long time but over here on the
12:30
corner of Selma and Argyle where this
12:32
truck trash is piled up around the can
12:35
over there this is where the topiary Pig
12:38
Argyle used to sit I used to show them
12:39
in all my videos
12:41
back in the day it was a topiary Pig
12:43
right here which wasn't in the best of
12:45
health because sometimes I think people
12:46
would climb up on there and and uh
12:49
use him as a facility
12:51
you know what I'm talking about so that
12:53
sometimes he wasn't treated that well
12:55
they eventually got rid of it he was
12:56
right here
12:57
yeah no telling what Argyle is it these
13:00
days
13:01
who knows
13:02
hopefully he's in a better place
13:09
I would walk this route a lot of times
13:09
coming from the store
13:12
back to my apartment so the boulevard is
13:14
right over there one block over there
13:16
has to bring it back some memories
13:17
walking here passing El Centro
13:20
sometimes I wouldn't walk right on the
13:21
boulevard I would just go the next
13:23
street over it was a little quieter walk
13:25
sometimes with groceries
13:26
I was walking back
13:29
I don't know why all this caution tape
13:30
is here
13:36
these PVC pylons
13:36
and if I ever needed to rent a car I
13:37
would go to that Enterprise right there
13:39
which was convenient because I would
13:40
just walk down this road get the car
13:47
drop it off and then walk back as ba
13:47
barracus right there not the
13:49
skateboarder but the van I was right
13:51
here on Carlton
13:53
pretty cool living right here off the
13:54
street with all the palm trees that you
13:57
had very scenic
13:59
textbook Hollywood when you think of La
14:03
you think of palm trees
14:05
corner of Carlton and Bronson and I'll
14:08
talk more about Bronson in a minute
14:11
to my apartment was right there it's the
14:13
taller building of the two but I would
14:15
walk out of my apartment and I would
14:16
look this way and you could see the
14:18
Hollywood sign off in the distance so if
14:20
the trees growing a little higher so you
14:22
walk up the top of the corner there the
14:23
Boulevard and see the Hollywood Sign
14:25
give it a little zoom in
14:30
yep walk out my front door and also I
14:30
can see it from the roof there was like
14:32
a little area on top of the roof like a
14:34
lounge area on top of the apartment
14:35
complex
14:37
but I could just sit up there edit my
14:38
videos on my phone and look at the
14:40
Hollywood sign
14:42
pretty cool it's giving me serious Deja
14:44
Vu Vibes I feel like I'm just walking
14:46
back
14:48
go to my place I remember the code to
14:49
get in this place probably still works
14:51
but I'm not gonna try it
14:57
this was it right here I wasn't facing
14:57
this way
14:58
I was facing the other side kind of in a
15:00
little crevice alley over that way
15:03
then you could go up on the roof as I
15:05
stated
15:06
and I could see Paramount I can see
15:08
downtown LA
15:13
see the Hollywood signs Griffith
15:13
Observatory 5845 I would use that keypad
15:16
walk in take the elevator
15:19
up to my floor this is where I park my
15:21
car first seven months I didn't have a
15:22
car but after I bought a car
15:24
I would pull right down
15:26
into there oh my gosh
15:28
brings back some serious memories yeah
15:31
my apartment was around there kind of
15:34
about towards the end
15:44
in fact when I was living here they were
15:44
building the gates closing they were
15:46
building this one right here that was
15:48
being built and now it's finished
15:55
and I moved from here after two years
15:55
and I moved down to Anaheim for a couple
15:57
years I kind of regret that decision I
15:59
should have just stayed here but you
16:01
know what live and learn right up there
16:02
on the top of that roof was where they
16:04
had like some couches and stuff you
16:05
could sit up there and this is where I'd
16:07
get gas right here 100 hand car wash I
16:10
don't know what that's pointing to but
16:11
right over there we had fuel up when I
16:13
go out for Adventures when I when I had
16:14
my when I did get my car right next to
16:16
the Self Storage was a really great Thai
16:18
place at me and my friend Jordan the
16:20
lion who lived like two blocks from here
16:22
we ate there like probably like a
16:24
hundred times
16:26
I can also thank this Tommy burger over
16:28
here for packing on the helping me pack
16:29
on some pounds from some late night
16:31
chili Burgers also Charles Bronson is
16:34
painted over there on electrical box
16:36
we'll talk about him in a second so as
16:37
The Story Goes Paramount Pictures where
16:39
Charles Bronson worked and did a lot of
16:41
features and movies and shows and things
16:42
like that his last name according to his
16:44
agent was really not something that was
16:46
marketable or pronounceable so he needed
16:48
another last name that was going to be
16:50
more marketable so he walked out of
16:52
Paramount which is just down the way
16:53
right here off Bronson and he goes I'm
16:56
going to be Charles what's the name of
16:58
this road paraphrasing all this Charles
17:00
Bronson so I have a tie-in with Chuck
17:03
Bronson I mean I love his movies and I
17:05
have a time because I live right here in
17:06
the neighborhood that he got the the his
17:08
last name from the name of the road
17:16
and I'll show the new amiibo location
17:16
and I'll walk over to where the old
17:18
amiibo location used to be also the
17:20
Pantages is right over there Hollywood
17:21
and Vine back over here again an
17:23
intersection known the world over it is
17:26
the quote entertainment capital of the
17:29
world located nearby Motion Picture
17:30
Television Productions and recording
17:32
studios right over there Hollywood and
17:35
Vine usually Trader Joe's or Gelson's
17:38
would be the two closest this is kind of
17:41
a cool do you see Hitchcock in there
17:42
look at this take a look
17:44
right there Hitchcock would be proud
17:54
they're pretty cool murals inside the
17:54
Trader Joe's but I would walk from here
17:56
back to my apartment with some food but
17:57
I learned by attempting to film in here
17:59
they would yell at you if you filmed
18:01
inside so the best thing to do is just
18:03
look at these murals from the outside
18:07
they just filmed through the window
18:09
which was always confusing they had
18:11
these really awesome paintings and
18:12
murals inside Trader Joe's here but they
18:15
didn't want them they didn't want to
18:16
film
18:20
the start of Paramount Pictures right
18:21
here on this quarter Selma and Vine
18:25
so Hollywood Boulevard has the stars but
18:27
Vine Street does as well
18:30
yeah Paramount Pictures started right
18:32
here a little placard
18:34
the beginnings of Hollywood this
18:36
location Selma having by serves as the
18:38
headquarters for Paramount
18:40
film company
18:41
Jesse Lasky feature play company right
18:44
up there and if you go over to the
18:46
Hollywood Bowl
18:51
building that is on well actually go
18:51
around the other way I thought it was
18:53
two-sided this building still exists
18:55
over by the Hollywood Bowl in the
18:56
parking lot of Hollywood Bowl
19:03
that bar and the site
19:04
they moved it from here over there the
19:07
site where the first feature of ocean
19:08
first feature length motion picture was
19:10
filmed Cecil B DeMille which is pretty
19:12
neat to think about Hollywood began
19:14
Motion Picture industry right back there
19:17
where Trader Joe's is now on that corner
19:19
pretty wild to think about
19:26
walking up to Sunset now
19:26
this used to be my bank
19:31
man this used to be a Starbucks now it's
19:31
a Chipotle
19:33
kind of curious of the Cinerama Dome is
19:34
out reopened back up and it does not
19:37
look like it is the historic
19:40
Cinerama Dome the ArcLight Cinemas
19:43
posted lots of movie premieres in fact I
19:45
believe E.T premiered here
19:47
and before they extended it out with
19:49
restaurants over there there's an
19:51
interview with Drew Young Drew Barrymore
19:52
over there on that corner
19:54
but this thing has been shuttered and
19:57
closed up
19:58
for a long time just kind of boarded up
20:00
I saw a movie here where my mom came to
20:03
visit me the last showman I think that
20:05
circus movie she wanted to see it so we
20:07
came down walked down the boulevard
20:10
and saw a movie in here that might have
20:12
been the only movie I ever saw in here
20:14
there were some premieres here
20:16
there was a Andre the Giant documentary
20:19
that premiered here and there was a lot
20:21
of wrestlers
20:23
out front yeah the classic Cinerama
20:26
Theater
20:28
just boarded up
20:31
for whatever reason this historic thing
20:33
has not reopened what the heck Hollywood
20:36
history all boarded up here
20:45
Marquee up there
20:45
historic very famous
20:48
on a spherical Dome on top and looks as
20:51
if the Jack in the Box over there which
20:53
was really an experience a late night
20:55
treat at the Jack In The Box on Sunset
20:57
if anyone
20:59
has ever been in there they know it
21:01
needs no explanation of how that Jack in
21:03
the Box was late night hours even during
21:06
the day and right over here was the old
21:08
location now it's called The Lighthouse
21:10
this used to be where Amoeba Records
21:13
used to be right here now it's now it's
21:16
moved yeah went in that amoeba many many
21:19
many times
21:26
I'm glad they moved I mean I'm glad they
21:26
didn't just completely close
21:34
it's like the old Jack in the Box is now
21:34
a public parking or it was
21:36
kind of see the old building right there
21:38
but it's all boarded up here now the
21:42
public parking is over this way oh yeah
21:46
get a really good Peak here there it is
21:47
you can definitely see how that was a
21:50
Jack In The Box
21:51
now it's just used for parking you can
21:53
even see the Jack-in-the-Box colors over
21:54
there oh yeah
21:56
there's some Vibes in that place
21:58
oh and of course Trejo's tacos over
22:01
there which I went to Trejo's many many
22:03
times
22:05
you need coffee here on the corner of
22:07
Selma I like that slogan so evidently
22:10
yeah this is I remember this spot so
22:13
Jordan told me about this place
22:15
so look how many artists recorded here
22:18
at this studio
22:20
I learned a lot from Jordan the lion
22:22
when he lived here I knew some things he
22:24
didn't know he knew a lot of things I
22:26
didn't know so we kind of like we kind
22:28
of feed off information from each other
22:30
and he would kind of share me stuff like
22:32
this so this is kind of interesting that
22:34
all these artists recorded inside this
22:37
building right here on Selma now used as
22:41
like a cafe coffee shop
22:44
so much Hollywood history
22:47
if you're familiar with Buster Keaton I
22:49
covered this years and years ago in
22:50
great detail but this is just one of the
22:52
Buster Keaton spots there's a famous
22:54
Buster Keat movie also this store and
22:57
magazine store has clothes check it out
22:58
chaplain Keaton Lloyd alley they
23:01
actually do show it here they actually
23:02
do signify it which I don't think was
23:04
here before right here on kohanga there
23:06
is a famous Buster Keaton moment where
23:09
he's being chased out by the police and
23:12
he grabs onto a car and gets yanked that
23:14
way he gets easily the look up just look
23:16
up
23:16
Buster Keaton Chase
23:19
scene and all that and it was right here
23:21
in this alley looks a little bit
23:22
different but the alley is separated by
23:24
the same one and the camera was over
23:26
there the car was there and he grabs
23:28
onto the vehicle gets yanked off that
23:30
way and then they all the Chasers are
23:31
all here and they all pile on top of
23:33
each other
23:34
but take a look at this this has been
23:35
added since the last time I really paid
23:37
attention to this little Alleyway
23:38
chaplain Keaton Lloyd alley right there
23:41
all of these three of the greatest
23:43
comedies of all time were filmed in part
23:44
of the west alley from cohenga to Cosmo
23:47
all of these right here pretty neat
23:49
safety last
23:51
cops and the kid all right here in this
23:55
very alley now when I was here before
23:57
and I kind of showed this in a little
23:59
more detail you could actually walk in
24:01
here now they've got to put this whole
24:02
fence up I remember bars being on these
24:04
windows back over at the golden arches
24:07
and Buster corner of Hollywood
24:19
s almost turned into like a regular flea
24:19
market through here now look at street

Hollywood and Highland which is where
25:36
