2:31
College Chapman here in orange back to
2:36
the contents of what's inside notice on
2:39
the far right I have some some very
2:41
sought-after wipes that I will be movie
2:44
I don't know if I should even be
2:45
announcing that that's gonna be on my
2:48
person because that is a that's
2:50
something that's very rare these days on
2:54
the far left there I have my battery
2:55
backup for my phone and down here is a
3:00
GoPro Hero 4 which I will be mounting an
3:03
aside the bicycle and also fits in the
3:09
bag is this walk which I have yet to
3:12
pick a combination for and a miniature
3:15
air pump just in case I will probably
3:17
shift the location of the camera around
3:19
quite a bit but the most prominent spot
3:23
will be here I kind of tilt it as it
3:27
needs to be that light down there kinda
3:28
looks like something you'd see on a
3:30
submarine right
3:55
even everything one thing I like about
3:55
being in this area are the classic
3:58
Mobile's
3:59
they're just hanging around cruising
4:01
around the circle and parked on the
4:03
cross streets the classic Miata used to
4:06
be perched up there on the far left and
4:08
rods there's a liquor stores pretty
4:11
fantastic places here for a long time
4:13
but a sense closed divider odds
4:24
used to be an old-school ice machine
4:24
right there and parts of it are still
4:26
tucked away in that section that was the
4:31
former entry point I think you get soda
4:33
a basically like a little convenience
4:35
store as well
4:55
there are a lot of great old murals down
4:58
here promotional material for former
5:02
products you're painting on the side of
5:04
this brick owl cigars in this alley one
5:08
of my favorites in this in this
5:09
neighborhood I am happy to see quite a
5:12
few people out enjoying their day
5:15
practicing social distancing but taking
5:20
in the fountain
5:27
beautiful
5:27
normally there is no parking to speak of
5:31
through this thoroughfare about maybe a
5:34
quarter of the establishments are open
5:37
at the moment one of them that is not is
5:44
tiddlywinks
5:49
which you might recognize a storefront
5:49
from that thing you do
6:06
up there on the side it says Bank of
6:09
Italy painted on the brick and we do
6:13
still have an old school record store
6:16
here as well mr. C's you'll notice a few
6:20
of these places have been repurposed as
6:22
gas station is now a restaurant and
6:26
Theatre is now a church building pretty
6:34
nice ambience with the birds chirpin
7:17
right here in this courtyard at the
7:17
University
7:24
there's mr. Chapman mr. Charles Chapman
7:24
who the school was named after the
7:27
founder and this entrance dumps back out
7:31
to glass ow that's the cross streets
7:35
there which is where you will find a
7:38
place that I frequent pretty often
7:40
rudabeh doors back when I lived here in
7:44
2015 I would pay a visit regularly and I
7:48
still do now that I'm back from late
7:52
last year into this year they're
7:55
currently not open though not even for
7:57
take-out this is good news however their
7:59
Tustin location which is a too far away
8:02
is open for take-out I've got to keep
8:04
that in mind
8:06
haven't been to the Tustin one but maybe
8:09
I'll have to check it out speaking of
8:11
renovating old gas station there is a
8:14
coffee shop popping up called Phil's ph
8:17
IL z which are starting to become a
8:19
little more prominent I'm starting to
8:22
see a more and more it's not a camera
8:25
shop anymore but the the vintage signage
8:27
is still there above the door frame as
8:30
is
8:31
Jewellery neon Bernays is still a
8:35
jewelry shop to this day here's another
8:37
piece of fantastic goodness this
8:40
printing side even has the neon bulbs
8:44
protruding out kind of rusting away with
8:48
they're still there down here at the end
8:50
is a painting of an orange normally
8:53
there are a lot of people seated and all
8:54
these tables are placed around you see
8:56
the orange a lot better and get a good
8:58
photo opportunity
8:59
currently stamps and off are these spots
9:02
reserved only for pickup for those
9:04
ordering from Watson's soda fountain
9:09
this location used in many many feature
9:12
films exterior and interior fun fact in
9:17
front of the Civic Center just off to
9:21
the side is the original fountain they
9:25
used to sit in the circle
9:28
but across from the library this used to
9:31
be about a block away in its original
9:34
spot and there is a placard down here to
9:37
signify that information it's also a
9:41
nice little conversation piece some
9:43
refer to it as a circle and some call it
9:47
the plaza it depends on who you talk to
9:55
if you're looking for very impressive
9:55
root systems look no further than this
9:58
tree its base the roots are very
10:03
prevalent provides a lot of shade
10:08
look at the passer buying cars going by
10:11
you just see how expansive this is
10:33
it isn't war Rotel mor eto n Bey fig
10:33
tree planted in 1875 Wow seen this many
10:39
times but did not recall of its age a
10:43
sudden beam coming down you find these
10:47
of this magnitude from time to time in
10:49
this area but gosh that one is that is
10:53
look at that thing I just want to make
10:56
sure I'm following the rules correctly
10:57
even though the playground equipment
10:59
fitness centers and sports courts are
11:02
closed
11:03
it states parks are still a great place
11:06
for residents to walk with their
11:08
families and pets while maintaining
11:10
social distance so this sidewalk through
11:14
the park is allowed and accessible no
11:18
picnicking that would constitute as a
11:21
gathering I believe now it's 10 or more
11:25
10 or more is not allowed so less than
11:27
10 people and
11:42
on the subject of very large trees that
11:42
used to be one right here I was
11:44
incredible this must have fallen either
11:47
from a storm or has been uprooted for
11:50
other reasons now it's just a planner
11:52
with a new tree
11:53
maybe stemming from the old one
11:56
beginning quite a few riders are out in
12:01
this parking lot which is unaccessible
12:04
to automobiles normally very full it's
12:08
also a flood drainage area and I have
12:12
seen some rapid waters coming through
12:14
this little section before you wouldn't
12:21
think it to look at it out but this can
12:23
be some very high velocity what I'm
12:33
looking for is on the other side of this
12:35
bridge I came from that direction and I
12:39
believe I'm in Santa Ana now they all
12:42
kind of run together they're all
12:43
basically twin towns twin cities if you
12:45
will Orange Anaheim Santa Ana and a
12:49
variety of others but I'm going that way
12:53
rest assured the cycle not experience
12:57
that I will not experience the same
13:03
events that took place right here
13:23
I'm having flashbacks was up this very
13:23
pathway did I Traverse thinking I'm
13:34
about to do something really ignorant
13:39
and I did let me recreating that again
13:46
even going down on this decision
14:00
I know I passed it a handful of times
14:03
but for one reason or another I did not
14:05
know or at least remember that there is
14:09
an archery range right here next to the
14:12
train tracks and bike paths there goes
14:16
the Metrolink
14:17
commuter train going by if you are
14:21
familiar with the movie Big Momma's
14:23
House
14:25
this was the home used in the film right
14:29

14:34
is an enjoyable feeling and that's gonna

14:53
fact that there will now be a new
14:54
bicycle and I won't be taking that
14:57
backpack with me and future endeavors I
15:01
