4:05
yesterday I mentioned yesterday's video
4:07
I showed the Eight Mile sign and I
4:10
didn't really know if that's where the
4:11
movie was based on that road because the
4:13
roads are just someone coming through
4:15
with some mattresses yeah someone's got
4:16
some new mattresses new matched so Eight
4:18
Mile the road is where they got the name
4:20
of the movie Eight Mile yes and Eminem
4:22
lived above Eight Mile he lived below
4:25
Eminem did not live so much in a trailer
4:27
park like in the movie the movie's Lucy
4:28
basin's like he lived more than houses
4:30
all right he lived on Navarro he lived I
4:33
if you ever want to go to my channel
4:35
got on tape on YouTube yeah I didn't
4:37
either you've done some deep dots a deep
4:39
dive is Eminem So yeah lots of he lived
4:42
in lots of places but yeah the movie's
4:43
based surrounding Mile and you're gonna
4:44
take me to a food establishment that's
4:46
kind of kind of has to do with him and
4:48
have lighter that's what we're going to
4:49
end up we're gonna end there yeah
4:51
another food assassin Gilbert's Lodge
4:52
where he used to work we're gonna go by
4:54
there no
4:56
there is a pay phone right here and an
4:59
old looks like an old bar that was
5:01
covered in Ivy
5:13

5:16
nice open for business
5:26

6:30
illusion because I'm in the fourth round
6:31

7:46

7:48
home of the Whopper
7:51
there might be some left in there I'm
7:53
sure they're still good I like that you
7:54
have the Detroit hat on the on the dash
7:56
here represent
7:59
but you're from Canada all right Scott
8:01
got really excited we pulled over he
8:02
found the house from the film still on
8:05
Eight Mile for a little while
8:07
now we're way south of England but it's
8:09
a movie the movie this is where he kind
8:13
of gives the middle finger to his
8:14
friends with her drop them off yeah
8:16
cheddar Bob's house is not uh another
8:18
care of the film his house is not too
8:19
far from here that was in the movie what
8:21
is this building next to it it's
8:22
beautiful whatever it is like a big
8:23
ornate church right there all right
8:25
we've crossed over onto Bell Island
8:29
and I noticed this whole boat right here
8:36
oh and here's a here's an Easter egg or
8:36
a clue for like a look at this
8:38
look at that that is cool
8:41
number four it's
8:44
mc2782 is the number there on the the
8:47
front of the boat across the shore
8:49
that's Canada over there
8:52
which part of Canada is that where you
8:54
live you live in that building right
8:55
there
8:55
three up three or over Down the Roof
8:59
then drive
9:00
four hours so you got a pretty good roof
9:02
view now well this is the anchor I will
9:05
tell you this is the anchor for the
9:06
amethyst girl but it's not the anchor
9:07
that was on the a part of the boat when
9:10
it sank this anchor fell off a year
9:13
before The Edmond Fitzgerald tank so the
9:14
anchor that's why the Anchor's here
9:16
that's and they were able to salvage it
9:19
but yeah
9:27
so here they are raising the anchor in
9:27
1992 and sorry Adams interrupt that's
9:29
the Detroit River I forgot to say the
9:31
Detroit River yes
9:34
by the evening of 1974 anchor the
9:36
Detroit River Bell
9:38
aisle Anchorage 800 feet off
9:40
ryapel Street the Renaissance Center
9:44
uh resistance is straight ahead if you
9:46
can't see so this anchor here yeah look
9:48
at it it is this anchor here
10:00
all right this is pretty wild there's an
10:00
old like a carnival slide over here
10:03
ticket booth and gate closes 30 minutes
10:06
prior to the slide closing I don't
10:09
believe this is open anymore it could be
10:13
but it does not look like it is quite
10:15
operational Perhaps it is it's just not
10:18
not open at the moment but this looks
10:20
like it's seen better days and no longer
10:22
in use maybe it has I don't know it's a
10:24
place over here called Mr Fish and
10:27
Seafood
10:31
I don't know if Mr fish might be the
10:31
owner
10:32
or maybe Mr Fish and seafood though I
10:35
miss the fish
10:46
it's like an eyeball right there
10:49
all right these little sewage tubes that
10:51
have been painted
10:53
got the skyline Detroit skyline over
11:04
Brewster wheeler Recreation Center yes
11:04
now Adam yes when you okay first of all
11:07
by the way Eminem stuff we should also
11:09
say Eminem did not invent Detroit
11:11
hip-hop
11:12
it's been around for a long time 80s 90s
11:15
right big artists coming out and like
11:17
Regional like stuff like in California
11:19
like NWA was not popular in New York for
11:22
a long time California J
11:24
dilla Smiley uh street board lots of
11:27
hip-hop bands from the 90s in Detroit so
11:29
shout out to them but when you think of
11:31
Detroit what kind of music do you think
11:34
rap
11:36
other than rap Joe Lewis trained it was
11:39
a boxing gym this was a library when it
11:42
first opened then it became a Rec Center
11:43
so Joe Lewis
11:45
trained here and The Supremes Diana Ross
11:49
Supreme I know them they use this as a
11:51
rehearsal space no kidding so before
11:54
Motown this is where it got started
11:57
so this is pre Motown this is primo town
12:01
Diana Ross of The Supremes practice
12:03
right in there yeah 1917 I believe this
12:06
Brilliance and it's now being repurposed
12:07
the city's taking offers I read but no
12:10
takers but look how close is to downtown
12:13
like it's been run down by Joe Lewis man
12:20
so it was a makeshift boxing yeah right
12:20
center inside and a practice space
12:23
for a lot of artists
12:26
I would have never guessed that right
12:27
just driving by it
12:29
I was thinking this is where the rap
12:31
battles were for me oh this is now we're
12:33
gonna get into some Motown stuff now
12:35
we're gonna do some Motown yeah my
12:36
entire life I never knew
12:38
why it was called Motown motor Town
12:41
Motor City
12:49
learn something new we are now over in
12:49
Hamtramck place called Smalls right here
12:53
which I have a little memory of and many
12:55
years ago a decade ago been in a few
12:57
different Punk fans but I was in a band
12:58
that played here I was gonna play bass
13:01
for a band called gutter mouth in
13:03
Southern California and we were on tour
13:05
with agent orange we played in here I
13:08
believe it was October 2013 and where
13:11
the bands would load in including myself
13:13
and the other bands
13:16
was right around the corner so we had
13:18
our our van parked right over there
13:20
and the bass player you know I had
13:23
always heard things about Detroit you
13:24
just got to kind of be careful in
13:25
certain areas and something happened
13:27
right over here by this door yeah and
13:28
you can see some of the stickers that
13:30
are on here not seeing any of the Bands
13:32
play I mean I've been 10 years ago
13:34
basically right over here at this door
13:36
is where the bands would like load in
13:38
and out of right there was that even
13:40
open
13:41
yeah I can't even tell if it's open so
13:43
basically the bass player from agent
13:45
orange their band was like right here
13:48
and he walked out and someone said give
13:52
me give me your money and give me your
13:54
wallet and give me your phone so he just
13:56
had to like hand the hand it off right
13:58
there just two feet from the door felt
14:00
pretty bad for him just like just like
14:02
that walked out had to go back out to
14:04
the car was trying to get something from
14:06
the van it was right here and just like
14:08
that had his possession just taken from
14:10
him is it before or after the game
14:11
before or after what it was before the
14:14
gig yeah they hadn't even played yet
14:16
still played though still played yeah
14:17
super nice guy
14:19
bass player agent I didn't even realize
14:22
that Burke's Igloo across the street
14:24
over here
14:25
that's that that's the impression I have
14:27
of Detroit until that was the last time
14:29
I was in Detroit
14:36
anyway just uh it's just interesting
14:36
little tie in
14:37
right over here at Smalls is this the
14:39
Detroit skyline right here or is this
14:41
the Hamtramck
14:43
definitely not having hammock probably
14:44
Detroit yeah I guess so this was painted
14:46
in 2020 and speaking of alleys Scott has
14:50
brought me to a Hamtramck alley well I
14:53
know I've seen a couple of years one or
14:55
two I think I skimmed through
14:57
um it's Alan the woo right great you
15:01
like Disney right occasionally yeah on a
15:04
rare occasion welcome to hamtramck's
15:06
Disneyland
15:08
in an alley in an alley
15:11
so this guy
15:13
built all this dimitro yeah this guy
15:15
right here sly
15:18
Slack
15:19
am I pronouncing that correct dimitro
15:23
passed away Sizzla sizzlak passed away
15:26
2015.
15:28
no I feel like I'm at like Pee-wee's
15:30
Playhouse right now right
15:32
look at this so it's in like his
15:34
backyard
15:35
yep 30 years you worked on this and uh
15:38
yeah you died at 92 years I see Mickey
15:41
right here yeah
15:47
so they're all sorts of crazy stuff you
15:47
just put this all together
15:53
look at this there he is
15:53
unique Contraption spin whirl and
15:55
retirees backyard
16:04
so it's not being torn down
16:04
but yeah since you're hearing over time
16:06
and they're planning to reconstruct some
16:08
of it that's what the science and I was
16:09
reading about that too oh there's a
16:11
there's a building permit up there so
16:12
they're doing something
16:22
this is great
16:22
yeah look at all this stuff
16:28
okay it says they welcome visitors yeah
16:28
but to ensure safety in the Privacy
16:30
attendance please do not enter the yard
16:32
unless accompanied by a member yeah I've
16:35
only seen I've never been inside if you
16:37
go on the street side it says probably
16:38
keep out proceed to Alley so they want
16:41
they want you to come around to the app
16:43
yeah but I've never seen anybody working
16:45
or whatever
16:47
this is awesome
16:50
it's also interesting that he actually
16:52
used the name Disneyland and still I was
16:56
able to is that incorporated
16:57
it might be frowned upon with a
16:59
corporation but maybe I mean I'm sure
17:01
they know about it Disney doesn't like
17:03
to litigate
17:06
so it's just this little back area yeah
17:09
but there's really cool stuff on the
17:10
other side it's too bad can you see it
17:12
from the front or no no but look at this
17:14
do you see the skeleton horse
17:17
skeleton horse
17:19
oh wow
17:26
don't think I've seen that at Magic
17:26
Kingdom feed your horses people
17:28
feed your horses
17:33
just hold it
17:33
it's not just a horse it's a unicorn was
17:35
it a unicorn yeah you look great through
17:37
years yeah there's a full there's a well
17:39
not full size but a decent sized plane
17:42
and what's this like a pirate like uh
17:44
Crow's Nest up there or something yeah
17:45
there used to be more stuff on the roof
17:47
and you can see where some of it's gone
17:49
now yeah it used to be much more and
17:51
even over here there's more I remember
17:53
seeing more before but right through
17:55
here you look down and you see that's
17:57
where you would enter from the street
17:59
this horse is up top
18:02
okay yeah so you can see that's the
18:04
street entrance there yeah back when he
18:07
was alive and he would
18:08
oh there's a windmill look at that look
18:10
at the Windmill turning
18:16
yeah it kind of has that like Mary Blair
18:16
inspired small world vibe to it
18:50
over to another little area the road is
18:50
closed this is the corner of Rhode
18:52
Island
18:54
and Oakland
18:57
I almost just tripped over the sandbag
18:59
right here I was like what are you
19:00
paying attention
19:01
now you said I would probably know what
19:03
this is but it's not ringing a bell as
19:05
soon as I walk up is this well let me
19:07
ask you a question filming location yes

21:09
get off my lawn
21:09
classic it's about the only thing you
21:10
can quote from that movie without that's
21:12
true yeah yeah because Walt was not a
21:14
yeah he's an anti-hero it's it's the
21:17
yeah the end of the movie it all pays
21:19
kind of pays off yeah one of the most
21:21
brilliantly made movies
21:23
I mean it's just such a good news he's
21:25
such a great director
21:27

21:56
all right we're now over at the Alfonso
21:56
Wells playground what happened here well
22:00
this wall excuse me Adam this wall see
22:03
this cement wall yeah just separating
22:05
this is a sad part of history of course
22:07
to separate the black neighborhood from
22:09
a whitening so the community was given a
22:11
choice whether to tear it down or not
22:12
whether they take down the wall they
22:14
decided to keep it up and I'm gonna miss
22:16
Clovis
22:17
um
22:18
history loss this history that can be
22:21
repeated sort of thing and also teach
22:23
future
22:24
Generations
22:25
so now it's predominantly
22:27
African-American on both sides of the
22:28
world but yeah it used to separate the
22:30
white neighborhood from the black
22:31
neighborhood which is unbelievable to
22:33
think was it always painted this way no
22:35
the community has painted this uh there
22:37
should be some yeah there's Rosa right
22:39
there good boss
22:42
and it just goes on down here so
22:44
basically a concrete wall
22:53
so yeah this would be the north side
22:53
that's going towards all right we're now
22:55
over to another location yeah corner of
22:58

29:39
house for the parties that existed now
29:41
look at that little house right there
29:42
see it to the left yes that's a pool
29:45
house do you know what famous band
29:46
auditioned for Barry Gordy right in
29:49
oh
29:50
The Supremes plus sort of clothes we've
29:54
talked about this gentleman a couple of
29:55
times today Michael Jackson The Jackson
29:57
Five that's where they auditioned in
29:59
there in that in that building all right
30:02
just talk to the owner who is very very
30:05
very kind gave us all kind of
30:07
information very friendly owner so
30:09
there's a bowling alley in the pool
30:11
house underneath the pool in the pool
30:13
house or the pool still in there it's
30:16
not filled with water
30:18
and it's been covered up by the previous
30:19
owner right put like a wooden floor over
30:22
it but he wants to like remodel it and
30:24
bring the pool back at some point and
30:25
put a glass floor over it he was like
30:27
the nicest guy ever just walked out and
30:29
and he talked to us for like 20 minutes
30:30
I mean this is Detroit man people are
30:34
really friendly to talk they love their
30:36
City that's what I love about it I mean
30:38
you don't get that very often yeah this
30:40
is definitely not Boone definitely not
30:41
Boone Colorado says he also has photos
30:44
when Michael returned
30:46
later in life
30:48
of Michael in there
30:50
so he's like a little stand where
30:52
Michael Jackson stood inside the pool
30:54
house
30:55
it's pretty neat and the amount he said
30:57
he paid for this property was way less
31:01
than I thought it would be wow
31:08
I guess the prices of houses in Detroit
31:08
considerably less than LA or Orlando
31:16
so right here is the Motown Museum
31:16
Motown USA they got something going on
31:19
at the moment take a look there it is
31:21
they got the historical placard on and
31:23
everything next spot
31:36
check out this bridge over here
31:36
very unique looking Bridge
31:38
and you got these houses over here it's
31:40
closed down houses this is all wait and
31:42
see University all around us
31:52
so many so when Motown was full the
31:52
studio was full they came here
31:54
what's going on my Marvin Gaye recorded
31:56

until a few years ago Chili Peppers yeah
32:05
Chili Peppers
32:08
Johnny Ray Dizzy Gillespie
32:11
Alberta Adams
32:36
all right I'm gonna go off memory here
32:36
and I might be completely incorrect on
32:38
this guy okay because you're not here's
32:40
a train going by down there too and a
32:42
Truck
32:43
bus
32:46
True Romance
32:48
right I'm not sure about that is this
32:51
the True Romance spot I don't think so
32:54
this is the first four plants I know but
32:56
there's a scene in True Romance
32:58
where he's coming out with his dog in
33:01
Detroit I think it's this no really
33:09
maybe not okay what tell me we'll find
33:09
we're gonna find that spot though yeah
33:11
because I thought there was only two
33:12
scenes from True Romance in Detroit
33:13
there's more than that really oh yeah
33:16
another one two okay
33:18
well this is the first four plants the
33:20
Model T right here
33:23
the Model T was created here yeah
33:27
look at this
33:28
this reminded me though
33:31
okay all right come back to that later
33:38
of course Henry Ford did not invent the
33:38
automobile he did not invent the uh
33:40
assembly line for the cars to go through
33:42
but he perfected them
33:44
he was a perfectionist yeah he made them
33:47
it's where the movie assembly line was
33:49
implemented right here in this building
33:51
yeah it had already been invented but he
33:52
was incredible
34:17
all right we're gonna try to go over
34:18
that True Romance spot but in Eight Mile
34:20
where the food truck was
34:23
right here right probably in this
34:24
general area and this is where the
34:27
the rap battle took place
34:33
that kind of look looking that way
34:33
a what sorry screenshot while you're
34:35
looking see
34:41
that's what it looked like
34:41
it's called new Detroit stamping that
34:43
sign is gone but the orange doors are
34:46
now gray right over there it says MFG
34:48
day okay heading towards the Packard
34:50
plant now
34:55
I'm gonna try to find that one true um
34:55
True Romance but I don't know how
34:56
accessible
35:03
all right so the angle that you're
35:03
seeing kind of go he closes the gate
35:05
he's got his dog with him he tells the
35:06
dog to get in the car you don't really
35:08
see the water tower but you can
35:10
definitely tell that this is the the
35:12
angle there and the giveaway is this
35:15
angle which they show one wide let's
35:17
talk about True Romance s Hopper
35:19
characters he
35:21
walks across so I'm gonna walk in like
35:25
and there's going to be a giveaway with
35:26
the concrete pylons over here if they go
35:28
at a certain angle then we're not going
35:30
to be able to get up into the plant but
35:32
you can see that little
35:34
a little fire
35:36
on a fire extinguisher but the fire fire
35:38
plug fire hydrant
35:41
and then you kind of see that angle like
35:43
that so this is what it looked like yeah
35:45
right there
35:48
that's the spot
35:50
still has the little concrete pylons and
35:53
everything does it have the uh it has
35:55
even the little fire hose things right
35:57
there that are so you got this door here
36:00
which was like wooden doors there's
36:02
still some partial remnants of it and
36:04
then you got some little security on
36:06
side over there
36:07
and there's the spot right there where
36:09
Dennis Hopper closed the gate put his
36:10
dog in the car
36:17
what was that noise but you'll notice
36:17
next to the car how the concrete pylon
36:19
like angles down
36:21
those angles are still there right there
36:23
see how it kind of angles down at an
36:25
angle like that that's it
36:30
pretty dang cool anyway side note I saw
36:30
the other spot and it reminded me of
36:32
True Romance so I wanted to see the real
36:33
spot
36:44
oh Jimmy Hoffa this is the building you
36:44
worked out of really it's just 299 yeah
36:47
there's a big picture Jimmy Hoffa
36:49

36:52

36:54
here he had a house up by an Osborne or
36:56
Lake Osborne uh somewhere Orion I'm
36:59
sorry if I'm getting the wrong correct
37:01
me in the comments I've done this this
37:02
is where he worked is he up there yeah
37:09
look at him right there there he is they
37:09

37:20
building
37:21

37:23
house the house is not 20 minutes from
37:26

37:48
We're not gonna go by the train station
37:48
over here not accessible to public
37:50
though right no it's closed right now
37:53

37:56
uh and they're repurposing it and even
37:58

40:59
they recorded this so the album version
41:01
is different from the single version you
41:03
ever been in there yes there's another
41:05
iconic photo there
41:08
mag and Jack
41:23
my really good friend Daphne she
41:23
is probably the biggest Jack White fan
41:25
that I know
41:35
moving around in the car listening to
41:35
the White Stripes and this song
41:39
it's pretty cool to be standing here
41:40
honestly
41:47
they got the old neon there then you got
41:47
the sign above it and then also etched
41:51
in the side of the old hotel
41:53
says Hotel Yorba so it's the name very
41:56
prominent and also above the door frame
41:59
this antique wooden door frame there
42:03
so you just got the name written
42:04
everywhere here
42:13
even right there
42:13
etched in the side of the building
42:28
I don't know if this is an actual Hotel
42:28
anymore all right I just asked he said
42:30
there are no rooms available we're going
42:33
to try to see room 206
42:36
they said no rooms available so wild
42:48
so room 206 should be on the second
42:48
floor so it was one of these that they
42:49
were recorded the live version yeah
42:52
which is the actual version here and the
42:55
rest of the video is on Bell Island
42:56
where we were oh the island where the
42:58
boat was yeah that's where the four
42:59
scenes are and the cathedral that he
43:01
gets buried in we'll get married in a
43:02
cathedral by the lake yeah that's
43:04
actually Jack White's Cathedral as a kid
43:05
that's his his church all right so a
43:08
little shout out to the Daphne show on
43:10
YouTube
43:11
she was messaging me and letting me know
43:13
there's some more spots from White
43:14
Stripes you need to check out
43:16
I did not realize that 1203
43:23
Ferdinand was
43:23
childhood home Jack White in fact they
43:26
returned here later in a documentary
43:28
about it have you ever been to the
43:29
hospital oh this is wild this is
43:31
incredible to see I never knew this yeah
43:33
there's a documentary about Detroit
43:34
music and the White Stripes for a Jack
43:36
and mag are on this porch right here
43:39
and then I believe he came back and
43:41
there's a photo of him
43:42
sitting on the porch as well
43:44
all the houses are kind of the same
43:47
almost they almost kind of look like
43:50
the Family Matters house a little bit
43:56
beautiful house beautiful neighborhood
43:56
oh there's so many flowers wrote some
43:58
songs in here before the White Stripes
44:01
this is definitely a historic rock and
44:02
roll house here's a photo here him
44:04
sitting on the porch they photoshopped
44:06
in a a piano but you get the idea of
44:08
what the house
44:10
look like right there
44:17
that is pretty dang cool
44:17
by the way Adam did you notice the shirt
44:19

44:37
