welcome everyone Adam though whoo here
0:23
it's my second channel daily walk now
0:25
that bus was very close to me it's the
0:27
daily whoo Oh Chicago you're beautiful
0:42
good morning Birds they're taking over
0:42
Hitchcock would be proud
1:02
doesn't even seem real does it looks
1:02
like a back lot like a movie studio
1:04
which is interesting because Chicago has
1:06
been used in a lot of feature films as
1:09
well as TV show when I look around is
1:11
hard for me not to think of balki
1:13
bartokomous and cuss and Larry I'm
1:15
talking about perfect stranger and
1:17
amazing yet very underrated show based
1:20
on these very streets in fact the intro
1:24
was filmed at locations all around town
1:27
let's start with this one it's pretty
1:30
cool there's a newspaper stand here
1:32
because this building is where Mark
1:34
linn-baker stood right over there and
1:36
read his newspaper team uh ch looks the
1:39
same down to the stairs and the pillars
1:42
in the background you look at the
1:43
screenshot from the intro you will
1:45
notice that there was a green sign and
1:47
there is still some remnants see the
1:50
little rusted out area and those metal
1:52
screws that's what held a sign in place
1:55
and in tall on the wings of my dream I
2:00
never saw I could sing my apologies but
2:02
this should make up for it look at that
2:05
view
2:15
ah yes the historic Chicago ciated right
2:15
across the street the cousins came out
2:17
of the subway for that triumphant shot
2:21
those are the exact stairs they would
2:24
have jogged up in their Sunday best
2:27
adjusting their bow ties the camera
2:30
hands up showing the Chicago theater and
2:34
the skyline
2:36
my life my dreams nothing's gonna stop
2:41
me now this is the river where the boat
2:44
went under the bridge for the opening
2:48
titles right there the skyline looks a
2:51
little bit different but you can see a
2:53
few of the buildings match up and the
2:55
bridge has been repainted but Balki and
2:58
Larry on the boat going right under that
3:01
bridge I always liked how Balki grabbed
3:03
the American flag off the back of the
3:05
boat and waved it around as he went
3:08
right underneath there
3:10
check this out the El train runs all
3:13
through downtown but this
3:17
is the exact spot from the intro there
3:22
it goes look at that
3:31
I feel like I'm in the show itself right
3:31
now this is amazing
3:55
the Chicago Tribune is right across the
3:55
waterway there but in the show there was
3:57
a fictional paper right along this windy
4:00
corridor and it was called the Chicago
4:03
Chronicle this building was prominently
4:06
displayed in a lot of episodes including
4:10
the now famous shot of the wind blowing
4:14
them around knocking Balki on the ground
4:17
as Larry is pushing forward through the
4:21
stiff breeze a very comical scene filmed
4:25
right there mind blown
4:29
and correct me if I am wrong but I think
4:31
this corner bakery cafe in the show it
4:34
was a Burger King
4:44
I don't know what that car is roadworthy
4:44
Casey Neistat yesterday I tried a hot
4:48
dog today it's Pizza time this place is
4:52
crazy they invite people to write their
4:54
names on the booths and the walls
4:57
looks like Dennis Rodman is eating here
4:58
chowing down hi
5:00
even Lady Gaga's been here that's pretty
5:02
cool and here we go
5:04
look at this Chicago pizza just big
5:06
enough for me and maybe I could share a
5:08
little bit with James Dean and you know
5:09
what James get your own this is all my
5:11
this is the old water tower and it sits
5:14
right between these skyscrapers the
5:18
architecture is off right around this
5:20
area here is where Balki headed the
5:23
horse and back behind it still looks the
5:26
same it's crazy to think they had a
5:30
horse carriage parked right here on the
5:33
side of this busy road and they still do
5:34
have the horse-drawn carriages out here
5:37
but they haven't parked on the other
5:38
side Eve was shot right there
5:41
where that bus is turning Brooks from
5:45
Shawshank would be very disappointed
5:48
with this park oh man this church is
5:52
awesome and I've ordered an uber going
5:55
to the next stop this tunnel goes
5:58
underneath the road and leads over to a
6:02
beach walk your bike this guy is a rebel
6:07
does not follow water so Oh Adam the
6:12
Woo's wild kill look this goose has like
6:19
a number on its neck
6:21
he's been marked what's that for
6:26
exactly there's a skyline shot where
6:32
they are running right down this grassy
6:35
area with Chicago in the background this
6:39
is amazing
6:40
I'm like in a time machine going back to
6:44
TGIF days Friday nights on ABC so wild
6:50
to be standing right here this is an
6:52
insane amount of foul surrounding me
7:03
they could attack at any moment
7:03
never going
7:12
oh my gosh there it is the apartment
7:12
building from season three until the end
7:15
of the series it looks very similar of
7:17
course they've gotten rid of the fire
7:19
escapes and repainted it but they still
7:21
have those castle s toppers man so coool
7:28
the apartment home in season 1 and 2 was
7:30
in los angeles
7:32
use your Columbo like research skills
7:33
you can see the vlog I did there as well
7:36
season 6 it is mentioned that the
7:37
address is 7-eleven Coldwell Street well
7:41
that is not true it is actually on the
7:44
corner of Clark and Dickens avid
7:47
Hollywood trickery right where they're
7:53
doing all this road construction is
7:55
where they ran across the road and their
7:57
cubs attire they got to this corner and
8:00
then you can see the famous historic
8:04
sign and Stadium and they ran into the
8:07
game this might honestly be the world's
8:09
oldest ATM in existence look at this it
8:12
looks like something from the caveman
8:13
days run across from Wrigley Field
8:16
cavemen had debit cards right I've
8:19
always wanted to go to a game at Wrigley
8:20
Field I guess the next best thing would
8:23
be get one of the seats that are up on
8:26
top of that roof I wouldn't complain
8:28
about that at all
