welcome everyone out of the woo here
0:02
it's my second channel daily vlog
0:03
channel it's the daily whoo and I have
0:06
discovered something that I've actually
0:08
visited in the past Watson's soda
0:11
fountain and cafe the staple of the
0:15
orange circle in Orange County
0:17
California a place that a multiple
0:19
amount of TV shows and movies were
0:22
filmed at is under a complete renovation
0:26
and i thought i would actually document
0:28
this historic event the chit chit chit
0:32
changes that are actually happening
0:35
right here on the corner of orange
0:38
street and chapman avenue in the city of
0:44
orange this place is actually very
0:46
fantastic or at least it used to be and
0:49
hopefully will be again and they've
0:52
actually been remodeling this for a
0:53
while I do not think it's going to be
0:55
anytime soon before it is actually
0:57
finished in fact I walked by here a week
1:00
or two ago and actually peaked inside
1:01
the doors and they are completely
1:04
redoing the inside I do not know if they
1:06
are actually going to completely change
1:08
the interior how it looked or if they
1:12
are going to leave it the same it's
1:13
really kind of hard to gauge at this
1:15
point but they have actually removed the
1:17
awning and you can see some of that
1:19
original wood that is actually up there
1:21
on the old awning and the sign that says
1:25
watson drug leader established 1899 is
1:30
actually still up still up there hanging
1:32
and here are some old pictures of the
1:36
orange circle here is the old fire truck
1:38
orange is going over the top just as
1:42
these boys did which is some sort of
1:45
promotional scheme across the top of the
1:49
old fire truck and of course there is
1:51
the orange circle here's the old Pete
1:53
w/e groceries building i'm not sure
1:57
exactly where that was located but look
1:59
at this here is the interiors of the old
2:02
watson shopping center which i believe
2:06
now i am assuming and you know what they
2:09
say when you assume something I'm
2:10
assuming that this is what it actually
2:13
used to look like inside way back in the
2:16
day before they actually film a TV shows
2:18
and the movies inside there this is what
2:21
it looked like originally shortly after
2:24
it actually opened its doors but there
2:26
is big news on the horizon or big news
2:31
actually happening right now big big
2:34
news read all about it coming soon
2:38
watson drug and soda fountain watson
2:41
original soda fountain will reopen soon
2:43
the world's best soda floats and beer
2:47
floats come and see history repeat
2:50
itself you won't you won't want to miss
2:55
seems so that is going to be very
2:58
exciting maybe I could do a vlog I've
3:01
done a vlog here in the past when it was
3:03
open before in fact do some Colombo like
3:06
research and tell me what was the vlog
3:08
number that I did from Watson's
3:10
drugstore probably about a year maybe a
3:13
year and a half ago maybe even sooner
3:14
than that I have no concept of time when
3:17
it comes to vlogs do some research do
3:20
some recognizance research of your own
3:22
post a comment down below what was the
3:24
vlog number and should I return when
3:27
they actually do the grand opening maybe
3:29
that could be a future a future vlog
3:32
here at Watson
3:36
drug look at this Watson company
3:39
druggist that actually used to be wat
3:42
Watson company druggist and there it is
3:45
right there there's that street corner
3:46
look the street corner here where we are
3:49
standing we're standing here there's
3:51
that street corner that building right
3:52
there is that building right there look
3:56
at that so look at that window see that
3:59
window right there or my coffee is you
4:01
want a drink of coffee window this
4:04
window that I'm pointing at is actually
4:06
this exact window that window is that
4:13
window right there recall how things
4:17
change and things stay the same that is
4:21
the beauty of life things change but yet
4:23
things still say to say the same there's
4:25
always little nuances of the past that
4:28
you can always look back on whether it
4:30
be in your memory or in your psyche or
4:34
in that even a word in your psyche in a
4:37
photo or a video now video we have
4:40
moving pictures look at this what do you
4:42
think was behind this window at one
4:45
point this would slide open or maybe
4:47
maybe that's actually new actually that
4:49
might be new that's going to be a new
4:50
sliding window you want to see if we can
4:53
get a peking you want to see if we can
4:55
get a peek inside look at this look in
4:58
there look inside there they have all
5:01
kind of goodness on the horizon through
5:05
those doors and i love this this tile
5:09

5:41
look at downtown orange that is really
5:43
cool too and there's a photo of the old
5:48
fountain which is still there and
5:50
they've actually removed those water
5:52
fountains that that child is actually
5:55
drinking water out of but there's the
5:57
fountain which is actually right over in
5:58
the circle pretty cool
6:07
see hmm see they're doing a lot of work
6:07
inside there and this sign is actually
6:09
still here Watson drug and found
6:11
established 1899 Watson's is the oldest
6:14
drug story in Orange County in the
6:16
oldest ongoing business in the city of
6:18
orange and looked out here it was using
6:20
the Tom Hanks movie that thing you do it
6:24
was also used in the barbara eden film
6:26
the stepper step for children in Burt
6:28
Reynolds gumball rally and what really
6:32
excites me is check this out it was
6:34
actually used in a television commercial
6:37
with the one and only Don Knotts look
6:41
Don Knotts the one and only Don Knotts
6:47
actually shot a television commercial
6:50
inside these doors so that is very
6:54
exciting my arm my arm my arm is getting
6:58
very tired holding everyone that is
7:01
watching this vlog up at one time with
7:03
that arm whoo man it's crazy people
7:06
always say you need a selfie stick I
7:07
don't know how I feel about selfie
7:09
sticks I kind of like the option the
7:12
freedom of shifting around and moving
7:14
around i have long arms a lot of people
7:16
when they meet me say you're a lot
7:17
taller that I thought it's hard to gauge
7:19
someone's height through the beauty of
7:22
the internet and vlogs but I am six foot
7:24
three inches long and have a very long
7:26
very long very long wingspan if you will
7:32
you can see how long my arm is I really
7:35
don't need I really don't need a selfie
7:38
that's kind of cool I'm just staying
7:40
still and floating back and forth all
7:43
right so nothing too super exciting
7:45
today but I thought this was a very
7:47
interesting subject I figured I would
7:48
document it the Watsons drugstore the
7:51
construction of watson drugs which is
7:54
actually happening right there we use
7:56
that as a screen shot hopefully you guys
7:59
have a great day I'll see you guys
