into the abyss we
0:09
go traffic there seems to be always a
0:12
constant debate between Los Angeles and
0:15
Chicago traffic they're both pretty
0:19
horrible but right now I got to say at
0:21
least Chicago traffic moves that truck
0:25
is hauling a humongous load of air and
0:28
he's driving it's driving pretty crazy
0:31
welcome everyone Adam
0:35
th woo
0:37
here it's my second channel daily Vlog
0:40
channel it's the daily
0:50
woo Straight Ahead downtown Chicago it's
0:53
a pretty Majestic Skyline that's for
0:56
sure we're going to get off the main
0:57
thorough fars for a minute take some of
1:00
these surface streets old timey theater
1:02
over there on the left the rova did you
1:04
ever watch the show Married with
1:06
Children I have to admit a huge guilty
1:09
pleasure when it comes to television and
1:11
it was based in Chicago the bundies
1:13
lived in the greater Chicago area and a
1:16
lot of those intro shots and other parts
1:19
from the show were filmed in this
1:21
Metropolis of the windy city and I want
1:24
to show you some of the spots starting
1:26
right now to find the first location I
1:28
have arrived at the this baseball field
1:31
and off on the horizon you can kind of
1:33
see the downtown area and I have the
1:36
Majestic I'm going to fly it up in the
1:38
air because I believe I have used my
1:41
colbol like research skills by searching
1:44
Google Earth and satellite views and
1:47
this is the spot this is the angle
1:50
overlooking this offramp and the freeway
1:53
system looking at Chicago that was the
1:57
start of the intro the interesting thing
2:00
is the original aerial shots weren't
2:03
even filmed for the TV show they were
2:06
taken from the Chevy Chase movie
2:07
nationville Lampoons Vacation and if you
2:10
look closely you can see the family
2:13
truckster driving through
2:15
Chicago the Bundy never had a truckster
2:18
one of the kind of negative things about
2:20
these drones is when you take the SD
2:23
card out the micro SD it has like a
2:25
spring system that if you were not
2:27
holding on to it for dear life it will
2:30
shoot the cart out into the
2:34
Wilderness of the roads for example look
2:38
down here there it is right there that's
2:42
the SD
2:44
card could be lost very very
2:55
easily that's kind of interesting what's
2:55
that supposed to be it's like an angel
2:58
on the side of an apartment building
3:00
gosh I don't know maybe it's not an
3:02
angel maybe I'm
3:04
misinterpreting what this is up here on
3:06
the right is the Chicago Bear stadium it
3:09
looks like an old school
3:12
Amphitheater something out of Rome
3:14
except there is a
3:18
spaceship on top of it right a little
3:21
bit different the next stop is right
3:23
here next to the beautiful
3:27
Skyline and when you think of Marywood
3:29
children you certainly
3:31
think of the Buckingham Fountain that
3:35
thing's a lot bigger than I thought it
3:37
was going to be it's huge for real years
3:40
of watching the television show I always
3:42
assumed it wasn't as
3:45
gargantuan as it is this thing is
3:48
massive and it is a little bit chilly so
3:51
there's no water running for good reason
3:53
because imagine that mist hitting you in
3:56
the face with the Wind
4:08
that's right come on come on there's
4:08
women and children down there if you
4:10
look online a few people have taken
4:12
pictures in front of the fountain and
4:14
before I arrived here I got to thinking
4:16
maybe they just superimpose the
4:18
background end because nothing ever
4:20
matched up exactly as it did in the show
4:24
but I think I've figured out the answer
4:26
so use your imagination now and let's
4:28
pretend that these branches were trimmed
4:32
back just a bit but if you walk a little
4:35
bit forward this is the exact angle and
4:41
of course buildings have been created
4:44
since that intro was filmed but this
4:47
building can be seen in the shot this
4:51
building can be seen in the shot as well
4:54
as the building directly behind the
4:56
fountain this is the angle from marry
5:00
with
5:01
children Love and Marriage Love and
5:06
Marriage goes together like a horse and
5:10
carriage for real though that's a pretty
5:13
tall
5:20
building I'm cutting it really close on
5:20
having to pay for parking this is going
5:22
to be down to the minutes they let you
5:24
park in this parking area up to 30
5:26
minutes for free but after 30 minutes
5:29
it's
5:34
$20 made it in time there was another
5:34
aerial shot I needed to get that are on
5:36
opposite spectrums of the city and if
5:38
you're looking at the skyline to the
5:40
right you will see a little water area
5:43
with some boats and some yachts and
5:45
things well I found that so I had to
5:47
make it quick to just get under the cusp
5:50
of not paying for that parking cuz that
5:52
was the only spot I could find where I
5:54
could take the Drone up and wouldn't be
5:56
bothered so I'm glad it worked out and
5:58
as you can see this is the exact spot
6:02
where they flew a helicopter to get
6:04
those aerial shots from the intro
6:08
success right now we're in the heart of
6:11
Wrigleyville in fact look over here to
6:14
the
6:15
right there's that famous
6:18
Marquee and it now says World Series
6:21
champions I think it's really cool when
6:23
a town can Embrace and finally feel that
6:26
air of Victory everything comes around
6:28
full circle and puts the town in a good
6:32
mood it's getting a little late in the
6:34
day but it's never too late for coffee
6:37
oh my gosh look at these a Dunkin Donuts
6:41
shortbread
6:47
cookie it isn't always the case but
6:47
normally if the day is already halfway
6:49
over I get iced coffee instead of hot
6:52
coffee the next spot really isn't in
6:54
Chicago at all it's on a very far out
6:57
suburb about 30 m from
7:16
downtown the village of Deerfield I'm
7:17
starting to get pretty excited because
7:18
we are entering the
7:20
neighborhood where the bundies and the
7:22
roads
7:24
lived this is blowing my mind right now
7:27
should be right up here
7:30
here around the turn oh
7:34
my gosh that's
7:37
it holy cow that's the
7:48
house this is so freaking
7:52
cool it looks the
7:55
same and it is a two-story home just as
7:59
depicted in the TV show and right across
8:01
the street would have been Steve and
8:03
Marcy's house directly across from the
8:06
Bundy so many episodes come to mind
8:10
where he has his classic car in the
8:12
garage or he's putting in the secondary
8:15
bathroom and he has the toilet the love
8:18
of his
8:19
life it's all coming back to me and of
8:22
course so many scenes happen at the
8:24
front door people going in and out the
8:26
roads visiting special guest stars ow
8:29
hanging out on the porch crazy there is
8:32
no window here though I think in the
8:34
show there was a window as you walk out
8:36
the front door in real life it's not
8:45
there just hanging out at the bundies
8:45
you got to wonder how often people come
8:46
by this home and take a picture in front
8:49
of it and what the neighbors think they
8:51
probably think why are they getting a
8:53
photo in front of that random house one
8:55
last look as we drive by
