6:46
correctly
6:46
favorite oh you know what I think I may
6:48
have crossed over into TCA Lake okay I
6:51
don't know exactly where the border of
6:52
Burbank and TCA lake is maybe it's where
6:54
this bench is but the Gary Marshall
6:56
Theater when I used to live in Hollywood
6:58
years ago was called something else but
7:00
after Gary passed on they dedicated this
7:03
theater to him flying canines look these
7:05
dogs here this a little jetpack on this
7:08
one's got
7:10
parachute has some wings on that
7:14

7:36
beaches directed Barbara Hershey and B
7:36
Midler and that that tear
7:45
jerker all right I actually looked it up
7:45
in the address when you look up Bob's is
7:49
Burbank so this is technically still in
7:57
Burbank love this
7:57
place oh just even Burbank in general
8:00
Love Burbank love Bobs love this whole
8:03
area one of my favorite
8:06
places
8:08
Hollywood in general so last time I was
8:12
here they had removed this guess maybe
8:14
to clean up the old big
8:17
boy got a lot of memories at this
8:21
place the restaurant was built in
8:24
1949 and is the oldest remaining Bob's
8:27
Family Restaurant in America it's point
8:29
of California historical
8:37
interest and here is their logo here
8:37
Incorporated
8:40
1911 the old coffee shop signage there
8:43
has been there for many
8:45
years it's before my time even around
8:48
the back corner is a little Bob up on
8:51
the side of the well you know what I
8:52
don't honestly I don't know sure if the
8:53
mascot's name is but I just refer to him
8:55
as Bob
9:04
I think it might be just big the big boy
9:04
and according to this they are
9:05
celebrating their 75th Anniversary 1949
9:08
to 19 or 2024 there's also a Starbucks
9:11
tucked away back
9:28
here Milt and
9:28
edies guys got his dry cleaning over
9:30
there it's also a tailoring Center the
9:34
noise you're hearing is a garbage
9:37
truck down the alley dumping a dumpster
9:41
Milt
9:49
46 over 70 years of cleaning clothes in
9:49
SoCal open every day of the
9:57
year place has been here forever look at
9:59
this they have the Hollywood sign but
10:02
it's not it's the Milt and edies I think
10:05
I may have said edes Milt and Ed
10:20
there it's on the corner of atam in
10:20
pass life is not a dress rehearsal Make
10:23
It Count going to walk down where the
10:25
Warner Ranch used to be walking over the
10:28
130 four
10:37
freeway just about a block over the
10:37
freeway at that old car right there that
10:40
old Jeep truck thing not sure what that
10:44
was corner of Oaken pass
10:47
now this is where the Warner Ranch was
10:50
covered it many times actually got
10:52
access twice to walk around and document
10:54
it before they started tearing it
10:56
down pass AV and and Oak it's now no
11:00
longer affiliated with Warner speaking
11:02
of Warner Warner
11:05
Brothers the proper Studio which is
11:07
still open couple blocks from here I'm
11:10
doing a tour there today I've covered
11:12
that many times I don't think I'm going
11:13
to be filming on the lot today I'm just
11:16
going to enjoy doing the
11:18
tour without uh without this camera in
11:21
my
11:28
hand take a look at this these are huge
11:28
freaking Sound Stage
11:30
that are being
11:31
built where so many shows and movies
11:35
music videos
11:37
Etc were once filmed classic 80s and
11:40
'90s goodness and early 2000s they are
11:43
definitely not messing around or wasting
11:44
any time with the
11:47
construction on this place roadside
11:51
things there's a call back this chair
11:55
classic car alert right over here so
11:58
from this angle was just about the
12:00
general vicinity where the Christmas
12:01
vacation house was Chevy Chase house W
12:04
division house Lethal Weapon house and I
12:07
am wearing an appropriate t-shirt not
12:09
only because I'm going to the Warner
12:10
Studios tour but also standing here
12:12
where the Warner Ranch used to be was a
12:15
couple of the
12:16
exteriors from the shirt I'm wearing as
12:19
well as the
12:26
pool from Gremlins they built the YMCA I
12:26
think it was the YMCA walls around it
12:28
was an outdoor pool but in the movie you
12:31
would have thought it was an indoor pool
12:32
but it was right out here yeah kind of
12:34
unplanned I was wearing this because I'm
12:35
doing the the tour over at Warner
12:38
Studios hadn't really planned on walking
12:40
by here but it kind of works out so I
12:43
got the reping the Gremlins love that
12:47
movie pool was kind of like right over
12:49
there
13:02
heading back to where I just was walking
13:02
from onto Hollywood Way love this row of
13:07
houses here of course when these were
13:10
built just amazing looking
13:19
buildings it was not as busy on this
13:19
thare it's gotten a lot busier through
13:22
here since these homes were built look
13:23
at
13:28
these freaking awesome look at this
13:28
thing
13:30
thing like a fairy tale
13:38
home look at this tree it's like a Tim
13:38
Burton
13:39
tree big old fireplace right there that
13:42
is a freaking
13:44
awesome
13:58
dang and this is really easy to drive
13:58
past if I driven past these many times
14:00
I've kind of seen them briefly as I'm
14:02
passing by in a car but when you're
14:04
walking you really soak it in a lot
14:08
more it's just like something out of a
14:18
movie got the palm tree there in fact
14:18
this little apartment complex is called
14:20
Bermuda
14:21
Palms very similar what Daniel laruso
14:25
would have lived in it's also in the
14:27
valley but not in Burbank little ways
14:30
from here yeah you can run an apartment
14:33
here little cute little quaint
14:45
place just to so show the proximity
14:45
there's a WB water tower right
14:49
there and an old car wash which is no
14:54
longer in use they had a early bird
14:56
special but I really love the the
14:59
signage that's here on the corner of
15:02
Riverside look at this beautiful thing
15:05
with the arrow pointing
15:11
down that is
15:18
beautiful they offer
15:18
detailing car
15:20
washing Complete auto
15:23
detailing Lakeside Car Wash is what it
15:26
was called this hat to have been used in
15:30
some
15:36
Productions in fact I would imagine the
15:36
motel I'm staying at it's probably used
15:39
in some movies TV shows as
16:00
shadow what the heck an old May
16:00
tag washing machine there's a newer
16:03
washing machine
16:05
Whirlpool I love the font of the
16:14
Lakeside
16:14
man you know as I'm looking at this you
16:17
got an air conditioner unit over
16:19
there this might have been a gas pump at
16:22
some point right out here usually when
16:25
there's like concrete like little
16:27
embankments like this so usually was gas
16:29
pumps like where this tree was and over
16:31
there probably at one point it was a gas
16:34
station too and a car
16:40
wash all right here's something pretty
16:40
cool just did a little quick search
16:42
evidently sure was using many other
16:45
things but this car wash was used in
16:47
Saving Mr Banks with Paul gad's
16:49
character was driving the limo right
16:51
along here and pl Travers was in the
16:55
back seat they passed by right along
16:58
here here and you see the car
17:02
wash behind them that's pretty
17:06
neat again it was probably using a
17:08
hundred other things
17:10
but Sav Mr Banks I recently rewatched
17:13
that again I've seen it probably five or
17:14
six times I watched it about a week or
17:15
two ago again and I also watch Mary
17:19
Poppins same day I watch Mary Poppins
17:21
first and then I watch Saving Mr Banks
17:23
both both great great movies with the
17:26
passing of Richard Sherman I kind of had
17:28
to over at the entrance to the 134 two
17:31
big satellite
17:43
Drive there's the car wash there's the
17:43
wisdom tree up at the top of the hill
17:46
and
17:47
there is the motel I'm staying at the
17:50
Tangerine
17:51
Dream wrapped up in these
17:55
501s just sweating to the old these
17:57
vandals reference I don't think anyone
17:58
will get waren waren fitger not an
18:00
active phone booth but there is the
18:02
shell of it and they still have where
18:04
the phone book was right down inside of
18:13
there and across the way there are there
18:13
is the Burbank Studios it's just called
18:17
the Burbank
18:18
Studios right over there I'm just taking
18:21
a little stroll getting a little walk
18:23
I'm going to go over to Johnny Carson
18:26
Park
18:29
look at this old a&o liquor
18:31
store right
18:34
here
18:35
nice nice old sign see it better from
18:39
this angle you can also see my
18:41
reflection right there in the window
18:51
too continue down
18:51
Alita this is a fantastic
18:54
tree I also love that you can hear the
18:56
birds
18:57
chirping right over here on Bob Hope
19:00
Drive I believe it's called it's named
19:02
after Bob
19:13
Hope barely hear the birds there a
19:15
little traffic
19:41
it hello birdie
19:41
hi you are correct sir well Phil
19:46
Hartman not doing Johnny but doing epic
19:49
man you get it this is the layout of the
19:52
land Johnny Carson Park I am here
19:54
question mark why does it have a
19:55
question mark maybe if I had the
19:58
question where am I they would let me
20:00
know I am there or maybe they are
20:02
puzzled and they don't even know where I
20:03
am maybe they are confused if that is
20:06
where I
20:16
am okay so right up here you see that
20:16
Tower the other side of that Power
20:19
Tower it's the Hollywood Sign obviously
20:23
can't see it from the valley side but
20:24
yeah
20:36
Hill well it's more of a mountain Johnny
20:36
Carson Park City of Burbank Parks and
20:39
Recreation
20:40
Department dedicated to the king that is
20:43
that is definitely true there is no one
20:45
like Johnny Carson none of the other
20:46
ones come any close dedicated to the
20:49
king of late night for 30 years he kept
20:51
America up late and
20:53
laughing there he is right inside the
20:56
television used to be called bua Vista
20:58
Park and evidently Jay Leno when he
21:01
hosted the tonight's show that version
21:04
of The Tonight Show donated some
21:07
money to putting some equipment in this
21:22
park right across from the studios with
21:22
The Tonight Show was filmed
22:13
