1:46
we'll not be hopping over there
1:49
today but right over here is where James
1:52
Earl Jones's apartment
2:00
was I think it was on this side or maybe
2:00
this side I think it was on this side I
2:02
got to match up stuff up but this stood
2:04
in for Boston no it's on the other side
2:07
I see the door from here so they
2:09
overlaid this with with where it said
2:11
city of Boston where the engine house
2:13
number one is and right here in the E
2:16
mut block eem
2:19
block e mons block dated
2:24
1888 it looks like a lot of these
2:26
buildings are empty I don't even know if
2:27
anyone's even living up there the whole
2:28
building is for leas the entire thing
2:30
there's a Computer Doctor store in this
2:33
little door right here now the scene is
2:36
at night when James R Jones is standing
2:38
in the road in the VW bus does a
2:40
loop-de-loop or turns around he's doing
2:42
Kevin coer is doing a U-turn and James
2:44
Ro Jones was standing right here in the
2:46
road Moonlight Graham was right here
2:51
what in the name of
2:52
heck and the daytime scenes that scene
2:55
was an evening the daytime scenes you
2:57
see Kevin cner walking right past here
3:00
and this is the freaking door all right
3:03
before lining that up I just wanted to
3:04
show across the street over here across
3:06
from the main door this is where cner is
3:09
talking to the woman who is kind of
3:11
yelling at him that she doesn't know
3:13
where he lives leave him alone he says
3:14
you're a pest something like that
3:17
paraphrasing and they had a Boston Red
3:24
Sox a little sign right there in that
3:24
window and this Archway can be seen in
3:26
fact you can even match that up right
3:29
there the camera doesn't go up that high
3:30
but that still looks the same right
3:32
there yeah take a look at that what the
3:35
heck who knew I'm sure someone knew but
3:37
that's that's wild that is wild not in
3:40
Boston now when he walks up to the door
3:43
you can see there is two concrete well
3:45
two
3:46
brick pylon well two brick buildings
3:49
that are separated by a little Gap there
3:51
and then the door is Painted Black then
3:54
just keep that in mind there is the
3:55
farther you can see the Gap a little bit
3:57
better there he's going up to the door
3:59
okay I guess it was maybe like a a dark
4:02
blue isue different door but you could
4:06
see the separation of the building and
4:07
there was a poultry place to the right
4:09
another poultry place to the left and
4:11
that was the door that led up to the the
4:13
apartment right there there it is
4:15
poultry place in this
4:17
window poultry place in the other
4:20
window and that's the angle right there
4:32
how Wild is that there there's a little
4:32
there's a little
4:33
Gap love
4:36
it a what such an iconic film anyway
4:41
moving on also there's one wide angle
4:43
where you see all of this in here as
4:46
well and you even
4:48
see the the bus pull up pulls up right
4:52
over here continues on passes that drops
4:55
off James R Jones
5:02
Boston
5:02
nope Iowa also known as heaven so if
5:04
you're you're familiar with the movie
5:06
and you watch that
5:07
scene they turned this corner park right
5:11
there and there was a street car a cable
5:14
car going by right
5:17
here quite the set dressing and just you
5:21
know Massachusetts stuff everywhere wow
5:24
all right made a little quick commute
5:25
about three or four blocks from where I
5:26
just well five or six blocks from where
5:28
I just was
5:30
now I have not seen the movie Fist f i s
5:33
starring Sylvester Stallone in many
5:35
years probably since the early
5:39
9s however it was
5:41
also filmed here in town I mentioned it
5:44
yesterday and I went online I found a
5:46
little info and I found a behind the
5:49
scenes featurette of the movie about a
5:51
20 minute behind the scenes featurette
5:53
and discovered by doing a little street
5:57
view around town that the the main focus
6:01
of the film fist took place right here
6:05
and if you watch that behind the scenes
6:07
featurette Stallone is sitting on top of
6:10
a train car right here in front of this
6:13
building with that open bay door and
6:16
this building offset just a little bit
6:18
from the road this is a deep cut I know
6:21
so not going to focus too much on it but
6:24
wanted to mention
6:26
it quite a few scenes transpired on this
6:29
very corner right here for those who are
6:33
into I think maybe 12 people have seen
6:35
the film now I think part of the reason
6:36
the movie didn't do super well is
6:38
because the original trailer was not
6:39
very good someone redid a modern trailer
6:43
you can just search fist modern trailer
6:46
and you will see this corner right here
6:48
with the
6:50
Consolidated sign across here there's a
6:54
scene where there's a some Executives
6:56
looking out at Stallone's character
6:58
who's on a a flatbed truck right here
7:01
and he's talking to some folks all this
7:03
matches up even though it's a lot a lot
7:05
newer all this was here there was a ramp
7:08
right there and this whole Corner was
7:12
used a lot in the movie Just based on
7:15
what I was seeing with the with all the
7:18
action the reason I figured out it was
7:19
this corner now when you watch the movie
7:21
or you watch that trailer you will see
7:24
that there were there were metal
7:26
walkways across 1 2 3 4 where the
7:29
workers would go from Factory to factory
7:31
there's another section down there that
7:32
still has
7:33
them this one doesn't so it threw me off
7:36
I thought it was that other block but I
7:37
realized that they have removed those
7:39
metal grates and this is the very corner
7:43
right here and the reason I figured that
7:45
out was looking at this building when
7:47
the sign falls you can see that building
7:50
and this building was here even back in
7:52
the late '70s the climactic moment when
7:55
all the union workers are pushing on
7:57
that metal fencing there with the
7:58
Consolidated side that falls over doing
8:01
a little reading I guess they only had
8:02
one take because that huge rod iron met
8:04
metal sign that fell this way all the
8:07
union workers charging in they only had
8:10
one sign so they only had one take so
8:12
all the extras had to make sure they did
8:14
a good job there's even a clip of Salon
8:16
coming around on the truck right here
8:18
with this bat you know beating people
8:20
and stuff but all this matches up this
8:22
is the corner right here corner of
8:25
Jackson Street all right from here going
8:26
to go pick up my family we're going to
8:27
cross over the state line go over the
8:30
bridge and do a little small town stuff
8:33
as well and I will Pepper in some other
8:36
field of dream spots that are over in
8:38
Galina I believe I'm pronouncing that
8:40
right over there as well but it's going
8:42
to just be more of a family day small
8:43
town Vibe day just kind of see where the
8:45
wind blows homework assignment if you're
8:48
into fist
8:51
fist uh not a lot of people know of the
8:54
movie but pretty fantastic that most of
8:57
it took place right on that little
8:59
corner
9:00
Stallone
9:01
history wonder if he even remembers he
9:03
probably I'm sure he
9:20
remembers all right we have arrived in
9:20
Galina Galina
9:22
Illinois it's only about 10 miles from
9:25
where we're in
9:26
debuk just over the bridge
9:30
I'm just driving over to find
9:32
parking really an impressive looking
9:34
Town beautiful town it's amazing that
9:37
this place
9:38
exists and it's thriving it's not like
9:41
all run down and oh classic truck alert
9:44
coming through look at this
9:46
thing
9:55
nice now parking here on Main Street
9:55
this little main drag is difficult so if
9:57
you we ended up going a about a walk
9:59
away and found some parking $10
10:03
parking but right here country crafts
10:05
and sports this was the movie theater
10:07
used to have a marquee you can even see
10:09
kind of where the Marquee used to be and
10:11
you could see that was the entrance and
10:12
exit of the theater where the movie
10:14
posters were this was the Marquee that
10:16
had the The Godfather across it that
10:19
cner was looking at and realized he had
10:21
gone back in time I think it was 72 he
10:23
went back in time till in fact the car
10:26
was over here and he kind of took his
10:28
hand and rubbed off the dirt to see the
10:31
the sticker on the front of the license
10:32
plate which means that Moonlight Graham
10:37
first appears on this street and also is
10:40
walking on that corner where they had
10:43
like the great the lighting and the fog
10:45
and everything and Bert Lancaster is
10:47
walking that way and then turns around
10:49
it's dramatic Turn Around by Bert
10:51
Lancaster right on that corner there's a
10:54
dangling owl up
10:56
there it's a
10:58
bird Bert Lancaster played the Birdman
11:00
of Alcatraz in that classic film too so
11:02
I'm do doing a little tie in
11:09
there that old
11:09
BFW oh
11:20
yeah thing I like about this road is how
11:20
you look that way and it just it looks
11:22
like a movie set cuz this the way it
11:24
turns like a Hollywood
11:26
backlot where it doesn't just go
11:28
straight like the Sky the the sight line
11:31
twists and turns so you have a backdrop
11:33
with the main road okay that's what the
11:35
Marquee used to look like it was the
11:37
Stanley check it out they were playing
11:39
Walt Disney's The Moon Spinners I don't
11:41
think I've ever seen the moon
11:48
Spinners oh yeah looks exactly like the
11:48
theater entrance here take a look at
11:50

11:53
baseball nods here as well all right
11:57
right here was where that classic car
11:59
car was with a tag on it it said 72 and
12:02
he walks over right there kind of where
12:03
this car was and like brushes off the
12:05
license plate all these windows up here

12:18
street right there where Bert Lancaster

12:22
fire Hydra now can match all this up

SC do you know the whole thing so not
21:51
only there was a pay phone right on this
21:52
corner but also the
21:54
Chism obviously this is not
21:56
Chism fictional the banner for the
21:59
Centennial was right there in fact you
22:01
can still match up the little sight line
22:03
and after rewatching the clip the pay
22:05
phone was on that very
22:08
Corner camera it's all one take you see
22:12
the the bus right there little RV not RV
22:16
but the VW
22:17
bus I guess it was a Volkswagen and then
22:20
it pans down and right here Coster and
22:23
James R Jones James R Jones points going
22:27
towards where the newspaper is
22:29
yeah just to show a little comparison
22:30
there's the there's the
22:32
stairs pretty neat again just showing a
22:36
few spots pretty amazing to think the
22:38
amount of history that is here so the
22:41
camera was facing that way pay phone was
22:44
right there and more
22:51
importantly so says the
22:51
placard Congregation of people were
22:53
right here on the street
23:00
corner while Abraham freaking Lincoln
23:00
stood on that balcony and gave a
23:04
speech can't match up any photos from
23:06
that ER
23:11
obviously man a Lincoln history is
23:11
always so fascinating okay found the
23:13
trolley Depot over here again don't know
23:17
if we're going to do this but this is
23:18
where it's located 314 North Main South
23:21
M oh these might be the best things ever
23:32
motorcycles were cool but I'm talking
23:32
about these cocacola ghost sides
23:36
delicious and
23:38
refreshing that is an Epic Bleeding
23:41
Through The Brick there old
23:43
paraphernalia on the side of this wall I
23:45
have a slight infatuation with these all
23:49
around the country I love a good
23:51
Coca-Cola
23:52
sign former advertisement left in paint
23:56
form of the side of brick buildings a
23:59
little bit of a sun glare there as I
24:02
walk over this way a little more you'll
24:03
be able to see it there's also a chew it
24:05
a after every meal which would have been
24:08
a chewing gum
24:10
advertisement right up there possibly
24:12
spearm mint gum don't know for certain
24:16
but this takes the cake and I love how
24:19
it has not been fixed up has not been
24:22
retouched has not been repainted since
24:25
the Golden Era whenever the heck it was
24:27
plastered up on the side of this I'll
24:30
call these Wheel of Fortune moments also
24:32
because not only do you see the
24:36
signage but up top here it's hard to
24:38
read what that says something about
24:40
grain and
24:55
there
24:55
beautiful all right there's another one
24:57
right there the Sun
24:59
kind of beating across it's really T to
25:01
see what that
25:03
says your guess is as good as mine it's
25:05
kind of hard to tell with the sun behind
25:07
me permeating the
25:16
brick this place this this town is is
25:16
beautiful there's another one over
25:41
sellers that almost look like an opera
25:41
house it's also I want say it's a busy
25:43
road but it's definitely one of the main
25:46
thoroughfares through
25:59
town oh
25:59
hey all right we have talked amongst
26:02
oursel and decided that we're not going
26:03
to do the trolley tour the next one
26:05
leaves in an hour and a half and it's an
26:06
hour tour so it' be a 2 and 1/ half hour
26:10
commitment so we all kind of
26:11
commiserated and decided not to but
26:14
looks like a
26:15
pretty pretty good time
26:18
evidently even though there are 1 2 3
26:20
four five trolleys out there still the
26:24
tour schedule is a little
26:46
delayed all right there is a walking
26:46
tour in here the historic front
26:49
desk and here is ulyses himself 1869 to
26:55
1877 the United States president right
26:59
there and there is a pineapple light and
27:02
there is the historic staircase famous
27:05

27:06

27:24
McKinley Booker T
27:27
Washington natural page baseball
27:30
player that's cool yeah take a look at
27:33
this old photo of the lobby right here
27:36
this is dated from
27:38
1875 really here's a fascinating setup
27:41
through here how when you look out this
27:44
way through this shop that is the the
27:46
main road but when you walk in there's
27:49
like a basement area leading down to
27:52
this section through the hotel and they
27:54
got some old photos a panoramic view of
27:57
Galina taken from Shot Tower Hill in
28:01
1880 right over here you can see what
28:04
the town looked like
28:10
then wonder what room Abraham Lincoln
28:11
stayed in when he was here maybe that
28:13
one Bachelors
28:22
beware the doodo house has fitted up a
28:22
grand New bridal chamber in the South
28:23
parlor of the house is The Corner Room
28:25
facing Main and green streets large and
28:27
roomy and very like
28:29
Pleasant if any of our Bachelor go and
28:31
take a look at it they will be tempted
28:33
to occupy it very soon that was posted
28:36
in
28:37
1873 in the Galina weekly Gazette all
28:40
right we're walking up the stairs we
28:42
talked to
28:43
the checkin
28:46
clerk he said the room that Abraham
28:48
Lincoln stayed in was room
28:52
21 out the balcony here so they' been up
28:55

29:23

29:36
balcony I
29:38
asked it's not structurally
29:42

29:44
resident ghost here remember what the
29:46
ghost He said something about there's a
29:48
portal to the Ghost World right is that
29:50
what he said lady in black or something
29:54
yeah I think that's a that's a Lady in
29:56
Red
29:58
all I just inquired how much it would be
30:00
to rent the Abraham Lincoln room for the
30:02
night about 200 bucks on a week date
30:05
less than $200 you could stay in the
30:07
same
30:08
room that Abraham Lincoln stayed in
30:13
guess how much Abraham linol room is
30:15
$350 200 bucks 180 bucks that's not bad
30:18
yeah there's the nine generals that
30:20
lived in Lena
30:31
okay so this is the bar he was talking
30:31
about right so where's the ghost portal
30:34
around these Corners oh you already
30:36

30:42
but there's the ghost portal there's a
30:42
ghost in there
30:44

phone there's a ghost in the portal
30:51

31:04
funny the ghost is gone did you see the
31:04
ghost well no I just say that's where
31:06
she disappears
31:08
oh look at that hidden since the 1880s
31:12
and only discovered in 2011 the story
31:14
way marks a spot where the Elusive Lady
31:16
In Black has always been reported to
31:17
disappear this is like a little
31:19
restaurant and they let you walk all
31:21
around in here so you're allowed to
31:23
peruse
31:24
around you can come through here and you
31:27
can stand in the same
31:30
spot where this wall was
31:33
removed and see the
31:36
doorway the lady in Black right
31:45
there that's cool the portal to the
31:45
Ghost
31:52
World Imagine The Ghost of Abraham
31:52
Lincoln was wandering around if you're
31:54
into that sort of
31:56
thing ghost down here it's a ghost
32:01
Hotel anything that it's it's
32:03
interesting how ghosts appear mostly in
32:06
older
32:07
buildings there's like a timeline with
32:09
ghosts once it gets older than a 100
32:11
years the ghosts come out to
32:13
play is so need the little mural here on
32:16
the
32:22
side this is a cool really cool hotel GL
32:22
we walked in here this is called the
32:24
General's
32:26
restaurant down here this time of the
32:28
day not a whole lot going on down in the
32:32
the bowels this Historic
32:35
Hotel in the restaurant
32:46
itself I do like that I like that they
32:46
embrace the history I think that's
32:53
fun built in 1980 by the state of
32:53
Illinois Great River
32:56
Road there is a
32:59
wasp right down there this is the Galina
33:02
river that
33:04
connects with the Mississippi River and
33:07
there's Grant Park across the way
33:22
there yeah we're looking Grant Park
33:22
here this thing's facing right towards
33:25
town through the trees there
33:46
hill
33:46
walk what that
34:00
all right up here at the top of this
34:00
hill is the badier mansion it says open
34:03
to the public but they are renovating it
34:05
they have not reopened it for the summer
34:08
until Springtime so I guess certain
34:11
things up here are not open this being
34:12
one of them they have the ladders all
34:14
put up so evidently there is either a
34:17
recreation or the screen use prop cannot
34:20
clarify by doing a quick little search
34:23
but they have the dress the drape dress
34:26
that Scarlet oh'
34:28
created and Gone With the Wind out of
34:30
the drapes she saw and
34:32
wore would have been neat to see them
34:34
but evidently they're inside the badier
34:36
Mansion so just across the little Galina
34:39
river is East Galina where that Mansion
34:41
