welcome everyone Adam the whoo here
0:04
today's adventure brings us to Orange
0:06
County California in fact this fountain
0:10
the original from the circle which just
0:13
so happens to be about a block or two
0:17
that way which I will head over there
0:19
momentarily American Horror Story is
0:24
filmed all over the country mostly in LA
0:29
in fact there are some Los Angeles spots
0:31
which I will not be trekking up to this
0:34
is a bicycle cruising type of video just
0:41
the OC locations and there are a few
0:45
that maybe you know about maybe you do
0:47
not know about from the series I'm just
0:51
gonna hop on board pedal away and if you
0:55
want to see them feel free to join me
0:58
I'm you now this area is full of a lot
1:01
of other places that television and
1:04
feature films and commercials have been
1:07
recorded out
1:09
but the first
1:22
is right here
1:22
but is now a chase bank from season
1:26
seven
1:28
it was the butchery on main scene very
1:33
prominently in nearly every episode from
1:37
that season in fact that that neon sign
1:43
there on the left would just overlaid
1:44
with the words same sign just real
1:47
Eddard now they did not go to intense
1:50
with the overlay on the exterior they
1:52
did put this wooden signage here
1:55
covering the far window and a couple
1:58
other pieces to let you know if it's
2:03
fictional name so that wouldn't sign
2:08
it's right here
2:14
other than that not much difference
2:14
obviously it was not a bank at the time
2:16
I believe at the time there was nothing
2:19
in the spot that could've been why they
2:21
used it in real life it's been a number
2:23
of thanks over the years a hair salon a
2:27
Hair Studio a school I should say for
2:30
hairdressing and I'm pointing the camera
2:32
here at the the base of these bricks
2:36
because they either painted a little
2:39
trim around the bottom similar to that
2:41
coloration or they put where they put
2:45
something down there
2:46
just to give it a little different feel
2:50
just a few feet from the concrete up
2:53
there's an example of what our classic
2:55
truck classic truck alert if this is an
2:59
example of what I'm referring to you see
3:03
how they they painted the base there
3:06
towards the ground there was one scene
3:09
where there was a group of folks here
3:11
doing a little picketing and across the
3:15
way standing right over there was the
3:17
newscaster pointing pointing the camera
3:20
over towards where I'm currently
3:22
standing Ali and Ivy end up parking
3:25
underneath this Citizens Bank signage
3:28
right across the way there after
3:31
witnessing the commotion just on the
3:33
other side of the road
3:36
the crowd was congregated right there on
3:38
that corner he did a u-turn
3:41
well not a u-turn but they just turned
3:43
around right there and then marked their
3:47
car in that section not a huge group of
3:49
people but just enough to create quite a
3:52
commotion
4:03
that's the spot well
4:03
pretty much that's the spot on the
4:05
screen screengrab I just showed you
4:20
I had a totally different timeframe what
4:20
I refer to others as well as the latte
4:23
scene this is where Chi standing next to
4:28
the next to that pole after he dumped
4:31
his caffeinated beverage on the two
4:36
young ladies here after they had walked
4:39
out of the butchery on Main over there
4:42
on purpose just spilled it right right
4:45
on right on
4:46
enjoy your latte
5:22
it's not too far baby three three or
5:22
four miles
6:18
in Episode six I believe season seven
6:18
there was a rally that took place of
6:20
stage basically right where my bicycle
6:24
is sitting the stage would have been
6:26
here and the front basically right where
6:32
that circle the middle of that circle
6:35
was is where the stage and all of this
6:39
was used a quite a few people were all
6:44
in here watching the rally that was
6:46
taking place and you know this door
6:48
obviously it was only a few years ago
6:51
when the filming took place so not a lot
6:53
has changed in fact it looks eerily
6:56
similar to how it did in that same
6:59
complete pandemonium was happening this
7:06
fountain a major focal point that goes
7:11
like a little plaque down here on the
7:14
ground
7:23
where she was sitting just off here to
7:23
the left of it is where she was hiding
7:25
and someone fell right there
7:32
as they were running from the scene fell
7:37
in the fountain in that spot he tries to
7:40
save her
7:40
tells her to come along with him but he
7:45
fell to his demise
8:01
right about here from what was happening
8:01
down there
8:10
now it's kind of the angle as she was
8:10
using this as protection right about
8:13
there was completely in shock and who
8:17
wouldn't be when the situation like that
8:19
presents itself notice those gates and
8:23
the angle of those windows
8:49
is the old Orange County Courthouse
8:49
maybe be less than half a mile let's
8:52
just say half a mile
9:25
there will be a time capsule being open
9:25
in 2018 ein August 1st to be exact
9:40
look familiar in season two this was the
9:41
exteriors for Briarcliff Manor and it is
9:46
an impressive structure to say the least
9:52
is it not notice the sides there are
9:55
other buildings that were
9:56
computer-generated as well as the
10:00
extreme front of the building they
10:04
almost well they did give it a
10:05
completely other layer and they put a
10:10
bush around those two items of the
10:14
canons in front there put a bush around
10:17
those so they're not noticeable and they
10:19
added through computer movie television
10:24
magic buildings on either side and
10:27
extended the roofline just a bit that's
10:30
interesting and I'm getting this angle
10:33
because the road is blocked off so I'm
10:36
able to stand basically in the middle of
10:39
the street and get this far back
10:42
perspective my bike there to hear that
10:47
it might be tough to hear them but there
10:49
are parents that fly all around this
10:52
vicinity around this County
10:54
they usually migrate in groups of 10 to
11:00
15 and they make a unique noise
11:04
they're getting camera shy because I
11:05
don't hear them they may have they may
11:07
have flown off
11:11
only certain
11:13
don't really see them too much in some
11:17
places there they are
11:18
I heard them you weren't circle you see
11:23
them and hear them prominently obviously
11:26
Santa Ana which isn't too far
11:28
you hear them Anaheim around you around
11:30
the Disney Park Disney parks you don't
11:32
really see the parents to stay away from
11:34
there it's just one of those things you
11:38
have to experience
11:40
hair is very disheveled says here the
11:43
native daughters of the Golden West
11:46
reserved this spot for the courthouse in
11:49
the year 1869 Wow
11:55
that is awesome it's no longer currently
11:58
used for those facilities but Li there's
12:00
a museum inside which at the moment is
12:03
not open one day I'll have to return and
12:05
check out the museum when times are a
12:08
little different now this was not but I
12:10
feel like it definitely could have been
12:12
used in one of the episodes look at this
12:24
that's awesome right it's all fenced off
12:24
and abandoned but pretty cool and it's
12:26
located just catty-corner to this
12:39
see why they chose this it is
12:39
spectacular built out of Arizona red
12:42
sandstone it's the oldest existing
12:45
County Courthouse in Southern California
12:48
it's another fun fact and even though
12:52
these stairs were used you see walking
12:56
up walking up them the interiors were on
13:01
a soundstage
13:02
as well as the butchery on Main
13:14
but this is the exterior seen many many
13:14
times
13:16
and all its glory this is where I
13:19
attempt to walk down stairs
13:22
focusing I'm gonna walk very slowly yes
13:25
I got it basically the way you do is you
13:27
take your step down and then you take
13:29
your heel and you slide it on to the
13:31
bottom face cuz you know I could I could
13:35
look down okay I'm gonna do it this way
13:36
it's much easier he's trying to just
13:40
trying to keep eye contact but it's
13:43
better than me taking a tumble this is
13:45
not a place you want to take a tumble
14:03
very noisy over there so the parents are
14:03
being disguised okay if I'd be a crow
14:08
over there parrots up there crows back
14:11
there
14:14
there's lots of fowl frolicking around
14:18
in these trees
14:23
okay to hear them a little more distinct
14:27
there and those palms
15:02
Wow look at that over there another
15:02
incredible piece of architecture just
15:04
just kind of sitting there rotting away
15:29
some parrots just perched up there top
15:29
of those trees
15:35
