Easter Sunday April 9 2023 I'm in
0:08
Washington DC I found a parking
0:10
structure just down the way here that
0:13
was 22 dollars for the full day and they
0:16
are open till midnight so I have quite a
0:18
bit of time
0:19
to gallivant
0:25
DC right there
0:25
shuts left I think that was NYC however
0:29
they both end in the sea I'm inviting
0:31
you
0:32
as I see
0:34
some things in DC maybe I should order a
0:37
cab probably not I'll probably just
0:38
gonna walk Mr T would probably show up
0:40
and drive me around town but that would
0:42
be pretty awesome join me
0:44
shall you check this out so I've been to
0:46
the I've been to the city a couple times
0:47
but I've never been over to Ford Theater
0:50
this building here
0:52
which is that building is where Mr booth
1:03
was kind of camped out
1:03
using it for the the plotting
1:05
of the demise
1:08
of Abraham Lincoln
1:11
I've never been to Ford Theater so I'm
1:13
going to walk by there don't know if
1:15
they're doing tours on the most likely
1:16
oh
1:24
most likely if they are doing tours they
1:24
might be sold out they're doing a tour
1:25
this early
1:26
I might jump on it
1:29
time of the day it's 10 32. that was the
1:32
lot I parked in trying to find street
1:33
parking it was pretty filled up
1:35
so luckily I got that lot but you can
1:37
see something's going on over here you
1:39
got a lot of the flags got the I love DC
1:42
gifts and quite a line
1:45
that must be for theater
1:52
it's where it happened
1:52
yeah fourth theater center for Education
1:54
and Leadership
2:01
there he is up there his silhouette well
2:01
his uh photograph in the window
2:10
there's like an ear piercing
2:10
squeal
2:11
happening like an alarm of some sort
2:14
and this is right next to Ford's Theater
2:17
in this house April 15
2:19
1865 at 7 22 A.M
2:27
this last breath
2:27
right next to the theater itself
2:29
connected all the t-shirts over there at
2:31
that stand are three for 20. now you
2:34
purchase tickets over here across the
2:35
street the interesting thing is well not
2:37
the interesting thing is but the
2:38
confusing thing is
2:40
this is run by the national park system
2:42
and they got some weird rules now for
2:45
filming in National Parks I don't know
2:46
if that applies
2:48
to like a pop-up exhibits like they
2:50
would be
2:51
you know Philadelphia or DC and those
2:54
areas I don't know if that applies can
2:56
you film in there there's a gentleman at
2:58
the front lifting a cinder block
3:00
it's like doing
3:02
rest with the cinder block in front of
3:04
Ford's Theater not really sure why
3:06
all right I stand completely corrected
3:08
so this was the house they brought a
3:11
leaking over across the street from
3:22
it completely was incorrect on that this
3:22
is the theater
3:24
evidently when you purchase tickets in
3:26
you see there's a line to get in over
3:27
there when you purchase tickets to get
3:29
in you can also get a tour over there
3:31
afterwards so you exit out of here and
3:33
go over there let me see if I get it I
3:35
was listening to the park ranger talking
3:36
to some of the other guests he said you
3:38
could take all the pictures you want
3:39
don't think that means video also the
3:42
line that's over there is for entry at
3:44
11 15 it's about 10 40 right now and it
3:48
seems like those are prepaid tickets so
3:50
I had to might have to do that at other
3:52
times
3:53
it's a lot to say check out Lincoln's
3:55
Waffle Shop right here so I didn't ever
3:57
knew that George that's George
3:59
Washington President Lincoln you know
4:01
liked waffles but I guess that's like a
4:02
real thing getting getting my
4:04
president's confused maybe it was George
4:06
Washington that I thought liked waffles
4:08
but I guess Abraham Lincoln also liked
4:11
waffles now I could do one of those
4:13
Trolley Tours just pulling away I think
4:15
I'm just gonna hoof it I think I'm gonna
4:17
walk it
4:18
let's see what I can find this place
4:19
looks really dang awesome Ollie's
4:22
Trolley this place has been here for a
4:24
while
4:26
look at this it's a little too early for
4:28
me to eat usually I'll eat a little
4:29
later in the day Sunday to get a coffee
4:31
but check out a look at this this old
4:33
Neon
4:34
the train there
4:37
here at Ollie's Trolley I think if I
4:39
follow this direction down E Street I'll
4:42
connect up with the White House
4:43
got a lot of people skating over here
4:47
this little area flat area over here
4:50
a few skaters out
4:52
that's another Trolley going by there's
4:54
a lot of trolleys all over
5:03
just a such impressive buildings
5:03
in this area of the country
5:06
huge this gives some information about
5:09
the Great Seal of the United States in
5:11
776 1776 Continental Congress adopted a
5:14
resolution calling for the creation of
5:16
the seal
5:17
of a new
5:19
Nation
5:20
e pluribus
5:22
unum
5:24
and then the pyramid here with the
5:27
all-for-seeing eye oh wow shift over
5:30
just a little bit and there's the
5:32
Capitol building
5:41
thank you
5:41
oh my God oh my God this walkway should
5:44
take me up to the front of what I'm
5:46
looking for it's a little information
5:47
stand over there
5:49
take I mean there's a lot of really
5:51
Monumental items around here but look at
5:53
this thing
6:07
Zamboni of some sort
6:07
now from this perspective there's
6:10
definitely a lot of people over here
6:11
getting their photo
6:13
but can't really see too much so they
6:15
got something in the yard over there I
6:18
think the other angle I think there's a
6:20
park on the other side I think about to
6:21
walk completely around it to get the get
6:23
the better angle that's from where I am
6:26
out over here
6:27
I can't see too you can barely see it
6:29
all right this makes sense because it is
6:31
Easter Sunday so they are doing the
6:32
Easter egg roll over there on the
6:35
property so everyone's over here
6:36
Gathering hoping to see someone they
6:39
might recognize
6:40
wow
6:43
I think I'm gonna walk around the other
6:45
side
6:50
and off in the distance a few hundred
6:50
yards that direction is the Washington
6:52
Monument but take a look at the planes
6:55
take it off you see a plane going over
6:56
there
6:57
departing from the DC Airport
7:05
every vehicle that goes in has to be
7:05
searched so up here
7:07
there's a you can see there's a canine
7:09
unit
7:10
and then also if you try to drive in
7:12
this way you're gonna have bad luck
7:15
so the
7:17
canine
7:19
will go completely around that minivan
7:21
or that SUV
7:22
and then he'll say good to go not the
7:24
canine with officer so we'll wave them
7:26
through
7:35
got the steam coming out of the ground
7:35
there as the traffic goes by
7:38
directly behind the permeating steam
7:42
is a gift shop over there
7:45
time for a pipey hot caffeinated
7:47
beverage on the corner of Pennsylvania
7:49
Ave
7:51
right over here at Pete's
7:53
also more merchandise on the corner all
7:56
right I got it Pete's now heading over
7:59
this direction this is kind of
8:00
interesting too you get over here it was
8:02
like little Corrals
8:04
almost like cow pens or something I
8:06
don't really know what
8:07
exactly what that is for I guess just to
8:09
like not only have one stanchion here
8:11
you have a secondary stanchion to not
8:14
cross over there however plenty of
8:16
people have crossed over down over that
8:17
way and clearly I'm not the only one
8:19
with the same idea to go up and get a
8:21
view of the White House get a photo in
8:23
front of the white house because there's
8:24
a lot of people
8:26
up here I go up to the front front gate
8:39
yeah quite a few people out here on
8:42
Easter Sunday front of the nation's
8:45
capital in front of the home of the
8:47
president the White House just trying to
8:50
get a little doggy over there
9:07
I would love to meet a living U.S
9:10
president doesn't matter what party it
9:12
is as long as it's a living president
9:13
it's gonna be pretty dang cool you know
9:16
if one was walking around here right now
9:18
I'd probably throw them on camera ask
9:20
them a couple questions ask them what
9:23
their favorite piping hot caffeinated
9:24
beverage would be right I think
9:28
presidents probably drink coffee right
9:56
this guy in front of me walk I turned
9:56
around for a moment I thought it was
9:57
Steve Martin it's not that I thought it
9:59
was all right looking at this I guess I
10:00
was just standing on looking down into
10:03
the North Lawn so you kind of have a
10:06
so it says you are here this is the
10:08
Northeast gate
10:10
East Executive Park Lafayette Park which
10:13
is kind of what I just showed that I was
10:15
standing looking into the North Lawn
10:16
South lawn is where they're going to
10:18
have all the Easter festivities
10:32
this is the treasury Department
10:32
out front is in honor of Albert Gallatin
10:36
Secretary of the Treasury a genius of
10:39
Finance
10:40
I'm not just putting words don't take
10:43
the words out of my mouth
10:45
it says it right there on the sculpture
10:55
I could talk to him if he was still
10:55
alive learn a few things out front of
10:57
this building is Marion Barry Jr
11:01
signified quote mayor
11:04
for life
11:08
more quotes over here most people don't
11:08
know me
11:10
I remember marionberry
11:13
this is for excerpts from his
11:14
autobiography mayor for life
11:21
the immortalized out front of this
11:21
building I'm heading over to one of the
11:23
smithsonians that has a pop culture
11:25
exhibit last time I was here many many a
11:28
few years ago it was under construction
11:31
so I wanted to come back to check that
11:32
out
11:34
across the way there is the Internal
11:36
Revenue Service
11:38
one thing you also see a lot of around
11:41
the Museum District down here are a lot
11:43
of food trucks ice cream trucks food
11:45
trucks Taco stands just a plethora of
11:48
food options that you can get right here
11:50
on the street they're all lined up right
11:52
over there and also during this time is
11:54
the National Cherry Blossom Festival
11:56
they have the banners write up National
11:58
Cherry Blossom Festival is happening
12:01
right now as well this says join the
12:03
entertainment nation which I would like
12:05
to it looks like the Warner Brothers
12:07
theater is closed off for whatever
12:09
reason but last time I was here there
12:12
was really none of this open so a lot of
12:14
the historical stuff yeah this uh steel
12:19
guitar belong to Buddy Evans down here
12:23
it's just a lot of Pop Culture stuff all
12:25
through here that I want to see and just
12:29
kind of so disappointed but definitely
12:32
when I was here last time
12:33
none of this was out
12:35
but I've returned
12:38
it's Peralta skateboard I really like
12:41
this thing punctuality removes the
12:44
necessity of Faking up excuses
12:47
that's a good one
12:54
I know quite a few people that could
12:54
probably learn from that
12:57
I'll have a lot of good qualities in my
12:59
life but I think probably being on time
13:02
is not one of my worst ones a pretty
13:04
pretty decent at that
13:06
this car belongs to Dave Jaramillo
13:10
called Dave's dream this low rider here
13:13
with hydraulics
13:15
it's got the painting on the side Dave
13:19
Jr inscribed there as well
13:23
nice and one thing that's pretty neat as
13:25
a tourist here in DC all the Smithsonian
13:28
exhibits
13:30
do not cost admission at the door
13:33
I'm sure probably taxes I'll pay for
13:35
that and I'll as well but these Mickey
13:38
Mouse ears says here we use on the
13:42
Mickey Mouse Club first used in 1955.
13:46
but that is a discrepancy because you
13:48
could see those Mickey Mouse ears say
13:51
Walt Disney World shouldn't do an open
13:52
till 71. I guess what it could mean is
13:54
those style of ears were first
13:57
shown on the Mickey Mouse Club that
13:58
makes a little bit more sense
14:00
a lot of nostalgia in here obviously
14:03
there's the Odyssey game right here
14:05
there's a Barbie up topic the Barbie
14:07
movies coming out soon
14:23
that even have the brown box here which
14:23
I believe predated pong as the Prototype
14:27
for the first multiplayer
14:29
multi-programmed video game system
14:30
developer between 67 and 69.
14:45
I have to walk through this big
14:45
safe
14:50
door
14:50
wealth is not his that has it but his
14:53
that enjoys it
14:55
look at these coins so this is like you
14:57
see my finger here that's my thumb look
14:59
at the size of that coin this is the
15:02
Ulysses S Grant collection dating back
15:05
to commemorative coins here
15:09
1582 some of them yeah big these
15:13
medallions and plaques by coin artists
15:15
including Benjamin Franklin and Theodore
15:18
Roosevelt here all right I looked on the
15:20
guide map but I didn't see anything
15:21
about a pop culture exhibit so maybe it
15:25
was late last year maybe it's not in 23.
15:28
I'm just gonna wander around see if I
15:29
can find a lot of old posters out here
15:32
and advertisements like Burma shave over
15:34
here as well
15:36
Marlborough country
15:39
now this makes me want to really eat a
15:41
candy bar I could have the physique of
15:44
this guy down here
15:46
and she is just like swooning well
15:49
probably not over him probably over the
15:51
chocolate you know who doesn't like a
15:52
Mars chocolate bar toasted almond bar
15:55
yeah spoiler alert if you live on these
15:58
he won't look like that also and here's
16:00
an advertisement for the fourth TV
16:02
network now there's like a thousand
16:03
channels they're streaming there's just
16:05
all kind of stuff but imagine when
16:06
there's only three networks in the
16:08
fourth Network it was like big news also
16:10
there's Colonel Sanders up there towards
16:12
the roof I am now going up the escalator
16:15
floor
16:24
tons of Italian marble but he's been
16:24
there ever since since we think it's so
16:26
important of him returning that power to
16:28
people it gives you a different way to
16:29
think about that person okay this is a
16:32
clue find the force that's probably the
16:34
area I'm looking for over in three
16:38
three West there's a wagon
16:41
they do have an exhibit over here in
16:42
fact they have the flag that inspired
16:45
the anthem the Star-Spangled Banner down
16:47
there but they they asked no filming in
16:49
that exhibit so I'm up here on the third
16:51
level still looking
16:55
still looking for the pop culture
16:57
exhibit
17:02
all the signs said three West which is
17:02
where I'm at Edison's talking machine
17:05
right over here one of the tin foil
17:07
phonographs used for demonstration back
17:09
in 1873 and then Bell's graphophone is
17:15
over dated 1886 over here
17:18
take a look at this is how you would
17:20
listen to music the records there all
17:22
right this could be what I am thinking
17:23
of the Ray and Dagmar Dolby Hall of
17:26
American culture where they have a vast
17:29
amount of different pop culture items
17:31
let's just call this the pop culture
17:32
Museum that I was thinking at the
17:34
Smithsonian the American culture the
17:37
first thing I'm drawn through when I
17:38
first walk in here are the screen used
17:40
costumes of 3PO and R2D2 for my favorite
17:44
of the Star Wars from Return of the Jedi
17:46
Jedi Luke green saber this was R2 and
17:50
3PO screen used in that in that film and
17:53
also the very first sock puppet of
17:55
Kermit that was that was made by Jim
17:57
Henson is also in here which is pretty
17:59
fascinating when you think about it the
18:01
very first one you can see it's got a
18:02
little bit of usage on it and everything
18:03
over the years also Dorothy's ruby
18:06
slippers dated back to 1939 I believe
18:09
there were a few different ones of these
18:10
these were obviously screen used but I
18:12
think there was more than one I think
18:14
there's one at the Academy Museum in La
18:15
as well unless maybe they just transfer
18:17
it around mobily also Joe Lewis's boxing
18:20
gloves from his first bout back in 1936
18:22
with Max I'm not sure how to pronounce
18:24
his name Max Schmeling but these were
18:27
these belong to Joe Lewis and then also
18:29
with the it it filmed at the Malibu
18:32
Creek State Park was the signpost on the
18:35
set of mash I've been out there I've
18:36
hiked around out there but from 1982 the
18:39
signpost you see Boston at the top
18:40
Honolulu at the bottom Burbank in the
18:43
middle San Francisco Tokyo the vast
18:45
amount of different ones but this was
18:47
out at the filming locations in
18:49
California which is pretty dang pretty
18:51
dang cool next up was Sylvester Stallone
18:53
boxing Row from Rocky in
18:55
1976 that he wore in the film itself and
18:59
you kind of scan around or some sci-fi
19:01
stuff as well including the prop egg
19:04
from Alien not aliens I kind of like
19:06
aliens better than alien but alien was
19:08
pretty pretty terrible Cyndi Lauper's
19:10
scream used while photograph used you
19:14
know from the album cover of she's so so
19:16
unusual love Cindy Lauper never thought
19:18
I'd actually see the the dress that she
19:20
had which is pretty awesome even
19:21
Muhammad Ali wore this back in 1974 when
19:24
he when he went up against George
19:26
Foreman
19:27
and this I've always heard of it's kind
19:29
of interesting that they have the chair
19:31
Archie Bunker and Edith's chairs from
19:33
All in the Family back in the 70s like
19:36
you know as awesome as this is I kind of
19:39
wish that the Three's Company couch had
19:41
been saved and was in the museum
19:42
somewhere
19:43
you know in a Smithsonian or any but I
19:45
think that was just kind of thrown in
19:46
the dumpster but they do have Archie
19:48
Bunker's chair and eat his chair from
19:50
All in the Family which is pretty pretty
19:52
dang cool and not just out here also
19:54
other stuff like Mr Rogers his outfit Mr
19:57
Rogers and then Oscar the Groff screen
19:59
used Oscar the Grouch and howdy Duty
20:01
just a wide variety of stuff
20:04
you know definitely worth checking out
20:06
I'm really glad it's open
20:07
even Catwoman Julie newmar's outfit that
20:11
she wore her her ears and whatnot as
20:13
well
20:14
definitely worth checking out I think
20:16
I'm going to leave on the way out and
20:17
show one last thing
20:19
Clayton Moore The Lone Ranger wore this
20:21
very mask
20:23
also filmed in California as well The
20:25
Lone Ranger Rock I've been there too
20:26
it's just such a great great exhibit
20:28
definitely worth stopping in
20:34
kind of curious to see also if the
20:37
Starship Enterprise
20:39
still over at the air museum
20:42
see if I can go and walk over there and
20:43
find that
20:44
well here you can see the Capitol
20:46
Building off in the distance a lot of
20:47
ice cream
20:51
food trucks I think all these Food Shops
20:51
are bubble tea boba tea ice cream
20:55
museum of natural is this where they
20:57
have the
21:02
I think there's like a Tusk woolly
21:02
mammoth in here if I recall correctly
21:04
maybe this is the one okay it's
21:06
basically an elephant
21:08
so I'm this just reminds me of gosh
21:11
probably 10 or someone just dropped a
21:13
jacket down off the little about 10 or
21:16
11 years ago it was right when I
21:19
foreign
21:26
no dropping of jackets off the upper
21:26
level so when I first started YouTube I
21:29
quit my job in August 9th of 2011. and
21:33
just started traveling in my van was
21:34
sleeping in my van
21:36
and the first time I came to DC after
21:38
that it wasn't like it may not have been
21:40
that first couple months
21:42
it might have been into early 2013 late
21:44
2012 early
21:46
2013. within that first year I came here
21:50
to this very building and I believe I
21:52
was up there
21:54
or maybe up there but I was on the
21:56
second level and I was looking down at
21:57
this and I started to get a little Misty
21:59
I started to get a little emotional
22:01
because it was on a weekday and I
22:03
thought to myself I should be at work
22:04
because I was so used to working you
22:07
know a banker's hour type of job even
22:08
though I work Monday through Thursday I
22:10
work 10 hour shifts the last job I had
22:11
at a feed store
22:13
we're eight to six every day Monday
22:15
through Thursday and it was like you
22:16
know it was like on a Monday or Tuesday
22:18
or Wednesday it was one of those days I
22:19
should have been at work in Saint Cloud
22:20
Florida and I was in DC looking at this
22:23
and I thought to myself
22:25
what am I doing
22:28
and I just was overcome with emotion
22:30
whether it be good whether it be bad
22:32
probably happy happy emotions happy
22:35
tears if you will I mean it wasn't a
22:37
full-on cry Fest but I definitely got a
22:40
little misty-eyed up there looking down
22:42
at this thinking to myself I I'm we're
22:45
really doing it aren't we buddy trying
22:46
to use Dumb and Dumber but I was talking
22:48
to myself yeah
22:50
just now I'm back in here I think it's
22:52
the first time I've stepped foot and
22:52
looked at this
22:53
test elephant since then anyway
22:56
I digress for a little bit but back to
22:59
DC you could spend a week in DC looking
23:02
at everything honestly it's really good
23:12
amazing
23:14
just an amazing amazing place I ended up
23:17
getting a tea oh it's a honeydew I asked
23:20
if it was pretty good they said oh yeah
23:21
it's pretty good
23:22
give me a this was ten dollars
23:25
different flavors and whatnot
23:28
all right I'm gonna walk around they got
23:30
the right idea to block the sun with
23:32
those Yellow Bones it is pretty darn
23:34
good
23:35
get one of the Little Boba balls in the
23:37
straw there stuck in the straw
23:44
all right I'm on a quest to see
23:44
it's the Enterprise
23:46
over at the other Museum quite a few
23:48
people out today enjoying this beautiful
23:50
weather
23:52
scenic
23:57
structures here at the mall that's what
23:57
they call it the mall doing some heavy
23:59
construction over here
24:00
the National Air and Space Museum
24:08
says entrance on Independence Ave
24:08
I gotta wonder how many of these ice
24:11
cream boba tea food trucks
24:24
no more passes available for that I mean
24:24
it is Easter so that kind of makes sense
24:25
but it's interesting all the other ones
24:26
you just walk right in no big deal I
24:29
guess this is a little more popular
24:30
than some of the other ones you guys
24:32
wonder why there was a long line over
24:34
there I guess they already have their
24:35
passes
24:36
it may not be the best day to be in DC
24:38
to try to do touristy things but I'm
24:40
doing it anyway whenever I look at the
24:43
I immediately think of Bad Brains
24:47
one of my favorite punk pants
24:55
that's a very beautiful Ducks here in
24:55
the little Pond out front they reflector
24:58
I wouldn't call this a reflecting part
24:59
well maybe it was really funny I guess
25:01
you could do some reflecting when you're
25:02
looking over here yes some very
25:04
beautiful talks
25:06
right there it's like they're doing some
25:08
construction on it the whole front
25:10
facade
25:28
there it is Capitol building
25:28
you can see how they got the little
25:30
scrim up there
25:31
the covering I think when the president
25:33
is inaugurated I think that's where he
25:35
stands in this whole area is just full
25:37
of people all the way back down
25:39
I think this is the side
25:42
pretty sure this is aside four
25:44
posterity what is that noise
25:48
like a horn or something of a poor
25:51
posterity
25:56
and over here too it's like the water
25:56
fountains are always constantly on
25:59
I mean I use self pumping gas nozzles
26:01
but I've never seen a self-propelled
26:04
pumping
26:05
water water faucet for drinking out
26:09
look how it kind of slows around almost
26:11
like a snake squirreling around there
26:13
you like the drinking fountain I know
26:15
yeah yeah yeah
26:20
I've just never seen one that's always
26:20
on like that yeah
26:43
all right I believe I'm gonna walk all
26:43
the way up to the front and get a little
26:44
bit of a closer peek at the front of the
26:46
building as well instead of just
26:47
standing all the way in the back I
26:48
walked all the way up to the front yeah
26:49
you can walk up here they do not have it
26:51
blocked off or obscured anybody can just
26:54
walk up all the way close to the
26:56
fountain at the front and look at the
26:58
front of the Capitol Building from this
27:00
angle I think it might actually be
27:01
around the back of the Capitol building
27:02
but I don't know because you see the
27:04
front of the back but this is the most
27:05
popular photographed area of the Capitol
27:06
building and one thanks for sure today
27:08
I'm definitely going to get some steps
27:09
up
27:10
the end of the video
27:12
I'll throw in the total that I walked
27:19
I guess probably
27:19
there is a blue
27:22
chicken up on that little banister up
27:25
there on that roof line
27:30
sure why the chicken's blue and I'm not
27:32
sure why it's oversizing up there
27:35
there it is
27:50
I think that's probably
27:50
I don't know if that's the words that
27:51
were used but
28:10
this is a pretty cool little fact over
28:10
here
28:21
at 601 Pennsylvania Ave on this site
28:21
back in 1814 the Star-Spangled Banner
28:25
was first sung in public the most famous
28:28
of several hotels on the Block was brown
28:29
marble Hotel
28:31
a Greek Landmark where John Tyler and
28:33
Abraham Lincoln were guests the 1830s
28:36
Beverly snow operated a restaurant on
28:39
the corner of 6th Ave and Atlantic
28:41
coastline
28:42
and that is where
28:45
the first
28:46
Star Spangled Banner Star Spangled
28:49
Banner was sung to the public song in
28:53
private obviously to practice
28:54
pretty dang cool
28:57
and I hear the Star-Spangled Banner
28:59
probably
29:01
I don't know how many times a year but
29:02
when you go to baseball games
29:04
a lot
29:05
beginning of every baseball game and
29:07
pretty much every sporting event but I
29:09
only watch baseball so
29:11
yeah a lot of
29:13
a lot of Renditions I've heard of that
29:15
the first one was right here on this
29:16
corner on this site 1601 Pennsylvania
29:19
Ave that is pretty dang cool over in
29:21
front of the National Bank of Washington
29:24
our very interesting picnic tables they
29:27
are made up
29:28
of swings you can like sit here
29:30
someone's left their food and their
29:32
beverages but yeah they're like made out
29:33
of swings take a look at that you can
29:36
sit and swing while you eat your meal
29:59
hello birdie
29:59
nice to meet you too
30:02
saying hi
30:04
making my way back over
30:06
to my rental car now
30:31
America's holding existing religious
30:31
newspaper was first published on the
30:33
city block at 925 E Street in February
30:36
of 80 of 1822.
30:43
I was like when places have these little
30:43
placards out
30:45
let you know the history of things that
30:46
you would just walk right past and not
30:47
know I think there's another one of the
30:49
trolleys
30:54
this whole church is pretty awesome
30:54
looking
30:56
you see almost looks like a clock up top
30:58
I guess I'd probably be like a stained
30:59
glass maybe the
31:00
Sun could go through it
31:03
now originally the place I parked at
31:05
it's about a half a block from here but
31:07
I was going to park
31:08
down in over here on 975 Carol but I
31:11
would have had to move my car by one
31:14
but it looks like it's still open even
31:15
at three so maybe they were
31:18
maybe they kept it open a little longer
31:19
but I didn't want to take a chance so I
31:21
went to a different one
31:23
but they opened they opened this up for
31:25
Easter Sunday church service and some of
31:27
the other ones down here which I think
31:29
are usually closed on Sunday it might
31:30
have had open
31:31
today I'm not really sure but
31:33
they said they were going to close that
31:34
one on one but the door's still open
31:36
nonetheless I parked at a different one
31:38
but I want to point out how impressive
31:39
looking this Old Brick Church is back
31:41
over in the parking structure says take
31:43
ticket with you which I did
31:46
that's a big ticket
31:53
in fact you need the ticket
31:53
to open this door from the street level
31:55
where you can
31:57
I think I'm gonna carry my ticket just
31:59
like this
32:17
price of parking 22.35 for the full day
32:17
I think that's pretty much worth it to
32:19
not drive around
32:20
trying to figure out where to park
32:26
and I could have stayed here till
32:26
midnight if I so choose
32:28
and I'm getting dumped out right next to
32:31
Ford Theater
33:19
so this what's the channel again
33:19
DC news now
33:21
so this is Bumblebee that's bumblebee
33:24
that's bumblebee this is Optimus so I
33:28
guess there's like a little bit of a
33:30
hooplot a stink over the homeowner
33:32
having this out here but right next is
33:34
the Exorcist house over here yeah nice
33:36
to meet you you bet Take Care thank you
33:39
for now I was just interviewed for the
33:40
news station
33:42
so much to see if that ends up on there
33:44
DC news now I think for DC News Nine
33:46
anyway on the way back to my hotel I
33:49
wanted to swing by though because this
33:50
was my favorite horror film actually
33:51
some the owners pulling in there now so
33:54
this was The Exorcist house
33:55
where Reagan
34:01
oh like checking out the cherry blossoms
34:01
are blooming
34:02
so if you've ever seen the film I highly
34:04
recommend it it's very scary very very
34:06
scary film but here on the corner of
34:08
prospect 3600 Street Northwest Prospect
34:12
is where the priest gets out comes out
34:14
stands right here
34:16
they built an extension onto the house
34:21
and so when flies out the window at the
34:23
end the priest Karis flies out the
34:25
window at the end goes down the stairs
34:27
the stairs are right over here or where
34:30
the priest gets dropped off I believe
34:31
was like in a taxi
34:32
gets out of the vehicle stands here and
34:36
you see the extension of the house here
34:38
this is screen use original formation
34:40
here and then the uh the priest was
34:43
standing here
34:44
and the fog and everything was there and
34:48
the angle would have been kind of like
34:50
kind of like that many years ago I did
34:52
an entire filming location of it
34:54
is easily searchable you know probably
34:57
I probably
34:58
I think I missed a couple things but I
35:00
got the majority of it I got the the
35:02
school the church the house the steps
35:04
all that it's a corner of 36th Street
35:06
and Prospect that's probably my first
35:09
filming locations
35:17
much too Vulgar Display of Power
35:17
Pantera got the name of there their
35:19
album from that so the house extended
35:22
over this way
35:24
and Karis threw himself down these
35:27
stairs
35:28
look at this
35:30
when I think of stairs those guys are
35:33
running up fast
35:34
I definitely think of The Exorcist stops
35:37
I mean a lot of people think of the
35:39
The Joker steps but I would say this is
35:41
definitely
35:42
for me man Horror history right here and
35:46
that's gonna do it for today ending here
35:50
let's try outfit
35:53
filming location
35:56
I'll see you in the next video the Vlog
35:58
just don't jump down the stairs
36:01
looking looking for for Reagan
36:04
that's a President Reagan
36:08
she was up in the top room up there man
36:17
very few horror films scare me
36:17
that one scared me
36:26
that's a doozy that one The Omen shining
36:26
the other ones are kind of campy I could
36:28
kind of look at them as like a
36:30
kind of almost fun in a way those three
36:32
or four in this one not a fun film
36:34
horrifying I'll see you in the next
36:37
video
36:41
he's right over there Georgetown in DC
36:43
are kind of right beside each other the
36:44
Vlog
36:45
I'm gonna make it on the news that'd be
36:47
kind of cool it'd be kind of weird
36:48
impossible
36:50
Vlog is over this is how close the steps
36:55
are
36:56
film
37:03
to DC it was downtown over there
37:03
so if you go up these stairs I'm gonna
37:05
walk this is bonus footage by the way
37:07
bonus footage is the bottom of the
37:28
1973 William Friedman
37:28
Warner Brothers
37:41
he's laying right here
