welcome everyone Adam who here with the
0:04
Christmas season fully engulfing
0:06
immersing itself into every nook and
0:09
cranny around us Hollywood California
0:13
Los Angeles hustle and bustle is no
0:16
exception which got me thinking what's
0:19
it like on the series of blocks known as
0:22
the Boulevard so I'm going to take a
0:24
daytime hike a walk down to Vine Street
0:28
about a mile back and forth and then at
0:30
nightfall starting again at the Chinese
0:34
Theater we're just going to get a vibe
0:36
of what the whole ambience is is between
0:40
those two sections join me oh yeah even
0:45
King Kong has got a little bow around
0:47
his neck might be tough to see it under
0:49
the shrouds of these huge structures of
0:51
the Highland Center but there's a tree
0:53
down there next to the fountain it's
0:55
just trying to get a good view of the
0:57
Hollywood sign like everyone else it's
1:00
right up there see it on the side of the
1:04
mountain straight ahead there aren't too
1:06
many places in this weather season
1:08
around the country where water effects
1:10
are happening in a courtyard I love it
1:12
I always like this bird's eye
1:14
perspective up on the balcony deck get a
1:17
good view of the El Capitan next to the
1:19
Jimmy Kimmel theatre and as you shift
1:23
soon you will see downtown Los Angeles
1:26
off on the horizon the intersecting
1:29
streets you're looking at is Highland
1:32
but if you continue on just two ways it
1:35
connects with bi which are two of the
1:37
most popular intersections in Los
1:39
Angeles or dare I say
1:42
the whole us this is a fun place sweet
1:45
as it's spelling out across there neon
1:47
oh it's cool to wander around in there I
1:50
mean where else can you see full Wonka
1:53
displays with an oompa-loompa band
1:55
serenading and floating around on
1:58
gumball balloon bubbles or mr. Stay Puft
2:02
watching them make the chocolate even
2:07
the mistress of the dark
2:09
check out this set of ornaments uses
2:12
skulls I sure do love this historic
2:15
iconic structure let's just stand here a
2:17
moment in bask in its glory
2:25
done basking all right let's move on oh
2:28
yeah you don't even have to tell me I
2:30
know exactly what you want Santa to
2:32
bring you you want that metal you got
2:34
cheated out of at the end of Star Wars
2:36
right maybe this inflatable version can
2:40
help him out with that maybe that's
2:42
what's inside that present might be
2:44
tough to see him but there's another one
2:46
climbing the wall trying to get on the
2:49
roof up there next to the surfboard
2:50
and here we have some reindeer just
2:53
above the swordfish which are upside
2:56
down there kind of discombobulated up
2:59
there next to the candy canes whoa whoa
3:04
I love how the big guy paying no
3:07
attention to the Grinch sitting next to
3:10
him trying to steal his Thunder pay no
3:13
mind to that green fella and if you
3:16
listen closely you can hear his candy
3:19
cane as large candy cane tapping the
3:22
glass trying to get everyone's attention
3:25
that it didn't work that he didn't hear
3:27
you big guy just keep trying just keep
3:32
trying
3:37
they're just avoiding him I sure do love
3:37
the next two pee-wee's star is his doll
3:43
properly adorned looking good mr. Rubens
3:48
looking good
3:50
oh no I'm not sure if you know this or
3:53
not but he's making a list and checking
3:55
it twice he knows if you've been naughty
3:56
or nice
3:58
something has ripped this gentleman's
4:01
head off and replaced from his neck up
4:03
with a holiday a holiday hat
4:15
Shaak edging on this board of mr. Burnes
4:15
from The Simpsons
4:17
towering over that foliage snowflakes
4:21
have fallen from the ground up
4:25
I'd be difficult to get the perspective
4:27
of just how big that wreath is now would
4:31
attempt to jump up there
4:32
basketball style and touch it by being
4:36
watched trust me I'd being being watched
4:40
speaking of celebrating I have a feeling
4:43
this guy really knows how to party just
4:47
a hunch maybe the coolest Kringle I've
4:51
seen in a while we're in those sweet
4:53
shades you filthy animals
4:56
I recognize that phrase from somewhere a
5:00
complete rap overlay of the home alone
5:04
house
5:10
check that out the entire front facade
5:10
of this building that completely changed
5:13
into a residential home I like that
5:20
not sure if Kevin's in there or not but
5:22
you can see how they constructed it by
5:25
putting this wood stretching all the way
5:28
up to the roof line and then very thin
5:33
extra piece of wood that is painted and
5:36
made to look just like the McCallister's
5:40
a couple paint cans on the window watch
5:44
out Wet Bandits he's ready for you in
5:47
reality to climb up to the top of these
5:51
branches to help gain access to the
5:55
structure but beware there's probably
5:58
some spider in there there's gonna be
6:00
laid upon your face by stepping around
6:02
the corner
6:03
crews I'm not in these suburbs of
6:06
Chicago this is what it looks like just
6:08
a few feet away very very clever however
6:12
the snow on the hedges and up there on
6:17
those leaves look up there even the tree
6:26
my sole Easter egg overlooking the
6:26
Capitol Records building
6:41
doesn't seem to be too many people that
6:41
are wandering by even noticing that the
6:43
overlay exists
6:55
I like it a lot though pretty awesome
6:55
someone has tripped the alarm
7:00
I knew they wouldn't get away with that
7:00
robbery they better rod how funny is
7:08
there was an alarm going off inside
7:10
iguana vintage clothing there is a
7:12
sweater sale going on and while these
7:15
are pretty impressive most impressive
7:18
I'm looking for a piece of head wear for
7:21
an old friend he needs to get in the
7:23
mood he doesn't get in the tradition of
7:26
December I'm looking for head wear these
7:31
sweaters are awesome I'm looking for
7:33
head wear I'm not sure if it's his style
7:35
or not I think he'll like it
7:44
I hope you will there we go that's what
7:44
I'm talking about
7:45
Argyle you look very fashionable what do
7:51
you think are you getting into the mood
7:54
I think it suits you yeah I think it
7:59
suits you just fine you can't wear it
8:01
normally on top of the head because we
8:03
won't stand up straight so you have to
8:04
kind of just festoon it on your ear I
8:09
think it looks good
8:17
think it looks good and with that I'm
8:17
gonna take a little bit of a hiatus for
8:19
the next couple hours as the moon starts
8:21
to rise and the Sun starts to descend
8:24
because that's when the illuminations
8:26
come out in full force we will do this
8:29
Trek again in a little bit different
8:32
detail show a few other things I didn't
8:35
show during the daylight hours at
8:38
nightfall so be patient even though it's
8:42
gonna fast forward very quickly see you
8:46
in a moment
9:08
not only are the palms lit up with
9:08
lights put up towards the top
9:20
give the trees a little bit different
9:20
perspective not a hundred percent sure
9:25
what's happening here
9:41
say okay the det cord changes just a
9:41
little the closer you get to Highland
9:44
however see the lights protruding up
9:45
these poles not quite the same and
9:49
there's some stars leaning inward
9:52
towards the road
10:03
and the lot next to the Scientology
10:03
building looks as if they have placed a
10:06
rather elaborate display huge tree a few
10:10
other smaller ones a backdrop of a
10:13
mountain range with snow falling even
10:15
Santa Claus is up there just chilling
10:18
looks like pretty much all by his all
10:21
his lonesome they're calling this the
10:24
winter wonderland all right let's take a
10:28
look at this guy
10:30
Buster on the roof I call him that
10:34
because he's busting a top floor of the
10:38
Ripley's auditorium he's got a big candy
10:42
cane sharp fangs but he has a jolly
10:46
beard in caps and I know the true side
10:51
of Buster he's genuinely a nice guy
10:54
don't let him fool you
10:55
he will not terrorize your dreams or
10:59
slide down your chimney
11:02
in a horrific way he'll put a smile on
11:05
your face and a and a happy movement in
11:11
your step I don't know what I'm saying
11:13
oh yeah big the foot or at least someone
11:18
who looks pretty close in proximity
11:22
Paul goes well I reach the top of this
11:25
escalator should be a different
11:28
perspective when I was here earlier
11:40
oh yeah just a little more colorful not
11:40
only the obvious what's in the front of
11:43
the screen but also the traffic behind
11:47
the shock I love LA
12:00
whoa keeps getting bright and then dark
12:00
Oh the courtyard is changing colors as
12:05
well I see what they're doing now to
12:08
keep dimming and altering the formation
12:11
of the colors
12:31
other times of the year in the past I've
12:31
been by here and there's projections
12:33
they shine on a Chinese Theatre well I
12:35

climbing down the ladder like he just
13:16
