TDW 1318 - Goodbye 6th Street Bridge : LA River

0:02 Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here.

0:02 Happy Tuesday. It's my second channel,

0:04 Daily Vlog channel. And once again, the

0:06 carpet bagger is joining me in downtown

0:09 Los Angeles here on the daily. Woo. And

0:12 I want to show you something pretty

0:14 amazing that lies up this dongridden

0:19 staircase. Yes, there is human feces and

0:22 poop and graffiti and a weird blue

0:25 rubber glove.

0:27 Make sure to show this underwear right

0:28 now. underwear that is there. Let's go

0:31 up to the top of this bridge. Showing

0:35 some shoes, some very putrescent,

0:39 very smelly

0:41 odor on this little area. You could even

0:44 say that it smells so bad that you might

0:47 say, "Ahoy,

0:48 I'm about to barf. Ohoy, I'm about to

0:53 barf." We are on the Seventh Street

0:56 Bridge over the Los Angeles River. Just

1:00 take a look at this.

1:02 You can see the traffic going by to and

1:05 fro. The Los Angeles River is a cultural

1:10 icon. TV shows, movies, television,

1:14 commercials. The Seventh Street Bridge

1:17 that we are walking on has been here for

1:19 decades and decades and decades and is

1:22 not going anywhere. The f the same

1:24 cannot be said for the sixth street

1:28 bridge which is actually right over

1:31 there that right now construction

1:34 demolition if you will has began on the

1:38 bridge and the carpet bagger is very sad

1:41 to see it go because you are a fan of

1:43 the movie Greece

1:45 and you are a fan of the movie

1:46 Transformers perhaps.

1:48 Sure. That is two of the biggest movies

1:51 that you guys will probably recognize,

1:54 the Sixth Street Bridge from, but it was

1:56 used in a plethora of other movies.

1:59 Right here, the sign says the Los

2:02 Angeles River. And I don't know what

2:04 this is. What is this?

2:06 Uh, some sort of sandwich that has

2:08 exploded.

2:10 Looks like

2:14 it's either a sandwich or some sort of

2:16 carcass that has been plastered across

2:21 there. All right, let's take a look

2:23 though. There's the LA River in that

2:25 direction. Seventh Street, 8th Street,

2:28 Sixth Street. Prepare yourself now for

2:31 the final view of the Sixth Street

2:35 Bridge. Some would say more significant

2:38 or just as significant as a cultural

2:42 icon as the Hollywood signs. Millions of

2:47 television,

2:49 movies, commercials,

2:52 independent films, YouTube videos have

2:55 been filmed facing that way. Are you

2:58 guys ready for this? Are you ready for

2:59 this?

2:59 I'm ready

3:00 to feast your eyes on this.

3:05 come

3:13 the Los Angeles River and that historic

3:13 bridge of course with those arches and

3:16 that very elevated bridge in the

3:18 background. And you'll notice there are

3:20 no cars, trucks, pedestrians.

3:24 Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

3:26 Oh, there is a

3:27 man.

3:28 There's a man down there. That's a man,

3:31 baby. Not a baby. Not a man, baby.

3:34 That's a man baby right down there

3:37 waiting in the water.

3:39 Hopefully he will move before they

3:40 implode the bridge.

3:42 See, are they actually going to implode

3:43 the bridge? I think from what I could

3:45 tell is we had to park over here near

3:48 the foothill of the bridge and walk up

3:51 this way. There's so much construction

3:53 over there and you do not want to

3:55 trespass on a construction zone. So, we

3:58 decided to actually get basically the

4:00 view of what you always see in the

4:02 movies. Here's what I want you to do. I

4:04 want everyone watching at home who are

4:07 on their smartphones to do a little

4:09 Columbbo like research. And you know

4:11 what I'm going to ask them to do, don't

4:13 you?

4:13 Find out which movies were filmed at

4:16 this location. How many how many drag

4:19 races have happened in this

4:21 Right. Exactly. See, you're reading my

4:23 mind. We are asking you to do a little

4:26 homework assignment in the comment

4:28 section down below. How many movies have

4:31 been filmed in the LA River and used?

4:33 I will be grading your answers.

4:35 Oh, we have the teacher of the day right

4:38 here. Mr. Carpet Bagger. Mr. Carpet is

4:43 your first name and Bagger is your last

4:45 name. Look, you can see they are

4:48 starting to move in some heavy machinery

4:50 and they are starting to destroy. And

4:54 actually, you cannot even drive across

4:56 the bridge anymore. I was saying there's

4:58 no cars, no trucks going across the

5:00 bridge. In fact, the entrance and the

5:03 exit to the bridge is completely blocked

5:07 off. This will be no more in a short

5:11 matter of weeks or months, maybe even

5:14 less. This icon will be gone. Now, the

5:17 real question I would like to ponder to

5:19 you after you actually do your research

5:21 to actually look up the movies and

5:23 television shows that have been filmed

5:25 in this exact spot. The question is, why

5:28 are they removing such a historic

5:31 landmark? Why? I have so many memories

5:34 of all those TV shows that I've seen

5:38 right down there. people waiting in the

5:40 water and like you were saying the drag

5:42 racing that happens right down through

5:45 here and all those famous movies. And I

5:48 always thought when I would watch this

5:49 as a kid, I would always think that

5:52 anyone could just go to the LA River and

5:54 you could just easily ac easily

5:56 accessible meander down there. That is

5:58 not the case. There is like barb wire

6:00 fences up tunnel right there.

6:01 You would have to go through that tunnel

6:02 shaw shank redemption style if you

6:05 wanted to get inside of there. You would

6:07 have to go

6:07 head down there to the tunnel there,

6:08 Adam.

6:09 No, no, no. We're not going to go down

6:10 there. We're going to like stay right up

6:11 here and get this view. But there are

6:14 some people down there either doing an

6:17 explicit or illicit or illegal activity

6:22 down there. Or maybe let's just pretend

6:25 they're paying their respects to the

6:27 sixth street.

6:29 Flowers.

6:30 They're going to leave it some flowers.

6:32 Rest in peace. Let's get one final shot

6:34 here. Let's get one final shot and we'll

6:36 have a moment of quietness. A moment of

6:39 quietness for the Sixth Street Bridge.

6:43 And thank you to everyone who suggested

6:46 this. We were in the area. This is your

6:48 last day here in LA or Orange County.

6:50 You fly out tomorrow morning. And a lot

6:53 of people always suggest stuff on social

6:54 media, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

6:56 And a lot of people were saying, "Go

6:58 document the LA River Bridge, that

7:01 iconic location before it is gone." So,

7:03 I want to thank you guys for the ideas.

7:05 I always love getting ideas from you

7:07 guys. One last look, moment of quietness

7:09 now at the Sixth Street LA River Bridge.

7:52 The sun is is in his eyes.

7:54 You do not bring your sunglasses.

7:56 Too much sun. Actually, I I can't wear

7:58 sunglasses. My head is too big and I got

8:00 to

8:00 You should try to wear these. Try to

8:02 wear these. Let's switch these.

8:03 I don't want to break them.
