0:26
i have traversed in this area quite a
0:29
bit i used to live
0:30
well on hollywood boulevard for two
0:32
years down closer to
0:34
tommy burgers which is the 101 in
0:37
hollywood
0:38
over near that area i used to walk up
0:40
and down the walk of fame all the time
0:42
we've a lot of times we would like hang
0:44
out and kind of
0:45
peruse the boulevard as well and we're
0:48
back
0:54
there might be and there were plenty of
0:54
parking spots
0:55
here i've never seen a hollywood parking
0:57
garage this empty
0:59
selfie and as the recording of this july
1:02

1:03
2021 july has officially arrived
1:10
happy july 1st now usually we have like

1:27
cheers
1:27
now we're going up away from the orange
1:29
wall now we're on to p2
1:31
which is a blue wall maybe our faces
1:34
would look a lot different
1:36
with the blue wall instead of
1:55
a parking structure horror movie now
1:55
we're not the only ones that parked
1:57
we're not the only ones that we're not
1:58
the only ones that parked so i believe
2:00
it was allowed but
2:02
judging by how few or how the
2:04
construction
2:05
maybe that parking lot wasn't open but
2:06
they'll probably still charge us
2:07
nonetheless
2:08
there we go welcome to hollywood right
2:10
here along this foliage wall and right
2:12
over here it says the road to hollywood
2:14
they have the casting couch here if you
2:15
look up there
2:16

2:19
on the second level now getting a view
2:21
of the sign up there on the top of the
2:22
hill got the elephants up top and it
2:24
looks like
2:24
the fountain down here is off at the
2:26
moment no fountain the fountain is
2:28

2:28
yeah it used to be a can i think it was
2:30
called sweets the sign was right up
2:31

going even to 2020 2021
3:01
22 and 23 are still to be
3:04
determined now during usual times you
3:06
would never get a clear staircase on a
3:08
busy day
3:09
you know how many times i've been here
3:10
in the past trying to wait for people to
3:12
walk up and down
3:13

3:18
sprinkles cupcake dispenser it's a
3:20
vending machine
3:21
for sprinkles cupcakes i've tried these
3:23
at disney springs in florida
3:25

oh gosh over a year maybe buster up
11:46
there on the top of
11:47
ripley's believe it or not i call him

buster because he's a dinosaur busting
11:50
out of the top of the roof on
11:52
hollywood and highland good to see you
11:53
buster been a while looks as if the
11:55
hollywood museum the old max factor
11:57
building
11:58
that they would do all the the hair and
12:01
makeup in is now the hollywood museum is
12:03
all boarded up still
12:04
out front they have these scooters but
12:06
yeah it's all sealed up
12:08
look at the door is all sealed oh it
12:10
even says max factor makeup studio
12:14
this is recreated in a lot of places
12:16
this is recreated at hollywood studios
12:18
and also there's a building that looks
12:20
exactly like this at disney springs
12:23
just as you're walking out of the area
12:26
kind of past gideon's and you go past
12:27
before you go over the bridge
12:29
near the balloon there's a building that
12:31
looks like this and a smaller version of
12:33
this
12:33
is recreated at disney's hollywood
12:37
in orlando but yeah you can usually
12:38
right here you can see they have like
12:40
some display stuff behind the glass
12:42
it's all boarded up and spray painted
12:44
gray
12:48
you think it's close do you think it's
12:48
closed for good not pretty good
12:50
not for good because there hasn't been
12:53
any announcements anywhere i feel like
12:54
that would be
12:55
something of an lady oh mel's diner's
12:59
closed too
13:00
look at this mel's is also closed wow
13:04
we were thinking about getting food
13:06
somewhere and one of the options in my
13:07
brain i thought well we can go to mel's
13:09
maybe because we've eaten here in the
13:10
past
13:16
we ate here once and when we walked out
13:16
i heard some music across the way at
13:17
jimmy kimmel
13:19
and fall out boy it was fall out boy
13:20
right yeah
13:22
randomly we got to walk yeah we got to
13:24
walk over and see fall out boy
13:27
a total random memory
13:30
right over there right over in that
13:32
parking lot
13:35
memories at mel's right up top there
13:38
memories of mel's got catwoman crossing
13:41
the road over there
13:55
next to this building across from the
13:55
best souvenir stand
13:56
the corner of macadam a couple years ago
13:59
i
14:00
came down here to see aerosmith get
14:01
their star well just adjacent to the
14:03
museum of illusions
14:05
and you can see the difference in the
14:07
the hue of
14:08
so you said hugh earlier and now i'm
14:11
using your word with hue
14:12
yeah the at the beginning of the video
14:14
we had the hue of the backdrop in the
14:16
parking structure
14:17
but notice how the aerosmith star is not
14:19
completed it's like a template
14:21
see how it looks different than this one
14:24
does or all the other ones
14:25
and they didn't ever show up it got
14:27
rained out so steven tyler and the rest
14:29
of aerosmith
14:31
never arrived and now it just sits here
14:34
unfinished it's like three quarters of
14:36
the way finished they've never got a
14:37
proper
14:38
ceremony and they are located right over
14:41
next to tim conway
14:42

14:45
cube
14:47
tim conway man love tim conway apple

15:04
dice from fast times at richmond high
15:08

15:11
to point this building
15:12
out on the corner of whitley and
15:13
hollywood boulevard this is recreated at
15:15
disney hollywood studios in orlando also
15:17
right when you're walking past the

15:21
down what they consider hollywood
15:22
boulevard that building right there
15:24

15:29
time i'd walk to boulevard pretty often
15:32
walking back and forth
15:33
from the chinese theater to my apartment

15:36
just a little disagreement one of those
15:37

15:41
myself a slice of pizza oh yeah bring it
15:43
back some memories from 2017 to 2019.
15:46
before turning around and looping back
15:48
up the other side of the boulevard
15:49
i wanted to show this mural which has
15:51
been here for a heck of a long time
15:53

16:53
looks like crocodile dundee but it's not
16:55

16:56

17:01
faded out but that's chris reeves

17:25
wilcox
17:26
and head back down the way we just walk
17:28

17:33
big lebowski's brewing company the dudes
17:37
brewing company and got the kobe
17:40

17:42

17:49
this guy from big lebowski well he's got
17:52
the bowling ball up to his mouth he's
17:54
kissing that
17:54
kind of made it full circle back to the
17:58
off buses below the el capitan
18:07
there was a time when they had those
18:07
elephants there they were based on a dw
18:09
griffith
18:10
film from back in the day that that sat
18:12
on the corner of
18:14
sunset in hollywood which is that way a
18:16
few miles and they recreated it
18:18
this is way back in the day they've
18:20
recreated it here
18:22
but at dca they used to have the
18:24
elephants when you're walking
18:26
into their little hollywood land
18:27
hollywood area but they've removed them
18:30
back when stan lee had his handprint
18:32
ceremony in front of the theater here
18:34
i stood right up here on this little
18:37
balcony
18:38
and kind of zoomed in as he was over
18:41
placing his hands in the concrete in
18:44
front of the theater
18:45
and many years ago this here this piano
18:48
staircase
18:49
used to be activated by these little
18:51
little mechanisms on the side that would
18:53
read whenever you took a step
18:55
and when you took a step it would play
18:56
the note of each piano key all the way
18:59
up but it no longer does that it no
19:01
longer makes
19:02
the noise so before when you would step
19:04
right here
19:06
it would make a piano noise you can see
19:08
that's how that's how it used to be but
19:10
it hasn't worked for a long time
19:16
it's no longer working there's also an
19:16
escalator over there
19:18
it makes it a little easier than walking
19:19
up it was pretty neat when it worked
19:23
but it's been a while taking the
19:25
escalator up
19:26
and getting a better view up here of the
19:29
elephants
19:30
that are at the tippy top of these
19:32
little pylons
19:33
right there and i love you can see the
19:35
mural over there of john ritter
19:42
right there john ritter and from way up
19:42
here you get a really good view of
19:43
downtown
19:44
l.a los angeles off in the distance i'll
19:47
kind of zoom in a little bit too
19:49
up on the third well i guess third maybe
19:51
fourth floor
19:52
so you see the series of escalators
19:55
going all the way down
19:56
and there's spider-man and chewy down
20:05
a real beehive of activity a lot more
20:05
busy than it has been
20:07
you know six months ago there was hardly
20:09
anybody down here a year ago there was
20:10
no one down here
20:12
but it is not as busy as it as it
20:15
usually is
20:17
pre-2020 back in 2019 and earlier
20:20
this place would be very very busy this
20:22
time of the day
20:23
strolling around how many chewies are
20:24
down there there's two chewies
20:26
there's an imposter there's an imposter
20:29
chewie
20:35
the battle of the chews oh look they're
20:35
acting like they don't know each other
20:37
oh and here's a gentleman dressed as
20:39
batman
20:48
right down there he's yelling something
20:48
so he got chewy
20:49
i think chewie's checking his cell phone
20:51
maybe just checking his text messages
20:57
where's the other chewy go oh there's
20:58
chili chewy down here
21:00
chewy i don't think he can hear me
21:16
and there's buster
21:16
and just past the kobe mural you can see
21:18
the top of the chinese theater over
21:31
don't look down i think he can rent
21:31
those sports cars down there freddy
21:32
krueger is uh having some words there
21:34
with chewie
21:35
i don't know if he's like friends with
21:36
them or maybe they're just having a
21:37
little confrontation
21:38
but freddy krueger has arrived on the
21:40

25:54
argyle the pig is a topiary pig used to
25:57
