    Banksy has been one of my favorite artists along with Storm Thorgerson. My fav Banksy artwork is definitely "Snow"

    Best channel on UA-cam, So happy I found you 6 months ago when I had covid. Its so cool that all of this stuff you do is on your doorstep and you can just go out and do it!. I know there is plenty of History in London, I just can't be bothered to do it haha.. especially when it is cold, wet and windy most of the time.

    So cool. I'm in England, and he did one in my hometown a stone's throw from my flat. Now, there's another one close by to where I live now too. I suspect he lives not that far away from where I live now. We also have something like the Angel's Flight in my hometown. It's called "The Leas Lift".
    Side note: I'm going through a really tough time right now. Little cheers me up. I'm chronically ill and disabled, life can be very isolating. I love travel and explore, but I can't anymore. Thank you so much for doing what you do. It helps.

    I had learned about banks while watching the BBC’s satirical series, ‘The Windsors’, when Eugenia is hired by an art gallery and she thinks a spray painted penis is a Banksy. That led me down a rabbit hole and learned all aboutBanksy. I found it absolutely fascinating. Thank you for this great tour.

    That park has been closed to the public for over 10 years now it’s actually been in talks about building more there but still trying to figure out whether to keep it a park or not. They filmed 500 days of summer at that park one of my faves! They also filmed at the Bradbury !

    As a fellow 'Burgh native, was wondering if you were going to mention either of the inclines . The top of Mt. Washington and popping out of the Ft. Pitt tunnel are not to be missed, for sure. How cool you guys got to see a Banksy. It's great someone thought to preserve it.

    I'm pretty sure that overgrown park is from 500 Days of Summer where they sit on that middle bench together. If you look up a photo you can see the darker brown rectangle building in the distance just like in your shot. Last I was there the park had been already been closed for years.

    Banksy's real name is Robin Gunningham. He's a street artist and activist who originally went by the name Robin Banks, and then he took on the more famously known alias, Banksy.

    So, Grimmlife. I was having a hard day the other day. You know those days when your microwave dies, the people who deliver don't follow directions, your perishables are outside spoiling because you are using a walker and can't get down the stairs to them, you need a redelivery and it will take hours and the shopping app says so many different things so you don't know WHEN you will get things? Yeah. I was having one of THOSE days. And I thought. " What can I do to destress"? Grimm! It released the tension. Thank you for that.

    Great video yet again guys, thanks! Love the Angel Flight. Looks very similar to the one we have at Scarborough here in the UK, although I think the Scarborough cliff tram is a little older and shorter than the Angel flight. Much better looking than the metal escalators don't you think? Thanks again guys!

    It was creatively done, and they tried their best but my favourite Batman was Christian Bale.
    I’m looking forward to see Morbius with super talented Jared !
    I loved him in ‘The little things’ with Denzel Washington- fabulous thriller/ mystery- loved the tricky unanswered ending, I still don’t know who the killer was.💐

Interesting you pointed out that information thing about the Bradbury Building, as I thought of the same thing in Rome. In Rome, there are many signs with information on famous films shot at a particular place. I usually try to get a shot of them when I see them.

He never had a pictures of himself because of the nature of his work, but I liked what he did, and I would post on his Flickr site threads... I later learned who he was... My small little brush with greatness.... Great, episode GriMMs--- thanks, for taking us along, again.... :^)""""""""""""""

    Hi, i’m big fan of your work. You dig to the end to find details of any location. I would like to suggest a video. The location of the video clips under the bridge RHCP and the cemetery location for November Rain GnR. I’ve tried to research but what i found it was vague and uncompromised information. But I’m sure both were recorded in LA. Thanks !

    Oh, that would have sooo disappointed me about the Bradbury Building. I heard that they changed that big old historical cafeteria building with the tree in it (CLIFTON's!) into some kind of venue space. :( It is awesome that you got to ride Angels' Flight. Seems like that is always down too because someone messed it up or it has to be fixed or something. You were lucky!
