    JOrdan, you are such a great storyteller, researcher and vlogger. You put your heart and soul into each vlog. You research and find things about your subject that many have overlooked. llook forward to your vlogs every day. You are the sunshine in my day. Of course I love Jah too!

    This guy sounds so neat and to live to that ripe old age is marvelous. I love they way he said people called it junk and he called in a masterpiece, he kept a lot of stuff out of the landfills even back then. Love this vlog and what a creative house. Please give Jah a hug for me!

    Love the place and that man sounded like he would have been interesting to meet and get to know. The owner/tour guide really loves the property and history and it’s awesome hag they keep it going. Jordan, thank you for showing us this place. And thanks for letting your enthusiasm show, it added to the fun. 😊

    This has to be your funniest vlog yet. I just love this. Leave it to you Jordan to find the funny spots in California. Very interesting vlog. Sad the man had to be removed from his home. Can't wait to see where you take us next. Thanks a lot Jordan.

    Jordan you've outdone yourself! Every creature is so important no matter what shortcomings. Art Beal's life's work in progress left an indelible legacy preserved by the tenacious American spirit. And Art with it. Another masterpiece Jordan. Jah!

    This was fabulous about Nitt Witt bridge. What a wonderful story about someone who lived his life on his own terms. Love Jah and you Jordan. I am disabled and my I Pad is my life. I am so glad I found you. I have enjoyed seeing so many places. God bless you always, Fairie

    This is really a sign of intelligence. I am very much impressed. I actually could see my grandson, he's 13, doing something like this. He is a very intelligent young man, but only in certain situations. Seriously, could you build all this and have it still standing after an earthquake. May he RIP.

  • @deniseconaway701
    @deniseconaway701 6 років тому +7

    Now this is recycling 😂, toilet seats for frames ingenious 😂, Art totally didn't believe in wasting anything! we could all learn something from that, when you look at how wasteful we are now! the guy who gave you the tour was pretty interesting to, Thankyou Jordan great vlog! xxx

    This lovely character nitty reminds me of my grandpa. Always tinkering and building stuff out of nothing. Inventing the most breathtaking art or display. And then at old age trying to stick around. I am glad California made it an official Landmark and it’s Charme is still visible. Now his spirit went home there forever by the big red tree. 🙏🏼👼🏼

    I used to live just down the road from Art back in 1960-62.
    What a character! Just loved that man.
    I helped him on some things in his garden back then, since he was "getting worn out" as he used to say.
    His favorite saying was "As worthless as tits on a boar hog" and in his eyes pretty much everyone and everything met that description.
    Used to sit and listen to him talk about the Merchant Marine and some of his adventures in his life.
    He even was in Vaudeville for a time!!
    A very interesting man to say the least.

    You can look at this place and see Art's imagination, he made it a reality and now we get to see a small glimpse of it . Can you use your imagination and just picture what this place looked like in its hay-day? Art was ahead of the times, he made his own dream home!! Thank You, Jordan, for showing us this place, Love your vlogs (: And may Art Rest easy in and around his old tree and property

  • @rickdrais9737

  • @tommartin9612
    @tommartin9612 5 років тому +3

    Having grown up in Cambria in the 60s and 70s we knew old Art quite well, My dad had a garage in Cambria, he would save up all the discarded auto parts Brake drums brake shoes things like that and give them to him, One day art was telling us about a time when he looked out to the ocean from his house and the ocean was gone??? he was quite adamant about it,, Over the years I think about what he had said, The only thing it could be was a receding tsunami??? / tidal wave, possibly from the Alaskan earthquake of 1964 a 9.2 You could always tell when Art was joking or serious, he was serious this time I’m certain .. I guess we will never know..

      If you're still near Cambria, may I suggest visiting Linns Restaurant on Main St and trying a slice of their olallieberry pie? They sell many different pies, but this one puts them on the map! I have no association with them. Just a HUGE fan of that pie!

    Wow! This place really reminds me of Palace Depression in Vineland, NJ. That place was mentioned in the movie Eddie and the Cruisers, but it had apparently been razed in 1969, way before that movie was filmed ('82-'83), so I'm wondering if there's a chance this place was filmed at all for that movie... Great stuff! :)))
