Super video!! Nik I want to congratulate you for this great video, nobody had ever done something like this in Big Bear and you have achieved it esteemed Nick, you explained every detail and showed us the large number of restaurants to visit and shops to buy, Felicidades Amigo Gran Trabajo!
Thank you so much Santino what a beautiful thing to say to me. I can’t believe I’m actually doing a good enough job for you guys to make comments like this. It means a lot to me what you said it made my day so happy and I’m just very grateful that you’re in my life and thank you for that beautiful comment. I really wish you the best always and I promise you I will never let you guys down I will do the best I can always. Once again, what a beautiful thing to say to me. Thank you.
Nice video, Nikk. One place that deserves a spotlight is Bear Cupboards Market at 40850 Village Drive. Go left at the top of Pine Knot , like when you head to the shortcut on Pennsylvania. Kind of a new market there, nice foods.
Wow, that’s one of the nicest compliment I think I could ever receive. I’m literally pinching myself right now. I can’t believe that I have impacted you this much when it comes to what I do. Thank you so much you amongst others. Here are such a loving people, and I never ever saw this coming. Just please understand. I am so grateful for you, and I will always do my very best for you and I love your username weather Heaven. Thank you so so so much. What a absolutely beautiful comment.
Thank you Wellesley my good friend I really appreciate that and it’s always so good to hear from you. I am so honored that you like to watch these videos and share this experience with me when a lot closer to you you have Tahoe and Mammoth so thank you so much I really do. Hope you’re having an amazing night. My night is always a lot better when I get to hear from you Wellesley. Please, please never forget how grateful I am for you and I just hope you have the most kick ass rest of your evening my friend
Paul bro. Great to hear you, my English friend one of my best friends in the world literally in the world lol. Thanks for saying that it felt good to get out like that and I’m really sore today just from walking. I can’t believe it that’s just as a reflection on how out of shape I truly am so thank you again for your kind words, my friend. It’s always really awesome to hear from you and I will chat with you soon my bro.
Hi Meg. Great to hear from you again. I don’t even recognize or fro when as a kid I’d come up to ski and stay at our vacation house in Arrowhead. To be honest I loved it tenfold more back then but maybe that’s because I was a tourist. Same as Hawaii. I had visitors about 5 times before I moved there at 19 years old on my own. Being a local was way way different. Thanks Meg for being here my good new friend. I’m honored to have you in my life. Please stick around Meg with me and my wife and ride the youtube wave with us. You rock
I am so glad you and the family had a great time. Just do me a favor when you come up next time try to come up during the week so you can get the best prices on a cabin. It’ll be best it’ll be significantly less during the week, Sunday night through Thursday night are the best times and in the meantime, I just hope you’re having a great day and once again, I’m so glad you guys had a beautiful time up here.
Hey Bro, if this is your first go around at a Village walk through, I'm gonna say, Great Job. I now have the need to go over and check out all the little hidden gems, I just don't pay any attention when I walk round there. again keep up the great video work, I enjoy watching your Channel. I just went back and watched one of your 2019 videos, the one with all the crazy rain and rivers flowing through the streets.
Brother Joe. Wow my friend thank you so much. I really can’t believe that you guys are in my life and especially people like you who are so kind and so loving my friend. I’m really glad that I got you to want to come back up and actually check out some of these little shops in the village that makes me really happy because these business owners deserve it for sure they work really really hard to try to provide the best experience for you guys possible so thank you Joe very much. You are unbelievably awesome and I’m so grateful that you’re in my life my brother thank you thank you thank you.
I've been in that Art Gallery with the local artists that Jennifer owns, there's no words for the photos and paintings in there and she's such a lovely friendly person.
@@joeprescott7846 Joe bro. I agree, my friend. I had such a comfortable time in that shop when she first walked out it seemed like she was really upset with me and I can understand how there are people out there who will take really good photos of other photos and try to pass them off as their own so I can understand what she’s trying to say to me but I was really grateful she let me go in there and try to spread the word of all the local beautiful Artisans. Thank you again Joe for being my friend buddy I appreciate it and I’m really really stoked that you’ve actually been in there I’ve never been in there until yesterday.
At Jack in the box, our staff takes great pride and works hard in preparing a high-quality, yet affordable food product. Our primary goal is guest satisfaction. We can only defend against derogatory characterizations by suggesting that you, the potential long-term customer, judge for yourself.
Well, as I said, you guys have a very amazing staff of very amazing staff there and Enrique is one of the greatest man I’ve ever known he’s actually done some paint work for me and he’s just a tremendous guy but a couple times I got sick after eating at the Jack-in-the-Box in big bear and I can only share my honest experience but I could never ever say anything negative about the employees. The employees have been very special and wonderful people and as I said, Enrique and his brother are good friends of mine I love that man with all my heart and he’s been there with you guys for a long, long time But I hope you wouldn’t be upset about me, sharing my honest experience, because this is what happened to me, and I’m not the only one I’ve heard some things from other people as well, but I only speak for myself But by no means, is that a reflection of who works there? I just think when I ordered some stuff it was bad I’m sure you guys probably still have some of the emails of one. I emailed you a few years back from when this happened and the management was very apologetic even offered me free food, but I was too scared to eat anything else there. I want everybody in this town to succeed, but my job here is to be honest and if it hurts people, if my honesty is hurting people, I really feel sorry about that and I really don’t ever want to impact anybody else in a negative way, but I have to be honest about my experience because people rely on me to give them the proper information. Maybe I need to put a statement up that says these are my opinions and it’s just what I think and make up your own minds, but please understand I would never disparage anybody who works there my goodness no way I’ve had a couple friends who used to work there as well, but Enrique is an absolute hero, and a hard-working, amazing dude and I used to only go in there when he was working I think it was Monday and Tuesdays in the evening time and then I would sit and talk with him at the window for quite a few minutes because I would only go in late night typically So I really hope you’re not upset with me and I hope you can forgive me because I really have a lot of love for the people who work in this town. Do you know one time being sick as a dog OK I can let it go and I continued eating there and about a year after the first time I got a breakfast burrito and it was really runny really really wet. It was dripping almost water out from it and within an hour and a half I was sicker than a dog for the rest of the day coming out from every area of my body. So please understand all I’m trying to do is help this town, but I have to help the people who come up here as well by being honest with my experiences just like with my hotel videos I’m honest with everybody about how I feel personally about the hotels and it’s up to them to make up their own mind whether they want to stay there. So Connor please forgive me, my friend I feel really really really bad but that was my experience and I don’t know what else to say about it I hope you get back to me bro and you know what I think ever since I have eaten there before the management has changed The ownership has changed. So it’s probably better now and I’m willing to try it out again. And just so you know, your Jack in the box in big Bear was my favorite place to visit to eat dinner if you look at a lot of comments from one of my friends on this channel called Albert E. We always joke together about going to Jack in the box because I used to do videos going through the Jack-in-the-Box line. I love Jack in the box and it really upsets me that I’ve had such bad experiences at this particular Jack in the box that I can’t get my sourdough Jack anymore or my spicy chicken sandwich anymore because those are two of my favorite burgers in the whole entire world. So I’ll tell you what because you were very nice about this and you understand that I’m just being honest with my own experience I’m not trying to hurt anybody I would be happy to try and start eating there again and show the people on the channel that it’s back to regular standards . Funny enough my older sister used to work for Jack-in-the-Box corporate if you remember what happened years and years ago were a couple people actually died. That’s the time that my sister was working for Jack-in-the-Box corporate before Jack-in-the-Box changed all their advertising and marketing. Jack-in-the-Box is one of my all-time favorites. It starts with In-N-Out Burger, Del taco, and then Jack in the box. So I’m willing to give it another shot and really speak highly in the future. I just really feel bad but I can’t be dishonest about my experiences and I have a feeling because you seem like such a good person that the place is totally different and I’m definitely willing to try it out again if you’re OK with me coming in and eating some food.
Derek I hope you had a blast man. It sounds like you had a safe trip also so that makes me happy. I’m really glad you had a good time. It looks like in about 10 days there’s a chance for another storm to come through.
@@kimberlyxo2358 I hope he gets back to you, but I’ll tell you what I know for sure that the roads are in great condition all of them coming up to big bear. The only thing I would suggest is when you drive up here try to get up the mountain after the temperatures go above freezing just to make it as safe as possible for you. I don’t want anything to happen to you guys. You guys are very special to my heart.
Clyde your the best. I appreciate the encouragement, my bro, Thank you for checking out some of these older videos. It’s amazing to me how long I’ve been doing this I really enjoy it.
Thank you so much for this video. We are going to travel there for the first time on the next couple of days and I was. So nervous until your video from last year came up, and now I've got a sense of what to expect.
Nice my friend I’m glad to hear that that’s really cool that you like that store Kuul store kind of eh!! on the ownership though. If it’s the place, I’m thinking, I really appreciate you sharing that with me because you guys are helping a lot of other people to find good places to go shop. Obviously that place is ridiculously expensive but that’s what happens in a tourist town is everything is very expensive. I wish they would actually take care of the tourist more because without you guys, none of us live here.
Wow CA. That is really nice of you to wish me a happy 10 years. Thank you so much and thank you so much for your beautiful comment. It makes me so happy to do his videos for people like you it’s people like you can make this channel everything it is today. I am so grateful for you. I really hope you stick around here for a long time with us and take this UA-cam journey until the wheels fall off with me and my wife and the rest of us. Have a terrific night my good buddy CA.
Nick, you did a wonderful job with this village walk 🚶♂️ 👏 ❤️. Thank you, Jennifer, for allowing us into your beautiful shop and to John as well. It's been years since I've traveled to your little piece of heaven. I can't afford to visit, as you are correct Nick, its just too expensive to stay overnight, and I really enjoy the area's lake area, fishing and, of course, the eagles🦅🦅🦅. Shadow, & Spirit wherever you are. Nick, you took me along with you, on your excursion during these last snow storms, I deeply want to thank you for taking the time, and expense Sir, while I was safely home & warm.
Opps, I forgot to write in "Jackie's" name in my previous comment. Regarding your beautiful bonded eagle pair up there. Nick, Congratulations on your sobriety of 10 glorious years. That's a wonderful mile stone, 👏👏👏and you in my prayers 🙏. I was deeply touched by your honesty in this walk about town with your personal experiences, with the shops. I was busy typing these comments and was still doing so when it had come to the end... Then I heard you say how much-loved and needed we are to you. Sweet man, you are an asset to this community and an inspiration for us all! We all struggle to find our place in this life... you have my subscription, and gratitude for what you do for us, who can't make it out, to see all the beauty in your area. But I will now try to visit this spring (with my binoculars), Sir, because of your dedication! Thank you again 💓 and thank you to those wonderful people who help keep us up on our National Symbol 🦅 up there in Big Bear @ FOBBV CAM. Nick... I had not seen your site until the storms hit... and your channel popped up. I'm very glad you did... and perhaps you have already covered your local resident eagles. I will look through your work. But if not, perhaps you could visit with or do a post on their work ? Just a thought. Between the both of you... I've a renewed interest and love for Big Bear. That town truly... owes you both, a HUGE, THANK YOU!!! From my neck of the woods, in the High Desert 🏜 Apple Valley... Thanks, and great job 🫶💕
Pizza face I think it was you telling me about the N. Pole Fudge Pl. and so I wanted to make sure I got that on film for you and did you notice that two people from Mexico ran out of the store to say aren’t you the Big Bear guy? How cool is that? That was so freaking awesome it almost makes me wanna cry because I can’t believe the recognition I get just for being my dorky self.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 yes that was me suggesting the north pole candy shop, thanks for filming it and showing others, what a trip running into people who know who you are ur a celebrity now 😀
Leather Depot has very nice products. We go to Copper Q for desserts and Hot Chocolate. Always busy. I’ve been to the theatre. Have good prices on Tuesday. Nice Art store. Thanks for walk through Nikk.
Craig, I can’t believe you bro you’re always watching the videos all the way through. It makes me so happy that someone as wise and bright as you as busy as you are that you still have time to enjoy what I do and you really do watch these videos. It blows my mind thank you for being so kind and being one of my best friend in the whole wide world.
Thanks for your walking tour effort, i loveet.Its a good exercise for you🤭👌 i love the ART GALLERY, shout out the owner, JENNIFER… the SOCIAL KITCHEN😋THE BONE YARD😋, the NORTH POLE ice cream😍😋, i keep goin’ Big Bear but i never visit the PAISLEY BOUTIQUE😟 and TOY GALLERY, will do next road trip 🚘 nice to see that gorgeous couple from Mexico City and of course, THE VILLAGE ❤️💚❤️ THANK YOU NICK👏👏👏
Wow Keyrol. What an incredible comment my friend thank you so much and I am so glad you’re gonna check out some of these other stores when you come up here I really never understood or imagined that I would have this type of an impact and it makes me really happy because I am a very selfless person and I am so happy that I’m able to touch other peoples lives and help other people that’s what gets me out of bed every day with my regular job. That’s what I do as well so I’m very very very happy and so happy that you’re in my life you’ve been here for a minute now and I’m super super grateful for you. Thank you for sharing your love and experience with me I’m so so thankful for you.
Hahahahahaha dbeach rock in the pajama pants lol a couple people notice that I was wearing actual pants in the video in cold weather and you guys were very proud of me lol I really appreciate your support. I love the comment. I’ve been to nine rehabs and two sober living houses over 25 years to be able to not have one sip of alcohol for 10 years and the crazy thing is I used to go to one AA meeting every day and sometimes I would do 180 meetings in 90 days numerous times a.m. p.m. And this is the first time I haven’t been to one AA meeting the whole 10 years it’s not quite 10 years on June 23. It’ll be 10 years I can’t believe it I was with the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous referred to as the hopeless variety so thank you for your love and support my friend.
Loved your village walk, especially the Artisans Etc. Gallery. Your videos are so clear and colorful. I keep sharing them with others and encourage them to check out more of your work. The scenic drives around the dam thru Fawnskin are beautiful. You and Rachel are great. Thank you so much!
Thank you for saying that about my wife and myself. Betty you truly are someone very special to the channel for love and respect you show us really is paramount to me doing this at such a high-level I know I don’t do much editing or anything like that, but I have a real passion for what I do for you guys because of comments like this, so thank you so much and I can’t wait to go check out that shop you told me about and I will tell ED you sent me.
Hey Melly. My good friend you’re corgi must be the happiest corgi ever. And yes, the store looked amazing. I couldn’t believe that they have a whole store to set aside for those cute little doggies. I hope you guys come visit Big Bear again sooner than later, and grace this place with some amazing people’s presence which is you guys
Oh I remember the big bear shop. Awesome used to shop there. Oh my goodness so many new places. I loved the village. Village mall so fun. Ioved the tour. Thank nikk
Well Linda I absolutely love the comment you are such a kind person. I am so grateful for you. Thank you for making me feel like I’m worthy and making me feel just so good about myself for the following my passion I really really care a lot about you guys, so thank you so much and my wife says thank you as well. Rachel loves you guys so much.
I’ve tried to educate myself on the history of this town and even really local history like just before I moved here and it’s really difficult to learn a lot about big bear for me. At least I’ve been trying to find out information kind of similar things to what you’re looking for what happened to the arcade what happened to the Bungie thing in front of Bear Mountain when I used to come up as a little kid all these things had so much nostalgia for me. I hope you’re having a good one Nathan. It’s great to hear from you my brother.
Viviana yes I do speak fluently. I sometimes get my verbs mixed up and present tense and past tense of mixed up but I love speaking Spanish. I’ve been speaking since I was a little boy I can speak French as well. I used to speak French fluently, but now I just remember bits and pieces from school. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for being a very instrumental part of this channel. It’s comments like yours that makes me feel so good and give me the inspiration and want to do so much more. Thank you. Pura Vida
Thanks much friend for your walkabout in Big bear. Looks like snow is melting. I think you may be getting more. Up north California is getting some rain this weekend. 😊
Hey there Deb. That’s amazing that they’re getting rain now up north unfortunately we’re not getting any more snow until maybe the 13th of the month but it’s still so far out yesterday at showed 2 1/2 straight days of snow at that time of the month and today it showed one day of snow around that time so please keep your fingers crossed for us and thank you so much for always being here and always being so kind.
@@deborahhall3488 this is where you’re going to freak out we do not have a fireplace at my house. I’m one of the few houses in all of big bear that literally doesn’t have a fireplace so we spend a lot of money on the wall heater every month lol if I had a fireplace, life would be so much different because that’s mountain living for sure.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 do you have room for a portable one? They are great. Its the size of a table and fits anywhere. They sell them on HSN, Amazon.
@@deborahhall3488 do you know what I do not have one but the fireplace is probably bigger than my house. To be honest I live in a shoebox, but I’ve seen the Amish made fireplaces. Those look awesome
Oh and village pizz yum 😋 yum. Thank you for your 10 years. Best choice for you. I am 30years. Would have never made it to 80 had I not stopped. Oh and North woods Inn. Used to be called)big place where we always stayed. Right at end of village.
Wow Linda, you’re 80 years old my friend with 30 years sober? Congratulations it means even that much more to me that someone who is sober from their drug of choice. Recognize me for almost 10 years what a blessing and you’ve been a blessing on this channel thank you for being so kind to me. You can always ask me any questions you want. I’m always here for you guys OK
MK it’s good to hear from you my good buddy. How the heck are you? How’s life treating you out there in Texas? That was a really great art shop, and I was really really proud that they only take artwork from locals and the work was absolutely beautiful inside that shop and to see someone they’re painting live was pretty cool I hope you and the family are doing wonderful. It’s really great to hear from you. It always is my friend.
@mike kiralla mike my brother you’re gonna be totally fine when it comes to your travels. I guarantee you it’ll be an easy drive I believe however, it is going to be Friday so just be very cautious. I don’t want you to get stuck in a ton of traffic just please get up here safe and sound and when you make it here if you remember, send me a message to let me know you made it safely. OK bro I hope you have an incredible time and have a great rest of your night, bro.
Hey my good friend llyran. Let me ask you a question do you know if they make that for my iPhone because that’s what I record with a record with an iPhone and sometimes I use my GoPro but I haven’t used it in a couple years. What a beautiful suggestion. Thank you so much because I want to go out of my way and do everything I can to make these as best as I can for each and every single one of you I really love the compliment thank you for the support, and if you know anything about an iPhone, and that glare protection let me know please I cherish you very much for caring so much
No way Bobby. My brother from another mother I want you to know how thankful and grateful I am that you subscribed to the channel. You guys truly are so instrumental in my emotional well-being these days because I suffer from severe depression and ever since I’ve had you guys in my life and my wife things have changed dramatically, but I’m still suffering every now and again thank you so much for the support and I really hope I never let you down. I promise you Bobby I will always do the best I can and I hope you have a safe trip from Los Angeles my friend. Check it out bro in my only playlist it’s only the lodging. I only have one playlist check out my stay at the lodge at big bear. It’s the holiday inn resort. I stayed in the biggest room they have to offer. You should check it out and let me know what you think. Please do me a favor when you make it here safely. Please let me know by sending me a message so I don’t have to worry about you getting up here safely.
Congratulations on 10 years sober,I think the superstore next to Jack in the box was the arcade, I also remember a movie theater right in that area! Also Village music owner was a way cool guy who had pictures from Eddie Van Halen’s wedding!
Wow state of Jefferson. Holy crap dude it’s great to hear from you. It’s been a minute. I am so happy to hear from you. Seen your name pop up like that really made my night. You really do have some good knowledge of this town my friend it’s clear you spent some time here lol and yes, I think you are correct. I think that was the old arcade if you’re looking at Jack in the box from the front of the building just to the right. Once again, it’s wonderful to hear from you state of Jefferson. I am so unbelievably grateful to have you here. Hey, check it out you have until February 5 to go to the video I just did a few days ago of the Big Bear Coffe Roasting Company click thumbs up and leave a comment and you’ll be in the running for one of two $50 visa or MasterCard gift cards. I would be so stoked to send that to you so please do me and yourself a favor and go over to that video as soon as you read this message quick like and just leave a short comment to be in the running.
Great video. You did perfect. Thank you! Big Bear Grizzly local paper was mentioning little support from local residents on Replenish Big Bear Lake Project. Only 4 people spoke at meeting and when opened up for letters on public opinion they got 3 letters of support from local residents. Am I missing something? Why aren't local residents participating in trying to get this going? Lake is drying up. Is there some inside story not getting reported that locals know about and not us flatlanders? Is there something local residents are against with this project going forward? 🤔 Kmart finally sold so good news there! 👍
That’s a great question Julie I have no idea. I never even heard about these local talks going on, so maybe that’s the problem is the word isn’t getting out because I’m a resident who would definitely be there to support the whole project, and there is just like most towns, a lot of stuff hidden in the underbelly of this town. It is a tourist town, so not a lot gets out for instance, a couple days ago, the police had to defend themselves and shot and killed a woman And there’s other stuff that happens up here so there’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t really get out on the front page of the newspapers when it comes to big bear and I’m just wondering what this is all about I’m really glad you mentioned this to me because I need to find a way to be able to go put in my two cents. I don’t think I’m special or deserve any more time than anybody anybody else But I would really love to be able to at least put in my two cents and explain why I feel having the lake full would impact our town significantly when it comes to tourism it would be much more beautiful. Also, I just didn’t even hear about these talks going on, but that could be my fault. I don’t focus on the local government in big Bear. I just stick to myself, but I thought because of what I do, I would at least hear about things happening.
Thanks for the video. I definitely going to take my friend to the noodle spot she loves noodles. Also we always go to Murray’s bar for a few drinks and great food.
My friend thunder. Oh yeah, Murrays has amazing food. I was so shocked that a little bar like that would actually have terrific food. I hope you’re having a wonderful day thunder it’s always good to hear from you
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 that place surprised us also with there food. My friend and I always stop there to have food and drinks every time we’re up there. I tell everyone that goes to big bear to stop at Murray’s for the food.
@@thunderbeast2126 i’m telling you thunder I couldn’t believe the food at Murrays when I first moved up here and because I don’t like going to bars because I don’t drink and I don’t like being around drunk people because I hated myself when I was drunk I was convinced to go in there with my old boss. His name is Ben Harper he’s the guitar player for that band Yellowcard he’s the one who started the band. I was a delivery driver for his 420 business and I went in there and he bought me dinner one night and I couldn’t believe how great the food was but I’ll tell you what I never knew about that noodle store in the village so I’m gonna tell my wife all about it. I’m sure she’s already been there but maybe not it’s good to hear from you. Thunder beast.
@@thunderbeast2126 thunder versus thank you for saying that I can’t believe you’re so enthused with my channel or our channel. I should say it makes me so happy I want to do such good things for you guys.
Love you Peter bro. I’m telling you my friend if this channel ever grows enough to where I can go take a vacation every once in a while, I’m gonna take my wife to the Netherlands to come visit. Last time I was there I told you I want to Amsterdam and went to Rotterdam and then we went to a miniature town called MaduroDamn. I know I missed spelled that I have so many pictures of being with my father there.

Jolene I saw so many stores I never knew existed. It was amazing. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully someone sees this comment and shops there because of you.
Hey Nikk, congrats on a decade sober! 🎉 Love this little walk. Some of our favorites are Social, and Scenic Souvenirs (formerly Big Bear Discount), and our favorite is the Gelato & Teahouse! We always ask for Georgie to make some of his special hot cocoas! Seriously, don’t sleep on the gelato house! 😋 anyways, love the channel and what you do, man. Take care!
Thank you Rece. I really am grateful for your support. You have been so wonderful and someone who makes me feel so good about what I’m doing so I really thank you so much for being there for me and thank you for telling me a little bit about your experiences up in the village like that funny enough my next-door neighbor is George from that gelato shop. I’ve been there once I need to go there more often because of you so thank you for the suggestion.
That’s so awesome! Let George know he is one of the best parts of Big Bear and one of the reasons we love coming back in every season. It’s people like you and George that really make Big Bear special. Hope he’s doing well! Have a good one!
@@recemora7439 well, thank you for saying that the next time I see him I will definitely tell him that you said that Rece. It would be my honor to do that because I’m very privileged to have you in my life.
See, I’m remembering that and my friend who has a friend now his name is Robert, a.k.a. Bobby. He works at Triangle market and the liquor store in the village right across from Robinhood Resort. When I was younger he used to be the manager at the arcade and when I first moved up here, his voice, he can’t mistaken for anybody he’s got a voice for radio for sure and I asked him didn’t used to work at one of these like the bowling alley or something? And he told me the arcade and I knew exactly right away.
Hey Rudy. You got that right bro seriously that’s funny you say that because I had no clue what the heck was coming It’s good to hear from you bro. I hope you’re doing great as always, and it’s always a blessing to get to hear from you Rudy.
The town looks so beautiful. Might want to drive up one weekend coming up, but don't want to deal with snow and chains and crap. Are the roads pretty clear right now? Looked like it.
My boi Bobby. So I think you’re gonna be good if you come up this weekend especially one thing that is sometimes an issue quite a bit of time after the snow is off the main roads as some of the side streets that don’t see a lot of direct sunlight could still have some rough spots but I think for the most part you’re gonna be totally good. We hit 55° today and tomorrow we could hit close to 60 I can’t believe it, it’s probably gonna be 55 again tomorrow but for the weekend I think you’re gonna have a great time Bobby I think you’ll get here safe and sound few are concerned makes me a little bit concerned so send me a message when you make it up here safely OK brother
Oakside Restaurant has great fish & chips (sweet potato fries)! Amangela's has yummy broccoli-cheese soup. I love sitting out front with my dog watching all the people. Leather Depot and upstairs shops are always fun. Super nice people and Big Bear is very dog-friendly. You have to see SantaLand/Hollywood Studios. Photos encouraged! Tell Ed that Betty sent you!
Wow Betty. Thank you so much for that suggestion I want to take my wife there. I never knew that place existed and you watch these videos before I’m driving through the village all the time. How in the heck did I miss that? And I definitely when I go in there and Tell Ed that Betty the best sent me. Your so awesome Betty. I am so grateful for your support and your great suggestion for the wife and myself.
Well helllooo! You did a great job Nikk! I thoroughly enjoyed this video. The store with the stairs is my favorite. I always buy something from there. Super cool that those people recognized you too!!Wow!! By the way, There is a guitar in the music shop signed by Alice In Chains! I was fascinated with that. Not a big rocker girl but that band was amazing. Thx again Nikk for a fun video. 😊
You are welcome and next time I’m gonna go into the shop and check it out. I was in the village music store when it was on Pineknot. It was much smaller that store they have right now is huge. Well thank you again for letting me know and that place upstairs with those 20 little shops is incredible.
The Teddy Bear was a good restaurant I don't know about now the building before Teddy Bear where you were looking at the homes for sale that used to be Lucy's Real State my folks bought both there homes in that office and some other properties They also sold those homes through that office The Cave used to be the Village Theater where I saw for the first time movies that are now classics Like Star Wars and Close Encounters ect.... the Sugar Bear Arcade well that's all we had for video games We didn't Play Station and XBox
Bro, thank you so much for sharing all that with me you really do give me a really good in-depth look of this town way back before my time ever being here. I came here in 2015 before that I didn’t know a damn thing about the town I knew a little bit about Lake arrowhead because that’s my favorite place in this mountain range but I knew I wouldn’t really have much opportunity to find a steady job in Lake arrowhead so that’s why I chose to move the big bear and also when I did my research show that it snows more in big bear I’ll tell you what if I had the option to move to Lake arrowhead? That would be awesome but if the channel was Lake arrowhead weather and more, I really don’t think there would be a lot of people watching lol. I hope you’re doing great today. The reason I wanted to go eat at the teddy bear restaurant was because you told me what your son’s favorite meal was at that restaurant and I was so honored to do that but I don’t think I actually got the burger I think it was breakfast that I ordered . Anyway, thanks again Lee for sharing my friend
Johnny boy. Always great to hear from you. I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed so I’m trying to figure out what you meant by that they get back to me and let me know because I’m always interested in what you have to say.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Nikk just poking fun at the amount of cracks in asphalt in the main street..it's cracking up and cracking me up lol. Thanks for sharing though it is great information for people visiting Big Bear. I hope to be one of them one day before I push up daisies...
@@jkgmh6669 haha you’re not gonna be pushing up daisies anytime soon bro, so don’t talk like that you’ve become one of my good friends right away I really hope you get a chance to come out here and if this channel keeps growing in the next couple years, I’ll be able to afford to fly people out here for certain winning drawings and stuff like that I really want to give back as much as I can to you guys and I would love to have you come all the way from Australia bro And you know what the roads are so bad up here it cracks me up as well but it really pisses me off. Also, the potholes are insane but I’ve actually noticed a lot of the potholes in the past week. I’ve been fixed but I guarantee you it’s gonna come right back the next snow we have. John, you are so awesome bro I am so honored to have you in my life brother and once again you’re not gonna be pushing any days is anytime soon ever we’re gonna live forever brother
Wow looks beautiful! We are visiting this sunday can you suggest some places were can enjoy some snow activities? Looks like most of the snow is already melting so kind of curious!
Hi there Laxmi. So there’s a couple spots that I think you would enjoy. It does cost a couple bucks to do it but they make fresh snow at both of these locations so I think it’ll be perfect for the family and especially the children. One of them is called the Alpine slide at Magic Mountain and the second location is called big bear snow play These are very easy to find. Both of them are on Big Bear Blvd. and if you go onto Google and type in the names of what I just gave you, it will give you all the information you need. I am so excited for you guys to come up and have some fun and also yes you are correct the snow is melting pretty rapidly and tomorrow we’re supposed to be in the 50s again but as I said in the evening times these places actually make fresh snow for everybody so if you get there early enough when they open, it’ll be perfect conditions for the children and I am just really excited for them to have a blast. I’m assuming for the kids I really hope this helps. If it wasn’t helpful enough please don’t hesitate to get back to me because my goal is to make sure all of you have the best time possible.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Wow thank you so much for such a quick response! It really helps 😊 will definitely visit these places! Btw its just me & my husband and we are as excited as any kid would be to see snow ❄️ as we are also from SoCal and never got chance to see snow! 😁 You are doing a great job and i do watch your videos regularly to enjoy some beautiful snowy clips! Keep up the great work!
@@laxmiiyer9454 well, thank you to you and your husband very much for being fans of the channel. I grew up in Newport Beach and the best time of my life was as a kid coming up to my mom and dad’s house in Lake arrowhead and being in the snow that’s what I would look forward to all year and when we would leave, I would cry and I would look forward to the next time we were coming back up such a great time and I’m really glad that I can show you guys the beautiful town while you’re not here I really hope you and your husband get a chance to come up here again soon and thanks again for being so supportive and don’t forget if it really really makes you happy this channel. Don’t forget to hit the like button because believe it or not supposedly it really helps me. I just don’t know how lol
@@laxmiiyer9454 I just hope you guys have an amazing time. If you’re concerned about getting up here please send me a message when you guys make it safe and sound so I know you guys are OK.
I sure wished it wasn't going through what it is right now. With the fires and them taking away the insurance from people and stuff like that I would love to live in a place like this, but now it's pretty scary and probably pretty impossible to be able to do.
Hey there, home is. First of all, let me apologize for not seeing your comment until just now. I feel horrible about that. And I agree with you it’s such a bummer that they’re doing everything possible to make life harder for everybody, but that’s basically California in a nutshell I expect nothing less. I’m expecting things to get worse and worse and harder and harder in California. When I moved up here 10 years ago, things were so much different and literally it was only a decade ago but yes, you’re right on the money. It is not easy now it never was but it was a lot easier back then. And I wish for everybody to be able to have a chance to live in a peaceful place like this to get away from the rat race and the concrete jungle and be able to actually live a decent life If you’re seriously, considering it, don’t hesitate to reach out to me, and I would be willing to do everything in my power to help your transition and give you suggestions and answer any questions you might have Take care of yourself my friend and again I’m so sorry I didn’t see your comment. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and if you do respond, please make sure you leave me a new comment because I will not get notified to your response to my response, it’s really weird how that works.
Thanks Bobby. Being Sunday it shouldn’t be that difficult to park in the village and if you can’t park on the main road, they have a couple big parking lot on the side of the village. You shouldn’t have any problem, bro and thank you for the compliment.
Hahaha. Gabriel you’re so funny bro I hope you’re doing well. I hope Nora and the kids are doing well. It’s always a blessing to hear from you. Thank you for all the information you’re sending me about how much rain we’ve been receiving and how much snow and pretty much the statistics that I’m desperate for. Thank you so much. When do I get to see you again my brother and when do I get to introduce you to my beautiful bride?
TANGO bro thank you so much for saying that coming from you that means a lot to me and I know you’re being totally honest with me so the fact that you’re enjoying these new type of videos that I’m doing makes me so happy bro oh my gosh I am so grateful and just like the snow videos I’m enjoying doing this it comes straight from my heart so thank you for sharing this experience with me my big brother
Tony the good news is my friend. I’ve heard really good things that the ski conditions are great because they’re making snow at night. It’s been pretty cold, so if you get up early enough and hit the runs early, it’s gonna feel like it just snowed. Please get up here safe and sound and I hope you have a kick ass time Tony
@@tonygee19641 Tony thank you so much bro what a beautiful thing to say to me you absolutely made my night by saying that you obviously see how much I care about you guys and how hard I work for you guys. Keep in mind this UA-cam channel doesn’t make me hardly any money and eight months out of the year I don’t make anything from the channel I have a full-time other job where I work 60 hours per week and so for you to say something like that keeps me inspired to want to continue kicking ass for you guys and showing off this beautiful little town Tony, I would be honored if when you come up to big Bear you hit me up if I have a minute I would love to shake your hand
So we have very many hotels up here and some of them have 10 cabins. Some of them have 50 cabins. It all depends on where you want to stay. I have a feeling I didn’t answer your question properly, so please get back to me and give me a little more specific of a question so I can help you the best I can make a friend.
My brother Eddie, so check it out. All the shops along the boulevard are typically pretty expensive and you would expect the mountain to be just as expensive if not more because of the convenience but I always rent when I rent at the mountain just to kill a few birds with one stone and that’s what I suggest you and your children do when you come up Eddie I’m really excited for you guys to come hit the slopes and share the big bear experience with the rest of us Thanks again for being so awesome thank you for asking me that question. I hope that’s an answer you wanted to hear I’m just giving you my best opinion on what I would do. If I knew somebody at one of these shops or one of the owners, I would ask them if you guys go to rent your stuff there would they give you a discount that’s something I’m gonna try to work out with some of the shops of here if they mentioned that their friends of the channel to hook you guys up
This is such a nice walk! You should have some of these companies sponsor you a paid sponsorship you two look into it Thank you for this walk I’m glad your starting to do this ❤
Well thank you Vivian we really appreciate you as well. I hope the husband and the children are doing great and your support over the years has been so incredible thank you and I’m really glad you enjoyed the walking video. It would be nice to get some sort of a sponsorship from some of these companies I just have to figure out how to work that because if one business sponsors me, they’re probably gonna find it to be a conflict of interest if I’m interviewing other stores similar to them and I want everyone in this channel to see everything we have to offer. I’ll tell you what those sponsorship would be great. Who knows what’s gonna happen with this channel? I’m just keeping an open mind and whatever it takes us it takes us.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 do different foods and shops it want be a conflict look on UA-cam they have people to show you how it's very amazing like you and your wife
@@vivianpadilla7025 I agree completely what I was trying to say is for instance, let’s say the noodle shop sponsors me, and does things for me maybe financially if I interview other restaurants and get people to go to those restaurants, they might not be happy about that that’s all I was saying, and they might take away my sponsorship That’s why I was trying to be very careful about how I do this because I want to show everything in the town?
@@vivianpadilla7025 I will for sure. I want to expose all the greatness in this area. And exposing all the greatness in big bear it’s gonna be awesome to share with each and every single one of you so thank you very much for the support.
Hola Herberth my friend. muchas gracias lo creas o no en realidad hablo un poco de español. De hecho, hablo con fluidez, pero no puedo escribir tanto o tan bien, así que estoy usando mi traductor para enviarle este mensaje. Por favor, desde el fondo de mi corazón, muchas gracias por sus amables palabras, y estoy muy agradecida de tenerte aquí en este canal y en mi vida, realmente espero que nunca te vayas a ningún lado, y que continúes viendo este canal con nosotros y veas a dónde nos lleva este canal de UA-cam a todos juntos. Una vez más, muchas gracias por su apoyo y espero que tengan una noche increíble.
The Mexican grill is the best. Love Peppercorns when someone Special is coming to town. Copper Q is the coolest place downtown. Noodle bar, that must be new? Lobster place gone, They usually survive best in five star shopping centres.
Exactly about the lobster place. I was really sad to see it go the owner and I became pretty good friends and I could’ve done a video for him. It wouldn’t have helped I’m sure but thank you for your comment. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience of some of those restaurants, and when it comes to PEPPERCORN, I’m just like you when my mom would come into town. That’s the only time I would go eat there to take people from out of town.
My brother Manny PEPPERCORN GRILLE is very expensive for that type of restaurant in big bear. My choice is Captains Anchorage. I will definitely eat at PEPPERCORN and be happy to eat there. I really enjoy it but my choice is definitely Captains Anchorage for a high-end classy restaurant. I hope you’re having a good one Manny, my bro
Hey Gina at the very beginning of the video I mention what month and year and then in the title of the video it says so I’m pretty sure it was February 2, 2023 I really hope you enjoyed the video and thank you for your question. I appreciate that just so you know for future reference in just about every single video I make I put the date at the very end of the title, but sometimes because the titles use all the characters available. It doesn’t show you unless you actually click on the title for it to expand and you can see the whole title. Gina, I hope you’re having a beautiful day my friend. Thank you very much again for leaving your question and if there’s anything else don’t hesitate to ask it’s an honor to be able to help you guys whenever I can.
Hey, brand new to this channel but think it’s really rad! I’m currently deciding between 2-3 cabins for an upcoming trip, and was wondering if you do any short custom videos around town (for $ of course)?
Hey my brother Noah, I’m very honored to have you here bro. That is super cool of you to see what you said about the channel blows me away I’ll support of you guys are So if you’re asking me doing custom drives around town for money are you telling me that you want me to drive on video somewhere for you to show you what it looks like? And bro you’re my brother now you’re in my life I’m not gonna charge you to do that on the next video I do you just Gotta remind me because over the years I’ve smoked myself stupid and my memory is terrible, but I would never charge you to do a drive Ever. It would be a privilege to stoke you out like that. You just get back to me and tell me where you wanted me to go tomorrow I’m doing a Drive that is going to be called how much snow remains in big bear for the weekend or something like that So let me know what you wanted me to do for you, bro, and it would absolutely make me so happy to put a smile on your face like that my brother Noah. Once again, bro, I really appreciate you being here and saying that really nice comment. I love what I do for you guys and it’s people like you in the comments that I received that make me even more eager to do these videos all the time. Keep in mind I work about 60 hours per week with my other business that has nothing to do with UA-cam so you can imagine how much I work constantly. I appreciate your support brother Noah. Cheers Noah and let me know exactly what you meant about doing drives for $$$$. And welcome to the channel. I really hope I never let you down on this channel and I hope I can provide you really good information and beautiful scenery of Southern California’s. Best vacation spot. I hope you take this UA-cam journey with me until the wheels fall off Noah I am so stoked to have you here.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 bro you said jack in crack nick bro had shake taco yesterday Nick you know it was 25 cent taco day at jack in crack all day
@@albert.e I told you bro up here. I’ve had such bad experiences at that Jack-in-the-Box it’s giving me food poisoning twice but one of my favorite people in this whole town works there. I love him so much he is such a good guy I know they didn’t do it on purpose but things happen and I got food poisoning two times from Jack-in-the-Box. Sadly, I stay away the other night I came home and my wife had a bag of Jack-in-the-Box and it brought back some scary memories.
In a mountain town with 4 seasons I refer to it after Christmas as winter lights. Don’t want to offend anyone. People get really offended over nothing. I’m learning to respect even the ones who have nothing better to do than sit around and find something to be a victim and offended about 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@backyardzoo7624 hahahah Backyard Zoo. Hahaha you’re hilarious. So you know exactly where I was going with that comment correct? Thank you for having a sense of humor because I’m someone who will always say merry Christmas when it’s Christmas time and happy Hanukkah and happy Kwanzaa everything I never say happy holidays but that’s just me. I’m not that religious of a person and technically I’m actually Jewish I learned from 23 and me DNA and 48% Ashkenazy Jew. Lololol but I’ve always celebrated Christmas and I won’t let anybody take away my Christmas spirit I’ll tell you that, but unfortunately in California, the Christmas spirit has been under attack for a long long time, so thank you for saying what you said my friend I’m very very honored to have you here. You are a great person and moreover, you’re a great friend to me and the channel.
@@backyardzoo7624 thank you backyard zoo with people like you there’s no chance that it will not grow. You guys are so supportive and I just appreciate you being here and show me love and respect.
Bryan Bryan. Sadly, it is my brother from another mother today got up to 55° it was so nice out today and tomorrow it’s supposed to be about the same thing so a lot of the snow is going to be gone in the next couple days not all of it but a lot of it will be.
@@nickpoulos4606 do you know what dude I never never even considered that and that would make sense I guess since they are in the same building right they are attached. I never thought about that but did you know Nick some of the other restaurants in Big Bear multiple restaurants with one owner? Like the peppercorn grill and Oakside, I believe are owned by the same people I hope you’re having a good day bro. Thanks for checking out some of these older man. I really appreciate that. It means a lot to me. I’ve put in a lot of time making this channel What it is.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 The Fire Rock was the original location of Saucy Mamas then he moved into the new location the Ice Cream and candy store is also owned by the same guy i met him a few times cant remember his name but i ate there quite often i love that town also did a lot of business with the guy that owns the Music Store
No way Dan. Damn thank you for sharing that with me. You guys educate me so much on Big Bear and things that used to be in the past and i never had any idea about it. I can’t thank you enough and I’m really sorry that my wife and I missed you when you were here a couple days ago but we are gonna get a chance to shake your hand bro I know it’s coming.
I heard Chad’s when it was Chad’s in the village used to be a Hells angels hang out sometime and I love riding my Harley Davidson so I’m really enthralled with that world of 1% ers. When I moved here, child’s was actually right across from the post office on Pineknot and I sing karaoke there once or twice and then it closed down because I sang so poorly lol
That’s a great question. I’ve heard that they actually do but I would hate to say they do and then they don’t. Lol when I drive by it tomorrow I’ll check it out for you.
Operation hotshot the only Murch that I have are the beanies. If that’s what you’re referring to. It’s the only Murch I have I’m in the process of paying off my credit cards and I know I would be able to sell product if I actually had it made but I’m trying to be as responsible as I can and get them all paid off and then I promise you I’m gonna start doing some other merchandise. Would you please give me some suggestions of what you would like and what you think other people would like it would mean a lot to me and as I said, I hope you’re referring to my merchandise or I’m gonna feel like a total idiot for my response lolololol 😅😊😊😅
I stayed at the place ,the club before but only paid like 250 a night, it was nice,loved the location the size of the place,but not worth 1100 a night wow,that's a rip off
Mine bro isn’t that absolutely insane. I was gonna surprise my wife for this last storm and I’ve been book it for Sunday and Monday night because those would be two very inexpensive nights compared to the rest of the week and the storm began on Sunday so would be perfect to do my Time-lapse from there also and when I saw the price of over $1000 per night I’m just a couple years ago it was about $200 a night. Some of the rooms were close to $400 but it was $1100 per night and I didn’t include the resort fees or anything. Mike, I hope you’re having a great night bro
Not as weird as me bro lol thank you Mr. snowboarder it’s great to hear from you today. I hope you’re having a spectacular evening. You just made my night better by being weird like me lol.
Very informative, but I would nix the personal opinion of business owners you've had issues with if your trying sell the town while you're telling us how expensive it is
You know what I agree with you that’s why I kind of walked it back a little bit when I was saying it so you’re absolutely right you have to remember I’m still learning and I’m very emotional so I speak from my heart I just in the type of person who doesn’t care too much for A-holes and would rather see other businesses do well but I guess that could all come back to. That’s just my subjective opinion and maybe other people think that the person is the nicest person in the world, so yeah, I totally get it. I think that’s terrific advice I really do so thank you and I hope you’re having a kick ass day my friend.
@@SK-bk3yh wow SK. I can’t believe how much love you guys show me I’m so thankful for you. What a beautiful comment. What kind thing to say thank you for making me feel so good inside. I am just so amazed that so many people leave me such beautiful words. I promise you, I’m always gonna do my best for you and thank you for being here. I really hope you never go anywhere my friend. I hope you stick with me and my wife and this channel and see where it takes us.
Please my friends. LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to our channel. Very much appreciated. Means so very much and so helpful. Cheers.
Super video!! Nik I want to congratulate you for this great video, nobody had ever done something like this in Big Bear and you have achieved it esteemed Nick, you explained every detail and showed us the large number of restaurants to visit and shops to buy, Felicidades Amigo Gran Trabajo!
Thank you so much Santino what a beautiful thing to say to me. I can’t believe I’m actually doing a good enough job for you guys to make comments like this. It means a lot to me what you said it made my day so happy and I’m just very grateful that you’re in my life and thank you for that beautiful comment. I really wish you the best always and I promise you I will never let you guys down I will do the best I can always.
Once again, what a beautiful thing to say to me. Thank you.
Nice video, Nikk. One place that deserves a spotlight is Bear Cupboards Market at 40850 Village Drive. Go left at the top of Pine Knot , like when you head to the shortcut on Pennsylvania. Kind of a new market there, nice foods.
Such a beautiful and inviting area!
Isn’t it gorgeous Pipin? Well thank you and it’s always a pleasure to hear from you my good friend I hope you’re having a lovely night.
I absolutely love this channel. I never watch regular television anymore. What a tremendous channel.
Wow, that’s one of the nicest compliment I think I could ever receive. I’m literally pinching myself right now. I can’t believe that I have impacted you this much when it comes to what I do. Thank you so much you amongst others. Here are such a loving people, and I never ever saw this coming. Just please understand. I am so grateful for you, and I will always do my very best for you and I love your username weather Heaven. Thank you so so so much. What a absolutely beautiful comment.
Nice walk & talk in the village! Nice to change it up a bit!
Thank you Wellesley my good friend I really appreciate that and it’s always so good to hear from you. I am so honored that you like to watch these videos and share this experience with me when a lot closer to you you have Tahoe and Mammoth so thank you so much I really do. Hope you’re having an amazing night. My night is always a lot better when I get to hear from you Wellesley.
Please, please never forget how grateful I am for you and I just hope you have the most kick ass rest of your evening my friend
Hey nikk looking beautiful in big bear nice to see you out and about
Paul bro. Great to hear you, my English friend one of my best friends in the world literally in the world lol.
Thanks for saying that it felt good to get out like that and I’m really sore today just from walking. I can’t believe it that’s just as a reflection on how out of shape I truly am so thank you again for your kind words, my friend. It’s always really awesome to hear from you and I will chat with you soon my bro.
By far your best 👍
No way down. Thank you very much man that means a lot to me.
I can't believe all the changes since I lived there, I don't recognize a thing!
Hi Meg. Great to hear from you again. I don’t even recognize or fro when as a kid I’d come up to ski and stay at our vacation house in Arrowhead.
To be honest I loved it tenfold more back then but maybe that’s because I was a tourist. Same as Hawaii. I had visitors about 5 times before I moved there at 19 years old on my own. Being a local was way way different.
Thanks Meg for being here my good new friend. I’m honored to have you in my life. Please stick around Meg with me and my wife and ride the youtube wave with us.
You rock
Big bear is so beautiful we had a blast!kids had a lot of fun we definitely coming back but this we are renting a cabin..
I am so glad you and the family had a great time. Just do me a favor when you come up next time try to come up during the week so you can get the best prices on a cabin. It’ll be best it’ll be significantly less during the week, Sunday night through Thursday night are the best times and in the meantime, I just hope you’re having a great day and once again, I’m so glad you guys had a beautiful time up here.
Hey Bro, if this is your first go around at a Village walk through, I'm gonna say, Great Job. I now have the need to go over and check out all the little hidden gems, I just don't pay any attention when I walk round there. again keep up the great video work, I enjoy watching your Channel. I just went back and watched one of your 2019 videos, the one with all the crazy rain and rivers flowing through the streets.
Brother Joe. Wow my friend thank you so much. I really can’t believe that you guys are in my life and especially people like you who are so kind and so loving my friend. I’m really glad that I got you to want to come back up and actually check out some of these little shops in the village that makes me really happy because these business owners deserve it for sure they work really really hard to try to provide the best experience for you guys possible so thank you Joe very much. You are unbelievably awesome and I’m so grateful that you’re in my life my brother thank you thank you thank you.
I've been in that Art Gallery with the local artists that Jennifer owns, there's no words for the photos and paintings in there and she's such a lovely friendly person.
@@joeprescott7846 Joe bro. I agree, my friend. I had such a comfortable time in that shop when she first walked out it seemed like she was really upset with me and I can understand how there are people out there who will take really good photos of other photos and try to pass them off as their own so I can understand what she’s trying to say to me but I was really grateful she let me go in there and try to spread the word of all the local beautiful Artisans. Thank you again Joe for being my friend buddy I appreciate it and I’m really really stoked that you’ve actually been in there I’ve never been in there until yesterday.
At Jack in the box, our staff takes great pride and works hard in preparing a high-quality, yet affordable food product. Our primary goal is guest satisfaction. We can only defend against derogatory characterizations by suggesting that you, the potential long-term customer, judge for yourself.
Well, as I said, you guys have a very amazing staff of very amazing staff there and Enrique is one of the greatest man I’ve ever known he’s actually done some paint work for me and he’s just a tremendous guy but a couple times I got sick after eating at the Jack-in-the-Box in big bear and I can only share my honest experience but I could never ever say anything negative about the employees. The employees have been very special and wonderful people and as I said, Enrique and his brother are good friends of mine I love that man with all my heart and he’s been there with you guys for a long, long time
But I hope you wouldn’t be upset about me, sharing my honest experience, because this is what happened to me, and I’m not the only one I’ve heard some things from other people as well, but I only speak for myself
But by no means, is that a reflection of who works there? I just think when I ordered some stuff it was bad I’m sure you guys probably still have some of the emails of one. I emailed you a few years back from when this happened and the management was very apologetic even offered me free food, but I was too scared to eat anything else there. I want everybody in this town to succeed, but my job here is to be honest and if it hurts people, if my honesty is hurting people, I really feel sorry about that and I really don’t ever want to impact anybody else in a negative way, but I have to be honest about my experience because people rely on me to give them the proper information. Maybe I need to put a statement up that says these are my opinions and it’s just what I think and make up your own minds, but please understand I would never disparage anybody who works there my goodness no way I’ve had a couple friends who used to work there as well, but Enrique is an absolute hero, and a hard-working, amazing dude and I used to only go in there when he was working I think it was Monday and Tuesdays in the evening time and then I would sit and talk with him at the window for quite a few minutes because I would only go in late night typically
So I really hope you’re not upset with me and I hope you can forgive me because I really have a lot of love for the people who work in this town. Do you know one time being sick as a dog OK I can let it go and I continued eating there and about a year after the first time I got a breakfast burrito and it was really runny really really wet. It was dripping almost water out from it and within an hour and a half I was sicker than a dog for the rest of the day coming out from every area of my body. So please understand all I’m trying to do is help this town, but I have to help the people who come up here as well by being honest with my experiences just like with my hotel videos I’m honest with everybody about how I feel personally about the hotels and it’s up to them to make up their own mind whether they want to stay there.
So Connor please forgive me, my friend I feel really really really bad but that was my experience and I don’t know what else to say about it I hope you get back to me bro and you know what I think ever since I have eaten there before the management has changed
The ownership has changed. So it’s probably better now and I’m willing to try it out again.
And just so you know, your Jack in the box in big Bear was my favorite place to visit to eat dinner if you look at a lot of comments from one of my friends on this channel called Albert E. We always joke together about going to Jack in the box because I used to do videos going through the Jack-in-the-Box line. I love Jack in the box and it really upsets me that I’ve had such bad experiences at this particular Jack in the box that I can’t get my sourdough Jack anymore or my spicy chicken sandwich anymore because those are two of my favorite burgers in the whole entire world.
So I’ll tell you what because you were very nice about this and you understand that I’m just being honest with my own experience I’m not trying to hurt anybody I would be happy to try and start eating there again and show the people on the channel that it’s back to regular standards . Funny enough my older sister used to work for Jack-in-the-Box corporate if you remember what happened years and years ago were a couple people actually died. That’s the time that my sister was working for Jack-in-the-Box corporate before Jack-in-the-Box changed all their advertising and marketing.
Jack-in-the-Box is one of my all-time favorites. It starts with In-N-Out Burger, Del taco, and then Jack in the box.
So I’m willing to give it another shot and really speak highly in the future. I just really feel bad but I can’t be dishonest about my experiences and I have a feeling because you seem like such a good person that the place is totally different and I’m definitely willing to try it out again if you’re OK with me coming in and eating some food.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Thank you very much Nikkolas for the kind explanation and your willingness to try it again. 👍
Just got back from bear and it was great!! Alot of snow melted though so im hoping for a storm pretty soon
Derek I hope you had a blast man. It sounds like you had a safe trip also so that makes me happy. I’m really glad you had a good time. It looks like in about 10 days there’s a chance for another storm to come through.
Which highway did you take? How were the roads on the way up?
@@kimberlyxo2358 I hope he gets back to you, but I’ll tell you what I know for sure that the roads are in great condition all of them coming up to big bear. The only thing I would suggest is when you drive up here try to get up the mountain after the temperatures go above freezing just to make it as safe as possible for you. I don’t want anything to happen to you guys. You guys are very special to my heart.
Good job 10 years!
Clyde your the best. I appreciate the encouragement, my bro, Thank you for checking out some of these older videos. It’s amazing to me how long I’ve been doing this I really enjoy it.
Thank you so much for this video. We are going to travel there for the first time on the next couple of days and I was. So nervous until your video from last year came up, and now I've got a sense of what to expect.
My favorite store is Bear Essentials. I like the Clothing there.
Nice my friend I’m glad to hear that that’s really cool that you like that store Kuul store kind of eh!! on the ownership though. If it’s the place, I’m thinking, I really appreciate you sharing that with me because you guys are helping a lot of other people to find good places to go shop. Obviously that place is ridiculously expensive but that’s what happens in a tourist town is everything is very expensive. I wish they would actually take care of the tourist more because without you guys, none of us live here.
Loved this. What a cool vantage point seeing the town on a walking tour!
This was fun!
Thanks for sharing... 🙂
Congrats on 10 years!! 🎉
Wow CA. That is really nice of you to wish me a happy 10 years. Thank you so much and thank you so much for your beautiful comment. It makes me so happy to do his videos for people like you it’s people like you can make this channel everything it is today.
I am so grateful for you. I really hope you stick around here for a long time with us and take this UA-cam journey until the wheels fall off with me and my wife and the rest of us.
Have a terrific night my good buddy CA.
Nick, you did a wonderful job with this village walk 🚶♂️ 👏 ❤️.
Thank you, Jennifer, for allowing us into your beautiful shop and to John as well.
It's been years since I've traveled to your little piece of heaven. I can't afford to visit, as you are correct Nick, its just too expensive to stay overnight, and I really enjoy the area's lake area, fishing and, of course, the eagles🦅🦅🦅. Shadow, & Spirit wherever you are.
Nick, you took me along with you, on your excursion during these last snow storms, I deeply want to thank you for taking the time, and expense Sir, while I was safely home & warm.
Heyyyyy I’m watching love you two Nik and Richal love this Channel congratulations on 10 years sober
Thanks Vivian. We love you a lot as well. Wish she was with me today. She had to work.
So beautiful I miss it
Hi Sylvia. Well, we really miss you here. I hope you get a chance to come back up soon my friend.
Opps, I forgot to write in "Jackie's" name in my previous comment. Regarding your beautiful bonded eagle pair up there.
Nick, Congratulations on your sobriety of 10 glorious years. That's a wonderful mile stone, 👏👏👏and you in my prayers 🙏.
I was deeply touched by your honesty in this walk about town with your personal experiences, with the shops. I was busy typing these comments and was still doing so when it had come to the end... Then I heard you say how much-loved and needed we are to you.
Sweet man, you are an asset to this community and an inspiration for us all!
We all struggle to find our place in this life... you have my subscription, and gratitude for what you do for us, who can't make it out, to see all the beauty in your area. But I will now try to visit this spring (with my binoculars), Sir, because of your dedication!
Thank you again 💓 and thank you to those wonderful people who help keep us up on our National Symbol 🦅 up there in Big Bear @ FOBBV CAM.
Nick... I had not seen your site until the storms hit... and your channel popped up. I'm very glad you did... and perhaps you have already covered your local resident eagles. I will look through your work.
But if not, perhaps you could visit with or do a post on their work ? Just a thought.
Between the both of you... I've a renewed interest and love for Big Bear.
That town truly... owes you both, a HUGE, THANK YOU!!!
From my neck of the woods, in the High Desert 🏜 Apple Valley... Thanks, and great job 🫶💕
Memory lane for sure, North Pole Fudge shop is the best, thanks for the tour & info about the places. 🍬
Pizza face I think it was you telling me about the N. Pole Fudge Pl. and so I wanted to make sure I got that on film for you and did you notice that two people from Mexico ran out of the store to say aren’t you the Big Bear guy? How cool is that? That was so freaking awesome it almost makes me wanna cry because I can’t believe the recognition I get just for being my dorky self.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 yes that was me suggesting the north pole candy shop, thanks for filming it and showing others, what a trip running into people who know who you are ur a celebrity now 😀
Leather Depot has very nice products. We go to Copper Q for desserts and Hot Chocolate. Always busy. I’ve been to the theatre. Have good prices on Tuesday. Nice Art store. Thanks for walk through Nikk.
Craig, I can’t believe you bro you’re always watching the videos all the way through. It makes me so happy that someone as wise and bright as you as busy as you are that you still have time to enjoy what I do and you really do watch these videos. It blows my mind thank you for being so kind and being one of my best friend in the whole wide world.
Thanks for your walking tour effort, i loveet.Its a good exercise for you🤭👌 i love the ART GALLERY, shout out the owner, JENNIFER… the SOCIAL KITCHEN😋THE BONE YARD😋, the NORTH POLE ice cream😍😋, i keep goin’ Big Bear but i never visit the PAISLEY BOUTIQUE😟 and TOY GALLERY, will do next road trip 🚘 nice to see that gorgeous couple from Mexico City and of course, THE VILLAGE ❤️💚❤️ THANK YOU NICK👏👏👏
Wow Keyrol. What an incredible comment my friend thank you so much and I am so glad you’re gonna check out some of these other stores when you come up here I really never understood or imagined that I would have this type of an impact and it makes me really happy because I am a very selfless person and I am so happy that I’m able to touch other peoples lives and help other people that’s what gets me out of bed every day with my regular job. That’s what I do as well so I’m very very very happy and so happy that you’re in my life you’ve been here for a minute now and I’m super super grateful for you. Thank you for sharing your love and experience with me I’m so so thankful for you.
daaaaaamn ten years sober?! congrats dude!
Also sick pants 🙏
Hahahahahaha dbeach rock in the pajama pants lol a couple people notice that I was wearing actual pants in the video in cold weather and you guys were very proud of me lol I really appreciate your support. I love the comment. I’ve been to nine rehabs and two sober living houses over 25 years to be able to not have one sip of alcohol for 10 years and the crazy thing is I used to go to one AA meeting every day and sometimes I would do 180 meetings in 90 days numerous times a.m. p.m.
And this is the first time I haven’t been to one AA meeting the whole 10 years it’s not quite 10 years on June 23. It’ll be 10 years I can’t believe it I was with the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous referred to as the hopeless variety so thank you for your love and support my friend.
Loved your village walk, especially the Artisans Etc. Gallery. Your videos are so clear and colorful. I keep sharing them with others and encourage them to check out more of your work. The scenic drives around the dam thru Fawnskin are beautiful.
You and Rachel are great.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for saying that about my wife and myself. Betty you truly are someone very special to the channel for love and respect you show us really is paramount to me doing this at such a high-level I know I don’t do much editing or anything like that, but I have a real passion for what I do for you guys because of comments like this, so thank you so much and I can’t wait to go check out that shop you told me about and I will tell ED you sent me.
nice to see the dog store is still there. we make it a point to get stuff for our corgi when ever we visit BB.
Hey Melly. My good friend you’re corgi must be the happiest corgi ever.
And yes, the store looked amazing. I couldn’t believe that they have a whole store to set aside for those cute little doggies.
I hope you guys come visit Big Bear again sooner than later, and grace this place with some amazing people’s presence which is you guys
Oh I remember the big bear shop. Awesome used to shop there. Oh my goodness so many new places. I loved the village. Village mall so fun. Ioved the tour. Thank nikk
Well Linda I absolutely love the comment you are such a kind person. I am so grateful for you. Thank you for making me feel like I’m worthy and making me feel just so good about myself for the following my passion I really really care a lot about you guys, so thank you so much and my wife says thank you as well. Rachel loves you guys so much.
I remember when the Big Bear Village Mall had Ye Olde Game Shoppe. Wonder what happened to the owner?
I’ve tried to educate myself on the history of this town and even really local history like just before I moved here and it’s really difficult to learn a lot about big bear for me. At least I’ve been trying to find out information kind of similar things to what you’re looking for what happened to the arcade what happened to the Bungie thing in front of Bear Mountain when I used to come up as a little kid all these things had so much nostalgia for me.
I hope you’re having a good one Nathan. It’s great to hear from you my brother.
Big Bear Superstore is so big because that used to be the superbear arcade, my little brother worked there
Me way. That’s so cool Meg. Thanks for sharing that with me. I love hearing about past locals and some history as well. You rock Meg.
Thank you so informative! You speak Sanish..so cool. Pura Vida.
Viviana yes I do speak fluently. I sometimes get my verbs mixed up and present tense and past tense of mixed up but I love speaking Spanish. I’ve been speaking since I was a little boy I can speak French as well. I used to speak French fluently, but now I just remember bits and pieces from school.
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for being a very instrumental part of this channel. It’s comments like yours that makes me feel so good and give me the inspiration and want to do so much more. Thank you.
Pura Vida
Thanks much friend for your walkabout in Big bear. Looks like snow is melting. I think you may be getting more. Up north California is getting some rain this weekend. 😊
Hey there Deb. That’s amazing that they’re getting rain now up north unfortunately we’re not getting any more snow until maybe the 13th of the month but it’s still so far out yesterday at showed 2 1/2 straight days of snow at that time of the month and today it showed one day of snow around that time so please keep your fingers crossed for us and thank you so much for always being here and always being so kind.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 you are easy to be kind to. Enjoy your chilly night. Sure you and the wife have a nice fireplace. 😊❤🙏
@@deborahhall3488 this is where you’re going to freak out we do not have a fireplace at my house. I’m one of the few houses in all of big bear that literally doesn’t have a fireplace so we spend a lot of money on the wall heater every month lol if I had a fireplace, life would be so much different because that’s mountain living for sure.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 do you have room for a portable one? They are great. Its the size of a table and fits anywhere. They sell them on HSN, Amazon.
@@deborahhall3488 do you know what I do not have one but the fireplace is probably bigger than my house. To be honest I live in a shoebox, but I’ve seen the Amish made fireplaces. Those look awesome
Great village walk around 👍
Thank you Gabriel my bro seriously though I can’t wait to get to meet my wife
Oh and village pizz yum 😋 yum. Thank you for your 10 years. Best choice for you. I am 30years. Would have never made it to 80 had I not stopped. Oh and North woods Inn. Used to be called)big place where we always stayed. Right at end of village.
Wow Linda, you’re 80 years old my friend with 30 years sober? Congratulations it means even that much more to me that someone who is sober from their drug of choice. Recognize me for almost 10 years what a blessing and you’ve been a blessing on this channel thank you for being so kind to me. You can always ask me any questions you want. I’m always here for you guys OK
Cool Nikk loved Jennifer's art shop ETC
MK it’s good to hear from you my good buddy. How the heck are you? How’s life treating you out there in Texas? That was a really great art shop, and I was really really proud that they only take artwork from locals and the work was absolutely beautiful inside that shop and to see someone they’re painting live was pretty cool
I hope you and the family are doing wonderful. It’s really great to hear from you. It always is my friend.
@mike kiralla mike my brother you’re gonna be totally fine when it comes to your travels. I guarantee you it’ll be an easy drive I believe however, it is going to be Friday so just be very cautious. I don’t want you to get stuck in a ton of traffic just please get up here safe and sound and when you make it here if you remember, send me a message to let me know you made it safely. OK bro I hope you have an incredible time and have a great rest of your night, bro.
Love the walk. A polarizer lens filter will allow you to cut down the glare/reflections to almost nothing. Give it a shot!
Hey my good friend llyran. Let me ask you a question do you know if they make that for my iPhone because that’s what I record with a record with an iPhone and sometimes I use my GoPro but I haven’t used it in a couple years. What a beautiful suggestion. Thank you so much because I want to go out of my way and do everything I can to make these as best as I can for each and every single one of you I really love the compliment thank you for the support, and if you know anything about an iPhone, and that glare protection let me know please
I cherish you very much for caring so much
Brother - thanks for the walk through - liked and subscribed - coming up from LA on the 4th weekend - staying at the Holliday Inn lodge.
No way Bobby. My brother from another mother I want you to know how thankful and grateful I am that you subscribed to the channel. You guys truly are so instrumental in my emotional well-being these days because I suffer from severe depression and ever since I’ve had you guys in my life and my wife things have changed dramatically, but I’m still suffering every now and again thank you so much for the support and I really hope I never let you down. I promise you Bobby I will always do the best I can and I hope you have a safe trip from Los Angeles my friend.
Check it out bro in my only playlist it’s only the lodging. I only have one playlist check out my stay at the lodge at big bear. It’s the holiday inn resort. I stayed in the biggest room they have to offer. You should check it out and let me know what you think.
Please do me a favor when you make it here safely. Please let me know by sending me a message so I don’t have to worry about you getting up here safely.
Congratulations on 10 years sober,I think the superstore next to Jack in the box was the arcade, I also remember a movie theater right in that area! Also Village music owner was a way cool guy who had pictures from Eddie Van Halen’s wedding!
Wow state of Jefferson. Holy crap dude it’s great to hear from you. It’s been a minute. I am so happy to hear from you. Seen your name pop up like that really made my night.
You really do have some good knowledge of this town my friend it’s clear you spent some time here lol and yes, I think you are correct. I think that was the old arcade if you’re looking at Jack in the box from the front of the building just to the right.
Once again, it’s wonderful to hear from you state of Jefferson. I am so unbelievably grateful to have you here.
Hey, check it out you have until February 5 to go to the video I just did a few days ago of the Big Bear Coffe Roasting Company click thumbs up and leave a comment and you’ll be in the running for one of two $50 visa or MasterCard gift cards. I would be so stoked to send that to you so please do me and yourself a favor and go over to that video as soon as you read this message quick like and just leave a short comment to be in the running.
I dedicated one of my radiation treatments to Eddie Van Halen the day he passed they blasted VH guitar solo 🎸 EVH rock on 🙏
@@danpayan9468 you are a rockstar man. Your a wonderful person with a heart of gold Dan
Great video. You did perfect. Thank you! Big Bear Grizzly local paper was mentioning little support from local residents on Replenish Big Bear Lake Project. Only 4 people spoke at meeting and when opened up for letters on public opinion they got 3 letters of support from local residents. Am I missing something? Why aren't local residents participating in trying to get this going? Lake is drying up. Is there some inside story not getting reported that locals know about and not us flatlanders? Is there something local residents are against with this project going forward? 🤔 Kmart finally sold so good news there! 👍
That’s a great question Julie I have no idea. I never even heard about these local talks going on, so maybe that’s the problem is the word isn’t getting out because I’m a resident who would definitely be there to support the whole project, and there is just like most towns, a lot of stuff hidden in the underbelly of this town. It is a tourist town, so not a lot gets out for instance, a couple days ago, the police had to defend themselves and shot and killed a woman And there’s other stuff that happens up here so there’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t really get out on the front page of the newspapers when it comes to big bear and I’m just wondering what this is all about I’m really glad you mentioned this to me because I need to find a way to be able to go put in my two cents. I don’t think I’m special or deserve any more time than anybody anybody else But I would really love to be able to at least put in my two cents and explain why I feel having the lake full would impact our town significantly when it comes to tourism it would be much more beautiful. Also, I just didn’t even hear about these talks going on, but that could be my fault. I don’t focus on the local government in big Bear. I just stick to myself, but I thought because of what I do, I would at least hear about things happening.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 ok! Wow! I get local paper, because I love Big Bear so much, and I will give you a heads up next time! 👍
Thanks for the video. I definitely going to take my friend to the noodle spot she loves noodles. Also we always go to Murray’s bar for a few drinks and great food.
My friend thunder. Oh yeah, Murrays has amazing food. I was so shocked that a little bar like that would actually have terrific food.
I hope you’re having a wonderful day thunder it’s always good to hear from you
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 that place surprised us also with there food. My friend and I always stop there to have food and drinks every time we’re up there. I tell everyone that goes to big bear to stop at Murray’s for the food.
@@thunderbeast2126 i’m telling you thunder I couldn’t believe the food at Murrays when I first moved up here and because I don’t like going to bars because I don’t drink and I don’t like being around drunk people because I hated myself when I was drunk I was convinced to go in there with my old boss. His name is Ben Harper he’s the guitar player for that band Yellowcard he’s the one who started the band. I was a delivery driver for his 420 business and I went in there and he bought me dinner one night and I couldn’t believe how great the food was but I’ll tell you what I never knew about that noodle store in the village so I’m gonna tell my wife all about it. I’m sure she’s already been there but maybe not it’s good to hear from you. Thunder beast.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 can’t wait for the next video keep it up.
@@thunderbeast2126 thunder versus thank you for saying that I can’t believe you’re so enthused with my channel or our channel. I should say it makes me so happy I want to do such good things for you guys.
Great place tho live .Go well Nikki groeten from the Netherlands .
Love you Peter bro. I’m telling you my friend if this channel ever grows enough to where I can go take a vacation every once in a while, I’m gonna take my wife to the Netherlands to come visit.
Last time I was there I told you I want to Amsterdam and went to Rotterdam and then we went to a miniature town called MaduroDamn. I know I missed spelled that I have so many pictures of being with my father there.

I love Del Lago Boutique. Cute and stylish clothes ! ❤
Jolene I saw so many stores I never knew existed. It was amazing. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully someone sees this comment and shops there because of you.
Hey Nikk, congrats on a decade sober! 🎉
Love this little walk. Some of our favorites are Social, and Scenic Souvenirs (formerly Big Bear Discount), and our favorite is the Gelato & Teahouse! We always ask for Georgie to make some of his special hot cocoas! Seriously, don’t sleep on the gelato house! 😋 anyways, love the channel and what you do, man. Take care!
Thank you Rece. I really am grateful for your support. You have been so wonderful and someone who makes me feel so good about what I’m doing so I really thank you so much for being there for me and thank you for telling me a little bit about your experiences up in the village like that funny enough my next-door neighbor is George from that gelato shop. I’ve been there once I need to go there more often because of you so thank you for the suggestion.
That’s so awesome! Let George know he is one of the best parts of Big Bear and one of the reasons we love coming back in every season. It’s people like you and George that really make Big Bear special. Hope he’s doing well! Have a good one!
@@recemora7439 well, thank you for saying that the next time I see him I will definitely tell him that you said that Rece. It would be my honor to do that because I’m very privileged to have you in my life.
There was 2 arcades pine knot and 1 on village
See, I’m remembering that and my friend who has a friend now his name is Robert, a.k.a. Bobby. He works at Triangle market and the liquor store in the village right across from Robinhood Resort. When I was younger he used to be the manager at the arcade and when I first moved up here, his voice, he can’t mistaken for anybody he’s got a voice for radio for sure and I asked him didn’t used to work at one of these like the bowling alley or something? And he told me the arcade and I knew exactly right away.
28:00 oh but you had no idea what was waiting to come at the end of that month! Lol hope all is well buddy
Hey Rudy. You got that right bro seriously that’s funny you say that because I had no clue what the heck was coming
It’s good to hear from you bro. I hope you’re doing great as always, and it’s always a blessing to get to hear from you Rudy.
The town looks so beautiful. Might want to drive up one weekend coming up, but don't want to deal with snow and chains and crap. Are the roads pretty clear right now? Looked like it.
My boi Bobby. So I think you’re gonna be good if you come up this weekend especially one thing that is sometimes an issue quite a bit of time after the snow is off the main roads as some of the side streets that don’t see a lot of direct sunlight could still have some rough spots but I think for the most part you’re gonna be totally good. We hit 55° today and tomorrow we could hit close to 60 I can’t believe it, it’s probably gonna be 55 again tomorrow but for the weekend I think you’re gonna have a great time Bobby I think you’ll get here safe and sound few are concerned makes me a little bit concerned so send me a message when you make it up here safely OK brother
Oakside Restaurant has great fish & chips (sweet potato fries)! Amangela's has yummy broccoli-cheese soup. I love sitting out front with my dog watching all the people. Leather Depot and upstairs shops are always fun.
Super nice people and Big Bear is very dog-friendly.
You have to see SantaLand/Hollywood Studios. Photos encouraged! Tell Ed that Betty sent you!
Wow Betty. Thank you so much for that suggestion I want to take my wife there. I never knew that place existed and you watch these videos before I’m driving through the village all the time. How in the heck did I miss that?
And I definitely when I go in there and Tell Ed that Betty the best sent me.
Your so awesome Betty. I am so grateful for your support and your great suggestion for the wife and myself.
Well helllooo! You did a great job Nikk! I thoroughly enjoyed this video. The store with the stairs is my favorite. I always buy something from there. Super cool that those people recognized you too!!Wow!! By the way, There is a guitar in the music shop signed by Alice In Chains! I was fascinated with that. Not a big rocker girl but that band was amazing. Thx again Nikk for a fun video. 😊
You are welcome and next time I’m gonna go into the shop and check it out. I was in the village music store when it was on Pineknot. It was much smaller that store they have right now is huge. Well thank you again for letting me know and that place upstairs with those 20 little shops is incredible.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 looking forward to more tours.

The Teddy Bear was a good restaurant I don't know about now the building before Teddy Bear where you were looking at the homes for sale that used to be Lucy's Real State my folks bought both there homes in that office and some other properties
They also sold those homes through that office The Cave used to be the Village Theater where I saw for the first time movies that are now classics
Like Star Wars and Close Encounters ect....
the Sugar Bear Arcade well that's all we had for video games
We didn't Play Station and XBox
Bro, thank you so much for sharing all that with me you really do give me a really good in-depth look of this town way back before my time ever being here. I came here in 2015 before that I didn’t know a damn thing about the town I knew a little bit about Lake arrowhead because that’s my favorite place in this mountain range but I knew I wouldn’t really have much opportunity to find a steady job in Lake arrowhead so that’s why I chose to move the big bear and also when I did my research show that it snows more in big bear I’ll tell you what if I had the option to move to Lake arrowhead? That would be awesome but if the channel was Lake arrowhead weather and more, I really don’t think there would be a lot of people watching lol.
I hope you’re doing great today. The reason I wanted to go eat at the teddy bear restaurant was because you told me what your son’s favorite meal was at that restaurant and I was so honored to do that but I don’t think I actually got the burger I think it was breakfast that I ordered .
Anyway, thanks again Lee for sharing my friend
The road cracks me up lol
Johnny boy. Always great to hear from you. I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed so I’m trying to figure out what you meant by that they get back to me and let me know because I’m always interested in what you have to say.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Nikk just poking fun at the amount of cracks in asphalt in the main street..it's cracking up and cracking me up lol. Thanks for sharing though it is great information for people visiting Big Bear. I hope to be one of them one day before I push up daisies...
@@jkgmh6669 haha you’re not gonna be pushing up daisies anytime soon bro, so don’t talk like that you’ve become one of my good friends right away
I really hope you get a chance to come out here and if this channel keeps growing in the next couple years, I’ll be able to afford to fly people out here for certain winning drawings and stuff like that I really want to give back as much as I can to you guys and I would love to have you come all the way from Australia bro
And you know what the roads are so bad up here it cracks me up as well but it really pisses me off. Also, the potholes are insane but I’ve actually noticed a lot of the potholes in the past week. I’ve been fixed but I guarantee you it’s gonna come right back the next snow we have.
John, you are so awesome bro I am so honored to have you in my life brother and once again you’re not gonna be pushing any days is anytime soon ever we’re gonna live forever brother
Wow looks beautiful! We are visiting this sunday can you suggest some places were can enjoy some snow activities? Looks like most of the snow is already melting so kind of curious!
Hi there Laxmi. So there’s a couple spots that I think you would enjoy. It does cost a couple bucks to do it but they make fresh snow at both of these locations so I think it’ll be perfect for the family and especially the children.
One of them is called the Alpine slide at Magic Mountain and the second location is called big bear snow play
These are very easy to find. Both of them are on Big Bear Blvd. and if you go onto Google and type in the names of what I just gave you, it will give you all the information you need.
I am so excited for you guys to come up and have some fun and also yes you are correct the snow is melting pretty rapidly and tomorrow we’re supposed to be in the 50s again but as I said in the evening times these places actually make fresh snow for everybody so if you get there early enough when they open, it’ll be perfect conditions for the children and I am just really excited for them to have a blast. I’m assuming for the kids
I really hope this helps. If it wasn’t helpful enough please don’t hesitate to get back to me because my goal is to make sure all of you have the best time possible.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Wow thank you so much for such a quick response! It really helps 😊 will definitely visit these places! Btw its just me & my husband and we are as excited as any kid would be to see snow ❄️ as we are also from SoCal and never got chance to see snow! 😁 You are doing a great job and i do watch your videos regularly to enjoy some beautiful snowy clips! Keep up the great work!
@@laxmiiyer9454 well, thank you to you and your husband very much for being fans of the channel. I grew up in Newport Beach and the best time of my life was as a kid coming up to my mom and dad’s house in Lake arrowhead and being in the snow that’s what I would look forward to all year and when we would leave, I would cry and I would look forward to the next time we were coming back up such a great time and I’m really glad that I can show you guys the beautiful town while you’re not here I really hope you and your husband get a chance to come up here again soon and thanks again for being so supportive and don’t forget if it really really makes you happy this channel. Don’t forget to hit the like button because believe it or not supposedly it really helps me. I just don’t know how lol
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 Yes for sure! Thank you for all the inputs! Looking forward to our Sunday trip 😊
@@laxmiiyer9454 I just hope you guys have an amazing time. If you’re concerned about getting up here please send me a message when you guys make it safe and sound so I know you guys are OK.
I sure wished it wasn't going through what it is right now. With the fires and them taking away the insurance from people and stuff like that I would love to live in a place like this, but now it's pretty scary and probably pretty impossible to be able to do.
Hey there, home is.
First of all, let me apologize for not seeing your comment until just now. I feel horrible about that.
And I agree with you it’s such a bummer that they’re doing everything possible to make life harder for everybody, but that’s basically California in a nutshell I expect nothing less. I’m expecting things to get worse and worse and harder and harder in California.
When I moved up here 10 years ago, things were so much different and literally it was only a decade ago but yes, you’re right on the money. It is not easy now it never was but it was a lot easier back then. And I wish for everybody to be able to have a chance to live in a peaceful place like this to get away from the rat race and the concrete jungle and be able to actually live a decent life
If you’re seriously, considering it, don’t hesitate to reach out to me, and I would be willing to do everything in my power to help your transition and give you suggestions and answer any questions you might have
Take care of yourself my friend and again I’m so sorry I didn’t see your comment. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and if you do respond, please make sure you leave me a new comment because I will not get notified to your response to my response, it’s really weird how that works.
Is it hard to park in the village? I’m coming up tomorrow. Street? Public place? PS: keep up the hood work….
Thanks Bobby. Being Sunday it shouldn’t be that difficult to park in the village and if you can’t park on the main road, they have a couple big parking lot on the side of the village. You shouldn’t have any problem, bro and thank you for the compliment.
I can’t stop looking at your pjs 😂
Hahaha. Gabriel you’re so funny bro I hope you’re doing well. I hope Nora and the kids are doing well. It’s always a blessing to hear from you. Thank you for all the information you’re sending me about how much rain we’ve been receiving and how much snow and pretty much the statistics that I’m desperate for. Thank you so much. When do I get to see you again my brother and when do I get to introduce you to my beautiful bride?
Good stuff Nikk, really digging the new style videos!!! Keep up the great work!
TANGO bro thank you so much for saying that coming from you that means a lot to me and I know you’re being totally honest with me so the fact that you’re enjoying these new type of videos that I’m doing makes me so happy bro oh my gosh I am so grateful and just like the snow videos I’m enjoying doing this it comes straight from my heart so thank you for sharing this experience with me my big brother
Heading up to my cabin tonight for a SNOWBOARDING sesh tomorrow morning...
How are the ski conditions boss?
Tony the good news is my friend. I’ve heard really good things that the ski conditions are great because they’re making snow at night. It’s been pretty cold, so if you get up early enough and hit the runs early, it’s gonna feel like it just snowed.
Please get up here safe and sound and I hope you have a kick ass time Tony
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 you're always so true to form... my respects wnd appreciation to the Big Bear 🐻 King ...
Thanks Brotha ✌🏾
@@tonygee19641 Tony thank you so much bro what a beautiful thing to say to me you absolutely made my night by saying that you obviously see how much I care about you guys and how hard I work for you guys. Keep in mind this UA-cam channel doesn’t make me hardly any money and eight months out of the year I don’t make anything from the channel I have a full-time other job where I work 60 hours per week and so for you to say something like that keeps me inspired to want to continue kicking ass for you guys and showing off this beautiful little town
Tony, I would be honored if when you come up to big Bear you hit me up if I have a minute I would love to shake your hand
How many rooms they have in the cabins?
So we have very many hotels up here and some of them have 10 cabins. Some of them have 50 cabins. It all depends on where you want to stay. I have a feeling I didn’t answer your question properly, so please get back to me and give me a little more specific of a question so I can help you the best I can make a friend.
is there a place you recommend for rentals?i usually just hit up the mountain, snowboad for my kids heading this weekend . thanks in advance
My brother Eddie, so check it out. All the shops along the boulevard are typically pretty expensive and you would expect the mountain to be just as expensive if not more because of the convenience but I always rent when I rent at the mountain just to kill a few birds with one stone and that’s what I suggest you and your children do when you come up Eddie I’m really excited for you guys to come hit the slopes and share the big bear experience with the rest of us
Thanks again for being so awesome thank you for asking me that question. I hope that’s an answer you wanted to hear I’m just giving you my best opinion on what I would do.
If I knew somebody at one of these shops or one of the owners, I would ask them if you guys go to rent your stuff there would they give you a discount that’s something I’m gonna try to work out with some of the shops of here if they mentioned that their friends of the channel to hook you guys up
HOOO ...is The Best Mexican Food The Guacamole Nick Is Yummi. Yummi
Really really??? Thank you for sharing that. I always forget that place is there. I can’t wait to take my wife. Thank you for telling me that.
This is such a nice walk! You should have some of these companies sponsor you a paid sponsorship you two look into it Thank you for this walk I’m glad your starting to do this ❤
Well thank you Vivian we really appreciate you as well. I hope the husband and the children are doing great and your support over the years has been so incredible thank you and I’m really glad you enjoyed the walking video. It would be nice to get some sort of a sponsorship from some of these companies I just have to figure out how to work that because if one business sponsors me, they’re probably gonna find it to be a conflict of interest if I’m interviewing other stores similar to them and I want everyone in this channel to see everything we have to offer. I’ll tell you what those sponsorship would be great. Who knows what’s gonna happen with this channel? I’m just keeping an open mind and whatever it takes us it takes us.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 do different foods and shops it want be a conflict look on UA-cam they have people to show you how it's very amazing like you and your wife
@@vivianpadilla7025 I agree completely what I was trying to say is for instance, let’s say the noodle shop sponsors me, and does things for me maybe financially if I interview other restaurants and get people to go to those restaurants, they might not be happy about that that’s all I was saying, and they might take away my sponsorship That’s why I was trying to be very careful about how I do this because I want to show everything in the town?
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 yesss think it through but you can you will 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@vivianpadilla7025 I will for sure. I want to expose all the greatness in this area. And exposing all the greatness in big bear it’s gonna be awesome to share with each and every single one of you so thank you very much for the support.
Saludos tu español es muy bueno 👌
Hola Herberth my friend.
muchas gracias lo creas o no en realidad hablo un poco de español. De hecho, hablo con fluidez, pero no puedo escribir tanto o tan bien, así que estoy usando mi traductor para enviarle este mensaje. Por favor, desde el fondo de mi corazón, muchas gracias por sus amables palabras, y estoy muy agradecida de tenerte aquí en este canal y en mi vida, realmente espero que nunca te vayas a ningún lado, y que continúes viendo este canal con nosotros y veas a dónde nos lleva este canal de UA-cam a todos juntos. Una vez más, muchas gracias por su apoyo y espero que tengan una noche increíble.
The Mexican grill is the best. Love Peppercorns when someone Special is coming to town. Copper Q is the coolest place downtown. Noodle bar, that must be new? Lobster place gone, They usually survive best in five star shopping centres.
Exactly about the lobster place. I was really sad to see it go the owner and I became pretty good friends and I could’ve done a video for him. It wouldn’t have helped I’m sure but thank you for your comment. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience of some of those restaurants, and when it comes to PEPPERCORN, I’m just like you when my mom would come into town. That’s the only time I would go eat there to take people from out of town.
Wow that Peppercorn Grille was expensive😮
My brother Manny PEPPERCORN GRILLE is very expensive for that type of restaurant in big bear. My choice is Captains Anchorage. I will definitely eat at PEPPERCORN and be happy to eat there. I really enjoy it but my choice is definitely Captains Anchorage for a high-end classy restaurant.
I hope you’re having a good one Manny, my bro
May I know what month is this ?
Hey Gina at the very beginning of the video I mention what month and year and then in the title of the video it says so I’m pretty sure it was February 2, 2023
I really hope you enjoyed the video and thank you for your question. I appreciate that just so you know for future reference in just about every single video I make I put the date at the very end of the title, but sometimes because the titles use all the characters available. It doesn’t show you unless you actually click on the title for it to expand and you can see the whole title.
Gina, I hope you’re having a beautiful day my friend. Thank you very much again for leaving your question and if there’s anything else don’t hesitate to ask it’s an honor to be able to help you guys whenever I can.
Hey, brand new to this channel but think it’s really rad! I’m currently deciding between 2-3 cabins for an upcoming trip, and was wondering if you do any short custom videos around town (for $ of course)?
Hey my brother Noah, I’m very honored to have you here bro. That is super cool of you to see what you said about the channel blows me away I’ll support of you guys are
So if you’re asking me doing custom drives around town for money are you telling me that you want me to drive on video somewhere for you to show you what it looks like? And bro you’re my brother now you’re in my life I’m not gonna charge you to do that on the next video I do you just Gotta remind me because over the years I’ve smoked myself stupid and my memory is terrible, but I would never charge you to do a drive Ever. It would be a privilege to stoke you out like that.
You just get back to me and tell me where you wanted me to go tomorrow I’m doing a Drive that is going to be called how much snow remains in big bear for the weekend or something like that
So let me know what you wanted me to do for you, bro, and it would absolutely make me so happy to put a smile on your face like that my brother Noah.
Once again, bro, I really appreciate you being here and saying that really nice comment. I love what I do for you guys and it’s people like you in the comments that I received that make me even more eager to do these videos all the time.
Keep in mind I work about 60 hours per week with my other business that has nothing to do with UA-cam so you can imagine how much I work constantly.
I appreciate your support brother Noah.
Cheers Noah and let me know exactly what you meant about doing drives for $$$$.
And welcome to the channel. I really hope I never let you down on this channel and I hope I can provide you really good information and beautiful scenery of Southern California’s. Best vacation spot. I hope you take this UA-cam journey with me until the wheels fall off Noah I am so stoked to have you here.
🤙👍🌟
Hey hey my Jack in the crack and insurance buddy lololol
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 bro you said jack in crack nick bro had shake taco yesterday Nick you know it was 25 cent taco day at jack in crack all day
@@albert.e I told you bro up here. I’ve had such bad experiences at that Jack-in-the-Box it’s giving me food poisoning twice but one of my favorite people in this whole town works there. I love him so much he is such a good guy I know they didn’t do it on purpose but things happen and I got food poisoning two times from Jack-in-the-Box. Sadly, I stay away the other night I came home and my wife had a bag of Jack-in-the-Box and it brought back some scary memories.
Christmas lights
In a mountain town with 4 seasons I refer to it after Christmas as winter lights. Don’t want to offend anyone. People get really offended over nothing. I’m learning to respect even the ones who have nothing better to do than sit around and find something to be a victim and offended about 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 just messing with you. I was first to like so had to get a comment up. PLU.
@@backyardzoo7624 hahahah Backyard Zoo. Hahaha you’re hilarious. So you know exactly where I was going with that comment correct? Thank you for having a sense of humor because I’m someone who will always say merry Christmas when it’s Christmas time and happy Hanukkah and happy Kwanzaa everything I never say happy holidays but that’s just me. I’m not that religious of a person and technically I’m actually Jewish I learned from 23 and me DNA and 48% Ashkenazy Jew. Lololol but I’ve always celebrated Christmas and I won’t let anybody take away my Christmas spirit I’ll tell you that, but unfortunately in California, the Christmas spirit has been under attack for a long long time, so thank you for saying what you said my friend I’m very very honored to have you here. You are a great person and moreover, you’re a great friend to me and the channel.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 appreciate the channel. Hope it continues to grow for you.
@@backyardzoo7624 thank you backyard zoo with people like you there’s no chance that it will not grow. You guys are so supportive and I just appreciate you being here and show me love and respect.
Is all the snow melting? Noooo 😭
Bryan Bryan. Sadly, it is my brother from another mother today got up to 55° it was so nice out today and tomorrow it’s supposed to be about the same thing so a lot of the snow is going to be gone in the next couple days not all of it but a lot of it will be.
Fire rock was a Italian restaurant
Have you ever eaten at Fire Rock Dan? I really hope you try it out sometime they have phenomenal burgers.
I think the owners of Fire Rock and Saucy Mamas is the same person
@@nickpoulos4606 do you know what dude I never never even considered that and that would make sense I guess since they are in the same building right they are attached. I never thought about that but did you know Nick some of the other restaurants in Big Bear multiple restaurants with one owner?
Like the peppercorn grill and Oakside, I believe are owned by the same people
I hope you’re having a good day bro. Thanks for checking out some of these older man. I really appreciate that. It means a lot to me. I’ve put in a lot of time making this channel What it is.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 The Fire Rock was the original location of Saucy Mamas then he moved into the new location the Ice Cream and candy store is also owned by the same guy i met him a few times cant remember his name but i ate there quite often i love that town also did a lot of business with the guy that owns the Music Store
Village Malle used to be a 5 n dime store
No way Dan. Damn thank you for sharing that with me. You guys educate me so much on Big Bear and things that used to be in the past and i never had any idea about it. I can’t thank you enough and I’m really sorry that my wife and I missed you when you were here a couple days ago but we are gonna get a chance to shake your hand bro I know it’s coming.
Leather shops Whiskey Dave’s use to be Chads
I heard Chad’s when it was Chad’s in the village used to be a Hells angels hang out sometime and I love riding my Harley Davidson so I’m really enthralled with that world of 1% ers.
When I moved here, child’s was actually right across from the post office on Pineknot and I sing karaoke there once or twice and then it closed down because I sang so poorly lol
Anyone know if they clear the snow on the Alpine Pedal Path?
That’s a great question. I’ve heard that they actually do but I would hate to say they do and then they don’t. Lol when I drive by it tomorrow I’ll check it out for you.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 thank you!
@@Waiting4Him111 of course waiting my friend. Your amazing in my heart. I’m so amazed how love my you all are.
Where is big bear vaca app?
Where’s the Merch.?
Operation hotshot the only Murch that I have are the beanies. If that’s what you’re referring to. It’s the only Murch I have I’m in the process of paying off my credit cards and I know I would be able to sell product if I actually had it made but I’m trying to be as responsible as I can and get them all paid off and then I promise you I’m gonna start doing some other merchandise. Would you please give me some suggestions of what you would like and what you think other people would like it would mean a lot to me and as I said, I hope you’re referring to my merchandise or I’m gonna feel like a total idiot for my response lolololol 😅😊😊😅
I stayed at the place ,the club before but only paid like 250 a night, it was nice,loved the location the size of the place,but not worth 1100 a night wow,that's a rip off
Mine bro isn’t that absolutely insane. I was gonna surprise my wife for this last storm and I’ve been book it for Sunday and Monday night because those would be two very inexpensive nights compared to the rest of the week and the storm began on Sunday so would be perfect to do my Time-lapse from there also and when I saw the price of over $1000 per night I’m just a couple years ago it was about $200 a night. Some of the rooms were close to $400 but it was $1100 per night and I didn’t include the resort fees or anything.
Mike, I hope you’re having a great night bro
I’m weird too lol
Not as weird as me bro lol thank you Mr. snowboarder it’s great to hear from you today. I hope you’re having a spectacular evening. You just made my night better by being weird like me lol.
Very informative, but I would nix the personal opinion of business owners you've had issues with if your trying sell the town while you're telling us how expensive it is
You know what I agree with you that’s why I kind of walked it back a little bit when I was saying it so you’re absolutely right you have to remember I’m still learning and I’m very emotional so I speak from my heart I just in the type of person who doesn’t care too much for A-holes and would rather see other businesses do well but I guess that could all come back to. That’s just my subjective opinion and maybe other people think that the person is the nicest person in the world, so yeah, I totally get it. I think that’s terrific advice I really do so thank you and I hope you’re having a kick ass day my friend.
@@bigbearweatherandmore6621 We really enjoy your videos. I wish you continued success. I pray your channel goes viral
