What I wouldn’t do to go back in time and see all of those places during the time that Hollywood was so different than it is today. I loved this vlog!
I Agree even the stars ⭐️ have changed don’t make them like used too GodBless
I totally agree with you. To meet the people and how they made a living, while trying to be discovered and become an actor or actress.
u got that right. I would of loved to walk the streets o f old hollywood, and seeing Gable, Bogart, Wayne, McQueen, monroe, harlow etc. etc. live and in person. I would of loved 2 have been at the wp of GWTW in Atlanta 1939. .I could go on , as i hate 2 read long posts.
Thank you, Jordan, for documenting this ever changing, evolving slice of americana. It seems as if we as a culture have devolved and have become degraded. Newer is not always better. California was a beautiful state and a jewel at one time. No more. Very sad.
Completely agree.
It is such a shame so many of those historic buildings have been torn down.
But it is great that so many historic buildings in Hollywood and downtown LA are still intact.
There are actually a few hundred left, if not more. I went to Los Angeles last year and took pictures of a few dozen. They're on Hollywood blvd and downtown Los Angeles on Broadway. I'm sure there's more in other areas of Los Angeles
That’s how they did things in LA. Tear down and rebuild. Bunker Hill was a good example. Lots of old Victorian homes. Razed and modern sky scrapers built.
@@rallypoint1 all those Victorian homes were beginning to rot and the cement city was on its way.
so neat seeing things before they are completely gone and forgotten
Great vlog's Jordan, my girlfriend and I, now wife of thirty years, used to live in an apartment on Sycamore off Hollywood Blvd. down at the west end of the walk of fame. my wife worked at Fredricks of Hollywood as a salesperson, and I worked as a carriager for musicians and bands, moving equipment and setting it up in studios and clubs around LA. We both loved Hollywood, we're originally from San Diego, my work brought me up there so much that I decided to move there in 88', my girlfriend came with me. We loved the nightlife, clubs mostly, but also the great restaurants, we frequented Browns, Snowhite's and Musso and Franks, all as you know on the boulevard. We loved learning about the history of Hollywood from your vlog's, the thing we did not know. We moved back to San Diego in 90', bought a house, got married, had a couple of kids, we do have fond memories of our time in Hollywood, thanks Jordan for the memories.
you had totally awesome experiences -- lucky!
@Mike Kelly Hey Mike, what band were you in and what did or do you play?
@Mike Kelly, I remember Mistreated, great band Mike, we bass players are the best too.
Sir I sure y’all have some great stories an memories
What can I say, your old Hollywood vlogs are my favorites though I enjoy everything you do. We had a great dinner at Musso & Franks last year. Had drinks at The Roosevelt. We also ate at Miceli's which is right around the corner from Hollywood Boulevard, and says it is Hollywood's oldest Italian restaurant and Frank Sinatra's hang out. The original owner's son sat with us for about 10 minutes and told us the history of the place, and said his parents were the ones that taught Lucy how to twirl pizza dough for that famous episode. Yes I was in Hollywood heaven. LOL.
Wowwww!! Very cool Frank!!
@FrankGentile That's awesome, I love Lucy was so great!
So sad to see the beautiful artists home destroyed
Amazing how many lovely buildings are no longer there. Quite sad.
When I was in Hollywood last, I stayed in the ‘Hillside’, now known as the Hudson Hollywood Apartments.
Amazing history.
I would have loved to have seen Hollywood in the 1920's. Thank you so much for the video.
So glad there is still some old Hollywood left! Thanks for the video 🙂💛
Going forward its important to keep in mind a balance of the old and the new. Not about living in the past, but having respect for what came before us. History can teach us so much!
Thanks for "getting me out of the house" today 😁
My stepsister lived in Hollywood for over 40 years as a singer and it wasn't too bad, she put up with some the crazies and the homeless were not as bad as it is now. But what made her moved up north to Grass Valley was seeing the Hollywood that used to be disappear and the trash that you showed walking down the street is what made her say " that's it!"
So sad to see Hollywood as it is now, I hope one day it gets back to way it used to be but only if the local government and community do something about it. Glad you're in better area Jordan and keep up the great vlogs!
It's always cool to see the Chinese Theater ( 4:42) . Mary Poppins debuted there in 1964.
35 years later it tickled me to have a film that I myself worked on "Iron Giant" premier at that same theater in 1999.
It makes me smile every time I see the chinese theater, I think back to that day.
Thanks for the vlog. Always a treat. :)
Great vlog sounds like lots of construction was going on in the mid 1920’s Beautiful buildings.
That was awesome, I enjoyed watching the second installment of this! Can you imagine what old Hollywood must have been like back in the day? Thanks Jordan for showing us around.
I can’t thank you enough Jordan, you show us so many interesting things. Even if we came on vacation, we would never be able to see all that you’ve given us. Nor would we have all the information that you supply with it. We are so grateful! Great job! Also a great shot of Jah!! We never get to see his sweet face!
Dined at Musso and Frank's many times. Some of the stars that were having lunch at the times I was there included Jackie Cooper, Danny Kaye, and Ernest Borgnine. I had to prevent my Mother from pulling a Lucy at our booth. Last current star I saw there was John C Reilly. Thanks for the tour, Great fun!
Valentino. too!
What's pulling a Lucy?
I did this tour in 1966 with my family on vacation. Wow....how different it is today. I feel the same when I go to Las Vegas.....the past is gone!
Hi Jorden, these videos visiting old historic landmarks, so interesting, thank you for taking us along. Take Care Be Safe 🙏
Thank you Jordan. I love anything old Hollywood. Have a wonderful day! 😄
Great flashbacks! I worked in Hollywood for 30+ years and it’s sad to see now that Hollywood has essentially turned into an encampment for the homeless. Sad. I still often eat at Musso & Frank…a classic old Hollywood rest.
Definitely the best vlogger on UA-cam. Always look forward to seeing your new videos and helps me to get through these times we are in with the Corona virus pandemic.
I love this walk around historical Hollywood! Love the pink apt house! And the mansion. Loved the artist Paul DeLongpre house built in 1901. What a beautiful structure! The Pacific Theatre! All the buildings built in the late 19th to early 20th century! Wyatt Earp that's a blast from the past!!!!! The Knickerbocker Hotel is beautifully renovated!!!!
These types of Vlogs are among some of my favorites that you do Jordan! Love the stories, love the history, love the architecture! They’re just so fascinating and enjoyable I had to watch this one and Saturday’s twice already and since Hollywood used to be my haunting grounds also it’s also a great blast to my past!
5:13 That Bank building stands out in the air. The 🚁 use it as a map. Incredible architecture & durability.
At 6743 Hollywood Blvd. was the famous Pickwick Bookshop (operated from 1931 to 1995). It was THE bookstore in town, and later became a very successful California chain. I worked in the Carlsbad and San Diego stores. In the 1970s, the Hollywood Blvd. store was managed by a Mrs. Storm---a wonderful lady whom everyone admired and liked. Her handsome son Michael Storm was the star of the popular TV soap opera "One Life to Live."
I wish I could have lived there back in the day.
Of all the remnants of Old Hollywood that were destroyed, the Ambassador destruction has to be one of the biggest black eyes Hollywood has ever given itself. I remember hearing a description of Gloria Swanson once when she stood in the rubble of an old, demolished New York theatre that premiered her movie "The Loves of Sunya". It said she was "...the last symbol of Babylonian splendor in a now vanished Hollywood". I wonder how many of the people that walk down Hollywood Boulevard have ever heard of or seen a movie of Estelle Taylor, Rod la Roque, Vilma Banky, Dorothy Sebastian (so beautiful), Anita Page, Conrad Nagel, John Gilbert, Corinne Griffith, Claire Windsor... Remember in "Sunset Boulevard", "...they smashed the idols..."
Oh the AWESOMENESS of your Hollywood vlogs! Indeed the AWESOMENESS of ALL your vlogs!!
Thanks for sharing especially for the ones who won’t get to ever see these amazing things 😊👍
Jordan you are the only one that makes my day with a cup of coffee ☕!
Very interesting yet extremely sad to see what's left of old Hollywood. I remember visiting as a kid back in 1963 when it was still quite the place, with actual stars living there and walking the streets. Sorry you have to leave, but totally understandable. How far away will you be moving? Thanks always for your engaging content!
He's not gonna divulge that info ..why I don't really know but his buddy colleague Adam the woo moved to Orlando area near Disneyland n he felt "safe" enough to state that!
This is a great two-part vlog! You definitely know the history of the area! I learned so much from each of your videos that I watch!
Another great one, Jordan. You are the best vlogger on the web! 👄
Glad to see how very much of old Hollywood Blvd is still standing. The period photos are a real treat. Thank you for documenting this on one of your very last days living in Hollywood. The end of an era. But really, you can live almost anywhere to do what you're doing. (And the tent-dwellers has got to be frustrating. I can't believe the city/county lets that go on.)
Enjoyed this vlog as well. My husband & I went to Musso & Frank’s just to have a mixed drink and soak in the atmosphere after seeing a show at the Pantages Theater. Hopefully it will reopen after the pandemic is over so we can enjoy a meal there. There’s so much to see in Hollywood. Too bad you have to be aware of our surroundings due to safety issues. Be safe Jordan. I don’t blame you for moving on to a safer place with the Jahster. Take care and keep sharing your memories with us out here. ❤️🙏🏻
Jordan, thank you for all you do. You are appreciated. Safe travels.
Sad to see how far down the Boulevard has fallen from its' glory days.
Wow, during the pandemic. Just this video alone is now a time capsule! Thank you!
It is so sad that Americans do not try harder to take care of our architectural history. It was so cool to see what is still standing. This vlog was so awesome. If you have ever made a vlog that spends time looking at the prints and signatures in the courtyard of the Chinese theater would you mention the number or how I find it? I always wanted to see those. Thanks for a great two parter!
i agree...was impressed by that de Longpre mansion so i looked it up. it didn't last long at all being demolished in 1927 i guess because the hollywood industry was growing. it said de Longpre bought the lot for 3 of his paintings from hollywood founder daeida wilcox. lol
Thank you for making this Jordan ! I stay in north Hollywood when I vacation , near lankershim. Your channel always rocks! Go jah !
Old Hollywood my favorite everything! Thank you Jordan, very interesting reporting on your part!👍👏👏👏👏
Love the videos. I can't understand why anyone would dislike? Weird! ✌️♥️
What a catchy theme song! Will miss you Jordan the lion🦁
So worth it! Love learning about the old Hollywood!
Jordan, I totally enjoyed this vlog! I've always looked at the architecture designs of the besutiful buildings on Hollywood Blvd.! They put a lot of care, money and art; in those buildings! When Tower Records was closing, I was there buying up baskets of CD's and DVD's, at discounted prices! Love your narration of the history of Hollywood Blvd. and I miss going to the Movies!
My heart (still) breaks for Bunker Hill. Los Angeles had so much character and charm during most of the 20th century.
That was used a lot to make film noires.
I wanna see all those stones in front of the Chinese theater. I love that. So great!!!
Me too!!! A dream of mine to see each and every one 🤩
Those stones are falling apart as you write this.
Jah is the cutest. I love seeing him. Thank you for continuing to do these vlogs and keep us entertained!
Oh I want a Brownie Sundae now! Thank you 🙏 Jordan
I visited CC browns in 1995 while visiting a friend. Wooden booths, black and white autograph photos on the walls. Such rich history....long gone!
I spent my summers at my great grandmother and my grandmother and 2 great aunts house on 6734 Selma Avenue . It was a duplex but was set up multi generational. When I was really little my step grandfather worked at Diamond Jim's restaurant on the Blvd. My great Aunt Jane Sager was a famous trumpeter who taught Herb Albert to play the trumpet and he frequently visited her at the studio on Srlma behind the house. So many memories there and on the BLVD. Sad to see most of it gone. I spent every day wandering around there by myself. It had changed 20 years ago when I was there. Thank you for sharing this
I so much enjoyed this video!!! You are so warm, friendly and informative. I have a son who lives in N Hollywood and I told him to check you out . Thank you for what you do!!!
Amazing Vlog Jordan l love hearing about the history in Hollywood. So happy that you have moved to a new location. I cant wait for the world to open, I can travel now.
Yay PT 2 ! The architecture and stories are so interesting. Document it before it's gone. When Norte Dame burned one of my first thoughts was I'm so glad Jordan vlogged that. Keep up the great work !
Thank you so much! Brings back so many fond memories! I lived in Hollywood in the late ‘70s early ‘80s. I worked as a bank teller at SecurityPacific National Bank which occupied the first floor and basement of the building atHollywood and Highland. I first lived in a studio on Yucca Street behind the building. Later I rented a studio WITH A BALCONY on ElCentro Place, one block east of La Brea Blvd, just south of Franklin Av.
Another great vlog, Jordan!! I love history and It's so great to see some of the historic buildings in Hollywood in this vlog! 😊👍❤✌
I've ben to the juniper hotel many times as it was a speakeasy called No Vacancy but I had no idea it was originally Jane's school! I lived in Hollywood for 7 years and I'm on my way back down and some of these I passed every day without knowing! Great video!
Hi Jah, & Jordan ; ) Thanks so much for doing these Old Hollywood on Hollywood Blvd vlogs! Totally fascinating, they make my imagination go wild! Wishing you all the best on your move~
FANTASTIC Videos Jordon , and DAM , I LOVE your Dog ...........He's a sweetie !
This has been my new favorite channel since that storybook house tour you did. Amazing content!
Thanks for the amazing vlog of Hollywood Blvd.
So glad they've kept a lot of the buildings & have signs with their history. Some of those sites are over 100 hundred years old!
Yes Jah is a great dog!
Thanks so much for posting all of these historic Hollywood buildings. It is just like taking a real tour. I will probably never get to visit California, so I really appreciate all of your knowledge and history of old Hollywood.
I enjoyed this vid. Thank you for taking us along. When I visit new places, walking through and learning the down town history is one of my favorite things. Thanks again!
Part 2 definitely worth the wait. All those historic buildings that were there during the golden age of Hollywood were wonderful. It’s too bad nobody wanted to preserve those buildings instead of tearing them down to put up malls and parking lots. I love old Hollywood history. Thank you for sharing the amazing history of days gone by. Sounds like such a special time in Hollywood history. To be around then. Happy you and Jah have a better home now. Be safe. Appreciate all that you do.
Enjoyed your tour. Enjoy your channel very much. Great job!
Such beautiful buildings. I just wish more still existed there.
I love all your Hollywood tours especially the celebrity homes. You always have a good story to tell and I feel like i can see it all in my mind. That's how good you are with this stuff.
The inside of the Jane's House is very unique. It was one the office of the Hollywood Farmers Market. They were one of my advertising clients
He is a great dog, and I'm a cat person!
Thank you for another great video! I sure enjoy watching your channel.
I also remember the Dolby theater originally being Kodak theater. Great vlog. I kinda wonder if any bankers jumped from the windows of that bank when the market crashed 🤔
I am so glad that I became aware of your Vlogs. They are excellent and I have a lot to catch up on. You touched a special place in my heart with this one. In 1985 I visited Hollywood. My last night I had dinner at the little Snow White Café. Fell in love with the waiter but don't think he knew. Anyway, I figured with all the new building of the Dolby center, and yes it was originally the Kodak, that the little Snow White Cafe would have been demolished. What a thrill when you stopped and told about it's existance. That truly warmed my heart and memories. Thank you for all the new vlogs as I continue to enjoy the old ones.
I saw that theatre in 1996 for real,so fascinating.
Absolutely loved this! I love Old Hollywood history! Thanks for yet another amazing vlog! =)
love the old part , some buildings just seem to live on , great views of them !! and some history
Thank you for another informative vlog! I don't recall seeing those signs the last time I was in Hollywood. I often wondered what many of those buildings were! Now I have something to look forward to next time I'm there!
awesome vlog Old Hollywood beautiful historic buildings, too bad some of these places are gone
You are always worth spending time with. Your personality is sunny and upbeat no matter what. I love your beat on Hollywood and So.Cal. in general Keep on doing what you do because we love it.
Sad to see so many nice buildings and places gone. That's L.A. for ya!
Jordan thank you for showing so much of LA, Since I've moved it is like glimpses of home! Thank you
Jordan, your videos are just great, one never knows what they are going to see when they open up and watch one of your videos. I think it would be a lot better to leave some of these old buildings up rather than tear them down and leave an empty lot or parking space in their stead! Thanks for sharing!
I don't write to people too often because I can't spell or read very well I do enjoy your videos and how you read everything for everyone to know what you're looking at thank you very much for letting us tour Hollywood California with you and thank you for sharing everything sincerely a fan who appreciates everything you do
Thank goodness they haven't destroyed the Chinese Theatre!!
The city should have landmarked everything and preserved the history of Hollywood.
It is so sad to see these ugly modern blocks and shopping centres replacing the beautiful old buildings.
Progress?
I think not!!!
Thank you Jordan for showing us how Hollywood used to look.
I am an Old Hollywood fan and have visited several times. I can never get enough of the Old Hollywood history.
Great vlog.
Well done!!
What an awesome stroll down memory lane! Excelsior!
Knickerbocker Blog was wonderful, Heard many stories of Elvis there from an interview I did with George Klein years back, great to see it live.
Thank you Jordan the Lion , old Hollywood was very interesting.
I lived in Hollywood from 67 to 72 as a teen. Use to go to movies at the Hollywood, Saw Patton at the Warner, Wow, looks run down today. There were to movie houses around Hollywood and Gower one on the north side was called the World and I believe the one you showed was called the Pix in 1967. Don't know if it still there but there was a place on Vive St down by the ABC studio called the Hollywood Ranch Market. It had to say the least a colorful history. Anyway I loved seeing the old neighborhood. Thanks.
Bringing back memories man, I lived at the Madison on Orange, while majoring in music. After 2 years in Hollywood I was so happy to leave, but i cant get over leaving. Such a near a dear place. keep theses videos coming!!
I attended classes at Lee Strasberg on Hollywood Blvd during the 70s. We usually ate at Snow Whites which was a greasy spoon at the time.
Hi Jordan, what a shame the Garden Court Apartments went, I bet they looked so lavish inside. What lovely stone architecture on the Hollywood First National Bank, you don't get nothing like that now on the new faceless buildings of today. The Montmartre Cafe still looks good. WOW!! The Paul Delongpre Home, what a stunning property!! Lovely seeing the Jahster taking it easy. Great vlog Jordan.
Great Pt.2 of Old meets new Hollywood! Thanks Jordan!!!!
Thnx love you all 🐶❤️
Hello Jordan, I really love watching your videos. I spend lots of time in Hollywood. Love all the history. Thank you. It's awesome to know some facts about the historical buildings and about the celebrities that were and still are, some of my favorite actors. Did you recently relocate out of the city? I haven't seen all your videos of late. Happy 2021 Jodan and Jah.👣👣👣🌴🌴👣👣🌊🌊🏄♂️🌊🌊🏄♂️🙂🙋♀️
Thanks for showing us those beautiful buildings. Such interesting information. Another great vlog.
Wish we could travel back into time during those times
Great vlog, my old neighborhood, thanks for sharing
Really enjoyed both blogs of Hollywood. Just amazing history and your story telling is enjoyable. Thanks Jordan. Btw: Where are you moving to? Safe journeys
I enjoyed going to C.C. Browns as a student at H.H.S. in the late 1960s. My late mother also had her ice cream sundaes there in the 1930s. I was very sad when it closed.
