"I don't remember bars being on these windows..." BACK TO THE FUTURE! I watched this series in prep to take my kids for a journey on 1/3 of 66. I didn't remember that funny line. I'm now watching and relying on you again cuz we're going back for another third of the road... You're awesome, sir!
Life can be beyond unbearable at times, but people can come into your life and say or do one thing to get you through the moments you can't manage to get through alone. As a survivor and someone who never ceases to stop having ideations of eternal sleep, I am grateful for such people. They can come from anywhere at any time. We are all each other's guardian angels and should strive to treat each other as such. Love to all the survivors and those still struggling. Thanks for bringing up the topic with care and decency.
I can't see the comments under your most recent videos, and I don't know whether you'll read this, but... Justin, your speech at the bridge really helped me today. I've been having a rough time for the past few months, and I've been thinking about doing some horrible things. Today was particularly bad, and I really needed to hear this. Thank you.
15:29 I had an opportunity to march in the Rose Parade in 2020 during my Senior Year of High School. Our band was representing the West of the United States. The Turn onto Colorado blvd was a nightmare to face. It's very hard to get 300 people (The size of the band at the time) to turn at a 90 Degree angle when hundreds of cameras are either recording you or broadcasting you live on TV and the internet. It feels like the whole world was watching us. The Parade is on New Years Day and we have been practicing that turn since July. Good Luck to any of you guys marching the parade next year and years to come! Make it count!
As someone with depression and who used to have suicidal thoughts, I appreciate your openness and agree. Depression in general is seen as a taboo subject, and so easily misunderstood because of that. So many people refuse to accept they have depression, or think there is no help available. Perhaps your openness on the topic will reach someone who's struggling and needed to hear it. If a UA-camr that I looked up to had said such a thing when I was in high school, I might have realized I needed help earlier.
Phantomwise, the highway has been of interest to a significant portion of the American population since it opened 91 years ago, as evidenced by it being the focus of a popular television show, being the subject of a hit song, and being featured in numerous novels, magazine and newspaper articles, websites, and films. Justin Scarred is in no way responsible for making it anymore interesting than it has been for nine decades. If there is something he directly is responsible for as a result of his videos, I would suggest that it is portraying himself as a cocky, irresponsible, inconsiderate jackass. How many times has he referenced the fact that viewers regularly give him gifts, PayPal donations, and even free hotel rooms? Many, many times. It's as if he somehow feels that he is actually doing something any random person could not do, something worthy of actual payment. He waves a camera around in a very unprofessional, nauseating manner and rattles off facts that are easily accessible online. Justin Scarred deserves no accolades. He does deserve to be shamed for aimlessly bloviating far from home instead of caring for his child, for not pursuing a stable source of income, for blowing his money on frivolous things for himself, and for behaving in public in a way that is not becoming of a father.
Cindy Alvarez, let me rephrase it then. I congratulate him for making it interesting /to me/ as I would have never looked it up on my own. I tried to express this in a joking manner. I apologize if it came across as serious. I certainly agree with you that it is interesting in its own right, and not just because Justin covered it. I can't say I agree with the rest of your comment, but I believe that you are entitled to your opinion and you have the right to express it.
Remember the message at the end of _It's a Wonderful Life:_ "No one is a failure who has friends". (I changed the words slightly but the meaning is the same.)
One minute Justin be like... “There is always hope. Here’s the number if you don’t have anyone you can talk to...” Then suddenly... “SQUIRREL!” You’re just a beautiful human Justin. This is why I adore your videos.
I already respect you, but after this video I respect you even more. Thanks for bringing up the subject of suicide. It's quite taboo, and I thank you for being brave enough to broach the subject.
Thank you for such lovely content always...this video meant a lot, I lost my father to suicide. 13 days later my mom passed away from early onset Alzheimers. I turned 30 the day of her funeral. I miss them, suicide is preventable... some signs are so small. Any help is sooooo huge.
110 freeway is for sure the scariest I have been on! Glendora- my home town, I remember when they changed the street name to Route 66 in the late 90's, it was hard to get used to but now I love it! Have fun!
LOVING IT! GREAT STUFF. AND YOU'RE CRACKING ME UP! 60'S CHILDHOOD IN PASADENA AND PARENTS TOOK ROUTE 66 FIRST TIME IN 1959 SO THIS JOURNEY IS FASCINATING...
I've recently discovered your videos Justin. I'm working my way through them all. But I just want to say thank you for covering this issue of suicide. Your words will help people to seek help and support. Means a lot.
Very cool video! I grew up in South Pasadena so those old 'roadside attractions' were just landmarks I remember as a kid! I love your passion for history and how excited you are to share the 'ghosts' of modern civilization. Thank you for taking the time to do the PSA as well
On the old Lincoln in Anaheim, next to the Fox Theatre, was a VanDeKamp's Bakery. When they closed them, they had special sections in grocery stores for their products (pre-packaged the day before). When they opened the restaurants, Tiny Naylor also opened almost identical looking restaurants (round with Windmills)..
Traveled on Rt 66 many times growing up from 1948 to 1967 with my mom and dad. From Chicago to L.A.! Could tell you lots of stories!.... I even lived in a haunted house in Pasadena once.
That Denny’s was a Van DeCamp Restaurant and Bakery. Very famous in L.A. Most of them have been torn down unfortunately. There was one at the corner of Lincoln Blvd and Mindanao in Marina Del Rey. Love your trip and enthusiasm.
Love this video and what you had to say about suicide. It often gets hidden because its a scary topic but thank you for bringing more awareness to it. Helps out those going through it.
hello justin, i am so happy to see more of your interesting route 66 videos, i wish you a wonderful trip! the video was amazing and i really like your sensitive part about the bridge, very well done!
As always #1 Tuber. And yes I have had dinner at the Magic Lamp. It still has that interior of dark lighting and leather chairs. Surprisingly the food was very good. Just remember "The (R) Stand for Adventure. See ya real soon and safe travels. Note to Justin we have met in one of your earlier vlogs...
Lol mate I went in that bathroom at The Gamble House and saw the same brand toilet paper and had exactly the same thought 😂 great minds. So we're only one episode into your massive route 66 road trip and already I can tell this is going to be one of my favourite things you've ever done! So much history, so much information to take in! I love every second of it! In fact the only downside is that you're making me want to get back out on Route 66 myself!!!
"Better get used to these BARS kid" hahaha....just another quote you can use rather than constantly using the "Hey, I don't remember BARS being on these windows". Love the videos, man. Thanks so much for making them!!!
Back in the day, you probably have to be reminded the cars did not go as fast as they do today and waiting at a stop sign was no big deal. Plus the population was not as dense as it is today either. So, that wait was not very long at all. Happy trails Justin!! Stay safe....
Justin, Thank you for your words on suicide and being a part of helping to destigmatize depression and that not only is help available, it is ok to ask for it.
Regarding the saga of Chicken Boy, Future Studio didn't merely "donate their roof." Amy is the one who saved CB and kept him in storage for 20 years until a suitable home was found. She even made a movie in the early 1990s about the fictional life of Chicken Boy.
Just down the street from the Shrimp Boat is Route 66 Self Storage that has old Neon Art Deco design that pays tribute to old locations like "Magic Lamp" At night it looks cool with the Neons on. Also I work there. Lol. Safe travels.
Welcome to Upland, Ca, Justin. My backyard of the Old mother road....Check out the Richfield Gas station on foothill, it just got restored last year....The big Yellow Gas Station....This is where it gets good on 66.....
I'm a suicide survivor and all I did was cut my hand but I stopped after a watched a UA-cam video...these type of people on the internet SAVE MANY LIVES!! thank you so much for being so positive and saving lives
I know it as Suicide Bridge. I attended PCC and had plenty of conversations mentioning this bridge. plenty of people would hear screams or see apparitions when crossing that bridge at night.
You rock brother! Awesome. keep up the good work. This is an awesome job that I am sure will lead you down a very successful path. You would also make a great Mental Health tech, counselor, or RN.
I used to work security at the gold course and walked it every day to and from the metro when the bus would not be there at the time I had to be at work. you can also see the rose bowl from there in day time
In my neck of the woods. Magic lamp. Live 5 mins away. A cool tip, across magic lamp there is a steak house historic place been there since the 1800s, they're is a small bear statue. It is said that spot is where a spanish missionary ran into a GRiZZLy bear in the 1700s. Check it out. Have a safe trip.
Brother, I watch you all the time and had no idea you were in The Scarred. Duuuuh. I was the bassist from the old early 80s DC band Iron Cross. Here’s to old (or older) bands.
Wow, there are still Wienerschnitzel shacks? I haven't seen one since I was a kid! I swear, it's been something like twenty years since the last time I saw one.
I really love your road trips & all the history you bring into all of the videos you do on your trips! Thanks for sharing & doing these trips! It is really great to see someone your age that has so much interest & respect for our past! Take care Justin & safe travels !
Wow, Justin... You've really been doing your research on Route 66! Very informative and entertaining. And most of all, thank you for your continued dedication to lifting people up that are hurting and boosting positivity in general. The world needs a lot more people like you that just try to do their part to help instead of spreading hate and causing more pain.
Living in Burbank and driving through Pasadena quite often, I've driven a lot of these roads. Thank you for helping me appreciate them in a new light. :) Also, I love that you stopped by the Aztec Hotel! That was the inspiration for an animated show released last year that I was a storyboard artist on, called Tarantula. Give it a watch! The first two episodes are here on UA-cam - ua-cam.com/video/ZlbzmciRBUc/v-deo.html

As a suicide attempt survivor - thanks for the uplifting message. Quest for Positivity always. Love & Respect your way.
David Burse Glad you stuck with us David

Thank you for bringing awareness to suicide...I know you have been a light for many people who thought it had gone out completely.
Weirdest and smallest off ramps, on ramps ever! Scary stuff
You made a freeway interesting. I feel you should be congratulated for this achievement.

The bridge is purportedly haunted too, which isn't surprising really.
Justin in true British fashion your videos are bloody brilliant!!!! Helps me through tough times, truly mean it
Remember the message at the end of _It's a Wonderful Life:_ "No one is a failure who has friends".
(I changed the words slightly but the meaning is the same.)
"You know suicide isn't painless
When you leave everyone in pain "
One minute Justin be like...
“There is always hope. Here’s the number if you don’t have anyone you can talk to...”
Then suddenly...
“SQUIRREL!”
You’re just a beautiful human Justin. This is why I adore your videos.
I already respect you, but after this video I respect you even more. Thanks for bringing up the subject of suicide. It's quite taboo, and I thank you for being brave enough to broach the subject.
Great job, Justin! Can tell you know your Route 66 history well and your videos are never boring, always entertaining! Thanks!
Thank you for such lovely content always...this video meant a lot,
I lost my father to suicide.
13 days later my mom passed away from early onset Alzheimers.
I turned 30 the day of her funeral.
I miss them,
suicide is preventable...
some signs are so small.
Any help is sooooo huge.
Shannon Oconnell I'm so sorry for your catastrophic loss. Much love to you.
triggerhare your kind words mean so much.
When I dream of them I know they are not far away *:)
110 freeway is for sure the scariest I have been on! Glendora- my home town, I remember when they changed the street name to Route 66 in the late 90's, it was hard to get used to but now I love it! Have fun!
LOVING IT! GREAT STUFF. AND YOU'RE CRACKING ME UP! 60'S CHILDHOOD IN PASADENA AND PARENTS TOOK ROUTE 66 FIRST TIME IN 1959 SO THIS JOURNEY IS FASCINATING...

But I just want to say thank you for covering this issue of suicide. Your words will help people to seek help and support. Means a lot.
Thank you for your knowledge Justin! You're truest and inspiration.
Thanks for the inspiring chat! Can't wait to watch the rest of your adventures on Route 66.

this was bad to the bone!!!! i always wondered about route 66 threw LA... Very Cool!!!!
On the old Lincoln in Anaheim, next to the Fox Theatre, was a VanDeKamp's Bakery. When they closed them, they had special sections in grocery stores for their products (pre-packaged the day before).

I suffer with anxiety really bad and I enjoyed your words so much it help me a great deal thanks justin and keep the great vids coming
Thanks for sharing your travels. Always love seeing the roadside oddities and landmarks.
Great coverage of the bridge Justin. I'd like to see you do a take on the old 60's and 70's architecture in west Palm Springs. So nostalgic.
Traveled on Rt 66 many times growing up from 1948 to 1967 with my mom and dad. From Chicago to L.A.! Could tell you lots of stories!.... I even lived in a haunted house in Pasadena once.
I love the addition of the randomland route 66 sign in the outro!
your enthusiasm in infectious, sir! great videos as always
We recently discovered your videos while researching for our holiday. We love watching them and you really make us laugh. 😂👏🏻
Justin great vlog very historical thanks for being out there I really enjoyed it and look forward to more on Route 66.
Wow. Those are some really great and kind words. You brought up a serious topic in a wonderful and caring way. So cool.
Love the history on the Arroyo Secco Parkway. Never knew that about that stretch of the 110
That Denny’s was a Van DeCamp Restaurant and Bakery. Very famous in L.A. Most of them have been torn down unfortunately. There was one at the corner of Lincoln Blvd and Mindanao in Marina Del Rey. Love your trip and enthusiasm.
I've binged watched so many of your videos that now only your videos are recommend. Guess it's time to binge watch more.
Love this video and what you had to say about suicide. It often gets hidden because its a scary topic but thank you for bringing more awareness to it. Helps out those going through it.

For a split second on the bridge at 11:48 .... is that a love lock?! Like in Paris? ☺
"Better get used to these BARS kid" hahaha....just another quote you can use rather than constantly using the "Hey, I don't remember BARS being on these windows". Love the videos, man. Thanks so much for making them!!!
Thank you so much, Justin.
I really needed this video today...thanks Justin.
I love these videos. You really do your homework and make them very informative.

'Their weird last name' haha great, welcome to Holland :) Love from the Netherlands and safe travels Justin!
Back in the day, you probably have to be reminded the cars did not go as fast as they do today and waiting at a stop sign was no big deal. Plus the population was not as dense as it is today either. So, that wait was not very long at all. Happy trails Justin!! Stay safe....
You are cracking me UP!
I'm thankful for your distractions.
I super love googie Architecure!!! I gotta see that place. Thanks Justin!

Love the drone shot enhancement. Keep it up
I LOVE THESE 66 VIDEOS!! I wanna do it some day so bad!!
The bridge is indeed lovely thank you
You were literally right across the street of the apartments I grew up in Glendora... crazy
Justin, Thank you for your words on suicide and being a part of helping to destigmatize depression and that not only is help available, it is ok to ask for it.

Cool video :) The Aztec Hotel looks really neat :)
you're in my neck of the woods, Rancho Cucamonga, that Magic Lamp is cool at night, great spaghetti at Vinces right next door
you should have stopped at Friar Tucks on Foothill aka rt 66 in Pomona - it looks like a castle!
Love the video! Have a safe trip!
The original shrimp house? They have those in Gulf Shores Alabama. I love that place.
Very kind vlog, Justin.
You rock brother! Awesome. keep up the good work. This is an awesome job that I am sure will lead you down a very successful path. You would also make a great Mental Health tech, counselor, or RN.
love your travel videos
I used to work security at the gold course and walked it every day to and from the metro when the bus would not be there at the time I had to be at work. you can also see the rose bowl from there in day time
I miss Van De Kamps sugar cookies. Always got them from the Big T market next door to Peter Pan Motel on Harbor.
love your videos Justin!
Such a great video! Keep up the good work. :-)
Woo hoo you were in my hood!! Glendora ca!! I love going to club house 66!!
You drove through my town!! Rancho Cucamonga!
Woah i've been to that dennys before and had no idea!! Nice to know 😁
In my neck of the woods. Magic lamp. Live 5 mins away. A cool tip, across magic lamp there is a steak house historic place been there since the 1800s, they're is a small bear statue.

Justin you blow me away, and are amazing
Thank you for this!
I love you Justin !
I pass by that magic lamp place all the time!
Well said Justin!
Ketchup (catch up) & mustard with ya.... 😂
Can't you see one of the old exterior shots of 'Stately Wayne Manor' from that bridge from the Adam West days?
I'm looking forward to these videos!
SQUIRREL!! I really need to watch The Founder movie. The Magic Lamp inn look cool.
Brother, I watch you all the time and had no idea you were in The Scarred. Duuuuh. I was the bassist from the old early 80s DC band Iron Cross. Here’s to old (or older) bands.
I live in LA Verne and I go down route 66 every day with my parents and grandma.
Wow, there are still Wienerschnitzel shacks? I haven't seen one since I was a kid! I swear, it's been something like twenty years since the last time I saw one.
I really love your road trips & all the history you bring into all of the videos you do on your trips! Thanks for sharing & doing these trips! It is really great to see someone your age that has so much interest & respect for our past! Take care Justin & safe travels !
I read that a construction worker fell to his death into the wet cement below the bridge, and that he is still there to this day.
I've only heard of the Suicide Bridge one other time, and that was when Shane Dawson brought an Ouija board there
Wow, Justin... You've really been doing your research on Route 66! Very informative and entertaining. And most of all, thank you for your continued dedication to lifting people up that are hurting and boosting positivity in general. The world needs a lot more people like you that just try to do their part to help instead of spreading hate and causing more pain.
Justin, you might begin with numbering these R66 episodes for better mass viewing in the future.
Living in Burbank and driving through Pasadena quite often, I've driven a lot of these roads. Thank you for helping me appreciate them in a new light. :)
Also, I love that you stopped by the Aztec Hotel! That was the inspiration for an animated show released last year that I was a storyboard artist on, called Tarantula. Give it a watch! The first two episodes are here on UA-cam - ua-cam.com/video/ZlbzmciRBUc/v-deo.html
Great videos
a lovely speech.
