  • Santa Monica Boulevard is a famous street located in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. It starts at Sunset Boulevard in East Hollywood and extends all the way to Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, where it meets the Pacific Ocean. I drive the entire length and continue onto Sunset Boulevard to Downtown LA. Some of the neighborhoods I pass through include Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Silver Lake, and Echo Park.

    Gonna watch this in more than one 'session'. Nostalgia and longing for some good times when I was young.
    Once upon a time I wanted to relocate to L.A. and 1978 into1980 stayed over several times with a friend in the Valley and got a great look around by rides and on foot. Best trip was first. Things were still cheap and laid back enough in the late 70s to fly to S.F. for a weekend (stayed in the Y in the Tenderloin) and few to S.D. to visit college bud. No credit cards, no checking account and not working yet.
    Last visits were at time of Northridge quake and in 2008, stayed in West Hollywood and Hollywood.

    Great video. Does anyone, or you know how does LA traffic compare to years before, 2010, 2015 etc.? I lived there at times between 1996-2008, and there was more traffic. This is interesting, and good news, cause I am thinking of maybe living there for another some months, and see how it goes. Yes, outside the rush hour time frame but still, it's Saturday. I remember till 10PM 405 was a no go, and even the Sepulveda (till 9PM?) was locked. I had to use one of the canyon roads, it was that bad. I guess the rents being about 2.5X has something to do with the less residents, or is it still a parking lot between 4-8PM, Santa Monica to 101? Thank you.

I told my dad today I want to come to Los Angeles he said you should save up money when I do I'm going to come here to Los Angeles. My dad is going to Jamaica tomorrow.

    I love how you take me back to the neighborhood’s I used to live. I lived in Astoria on 30th ave and crescent where you did a video and I saw all my old spots I used to walk and now you drive right by my street when I used to live in West Hollywood on Santa Monica blvd passed La Cienega across from the Gelsons supermarket. I now live in Toronto and you even did a video near me at the Asian pacific mall in Markham last year. If I would have know I would have come by and say hello! Thank you for these wonderful videos I watch all of them!. You are truly appreciated!

      Hi, Yes I used to live across from the hospital in Astoria from 2004-2009 then moved to West Hollywood. You lived at la brea & sunset? I remember always going to the in n out burger there lol. I’m originally from Toronto and circumstances brought me back here but I don’t like Toronto I really want to leave and move back to SoCal. I miss it everyday. Where a are you living? Or are you still in L.A

      @@lg1955 I'm in the Bronx & it's funny we lived in the same places. I used to visit Wendy's more often at La Brea & Sunset. I love their Chili Salad (maybe I've got the name wrong; salad with chili on top). I always think I'm on a diet. After Astoria, I moved over by the Queen's Center Mall, and eventually here to the Bronx. I used to try and get on the Price is Right 2x a month, but never did. For some reason, I didn't like the nightclub scene much. El Polo Loco, ever tried the place in California?

    That is right where I lived in the 90's, during OJ and Earthquakes, floods and fires. We nearly lost the white Highrise building at the beginning of your video there in Santa Monica because of the Northridge quake, when the large pillars in the front of the building were so badly damaged by the up and down motion of the earth. The building was featured in the theme of 'Three is Company'. Also, the famous hospital St Johns, use by Eliabeth Taylor was severely cracked. Santa Monica blvd to the pier is the famous end to route 66.
