Just 24 hours later, I went back to downtown Los Angeles where the fire happened close to skid row. I wanted to see the aftermath of the huge fire the day before. I was totally shocked how everything was destroyed. It was worse than I thought. the whole roof collapsed, and other businesses were ruined as well. Devastating. - Розваги

I like your videos, i live in Skid Row in an SRO Hotel, I sometimes see you drive past my place 😄 I have lived in Downtown 23 years, let me know if you want to get a tour from a skid Row OG.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that a derelict started a dumpster fire. Although it might have been O'Leary's cow.
I'm going with O'learys cow. She's a clumsy cow.
Best comment of the week.
derelict is too kind…it was a bum
Insurance fire
Mike: Thanks for the tour, I like you still photos, great shots.
It's not just a picture, it is art..and inspiration to creativity.. i can relate Mike!
GIV, keep showing us these videos,, YOU ROCK!!
Thanks for sharing your awesome blog.
Stay safe Mike, thanks for the video xoxo from Canada!
Street photographer’s paradise indeed Mike. Thanks for the video!
Michael, you must get a lot of comments from people saying, why do you like this why do you like that? The thing is, you have a fine eye for the things YOU appreciate, find interesting or find artistic. When you point out a lot of things in your videos, I’m like, yes, yes, I like that too, or isn’t that interesting, you happen to have a unique perspective, and that’s what’s wonderful about you.
You point out things many may not see at first, it takes you to do that! I appreciate that, that’s why I continue to watch your videos (plus the humor you throw in). You keep being you…and I hope you don’t mind, I took a screen shot of the fireman with the truck and the palm trees, because you see, you have vision. You’re gifted to be able to make such observations. Take care!
Enjoy your videos, your humor and the way you speak 😊👍
I enjoy looking at things through your eyes. Great video, as usual!
Street Graffiti is truly unique! Thanks sharing your day with us in Downtown, LA, CA🤗👍👌
What is so neat about it it's grotesque
@@White_Snake69 So is much of Picasso’s work. And most all of Salvador Dali. And the paintings of Francis Bacon.
You are living in a cotton-candy cloud. Or maybe you just feel like putting people down. I don’t know you and can’t tell.. But I can tell non-truth.
Thank you for returning to show the destruction in day light. Fire has no mercy and will cost thousand to replace the structures and content. Many live are effected economically. This is the third fabric place in LA county to be destroyed by fire this year. Thanks GIV!
Don't need to explain yourself. Thanks for what you do, we are here for the 'behind the scenes' stuff. Thanks for doing what you do. stay safe, and keep on!
He does have a good eye. The still captures he took are excellent. I'm an artist/photographer myself.
Also I'm an LA native. I like GIV. I really do.
he has to speak so we know hes a german in venice
Another great video, Have a great night GIV
You've taken very good footage of what happened. Last night and the morning after. As an LA native, I thank you for appreciating what you see, for better or worse. You have a winning personality and I like you.
Please do be careful though.
I really enjoy your videos GIV! 😊
Thank you for sharing I like your pictures it is so cool to see things some people don't but it's interesting stuff 😀
I was in the mood for some L.A your voice is calm and relaxing
LA, the land of endless dreams and possibilities… Only for GIV!!!
Thanks for another great and REAL video Mike!
You said exactly 24 hours later but I think you meant 12 hours later it was still smoldering THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!
love your view on things. everything kinda looks like a bit of a lost place, one of a kind. Thank you for sharing your views!
I saw the fire from someone living across the Cecil Hotel. It was REALLY big. How can people complain that firefighters fight fires? That's why they are here for. 😄
husband speaking age 80, your pictures today are tomorrow's history of what LA was like.
Thanks for the update GIV Great shots. I like your 👁.
Imagine Skid Row back in the day when it was all new buildings, and people actually using those old loading docks and stuff...
Was that in the 70s or 80s?
@@inthendwealldie 30s and 40s probably..
Mike, your creative eyes are different from someone who doesn’t have that. Most people don’t in fact. They can’t see or imagine. So they will see the world differently from you. You see special things among the “junk”. “Diamonds in the dirt”. And that’s great. Don’t listen to those who criticize. They are from a different group of people. Keep creating! Always.
so many great videos lately, thanks GIV!
You do you GIV. People who dont understand never will. You have an eye bro, dont ever change.
Thanks for showing us all sides of LA, Mike.
Like you, I am fascinated by the things that capture moments. I'm absolutely amazed at the talent of the people that can create some of those stunning, painted images. I can't draw a straight stick figure 😂 so I take in and appreciate the art that seems to come so easily to others. Yep...also love things like the firetrucks and hydrants you took pics of. Life is pretty incredibly. It's wonderful to grab those few moments we can to take in our varied surroundings.
Thanks so much for taking us to this fire scene...both during and the aftermath. Enjoy the rest of your weekend 🥰
Those taggers.really tag that alley nice art work I enjoy.your videos at night you should bring another friend its not good to walk along in downtown Los Angeles
It did look different from last night - thanks for taking us back! ❤️✌🏻
This is why I love this channel, as the GIV , shows us all aspects, and includes historic buildings, communities etc.. Artwork, Cars, history, memoribilia etc.. GIV is the VIP ! Cheers from Norway with some dna from Schleswig-Holstein.
Absolutely Sensational Video great reporting G I V
I enjoy what you choose to photo. Those that don't get it, - why do they complain?
Thanks for the follow up
I enjoy GiV's sensibility - he is documenting the current museum of the human condition. Good work!
Good way to put jt
Thank you for posting. :) Ivan
Thank you for going to DTLA & showing these images. I wouldn’t have seen them without you. I do love the pictures & I also see the art in them. I love DTLA & CA & I appreciate what you do. 🫶🏼❤️
Be safe always and Stay blessed🙏🌼🌻
Get some rest, Mate, you did great ✔👍
I can understand why you take these photos. They capture the atmosphere, the moment in time that one day will no longer be there. It's history in the making. An art firm. Keep taking them for future generations Mike.
You do you. If they want to follow, they will. I love going on a walk with you. Thank you for all you do. And hope you Mom is doing well.
You just keep doing what you do GIV. I love your stuff.
Thanks to our First Responders...what would we do without them.
Your doing great!😊
I totally understand why you feel the way you do about taking picture. I’m the same way. All the beauty there is. Such beauty in it all. You’re right, some people just don’t understand. Keep up the amazing work. Pack on the views because you deserve it. ❤️
Sad, I hate fires. I really enjoy your videos G.I.V. Your channel is one of my favorites; I watch it all the time. Thanks for all your cool videos!
It would be interesting to see if the city clean up the mess properly ,or just leave it . Seeing as the rest of the surrounding areas look like a bombs hit it.
They'll most likely leave it to get worse.
It's awesome getting some info on skid row here in Australia. Cheers German 🎉
This is exciting! (But I hope no one is hurt).
Great episode Mike. I love looking at cool, old, funky, derelict places and things as well.
Danke schön
Please do not give the negative, whiny comments any attention. You are perfect. So many of us are not able to go where you have gone for various reasons. That they have time to stop and spew negativity, it just shows how unhappy they are in their own lives
I hope the owners of these factories will build back better and stronger with the insurance money. I can’t believe some of those plants from that mini garden are still alive - would be a wonderful sign of hope to take those living plants and replant them wherever these businesses move to (maybe they’d need to be temporarily housed somewhere else until then).
Or maybe you could go rescue those plants and give them to the LAFD units who risked their own lives to put inside their firehouses as a symbol of new life growing from the ashes. You could buy new planters and decorate them with your own spin. I bet LAFD would be very moved by such a gesture and would love to decorate the firehouse with some plants they saved.
Tanks for the real pictures from Los Angeles, greetings from Munich Germany 😎👍
Thanks for the update. Stay safe out there. I’ll be in LA in a week hope to run in to ya!!!
Mike, your local news coverage of the LA area and the detail you go into to get the real story behind the story is second to none! You have those "Action 5" news channels beat by a mile!
Wow. I walked the dog and my internet was down. Watching now.
I understand and your job is to film stuff to get views!!! If people don’t like your videos they can simply not watch. You have so many fans who do enjoy your content, keep up the great work! Loved seeing the flower district. I live in the Valley and don’t get downtown as often as I’d like. Lot of history! Thanks for updating us about everything after the fire.
Thanks for the update!
👍 Thanks for taking me along it was fun.
Listen to your gut , it never lies. You do what you enjoy doing, do not worry about what anybody says. This is your thing we are all different in what we like and do. I enjoy your content, and I think your collection is awesome. I like old things. There use to be a show on TV called salvage, I loved it. It was about these men that would salvage anything they could find and make something really unusual. So keep on doing what you like 👍.
You film whatever you want = it's nobody else's business. Your videos are so interesting and entertaining.
💯 💯 💯
German in Venice loves to take a walk on the wild side of L.A.. Great videos man.
WOW Fire 🔥 was bigger than I thought... THE ROOF THE ROOF THE ROOF IS ON FIRE... Sing.. so sad to see all the destruction. I love when you take pics and the Enhanced ones appear right afterwards.. So very Cool Mike :D I love the Graffiti and all the artwork too. You have a great eye to capture it all. Danke
Thanks for the update
Good follow up. Thankyou.
I lived in La Mesa from 1965 to about 74,,,,,,,,,,it was Beautiful back then. We would ride the bus from La Mesa and go to San Diego Zoo,,,,down to the Beach. It is a Different world from then to today,,i walked to school,,,,,,walked to the movie theater,,,,35 cents to see a movie back then,,,i saw Big Jake,,,O mega Man,,,,,,,,,,Night of the living Dead,,,that scared the crap out of me and my sister,,,, Chatos Land ,,,,, all the Love Bug Movies ,,,,,,,,,,,sad to see it destroyed
Mike... Thanx for reporting... You are doing what local news should be doing. Thank you for the video
I wish my dad was still here to shove Mike’s videos from yesterday and today. He volunteered from the miid 70’s and into the 80’s at Harbor Lights on skid row (now closed) and he headed a project to upgrade a women’s residential rehab center, an old masonry building, to meet current earthquake code. Time has certainly marched on…it was an apocalyptic scene on these familiar streets.
I love your videos Mike. These are the parts of America that is the most interesting. Thanks mate. Keep them coming.. cheers from Australia, the land of Oz 😊😊
Thank you for thw update mr giv 👍
Thanks for the recap, i love your perspective with the GIV on the scene, better than the news, Be Safe and looking forward to the next video !
GIV you always show everything so we can decide for ourselves what we think happened. I would make a quest that a homeless person started the fire. I feel for the shop owners that are trying to make a living. Your insurance rates must be through the roof. I wish the people of LA all the best in getting things changed for the good of LA.
Mayor Bass will spend millions and increase the homeless population. Yet it's not her money. Burn baby burn. Put them in the Newsome mansion we pay for that too.
No its porb the shop ppl arter insurance $
The homeless need housing and medical health services, that's how it gets fixed.
You like it because it tells a story. You have a good eye!
Los Angeles is like an open air post apocalyptic movie set.
Stupid people and democrats have destroy Los Angeles and California
Thanks
Thank you very much for your generous donation. I really appreciate it. Have a great weekend.
Wow I can’t remember the last time I’ve set foot in DTLA.
Thank you for these videos always! I grow evermore appreciative of the basic amenities and day to day opportunities that arise in my life!
No words for this kind of destruction 😢. So many people in our world have mental issues, not surprised at all, just very sad. Stay safe, Mike, and finally take some rest. ❤
It really is sad; those pharmaceutical drugs can really damage you permanently. Though, I strongly suspect assisting them off whatever they're addicted in combination with optimal nutrition will really reverse that perceivably irreversible damage.
@@MOVIE1MAN1
This sounds good 👍, but the reality is: once addicted, just a few folks can find a way out of this dilemma. Just thinking, for how long is this problem is going on? If brain cells are damaged, there is no way back to normality. And quite frankly spoken: Who in our society really cares? It is all about "money making", unfortunately!
@@user-rx4gi2mh7h Unfortunate, I wish I could help assist every single one of these people. First and foremost they must find within themselves the very possibility of something better before that can happen. Coming from someone who is currently recovering from addiction, the only solution for me is by bettering my personal relationship with my creator. I hope and pray these people get to experience the same opportunities I have!
Thank you for keeping us entertained and informed GiV 🙂
GIV, could be German In VEGAS! We'd love to have you here! ❤
Soon
Why not🤷🏻♀️ it’s not that far away 😉🥰👍🏽🌴🌊🌵🌵🌵
Or San Francisco
So much worse in the light of day. Hope they have insurance. thank for sharing. 👍👍
Thank You Mike, you are so talented ! Love the videos.
