Your videos are so amazing. Please don`t stop making them!
Miss you and these videos, Tom.
working on something special, I swear!
Worse place to grow up. You let go of the ball, might as well say goodbye.
lolz
WoW!! How cool is that!?!?
Thanks!
Why don't you release more videos more often
That's near Aldama elementary I went there as a kid. I used to live on Ave 52 and Montezuma St. Me and my friends went down that hill on our bikes, yes we all ate it hard. LOL
Im seriously enjoying all your videos.
Love the dog!
Incredible. Man, just discovered your channel. Been to LA twice in the past years and woul really love to live there. fell in love. Thx for these video's, now I have something to do till our next trip! Kind regards, keep doing what you do!
Drove my 64 Falcon up the street and I felt like I was going to flip over....never again.
And, imagine the types of cars they had to drive up that street for the first 75 years or so.
Fantastic show Tom. My only visit to LA brought me up Whitley (?) --I was driving. Traumatized me.
Finally. Someone with the right info. Thank you for the video. :)
I really miss his videos.
Thanks for posting! Educational. We lived in San Francisco and those hills were scary when driving a stick shift!
wow thats crazy!
Someone just rode down this street on a skateboard. Unbelievable.
I must have been tempted to drive up the street six times. Every single time I chickened out. What makes it so tough and it's a dead-end you have to get up there and carefully turn around and come back down the other streets like Baxter are easy cuz you just drive up one side and down the other
I drove up it about 2 years ago and panicked at the top... I didn’t put my car in reverse or neutral and just let the car roll back while in drive! My car was smoking when I got to the bottom hahaha. Never again 😭
Waipio Rd on the Big Island of Hawaii has a paved, sustained, drivable road at 45 degrees. Steepest street in the US
Great videos! More please!!!
I just experienced this by accident yesterday.
this 3rd generation Angelino appreciates your love for this city,Tom. Good job.. Kinda curious to what part of Los Angeles you grew up in,Tom.Keep up the great work
amazing channel man!
This is the second steepest street in the US and third in the world. :)
Really?
boy, if you trip, it’s a long way down.
I've seen 5 of these videos and every time you say "hi, I'm tom" I freaking cry in laughter because of fifty first dates
The thing about this street is that it gets steeper as you go up more and more. There were some people that even say the last part is a 33.3%
Turdy-tree and a.....TURD? THAT is steeeeep!
Morrissey
Jacked a toyota turning around at the end of that street. Seriously steep. A must do. In a rental.
Never knew this. I'm going to make a point to jog up that street.
When I lived there it was my weekly routine. You got too!
@@MsRosalyn3 Actually someone dared me to ride my unicycle up Fargo St in Elysian Heights. That's nearby, too. I will do both and then hit the night market.
Great vids Tom! You're like Huell Howser the 2nd. ;)
If you want to see some really steep streets, come to Hawaii. We have the no. 1 steepest road in the U.S. (37% grade).
DoubleMrE agreed! How do we contact you?
canton avenue 37% in Pittsburgh :)
I heard Waipio Rd is 45 degrees. I’ve walked it many times to the base of Waipio Valley
I would live here
what about Baxter?!
Marisa Persson 32% as well. And shorter than Fargo. it's a good one for cycling though ;). And way more accessible.
I was hoping you would stay to see the tiny trash truck. Oh well...
Will that dog attack me if I make the trek up the street?
I don't know jack of how to grade a steep street but there is a steep as hill over in Signal Hill CA. So steep my car struggles
A 6% grade means it drops 6 feet in elevation for every 100 feet in length.
And as a Long Beach native, yes, Hill street in signal hill. Was steeper before they graded it out about 15 years ago.
wow,look at all the people walking by, locally owned stores, the grocery, doctors office, the church, the cinema, the hardware store, bars, restaurants, kids playing stick ball, the bakery, the neighborhood mechanic, etc. now this is a self sufficient neighbor hood, lol
Truth be told
Hey Tom how I can contact you ?
need to visit LA and sled down the street on a garbage can lid or something
Huell Howser cloned!
In the early to mid 20th century you still had self sufficient walking distance neighborhoods. today Los Angeles is so horizontal, you got to drive like 30 miles to get your groceries, 40 miles to your doctor, and so on and so forth. Tom, i bet each area you explore you have to drive from 10 to 95 miles to take us on a tour. LA is aweful, the penultimate example of sprawal and dependency on the car. cities and towns should be dense, with walking distance everything you need. the national highway defense act has ruined life for we humans for the sake of the road and car lobby. i'd rather walk Manhatten because its physcially possible to do it. all these venues whether interesting unappreciated civil engineering or historical or entertainment venues are so spread out you must use a care to get to these various places in LA
