Every time I am in Hollywood and Beverly Hills I have an overwhelming feeling that I am wandering around "a museum of past glamour and excitement". As a person in my early 60's virtually everyone that I admired as a "star" entertainer is now gone. I was so fortunate to have seen many of them in person (Elvis, Dean Martin, Johnny Carson, Ernest Borgnine, Bob Hope, etc etc). Now when I return to SoCal its for the weather, Disneyland, the architecture, physical beauty, and the memories. So with that in mind - a sincere thank you Jordan for keeping the memories alive!
@@Jay-vr9ir I DO! It was the original "El Capitan theater that was used by Ralph Edwards for "This Is Your Life" and "Truth or Consequences" until that show moved to NBC on Sunset and Vine (demolished in 1964 for a bank building) - later ABC bought the place and used it for the "Hollywood Palace" shows and in 1975-76, Lawrence Welk did his taping there, until the building was sold. It is one of the landmarks still there, with the Capital Records kata-corner across the street and the Knickerbocker Hotel (now a retirement home) behind it.
@@nyc783 I remember Adam West as Batman pulling up , on The Hollywood Palace and then Merv Griffin used the building for The Merv Griffin Show in the early seventies . I am a tv and location fan , I found the hotel from I love Lucy THE AVALON , in Hollywood at last . I found the beach from the closing of Ski Party, it is at The Annenberg Club and so many more .
@@Jay-vr9ir I attended the Merv Griffith Show numerous times from 1977-1982. At that time, his shows were taped at the TAV Celebrity Theater, which were the original ABC studios. When ABC relocated to Prospect, the building was used for a bowling alley. Merv bought it in the 70's and turned it into the TAV Celebrity Theater. When his shows stopped, and/or the building was sold, an arson set it on fire. The Brown Derby on Vine as well as Howard Johnsons on Hollywood & Vine (the old Howdy's) was also set on fire. The original Brown Derby was demolished, a shopping center built with a facsimile of the Brown Derby Hat on the third floor outdoor balcony. The Ambassador Hotel and Coconut Grove are gone - most business disappeared to do an unsafe neighborhood.
The Roosevelt is one place where I've felt the ghosts of Hollywood still lingering. Everything from the architecture to the various bars that inhabit the place (w mini bowling alley) to the stlish patio around the pool (the pattern on the bottom of that pool was created by David Hockney). It has a great history and I hope that the careful treatment of that legacy continues on.
Enjoyed this trip down memory lane so to speak.Old Hollywood really must have been grand back in the day. Looking forward to part two on Monday! Such a shame that Hollywood has become such a dump.
It's good to see that those landmarks haven't changed very much . I'm really surprised that there's no sign for the Pantages theater because you see it very often in photos and film clips from old Hollywood . That was a great vlog Jordan , keep up the great work and be safe. Btw good luck with your move . Looking forward to Part 2
LOVE LOVE LOVE the history of old Hollywood! I must’ve lived one of my previous lives in old Hollywood...lol...I bet it was an amazingly beautiful place back in its day. Thank you Jordan for this Hollywood history lesson❣️
Hi Jordan, I liked the Henry Fonda Theatre with the lovely 1920's photo of the lady and the classic old car. I do love that mural of the old Hollywood stars at the cinema. My favourite is the Max factor building, all the great old Hollywood stars that have passed through those doors, I bet they are turning in their graves at the way Hollywood looks today. Great vlog Jordan.
You had a rough day, please stay safe my friend. I appreciate all your hard work!Thank You for share the history of Hollywood and so many other thinks. Hope your move go’s smoothly
Jordan, this is my first time commenting and I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your vlogs! Like you, I enjoy building architecture and you showed so many beautiful building styles and, of coarse, I loved all the Hollywood history to go along with it! Thank you again for all your hard work in making all these wonderful vlogs!
This was really cool to see. Thanks for this first part of old Hollywood Blvd. I was taken aback by the contrast of the large amount of trash on your street as compared to the cleanliness of Hollywood Blvd where tourists walk. It's tragic.
That's so cool that they have the signs telling you what was once there !! I wish I lived back in those days and could have seen old Hollywood in person . Thanks to you Jordan we get a little taste of that . Thank you for sharing this video with us !! I can't wait for the 2nd part . I remember watching a video on RUclips not long ago and it was Lucille Ball on a talk show . She was telling a story about her and some other people she worked with buried a time capsule at one of the buildings where they worked at . She said , unfortunately they tore the building down and they never got the chance to open it . I would love to see what all they put in their time capsule today wouldn't you ?!! 😮😀😊👍
Thanks Jordan. Cool seeing old Hollywood. I wondered if you would show that lady. I knew she was not happy....so sad. Thanks for the vlog, looking forward to part 2.
Wow. That's a great time capsule coverage. It takes me back to the 80's and 90's when I lived in Hollywood. I loved the history, but never knew that much- the plaques have been put up since. Looking forward to part 2.
Was married at The Roosevelt in 1997-the same night Kirk Douglas was receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award--our venue was upstairs, our guests stole glimpses of many stars that night--got to stay in the Marilyn Monroe room that night.... fond memories....
Wow! In the late eighties I worked just off of Hollywood Blvd on Hudson Street. I worked as a Computer Operator for Fredericks of Hollywood. I was 23 years old. WTH happened to Fredericks?? So sad.. Thanks for filming Jordan! :)
Mega years ago, I visited Hollywood,, long before the Internet was invented. I wish you had been there then to be my tour guide. I found much of LA a disappointment, then, and only opted for a strudio tour, to take the bad taste out of my mouth. Yet, I'm sad to see homeless on this blvd now, and trash plus graffiti.
I've done a bus tour around Hollywood, i expected it to be glamerous and glitzy, what it looked like was a dirty, sleezy and to be honest grimy looking place what's sad is all that history you just told Jordan is soo interesting, some of the buildings could be looked after soo much better to go along with the history thankyou loved listening Jordan x
We held our own “awards” ceremony honoring Drs and government officials that donated their time, fund raising efforts and scientific work done towards the American Heart Assn. at the Rosevelt Hotel, the Biltmore Hotel and Century Plaza Hotel. We also had employee appreciation parties at Paramount Studios a couple of times. It was very nostalgic walking into those hotels and studios full of so much Hollywood history behind them. Thanks Jordan for filling in the details of all of these landmarks that we might have never known about other than passing through the streets in our cars and fighting traffic. ❤️🙏🏻
I love Hollywood and stores of old Hollywood, me and my daughter stayed in the Roosevelt Hotel there in 1992 that was old Hollywood with a capital H i loved that hotel such history i hope to go back one day fingers crossed thanks for the blog ,,,,, all the best from the UK
Hello from England.Just wanted to say how much we love your show and we never miss a vlog.We stayed in Hollywood 3 years ago and had an amazing experience.We stayed at Best Western Hollywood Hills on Franklin Avenue.Keep up the great work Jordan. .Hope you can give your English fans a shout out on your next flog? Best of luck from Ian,Donna and Callum from Manchester England x
Glad to see you're settling in to your new home. Best of luck with the move. I thoroughly enjoy your vlogs and enjoy Jah as well. In looking for something a little mindless to escape the news for a while, I watched "Them" with James Arness. I tried looking to see if you ever did anything on it, it's locations, or Jim Arness. I didn't see it on your channel.
Thank you for this. I think I told you once that I visited there and did not know about the Roosevelt Hotel but saw it from a distance. I just had to go in. I did not know the rich history of the hotel until I came back to Mississippi and studied it. I could just feel that place...it was gorgeous. Maybe one day you can show us the inside. Hello to Jah!!! My sister in law is now a sub to you. She loves the old Hollywood times.
I lived there from June of 77 to June of 80. Lived on Whitley above Franklin. 5640 Santa Monica. 666 N Van Ness. El Centro and Lexington Willoughby and Sycamore. Howard’s Weekly Apartments. Just above Hwd Blvd. now I think it’s a motel 6 and then into the Hollywood hills. 1961 N Argyle above Franklin. Good times. I was 22 came from a small town in Pennsylvania. I got immersed in the street life of Hollywood ( you can interpret that however you want. You are probably CORRECT ) I could walk ANYWHERE ANYTIME didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING. I got in and out of cars with strangers all night and am still here to tell about it. Bar all of that it represented the carefree days of my youth.
When I went to Musicians Institute in 1981 (when it was at 6757, above the Hollywood Wax Museum), the Frederick's of Hollywood store was there. I drove by it everyday when I got off of the 101, traveling from Covina.
AWESOME vlog. Brought back memories of earlier LA visits. Had to have a drink by the pool at the Roosevelt. Another time caught a movie at El Capitan and enjoyed the preshow music of the man playing the organ. Can't wait to visit again. Thanks again, Jordan.
Van Heflin, my fav, played Phillip Marlowe on the radio. I love your old Hollywood videos! When I lived there I was very distracted by the modern dirt, trash...and rarely looked beyond the yuck to see the old glamour. I'm glad I did in a few places though. Thanks for showing us how they look now! Stay safe.
I really loved the Hollywood walk tour. Some much history in Hollywood. I would love to go back in time to visit the Old Hollywood. I am so glad that you have moved out of the area. You will be much happier living out of the area. It looks like a movie set to the zombie apocalypse it's must feel very strange being so empty. Well done Jordan
It's weird to see Hollywood Blvd. so quiet. Stores boarded up. Almost no people on the street. I saw a silent movie at the Egyptian just before we went into lockdown. Great job vlogging all these historical places, Jordan!!!! Nice to know they'll be there waiting for us when the pandemic is over.
On the corner of Hollywood and McCadden Place next to Micelis there is currently a store called Red White and Blue on Hollywood according to Google street view. When I left L.A. in the 90's it was a Jack in the Box restaurant but, before that in the 70''s it was a coffee shop called The Golden Cup. Jackson Browne references it in the song Boulevard with the line "Down at The Golden Cup, they set the young ones up." It was a reference to the male hustlers at the time.
So nice to walk along with you Jordan. Buildings of the twenty’s and thirty’s are very impressive. I wonder what all the old movie stars and business people would think about how the Boulevard looks today?
It was so nice to see some of the spots my daughter & I visited when we were there last June. I missed some great pic opportunities I see. Can't wait for the other vlog. Thanks
Thank you for vlogging the history of beautiful Old Hollywood. Who knows how much longer it will be there very sad. So glad you are making these videos for future viewers.
I wish I had paid more attention to those signs on Hollywood Boulevard when I was there last year, because I'm really into all of that history. I did go to several of those places including the Roosevelt Hotel. I can't say I was shocked at all the homeless and mentally ill people but it was sad nonetheless. Within our first hour in Hollywood , we were staying on Orchid Street right behind Hollywood Boulevard, we were accosted by "Superman" in front of Grauman's Chinese who went after us with his fists raised saying he was going to " f**k us up" because we wouldn't give him $5 to take a picture with him. Also, a homeless woman asked for money and when we politely declined she told us how "ugly!" we were. Lol. It was a little scary but overall we definitely loved our trip.
Another awesome vlog Jordan! Sad that it’s seen much better days, but thanks for documenting and keeping memories alive. (Ever had food thrown at you before while filming?!?)
Thank you for your vlog. I understand there are proposals to reduce the lanes and increase the sidewalk width on Hollywood Blvd. I hope they do that. Being from LA and living on Whitley in the 1970s and 1980s when you came down Whitley Heights to Hollywood Blvd the Kress (Frederick's of Hollywood Bldg) was painted lavender and pink and lit with red neon around the windows. No way you could have missed it. We would be down on the Blvd every night if we didn't have a casting the next day. I recall thinking after they put in the McDonalds on Highland that that was the end of Hollywood Blvd. Once again thanks.
Great video! LOL, I have a picture of me at Hollywood and Vine when I was 12 years old. Maybe I should go there and and take another photo 48 years later!
I hope you will include the old Cafe Montmartre in the next segment. I think the building still stands (now the Museum of Selfies), almost next door to Grauman's Chinese and now almost houses the Snow White and Seven Dwafs Cafe (I had coffee and cheesecake there in June 1988). Montmartre is where Joan Crawford, Ramon Navarro, and Thelma Todd spent many evenings before they were stars, winning Charleston and Black bottom dance contests. That abusive woman was certainly an ignominious 'goodbye' for you, to your old life in downtown Hollywood. Glad you're out of that madness and staying safe and well!
Great Vlog Jordan, this is the nice stroll I always wanted to do, but every time I was in Hollywood I was so busy doing something else. So much history that one misses when in a hurry. Life should be taken a bit slower for enjoyment sometimes. Looking forward until tomorrow for part two!
Hopefully history landmark s doesn't change that much in the near future. Hello Jordan 😊 can't wait for you to visit gray Indiana.... MJ childhood home and cusio house, maybe grave...
Great vlog! So cool to still see the old buildings still in place. Lots of history going on in the city.. I'm assuming this was filmed before the protest? I don't see boarded-up windows or national guard there.

You are so lucjy to have those memories. An era that imo will never return
Do you remember a tv show it was called , ABC The Hollywood Palace , taped at The Hollywood Palace?
@@Jay-vr9ir I DO!

Stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel on my honeymoon in1963..Thanks for the memories.❤️❤️❤️

You would think the city would want to preserve more of these very historic buildings. Such rich cultural heritage. Thank you for an awesome vlog.
I'm not really sure what the city cares about anymore..

Love the tour of Hollywood Blvd! I stayed at the Roosevelt hotel & walked around there. Saw the Marilyn Monroe mirror 🤟in the hotel
Awesome walking tour, you can pack in a lot of Hollywood/LA history.
Awesome vlog. Can't wait to see the other part. Take care and stay safe.
Great vlog. . . Yesterday seeing photos of armored military vehicles parked along the star walk. . . Crazy times
Thanks Jordan. Cool seeing old Hollywood. I wondered if you would show that lady. I knew she was not happy....so sad. Thanks for the vlog, looking forward to part 2.

it is much better today than it was 1975 through 2000 or so.
Andy Edge true! It was incredibly rough and full of strip clubs during that period.
Last time I was there was in the late '70s or early '80s and it was not a place where I felt safe. We'll just put it that way!
That's what happens when you let politicians run things.
It's in every city in the world, sadly. I hope this pandemic help those that are homeless
I've done a bus tour around Hollywood, i expected it to be glamerous and glitzy, what it looked like was a dirty, sleezy and to be honest grimy looking place what's sad is all that history you just told Jordan is soo interesting, some of the buildings could be looked after soo much better to go along with the history thankyou loved listening Jordan x
We were there 3 years ago and now it’s all covered in trash. Such a shame. TY for your videos Jordan! Please keep posting
I love seeing the historic buildings and learning about the history of Hollywood! It’s so interesting!!
Awesome Jordan lots of insteasting old history.
Philip Marlo's movies were amazing. You always find the most amazing things to vlog.
We held our own “awards” ceremony honoring Drs and government officials that donated their time, fund raising efforts and scientific work done towards the American Heart Assn. at the Rosevelt Hotel, the Biltmore Hotel and Century Plaza Hotel.

I live for this type of content! Watching from Ireland :) Thanks Jordan!
Love all the Hollywood history you share Jordan :)
Great video 👍 very glad to hear more about Hollywood good luck with your moving
I love these places from the past. Thank you Jordan for keeping them alive in our hearts.
Thank you Jordan. Your vlogs are always so informative. I won't ever be able to get to see these historic sites in person so I appreciate what you do.
Ur an awesome tour guide. This was quite enjoyable. I miss those days & I’m only 51.
I love Hollywood and stores of old Hollywood, me and my daughter stayed in the Roosevelt Hotel there in 1992 that was old Hollywood with a capital H i loved that hotel such history i hope to go back one day fingers crossed thanks for the blog ,,,,, all the best from the UK

This is one of your best videos Jordan. I've been to LA many times but never had the chance to simply see the sights. Thanks for the experience!
Great vlog !
I used to visit for many of these places in Hollywood in the 80's and 90's. Brought back memories. This was great!
Great info/vlog Jordan. Paul uk 🇬🇧
Hollywood history is just so intriguing to me. Great vlog 👍🏻😎
Thank you so much for sharing this
So nice to walk along with you Jordan. Buildings of the twenty’s and thirty’s are very impressive. I wonder what all the old movie stars and business people would think about how the Boulevard looks today?
Love the audience mural! Thanks for including that. And for doung this. Loved it !!!
It was so nice to see some of the spots my daughter & I visited when we were there last June. I missed some great pic opportunities I see. Can't wait for the other vlog. Thanks
Thank you for vlogging the history of beautiful Old Hollywood. Who knows how much longer it will be there very sad. So glad you are making these videos for future viewers.
Thanks for the memory awesome videos I watch your as much as I can thank you (Canada)
Jordan, love your vlogs and thank you for being real:) Thumbs up👍👍👍
Glad you and Jah are moving. Where are you going?Love all your vlog you are quite the story teller!
Thank you for doing that.

Sweet! As an East Coaster, it's crazy how new those 'old' buildings are. My current apartment building was built in 1890, comparatively
Thanks for doing that for us.
Another awesome vlog Jordan! Sad that it’s seen much better days, but thanks for documenting and keeping memories alive. (Ever had food thrown at you before while filming?!?)
AWESOME Sauce!! Ahhhh one of my favorite subjects OLD HOLLYWOOD!! Can't wait for part 2! Blessings on you,Amy and Jah and of course your new home!
Great idea for a vlog Jordan. Been down that road many times but never noticed the red signs. Thanks for bringing us old Hollywood. Be safe out there!
Great vlog Jordan. So much history being remembered.
Thank you for your vlog. I understand there are proposals to reduce the lanes and increase the sidewalk width on Hollywood Blvd. I hope they do that.

Thank you Jordan....this video made me smile
WONDERFUL! You make this Minneapolis architectural historian very happy. Cripes, I adore the opening animation and theme song!!
Lived in Hollywood summer of 69, great channel, in & out of Hollywood 84-89
Thanks Jordan enjoyed early Hollywood history to bad someone will be offended ,who doesn’t believe in history.....
I sooo love old Hollywood 1920’s! Thank you so Jourdan
Great vlog and hopefully that homeless lady found some help and shelter. Obviously she was not well
This is awesome. Thank you Jordan for showing old Hollywood. I know I will never get to Hollywood. So thank you Jordan!!
We sure can appreciate why you are moving your address....wishing all the best, fun times and safety at the new home for you and Jah~
Robert Mitchum played Marlow twice.. He was perfect fro the role
That dog is so cute.
The history is so interesting! Great vlog!
Great vlog! Love hearing about Hollywood history.
Awsome vid Jordan. Looking forward to your next vid and wondering where you are moving to. J
Thank you. Wonderful history. A lot of work for you to do. Look forward to the next, second half of the street vlog.
Great video! LOL, I have a picture of me at Hollywood and Vine when I was 12 years old. Maybe I should go there and and take another photo 48 years later!
I hope you will include the old Cafe Montmartre in the next segment. I think the building still stands (now the Museum of Selfies), almost next door to Grauman's Chinese and now almost houses the Snow White and Seven Dwafs Cafe (I had coffee and cheesecake there in June 1988). Montmartre is where Joan Crawford, Ramon Navarro, and Thelma Todd spent many evenings before they were stars, winning Charleston and Black bottom dance contests. That abusive woman was certainly an ignominious 'goodbye' for you, to your old life in downtown Hollywood. Glad you're out of that madness and staying safe and well!
I know people look down on Hollywood Blvd but I find it fascinating, it's so gross but there's so much history in the area
Great Vlog Jordan, this is the nice stroll I always wanted to do, but every time I was in Hollywood I was so busy doing something else. So much history that one misses when in a hurry. Life should be taken a bit slower for enjoyment sometimes. Looking forward until tomorrow for part two!
I LOVE YOUR SHOW ON OLD HOLLYWOOD THANK YOU!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I have never been to Hollywood....but I would have preferred the 'old' Hollywood anyway. Thanks for the look around 😎
Hopefully history landmark s doesn't change that much in the near future. Hello Jordan 😊 can't wait for you to visit gray Indiana.... MJ childhood home and cusio house, maybe grave...
That was very informative! I enjoyed it much. Looking forward to walking down the other side of the street.
Great vlog! So cool to still see the old buildings still in place. Lots of history going on in the city..
I'm assuming this was filmed before the protest? I don't see boarded-up windows or national guard there.
So cool. Great vlog, Jordan!! Much love to you and Jah ❤❤❤🦁
