@ where can i get one?

[@w.w.2restorations.vehicles698]

I found your channel last year, I have to tell you that I really enjoy your content. HOWEVER some of it makes me sad. I grew up in Glendale and moved to Pacific Wa. because my Dad was at the end of His life. The only place He could get was a Veterans Hospice home in Port Orchard, I didn't want the distance so I moved. I MISS L.A. A LOT, I don't miss the heat though. THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORTS, KEEP UP THE GREAK WORK. Please don't change the way you narrate, it is more appealing to listen to someone when they are "real" instead of hyping things up.

[@CoffinPrick]

Great video. These are some wild times. Was real tough to breathe here in Highland Park, but getting easier by the day. Stay safe!

[@stangalaxia2879]

Good job Mr □●▪︎☆CRUCIAL. Love you and all you do for us viewers.

[@flukyreview9128]

Corkys was the place with fond memories. I lost my virginity in the parking lot in 1978. We met some older college girls cruzing Van Nuys Blvd. I was 17. Wow what a great time back then to be young.

[@estebancruz6194]

That’s so cool that your car was in a movie. Crazy times for sure. Glad things are getting better. Lots of history in the SF valley. A block after Chase bank on Laurel Cyn. I remember the 97 NH shootout. Sad to see Corkys gone, even tho I never ate there or knew its history. I also found some addresses of game companies in old video game magazines, is crazy to find out that I’ve been or work at some of the same buildings. & I actually worked at Warner center. Thank you for all your work documenting all this places. Stay safe brother!

[@ProCorona]

Another great video can’t wait for the next one Kurt you really deserve to hit the 100000 subscribers as soon as possible -!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I grew up in the immediate neighborhood corkys was in. I used to go that Burger King...2 whoopers for 99 cents! Unreal! Up the road across from the Hughes supermarket, there was a pioneer chicken. Good old days!

[@aaphotofilm]

Wow this is amazing, love the NWA location you showed at the end, Eazy Es office wow, whats more amazing is the fact that you was there in one of the scenes and your car was in the shot, wow thats just crazy, love this video. hope you can do more like these

Fun. A young me worked for LAUSD as a school bus driver from 1981-1985. Taft High was the last school I worked, picking up kids in South LA. Cool to think that Ice-T might have been one of my kids 😊🎤🎧

For a short period of time maybe 10 years ago or so, Corky's became the Lamplighter lounge. I only went once when it was the Lamplighter to see some live music. It then went back to Corky's and then closed. Thanks for the videos.

[@GoingtotheMovies]

I was rewatching Straight Outta Compton the other day and noticed Ice Cube's school was the same one Louis and Ren went to in Even Stevens (best show of all time?). That's awesome your car snuck into the scene!

"Thanks Brain" lol

[@jesusmartinez9868]

👍💙

[@slotsrus1163]

Love your videos. I just started to check out your old videos & Xmas vacation. And at end of video you went to my buddy Jeff Nortons house in La mirada so cool u did that. And then the fletch lives video came on & you did the part at the county club in the palisades & the tennis courts. Makes me wonder if the country club caught on fire. Hope not. I grew up by the Johnnie’s broiler in Downey. Where u do lots of videos. So cool. Gotta do the Pineapple Express at the beginning of movie Seth is driving down Florence ave. In Downey. Keep up the good work & be safe out there.. I’ll stay tuned

[@canamrider07]

When I moved to The Valley in the 80’s I opened a checking account at the B of A in Warner Center. I still have that account. You should point out the “Body Double” house which is near the Universal Overlook. It was also Troy McClure’s home on the Simpson’s.

[@jamesmartinez9140]

Are you talking about the one on Canoga? It used to be next to a TGIFridays

[@canamrider07]

@@jamesmartinez9140 it’s called the Chemosphere House. It’s on the side of the mountain near the overlook. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemosphere

[@thisworldaccordingtome9495]

@11:26 Do you remember what was there, north of Oxnard before the Orange line was put in? I've lived in the neighborhood for an eternity but can't remember what was there. I think it was an abandoned part of the Los Angeles River, or abandoned train tracks(?)

[@Mpg-gh5fq]

I think it was just vacant land for a few decades, and a train track before that. Terry Lumber Company used to have a store a little ways to the east, at Reseda & Oxnard, and another one by the still-active train track at Reseda & Parthenia.

[@johnnysingtree]

your mother is very proud.

[@eddiepasa4173]

Have you thought about doing the locations from Rian Johnson's debut film Brick? It's a lesser-known movie (compared to the blockbusters you usually do) and was shot in San Clemente, but seeing the locations through your lens would be a trip. Thanks, good luck, and please stay safe.

[@felipemanriquez5442]

i would go too lamplighter all the time that one location yr at with my uncles cousin in sherman oaks we lived in van nuys on sepulvada

[@danikeebler1662]

Another business that was on VN Blvd was 4/20 pies. Covid got it. There was a sign on both locations saying thanks for 40 great years.

[@known_unknown284]

I agree the gate thing at the park is very strange! Must have been set up before the fires I would assume. Doesn't look like a quickly slapped together emergency job. Separate from that, maybe strangely/maybe not, one of my earlier thoughts when I heard about the fires, especially when they seemed like they might "jump the 405" (sorry if this isn't actually relevant, I'm not from LA and don't really know how things are laid out) was I hope Kurt and his family are going to be ok, and less important but still significant, I hope so many of those great locations I saw through his videos aren't going to be destroyed!

[@johndornoff]

I and my parents had many friends in Altadena. So sad to see the destruction

[@charleneweege7149]

I don't remember Corkys. We went to Van Nuys Blvd. a couple of times to watch the cruising. I lived in Burbank in the late 70's and 80's. Sherman Oaks in the 90's. Didn't go to Van Nuys much.

[@bornsupreme2304]

Not sure if you were aware, but a great many LA rappers/artists, affiliates and other artists who were spawned and could trace their roots to NWA lived in The Summit apartment complex in Woodland Hills through out the 1990’s. Snoop Dogg, DJ QUIK and Mack 10 to name a few

A house or business will keep a wall or roof because it will be considered an upgrade rather than a new build. The laws and taxes are different for a new build they want to avoid

On Reddit they are saying there are two gates and they don't latch. Did you try opening the gate?
