BULLOCK'S WILSHIRE | National Lampoon's CHRISTMAS VACATION Filming Locations

[@esthergarcia1373]

Loved seeing Jah with his friend and understanding every word that you said before dropping him off in his younger years for playtime❣️🐕‍🦺 I used to buy my dress clothes at that Bullocks Wilshire and even remember at a very young age going to the tearoom with my Aunt Vicky. Beautiful building & beautiful memories. Thanks Jordan for making my day with this vlog still current for 2022. ❤️🙏🏻🌴🌈

Loved this vlog and thank you for explaining everything

[@krismccarthy4938]

My mom worked at a law firm across the street and took me to the tea room to see a fashion show in the 70s. In 2001 I was working at another law firm, also across the street, and one of the other paralegals had a pass to the building since it was a law library. She took me to lunch at the cafeteria, which I think was the tearoom, and it was like going back to the 30s. They totally preserved it. Great vlog as always!

[@robertsquires2529]

👍 enjoy the adventure and the rubics cube was impressive

[@missykowalewski]

One of the things that really stands out when u do these type of vlogs is ur attention to detail. Not only the research info but the actual site/building details. Thanks for being so detailed. U keep it interesting and always informative. I've learned soooooooo much.

[@PAMELACOLT]

The tea room was on the fifth floor. This is a fabulous blog. Many memories. I'm 65 and went here many times.

[@rachelvoogt3665]

Your Vlog, brought back so many happy memories of Christmas shopping with my mother and Grandmother in the mid to late 60's. My father would drop us off in the back, drop off area...then come back later. It was still considered swanky at the time, clean and beautiful. We often ate lunch there before my father picked us up. My 2nd grade patriotic painting was even featured near the cafeteria area, along with other Los Angeles area school children's paintings😀 I was born and raised in 1959 in the Belvedere Area on 1st Street. Plz, do a Vlog about that area. It was a Russian, Jewish neighborhood back in the day. The 1st st. Store and bank were a historical area. Masonic lodge was up the street from us on Townsend Ave. And later used as a furniture wharehouse. Our neighbor, Mr. Fred Moran made miniatures for Cecil B. DeMile movies. My parents later purchased his house. His miniatures were at Motts Miniatures in Knotts Berry Farm for many years. He was one of the members off the Masonic lodge and often had elections held in his back building. Great historical old schools there too.

Thanks for vlogging this Jordan! The one and only time I shopped at Bullock's Wilshire was on it's last day of operation in 1993. It was an art-deco wonder! I still have the bed sheets I purchased that day. I wish you could have seen it... I wish it didn't have to go, but the times were a-changin'. Being able to venture into every nook-and cranny of the place on its last day was a privilege. Thanks again Jordan!

[@AH-ew6ei]

That building is Amazing. The tarnished copper gives it such an interesting look and character.

[@elegantnoir6999]

I miss Bullocks Wilshire so much! I shopped there with my mom and grandmother when I was a little girl. The food in the tea room was delish and the valets who parked your car were really cute!

[@esthergarcia1373]

ElegantNoir..I went to the tearoom once with my aunt as a child too. I bought many dresses at that Bullocks Wilshire during my childhood & teen years. Glad Jordan’s vlog documented it’s existence. ❤️🙏🏻

[@robinpankey5323]

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Robin Pankey thank you!

[@lisacrampton45]

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thanks

[@paulcerra3194]

Love the art deco style of the 20's and 30's. Thanks for telling us the story behind this beautiful building. I wish I could have shopped there just once.

[@editboy09]

Glad i found your channel. I have a little fascinaton with Hollywood history. You got a great sense of humor to go with it. keep up the good work.

[@mdkutzler8495]

What a beautiful art deco inspired building and you did a great job painting a picture for the mind of what Bullucks must have been like during its hey-day. Also, the guy with the shopping cart and the guy on the train,,,looooove it. Now that is Cali-crazy that is really cool.

[@ellenhammel4884]

I love “Ghostbusters & NL Christmas Vacation”! I’m glad the building is being used & not just decaying or demolished. I can’t do a Rubik’s Cube with my eyes open let alone with them closed. 😅 Loved the vlog!!

[@rwuest72]

Awesome vlog Jordan! That was a cool building where Bullock's Wilshire department store was. Also, Christmas Vacation is one of my favorite Christmas movies too!!

[@racheldelgado9216]

Awesome vlog. What a beautiful building with an amazing history. Thanks Jordan.

[@Cakemaster2341]

Great vlog Jordan...it makes me want to travel back in time... I really hope you can get in the building at some point. Fascinating!

[@paulcerra3194]

I was thinking the same thing through the entire vlog. If I could only have seen it in it's heyday!

[@rawkusrex]

Friends of mine got their law degree from that school. I've gone in there to visit them from time to time. The architecture inside is insanely beautiful.

[@mustangcindy1303]

That’s my favorite Christmas movie too. 🎄

[@QueenCityHistory]

Oh you straight boys and your football lol. I miss the days of the real department stores. I remember the local department store here when we would go to the cafe on the top floor and when they had a fur department. So sad mini malls and online shopping have killed these stores.

[@Jerry-ok8gj]

Thank you for posting this great video. Really enjoyed it.😊

[@mizzsparkle3421]

This was awesome! I love hearing about old buildings and their former lives. I love imaging what life was like for those people. Beautiful art deco building, too.

[@misspearlpearl7530]

This was really interesting. Nice thing in Chicago is we do keep our old retail stores. Loved this.

[@melodieshorey7503]

I LOVE this!!! thanks Jordan!!!!

[@cherylmason5840]

[@lindachavezw...246]

Very informative! Enjoyed this vlog just like all of your vlogs.

[@mariad.6373]

Awesome love info on this building o hadn't known! Thank you!!!

[@minnesotalakes2062]

Wouldn't it be nice if you / we could see the existing tea-room. The mural in the carport was beautiful. Looking at the tower sure brings back memories of Ghostbusters!

[@Neverinthekitchen]

what a beautiful building!

[@inlandcldy]

Jordan, what a fantastic building! Hopefully, you will be allowed in to film the interior! Loved the murals and enjoyed the overall vlog!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Shelley Boone thank you!

[@darylturcott]

Great history, I used to like the big department stores. Most are gone now.

[@stevemalarski]

What an awesome vlog!! Such great architecture and history. Reminds me of how the old Marshall Fields store in downtown Chicago was when I was a kid. It too was an all day affair, especially around the holidays. In the 70's the elevators still had human operators that would announce each floor and what was available for purchasing. Hopefully you can get inside one day, would love to see the interior!!!

[@leontindle7226]

john wayne was there how asome thanks manyour work you do is great.

[@rosalieallen8828]

That building is massive. Shame u didn't get to go in. Nice piece of history there.

[@kevinmills8437]

Filming building also play hotel in Dunston Checks in.

[@gioduarte1104]

I love this channel. Have you ever done a video on Desilu Ranch in Chatsworth? I've always wondered about that place.

[@mrpeel3239]

Great to see the building still standing! Hope you will do an entire video on SUBway CULTURE one day.

[@MoviemaniaNick]

I remember watching Adam's vlog about this place and discussing the filming done there! Awesome building!

[@djtechnoid]

Awesome! I bet that place used to be art deco heaven inside. I love the exterior architecture. Thank you for this vlog!

[@pc7595]

Great vlog and a smashing building in original condition- thank you sir

[@bongbongtravels6108]

You should check out Bradbury Building in downtown LA. I took some video. It's open to the public.

[@kimberlygoss7773]

Hey Jordan!! I enjoyed learning the history about this building when it used to be a really cool department store. Too bad it's not anymore. Maybe it will work out where you can film the inside that would be really cool to see. Thanks for this great vlog.

[@cathyvice7135]

what a beautiful old building! Was that the same place hedy lamarr was caught shoplifting?

[@clockingout4033]

you say the guy with rubics cube closes his eyes and completes it, I couldn't do with eyes wide open! lol

[@sallylouise9826]

What a great story and nice to see the location of my favourite Christmas films and ghostbusters . Good job Jordan hope you get to film the inside . 👍🏻💙🎥🎬😎🦁🐶👍🏻

[@karenleemallonee684]

What a beautiful building, I could just imagine what it must have been like in it's hey day! The gown room sounded delightful, and the tearoom would have been the place to be (yesteryears Starbucks), I am even intrigued by the smoke room. Did you ever get to return and film the inside? Loved the history, Jordan, thank you! 🌼

[@gaylebuster1079]

I think that’s the department store where my grandmother took me shopping when I was very little. The story is that I sat down in the middle of the store and I’s tired! She lived near the Shriner Auditorium.

[@CeeLiberty]

Public tours at the end of July. Check their website. The interior is unbelievable!!!

[@oxtuckian]

This was cool, i'd love to see inside! 👍 Did you ever go back Jordan? I looked through your vlogs, but didn't find any others.

[@NDNelson]

Beautiful building.

[@nunnaurbiznez8815]

If you want to see interiors before and after restoration KCET online did several stories about Bullocks Wilshire on closing day, as the library took over and various stages of restoration. The interiors are beautiful and restored to 1929 originals.

[@mgarringerkcify]

I loved Bullocks, I wonder if the 94 Northridge quake didn't help because it took out two other stores. fashion Square and Northridge . I moved from Los Angeles in 99 and had to take the long way on bus.

[@justjules1032]

Such a Mecca for old Hollywood

[@mercyverdugo1754]

AWESOME VID.... Wonder what it looks like inside now..

[@anonymousgirl2620]

Mercy Lopez It's a law library now.

[@jrriels963]

I'm pretty sure the rooftop of Bullocks Wilshire was used in Predator 2...it looks gorgeous in the movie at night.

[@rosalieallen8828]

Sunset sound vlog thought it eluded me.... ahh... didnt happen lol. Luv departments that have u feeingl ur in another part of the world. Who said virtual reality was the first. Hahaha.. It sure wld b g8 2 vlog iin there 4 sure. Chevy Chase that was i thnk off the bat.

[@raimywinter2309]

That dude with the cube is epic

[@happycherylc]

the neighborhood changed just like downtown LA. the neighborhood couldn't support this kind of store. Downtown LA use to have lots of big department stores.

[@esthergarcia1373]

Ahhh.. The memories of those large department store days. Priceless ❣️🌴🌲🏢🏦🕍

[@melodieshorey7503]

I have the book on this wonderful store!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@garbage854]

Neat store :)

[@lovelessfishing6193]

Go Buckeyes! O-H

[@seattlescofflaws]

Your vlog, A+ Law School telling you, you cannot film on part if the sidewalk, F- and petty. They don’t come out and tell people they have to walk on the part closest to the street I guarantee you.

[@MrMfloor]

Very sad to see what has become of Los Angeles
