Driving Hollywood Hills, The Bird Streets

[@yokosomike]

I owned a home in the hills twenty years ago and know the area well… going down Sunset, I noticed my bank is gone, no more House of Blues and Tower Records is now a Supreme store. I used to ride my bike from my house up to the observatory… then past the Hollywood sign and then back into my home. Great times. I now live in Tokyo and wouldn’t go back but I will always have fond memories.

[@Omwvlog]

Oh nice! What street did you live on? I remember when the sunset strip was very popular with celebrities. I remember going to tower records.. Virgin records store on sunset closed a while back before Tower did. Tokyo must me amazing to live at!

[@yokosomike]

@@Omwvlog yeah, I remember sunset as well, growing up in the 70s. My dad worked for the Southern California Gas Co and his area was Hollywood and Berverly and Hollywood Hills. I used to call him “gasman to the stars” cause he was always going to stars homes and meeting them. He met Elvis one day and my dad was a huge fan. In fact, he had Elvis call me at school when I was in first grade on that day but I was already on my way home. Sometimes my dad would let me take a day off and he would also and we would drive up to Hollywood from Torrance and he would give me a driving tour of where all the stars homes he had visited. He even went to the Manson house and he didn’t know it at the time but said there was something evil he felt there, wasn’t till he got back to the headquarters in Beverly Hills did he find out where he had been. Yeah, I used to live up Canyon Drive off of Franklin. My neighbor was a television producer, Brad and Jennifer lived up the street from me, I used to run into Fiona Apple all the time at the market and that’s where a lot of stars that lived in Hollywood bought food. It was the Mayfair when I lived there but now it’s something else. I had the smallest house in the neighborhood but it was the coolest because it had a gate at the entrance and I had a fantastic view looking west at the other mountain side on the west side of Canyon Dive. Hollywood is a crazy place… love it here in Tokyo. Totally different life for me here. Funny thing about Virgin megastore… seems like almost every time I would go to check out some music I would run into “Fabio”!… I must have run into him at least a dozen times and I would also see him driving around Hollywood in a green Bentley with his two dogs. I think he actually worked out at a gym in the complex which was why he was there so much but yeah, he started to recognize me as well! Lol! Lots of crazy stories about Hollywood.

[@topfitnessssss]

@@yokosomike OMG!! You def should be writing a book about these amazing memories damn damn 💛💛💛💛💛💛

[@mark11967AD]

The labyrinth of quietly nestled homes surrounded by such a big city is a startling concept. Almost more old world European. The cool thing is that you see so many ‘new concept’ homes that were probably built in the 50s and 60s not looking dilapidated but instead updated to look as cool and chic as ever. Very nice immersive car ride adventure keep ‘em coming. 👍

[@ecoRfan]

It does remind me of the Mediterranean, notably the French Riviera

This was a very relaxing drive to watch. Beautiful scenery, very plush expensive homes and obviously a very exclusive neighborhood. Being from a small ( very impoverished ) town in Manchester, in the UK, the one thing that strikes me as being the great leveller is the fact that, there in the famous Hollywood hills as in my home town, your scenery is blighted by the same blue, brown,green, black assortment of refuse/ recycling bins. Nice video! I'll be dropping by again.

[@Omwvlog]

Those damn bins! LOL They are everywhere!! Your comment made me chuckle! Glad you enjoyed this video and thanks for watching! Happy New Year!

[@21m455]

I didn't see them everywhere, and there only on the streets in the UK on pick up day

As a tourist, I decided to try a little exploration in the Laurel Canyon side roads. I turned onto Lookout Mountain and almost immediately started having a panic attack. I had to do a very awkward 17-point turn and head back out. Go deep into the Laurel Canyon hollars and you’ll end up on rickety one-lane roads where if you swerve a few feet to the side, you’ll go tumbling down a ravine.

Apparently on Rising Glen Road - and it's still standing and it's still painted avocado green! (~53:00). God, I love L.A.!

First let me say I enjoyed the video. It was shocking to see those homes and how they were built into those hills. I watch the tv show Million Dollar Listings LA and they are always mentioning the “ Bird Streets.” The hills!!!!!! Who in their right mind would buy a home there? Where are the sewers in the streets for water run off? I couldn’t even imagine what the streets must look like in a regular rain storm! Can’t imagine what is going on with rain water to the houses in the bottom of the hills. Some of those homes are carved into the hillside. No wonder the homes slide off the hills with heavy rain. I wouldn’t take one of those homes for free!!!! I have to say the view from some of the streets are spectacular but who sits outside all the time watching the view? Your video was very informative and I thank you for spending your time making the video. First time on your channel. I will be watching your other videos as well. The Bird Streets? Not for me. Any prospective buyers? Run for the hills!!! (Excuse the pun!) The lower streets seem to be much better.

[@Omwvlog]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's my first time really driving these hills and it was quite interesting. I would've imagined the streets to be a lot nicer. The views were even nicer in person. I definitely agree the lower street homes are much better. I have another Hollywood Hills video I drove yesterday and will be posting soon. Thanks again for watching and Happy New Year!

[@moalf5088]

@@Omwvlog I loved the Beverly Hills neighborhood video. Now, that looks like a normal flat land neighborhood. Homes are much nicer as well. I’m assuming normal flat backyards. Don’t think the homes in the “Hills” have much of a backyard. Awaiting your “Hollywood Hills” video.

Drove through this area with my husband when we visited LA, very pretty houses, almost felt uncomfortable about driving in such an expensive area! I couldnt help but notice how although the houses may be luxurious, if there was a mudslide or earthquake, those houses would be soooo damaged and the people living there probs wouldnt have access to emergency services in those instances. Still, very interesting to drive around

The terrain in the hills is always shifting. It goes with the territory. You can completely repave all those streets and within a short time they'll exhibit the the same stress. While these hilly roads don't look like they're well maintained they actually are. Asphalt is more flexible vs, concrete. It gives and it's much easier to just patch. Concrete roads can crack severly in the hills, Kind regards.

You can tell when a city 🌃 Is in ruins by the cracked Roads… ℹ️can’t believe how Bad it’s gotten wow 😮

[@Omwvlog]

The roads are definitely in need of better maintenance! Thanks for watching!

[@antoniahamilton3201]

Do you see any unpatched pot holes?

[@isabeldonahue4157]

I think I would get lost at night trying to get home. l love all the trees and shrubery and not to much traffic. Every single house is beautiful.

[@Omwvlog]

Yah I was thinking the same. I'd like to do a night drive. But I need a better camera for it. Hopefully soon!

[@wendyfarr5050]

Hello from Australia,just found your channel.So beautiful cute little streets beautiful houses magic veiw.Some people are blessed.❤

[@Omwvlog]

Glad you enjoyed the video! I bet Australia is very beautiful! A place I want to visit someday! ❤

[@hamsterdiving7593]

Wow. I've been down that street many, many times. This was really five days ago? The in between of the holidays? Then Hollywood has truly become a ghost town. There should be far more pedestrians than that. I have *never* seen it that empty...

[@Omwvlog]

A lot of people leave Los Angeles for the holiday. It's been a bit quiet in the area for the past week or so. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

I lived in L.A. from 1985 - 1996. I had a job working for interior designers so I got to go into many houses on streets like this and other affluent neighborhoods. I remember thinking "if only...." but now looking back I don't miss the congestion and the expense. There definitely are some amazing homes there.

[@Omwvlog]

Ooo you must have seen some cool homes that you got to redesign! the traffic is crazy. I work my schedule around the traffic so I don't get stuck! LOL

[@Epic_Squirrel]

You made me homesick. Used to live on the end of Bluejay

[@Omwvlog]

oh wow! must've been nice living on that street! Thanks for watching!

[@GirlCode007]

It’s a nightmare up there. Been all up and down this road and it’s terrifying coming down from the hills. No parking no room to swerve. Nice homes but living there seems like a nightmare to get in and out of.

[@Omwvlog]

Yah I can't imagine doing this regularly. At least the roads aren't as busy compared to other areas. Thanks for watching!

[@ncjay08]

I'll admit, I didn't expect L.A. to be so green. Just vegetation everywhere.

[@Omwvlog]

It depends on the neighborhood. But yah a lot of green in this area. Thanks for watching! ❤

[@bobbowie9350]

uber rich uses a lot of water

[@scenic_drive_RV]

Beautiful video! Trip is awesome!

[@Omwvlog]

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!

[@omarsiciliano8245]

Grazie come sempre amico,per darmi la possibilità di scoprire strada per strada il posto che ho sempre sognato di visitare o addirittura di abitare. Per favore continua così 🔝

[@Omwvlog]

Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos.

[@KingOFuh]

Very relaxing, quiet video of exclusive L.A. Da bird is da wird

[@Omwvlog]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Surfin bird! 🐦😆

[@Yet1moreUtuber]

Just found your channel. This is a interestingly different video, . Enjoyed it.

[@Omwvlog]

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you have a happy new year!

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

So many moments where I think 'this is the coolest neighborhood ever, none of the houses are the same and I bet there's a TON of secret architecture you can't see' mixed in with moments of 'oh this place is overrated as fuck' lol. But sure a lot more run down than it looks in the movies. That pavement has seen better days for sure. Not sure I saw a single block's worth of fresh road in this whole video. Just this perpetual fault line that never ends right between the tread lines.

[@Omwvlog]

I agree that a lot of the homes in LA are not the same and the streets definitely need to be worked on. Thanks for watching

[@brianheffernan8982]

I just found your channel and loved the video. Happy New Year and greetings from Columbus, Ohio.

[@Omwvlog]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! I have family in Columbus. Happy New Year!

[@ashishkumarmohanty9660]

Thank you for this video. 👍👍👍👍

[@Omwvlog]

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying my videos!

[@cognitivedissonancecamp6326]

All the men of renown who know these streets from bumping around Los Santos, I tip my hat to you.

[@243wayne1]

What a dump. I wouldn't want a through street 6 inches from my door step.

[@Omwvlog]

Thanks for watching!

[@kafaros.design4295]

Watching this, gives me flashbacks from Grand Theft Auto 5.

[@Omwvlog]

Did I drive by Franklin's house? Thanks for watching!

[@davidg5629]

Good place for a contractor. There must be lots of dry rot up there.

[@Omwvlog]

Yah I'm sure they do well!

[@ophelia_III]

Where’s all the people?

[@DeniseWhittle]

Thank you , I really enjoyed watching this

[@Omwvlog]

I'm so glad! Thanks for watching

[@lanceaugust]

During heavy rain the water runs down these narrow streets like a river. Its kind of fun to see that.

[@Omwvlog]

It does. I don't live in the hills and my street looks like a river when we get heavy rain too! Thanks for watching!

[@brober]

Party in the Birds! With Keanu,Toby and Leo. Those were the days.

[@Omwvlog]

That sounds like it would've been a good party! Happy New Year!

[@tacianogentil8586]

Condução simplesmente incrível pelas belezas de Hollywood Hills - EUA, parabéns e por deixar viajar também. Muito obrigado pelo seu importante vídeo.

[@Omwvlog]

Obrigado por assistir! Estou feliz que você tenha gostado deste passeio!

[@naheedahmadahmad.8358]

بیوٹی فل منظر زبردست 👍👌👍

[@Omwvlog]

بہت بہت شکریہ! خوشی ہوئی کہ آپ نے ویڈیو کا لطف اٹھایا۔

[@kellyf5004]

What a great video! Thanks for sharing

[@Omwvlog]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ytjoemoore94]

what no one acknowledges is that every video of how "beautiful" LA is always done when its cloudy out. The intense sunlight on asphalt and concrete bleaches out all the colors and makes everything dull for about 10 months out of the year. This is why Hollywood films in Vancouver!!

[@jimmyleon2983]

I wouldn't want to live in the Hollywood Hills. Open your front door and steep outside into the street. In case of an emergency, you only have one road, one way out of the hills.

[@Omwvlog]

Good points made. Hope you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching

[@richardmorris7063]

The streets are a mess, & no front yards & 6 garbage cans out front not very nice for 4 million & up.

[@Omwvlog]

yah no front yards in these hills. You'd think the streets would be kept nicer

[@juliewalters2930]

I wouldn't want to live there, it's too unkept and dirty. Are all these homeowners lazy? I can't believe the poor condition of the roads... that's really a safety hazard on those narrow streets. At the very least the city should send street cleaners out once a week. Those gutters and curbs will only flood homes with that much trash in and nearby. I can't believe inspectors would approve homes to be built on such an unstable foundation.

[@d.martin7692]

The number of patches in the roads alone would give me pause. A precarious place to live.

[@Omwvlog]

Yah. The roads need major repair!

[@antoniahamilton3201]

And yet, do you spy any unpatched pot holes?

[@tracycarmack9714]

it's a gorgeous area, but those narrow winding roads make me nervous, LOL. Car accidents just begging to happen!!

[@Omwvlog]

Yah it makes me nervous driving them too! 😀 Thanks for watching!

[@shez3530]

im from uk REALLY enjoyed this video make more like this ❤️💎

[@Omwvlog]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! I’ll be doing another one very soon!

[@cherriteasomegacic1001]

drivin out my dreamerz! the day before my bday! .. hope this is sign from the universe! xoxo love flordia girl

[@Omwvlog]

Happy birthday!! Thanks for watching!

[@007modmom]

Enjoyed! I see the street pavement is in the same condition as here in Longview Texas. Beat up, pot holes, patches. America is going to pot. Pray we get our country back soon.

[@Omwvlog]

Glad you enjoyed it! I guess streets need improvement everywhere. Thanks for watching!

[@marklingerfelt4965]

I used to live on Swallow!! ❤ I sold the house to go and live with my husband in Truesdale. I had the greatest time.

[@Omwvlog]

Oh nice! How long did you live on Swallow? Trousdale is great neighborhood! Thanks for watching!
