John F. Kennedy's Secret 1960 Los Angeles Hideaway

What a beautiful work of art! Simply stunning..Thanks Jeff🙏

[@n.c.varner9572]

Can you imagine the look on most people's faces today if you even said something like, "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Totally different train of thought today....ME ME ME

Exactly "I can't wear my mask, it's MY freedom

[@mov1ngforward]

Do you even recognize the democratic party? 😫

[@GeorgeSawtooth]

@@dnrmoore4124 God you mask shamers are morons and have no scientific background. I'm a Microbiologist and wouldn't step foot in a room with viruses even with an N95 mask on. Get over yourself and stop being a sheeple. If people choose not to wear a mask, it should be their decision and no one else's. Forcing people to do something is fascism in my opinion.

That building out in the front looks like a juke box I think! An old 60s juke box!

[@johnrambo7630]

That was interesting. I wouldn't have known anything about that building if I drove by it. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@robertmcevoy24]

The Kennedy’s are on my paternal Grandmothers side of my family. I believe today he would be considered a Republican by today’s standards of the Democrat party. The architecture of the building is so cool the cost today would be crazy money. Thanks for sharing Jeff

[@pamelahsmithsmith2366]

I wonder what John Jr would be doing today, if he was alive. Both father and son gone too soon.

[@DeflatingAtheism]

I remember a WalkAway video from a woman who was alive during the Kennedy presidency. She was trembling, absolutely horrified what had happened to the party she remembered from her childhood.

[@leegentry4926]

Democrats back then we're not like now for sure. My grandparents were life long democrats, I'm sure they would have turned there back these days on that party

[@janetceniza8091]

i was 17 in 1960, I remember hearing folks say, there would never be a Catholic President. He was the one the country needed at that time though.

[@first9299]

Now a 2nd catholic Joe Biden is the president and he's an Irish Democrat too. Old prejudices fade away over time Bidens religion never came up like they did for JFK. I wonder if the 3rd Catholic will be a Hispanic Roman Catholic or another Irish Catholic again.

[@JaimeExploring]

The Image of John F. Kennedy sitting on the steps Is touching, beautiful building Design, Thank You for sharing the history!

Great video. I love seeing these little hidden corners of history.

Thank you Jeff you really do your homework. my girlfriend and I are getting coffee and enjoying the video. it's good to see nothing really changed so much.. .

Another place that you'd never know about if you just drove by. Amazing.

[@rhondaz356]

Thanks, Jeff, for that touch of history. It must have always been tough for public figures to hide from prying eyes, but now it's probably almost impossible. thanks for sharing 🙂👏💥

[@theopinion9452]

Let me just point out the obvious;LBJ didn't look too thrilled when JFK said that accepts the nomination of the Dems.

[@409rommel]

Well, that was taken care of eventually....

[@davejohnson3684]

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer! (or something like that)

[@TheOldbsa]

In Dealey Plaza, LBJ dove to the floorboard of his car before the first shot was fired. You will not find a picture of LBJ in Dealey Plaza.

[@dwderp]

Dave Johnson exactly. Johnson hated Kennedy, and Kennedy knew it. But Johnson was probably the most powerful Democrat in Congress at the time and had been for 20 years, so it was believed that this particular team would be more effective than any other.

[@crissdrums3975]

Hes always been miserable

[@ginafriend1690]

Interesting! This building is Awesome! Wish I could see the interior. 🙌 Kennedy 🙌🇺🇲

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

Hi Jeff, what a funny coincidence. This past Sunday I was on Rossmore Ave. looking for a different historic apt. building when I happened to walk by The Mauretania! After reading the historic plaque I decided to do a fast, impromptu vlog about it. Then, today, I decided to catch up on your videos and noticed that you just did an episode about it 10 days ago! What are the odds? I had never heard about this historic building before. I wish I had seen your video before I made my trip. I had no idea Kennedy had sat on those steps. :-)

[@jbenziggy]

Good for you stopping on this location. I was there for only 15 minutes and had to get along to an appointment. I look forward to seeing your “take” on this place. As always I consider comments from you to be like a extra French fry in my McDonald’s bag to be savored. LOL

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

@@jbenziggy LOL, thanks, Jeff :-) Right back at you!

[@j.b.a.124]

Beautiful video. Love to see how the building & the steps looked then & how it looks now. Thank you very much for sharing it.

Wow!! Just a whole bunch of tid bits I didn’t know!! Including all the familiar names of people I didn’t know he was running against to get that nomination!! Thanks Jeff 👍👍

Thanks again Jeff great story, I love art deco . You sir are a master at history like this not to mention a great story teller. Thank you.

Very interesting, thank you, and love when the original photograph is shown as well. Thanks for doing videos on subjects that have not been rehashed over and over again.

[@MrMark2024]

You always have the most interesting videos. Thank you for showing them. I was only one years old in 1960, but what a time in history it must have been . The 1960's, a decade filled with black and white TV's, the great space race to be the first to reach the moon, but also a decade filled with lots of tragedy. Thanks again for sharing this part of history with us.

[@barbaragraham6886]

Such a beautiful building. I wonder if there are any pictures of Jack Haley by the Mauretania? Jack Haley will always be the Tin Man. Thanks for sharing the history of this building.

Still a cool little video! You guys always do an awesome job! Thank you again for all the hard work, time and research you put into these videos! Take care and see ya on the next one, Frank from Philadelphia, PA.

[@anthonydabiere1865]

I have been in love with that building for many many years. Yes, the style is of the Art Deco, but is also a shining star example of the sub-set school of design known as Streamline Moderne. Throughout Los Angeles there are still, to this day a good number of wonderful examples of this special adaptation. Actually not all that far from Rossmore you can find a couple of great larger apartment buildings that showcase very well, and out in Santa Monica on Ocean you can find a glorious hotel that sits I believe near Wilshire Bl and Ocean, (it’s white).

[@sharksport01]

read the book Depression Modern, its hard to find but great information. This building is not Art Deco.

[@TheElvisWorkshop]

That was superb! Love it!

[@raulmacias1311]

History Hunters, A couple of months ago I visited "The Hospital Of The Good Samaritan" in Los Angeles, California. The old hospital, where Senator Robert F. Kennedy died on June 6,1968, is now closed but the general public still, for the time being, has access to the front doors and canopy entrance which was shown the world over during that long day June 5,1968~June 6,1968. A new hospital has been built on the sight and sits next to the original hospital. The street which was located in front of the old hospital has been closed and is now covered with new buildings. To see the original hospital, you must travel on Wilshire Boulevard to Lucas Avenue and turn left left or right north towards W. 6th Street. The original hospital will be on the left hand side, west, of Lucas Avenue. The hospital has been renamed ~ PIH Health Good Samaritan 1225 Wilshire Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90017 which has a new entrance accessible on Witmer Street a block west of Lucas Avenue. I thought you might do a short feature on the hospital.

[@Gigi1111Layna]

Every pic of lbj looking at JFK from behind is sinister and cruel. If a look could kill... Especially on the day of the dastardly murder. Lbj was standing behind JFK in Dallas at the airport and shooting evil looks at the back of JFK'S head and even looks and frowns between the SS drivers Greer and Kellerman, who deliberately slowed down for the shots.

What a cool Art Deco building

[@OnePost909]

Very interesting. Well done. Re 0:15 to 0:22 -- the people we see at the tail end of that segment are, from left to right, Eugene McCarthy, Lyndon Johnson, Ed Muskie. Really only Kennedy could dominate those massive egos and keep them together; within 8 years, McCarthy and Johnson were at each other's throats. A couple of other points -- Kennedy's speech in L.A. wasn't his best hour, it was hurried and over-strident. Nixon watched it and said, "I can beat this guy on TV." Wrong. (Stevenson was a former Illinois governor, not senator; he was the major threat to Kennedy in '60. Symington pronounced his name SIGH ming ton. The photo of Hubert in the arena is from San Francisco in 1964.)
