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.

[@BoomerBlogging]

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!

[@elainebines6803]

You are so lucjy to have those memories. An era that imo will never return

[@Jay-vr9ir]

Do you remember a tv show it was called , ABC The Hollywood Palace , taped at The Hollywood Palace?

[@nyc783]

@@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.

[@Jay-vr9ir]

@@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 .

[@nyc783]

@@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.

[@annsileo9703]

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

[@greeneyes4007]

I can only imagine how fabulous it all was back in the day.. so sad to see it in the condition it is now...thanks Jorden your the best traveling companion!! 😊

[@mischezizza2712]

The art deco buildings are beautiful. Thank you for the tour!!

[@dennismitchell5414]

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

[@Geritopia]

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.

[@Karen.cook424]

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❣️

[@bobbiemassaro1208]

Thank you Jordan..stay safe

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

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.

[@robin5380]

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

[@w.robertjohnson558]

Super excellent overview of old Hollywood indelibly etched in the boards and planks of time-honored- buildings on Hollywood Boulevard. Remarkable! Thank you!

[@boosgamma05]

Ive been watching your old vlogs since 11pm last night

[@martica727]

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....

[@allisonmarlow184]

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.

[@patfrank7345]

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!

[@bonniebrown6960]

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 KZbin 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 ?!! 😮😀😊👍

[@jgiza8888]

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! :)

[@deniseconaway701]

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

[@anneterri8960]

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.

[@andyedge263]

it is much better today than it was 1975 through 2000 or so.

[@TheMocao]

Andy Edge true! It was incredibly rough and full of strip clubs during that period.

[@Secondwindoregon]

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!

[@michaelmyers9010]

That's what happens when you let politicians run things.

[@elainebines6803]

It's in every city in the world, sadly. I hope this pandemic help those that are homeless

[@MrHubbmuscle]

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

[@jan6626]

Awesome walking tour, you can pack in a lot of Hollywood/LA history.

[@mariaday712]

Awesome vlog. Can't wait to see the other part. Take care and stay safe.

[@montanagirl4530]

Great vlog. . . Yesterday seeing photos of armored military vehicles parked along the star walk. . . Crazy times

[@jeffkidd7409]

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.

[@go-goakins1489]

Love the tour of Hollywood Blvd! I stayed at the Roosevelt hotel & walked around there. Saw the Marilyn Monroe mirror 🤟in the hotel

[@camasprairie1369]

My daughter always told me that the Kress Building is/was haunted and workers who worked on renovations in the building were continuously quitting the project because of things they saw and heard while working there. Has anyone else heard anything like that?

[@monsterkxf]

I hear you bro! I lived in downtown Montreal for years until I got tired of the trash and after hours noise, etc. Change is good! 🤘🤘

[@kln58cub]

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.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

I'm not really sure what the city cares about anymore..

[@joycewilliams5231]

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

[@darlenehenry1742]

Awesome Jordan lots of insteasting old history.

[@esthergarcia1373]

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. ❤️🙏🏻

[@AZguy55]

Love me some history. Wonder how many people driving by in their cars even know that these wonderful signs exist for their entertainment? Thanks for the walking tour!

[@andrestamayo6509]

Johnny Grant, the "Unofficial Mayor of Hollywood", was once and actor and can be seen in the movie, White Christmas'. When Bing Crosby's character, goes to New York to see his friend(An Ed Sullivan-type), Ed Harris, to be on his show. Grant, is Ed Harris.

[@jodirauth8847]

Fabulous information thank you so much for all you do

[@jro7741]

Philip Marlo's movies were amazing. You always find the most amazing things to vlog.

[@rosseganjr9402]

Great video 👍 very glad to hear more about Hollywood good luck with your moving

[@debbienorth7182]

Hi Jordan from Perth Western Australia Love your vlogs. I can't blieve a place like Hollywood with its history and glamour (would love to visit one day)has so much graffiti especially a tourist attraction that Hollywood is

[@angeelee9277]

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.

[@lesakeen4993]

I love seeing the historic buildings and learning about the history of Hollywood! It’s so interesting!!

[@MrMalibu84]

I worked at Lee Drugs Hollywood and Highland. It’s now a big Hollywood Souvenir shop. Southwest corner of Hollywood Blvd. lots of character actors came in to have lunch at the counter. 2 of the regulars were Hal Smith ( Otis on Andy Griffith and Alan Hale Jr. ( Skipper on Gilligan’s Island. ) I regularly delivered to Bob Barker who lived on Outpost just north of Franklin. He and Dorthy Joe would shop at the “ Hughes Market. Highland & Yucca.

[@stevemash7505]

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.

[@gregwallace9035]

Thank you for all the work you put into these, love the old Hollywood history 👍

[@yamil.343]

Ur an awesome tour guide. This was quite enjoyable. I miss those days & I’m only 51.

[@seagate1686]

Another great video Jordan! Can't believe all the trash on roads, what a shame. Don't blame you for moving!

[@RedBud315]

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.

[@crazyciara]

I live for this type of content! Watching from Ireland :) Thanks Jordan!

[@PSPCindy]

Love all the Hollywood history you share Jordan :)

[@gatsbysmom0424]

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.

[@lindadanis9568]

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.

[@stephenstephenson1532]

Cool vlog Jordan! Thanks for the tour.

[@annuknowthe1562]

I love that Jordan. I love all of the old Hollywood history. It is so sad to see what it looks like today. I wish it were more like the old days. That history should be celebrated.

[@sammychicken3457]

Thanx Jordon. I absolutely love architecture. Hollywood and or LA have a remarkable variety of architectural styles. Great.

[@jomama5186]

Love the audience mural! Thanks for including that. And for doung this. Loved it !!!

[@MrMalibu84]

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.

Hey Jordan, thanks so much~ this really was interesting & I'm definitely looking forward to pt 2! Thanks also, for including some current day Hollywood realities, which were kinda jarring, compared to how it looked, through your lens, even a year or so ago (I've never been there in person). Wishing you the best in your move, keep healthy & safe. p.s. I was watching "Some Like it Hot" yesterday, & recognized some of the locations due to watching your vlogs!

[@elissaschornstein9399]
