Scott, only you can turn an otherwise tedious wait for car repair into a great “seedy side” of Hollywood Tour

I’m 55 and I lived in Los Angeles county for 6 years as a little kid and Orange County and Riverside County the rest of my life until I left California in 2008. I remember so many places and things about SO CAL. I remember when I was growing up in Huntington Beach we had the freeway killer William Bonin and my friend David was the only survivor of the freeway killer and his accomplices. I also remember so many high profile murder cases and political situations. it was a crazy time growing up in the 60s and 70s and 80s i mean it was fun don’t get me wrong but there was just a lot of things I’ll never forget.

Scott, take a walk like this daily, as much as possible, and you will quickly do very well on youtube. This was great!

The only upside at ALL to being stuck in our houses is that you have the time and gumption to pop out these awesome videos Scott! Fantastic stuff for us movie star/sleaze fans to consume. Thanks so much for these!

This was a cool idea to do a walking tour type thing. Easier to see things than when you are in a van or car. I love seeing this stuff.

My first neighborhood when I moved to LA 20 years ago. Lived in a building on Vista behind the old Denny’s. It was Hooker Central back in those days. Angelyne sightings at the Denny’s were plentiful. I couldn’t find a job so I went to Blockbuster and was hired at minimum wage. Awful job but saw a lot of celebs when they came in to rent VHS movies. Christina Ricci was the first ( very cool and nice ) and would see Kutcher and Tara Reid, Topher Grace and actually gave Eddie Izzard his first Blockbuster card when he was living here while shooting a movie. It was my first experience in LA and I’m glad I had it. Later became a waiter on the Sunset Strip at the old Hamburger Hamlet. Met tons of famous folks there. Some of whom I still know. The Sunset Strip is all but unrecognizable now. Makes me sad but appreciative that I got to see it before it completely changes. Been following you over the years Scott. I hope you can continue sharing your knowledge and passion with us.

Scott, Man I can't get enough of your work, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT !

Enjoyed that, Scott.! Just can't grasp how such a beautiful city(and state, for that matter) can be so absolutely fucked up. I live on the flat plains of the Texas Panhandle and have always thought California was beautiful!

Debbie owned a Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas from 1992-1997 and had a museum there with all the costumes on display.

My old Neighborhood, I use to live on the Halloween house street (N. Orange Grove) I miss that neighborhood! I lived there when they filmed the season for American Horror story and it was a f*cking Nightmare! They would block off the streets and there would be huge production trucks running all day and night. Just give you what it was like, you know when you walk around a State Fair or Carnival and the trucks and generators that the rides are connected to are running and you walk behind or between them and that loud running engine sound with that hot air blowing! Yeah that, right outside your door! Not to mention we had parking permits for the street and we would have to move our vehicles a block away when there is hardly any parking as it is, and yeah Street cleaning days also really make things even worse! One night my gf and I were walking to the Coffee Bean around the corner and they were filming a scene on the side of the Baby sitter house from Halloween, the one where Michael Myers is walking across the street to get Jamie Lee Curtis (Lori Strode). Well we lived on that street so legally we can leave when we wanted. So My gf and I are basically walking around the set with the crew and next thing we know, we hear "ACTION" and the director was filming a shot on the side of the house and my gf and i just casually walk behind the camera like "Oh shit, they are filming!!!" we were laughing the whole night about that, pretty funny. The one cool thing though, I went to leave at night around 9 pm and there were snow banks on the sidewalks and curbs that were pretty much all melted! This was July in southern California. So I went and grabbed some snow and made a snowball and ran back in my place and threw it at my gf! I yelled "it's snowing outside!! She had the WTF look? and ran outside with me while we took pics and video. I once found a dead guy on the corner walking around at 1 am, but I will save that for another time.

The buildings where so interesting back then. Now everything looks so cluttered. Totally enjoyed Vlog, thank you!

Old Hollywood was something. Long gone ... 🎭

I LOVED this. Fascinating. I stayed around Fairfax and Beverly mid March, (Across from CBS) right before the lock down. You make me want to go back...You are a treasure.

Can't tell you how much I enjoy and treasure your videos. Ex passed away recently and your videos bring back alot of memories. Thank you.

Scott you have much a pleasant voice, keep doing the vlogs on classic Hollywood.

OH MAN. THIS VIDEO IS EXCELLENT. When you went to Elm Street AND Haddonfield in ONE video, that blew me away. You are a walking plethora of trivia/info. VERY INTERESTING. I love your channel. Great stuff. Made my day even better.

I am amazed at the enormous amount of cool info you know and share!!! Awesome!!

So I followed you on Google Maps/ Street View as you walked around and the house at 5:28 (next to dog running circles) is in the same condition, same cars, as in your video. I know creepy. But I like to see where you are going and all. Thanks for the video, keep your head up and keep up the great work. Slowly watching all your videos, old and new!

Thanks for the trip down huzzy highway 😂I really enjoyed this vlog you have the best story telling voice I could listen to you all day and feel so comforting to .🥰thank you for sharing .

2:30 Debbie Reynolds Paddle Wheel Hollywood Museum here in Las Vegas is where the most of those liberated items were housed and displayed!

I really enjoy these!

You have an excellent voice for narration Scott!! Seriously...

Love it, Scott. Got a good giggle in when you were saying bless you to the stranger sneezing in the distance 😂

That was a late night, last minute, Rite Aid, I used to hop in while bar hopping in that area when I was younger.

I love THE walk THRU. PLEASE do ONE every chance YOU can. I LOVE it sooooooo. YOUR channel is wonderfully done. Thank YOU

I saw the donated pair of ruby slippers in person at the Smithsonian in 1994. I remebered them looking fairly dull and worn and not having any elaborate display at the time just in a simple glass case you could walk by and overlook. I know that would not be the case now!

Hi Scott, love your videos. I love that you're doing videos of all those places in Hollywood where they're tearing everything down and changing it all. It makes me sad I've never had the chance to visit Hollywood and explore but at least I can see what your posting on your channel. I'm grateful that you are able to document much of it. You know so much about old Hollywood you really should have a tv show about your documenting adventures. You are so knowledgeable and have a way of telling the stories, you have the voice for it. Anyway, Thank you for sharing.

My god you are a wealth of knowledge. I could listen to you all day.

Scott I love this type of video. Ur voice is so soothing. Xx

My first reaction upon seeing the bar name was: "Yikes! That name would never pass in Britain!" Great video Scott!

I love what you do Scott. Your a very wonderful man. Stay safe ❤⚘

In England 'Pikey' is an insulting term for a Gypsy, as taboo as the N word. Great film.

Still have ARCO and RiteAid in CA...All gone on the East Coast. Another Great Vid Scott, Thank You!!

That Thrifty building looks so much nicer than the Rite Aide

I've been a fan of yours since your Find-A-death website. I love your content. Thanks for another entertaining video!

I'm big in horror and I love the fact that you were waiting for your vehicle to be serviced and you just walk down the road that I'll never get to see in person.

My favorite part....*pause* "Molina."

Geez Louise, you go to get your car serviced and give us 17 minutes crammed with tid bits of coolness. You are a walking history lesson & I could listen to you all day. I wish I could give you something on Patreon but we've been hit pretty hard too. It's not much but I sincerely appreciate your efforts. Where else can we go to hear all the fascinating,, funny, sad or sordid, seedy and sometimes gruesome stuff and no one thinks you're a ghoul LOL.

Scott, I have been watching these videos you have been vlogging and they are so informative and interesting! (Me and my husband- Terry Todd, both watch). You really deserve to have a show on television. Keep up the good work!

Scott, thank you so much!!! I love all your videos and the work you do.

the sneeze was funny.."bless you"....good vid as usual

Scott, Ever since you have started doing videos more often you have slowly crept up to my favorite KZread Vlogger ever. I really look forward to seeing what you have in store every time you make a video. Keep them coming!

An awesome tour. Thanks

Wow Scott, what a great video! I learned so much from this. I had never heard of Barbara Payton before and her story is so tragic. The whole video was so informative.

Always enjoy your videos. You always know what you’re talking about. Very interesting and informative video. It’s sad that all those special places aren’t around anymore. Great job as always. God bless you

I love these vlogs. Hearing the history is so interesting!!!!

I'm sorry Scott, I had to laugh!! "GONE... they're still around". LOL!😂😂

Thanks for the tour 🙂

Hey Scott!!!!!!! Always exciting to see an upload. Still my favorite person on the internet

Amazing vids as always, Scott!

This is so interesting!!! Please do more of these!!! 🙏🏻

that was a great vid, thanks Scott

You hit on two of my most obsessed about horror stories! Thank You! Totally geeked out lol

I just loved this. I've loved you Scott since finding Findadeath years ago. I've re-read all of the celebrity deaths there I don't even know how many times. I'm becoming a patreon as soon as I get paid. ❤

Love these!!!

Your videos are fascinating. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Great video and info. Thanks!

You are such an awesome storyteller. I've been binging all of your videos. Love, love, love the ones about Helter Skelter.

Another great video! Thank you!!!

This channel is the BEST!! A city soooo full of history!! I cannot WAIT to come take that helter skelter tour 😫😫. Soon as things open up I'm on the first flight.

I'm so glad I found you have a channel. I've only watched Six Degrees of Helter Skelter, like a million times.

Hey Scott another great vid, your knowledge on this stuff is incredable. Thank you.

Love the video Scott! Thanks for all you do :)

Love these videos and the little trivia bits that pop up, please do more 😀

Awesome job Scott!!! Always love your videos!!! ❤️

scott you are so much fun and so fascinating! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Good stuff, man. Lots of people won't ever make it out west to see the area and take the tours, so you're doing a tremendous service. Hopefully you can keep it together and get touring again.

Your videos are so amazing and very interesting. Thank you!

I could watch your videos all day!!!

I really enjoy these videos Scott. You have so much Hollywood/L.A. knowledge to share.

So interesting, thankyou more please !

Not to long ago I watched the movie/series Hollywood on Netflix. When you showed the gas station it made me think about the gas station brothel part. Many thanks for sharing. edit: PS: been checking out some of your other stuff. Really enjoyed the Rock Hudson interview series. Thanks again.

Scott, you’re a wealth of knowledge! It’s incredible!

Loved this!

Absolutely awesome! So fascinating! Thank you ❤

Thanks for the content

Great stories as always. Thanks Scott.

Great info as always and highly entertaining, thanks Scott, you legend!

I absolutely love your channel. I'm so glad to have found it! I lived in Hollywood for a decade (and know a lot) but you are just a wealth of knowledge! Thank you for sharing it all! PS I loved The Coach and Horses (I'm sure you know the Tarantino/Roth connection)! Such a coincidence, I was looking for some memorabilia of it just a few days ago (couldn't find anything). My friend lived within walking distance to it so we went all the time. I recall walking drunk along the bank's high wall like a tightrope and my friend thinking that was not the greatest idea lol I bet she never knew about the movie locations right next to her apartment! 🙂 Thanks again for sharing!

scott you're so much fun. my husband and i would spend our weekends driving around los angeles looking at these old houses and haunts. we're both native los angelenos and i love it. thank you!

Amazing Vlog Scott. Very informative and great editing.

I really enjoyed this! You should do more like this, it was great!!!

It's always good to take a history trip around Hollywood with you Scott. You do your homework and all this stuff is true. Keep up the good work.

Thanks man for this interesting videos and stuff😀👍👍🎥

Wow! Awesome video. It is amazing the amount of detailed information you possess. Here's hoping that things turn around for you ASAP. Kudos!

Scott, no matter what you are talking about, you make it interesting. You have the most soothing voice, endearing demeanor, and wonderful sense of humor. Listening to you, whether you’re telling another great story or opening packages, is like a (1-way) chat with a very dear friend. Never stop. God bless.

GREAT VIDEO........thanks !

That was fun. Love the up close and personal tours
