I was at that Ralph’s/Ross shopping center a few months ago during the Hollywood CicLAvia and ate at the Kingdom Dim sum. It was pretty good. I hope the Macy’s Bloc closure doesn’t doom the entire shopping center.

A third world look to everything

The problem is all those people doing drugs get government help for their addiction. If they can pass a clean test they should be no help no food stamps money no housing Only clean drug test people gets help. Prop 36 and more strict laws enough of that pathetic life.

I'm glad I don't live in Los Angeles, the amount of people, the ugly architecture and the climate in that part of world is not for me. Great video but I'm going to stay in Alaska

good thing the dogs are in the basket.. i would never walk my dogs there.. too many heroin needles in the grass and side walks

The best you can do for yourself first is to stay away from this toxic ghetto negative place...lol thanks. anyways nice take

Why is it still called "Pershing Square" after old General George Pershing? I know he must've hurt someone's feelings at least once. Change the name!

The ending was the best part lol

what a dumb concept. cleaning and picking up where no one cares. its a restroom out there in skid row. my kids grew up on skid row. there mother dated a herion addict. sad story.

wow los angels is a real crappy city.

THIS WAS ONCE A VERY LOVELY PARK, IT HAS STRUGGLED WITH THE HOMELESS AND MIGRANT WAVES OF UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE. NEED TO THANK GOD FOR THE CHRISTIAN OUTREACH MINISTRIES - A TRULY UPHILL BATTLE!

Dirty country

I can't thank you enough for this video. I live about two hours from Laughlin and have been visiting the area several times a year since the 1980s. We are currently writing a fictional screenplay about a murder that took place in the Nevada desert in 1990. As often as I have visited Laughlin over the years, my memory has grown a little fuzzy of what was in Laughlin around that time. Thank you for refreshing my memory.

Some cool bird's eye view of the parade. I was there, too. I took the E line from East LA and have never seen so many people take the Metro. There were many people getting on at every station until we got to the Historic Broadway station. The parking garage at the Atlantic station was completely full, which I've never seen before either. I got off at the Bunker Hill station, and it was wall to wall people at the elevator lobby, but we only waited about 5 minutes to get on an elevator. I was surprised how well it all worked out, considering the huge wave of people using the LA Metro. I heard Metrolink lines were also packed.

I enjoy your videos. And, it was very thoughtful to give a blanket to that man.👍

GO, Dodgers!

All those HOT 🔥 cops in tight riot gear. Yummy.

great video, being in the crowd and then seeing it from above is cool!

That’s a mean view to watch the parade from. Lucky guy.

Really great video Erik , I work at the AON Building and could see the ending of the parade and those huge crowds.

Awesome!

Been on that drive more than 50 times. Very pretty at any time of year, even the summer. Tom’s place is pretty cool stayed there several times. Very, let’s call it “rustic”. Spread our father’s ashes (via helicopter) around 1000 island lake just a little north and west of Mammoth. Thanks for a brief break for my day.

We love it! Congrats to the Dodgers!

capacity crown at the stadium, almost no one on the bus. and that is two busses in one.

Those security guys at Dodger Stadium don't mess around.

Could also take the Dodger Shuttle. Hop on the train from DTLA to Union Station. It’s free.

How much is an uber ride from downtown LA to dodger stadium

You should do this again when the World Cup comes

Im surprised they dont have a parking structure by now

24:52 No reason to threaten you like that and I would have dared him to call the cops. You were doing nothing wrong. There is a public park there. Ridiculous. He also doesn’t have the right to trespass you. That’s the Dodgers decision not you.

L cop u weren't even in the stadium. They probably enforcing bc it's the world series

The city planned to construct a significant public housing complex years before the Dodgers even considered moving to LA. The city screwed this whole thing up by not properly compensating the residents, and some received nothing at all, and it sucks. The city of LA is to blame, not the Dodger organization. People lost their homes, and sadly, this has happened throughout LA's history.

what a beautiful memory! encapsulated for all of us to see! i remember going to europe for the first time about 8 years ago and the longer time goes by the more i appreciate it!

I hate la

Build the GONDOLA SYSTEM!!!

What are all those scooters about? Can anyone just take one and go? We don’t have anything like that where I live.

Was that security who spoke to you? Bit of a mission to get back.

I had the most fun of my life in the Colorado Belle. The Paddle wheel Cafe was terrific. And really good value. Thanks, Belle. I miss you.

With all the "road time" you could have explored several of the really interesting and historic sites in and around Ely for a much better presentation

I hope they bring it back next year. I'd have loved to go but CicLAvia was already the next day and making the trek to DTLA twice in a row would be a bit much, especially since I'd bring my kid with me.

Ely is a great place to start or end the famous Hwy 50 "loneliest hwy adventure"! Sorry you sound like a paranoid Californian however and missed virtually all the highlights of Ely and the country

I use Ely as a stopover on my summer trips from Arizona to Washington state. Stayed at the same hotel, a little cramped but it's clean with a free breakfast to get you going the next morning.

The dog is so freaking cute!!! Just chillen 😊

It was super fun. So much to see and do..

Also, there is usually a good amount of activity before 10 pm. So when you say dead, you're not talking about 5, 6, 7, or 8pm. This issue of closing earlier is also related to people still working from home. For example, there are a number of local eateries I go to in my area, and they all close now at eitger 2 or 3 pm. Before Covid and working from home, these places were open for dinner, too, until 7 or 8 pm. A more well-known eatery that has done the same is The Pantry. That place was famous for being open 24/7. I spent so many mornings there at 3 or 4 am. after a night out having some great food. Now, I think they close at 5 pm. I hate seeing this, but I mostly blame Covid that killed millions. It's going to take a couple more years of improvement to get back to pre Covid tines. Hey, at least LA Metro is continually improving now. They just announced over 1 million daily boardings and 22 straight months of ridership increases. That's a hopeful sign. I did the Cyclavia today, and it was packed with people. Many, including myself, were using the LA Metro, too, bikes and all. It was a great event. It was my first. Plan to do many more.

To be fair, things had been improving a lot for several years before Covid hit. LA, like many cities, is still suffering from lingering effects of the pandemic and employees still working from home. Places like the Nickel Diner almost escaped Covid, but they closed because they no longer had the customers due to people working from home. This issue of working from home now, going on 5 years, if adding to the negative effects of Covid in places like DTLA. Places like drugstores need those daily workers to spend money. The same is true for mom and pop places like the Nickel Diner. They need to mandate people work 5 days a week in offices again.

Literally feels like I’m watching the apocalypse rn lolol

Love those old theaters.

If the actual "movie stars" in Hollywood didn't snub live stage performing arts actors. The whole seven theaters in that stretch of Broadway would or could compete with New York City for West Coast live shows. Perhaps extending other venues for music too. I'm sure restaurants, bars, and specialty retail shops would follow to fill in those empty store fronts. When you gentrify an area. It's not just one building at a time. But an overview of what the precinct would look like in totality.
