Sorry, me too. I was really pumped to start making this series, but it didn't turn out how I thought. And honestly I wasn't enjoying the process. Maybe I'll reboot it in the future, but I have no plans right now :( . Glad you liked it though! Thanks for the support.
You should continue these. LA is so mythologized -- it's very hard to get an idea of what it's like. I appreciate your perspective in the videos. Finally feels like I'm seeing an realistic, day-to-day picture of Los Angeles. You should cover the different neighborhoods, like the "valley," Silver Lake, Highland Park, etc. Maybe even a video that highlights beautiful LA gardens. IDK. Anyway, here's to hoping.
Love this series! Whether or not you ever get back to making more of them, these two were a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for making such amazingly edited content!
I want more videos for this series! I'm thinking of moving to LA to work on game design (I'm from Brazil) and the two episodes you have just helped me so much. MOOOOOOOAR
Randy, another great qualtiy vid. You could do 100 vids of LA, and still never finish all the cool places here. Maybe try Malibu, Japan Town, Orange County and Pasadena in the future. Theyre great too. Peace
Let me give you a heads about "trendy" people in LA. LA is on forefront of trends in movies, food, culture. Where did Banksy have his first show in Silver Lake? LA. Food trucks?! LA. Movies like Reservoir Dogs that launched careers like Tim Roth? LA. Launched careers from Elton John to NWA? LA. That's why people want to come to LA.
Union station and the metro, Olvera Street, Grand Central Market, The Last Bookstore, and a really cool bridge. Come on you like L.A. a little bit more, right? Awesome video. It's what people in Los Angeles need to see. We don't see much behind windows going 5mph. Keep on.
I hope you can make more video's on this subject, there's so much to see here. I think the key is to travel on foot/bus/train/bicycle/run...anything but behind the wheel. Also, to do it during the weekday while all us working stiff's are at work 20-40 miles away from home. You guy's got the time/resouces/vision...make more stuff and really go deep. Here's a tip. Stay off freeways and explore the streets/boulevards. Keep on.
Hey Randy, Love the videos. You offer a great perspective on the city. I am going to be in L.A. Next week and I am looking for someone to collaborate with while I am there for my channel. I have been to L.A. a few times, but haven't seen much more than the usual spots (hollywood, santa monica, venice, beverly hills) would love to talk about some ideas if you are available next saturday. let me know
Oh no, I’m so sad to see that this series came to an end! My midwestern friends and I started watching this series to get information about life in LA before we move for our animation careers!
Also coming from Michigan, I could never live there but I’m excited to visit. Im sure I’ll be disappointed by the beach bc I’ve spent 20/26 years of my life on the coast of Lake Huron which has super clean beaches in the north.
Great channel... I love L.A. well that's how I grew up. Now sometimes not so much it's sort of love hate relationship now this this place for me. I like your channel
problem with big cities is just that - they're too big to do anything. I live in a place with just over 2 million people & even that's getting too spread out to allow people to enjoy life. Because everything revolves around a tiny hub in the centre of urban sprawl parking is impossible
I don't think people that are gonna travel there from places like Europe would want to go to places where "you feel like you're walking in a big place in history" or older places. I think they would want to see the more modern places.
Love the series! One thing I'd like to ask you is to turn down the music a little. At times it really fot hard to understand what you were saying. Especially towards the end :)
Can you please let me know what's the name of the street at the beginning of the video please. Where you can see the Downtown L.A. skyline? And cross streets please if posible. It's at :50 on the video. Thank you very much. I gave you a thumbs up 👍!
nice work dear Randy.. informative relaxed and with a personal touch but not to much.. Best regards from Croatia/Zadar .. keep filming.. am watching you from today on ;) p.s. Which area of LA do you live in ?;
Lived in Eagle Rock for more than 30 years now and will never move. There is no perfect place but our place is way way better than most in weather, employment and entertainment.
Awww come on Junior, LA is fabulous. Yes it's a pain in the ass with the traffic Etc but there's nowhere like LA. I haven't lived in Southern California for years but visited again last year and stayed in Hollywood and was all over the place and I love love love L A. I should have moved there when I was young but now it's too late. I know it's probably different when you live there after awhile you probably get sick of a lot of things, but I am definitely an LA person.( and I'm not remotely trendy.) You're very good, by the way. ( and this will probably gross you out, but you're adorable. Lol. )
@@Roadtriprandy22 actually we moved back to my hometown of Rochester New York, where the weather sucks so I left there over 30 years ago and have lived in South Florida for all that time. I now live in Delray Beach Florida which is between Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach about 15 miles either way. I live a couple miles from the ocean and its definitely not too shabby. Much much much more affordable than California. Thanks for getting back to me bud!
This series was the most exciting I've ever come across when i was searching for a realistic picture of LA, so imagine the misery when i found out it.s over after 2 episodes 😅 i know chances are you won't continue it after all this time, but maybe this comment will make u change your mind :D
ahhhh. I hate disappointing the people who like this series. Thank you for watching and I'm glad you appreciated it so much. I had a lot of ambition and hopes for this series when I started making it and then after I finished editing the 2nd episode I realized I wasn't enjoying it at all. It wasn't the best time in my life/work to be doing it either. The good news is LA isn't going anywhere. So IF, in the future, I feel like trying this again, I can pick up where I left off. Thanks again for your support. :)
Hey Randy- I am relocating here in a few weeks and this really helps. I would love to meet you and join you for a tour of the city if you are up to it.
I agree with you, nothing in LA is impressing me, it looks dark, messy, unorganized, old. I was surprised to see there are no big signs on stores, You don't see from far, but only when you get near.
L.A. is congested with people that come from other places that "hate" L.A., then they complain about the congestion that they create. Unfortunately these people couldn't find or create beauty where they came from, or they were underappreciated for their creative talent, so they come here to try to make it. When they do, they complain about how they don't like it here. Easy solution, embrace the beauty (which effectually is what this guy is positioning this series to do), or move back home and tell us why the place that you left was so great. I really enjoyed the production value of these first two episodes, but it was really grating to hear that opening about how much he doesn't like it here. Maybe it's just the approach.
Thank you. That was my goal with the series. Although I didn’t keep the series going, I’ve definitely learned to appreciate LA more the longer I’ve been here.
one night we had reports from the news stations a plane had crashed on the 6th street bridge, they later reported it was actually a movie scene being filmed. there was also a high speed chase that ran through filming on the bridge
The new one has been built, but I think it’s still closed. I drove by it the other day but couldn’t get on the street. Edit: Looks like there will be a grand reopening party for it in July.
like i said from the other video! l.a is a great place to live! and its no worse than anywhere else alot to do and see, yes its hard,yes its expensive, but if you work hard and stay focused you can do it, may have to work a few jobs or have roomates, but its doable, plus theres the great weather all yr which is great for me because i hate cold, then theres the beautiful catalina island. which has been compared to the south of france but cheaper to get there, ive been here 30 yrs and i dont ever want to live anywhere else. and im tired of people running down hollywood and l.a. since ive been here from the east coast ive had more friends than i ever did back there and more people willing to help me out. so I LOVE L.A!
Randy, it's not a good idea to make generalizations about Angelenos or any other group. I'm an Angeleno, born and raised. And while I sometimes have trouble making up my mind on what to do, I'm not obsessed with being trendy. It's just not me. Also, if you had visited Pershing Square around lunchtime on Wednesdays, you would see what it is being used for, aside as a skating rink during the winter season.
Why haven't they expanded their Subway? ..........seems ridiculous given the size of LA........in NYC and London....you can go anywhere. It would solve their traffic problems too
What happened to this series? I was hoping by now there were going to be a lot more neighborhoods :(
Sorry, me too. I was really pumped to start making this series, but it didn't turn out how I thought. And honestly I wasn't enjoying the process. Maybe I'll reboot it in the future, but I have no plans right now :( . Glad you liked it though! Thanks for the support.
Aww, hope you start again soon!!!
But did you learn to appreciate your city?
Yeahh more neighborshood huh come to Crenshaw/south central or East La FOH
Yeah :(

I live in LA and I like everything but the traffic lol.
uugh LA is gross AF
I live in Phoenix but man I’ve always wanted to live in L.A. I feel like Phoenix is just L.A. without the beach, attractions and prestige.
the legend phoenix is a mini L.A🤝
Love this series! Whether or not you ever get back to making more of them, these two were a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for making such amazingly edited content!
Thanks for the support Gabe.
Make more of these man! The two you have are great!
Thanks, I appreciate that.
I love LA
i know right the beach is right there and it's always perfect outside
I want more videos for this series! I'm thinking of moving to LA to work on game design (I'm from Brazil) and the two episodes you have just helped me so much. MOOOOOOOAR
Thanks Igor! Hope you enjoy LA if you move here.
Hi Igor, what do I need to learn to do game design?
you totally need to do EP 3, BEB HILLS, COMPTON, BREA, PASADENA, MALIBU, VENICE, AND SO ON
She’s way too scared 😂
Compton
What's EP 3?

Dude how do you not have a ton more views? Your content is great! Subscribed.
Thank you! Trying to make more videos soon.
I'm moving to LA in September, so your videos helping me a lot to work harder for getting there!
Glad to hear that! Do you know what area you're looking to move to yet?

Sorry! Let me know if I can answer any questions.
Best travel films I've ever seen. Very down low and honest.
so many "yup's" while watching this video. love this series. doing good work man.
appreciate it!
I wished I saw your videos before I went to LA.
Super helpful and love your genuine opinions on the areas!
thanks!
So great video and quality of video editing! Keep going and we wanna see more about LA pros- cons!
Also coming from Michigan, I could never live there but I’m excited to visit. Im sure I’ll be disappointed by the beach bc I’ve spent 20/26 years of my life on the coast of Lake Huron which has super clean beaches in the north.
Depends which one you visit. I can't deny Southern California has some nice ones.
I really like this series. You should keep making videos.
Thanks, Wasif!
i love los angeles... i fly there every summer from cleveland!
Very detail, well thought out and really good research. I really enjoyed the the video.
Thanks, Phillip!

+rawrritsraquel Thanks Raquel! I appreciate that.
It's cool that you people that don't live hear I see this stuff everyday
Eggslut is a tourist trap... no one that goes to grand central market often would ever wait in that line
So blessed to live here in la

I agree. A lot of people say it's too quiet there, but I like it. And you're still really close to everything.
hey Randy - can you do a video on the best neighborhoods to live in in LA?
i just subscribed. i like your channel. i love your shots of the skyline of LA
thank you!
What kind of video editing program you used in this video? Answer appreciated.
I used Adobe Premiere Pro
Please do more! episode 3 please

Damn son, you put a lot of work into this vid. This is awesome
thank you! yes it was a ton of work haha
I would never live west of downtown 😂 local angeleno here. I've lived in East Los my whole life and love the neighborhoods around me
The only thing amusing about LA is the 6th street bridge but only on TV.
Woh, the Last Book Store was amazing!

Is that bridge really not there anymore? Moving to La at the end of the month!
Yeah I believe the new one is currently being built right now.
You like it so far? I'm moving to West L.A., soon.

Hey, are you ever gonna make more of these? I love this series
No plans right now. Sorry. Maybe in the future. I appreciate you watching them though. :)
Road Trip Randy okay, thanks anyways! (:
Amazing!
I need so much more episodes!!!!!
Good tunes you got there at 3:30 man! You should let me send you similar beats to that one for future vids
I'm always looking for new music. You have a website or anything?
So...that bridge still exists in 2022? Or it collapsed?
The new one has been built, but I think it’s still closed. I drove by it the other day but couldn’t get on the street.
Edit: Looks like there will be a grand reopening party for it in July.
The fact you used an elevator to go up one floor told me everything I needed to know about you.
Cool. Personally, I try not to write off a person’s entire character based on 3 seconds of a random TH-cam vid. But that's just me.
People kinda tend to not appreciate the city they were born in and outsiders just love that city
That bridge is cool
Very nice and cool video.
Thanks Tony
Take me there now!!!!
Good stuff, thank you
thanks!
Nicely done Randy
thank you!
did they film greese under that bridge?
like i said from the other video! l.a is a great place to live! and its no worse than anywhere else
alot to do and see, yes its hard,yes its expensive, but if you work hard and stay focused you can do it, may have to work a few jobs or have roomates, but its doable, plus theres the great weather all yr which is great for me because i hate cold, then theres the beautiful catalina island. which has been compared to the south of france but cheaper to get there, ive been here 30 yrs and i dont ever want to live anywhere else. and im tired of people running down hollywood and l.a. since ive been here from the east coast ive had more friends than i ever did back there and more people willing to help me out. so I LOVE L.A!

True about Chinatown and Little Tokya (both cool places) but Olvera Street was in the video.

Sorry Heather!
whats ur gear? also make more. love ur coverage
Thank you! Canon 60d. Iphone 6s....hoping to make more videos soon!
Love your videos! :D
+Benjamin Ansari Thanks Benjamin!
I wish you would have made more videos
There’s literally no one in the metro! I wish that happened here in San Francisco. Here I’m getting pushed 😂
hahaha
Transplants that live on the west side never like LA because you don’t know the real LA! Native angelenos feel blessed to live here.
Why haven't they expanded their Subway? ..........seems ridiculous given the size of LA........in NYC and London....you can go anywhere. It would solve their traffic problems too
Newyork has central park and Bryant Park which are better than all of Los Angeles park and have more visitors and tourist
Just discovered this series. Shame you had to stop
Sorry for the repost. TH-cam was doing some weird things.
New channel? I asked because there are only 2 episodes.
PLEEASSSE keep doing these
That beat at the end tho
I still like it! And it’s from the TH-cam free library if I remember correctly.
Where are the rest of the neighbourhoods??? I'd like to see more from you!
Where's episode 3 Randy??
Where are the rest of the neighborhoods ? :(
Not a fan of LA too! I prefer NYC! Thanks for the tour Randy!
Did you film dark side of Downtown LA ?. I'll bet it was your first and last time too
As i always said. God gives bread to those with not teeth . You are lucky for being there would give it all to be there
