  • I gathered up a bunch of iconic buildings in GTA 5 and researched a bit about their real life counterpart. By the end of this you'll hopefully learn a little bit about some of these stunning places you often drive past everyday!

    Im sure some of the original GTA 5 developers, photographers, and map designers appreciate these videos. They spent thousands of hours replicating a city, just for most players to drive by each building not caring about it.

    The concrete Skate park on Vannucci beach is a replica of the very famous Venice Beach 1800 beach front walk skatepark which has featured in dozens of pro skater videos, i think the earliest was either the first Powell Peralta or Santa Cruz films around 1985.
    It was a favourite spot of Tony Alva, Tony Hawk in the mid 1980's, also Rodney Mullen, Natas Kaupus, Ed Templeton, Deawon Song have all shot footage there.
    Sky Brown was filmed there just before her entry into the 2020 Olympics.

    The colourful painted hippy area in the Sonora desert is a replica of the famous Salvation Mountain made by the artist Leonard Knight.
    In real life its just a few miles from the Salton Sea, a largely abandoned enormous man made lake in California which is where another GTA building is from.
    The Boathouse (abandoned restaurant) on the southern coast of the lake in Sandy Shores.
    Both the real one and GTA's are abandoned.
    Vice news have done some interesting documentaries on Slab city and Salton Lake California.
