So I've been in his childhood home, and it hasn't been updated at all since the late 80s and is still owned by his mom. I just went to see the outside of it but his uncle was there taking care of it and he took me on a tour and told me old stories of Kurt as a kid. Being a dad of a young boy now, those stories really got to me and reminded me that he was just a fucking dude like anyone else. That house had energy, had a power to it ... and right down the street basically next door is the infamous bridge that he used to hang out under. Yeah, it was one of the most incredibly odd days of my life, and it's something I'll always remember.
My friends lived there in the early 70's, the house belonged to Philip Ahn, a popular Korean actor. The windows you are talking about are one large room, The kitchen had a red leather vintage crescent shaped booth and red formica table. There was a very large, heavy library table in the living room by the stairs. Many beautiful memories listening to lilting music from the Bowl. The elevator didn't always work, imagine carrying groceries. One neighbor was Adriana Caselotti, the voice of Snow White, we would visit with her.
Philip Ahn! Yeah, he was “Master Khan” in “Kung Fu”!! I loved that program as a kid in the 70’s. One of the greatest TV series ever! Wow, didn’t know Kurt Cobain lived in Master Khan’s old gaff! You learn something new every day. And I’ve got quite a few hip hop and House tunes that sample Adriana Caselotti singing “Whistle While You Work”. Maybe I should dig them out and do a MegaMix!
The fact that the french graffiti on the restroom under the stairs is almost 23 years gives you the sense of how much time the house it´s been abandoned
I know the family that owns the house where he sadly died and even though he didn't die in the house but anyone would say its still amazing just to hang out in the house he owned. My friend has even found some belongings of Kurt's in some hidden places no one knew about and also some things technically owned by kurt like furniture and such came with the house when it was sold. I do have pictures to prove it and not just pics of inside the house but me inside the house.
To be any place where Kurt Cobain lived and created is just wow!! It's like you can feel his presence there, even before you showed, then and now. So glad Scott was there with you to experience it all. So cool!!
Why doesn't Courtney do that for his fans, make museums out of each property, a free museum! Plus restore his childhood home. So much money she stole and nothing good to come out of it.
@@NPK476 nailed it! Had he lived, no one would give af about that guy. He was an awful songwriter and mediocre guitar player. The people who look at this guy as if he was some profound, otherworldly being make me laugh.
@@JoKiR90 I get your point on worshipping but Kurt Cobain is a melodic genius and is one of the best songwriters of all time. Honestly if you believe its so crap why don't you create some music and we'll see how successful you are.

Though, I don't know when this video this was filmed, the home did list or sale in the spring. All they needed was an agent or SUPRA key/lockbox code to gain access.
I always considered Nirvana to be one of the last mainstream bands to create original live music, after the 90's it feels like everything is a rehash or a remix, I just remember how different and unique Nirvana was coming to the mainstream.
oh geeze. So says the fans of every decade of music. All music, including grunge, was based on the music before it. It's the same chords arranged differently. It's you that perceives it differently.
@@russtomas4461 Wrong. Stop listening to the music and listen to the words. The boomers were writing music about totally different ideas or cultural norms and changes their generation experienced, same goes with generation x. No two generations are alike,
@@map3384 you can’t tell Russ that he’s wrong, and then ignore his point (the music) and tell him to listen to the words (something Russ didn’t even mention). Words are not music, they’re something added as an afterthought, once the music is complete. Kurt’s “words” were nonsensical various lines of poetry, that were jammed together from different poems he wrote. Absolutely none of his songs make any sense from a “listen to the words” standpoint. The music, as Russ said, is just a derivative of prior pop music. Kurt, himself, called his music pop music, even going as far as saying that Smells Like Teen Spirit was a ripoff of Louie Louie. Their songs are very basic, verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-end formats, written around mainly 5ths (power chords), in 4/4 (the entire format of a pop song).
What a lot of people don't realize is that kurt already had most of in utero songs already down in 90 and 91 but he did change lyrics up and even parts of the actual music.. but he also did write a few whole songs while living in California like heart shape box and a few others but songs pennyroyal tea and dumb and few others can be traced back during never mind s early days and even before that.. This is why I thank Tracy bc she allowed kurt to stay home and not go to work and it gave him so much free time to create music.. RIP Kurt you are a legend and we all miss you
@@xx7secondsxx thank you 🙏🏻 been a huge Kurt & Nirvana fan since the 90s and wish I could of met him.. luckily I met Dave bc Dave Grohl bought his first home here on the Outer Banks of NC and would come and hangout at a place called Mex-Econos and can be seen with the hat in some footage and pictures.. Dave was so chill an laid back an hang with us like a regular guy an his sister Lisa would come as well lol she would work the door some nights lol his mom Virginia never came lol she likely said back at the house an NC is the reason he loves BBQ and why he makes it now lol
I remember about 20+ years ago, as a Nirvana-obsessed teenager, reading Michael Azzerad's biography of Cobain and the band and reading about Kurt's time in LA and the composition of 'In Utero'. So interesting to finally put real images to the locations mentioned in the book. Fascinating video.
Matchless photo match-ups, Michael! 🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏Many have travelled to this house, but no one has shown us the inside--and in such an impeccable, respectful way. Top tier!
I loved the man’s music. I can surely relate to it. His house is a reflection of the life he was living, a total train wreck. There just seemed no order in his life. No controlling the spiral which ultimately lead to his death. What a loss.
As a recovering opiate addict, no matter how much of an methodical entity you may start out as, once you're in full junkie-mode, "you couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery" as our friends across the pond would say.
It’s hard to believe there’s nobody who wants to restore this property based on its location alone? I assume it’s due to some court room bullspit maybe? Sad
I would never live there imagine buying 400 hundred dollars of food at the supermarket and carrying it up to the House. You would need a nap after you were done.🤣🤣🤣
@Pixie nope! House still listed for sale and county records show no sale!!! Just bc she bought a house in the Hollywood hills doesn’t mean she bought this house. There’s article after article talking about the house she actually did buy, which is not this. Where are you guys getting this incorrect info from?!?
Michael, thank you for this video. Kurt Cobain was an extraordinary soul who absolutely adored and loved his daughter. From photos and videos of him holding Frances, was his happiest moments in his life. His presence is inprinted in that home. Great video Michael!
Bro when you lined up the picture with the bookshelf where he was standing it gave me the chills it looked like he was really there in front of you I like how lined the pictures of with the frame of your video. Just came across your page rn from recommended you got my sub now 👍🏼
Dude. Great fkn video!! I love how you show the area and then the pics of Kurt that match up with where you are in the house. Really cool bro!! Greetings from Melbourne ,Australia!
I never knew you were actual friends with scott. I've heard you mention his name during the live streams. But that's cool you guys did this video together
@@rebeccaofsunnybrookfarm6698 just cause it was documentary about it doesn’t mean she did it , nobody knows what happen stop making assumptions on peoples lives just cause u was fans , you on the outside looking in you have no idea what was going on in they relationship so therefore you shouldn’t make assumptions
I love that you were able to get i there. I envy you. Great, great video. What's interesting is im teetering on "wow,this is so cool" to feeling a bit sad. You including photos makes it real that these were real human beings not just people on a record album (if that makes any sense) . Thank you!!
I was so excited when Scott appeared 😊 I like watching both of your videos, so I was thrilled when I got two in one. I loved the energy you both brought.
The state of that house is depressing, it might never get fixed up back there (particularly when it’s still valued a 2.5 million 🙃). I recently worked at another well known artists current studio back that way and saw the tower. It’s a really vibey nook. Had no idea Kurt ever lived there. LA is full of these hidden houses with history.
Great job bro! I'm not sure if you know, but there's loads of "hidden stairs" in LA, especially up in the hills, as well as Echo Park, Silverlake, Los Feliz, etc. Lots of awesome views and interesting history, maybe even some ghostly stuff for you 😊. Plenty of info online if you wanna check them out dude!
It that taken me years to realize that when we went on vacation, we would drive through Kurt Cobains home town. This episode is like Crack, I can't stop watching it. I just added the video to my "NIRVANA" collection.
why did California get like this. The gov't people and g.s better pony up. who made a ton and did not help the local people restitute. get the bad foreigners out of there. All films, employee owned, crew also being being part of the profit margin, wallstreet,(unless it is stock options for employees.) close the borders. People who work and don't know what they are doing. People who know what they are doing get abandoned. Why no one cares?
Thanks Michael - you both did such an amazing job. As someone who was 15/16 when Nirvana were around growing up in Wales, seeing this is both fascinating and emotional. The overlapping of photos really brought the place to life again. Kurt touched so many people through his art/music...very much wish he was still around. I understand the bath in the house was used for the CD disc art for In Utero with a model sitting with legs hanging over the side. I have discovered both you and Scott through this. Can't wait to seek out more of your work.
The house has a really nice feel about it. Seeing the photos of Kurt with his child made me sad though. To think on the surface he had it all, yet still couldn't find inner peace. As a recent father I found it extra sad also. Especially with the big smile on his face with his baby.
This video gave me chills thinking about the awesome history made in this house. It's amazing. That's the closet he wrote so much awesome music. Just incredible
This video just makes me miss Kurt and Nirvana even more. Such a cool house, wish I could buy it and fix it up. It would be nice if someone would...who appreciated Kurt Cobain.
Yes Lamont and now there's another man who goes by Ron from Faces of the Forgotten, he is super chill like all, but go check out his TH-cam channel and come on in a let him know Regina sent you all over.. it's addicting...
You can see the nail in the wall where that heart thing was hanging on the wall above their bed. This whole tour is fascinating, yet sad. I’m a new subscriber, not sure how I got here, I was searching for and watching otzi the iceman videos...but I’m definitely glad I clicked.
That's what I've got my eye on when i see a space comparing to a photo taken long ago. I try to see if there is anything still visible from the photo whether it is stone wear on brickwork or whatever
This guy has to be Jim Carrey's younger brother, his voice and mannerisms remind us of Carrey so much. Great video, keep them coming, we'll be watching!
Every time he’d come back from walking up, he said things like this is breath taking, and my legs get shaky doing this...I thought the camera was gonna fall and crack, and the theme song would just randomly start playing ending the video.
the house is beautiful in its own right, such awesome features, the windows and that lizard stone thing in the wall rocked not to mention the view! Awesome feeling place
I loved this upload so much! If I could afford it I would love that house. Its perfect! As a long time diehard kurt fan to see his history is a blessing. Thank you Michael! 💫🍁🙂 ps I'm from Kurt's home state and my parents lived in Aberdeen around the time kurt did when he was a kid.
Surprised you could actually go in the house without the neighbors calling the cops! Sad to see it run down and vandalised, hope somebody fixes it up and lives in it!

Yeah, I lived in Aberdeen for a while. It’s definitely an austere place in general.
My friends lived there in the early 70's, the house belonged to Philip Ahn, a popular Korean actor. The windows you are talking about are one large room, The kitchen had a red leather vintage crescent shaped booth and red formica table. There was a very large, heavy library table in the living room by the stairs. Many beautiful memories listening to lilting music from the Bowl. The elevator didn't always work, imagine carrying groceries. One neighbor was Adriana Caselotti, the voice of Snow White, we would visit with her.
After reading this I looked him up. I remember the actor you speak of. How fascinating. If walls could talk hey.
This story is AWESOME.
Philip Ahn! Yeah, he was “Master Khan” in “Kung Fu”!! I loved that program as a kid in the 70’s. One of the greatest TV series ever! Wow, didn’t know Kurt Cobain lived in Master Khan’s old gaff!
You learn something new every day.
And I’ve got quite a few hip hop and House tunes that sample Adriana Caselotti singing “Whistle While You Work”. Maybe I should dig them out and do a MegaMix!
That’s so cool wow
Best story ever ❤
Can't believe a property like that has been vandalised. That should be restored as a piece of grunge history.
Wouldn't vandalizing it be considered pretty grunge, though? Or is that punk? IDK...I get my genres mixed up...
I'm actually surprised it wasn't worse, like a ton of broken windows and carvings in the wood.
I love it It's is grunge and punk as it should be, Cobain would be rolling in her grave if he founds out his house was turned into a museum lol
They should make it a nirvana museum
Kurt used to vandalize rooms hotels walls you name it so it ain't a problem
Seeing his room and all the personal pictures made it so much more emotional and personal this was really good video editing
For being abandoned for so long, it's still in good shape.
It's worth money. People maintain it.

I always considered Nirvana to be one of the last mainstream bands to create original live music, after the 90's it feels like everything is a rehash or a remix, I just remember how different and unique Nirvana was coming to the mainstream.
Absolutely
I'm a 80's kid, but I will say that after the 90's the music definitely died ..
The 90's was the last decade of real Rock music...
oh geeze. So says the fans of every decade of music. All music, including grunge, was based on the music before it. It's the same chords arranged differently. It's you that perceives it differently.
@@russtomas4461 Wrong. Stop listening to the music and listen to the words. The boomers were writing music about totally different ideas or cultural norms and changes their generation experienced, same goes with generation x. No two generations are alike,
@@map3384 you can’t tell Russ that he’s wrong, and then ignore his point (the music) and tell him to listen to the words (something Russ didn’t even mention).
Words are not music, they’re something added as an afterthought, once the music is complete. Kurt’s “words” were nonsensical various lines of poetry, that were jammed together from different poems he wrote. Absolutely none of his songs make any sense from a “listen to the words” standpoint.
The music, as Russ said, is just a derivative of prior pop music. Kurt, himself, called his music pop music, even going as far as saying that Smells Like Teen Spirit was a ripoff of Louie Louie. Their songs are very basic, verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-end formats, written around mainly 5ths (power chords), in 4/4 (the entire format of a pop song).
What a lot of people don't realize is that kurt already had most of in utero songs already down in 90 and 91 but he did change lyrics up and even parts of the actual music.. but he also did write a few whole songs while living in California like heart shape box and a few others but songs pennyroyal tea and dumb and few others can be traced back during never mind s early days and even before that.. This is why I thank Tracy bc she allowed kurt to stay home and not go to work and it gave him so much free time to create music.. RIP Kurt you are a legend and we all miss you
Brilliantly said!
@@xx7secondsxx thank you 🙏🏻 been a huge Kurt & Nirvana fan since the 90s and wish I could of met him.. luckily I met Dave bc Dave Grohl bought his first home here on the Outer Banks of NC and would come and hangout at a place called Mex-Econos and can be seen with the hat in some footage and pictures.. Dave was so chill an laid back an hang with us like a regular guy an his sister Lisa would come as well lol she would work the door some nights lol his mom Virginia never came lol she likely said back at the house an NC is the reason he loves BBQ and why he makes it now lol

I remember about 20+ years ago, as a Nirvana-obsessed teenager, reading Michael Azzerad's biography of Cobain and the band and reading about Kurt's time in LA and the composition of 'In Utero'. So interesting to finally put real images to the locations mentioned in the book. Fascinating video.
Matchless photo match-ups, Michael! 🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏Many have travelled to this house, but no one has shown us the inside--and in such an impeccable, respectful way. Top tier!
So True!!! FaF
I loved the man’s music. I can surely relate to it. His house is a reflection of the life he was living, a total train wreck. There just seemed no order in his life. No controlling the spiral which ultimately lead to his death. What a loss.
That spirals name: Courtney. Lol
You think thats exactly how it looked when Kurt was there? Lol
As a recovering opiate addict, no matter how much of an methodical entity you may start out as, once you're in full junkie-mode, "you couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery" as our friends across the pond would say.
You got played, he was a millionaire,. AOC style
Should be preserved as a MUSEUM!!! Historical Monument
@wesley tan Kurt would've hate all that idolatry around him and his memory.
I totally agree. Rock history
@wesley tan Just for the architecture itself. Forget about the owners.
@@davidleewrath6919 couldn't agree more!
Nope
Geeeez....the longer I watch towards the ending there, the more I feel like that whole property just reeks off the darkness of the early 90s....
Sunny LA is a very dark place.
Thanks for the video. Great job overlaying the photos in the rooms! Well done, gents.
Thank you for the video. It was fun to combine the places in the photographs with real places.
It’s hard to believe there’s nobody who wants to restore this property based on its location alone?
I assume it’s due to some court room bullspit maybe? Sad
I would never live there imagine buying 400 hundred dollars of food at the supermarket and carrying it up to the
House. You would need a nap after you were done.🤣🤣🤣
Courtney is probably hiding a body there.
@@darrenkellman5780 residents can use the elevator he said at beginning
@Pixie nope! House still listed for sale and county records show no sale!!! Just bc she bought a house in the Hollywood hills doesn’t mean she bought this house. There’s article after article talking about the house she actually did buy, which is not this. Where are you guys getting this incorrect info from?!?
I heard Kurts daughter bought it
Oh, how wonderful. Scott on tape is another of my fave TH-cam channels.
Scott is awesome and so are you. My response to this video is just the word WOW 😯. SO COOL TY!
Michael, thank you for this video. Kurt Cobain was an extraordinary soul who absolutely adored and loved his daughter. From photos and videos of him holding Frances, was his happiest moments in his life. His presence is inprinted in that home. Great video Michael!
I'm with you Scott. Huge fan too. Never understood why you can't like both.
Love all all your Grim Life Collective adventures!
Wow it´s insane that the In Utero house is not a Museum of Rock! amazing!
Loved the Scott On Tape collaboration!! The house reminds me of Seven Years In Tibet...
This location Rocks!! And a totally awesome crossover video! Thanks for ANOTHER rad adventure, Michael!
Bro when you lined up the picture with the bookshelf where he was standing it gave me the chills it looked like he was really there in front of you I like how lined the pictures of with the frame of your video. Just came across your page rn from recommended you got my sub now 👍🏼
Gave me the chills too
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.
-Kurt Cobain
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dude. Great fkn video!! I love how you show the area and then the pics of Kurt that match up with where you are in the house. Really cool bro!! Greetings from Melbourne ,Australia!
I never knew you were actual friends with scott. I've heard you mention his name during the live streams. But that's cool you guys did this video together
You guys say that your amazed that house is still standing...
I’m amazed that Courtney is still standing ..
Great comment!
She sacrificed Kurt to advance her career. #CourtneyGodseesyourugly
Why do people think she killed him?
@@rebeccaofsunnybrookfarm6698 just cause it was documentary about it doesn’t mean she did it , nobody knows what happen stop making assumptions on peoples lives just cause u was fans , you on the outside looking in you have no idea what was going on in they relationship so therefore you shouldn’t make assumptions
She'll get hers if she's guilty.
OMG you and Scott. This is EPIC!
Thanks for sharing 🤙 it’s amazing how the house looks,
Loved his music gone to soon.
February 20/67✌🏻same day I took my first breath 🙏
I would love to see pictures of this house when the original owners lived in it. I am sure it was pretty spectacular. Interesting video
This was extra special,truly
awesome.
I love that you were able to get i there. I envy you.
Great, great video.
What's interesting is im teetering on "wow,this is so cool" to feeling a bit sad. You including photos makes it real that these were real human beings not just people on a record album (if that makes any sense) . Thank you!!
I was so excited when Scott appeared 😊 I like watching both of your videos, so I was thrilled when I got two in one. I loved the energy you both brought.
The state of that house is depressing, it might never get fixed up back there (particularly when it’s still valued a 2.5 million 🙃). I recently worked at another well known artists current studio back that way and saw the tower. It’s a really vibey nook. Had no idea Kurt ever lived there. LA is full of these hidden houses with history.
Dduuuddeee my two main channels in one!!❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭
This is so cool. Wish this could be done for Layne Staley’s place. I’m sure someone lives there. It’d be a dream come true.
it was an apartment in seattle
Great job bro! I'm not sure if you know, but there's loads of "hidden stairs" in LA, especially up in the hills, as well as Echo Park, Silverlake, Los Feliz, etc. Lots of awesome views and interesting history, maybe even some ghostly stuff for you 😊. Plenty of info online if you wanna check them out dude!
rest in peace kurt cobain you will always be remembered & loved by your nirvana fans & everyone in this world 🖤
Overlaying the bed pics on the actual spot was awesome. So cool. 💯💯💯💯💯
It that taken me years to realize that when we went on vacation, we would drive through Kurt Cobains home town. This episode is like Crack, I can't stop watching it. I just added the video to my "NIRVANA" collection.
It’s a beautiful house/property. Someone needs to fix it up. It’s kinda sad that it’s abandoned and rotting away.
why did California get like this. The gov't people and g.s better pony up. who made a ton and did not help the local people restitute. get the bad foreigners out of there. All films, employee owned, crew also being being part of the profit margin, wallstreet,(unless it is stock options for employees.) close the borders. People who work and don't know what they are doing. People who know what they are doing get abandoned. Why no one cares?
The hell with living there imagine getting home with 3 loads of groceries lol
yeah, but if you could use the elevator it wouldn't be that bad. certainly not convenient though. lol
Lol
I guess a small pull wagon should work ?
Pulley system
They likely have it delivered.
Thanks Michael - you both did such an amazing job. As someone who was 15/16 when Nirvana were around growing up in Wales, seeing this is both fascinating and emotional. The overlapping of photos really brought the place to life again. Kurt touched so many people through his art/music...very much wish he was still around. I understand the bath in the house was used for the CD disc art for In Utero with a model sitting with legs hanging over the side. I have discovered both you and Scott through this. Can't wait to seek out more of your work.
The house has a really nice feel about it. Seeing the photos of Kurt with his child made me sad though. To think on the surface he had it all, yet still couldn't find inner peace. As a recent father I found it extra sad also. Especially with the big smile on his face with his baby.
This video gave me chills thinking about the awesome history made in this house. It's amazing. That's the closet he wrote so much awesome music. Just incredible
It was so cool to go through the house and just talk about the house from out side.
This video just makes me miss Kurt and Nirvana even more. Such a cool house, wish I could buy it and fix it up. It would be nice if someone would...who appreciated Kurt Cobain.
I'm thinking about it!
@@dxcpt if you do, I’d be pleased to stop by sometime.😊
They are tearing down the house thank god you guys did this video
Loved the video and I love Scott on Tape, I SCREAMED to see you both.
You guys are great . Thanks for taking me to all these great places in America I will never get to ☺️
hexersizing with michael and scott who will pass out first at the top. good video and the surprise guest was awsome .keeping it grimm AWSOME
Another great video this time about the legend Kurt Cobin and Nirvana Thank you I was born on April 5...... I greet you from Slovakia✌👍💪
Wow same day as my daughter who died x
Thank you for clearing up Patti's legacy as a drummer. That was well said I couldnt agree more.
Been binging all your vids and its really good stuff. Didnt know you are/were a fellow 912. Im from Hinesville.
When Scott says "What do you think Micheal?" I think he sounded like keifer Sunderland from The Lost Boys 🙃✌
"They're maggots Michael."
That’s a pretty cool reference.
Yessss
Good memory, love that movie.
I got the chills when they walked in that closet
I guess if he wrote his songs in the sun room they would have been a bit more happier. The closet created a darker mood.
Definitely, it's sounds weird but "weather changes mood" lol
This was amazingly chilling! I'm so glad I found you 🤘
I love watching the grim life one of my favourite TH-camrs. I also love lamont at large as well.
Yes Lamont and now there's another man who goes by Ron from Faces of the Forgotten, he is super chill like all, but go check out his TH-cam channel and come on in a let him know Regina sent you all over.. it's addicting...
Acid
You can see the nail in the wall where that heart thing was hanging on the wall above their bed. This whole tour is fascinating, yet sad. I’m a new subscriber, not sure how I got here, I was searching for and watching otzi the iceman videos...but I’m definitely glad I clicked.
If only I had that nail, my life would be complete...
That's what I've got my eye on when i see a space comparing to a photo taken long ago. I try to see if there is anything still visible from the photo whether it is stone wear on brickwork or whatever
OMG the GrimmLife and Scott OnTape mashup.....LEGENDARY!!!!
This guy has to be Jim Carrey's younger brother, his voice and mannerisms remind us of Carrey so much. Great video, keep them coming, we'll be watching!
I was thinking the same as u
Thanks for the tour
Every time he’d come back from walking up, he said things like this is breath taking, and my legs get shaky doing this...I thought the camera was gonna fall and crack, and the theme song would just randomly start playing ending the video.
the house is beautiful in its own right, such awesome features, the windows and that lizard stone thing in the wall rocked not to mention the view! Awesome feeling place
I loved this upload so much! If I could afford it I would love that house. Its perfect! As a long time diehard kurt fan to see his history is a blessing. Thank you Michael! 💫🍁🙂 ps I'm from Kurt's home state and my parents lived in Aberdeen around the time kurt did when he was a kid.
Your best video so far, very well done documenting this👍🏼
Brilliant
Thanx for the tour guys, appreciated
Surprised you could actually go in the house without the neighbors calling the cops! Sad to see it run down and vandalised, hope somebody fixes it up and lives in it!
I was shocked they were filming in there.
