In the annals of YouTube, this number may well not look so big, but in my small world, it is large.

(Thank you Invoice Weiner for serving to to crystalize the principle!)

The collection is created in a Manhattan Seashore garage (edited and archived) when the output is out on the street. On the other hand, we do the new Thursday afternoon Dwell version from the garage, by the magic of eCamm computer software.

We have been to numerous states, which includes Washington, Oregon, Utah, Nevada, Ga and Florida, and a complete great deal in California. In the South Bay, we have lined Manhattan Beach front, Hermosa, Redondo, Palos Verdes and San Pedro and been up and down the California coastline, from San Diego to Mendocino. (We even did an episode on ER when it moved to its new digs.) 

The most viewed episodes (so significantly:) Pismo Seashore, Morro Bay, Riverside, Palm Springs, San Pedro, Oregon Coast, Silver Lake, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Newport, Oregon and the great L.A. Deli walk.

How can you not love functioning close to with your digicam in a city where by each individual street provides a distinct experience?

It is so entertaining to see all these locations by means of your lens.” That’s the most effective remark ever! Thank you Marci (and Mike!)
