    As an addictions counselor, I appreciate you bringing awareness to addiction and also being open about your own concerns and sharing about your family members who battled addiction. We need to do more to talk publicly about it. Knowledge is power. Be safe!

    Thanks Philly Captain for showing a part of Philly that many of your subscribers never knew about. The only thing I know about Port Richmond is that my brother enjoys driving across the Walt to get his kielbasa and pound cake. Thanks again. Go Phillies!

    Philadelphia is a beautiful place. Every city has issues. I really appreciate that you have empathy for the addicts but fight for those kids. Just because their families are not wealthy doesn't mean that they should have to live in what Kensington Ave has become. All kids deserve a sage walk to school.

    From observation of your coverage, I can see that Port Richmond is signigficantly cleaner and better maintained by the residents, than those who live in Kensington.
    That original Cohocksink building was built in 1958.
    Let's be clear about the encampments, those people are drug addicts not homeless. They choose to live on the street. The sooner they are removed the better so that people like me who have had to live with this nightmare, will finally be able to have our neighborhood back.

    Great scoot Captain. It was nice to hear about your childhood. I don't think anyone knows what to do with Kensington and the cleanup has just pushed the addicts elsewhere so that area becomes a problem. Its an ongoing issue and even though I'm in the UK i feel for the people who have to put up with all nonsense. 🇬🇧

    3006 Belgrade Street is listed for $184,990 and looks like it was recently renovated by the pictures. 2554 Ann Street is listed for $397,000 and looks recently renovated from the pictures. I lived in Wissinoming near Benner & Cottage Sts 1990-2006 and in the early 90s there was a guy who drove a box truck selling fruits and vegetables. The name Jack's was on the side of the truck box. He had a certian way of saying what was for sale through the PA speaker. It got Wah wah wah wah watermellon, Honey honey honeydew Mellons, and he would yell STRAAAAAAWBERRIES really loud. 2351 Clearfield street is a rental for $1700/month.

    I remember Cohaxie playground. As a teenager on summer nights we would meet there before going on a mission sometimes. SlixxChixx,s cousin lived near there in one of the 3 story houses,she was a pretty good graffiti artist,like Slixx Chixx. Such was life there in the early to mid 1970s. I remember the old rec center that was torn down in the 80s.The neighborhood looks the same as it did in the 70s. Thanks for the memories.

    Sean Patrick Daily, so sad. It says he was a son of a police officer. Very sad.
    The attack was apparently in retaliation for a fight between one of the attackers and a man in the neighborhood a week ago. He said Dailey was not involved in the fight. "He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time,"

      @moonsrayven Місяць тому +1

      That's what they did here, 'cept when the cameras were filming. They just dump all the stuff and push the ppl to the next block. To ruin another part of the city they are looking to tear it down so the older ppl will move out and they can buy it up cheap and gentrify the hell out of it. I saw the same thing happen time and time again in other parts of Philly, they push the problem to the next neighborhood and call it a win.
