Yooooo cuz! First lemme tell ya! I love your content. Im a demolition specialist at The Philadelphian on Fairmount and Pennsylvania ave. I tear out all the old condos so ppl can move in. Watching your channel has helped me fall in love with this city again. Ty. Keep doing it and ill keep watching.
I can remember going to the Chestnut Cabaret at 38th and Chestnut in the 90s. If you did public transportation to the show, it was more than a little sketchy leaving a show after midnight ...
Kelly drive has been cleaned up since I was a kid.. The Art museum has also been spruced up too. I lived only 5 blocks from 30th st. As a former resident we hated the universities because the campus cops used to hassle us when we’d travel between Center City and West Philadelphia. Sherman Helmsley was born in West Philadelphia.
I wonder who likes in the Philadelphia area and eats Subway. Our OFFICAL sandwich is the Italian HOAGIE! The Stromboli was invented in Philadelphia as well.
Wow chicken song earlier in week and Kelly Drive , Captain is bringing the gold! I thought for a minute that we were going to get sailing/rowing with Captain too lol!
St Joes is also now out in Ucity with the merger of USciences. It's a small campus down by Woodland avenue. Drexel's campus tends to be located closer to 30th Street Station and many of their main buildings are along Market Street. Drexel has teamed up with Amtrak and Brandywine Realty to develop the area with large buildings that can be used by both the school and corporations. Drexel also has a major presence down by Chestnut Street. UPenn's campus is more focused along Walnut Street but they also have many buildings along Chestnut Street. The huge development and investments made in UCity has led to large increases in property value. Crime has also dropped dramatically as the income levels have gone up. Gentrification is not a bad thing from this perspective.
I can't wait for 30th St Station's waiting area to be open again. You really don't realize how much you'll miss having like 5-6 viable food options until it's gone. Even not having Philly Pretzel Factory is a massive bummer
The Rocky statue is just a movie prop? But isn't film art?! Prop is short for property, btw cause that's what they are. Property of the studio or production company.
Philly Captain is like George Costansa, knows all the best public restrooms around in his city.

On my best of Philly list I would certainly include Kelly Drive along with MLK Drive ....

If it wasn't in a movie it's not a prop
The horse fountains were called horse troughs. There is a working one at 23rd and South.
This going to be wild

KELLY DRIVE Jack Kelly, related to Grace Kelly. "Kelly for brickwork"
$30 an hour?! I bought a bike at the flea market for $35
I'm surprised, the Capt didn't point out the Frank Furness designed bank at 31st and Market 🙂

The name of the actor is Sherman Hemsley, not Helmsley.
That preacher statue looks like the human from The Smurfs
He is playing for LaSalle which is way up Broad Street.
