    Hey capn. Friendly reminder for the chickens- if you feed em in winter, try to give em corn. Corn raises their temperature, so they can deal with the cold a little better.

    Back when Dick Clark was still doing American bandstand from 46th and Market, all of those large buildings in Kensington were employing tens of thousands of people and all of those homes were nice, and businesses were full of customers and sales people and crime was low. People had just come home from World War II and Korea and were glad to be back and being hard at work….and nowadays, the government has made poverty comfortable and drugs easy to access and this is what you end up with. This all started with Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society.” After the 1968 riots, many of those businesses closed or moved to other places where they felt safer.

      Horseshit. Unrestricted free market capitalism destroyed the avenues of mobility formerly accessible to peons. Blaming the great society is just an excuse that conservatives understand.

    Project Home is building new low income apartments behind Episcopal Hospital. It's the old nursing school. They are supposed to be ready in January for folks to start moving in. I was asked if I was interested and applied. I'm not sure how I feel about the situation. The lot you passed by Somerset and Kensington Ave... that encampment - I lived there a year ago. I'm definitely about being part of the solution and NOT THE PROBLEM! I'm just afraid that I am not going to be able to do anything OUTSIDE of my apartment due to the surroundings. I'm hoping and praying for Kensington and for things to get better! From what I saw on the video, things have slightly improved . Although there's a lot of tents going back up again. There's got to be MORE PLACES for people to go to get off the street! Believe me... I didn't want to be out there like that. I had to suffer and wait for an opening in a shelter. It's a heartbreaking and painful process! And not everyone who is homeless is a druggie or wishes to stay that way. Thanks for continuing to keep the spotlight on things. We can't give up hope!🙏

      From what I remember they changed the El back in 99/00 to the more futuristic look. It's crazy the newer model El is still old but looks brand new and sounds futuristic. I'm no train expert but it sounds like the brake motors that make that noise.

    Kelly's Corner - big difference between this section and the Kelly's Corner of Delaware County NY which is a small village made up of mebbe a dozen people or so (at most).
    3:25 I do miss the chickens. Good karma to all who fed and appreciated them ...
    5:30 Dr Odd is from New Jersey. Why did anybody vote for that carpetbagger?
    10:00 Why does anyone allow urban degeneration to happen such as that in Kensington? It's quite obvious actually: allowing degeneration means that people will abandon the houses and neighborhood so that speculators can invest in new housing and to gentrify the area. Once the area is gentrified, the City will then kiss up to the nouveau riche, bring in the cops, clean up the streets, increase the tax base, and make the area look pristine. As for the poor folks who are displaced, none of the pols give a fckk.
