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!🙏
Hey PHILLY CAPTAIN, on this Veterans Day 🇺🇲... Interesting scoot ride video thru Kensington...Also another pretty good steak place down by Lehigh Ave..OK great Fri into wkd & TOODLES...
Bro I almost swore that was Bruce buffer. You should deff get a cameo from Bruce “LIVE. FROM KENSIGNTON ARE YOUUUU READDYYY FOR THE PHILLLLLY CAPTAIINNN” hahaha forreal you really should would be so fire
Phill y captain where you going live bro I'm from around here too yes and I like some of the stuff you like and everything like that and you know I live in kenzo so you know I just be doing my thing but I know how to shake and move but I just want to say one more thing salute to your content great content I am a subscriber and I will be checking out your merch
I hope Fetterman has come here to see things. Since Oz is out, it will be up to Fetterman to help these people back into society. Lots of great promises... let's see what he actually does about fentanyl. At least OZ came down here, as per your dialog.
@@iluvmoney6767 Exactly! I've seen so many videos of Kensington Ave, and never saw such few junkies on the street! Fetterman gathered them up and brought them to vote and then gave them a set of works, and a bag of dope laced with Fentanyl!
Did they change the trains on the El? They don't sound like how I remember them. Then again it's been almost 20 years since I've been under the El or on the El.
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.
It is intense They were saying with another "reporter" At the point they give away tents...they were pushing her around too smashed her equipment the security guard and a woman that worked there...sad shit Isn't that 1st amendment chit plus the way they were laughing as they were doing it...she was recording the needle exchange
I say reporter meaning I'm including you, you are better at reporting and representing philly than any reporter with a news crew with them They definitely wouldn't be doing that chit to you it was pitiful actually...all she was doing was asking them questions...you should stop by....I want to..just to do the same she was doing//see what they do
i saw that as well. the type of people who work at a needle exchange, you would like to think would be kind with a lot of empathy for others, would be better then that. to break other peoples property is totally crazy. i get that they wanted to keep the privacy of the users but on the other hand it is a public space.
Alright Dems... PA is all yrs for the time being go ahead and show the rest of us plebs why Trump and MAGA Republicans are bad and why voting blue is the answer.
𝘼𝙝𝙤𝙮 𝘾𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙤! 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. 13:48 *Heeeere we arrrr* As always, enjoyed the tour. Sorry I missed the live chat but watched the entire video so that I could maintain my _all the way cuz_ status. Toodles ....

Did Philly run out of fentanyl? This about as clean as I've ever seen it.
I think it's so cute when people recognize you and yell out HERE WE ARE ' . ☺️ Love these scoots . 😻
Who in their right mind would build a new house on Kensington?
I looked up house prices in the area on Zillow. Some are expensive, some are cheaper than dirt.
Its called gentrification pal
@@zahirecoates I'm not your pal!!!
@@rockbay79 fine asswipe
I am looking into a new crack house
Happy Veterans Day Captain. Thanks for the tour 👍
It looks so much cleaner, is it just the day? This is great compared to what I’ve seen in the past

Again hilarious... love to see the people of Philly get what they vote for and deserve .. love it
Kensington is a lost cause and a total embarrassment. I hate to even step foot in the city anymore. It's awful.
It is exactly as it was in 1986.

I love the Sabu barbed wire reference Capn. I called Sabu’s first ever match at the ECW Arena. Stay safe
From Battle Creek MI!
Bro I almost swore that was Bruce buffer. You should deff get a cameo from Bruce “LIVE. FROM KENSIGNTON ARE YOUUUU READDYYY FOR THE PHILLLLLY CAPTAIINNN” hahaha forreal you really should would be so fire
Thanks for showing how bad our neighborhood has become and that the politician do nothing about it I appreciate you bringing the Truth out
At 1:00 that's where the Kensington Ave. crowd do their Christmas shoplifting.
Where did you learn to levitate and hover? That's so cool! Sorcerer
...keep it up, I honestly think you are God sent !!
the chickens are the philly steaks
Damn 1 pound cheese steak sounds good all the time lol
I will miss those chickens. On a good note, the neighborhood looks cleaner.
Can you make a video of the contrast between K & A and the new townhouses in the area on your ride?
Why does it look so clean down there?
Omg stay safe out there!
Here we Are
The chickens OD'd
Those cardoors could open suddenly,which makes cycling tricky,sometimes.
Once the tent people get a foothold you can't get them out. Another month or so it'll look like skid row without the warm weather.
It’s cleared out from that shooting looks like
Ut oh
Nice button hook
🤣🤣 things are gonna get easierrr🎶🎶
Used to live there 15 years ago
I miss the chooks 🐔
Nice video Captain! 🤘💚🤘
🦘🇦🇺🦘
My Father lived on Pacific street back in 1964 😊
yes thats the best ive seen it too. you mean the local government actually did something about the trash!
They need to build up the neighborhood as much as possible
FEtterman will do that!
Phill y captain where you going live bro I'm from around here too yes and I like some of the stuff you like and everything like that and you know I live in kenzo so you know I just be doing my thing but I know how to shake and move but I just want to say one more thing salute to your content great content I am a subscriber and I will be checking out your merch
I wonder what happened to the chickens...
Thank you for your service to all of our Veterans.
Another lovely scoot Sir
So much potential with all that empty real estate.
it looks so different without all the shit almost nice
I want to see Philly Captain give Zack Hample a wedgie when he comes to Philly lmao.
Australia has the same issues most definitely
I hope Fetterman has come here to see things. Since Oz is out, it will be up to Fetterman to help these people back into society. Lots of great promises... let's see what he actually does about fentanyl. At least OZ came down here, as per your dialog.
Oz came to Kensington to film a commercial.
These were the Fetterman voters!!!!
safe injection site is going to be in the city before Fetterman takes office
@@iluvmoney6767 Exactly! I've seen so many videos of Kensington Ave, and never saw such few junkies on the street! Fetterman gathered them up and brought them to vote and then gave them a set of works, and a bag of dope laced with Fentanyl!
Strongest Philly Accent 🇱🇷
what happened to chickens 🐔 😕 😳 Dr quack won't be back🥴😖
Kelly's Corner is still open? I haven't been there in decades. My mother always loved going to K&A.
It is not open anymore. It's now a school
Godloveyou
Another guy filmed it and the police were out there & they were cleaning it up.
Did they change the trains on the El? They don't sound like how I remember them. Then again it's been almost 20 years since I've been under the El or on the El.

Towey playground area change alot
6:15 Sorry, but Dr. Oz was a joke!!!
Wow....the effect of that store on you......
Lol 😆
@@joffmccomas4501 😁
So THESE were the Fetterman voters!!!!!!🙄🙄🙄🙄
Most of these people live outside Pennsylvania
@@ThePhillyCaptain But they vacation on Kensington Ave. Right?
It's cheaper than a flight to Amsterdam
Salvation Army is closed 😦
Happy VETERANS day why is America free thank GOD FOR OUR VETERANS.
Was "Dr." Oz campaigning or refilling his stash?
The first part of Kensington your in has a lot of hipsters it’s weird how horrible it’s a half a mile away
City do clean up?
This is why suburbia has stayed away from Philadelphia since the early-mid 2000s when Rendell was mayor/governer. Elect people who are tough on crime.
It is intense
They were saying with another "reporter"

Why would anyone want to live there
Well if you’re poor living in poverty you really have no other options
It's really not all that cheap there. The condos on Somerset aren't cheap.
Fetterman voters?🤨🤨🤨🤨
Alright Dems... PA is all yrs for the time being go ahead and show the rest of us plebs why Trump and MAGA Republicans are bad and why voting blue is the answer.
Anyone who denies the 2020 election results is bad.
ATW.
