Hi, just noticed my storefront, Aloha Knitting Studio at 2019 Sansom St., would have love to have a mention. Had a blessed 2+ years teaching knitting & crochet and sharing all things fiber related, spinning, yarn, a large lending library of stitching books & magazines. Relocating December 31, 2024. Thanks to all my fiber friends, patrons, Rittenhouse neighborhood & my very special & kind landlady, Miss Margaret & her family for the incredible opportunity to support the crafting community from my quaint shop on very friendly block. Special thanks also to The Welcome Church ministers, Rev. Shaunel Steinnagel & Rev. Violet Little for their support, love, prayers & gifts. Thanks also to Mrs. Sandra Wilks, Ms. Uda B.B. and Master Evan Johnson, my darling grandson & honorary Assistant Manager. Thank you, Philly Captain! Peace, love, blessings & prosperity to you & yours.
Enjoyed that tour glad to see other parts of Philly beside Kensington thanks😊
Love the priceless fun facts from a real Philadelphian! Always a good time! 😎
And speaking of the best largest public restrooms back in the day, Imma take ya way back. Gimbel's, Wanamaker's and Lit Brothers had the absolute best swanky restrooms in Center City. The best everything period. Wow I really miss those stores. 🙂
Edit: Philly has the best murals. There's a group of wonderful artists that does them, getting the talented children artists of Philly involved. 😎 Nice video, I've liked and subscribed. 🙂
From Philly. I went to the High School for the Creative and Performing Arts with my Buddies Tony Luke and Franco Borda. I now live in Key West and I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work
Horn and hardart restaurant was where you could get he big piece of pie 😋
The Automat! We ate at the location in NYC
Been watching your vids. Love the stuff you show and explain. I live next to the city now. I love going to Philly! Its a one of a kind city!
I worked at the Macy's building on the 4th floor and top floor for an advertising company.
I loved working there and just walking around the area on my lunch breaks. Then I would take the L home. I miss Philly! I live in Ohio now. Def. want to come back and visit soon.
Hi Captain, out of all the videos made of Philadelphia and Kensington, you're the most informative and the most enjoyable to watch and listen to. Please keep up the great work.
Watched the whole way Captain Great Video, lovely buildings as always 😊
Great vid and history tour as always Captain. My dad and stepmom are actually Quaker. Philly has so many little spots that others just don't know about...always nice to just get out and explore our fine city. Go Phillies...I told you a few months ago at the Phillies game when things weren't looking too good...always believe in...The Hunt for Red October!
Amazing tour. Thank you for taking the time to share.
@32:29 it blows my mind that there are any Subway sandwiches in Philadelphia. WE EAT HOAGIES!
Exactly!
I was amazed they survived as long as they did when you had so many better local sandwich options for the same price
One of my ultimate dead ass reasons I loveee Philly: Artwork.
There like art glass walls randomly throughout the city. Murals!
Thanks!
Yo Cuz!! Loved the unedited vid man!!
I really enjoyed the scoot! Lots of fun!!! 😊
Your great! Very entertaining as well! Just subscribed! Be safe on that scooter! 😂😂
There is a church right in the middle of the 2 Comcast skyscrapers built in 1855 that's awesome looking 2,century side by side
Your passion for Philly shines with these scooter videos
I gotta catch you on one of your walking tours when im in Philly
Luv ya CUZ
Billy from Philly here. Great vlog Captain! lovin' it!
Love your Scoot videos! Your information is amazing! Thank You!
Goin on a looooong history scoot! Nice!
The Wanamakers building at Christmas. Good memories. Not sure your old enough to remember the Christmas monorail on the 8th floor.
Nice tour of the city Cap
#capuncut #allthewayclub
I don’t remember the monorail. It is currently on display at the please touch museum
Oh yeah
Hey Capt. I’m an Adam the Woo fan and got to say your content is much better than what I saw on ATW channel. New subscriber btw 👍. I now understand your passion for Philly
Beautiful downtown , better than NY
thanks for posting.
AWESOME HISTORICAL in depth tour...Thank U
Hey Capt. Love the Philly scooter tour the Philly municipal building had the ex-c commissioner / Mayor Frank Rizzo Statue. It was there for years!
LOVE THE RICH HISTORY OF OUR CITY OF PHILADELPHIA 😊
GLAD YOU'RE MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE.😊 YOUR THE BEST.!! GOD BLESS AND BE SAFE.😊
Hi there captain big fan of the phillies and philly overall greetings from germany bud
That North Portal of City Hall is the most beautiful entrance/exist. The colored marble columns are beautiful .... And you can see down to the foundations, which are like 20 feet / 6 meters thick in places ...
I went to the DiBruno Bros in the Wayne area, super nice🎉 Delicious brunch❤
Hey Capt! Love the channel! My Ex-wife got me watching after you visited the Penn Museum
Love your videos. I grew up in NE. Philly eating soft pretzels with mustard and cherry water ice. Now living in Lone Star Texas. Sure miss Philly. Thanks for the videos. My old friend Andreas dad owned Tony’s Tavern in Port Richmond back in the day. Go Birds
You've got that Philly brogue going. Good job.
A very nice tour. 😊TY Sir
I swear I think the same architects and construction that built Philly they built Baltimore also. The city halls look exactly the same and the row houses and the older buildings look so similar.
19:03 The disabled is the one minority group that anyone might join on any day of their lives. ADA-accessible places are great for everyone.
Basically stores are closing everywhere not just Philly. The economy has been bad for many many many years now with no real recovery. And the pandemic didn't help anything. And Philly does have some beautiful areas like Rittenhouse Square,I love the parks around there. That's my hometown, and I hate the bad rap that it gets. Philly has some of the most helpful, kindest, coolest people in the world.😎
Good video thanks
Why are the stores in Center City closing ? Let’s all think really hard and maybe we can come up with the answer ! 😂
Amazon...
Chicken swingers and their pet golem horde.
Shoplifting and it’s not a crime any longe? SMH 🤦♀️
Crime and immorality
🤷🏿
Anywhere close to the Mutters Museum fantastic place to visit
so cool. (Merci)
No public restrooms at the new bus station so stupid
Thanks for showing me around Philadelphia!! I’d love to show you around my hometown of Lafayette Indiana sometime! ❤ I really enjoy your content!!
I liked your tour of the city. Relaxing and informative. Also can you peddle the scooter if it runs out of batteries?
I really enjoyed this type of video. More of this, and keep the baseball vlogs coming!
I want to say its nice to see Philadelphia without watching the zombies on Kensington. Thanks.
What??? There is more to Philadelphia than tranq use??
Jeeze be safe Captain! People are nuts!
Good for you thinking of your grandpa. I have cerebral palsy but I can walk, and drive a car. I help people with disabilities get around because I want them to have autonomy.
Hey Captain that was really good love that
Great video Cap , good work !
I've no interest at all in touring most US cities now, including Philly. If I want to experience crime I'll just watch youtube.
You cannot have civil society with certain elements within it.
Awesome video captain! Can you do one on Columbia ballpark? Not to much about what happened to it.
Thanks Captain! Great video!!
Hey PHILLY CAPTAIN, I enjoyed your unedited scoot video thru Center City..Enjoy, stay cool & TOODLES...
49:00 Cool mosaic !!! Totally groovy !
"No refunds dickhead, your on your own" and John Wanamaker said "That's bullshit"🤣
So mad I will be out of town and can not tour with you. But, taking two of my grans on a family trip. Hope you will do another tour at some point.
Awesome tour 💯💯💯💯
i knew i subscribed to your channel for a reason, U workde @ BOYD's !!
i use to shop at the market st location in 1983 to 1986 when i enlisted in the military
The most beautiful suits a man can buy at Boyd’s
I saw you first with Adam. This video won me over.
Took ya long enough
Hey Captain I really enjoyed this video your nonstop knowledge is great #piss
The scoots vids are my fave.
Did the black wall building used to be horn and hardarts? There was one at K & A.
Horn and Hardarts
Monday evening. I don't remember Philly so dead.
Kensington residents wouldn't have a chance to even sight see here looks too rich...
T.I. started doing comedy 😂😂
How can I find out about future walking tours? I follow your channel, but I don't get notifications from that.
Instagram
Why, indeed
4:30 random dude, you aren’t helping by laughing at that joke :)
No way have you got Primark in the US 😂 I thought it was a UK only store
Uhhh crime? 🤔
On the Cheese; Provolone, Extra Sharp. Only cheese a friend of mine is addicted to.
Barnes an noble moved, thought it simply closed
(Violent) crime.
Hey Captain any updates on Saturday
Meet me for a walking history tour on July 22 at 11 AM meet me behind the big Ferris wheel
Drain the swamp … wake up
The major retail stores are closing, but Philly is building more condos. Is the intent to house the Kensington homeless in them? 😊😊
Rents are too high, that's why.
U sound like that guy that does the bad commercials on radio
Macy's light show at Christmas is the Best!!
Entertaining video of Center City, but misses an important point: the overzealous redevelopment of this area. Two huge office/mixed use buildings are presently in construction, one nearly complete, down around South 7th Street below Market. These buildings are making this neighborhood cramped, almost claustrophobic, reducing sunlight and air circulation, adding to the already horrendous vehicular and pedestrian traffic congestion in the area. And, new buildings of smaller scale are also adding to the crowding, as the structures have no setbacks from the sidewalks. The character of the neighborhood is being needlessly changed due to flawed zoning variances. This issue would serve as a fruitful basis for another clip, Captain. But, thanx for your effort on this one.
You have a Pittsburgh accent, you kinda sound like Myron Cope.
No
What day of the week was this taken? Is Philly so dead?
What's on my mind is; If you put the Wolfman on a rocket and sent him to the moon, would he be a werewolf all the time?
Whoa
Why stores are closing u figure it out why eeeek Eeeeeek Eeeeeek
Yea t.I. Classic cd

Yo whaddaya doin?! it looked like you were about to run over somebody! 😦
You should know better, Philadelphian's don't play that. 😄 Respect the personal space and get out in the street.
You just broke about 5 common traffic laws
No such thing as traffic laws in Philadelphia
As the Philly Captain has shown us in the past, you can even drive with no insurance in Philly!
I watched you several times and my complaint is that you do not know enough history I.e. ST JOHN church on 13th Street or the Earl theater on 12th &market. When you want to west Philly you did not mention Catheral cemetery which help build the bacilla on 18th street. LEARN MORE HISTORY.
Your a trip..😂
captain, are you moving to florida? to become the tampa captain?
jawn
watch your mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t watch. I cuss sometimes.
There are a couple of good record stores on haddon Ave in collingswood. Do a video over there. It's nice.
Very cool. The City of Brotherly Love. All the good people just walking around doing their thing.
its a dump lol, if thats one of the fancier spots id hate to see the other parts
