      He is a great guy. He went through a bout of cancer a few years back and couldn't wait to return to making cheesesteaks and roast pork once he got better. Solid human being.

    He’s 100% right about the bread.
    As a punk rock kid I spent a lot of my teenage years on South Street hanging out at Skinz and Zipperhead (I preferred Skinz.)
    Philly is known as the Mural Capital of the World with over 4,000 works of community-based public art.
    Thanks to the Captain for actually giving really good Philly knowledge. 👍👏

    Video paused at 7:27. Adam, I love almost all of your baseball videos. You were screwed in the 5 hour game with Ricky, but the A's videos were amazing, and the Daphne video at Angels stadium was magical, and well-edited. Sorter game, delightful enthusiasm from Daphne, your dry sense of humor, all great in a 2 1/2 hour game. I would love to see meet or take Daphne to ballparks all over the country, as she wants to go to more games. You two, like you and The Philly Captain, are magical together. You and Zack Hample together would be great, as well. You were great in one of Zack's last year, as a surprise Guest Star.

    This was pretty awesome to see for me personally. Loved baseball and the Phillies as a kid and it kinda hit the back burner for me as I grew up, but I always loosely followed. Recently I began becoming more interested again, right at the time Adam started making his baseball videos. Over the past 2 years I’ve been more into baseball more than any other sport and made it back to Citizens Bank for over 10 games last year. Philly has tons of little quirks and a ton of personality, glad to see you visiting Adam

    This place has so much history and culture, looks amazing. For anyone watching that bit about the Declaration of Independence bit about being in German first is sort of true. Only for THIS area. A few hundred copies of it were all done at once and this area was home to more immigrants than most. While it was published on July 4th, German copies started to circulate a week or so later in an effort to inform people of all nations who were here. Such a cool point in history!
