Brother, it hurts til this day bc they were the only parents I ever had. They changed my culture to European so to speak and I'm BLACK.......anyway, they saved me from the harsh philly streets and I wanted to get out there badly! I've been Looking for them in Greece. I'm still gonna buy that business! Trust me.i helped put that grill in there!

Thank you my friend😊

I remember that as well. 1975 !!!!

I remember those oil tanks melted like plastic.

Thank you for recognizing what I was trying to do with this retrospective of our city and its rich history. The good and the bad !! I most definitely plan on doing more videos in the future.

Thank you so much. No I don't.

This was a big part of my life growing up. I still miss Philly.

Hello from Philly♥️

Wasn't my hometown, but it was home from '79-'92, I luv the place.

I remember Gino's . Me and my family lived down there at the old passyunk homes. I went to elementary school at Brady elementary in the 1970ds. I use to love those Gino's burgers.

As you come through the tunnel,(not the walk through tunnel), but under the train-tracks,there was a small house that two elderly white couple lived in.The Myers.Their yard was at my back yard.The maintenance men had those three wheeled scooters.-Wow

I remember ch 17 ch 29. Creature double feature on Saturdays. I remember that area that we both lived in as being very dangerous. I'm gonna call my sister in my. B4. The wkend is out and see if she remembers u. I'm almost 51 now she is a little older than me. And I still have a brother in philly. We may all have known each other. My parents have long been deceased. But the description that u gave of your father is one I heard many many yrs ago. I had cousins that stayed in taylor named tomeka and troy Strickland. Theire moms was ms. Winnie.

But that is city living, the good and the bad

You are right. Its nice folks like you that make it possible for me even care about philly anymore signed 1952 29th and york!

John Miller I understand where you’re coming from. But this is the authors narrative from his prospective. Which is in turn beautiful, gritty. It’s beauty in mess. There’s also mess in beauty. Artistic expression. I’m sure you can create your own video, from your prospective amen.

Yo dude, your definitely looking at the glass half empty. The other folk who replied are right.I was gonna say in my comment that if these were private shots, they were postcard worthy. Look again, there’s a story here. Peace, Rocky

These pictures capture the era in which I lived. Its not to paint a picture which wouldn't be reality

Exactly

215Christ I'm with you there.I'm from Passyunk Homes.I remember walking to the Lakes in the summer.The neighbors standing on 24th street watching the fireworks when the Phillies won a game at the Vet.I was in the first grade when we went on a class trip to Wannamakers and riding that train.Going to the Boardwalk.At Bregy Elementary there was an old Italian man with a pushcart that sold homemade pretzels.Jerry's Corner down Passyunk ave.OMG.The memories.Parents would sit out on the front stoops,sipping',listening to Georgie Woods while we all played.Good to remenisce-
