G'day Philly Captain! I haven't watched ya for a lil while, but I'm glad I tuned in today, that peek into Mighty Mick's was awesome! And I always love the
🎶🎙 "Here we arrrrree! KENS-INGGG-TONNNNN" 🎙🎶 bit 🤩
Love from the opposite side of the planet 🦘🇦🇺🦘
Great editing we were watching a part where you're talking about the smell of the Black Tar the guy was using for the roof when you say " It doesn't smell as bad as it used to " then the other guy mumbles something.
Then immediately we hear "Shit" . 😂 Then your on Kensington Ave. Perfect 💯
Hey PHILLY CAPTAIN, fine video..The inside of the old Mighty Micks Gym in the ROCKY movies was filmed back in Hollywood..Have a good one..
I drove truck into this area at least twice a month a few years back. It was a dump then, even more scarier now with the fentanyl horror going on. It seems to me that the city has given up on any notions of a wholesome place to live for its tax paying citizens. The insane real estate costs are adding to the problems I believe. So glad I am retired and do not have to travel there anymore.
the reason some tourists would go to see kensington ave. is the same reason some tourists come here to LA just to see skidrow . kensington ave. has gotten the attention of the entire country and there are so many youtube channels now that are specifically dedicated to showing daily footage of kensington and interviewing the homeless addicts that live on or near kensington ave. i watch at least one kensington video almost every day .
The real estate developers are a part of the problem. They wait until property values in the area crater, and then buy up all the buildings. Then they shift the addicts elsewhere

Rocky is the reason
@@ThePhillyCaptain maybe the tourists that ride the rocky bus , but the independent tourists that go there on their own are not checking it out because of a 50 year old movie .
The number tourists attraction in Philadelphia is the Rocky statue. You would be surprised how many people come here for Rocky stuff.
$574,900…..ridiculous.
Het Captain, I love the way you greet folks, Hello friend! That's the traditional Quaker old time's greeting! Hello friend!
Simple solution would be to send all the addicted and dealers to Ft. Dix . Start a community there instead of paying cops for nothing. All that money could be used to start up a new community. Too easy I guess. This shit is just manifesting and destroying our school children walking through that horror every day. Nothing like a 6 year old to witness a dead body or overdose and walking on needles!! Come on man! Protect our children from horror and PTSD!! UNREAL!!!
Flash backs of Central City back in the 70's and 80's. The walk from Reading Terminal to Greyhound. Never any tents just people in doorways. The smell I don't think I'll ever forget. Worse then a Dead show at the Spectrum in August lol.
The volume of people seems way more as well and no xxx peep shows.
Reading Terminal & Greyhound bus are only 2 blocks apart, right? Or was the Greyhound station in a different location back then?
I'm sure lighting fires in Kensington is illegal, it's just that the rule isn't enforced there. Open fires are probably the least of the problems there ...
Plenty of open gunfire there to be found. Still perhaps among the minor of the problems.
Next episode. Camp in Rittenhouse Square until you get kicked out!
those new constructions in that area going from $435-485,000. wow.
45K a year and there is no way we could afford descent housing. Unreal
Who are the buyers?
Hipsters that appear to be able to dodge armed robberies. :)
The key to succesful dismantling of society is to keep people focused on throwing a ball around
What would you say about the neighborhoods in Juniata section and also where Wawa is on Castor Avenue
Who are they building all these properties for...when is the mass migration to Kensington area happening is it reverse white flight or high dollar section 800+ moving in or are these going to sit empty ????
KENSINGTON music definitely a classic!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should do the Navy Yard
I have check the archives
1838 Cumberland Street is multiple units.
It states four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
It looks like one entrance I guess?
I mean it's ok but I think two entrances would be better.
If you can split the place into two units.
I'm not sure it works unless I missed something.
5:58 I still do okay parking in fishtown.
Watch me not find parking for the next three months now
$575k for 1838 E Cumberland. That's bananas.
HERE WE ARE!!
The Bell Weather District.
@15:47 what are they all picking up off the ground?
those half million dollar houses are everywhere now, only doctors and lawyers gonna live in philly
who do they plan on moving into the city? The goal has always been to get out of dodge.... who is moving in?
A lot of people are moving into Philly. Lots of jobs. Although, the rise in work from home is changing that.
We should look up the very first overdose responded to by medical, in Kensington
You went past my old house on Emerald.I don't recognize anything else around there.
Be careful
$574900...holy crap is that overpriced!
574,900$ for that house, 4bd, 4 bath, pretty cool.
@@wbdollarbill bullet proof everything!
City losing its character. I would rather own an original home no matter how much work is needed.
Location location location
Hey I was born in Kensington f and Cornwall
Rocky's house was the corner one, 1818. Not the one you showed.
You can see 1818 painted on the wall
@@ThePhillyCaptain It looked like you were showing 1816-14
Rocky's house was the 1818 Tusculum st
What's a house in Bridesburg goin for..?
I would guess around 150-300
So sad to see the church dismantled
Please do bring Chicken feed next time you go there . We must all do our part to provide sustenance for our Struggling friends .. 😻🐤🐕
But I can't figure out is why chickens are there in the first place?
Chicken- HEADS try and keep up Bubba.
Kensington is about to get some gentrification
It’s being reclaimed. It used to be nice
I grew up at Susquehanna and Amber that whole neighborhood used to be good all white ain’t no gentrification going on it was white
How expensive is it to live there
House going for probably round 110k
To buy stuff?

It's such ashame that in a great Country as America that this is allowed to happen. Those poor families that live there should not have to put up with this.
He have a strong philly accent 😂
They can build whatever they want there fact is the rot will spread
575,000 is the price for 1838 Cumberland St.
wtf
1838 CUMBERLAND ST..HOUSE SALES FOR $574.900
574,900 is my guess
One would think with this neighborhood being Rocky's, the city would've made sure they didn't lose tax revenue by letting it go to hell.
@@RawRealRetail Yes, but still.
If you had $575,000 to spend, on property, would YOU buy that house, there in Kensington????? Seriously?
Not sure about you, but I'd be looking elsewhere to invest!
147 thousandish mite of looked that up wrong 😅
because the state outlawed circuses with bearded ladies, etc.
new construction? lol who the hell would want to live in one of the most dangerous places in the U.S?!
$574,900
I hate to say it but the parents who continue to live here and expose their children to this are most likely either contributing to “the problem”, or in the grips of “the problem”. Children will absolutely experience what is called “Toxic Stress” this changes the way the young brain develops.
They could also be too poor to move anywhere.
Looking for chickens 🐔😂
NARCANsington
Talk in a normal voice please not a hyper pitched one. Hurts my ears
That’s my normal voice. lol
1838 cumberland st on Zillow $574,900
Are you shitting me?
Seems a bit overpriced.
$574,900
Yep. That's how much money I'm willing to pay for you to be my second wife.
Let me take you out someplace nice to eat.
Then we can go see a good movie in the theater. I'm thinking Titanic
