Hey I'm Syn. I was a bartender at Chuckles Bar (corner of clearfield & frankford) for 20 years. Managed the bar, take out, apartments and rooms for 3 years. I left Chuckles 6 years ago when I lost my oldest son to the fentynal epidemic. Lived on Frankford Ave for years. Miss the old neighborhood and people but definitely don't miss the crime or drugs. Kensington is a crazy place. Thanks for the videos. I like seeing the old neighborhood.
@phillysyn so sorry for ur loss ! Just lost my 33 year old godson to the laced pills “ Florida is the capital “ of drugs as well ! My deepest condolences to you 🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations sober family ❤ I’m 6 years & 5 months clean,I used to be on the streets in Philly and jersey, never thought I’d be alive,sober,happy and a beautiful family of my own, I have lost so many people,so so many,and I pray that others in addiction can find peace and tranquility and sobriety
@@LalaaCherry awe Lalaaa congrats on your life and recovery. We are living proof that it is possible. Only one in every 100 will make it through to recovery and those numbers need to change. I wish I could hand it out to all my fellow brothers and sisters in despair. You keep counting and I will too.
Flowers instead of needles is my dream, too. I hope and pray every night for all lost souls in Kensington. I hope that it stays clean, but you’ve been there. I’ve been there and I will keep praying that it stays good.
My sister was diagnosed with ALS and died 8 months after her diagnosis. She fought to live. It’s so hard to watch so many young people throw their lives away with drugs when so many people are fighting terminal illnesses.
I love that you took note of the couple who were fighting and said you’d mind your own business but you’d jump in if the man put hands on the woman. There is too much violence against women in this world and good men need to step up and set an example when needed. It’s nice to know you would be one of them.
❤love you guys I had 2 daughters went thru it for years now both clean . Thanks for all you do there . Saying hey from rocky mount nc . We love your and your family . I have lost family members due to chewing fentanol patches and od to herion and thank is here now
The addicts have just moved to the side streets so in reality they are closer to the residents houses which are mainly situated down the side streets than they were on the main strip
❤ I hope for the babies out there that they keep it that way. Not knocking anyone, I am 10 years into sobriety and I don’t forget where I came from. But people in that community deserve better!
Thank you for helping those that don't have a voice or feel hopeless, and giving them a face, voice and let us all see that they do have a soul! "I am my brother's keeper" Lord bless all your children 🙏
Also watching from york, PA I've lost 3 cousins down there to over doses, all 35 and younger and moms😢.I hope the kids enjoy the summer without being exposed to all that.
Wow so sad. Sorry you lost so many family members to it and so young too. I never lost any family members to an OD, but I have lost some friends to OD. Addiction is brutal.
Frank is one of the few good dudes out there he really helps out and truly cares I ran them streets for years been clean since Dec 30th and hope to stay that way
@@TheKatarinaGiselle There is never any real improvement there. Addiction is usually progressive, and Kensington seems to get progressively worse. It's where a lot of the worse addicts congregate unfortunately. You have to be out of your mind to go down there thinking there could be any positivity at all. They could clean it up, but that doesn't mean anything at all really.
@ sonyalee I agree it’s better right now n I see police presents that I haven’t seen since I started watching ! Let’s all be a lil positive at least kids r in the park playing n not having to walk past anyone with a needle sticking outta there neck for now let’s 🙏🙏🙏 it gets even better !
@@simmipaul We can only hope so, but I don't think it's looking good for her considering she was SO close to death and came back out there. It's not about her having longer clean time this time or that time, it's the fact that she really couldn't have been much closer to death, it took months to get her out of the hospital, and she went right back to it, that's nuts. I like your positivity though, and I hope you're right.
@@billj4525omg I so agree with u n she was clean cause she had no choice she was in a coma ! I’m a lil shocked that God gave Amber another chance at life n living etc n I feel she totally took advantage of the gift God gave her ! I just lost my 33 year old godson from laced pills in Florida I was there for a month whst a tragedy n he was clean from pills he was prescribed for 7 months he wanted to live n made a very poor choice ! Amber to me is spitting in gods face by going right back out there ! Sorry to say no positivity on my side here she’s a lifer n loves the life style ! Smh 🙏🙏🙏
@@stuff1784 you’re right exactly 👍, I thought she would stay clean after almost dying, after she came out of hospital she went back there and OD’d twice so if that doesn’t do it , nothing will
Your beard have grow. You Look younger without beard. Nice to see you again. Summer IS coming slowly in Finland 🥶💨i have winter clothes last week. I hope homeless get apartment. Hope you Are fine. Great Summer on Finland 😮💨Hope The streets on Kensington comes clean.
Those upstairs apartments near your shop where the shooting occurred were bad news years ago when my buddy still lived in Milton, wasn't really surprised when I heard where it happened and was happy to hear that nobody in the shop was hurt.
Hello Frank & family! Frank it made my heart feel good to hear you say you would never go back. You are fortunate to have the family you have, & to have your business. It really isn't worth it to return to this mess. I'm 15yrs clean, I have a life so rich in the Lord, & with my family. Drugs aren't even what they use to be, & there is no occasional use. A person is either balls to the walls getting clean, or doing drugs. I truly respect the time & energy you put into checking up on these people, & handing out donations. You give.these people hope with your haircuts, donations, & your kind & encoiraging words. I pray for these people all the time, my heart breaks for them. By the way how is Shake, & even Duffy? Hello to rachael & the kids, from Linda in Northern Cali. Blessings to y'all
I tthank god I didn’t grow up in a large city as I might be there with them. The rural country keep me away from a source and I found subutex to ease the cravings
Could you please make closed captions for your videos? I'm hearing impaired, but I can still enjoy what you do by reading the captions. Where did all the folks get off too I wonder?
You have done really great interviews Frank and you help the people on the streets and where will all the people go? They really don't have anywhere to go...
There’s a 100 reasons to use! There’s a 100 reasons to quit! PAIN is temporary! The only way to get thru the pain is to is to change that moment of choice! That spilt moment of CHOICE. It’s as easy and/or as hard as you make it. I have been clean since 1996. I was an addict of multiple drugs thru the late 70’s, 80’s & 90’s. It was not easy! But life is not easy. And now, since the internet and then TH-cam, I can visually see what is waiting for me if I decide to slip up! I didn’t have the vast knowledge and visual representation of what my life could look like if I decide to let my guard down. Like folks do now. The drugs nowadays are nasty, deadly and polluted. Remember, we have free will and choices. NOTHING, AND I MEAN NOTHING IS BETTER THAN BEING CLEAN. NOTHING! ❤❤❤
Amber, amber..... You're insurance has nothing to do with you getting back there. Brian Parkhill talked to you yesterday, you agreed to go back to Eagleville... Not ready. We get that, but be honest. It's a spit in the face to those who are doing their best to help you out 😔
@@Tommy.OrginalvideosPhilly we learn, ..... Some have tried and learned the hard way. I don't know about the "never", but 1 thing is for sure, last thing she needs it's our attention.
@@soniap5708 don't know much about him... But imo, and knowing how much trouble Amber has brought between channels, he should have talk to her privately, without doing an interview. We all saw it elsewhere... She's always bite the hand who helped her.
I agree with you Frank….. treatment should be first and if they refuse to go to treatment then they have to be relocated. I don’t know what that looks like….. where can the addicts go if they refuse help.
Gentrification- I know someone who bought a tiny 2 bedroom row house back in the 80’s around 18th & Bainbridge in Philly for $78,000. Now, the houses sell for $600,000+
My cousin lives in Philly shes part of a church group and she tries her best to look out for the homeless people and drug addicts 😢God bless you bro and my family she shows up in the park at McPherson library with her church ppl😢
Its getting better! I hope it continues. Public safety is important in any town. Great to see the area cleaned up! I wonder where they relocated those people?
@@MancstaSam Exactly, when you really do the math it will end up being an extremely small percentage. Let's say 2 out of 10 who went into treatment get clean, which is generous and more likely 1 out of 10. That's roughly 8 people out of the 36, and there are likely 1000 or more out there struggling. 8 out of 1000, that's less than 1 out of 100 people getting clean. Really really tiny amount if you do the math and think about it.
@@MancstaSam Yes, I am aware...but every life counts. Two lives or even one life saved is better than zero lives saved. Unfortunately, I lost my brother to an overdose and shortly will lose my nephew. I would love for my nephew to be the one or two whose lives are saved.
Like the beard buddy you’re so good at what you do my husband is a TV producer. I’m a therapist always tell him he needs to do a show for you one day you never know.❤
I remember they did this like 2 or 3 years ago or so too. They just chased everyone a few streets over and the news was reporting on how clean the area was in a month or so everyone was back. I doubt it's going to be any different this time. Go a couple of streets over and look for people, they'll be laying on sidewalks and sitting on people's steps a couple of streets over and on side streets. Makes me angry police and politicians acting like something was really done. It's beyond stupid. 😡
Where will they all go I’m an ex heroin addict 30 years now I was on the street at 16 Family issues etc I watch what you do. God sends angels out When we need them And you are one!
After the cleaning.....this still could become a situation elsewhere....if they don't get the majority of people of addiction's help...this would be a internal problems in society ❤❤❤...let help our citizens for the love of humanity,..they are crying out for help ,...lets help them off the street and have the government have programs with help to become independent citizens again....just loss soul..this could happen to any one of us.....stay strong and prayerful 🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️
Bro 4 every time an #Addict is told they don't have a bed or place 4 them they have refused #Treatment at least 10 times. I was myself a #DrugAddict I had 2 leave #PuertoRico & make it over 2 #SoldiersOTheLord in #FrontSt its been over 15 years & counting. God Bless u
HOW DO YOU HELP PEOPLE THAT IS NOT READY TO STOP THEIR ADDICTION?? ALL THEY CAN DO IS TELL THEM TO LEAVE THE AREA!!! WHAT CAN ANYBODY DO??? BLESSINGS TO ALL!!!
Respect for what you do morals over money, " if you're not there to help, get out" !! I was worried about you when you got off paper, happy to see you're doing so well 👍👍🙏😎
This is good for the businesses and the community. I have driven through and refuse to stop at a store because of what I see. I felt bad for the kids. And I agree, it’s just a bandaid.
I have to disagree with Frank about Kensington being like that temporarily... The city sued Walgreens and CVS for 60 billion dollars so we have all the funding we need to keep cops patrolling around the clock... The country is in debt from all the money it issued during COVID, which is why the city didn't have the funding...
You are right frank nothing worth addiction nothing.It strips you of all and everything and you know. Bless you sir and your family stay humble much love.
I used to go down in that area back in the day and get food stamps with my mom. When they were actually food stamp paper money 🤣🤦🏼♀️ i grew up in ne Philly. Lawncrest. I'll always be a city girl at heart. But it got so bad down there. Had to get out and come to the country. I really hope they keep cleaning the place up!!
Love the show giving me hope 199 days sober😊
Well done. ❤
Congratulations 👏
Congrats my bro 🎉you deserve it ! Just celebrated 15 months! I had 3 years+ until covid time. Just grateful i got another chance ! 🙏
Awesome.

Prayers for all who still suffer and there is a way out.
Same here. Life is great now. I’ll be 4 years in November.
I'll have 2 years June 15. I've done more living in 2 years than the last 20. We go recover

I meant trank
Oh wow. I’m an old lady and wondering what is trank?
Looks good! I'm sure the residents of the neighborhood are glad to have their neighborhood back!
If you actually think they have their streets clean, you are naive. Kensington only gets worse every year.
The addicts have just moved to the side streets so in reality they are closer to the residents houses which are mainly situated down the side streets than they were on the main strip
That looks good?
❤ I hope for the babies out there that they keep it that way. Not knocking anyone, I am 10 years into sobriety and I don’t forget where I came from. But people in that community deserve better!
After 12 years on crystal meth, I'm almost a year clean. I'm from South Africa.
I lived in Philly for 20 yrs until 2017 and that is with no regrets. You are doing a great thing, thank you!❤

How many people you've interviewed that have passed away now and how many of them have beat and have stayed clean would love to see a video like this
I feel like that would be a really hard question to answer, but it would be real interesting to know.
Very interesting about the gentrification! They did that in East Saint Paul in Minnesota too it's still a work in progress but it's happening.
It's happening in MT too
I agree... it doesn't make sense to me, and I do see it as a temporary thing!

Does look a lot cleaner but not totally empty I don't think it'll ever be totally rid of the bullshit I pray it will one day
It isn't cleaner. It's just morning and ppl are busy hustling and copping their gear and drugs.

But the people who pay mortgages, rent, property taxes etc…. Should have their neighborhood back
They did the same thing here in Boston on Mass Ave, they have the cops come take the tents down but only move them to the side streets.

I heard 36 people were asked and accepted help. They do offer help.

Your wrong Frank, they did send people to rehab. I heard 59 people went to rehab.

The help goes to illegals not to American citizens. 🙄

This is good for the businesses and the community. I have driven through and refuse to stop at a store because of what I see. I felt bad for the kids. And I agree, it’s just a bandaid.
So true frank I just got scammed by 1 of my cousins for $400 it's shameful when you can't even trust your own family.

The city sued Walgreens and CVS for 60 billion dollars so we have all the funding we need to keep cops patrolling around the clock... The country is in debt from all the money it issued during COVID, which is why the city didn't have the funding...

I used to go down in that area back in the day and get food stamps with my mom. When they were actually food stamp paper money 🤣🤦🏼♀️ i grew up in ne Philly. Lawncrest. I'll always be a city girl at heart. But it got so bad down there. Had to get out and come to the country. I really hope they keep cleaning the place up!!
Rise up Kensington!🙏🏼

So what’s the mayors next plan? Is she gonna put cops on all the corners next?
The hipsters will move in and do the Mayor's job for him....
Dealers are prolly shook now??
New mayor is trying something at least
Doing the same thing, for years now. Waiting to see if they follow through. It's election year, actions could be politically motivated? ✌❤
