Back during this era, it was a little easier to feel the personality of every great city, but with Philly it just warms your heart, because it’s ours, all of ours.I’m an Italian boy born in S. Camden, I’ve been around the block, all the blocks. Peace, Rocky
Wow..watching this on my phone with headphones..I got half way thru video closed my eyes put the phone down and just listened to the song with my own slide show of pictures of My younger years in my head and drifted away and even smelling smells that I forgot, like My old car, My childhood home, the corner store, the old school playground on a hot summer day, perfumes from old girlfriend's....Then I woke up on the grass in the middle of the Roosevelt Blvd....haaa only kidding but the rest is true and I just woke up at 3:30am from some great dreams Perfect song..Thanks
Philadelphia is and was a beautiful historical City _love to see the trolleys, especially during the winter with the snow. And I love all those Smiley friendly faces, so much brotherly love.❣🍕
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.

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

You couldn't pick better pictures than the ones with all the trash on the streets and broken down houses? It's embarrassing to see that.
But that is city living, the good and the bad
