    And speaking of the best largest public restrooms back in the day, Imma take ya way back. Gimbel's, Wanamaker's and Lit Brothers had the absolute best swanky restrooms in Center City. The best everything period. Wow I really miss those stores. 🙂
    Edit: Philly has the best murals. There's a group of wonderful artists that does them, getting the talented children artists of Philly involved. 😎 Nice video, I've liked and subscribed. 🙂

      I was amazed they survived as long as they did when you had so many better local sandwich options for the same price

    I worked at the Macy's building on the 4th floor and top floor for an advertising company.
    I loved working there and just walking around the area on my lunch breaks. Then I would take the L home. I miss Philly! I live in Ohio now. Def. want to come back and visit soon.

    Great vid and history tour as always Captain. My dad and stepmom are actually Quaker. Philly has so many little spots that others just don't know about...always nice to just get out and explore our fine city. Go Phillies...I told you a few months ago at the Phillies game when things weren't looking too good...always believe in...The Hunt for Red October!

    Basically stores are closing everywhere not just Philly. The economy has been bad for many many many years now with no real recovery. And the pandemic didn't help anything. And Philly does have some beautiful areas like Rittenhouse Square,I love the parks around there. That's my hometown, and I hate the bad rap that it gets. Philly has some of the most helpful, kindest, coolest people in the world.😎

    Entertaining video of Center City, but misses an important point: the overzealous redevelopment of this area. Two huge office/mixed use buildings are presently in construction, one nearly complete, down around South 7th Street below Market. These buildings are making this neighborhood cramped, almost claustrophobic, reducing sunlight and air circulation, adding to the already horrendous vehicular and pedestrian traffic congestion in the area. And, new buildings of smaller scale are also adding to the crowding, as the structures have no setbacks from the sidewalks. The character of the neighborhood is being needlessly changed due to flawed zoning variances. This issue would serve as a fruitful basis for another clip, Captain. But, thanx for your effort on this one.

    I watched you several times and my complaint is that you do not know enough history I.e. ST JOHN church on 13th Street or the Earl theater on 12th &market. When you want to west Philly you did not mention Catheral cemetery which help build the bacilla on 18th street. LEARN MORE HISTORY.
