There's major development $$$ that of office and medical space happening around 38th n market/chestnut areas. Just a matter a time before development spreads.
Graves from the late 1800's seem particularly poignant. Graves earlier than that feel 'historic', the lives of the people harder to imagine. People from the late 1800's seem closer to us, easier to imagine, yet now they're largely forgotten, their graves not visited.
Hey PHILLY CAPTAIN, Happy Fri. and April...Great scoot ride in West Phila ..Very exciting, great traveling around and a lot of Phila history there as well...This Wkd, your history tour in Fishtown and WWE Wrestlermania..Keep on, enjoy and TOODLES..
It’s called Our Mother of Sorrows…I went there from 1st to 8th grade…it was my church and grade school,it’s located at 48th and Wyalusing…there’s no perpetual in the name !
Captain, along Lancaster Ave is the Septa Rte 10 trolley from the subway at 36th St Univ City and goes on to City Line 63rd and Malvern....Yes Sherman Hemsley from TV The Jeffersons...Get down George...Not only very well hollywood talented but he could dance the dance..
Just because there's some people is that a bad in that particular part of town doesn't make a whole town bad not everybody is wicked you have good people in the worst parts of town remember that people quick the judge
30% of my viewers do not live in the United States. I said East Philadelphia just so they could get a picture of where I was coming from. I live in Bridesburg. It’s not quite northeast Philly and if I said the River wards nobody would know what I was talking about.
@@ThePhillyCaptain I jus never herd anybody ever say East Philly in my 38 years on this earth but Bridseburg could be considered northeast if u look at Philly ona map it's directly east of North. I know what u saying tho it's different names for different neighborhoods and technically the northeast like Mayfair/ oxford circle/holmaseburg/Tacony etc. but some ppl say north and east of Frankford /Tacony creek is northeast and some say once your past Frankford is🤷🏻 guess it's all bout perspective. But be careful over there it a warzone over there not far at all from where u are in this video
Thank you for your video! Nobody on the street (work, shopping)? No thanks.. If I had to live there in America,.. I would use some drugs right away. simply desolate. The churches are dead, the house facades too, looks like a film set but the cars are nice and clean
What you said about Will Smith as really not even true you talk about Fresh Prince of Bel-Air that has nothing to do with his real life and he didn't move because he threw a basketball at some bad guy don't believe everything you see on TV not even the news man and I think you'll be ok I believe Will Smith move because he was closer to his movie sets and he makes more money period
One thing I was really trying to make clear graveyards can go sour that means negative spirits can dwell in there also that's why I don't visit graveyards after the dead is buried keep their memories alive the good memories in our minds it is just a shell left of what was there not there this spirit is not trapped Underground I don't think Yeshua or Jesus what do that to us I believe it goes directly back to the father or Goes to Hell
The holy spirit is not going to make you scared because you're going through an old building why would he be there in an empty building let's go back to he dwells in our hearts our Temple our body not in buildings created by Stone and wood
respect for being brave enough to film a nasty city like philadelphia. Even more so west philly where each and every idiot has a gun in the pocket. You are a better man than me. I would never freely walk around in a place were nobody values human life holding a camera with only my goodwill and no licensed protection of my own.
Those old homes are nice and sure they are constructed rock solid. The loss of manufacturing decimated this city.
Originally from your neck of the woods.
41st and Haverford ave. Was once West Philadelphia Passenger
Railway Company Car barn.
I used to watch that TV show and and for the day it was funny as hell! :)
You got it! Point she played Thelma Frye.

Creepy Dr office. I wondered where exactly that was. So sad.

It’s called Our Mother of Sorrows…I went there from 1st to 8th grade…it was my church and grade school,it’s located at 48th and Wyalusing…there’s no perpetual in the name !

Am I missing something? what was controversial about the portraitist historical marker? 6:37
Yes you are missing something
@@ThePhillyCaptain what am I missing?
It’s not controversial.
Disgusting how much trash is there. Literally as tall as your car in some places.

Be careful out there...dangerous
@Thephillycaptain who knew that park would be a major crime scene Years later of a mass shooting in front of Religious people
It is such a shame that we lose those churches and they just turn to rubble as time goes by.
Chestnut Cabaret was in that general area
That’s west Philadelphia not southwest
Wow what a video filmed with improper knowledge, words, and slight bigotry… I’d EXPECT ABSOLUTELY…NOTHING LESS from someone from “EAST PHILLY”..
I have viewers from around the world who do not understand the map of Philadelphia. Thank You for watching
The Captain goes anywhere in the City!
Where is east Philly? Camden?🤣🤣 U mean northeast?

@@ThePhillyCaptain you are correct its nothing like K&A
Thank you for your video! Nobody on the street (work, shopping)? No thanks.. If I had to live there in America,.. I would use some drugs right away.

I don’t think your have the same sense of humor as I do. Be warned there are lot of jokes and sarcasm.
I volunteer to go Sir
No place to live,moneyless, helpless Godless.....careless...
Sad 😥
You live I east Philadelphia where all the drug problems and Will Smith is from Wynfield area
The drug problems are everywhere. Kensington is in North Philly. I live in the River wards
IG NAY SHUS Was a very early Saint In the Catholic Church Not that I am Catholic but I did Take Bible studies and theology.
What was your problem with reading that historical marker....nothing controversial about it ...just Black history!!
I judge all of historical markers across the city. I don’t think this one belongs.

It’s the greatest city in the world.
@@ThePhillyCaptain amen to that🙏
I grew uo in West Philly in the 50s and 60s. Was a great, safe place back then. Then a certain element moved in and destroyed it.
Philly was a Pagan Mc town
