I lived in Richard Allen Homes from 1944 to 1964. I went to spring garden School from kindergarten to the 6th grade. I have so many fond memories that I will never forget.

@NorthPhilly no I didn't. Bill Cosby lived on 9th Street and I lived on 12th Street. So if we didn't go to school together I more than likely would not have known you. Wanya is much younger than I am and Cosby was a little older than me.

Hey you do a remix of this video, and add the real story . Of how and why Richard Allen was able to get revitalized. And the real heros who fought hard to make that happen.. like The Late 1Richard Tennant Council director Ms Carrie Turner. ( (1980-1994) and of the West popular Nac office . She also has the park named after her on 13th popular st. She the one who Changed Richard Allen Neighborhood. Her mural is also located in Richard Allen at 9th Brown st.

I used to live in Richard Allen back in the day from 1984 - 1993. Best years of my life. I miss the how it looked back then opposed to know. It's beautiful today, but there's so much unfilled open space. I didn't personally know anyone from RAM squad, but was there when they were blowin up.

Mikael S600 Lol! I know that they were considered to be “Cambridge.” Still, most people outside of that complex referenced them colloquially as Richard Allen. I used to try to use the name “Cambridge” to refer to the buildings, and nobody knew what I was talking about, until I mentioned the geographical area. At that point, people would say, “You mean the Richard Allen buildings?!?” 😁😁😁😁😁😁 So, when in Rome, you do as the Romans, I guess. 🤪🤪 What makes me mad at these municipalities are the fact that all project complexes are named after Black people or Hispanics...as if they only associate our leaders with poverty and housing projects. LA has the Cezar Chavez Housing Projects, Chicago has the Mahalia Jackson Homes, and the Lou Rawls Pavilion, MLK Housing Projects in NYC, and Richard Allen in North Philly. In North Philly, they also had the Marcus Garvey Welfare Place too. That shit is too much!!! That’s also a slap in the face to all of us people of color! Why would they honor Black and Hispanic leaders in this way? Next thing you know, they’ll put Malcolm X’s face on a book of food stamps for Black History Month!!!

Born and Grew up and still Live in Philly. My mom is from jersey and I am so thankful that even though she struggled as a single parent she never moves to projects and let s live in areas like this. The projects is not a permanent solutions and you should never get comfortable off of the government. It’s will come back on you. Your goal should be to eventually own something that belongs to you not get comfortable off of the government. Bill Cosby was right. The audacity of these ppl thinking they have the right to complains about moving smh. Disgusting. You shouldn’t never be embarrassed to have lived in it, but you should be embarrassed to stay there. Idc. Stop the foolishness black ppl. I’m so glad my mom never lived in places like this even though she struggled. Nothing but bad parents with no hope living in the projects.

It's not where you live it's how you live. For the most part, all parents want better and have dreams and aspirations for themselves and their children. On one hand you say, you shouldn't be embarrassed to live/have lived in public housing and then you make disparaging statements about the parents who live there. Kudos to your mother Sis, but you made a terribly awful generalization about other's parents simply based on where they reside.😕
