My grandmother would say Acme the same way as your grandmother. It makes me happy when I hear you say Acme like that.

Steve Friendman was the Mr. Movie guy and he was really successful on WWDB. He was a great guy and kept me company while working many nights listening to his show.

My husband’s grandmother passed today at age 86. Stage 4 lung cancer. She was not a fan of going to the doctor, so all of this was extremely sudden. She was a very special lady and she will be missed greatly 💜Thank you for sharing this touching video❤

All your scooting/walking vids reminds me of all my fam/my early childhood.

This brings back memories of my grandmother my dad’s mom When I was little we go over to her house and color She loved to color we actually buried her with a box of crayons and coloring book and I as I got older the neighborhood kids would come over and we would play cards and she would make tea and bring out her bag of pretzels but once in a while we would still color The little things you remember that a priceless Thanks Captain for this down memory lane video

[@Lizzyremembers]

I lovely video. I can totally connect with the Jim Gardner story. My Dad and Mom watched him every day. Definitely part of my family.

[@theinvestigator4078]

@ThePhillyCaptain I think we all needed to stop by your Grandmother's former home. Thanks!

[@mdezii]

Love this video Jon. You remind me so much of myself. Your Grandmom was beautiful inside and out. I can tell by her picture. Take care my friend.

[@stevenboyce4782]

It was great to hear your stories about your Grandmother. i have a lot stories about my Nana and Grandma also. The memories and stories like keeps them alive in your heart. i lost my mother a couple of months ago and it still tough for me to take.

[@gregbrown6921]

In the 80s a lot of grandmas made the perfect iced tea, nobody else could make it as good

[@wendyobrien2843]

It's wonderful that you have such special memories of her. To hear you say she was funny made me smile & to realize that you got your sense of humor from her. What a gift she gave you! Loved hearing your stories about her. Hold your memories close to your heart & never be afraid to cry. Hope everything is ok & that the phone call went well.

[@redrooster1908]

Always lovely to hear someone say how much they love each other❤❤❤ So sweet, hun😊 Your Gramma loved you.

[@robertdredden5474]

Right before I enlisted into the Army 22 years ago, I worked in the deli at the ACME. God rest your Grandmothers loving soul Captain continue to carry on her legacy.

Your Grandmom sounds like a special lady. Thank you for sharing your memories of her.

[@poss4757]

My mother would record Wrestling for my son. She would even watch with him and even like it. At least she said she did. I had forgotten about that. Good times Good times

[@jamesoconnor2753]

I was lucky to have been close to both my paternal and maternal grandmothers. They both lived within walking distance of my house. I saw them both practically every day. Dad’s Mom was a wrestling and roller derby fan and I watched with her on UHF channel. Thanks for the memories, Jon!

[@justing9528]

Grand mothers are always special. My grandmother was in the same classroom in highschool as 1950's singer Fabian was in. I remember my grandmother would always make me her special homemade jello and jello pudding.

[@PHILZFAN]

Wonderful video, my friend! I can see how she was your favorite person. Thank you for sharing these great memories of a woman who was a big part of your life!

We Philadelphians are a very sentimental lot I still have a lot of fond memories of growing up in Center City. I’m amazed that a beer slurpie is available now. When I was a kid beer could only be bought in bars not 7-11s.

[@joea7763]

I feel the love John Pat, I feel the love.

[@frankdunn385]

Great story captain. Got me thinking about my awesome Grandmother. She was the best.

[@leonmalett4189]

Grandmother's have a special place in our hearts and I to have the same feelings for my grandson as I did for my grandmother 😊😊

[@maxinepreston7601]

Ah Jon, it was lovely to hear about your beloved grandmother. She sounded like a great lady. I teared up with you. Bless her.🇬🇧

[@JohnEades]

What a fantastic vid Cap, thank you for sharing some wonderful stories about your grandmother. Much love to you from the other side of the pond... BTW we don't have ACME stores here, but restassured whenever I see one on your vids they are now forever (and aloud) AC a ME 🙏

[@VariedVids]

Growing up in northern New Jersey a long time ago, Pall Mall cigarettes were always pronounced "pel mel".

[@heathermanning5368]

Thanks for Sharing! I had a Grandmom like yours! She was wonderful and is missed! Blessed for 96 years!

[@atomic_man]

Ah man this was a really special episode. My moms parents, my mom mom and pop pop, were my favorite people and my happiest childhood memories were at their house. They are both gone now but after my mom mom passed my pop pop sold the house and moved in with my aunt and I will never forget closing the door on that house for the last time. One of the hardest things I've ever done. Thanks for sharing these great memories captain.

[@brianroz3178]

I think of my grandparents every day ❤. Used to go to Academy Plaza to a toy store/ stationery supplies store before grade school every year. Wish I remembered the store name.

[@Dave_Stubbs31]

I love all your videos Captain but this one is quite possibly my very favorite. It reminded me of the deep love that I also have for my Mommom. She unfortunately passed way too soon in 1992 and my love for her is as strong as ever today. I tell anyone that will listen that she taught me everything that I needed to know in life and molded me into who I am today. Much love to you and your Grandma ❤ It's a love that feels like a reassuring hug everytime you think about her...I totally get it!

[@DaynaRose74]

This is very sweet. It's ok to be this way about someone you love. Spirits aren't in graves they stay with you! Happy bday to your grandma 🎉

[@cdrum5994]

God rest your grand mom 🙏. She’s good people. My grandparents were from Ireland too. They met over here and had eight kids in Germantown than Frankford.

[@ERIKAOMANS]

My grandparents were from Boyertown P.A. They both lived into their 90’s. When I watch your videos it reminds me of all the times I spent with them. I would spend summers with them in Pennsylvania and lived with them off and on through my life. They even moved out to Washington State where I’m from in their later years. I’m so thankful they were there to watch my own kids grow up too. That’s what makes your videos so special and entertaining to watch Thank You Captain 🥰

[@AnitaHead-]

The Pall Mall cigarettes instantly reminded me of my grandmother who also called it Acame. There’s just something about a grandmother’s love and I miss mine like crazy. I really enjoyed hearing about yours, great video 🥰

[@scoopskitheband]

Your grandmom sounds like she was an amazing person 🫶 thanks for sharing those memories.

[@anneenste]

My Grandmom also lived in N Philly and she was and is my favorite person in the world. ❤

[@margereed9059]

I have a feeling your grandma would love this video!

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

She would say “that’s a nice video hun. Why did you do that to the movie guy, go with Jesus

Happy heavenly birthday to your grandma. Love it. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@mommyworks]

I love that you celebrate your Grandmmom ❤ I cry over my mom passing because I miss the love that she gave me and that I gave back, but I celebrate her life.

[@AWSmith1955]

She's looking down at you and proud Jon Patrick. My grandmom came over during the potato famine when she was 18. Never strayed far from Ellis Island and had a big family. Seven daughters and one son. As a child i remember watching the Statue of Liberty out her living room window on Garfield Ave in Jersey City. And the trains too. made me a train dork. Never forget her irish brogue , Would call me Ale instead of Al.

[@joangravel2436]

Thanks for that story I enjoyed hearing it

[@spamlessaccount]

Awwww.

[@lindafern2007]

Thank you for sharing such beautiful memories of your dear Grandmother! 💐🤗💐

[@MikeB-qm4yw]

That is the same “Acame” I used to take my grand mom food shopping not too long for a good 10 years or so. Brings back similar memories.

[@Christy903]

Thanks for this video. Your Grandmom is watching over you. But you talking about her made me think about both of my Grandmothers. My MeMe (Dad’s mom) made ice tea in the tea kettle and added a lot of sugar. It was so good. Never had it like that again until I went to a friend’s home two years ago. I tasted it and it transported me back to MeMe’s kitchen. It was emotional for me. Your ice tea story reminded me of her. She passed in 2006 at 92. We celebrated her 100 birthday by having a family party and had all of the dishes that she had cooked and same with desserts. It was a great way to honor her. Doing this video is helping both yourself and all of us remembering loved ones and I thank you for that. Keep up the great work!

[@LL-em5jv]

You re truly awesome, I appreciate your content. My parents lived on Water Street in Kensington 5then moved up around Devereaux ave. Dads parents on gransback street you go into areas I haven't seen forever. My grandmother on my mom's side off the boat Italian broken English would let me cut school at her house, and make sure I had a nap n freshly made meatballs. My mom would flip. I was the favorite grandchild out of 12.

[@scentsationnation951]

Awe this made me all filled up.. I wish you peace and may you Grandma Rest In Peace

I hope whatever that phone call was about went well. I can tell it gave you anxiety. I know that feeling all too well. Go hug your Grand son and maybe it'll help if even just for a minute. Take care Jon. You seem like a good dude. All the best. 🙏

[@JamesBond-ym7kd]

you always keep me connected to my hometown

[@marksherman2190]

I was raised by my Grandmom. I can relate to your emotions! I can hear the struggle in your voice in the video between the love of your grandmom and that call you're having to take. I hope all turns out well for you..... On a positive note... My girlfriend and me are going to the Phillies vs. Marlins game on Saturday and sitting in 301!!!! I'm taking your advice... It's always fun in 301!!!! I'll be the only fan wearing Nick Nelson (57) jersey... See ya there!
