This video is the best video on you tube documenting Philly. I grew up in South philly in the 50's and 60's. Philly has always had issues with race relations, policing, poverty, and the disparity of wealth between haves and have nots. Toon , I appreciate this video, you have a knowledge of the city, and you've researched the history of these neighborhoods. Well done.

Thanks Toon for posting the Philly tour. Watching them makes me sooooo glad I don’t live there anymore lol. Left in the 90’s and and watching them from a better place is so satisfying 😁

Hey Toon, Old Man here. My Aunt used to live on the corner you passed at Clearfield and Hurley and my grandparents lived right across the street on Clearfield. I was born in '53 and it was still called Needle Park back then. I haven't been there in over 45 years. Thanks for the ride along!

One thing I noticed is the amount of cars & debris blocking sidewalks. My understanding is that 36" minimum needs to be allowed for egress. That's clearly not the case here. And with these "luxury" apartments, who wants to pay $2500 - $3000 a month and walk outside to see all the trash littering the streets? And as Toon noted have two store-owners gunned down at the end of the block. You can put lipstick on a pig, but... Until the community respects their fellow citizens and own environment, it'll just get worse and worse. Love Toon's willingness and effort to go on these drives.

When I was in Philly as a tourist I walked most places, no problems but being white I have to be aware of my surroundings. Did a lot in South Philly and downtown, no problems. No problems in NYC either, Atlanta my face didn't fit and I really had to watch my step. Camden NJ was another place that was scary. In Scotland where I live I fear no streets unless its late night.

From a 68 year old white male from Oklahoma, I used to love going to Philly. Still do. Growing up, I'd get a chance to go there as a kid with my buddy's dad who could afford to take us (BY CAR....HA) and stay a week every summer. I loved it. I was , and still are, Motown. The place was alive. It was the coolest place ever. Now, with my job, I still get to go to conferences their once or twice a year. Wife loves to go as well. Food is great and downtown we've never had any issues. Regardless of the time of year I go, I make sure and go to a game. Love watching pro ball, regardless of the shape or size, in Philly. Still make the trip to Hitsvile USA. That should be treated as a national treasure. Just to walk in and see where it all started and why. But I hate how the country has turned it's back on the rust belt, and the people that really made America THE AMERICA the world knows. Kensington street (sp?) breaks my heart.

The wide angel lens is fooling you huh. Making you think I am going faster then what I really am. Hence why I state the obvious in every video. (How fast I'm going) don't matter what car I'm in. I've did tours in several cars. Doesn't matter how slow I drive viewers still think I am going faster then I am. I could be at idle speed crawling. But since the streets are smaller then what your use to and the lens is a wide angle. You assume I'm going faster then what I really am. Any who. Thanks for dropping a comment.
