Driving Tour Philadelphia's Point Breeze Hood | Gentrification Hit Hard Investors Haven (Narrated)

[@SusanJMT]

I enjoyed the tour. My daughter rented in Pt Breeze, Norris Square, and NW Philly but bought in Pt Breeze. The folks there are the most friendly in the city, and that is why she bought there.

The 25th street bridge is dangerous and has been for years. The city is suing CSX for not fixing it. I try to avoid driving under there as much as possible. Keep up the good work & travel safe👍🙂

For the record, that building on the right used to be Ms. Blackwell's Laundromat. Tasker & Pt. Breeze.

[@keystone9434]

25th St bridge. Brings back memories.

[@aubiecat]

I love your narration, thank you for sharing what it's like to live in an area that's gentrifying

[@aubiecat]

also imo your pronunciation didn't detract from the goodness of the video

[@SusanJMT]

Forgot to mention that PA has Real Estate Tax rebate and freeze programs. I hope the folks know about them. The freeze program is available to homeowners with incomes as much as $65K per year. The rebate program is available for senior renters and property owners, and the cutoff is considerably lower. It seems that Philly has its own tax adjustment programs for seniors with different cutoffs.

[@joimprove]

[@a.j.fisher813]

Toon IDK if you've done this but could you do my husband's neighborhood? He's a "2 streeter" which is like Mummers row ,2nd street like 2nd and Reed area?

[@angelortiz746]

The building that looks like a school on 19th and Wharton was converted to luxury townhomes, formerly known as Walter Smith School.

[@rmackey7491]

Truthfully South Philly has always had really bad pot holes...lived at 16th and Latona most my life...The real deal is there a lots of little streams under the streets! I kid you not!!! Most parts of South Philly was built overtop of water(and other things). There is a history of flooded basements mostly houses closer to broad street and on the eastside. One summer I swore I heard rushing water in the middle of the night! So one night I'm coming home at night and per usual yet another pot hole has started on the end of the block and I walk by it and not only has it become larger but I hear the rushing water!!! Check the history...! South Philly the worst for pot holes and after the snow season...all summer the streets dept was always around fixing streets! That salt mixture ate up the streets and cars parking on the curb broke up the pavements! Facts!💯 I miss Earl's on Opal Street! Lines e'erday!!! Serious hoagies! 🙌🏽I know they gone!❣👍🏼

[@rwr773]

My son was renting in one of the newer complexes. However, right across the street, they would shoot up the block.

[@homeoftek5844]

You couldn't pay me to live in Point Breeze after I found out how crime ridden it is as well as Gray's Ferry

[@SEEMMONEY]

I dont know what to tell you bro. I grew up, born and raised in this area and still live here till this day. I am in these streets whether the camera is rolling or if the camera is off. I dont think you heard the point i was making by the mid to very end of the video lol. Have a good day thanks for leaving a comment. Be safe and take care

[@derrickyoung6917]

Yo toon that park is name Wharton square park

[@kirstenvc81]

For the algorithm ♥️

[@a.j.fisher813]

I love you ...but I'm dying at your pronunciation of the streets😂

[@fernandoscrenci9555]

You are doing a great job, narrow rating this video with some street wisdom !! 👍👍👍👍👍 \ common sense has been , replace with common stupidity!!🤤

[@edwardcephas9810]

Go down 22nd Dickinson

[@rwr773]

you don't have to say corp. or inc. Those are just the business 'type of entity'. Not the title of the business per se

[@catherinecephas1451]

Its pronounced cross key street, after Dickinson its wilder, and McDaniel my old school. I dont even recognize my old neighbor hood

[@edwardcephas9810]

It's simon the Sy ri an

[@rmackey7491]

St Simon the Cyrenian Church...Simon was the black man who helped carry the cross for Jesus to the crucifixion. He was not a syrian...he was from Cyrene.

[@dnjazz6840]

North Broad???? You are definitely not from South Philly! Here's the history on Pt. Breeze. Point Breeze was once booming with Black Owned Business! Clothing stores, shoe stores, grocery stores and the like. You have destroyed the pronunciation of the blocks. Your blocks are, Washington Ave, Ellsworth, Federal, Wharton, Reed, Dickenson, Tasker, Morris, Moore, McKean, Mifflin and Snyder Ave. From 22nd to 25th.... THA'TS POINT BREEZE!

[@ericturner7906]

Absolutely correct! Especially, Wilder Street. Also, in the early days on the corner of almost every other block was a corner Store.
