LANDMARK LOCATION SHUTS DOWN - PHILADELPHIA UNEDITED

[@phillygardener5949]

You’re the best Philadelphia tour guide! Hope you continue to do these types of vids especially leading up to our 250th.

[@davegallo8166]

Im old enough to remember when the bell was the in the entrance of Independence Hall and you could just walk up and touch it

[@micheleduke2200]

As kids, we would ride the train into center city for the Christmas lights at Wanamaker’s, the Dickens Christmas Village, and the tram ride around Lit Bothers. We loved eating lunch at the Crystal tea room especially the little tea sandwiches with the vegetable soup.

Great Video! Thanks for being the Patriotic Vlogger

Merry Christmas Captain, cant wait for the Mummers !! 👍🎄

[@ninapross3337]

Hey big thanks for the mummers hook up

[@mperson1890]

GREAT SCREENSHOT @ 10:09! I miss Philly. Lived there for 60 years and moved to Melbourne Florida. Big mistake 🤦🏻‍♂️ Happy 🆕 Year, Captain!

[@merccadoosis8847]

Thanks Captain for all the wonderful videos you gave us this year. I hope you get the 60K subs real soon. I'm sure that if you present the Mummer's you will get many more subs. Have a GREAT NYD!

[@joannebush4491]

You brought back a lot of good memories. We would go every Christmas to see the Wanamaker‘s lights and Strawbridge’s Village. When I got older we would go down to McGillis ever Friday night. Lots of good memories.

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

I don't think I've ever seen Washingtons house. I agree with you they should leave Christmas up till Jan 6th . Great video!

[@mikeleone1347]

Jan 6th is the 12th day of Christmas, as the song says LOL The day the 3 Wise Man showed up ...

[@track1949]

It's a facsimile. But that is the exact location of the president's house, 6th and Chestnut.

[@track1949]

Feast of the Ephanny.

[@edr.3229]

They won't leave it up because of the leftist government in our city. I am also from Philly. Born and raised here for 57 years South Philly. Yo, bro you passed by good ole litt brothers across from the old strawbridges at 8th. And Market sts. That was where the original enchanted village was.

[@edr.3229]

Yes, ole Mayor Dilworth kicked it off in 1952. The beginning of the decline in Philly. Hasn't been a Republican mayor ever since he took over. Sad indeed. Lol!!!

[@kimberleetraub4583]

Happy New Year Captain!

[@ernieMcCrackenn]

Enjoying tour!

[@jon-darma333]

The Mummers Rock but 2 street is were the parties at! I wish the City would embrace the Mummers like NO loves mardi grass! Happy New Year!

[@MattzTattz]

Flute Man playing Blowing in the Wind? Great video! Go Birds!

[@GaliSinatra]

Man, this brought back some memories! I remember that light show and it's sad to hear it's closing. Strawbridge's used to have a great Christmas window decoration too.

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

It might be closing. As for now it’s remaining open

[@flatlineracer3207]

Dam I noticed that your at the liberty bell area. I was born and raised in Philly and use to work down the street from their at 7th and Ranstead sts at Professional Color Processing labs inc. at the Charles P Mills building. The name should still be their at the top door entrance. I would love if you could do a documentary on that building and the history. It not well known and I'd be curious as to what you could find on it. And chance you could go inside and down in the basement would be great? The lab was down there. I worked their from 1977 till 1986.

[@bob4364]

Hey Philly Captain great video-Center City Phila..Congrats NFC East Champs Phila Eagles..The Mummers parade this week.. Enjoy on, Happy New Year and Tootles..

Thanks Captain for a wonderful trip around town and it was great seeing everything through your eyes and it was nice getting a history lesson about the things you showed also I was glad you had some nice weather with it being in the 60s for your scooter 🛴 ride, anyway thanks for making for one heck of a great day peace ☮️ out ✌️

[@joellafrazier1224]

I do miss Center City sometimes.

[@benrose7534]

Ya that bus used to be the 76 .. it used cost $0.50 to ride .. back when I lived downtown in around early mid 90s

[@Magical530]

I was in the city yesterday. I saw you filming the seat geek add but I was too scared to say hi.

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

Next time stop me and say hi

[@Magical530]

@@ThePhillyCaptainthanks for responding this made my day! Next time I will.

[@DMD.The.MeNaCe]

The horse and buggy carriage company 76 was in fact closed down due to animal cruelty. My friend use to drive for them and they had the stable at Spring Garden and 12th near Gaudenzia and when they investigated it they were VERY quick to say nope not anymore. That was like 4 years ago the shut that down.

[@ninapross3337]

Great way to keep up w scores

[@1otterlover]

Flute Man started with We Shall Overcome. (MLK Day is on Jan 20th). Then he changed to Blowin' in the Wind. Cuz of the Bob Dylan movie?

[@joeleeper214]

👍🏼 John/Philly captain : Question ? Letting U know I just recently hooked up with your channel ! The wife & I enjoy it, one your hilarious ! But U really shock us on how knowledgeable you are of Philadelphia ! Pretty Dang cool. any way the Question is I C U show the old John Wanamaker's building on Market and talk about the movie major the mannequin, just curious why you haven't brought up about the movie blowout John Travolta , he crashed his Jeep right through that main window on Market Street ! It also starred old uncle miltie from Kensington he owned a men's clothing store on Kensington Ave he played a mafia Hitman in the movie as well as the murder scene down there at Penn's Landing John Lithgow what's the murderer. No biggie just was wondering thanks Joe !! Happy Healthy New Year 2 U & your family 🌴🌴👍🏼

[@lament666]

I work at the Strawbridge building, the Heirloom opening and closing was a blink of an eye, lol. Sad for me since this was my lunch spot, now I have to go further out for lunch, oh well.

[@mikeleone1347]

Well, it was open for 3 years, but compared to how long Strawbridge's itself was open, that's a blink ... It closed the day before this video, on Dec 28th, I believe. The new full size Giant at Broad and Washington is open, tho, I was there yesterday.

[@lament666]

@@mikeleone1347Yes I know history of the building, been working there for awhile…

[@mikeleone1347]

[@johnchambers8528]

When I was young December 6th was considered the end of Christmas season and called Little Christmas. I was told that it was called that because that was when the three wise men found the Christ child and presented their presents. Since Christmas now is so commercial most people say New Year’s Day is now the end of Christmas season.

[@ninapross3337]

Do you know how market st is not decorated

[@johnjmccabe4691]

Captain great videos about Birthplace of America , Philadelphia, please show and explain to the people the first White House , President s house at 6th and Market, both George Washington and John Adams lived there , no marked , explained well

24F or 64F, Philly looks the same all winter: some folks in parkas and some folks in t-shirts. And the word you were looking for is "necrophilia". 🙄
