NEW HOPE, PENNSYLVANIA - THE POLICE STOP ME ON THE SCOOTER (MAIN STREET TOUR)

[@JackieBuckleyphilly5]

Thanks for the tour of New Hope. My daughter and I lived there back in the eighties. she went to high school in New Hope, I was a school bus driver at the high school. Ocassionally my son would join us and he worked on the towpath leading the mules that pulled the barrages full of tourists up and down the canal. My honest opinion of the town was that the people there are snobby, I was really surprised when I saw a Dunkin' Donuts on Main St. Back when I was living there anything "main stream" was frowned upon.

Collect those Kenso chickens and relocate them to live with the New Hope ducks.

[@debskatana]

Thank you for the tour of New Hope I haven’t been there since I moved out to Ohio in 2007 I miss my home state and miss Philly

[@samanthab1923]

It’s changed so much. Overdevelopment.

[@AWSmith1955]

Years ago we would tour New Hope, Usually at first snow. But went there many times during the summer. At the time the canal suffered a several season dry spell. The guide at the canal tenders house when asked about why it was dry told us that when they restored that canal lock they couldn't get it to seal because the lumber the lock gates were made from would float! Me and my wife Sue made our own New Hope tour KZbin video in 2010 but it has copywrite issues because of the music on the train.

Great video Captain showing us the sights, history landmarks, Bucks Cty Playhouse, shops and more along Main St/Rte 232...Nice view of Del River/NJ, Antique Row of Lambertville, NJ and more up there...Ok scoot on and TOODLES..

[@andreaviola8675]

You actually passed the best kept secret in New Hope...Martines which is to the far left of the playhouse. The other great place is Zoubis . Fun thing to do...go into the visitors center and get the scavenger hunt map. There are plenty of beautiful sculptures to see that you have passed by unknowingly.

[@MrTrolleyguy]

At 75 New Hope doesn’t have the appeal to me that I had as a younger man. Window shop, people watching, more window shopping.. THANKS for the tour

[@teresawilson3893]

Oh Pennsylvania is just beautiful wow you had a beautiful day there

[@chalieatlas1508]

That cop was such an ass for telling you ya can't scooter in the street , WDF ? But yet they can ride their 10 speed bikes on River rd /32/ N main st .with just enough room for cars to drive on and that's ok "Geepers" , ..I know put him down in kenzo an see how that works out for him ..lol.

[@lhughes845]

Capt, you dont know about New Hope's greatest band? Those tshirts were Ween shirts.

[@ericatkinson83]

I am in Warrington, i ride my scooter around 611 and horsham with no problems yet.. where else do you ride? What kind of scooter do you have?

[@billlane2006]

Funny I lived in Philly in the 80's and never once visited this place. I live about 4 hours from there now I might have to take a trip this summer.

[@daviddawicki6730]

To New Hope? You need a geography lesson.

[@zippydodahquirk9039]

There are a lot of snobs in New Hope and everything is over priced.

[@melifter8897]

Yes; I live three miles from New Hope. The real estate is very expensive.

[@blueeyes7105]

Yes

[@davidhitchen5369]

I hike the canal through there pretty regularly. I see lots of wildlife along there. When I was a kid in the early 70's my dad took me on the New Hope-Ivyland train. It's a stream engine. That's still operational.There were also barges pulled by mules that you could ride on the canal. They are long gone. When I was really little I remember we drove through and a mob of hippies was sitting by the cannon. One of them shot me a peace sign.

[@tweezerjam]

My hometown, it’s such a cool place.

[@scottyasparro6154]

generally every town mostly smaller ones do not have a 1st Street. This is because in most cases at some point in time these they were reamed to Main Street. Chances are Main st. is the most used name fior what wa once 1st. Street.

[@bob4364]

Hey PHilly CAPTAIN, there you were yesterday, a nice Sunny Mon Presidents Day 🇺🇸 traveling north to New Hope, Pa upper Bucks Cty near NJ...Very exciting, adventurous and interesting...Casual to fancy...

[@hlee4012]

It was nice to see New Hope and the Bucks County Theater reminded me that Grace Kelly acted in a play there before she became famous. Maybe you could do a video about Grace Kelly and show us where she lived in Philadelphia and her old neighborhood?

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

I have!

[@samanthab1923]

Her old family home has been renovated & open for tours.

[@debs5157]

Hi Captain! You were speaking of bad taste sensations...the other day I bought a big bag of potato sticks...later opened them really dying for a handful and got the worst taste sensation ever...by mistake I picked up sour cream and onion flavored, yuk! I hate that flavor! Anyhoo...hope you and your family are doing good & thanks for this vid, New Hope is the cutest lil town!

[@babylove7139]

Like night and day from Kensington beautiful 🤷‍♀️👍🤗💯

[@minacox1821]

So much history. I love it. You have a beautiful city

[@pgwphoto]

Great tour! BTW, I rode my bike across the New Hope/Lambertville bridge in traffic. As I reached the end in Lambertville a Delaware River Bridge commission officer walked up to me and said I must walk my bike on the pedestrian walkway. Not yelling at me but said calmly no riding in traffic on the bridge. His demeanor was very cool. Oops! I didn’t know any better. Lesson learned!

[@vanillanice4664]

Please obey local rules and regulations....except in Philly of course.

[@Robmarley-uo1ts]

I grew up about a 5-minute walk from where this video started I'm a African-American male the cops used to pull up in my driveway and asked me what I'm doing around here even though I lived there for about 17 years

[@paulne1514]

No music? Only one Harley! Years ago, that town was more lively!

[@grwilson58]

The Harleys will be back in force as soon as the weather hits the 60s regularly you can count on that, then it gets real noisy from time to time.

[@maya_coqsalonga]

Heroin is illegal in Pa. just like riding scooters in certain areas of town.

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

Is it? I was told by cops heroin is legal in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXnTinyrmbyoqqc

@B Keene ...oh, sorry...Kensington Ave & Allegheny Ave (K&A) an area in inner city Philly that used to be a great place to live, but now is in ruins. Here’s one of Captains videos. As bad as it is, he doesn’t get hassled by the cops there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJiWe6Z9j9yKbZo

Nice to see New Hope hasn't changed. The cop was just being helpful, I'm glad you didn't get a ticket. I used to live near there and now live in Philly. What a huge difference. I like Philly better, though.

I believe there is some form of registration process that may allow you to use the scooter in PA. You must have insurance for it or so I understand. Anyways, nice tour.

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

e scooters are like skateboards you do not need insurance

[@phillyirish2073]

@@ThePhillyCaptain They are considered a motorized vehicle, you cant legally drive them on the street without insurance/registration or turn signals and brake lights. They would fall under the same category as a dirt bike, the only exception is for electric wheelchairs.

[@merccadoosis8847]

@@phillyirish2073 e-scooter laws in Pennsylvania according to Benedum legal website: _PENNSYLVANIA TREATS E-SCOOTERS AS MOTOR-DRIVEN CYCLES Pennsylvania does not have a separate law governing the use of electric scooters. Instead, PA law considers e-scooters to be “motor-driven cycles,” which are subject to several specific requirements. Essentially, PA requires e-scooters to follow the same rules and regulations as motorcycles. That means e-scooters must be titled and registered, must have proper insurance coverage, and must satisfy a variety of requirements concerning equipment and inspection. For example, motorcycles must have fenders, turn signals, lights, and other equipment to be considered road-safe_

[@mikeblaz]

@@merccadoosis8847 I think Philly Captain is use to Philly where they don't give a shit about stuff like this. Hell, people ride illegal dirt bikes on the streets freely in Philly. Legal or not legal personally I wouldn't want to drive a e-scooter w/so many people on the sidewalks. If someone doesn't hear you and makes a quick step right/left you'll hit them. When walking you can stop on a dime and probably hold the person from falling...

[@merccadoosis8847]

@@mikeblaz What you say is true. But in all fairness, the cop who stopped him was correct. I've seen cops hand out summonses at times like that and am glad he didn't do so at this time. Anyways, Captain needs that scooter so that he can get to the chickens and feed them. Let's hope he isn't stopped again.
