PHILADELPHIA HOODS (Kensington) Worse or Better than 1 Year Ago?

[@michaeldusso6882]

It looks like they cleaned things up quite a bit, but the question then becomes, WHERE did all the peeps go ?!?!?

[@jipsees1908]

Exactly 🎯

[@troncat8490]

yea I want to see it in the day

[@homeoftek5844]

Tours look better at night when all the city lights are on. That's why I chose to do my Broad Street Line and Market-Frankford Line videos at night

[@chrisrankinsmusiccrush9493]

Love all your videos. Love the positive spin you put on the situation. Visiting Philly from Perth Western Australia in September this year for my 4th visit to the USA and really enjoyed your Center City walk you did (only just recently watched) loved it and used it a lot for areas to walk. Brilliant channel.

[@PopePlatinumBeats]

i have a good friend who is a Philly NARCO... he said the new Mayor is putting full resources into Kensington to clean it up

[@MichelleMercado-ck7ws]

Sounds like she's using citizens resources to get rid of the homeless instead of helping them with housing and medical treatments

[@robertrudick2492]

Thank God. It is a playground for drug users. Love the Mayor for taking control.

[@zackmorris25]

Give it time...Kensington will be back to business as usual...It's just a temporary ploy...you'll see...wait till summer time..

Hats off to mayor Parker!She's just getting started❤❤❤

[@surfshack2]

In the 70’s and 80’s you did not want to wander into Kensington if you weren’t from there.

[@jamesdempsey9477]

you got that right

[@homeoftek5844]

Unless you're into the nightlife 😉

[@its_elser]

there was a movie called panic in needle park with al pacino but its set in nyc i believe from memory. the streets look a lot cleaner. not so much trash on the ground. good to see. thanks for the tour toon man

[@dietrikstein1871]

Thanks to your comment, I found the film on the Internet. It seems to be one of the first films with Al Pacino. He plays a drug addict in this movie (1971).

[@its_elser]

@@dietrikstein1871 yeah it not a bad movie. i enjoyed it

[@The-D-Hoyt]

That movie was just on over the air TV last week. It was on that MoviesTV channel. Usually it's movies from the 30s, 40s & 50s. But they show later movies too.

[@steev7343]

18:18 exactly they just be sittin around while they’re doing the drugs. I’ve peeped it so many times and it’s so confusing 😂

[@Batcave6]

Nice one Toon, my favorite neighborhood 💯 have a blessed Easter bro!

[@sbrown9020]

Hopefully it keeps getting better. And people get help. But they want to want the help...at 5:00 I know that block thats a Septa station Allegheny, Kensington corner

[@Nopee_Nopersun]

I think the Kensington crowd had scooted to Harrisburg and Reading.

[@jpf1974]

Allentown too. They are facing an opioid and xylazine epidemic there now.

[@williamhorn6184]

Watching movie now! They Filmed the Location For the Characters Business Across the Street On the same side as the park under the L tracks!

[@heathermanning5368]

Thanks for Sharing!

[@drewr5119]

Interesting video I also noticed they got rid of the Walgreens. Hopefully the new mayor gets Kensington Av under control.

[@gmoneyApexTrader8]

They definitely keep it confined to certain areas , that is true in most cities . They have redlines they enforce. The areas they are cleaning up are the area new condos and commercial properties will start being built

[@MichelleMercado-ck7ws]

My city Philadelphia thank you for your good work stay safe GBLU 🙌💯👍💯👍🙌

Shoutout to Hoodstunts KZbin Channel!

[@JoseOrtiz-14U2NV]

As you can see, it's a whole lot better than it used to be. They've been cleaning things up. You still have a few people here and there, but from what it used to be, it's a whole lot better. To be honest, the problem is still there. They just move around. The only difference is that you have less people than before. Some has gotten their lives together while the rest is either locked up or has passed away from over dose or killed. It's improving though.The biggest problem is the crime that's happening. Crime has gone up, especially the killings and carjackings.Too much shootings and carjackings going on and it's mainly coming from young kids. I can deal with the addicts. It's the crime that I can't deal with. You are pretty much not safe anywhere.

[@Likedale3]

Tax payer money finally well spent!.....as a guy in Redding, Calif.....just pick up the trash, we don't tolerate that around here. You've been here.

[@PopePlatinumBeats]

City actually re activated street cleaning crews and cleaning trucks just this week.

[@williamhorn6184]

Salute

[@jasperdildy980]

I Think the movies was "Rocky" - that picture was about professional boxing. By the way this is a nice video and I like the scenery. Thanks for the rider along.

[@PopePlatinumBeats]

Its not rocky..its Fighting Back starring Tom Skerrit..

[@edcooper3896]

Movie was fighting back in 1981

[@jamesdempsey9477]

yes it was ED
