I have not been to South Philadelphia in over 11 years, I miss it my mom was raised there and I would spend the weekends visiting my grandparents in the 60s and 70s.

My Mom too! 110 Mifflin St. Front and Mifflin... and I too visited my grandparents there in the 60s and 70s. I went back in 2007 and my Mom's street had changed. Looked gorgeous!

Captain about that Acme that took over in Snyder Ave plaza, the Shop Rite moved up to Whitman Plaza on Oregon Ave about 4 yrs ago at the former Pathmark..

[@bob4364]

Interesting about that abandoned ship in Port that has been there for many years...Also the US Coast Guard station, the pier with the nice overview of the Del River between BF and WW bridges via Camden NJ waterfront...

My Mom was raised there...110 Mifflin St. Front and Mifflin. Th next time I visit my cousins there, I'll go to John's Roast Pork. Thanks!

Nice scoot around South Philly, Captain. I'm a River Wards kid like you so South Philly always feels a bit strange to me. "2 St" is a bit more narrow up toward Pennsport where the mummer clubhouses are. If you're looking for some more unique rowhouses you won't find outside of South Philly as far as I know - check out the walkup-style houses at Bigler & Beulah near Stella Maris past Oregon way down south. They are pretty cool looking.

Thanks for the tour of the area where I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s. Of course, there have been some changes, but you would be surprised at how much it looks the same.

Johns Roast Pork the best for cheesesteaks per your rating....Up in NE Phila, per your prev video Steve's Prince of Steaks and more...My parents with our relatives grew up Captain originally in South Phila..
