STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA - ONLY IN PHILLY

[@bobross3080]

This is like another Mummers parade, Kool video. The TV coverage wasn't as good as when PHL17 carried it. They used to have the fancy division at night, which was nice, but I don't think it was even televised this year. I may have missed it, but I couldn't find any info on the internet about it. I did find something, which I believe said it was being held at !0:00 AM, the same time as the parade. I wouldn't think they would do that though.

I grew up around Philly. Left in 89' Thanks for sharing. Lots of fond memories. I don't miss it much accept for the food😉

My Dad wrote the org. "Flyers Fight Song". Back in 73-74. It's on KZbin .. sung by Steve Lawlor & the Red Garter Band (from Wildwood. I think that's Flip Flops now.)

We definitely do love you, Ferko Captain! Thanks, Philly Captain, another great video!

Yo Cap that church was where Angelo Bruno's funeral was

Now THIS brings back memories for this little Expat.... I remember when South Philly was all Jewish and Italian. I miss the food, and the music, the opera and all-- My father was one of the original "back-room gang" at the old Victor Cafe (Which used to be the Smithsonian Institution of recorded vocal music).

That sure looked like a lot of fun. As for Mafia or Mob, I guess the Philly Inquirer gave us fictional accounts of some den of sin named the Merlino and Mazzone clans. Evidently, KZbin did as well in the many channels here on the subject including Mob Talk News & Infinite-Lee Productions. Bobby Darin was born in Harlem and grew up in the Bronx. He was also of Italian descent. Darn good singer, too. Thanks for the terrific coverage of the Mummers. They are always fun.

Bobby Rydell, was he in the Christmas episode of Bonanza?

Fun Fact: I grew up in South Philly's Point Breeze neighborhood on Taylor Street between 25th & 24th Dickerson Sts until I moved to the Poplar neighborhood @ Age 5 because my parents had an argument & our house was falling apart. U don't have to like this comment.

フィラデルフィアは麻薬依存者が沢山集まる街。だけれども、市民はこんな風に元気に祭りも楽しんでいるんだな！良き。

I’d expand under the windows.

Born and bred Philadelphian it's not South Philadelphia but South Philly.
