Damn Capt .. I was going to call 911 .. you was panting pretry bad 🤣

[@HighHopes0618]

You're a pretty cool dude...do a tour of Brewery Town and Strawberry Mansion.

[@kenmchale2953]

Hey captain go to intersection of Rochelle and Freeland Ave and you will come to 100 steps made of brick 🧱 and mortar.

[@melodytschanz9132]

The first hill you started walking up from Main street was The Wall, just the bottom half of it. The Wall goes all the way up to Ridge Ave. The street you ran up the steps, at the top of Gay Street, I used to walk up them to catch the school but every morning at 6:45 am. Scary when the sun doesn't rise until 8am. I was born and raised in Manayunk.... I've seen it go from absolutely nothing to THE place to go out....

My ex used to like to go to manayunk for cycling and such.

[@bob4364]

Hey Captain, here's what manayunk means from Google.. The name Manayunk is derived from the Lenape Indian word "manaiung" meaning "where we go to drink." The derivation is largely due to the availability of water with the completion of the Manayunk Canal, the first canal started in the United States. ... The Borough of Manayunk was incorporated into Philadelphia in 1854...

Manayunk means "place were we drink". Probably Lenope?

[@steev7343]

Yep it’s Lenape for drinking water

[@bob4364]

Captain besides Manayunk brewing Co and canal, a lot of interesting stores, residents and more...Yes back in our day, Me the Bobbyb used to go up there cruising my Philly gang many of times....Also one of my friends with their family were from Roxborough and Manayunk...

[@m.b8106]

Very nice and hilly. Very nice!!! It seems to be an own town. But it belongs to Philadelphia, right? Nice video again. Two thumbs up!

[@zachr4526]

Manayunk translates to “a place to drink” ...no BS that’s what it actually translates to. They probably meant water (wudder) tho 🤷‍♂️

[@dylanjonhson3302]

Generally speaking for most of these videos, do you often drive to these locations and then break out the scoot, take public transportation and then scoot, or just scoot the whole way?

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

Never public transportation... Yes to the other two

[@dylanjonhson3302]

@@ThePhillyCaptain Nice, I had been wondering for a while. I was looking up the scooters and they get decent range, not sure I would trust it for some of the distances you go in the videos.
