And speaking of the best largest public restrooms back in the day, Imma take ya way back. Gimbel's, Wanamaker's and Lit Brothers had the absolute best swanky restrooms in Center City. The best everything period. Wow I really miss those stores. 🙂 Edit: Philly has the best murals. There's a group of wonderful artists that does them, getting the talented children artists of Philly involved. 😎 Nice video, I've liked and subscribed. 🙂

Great vid and history tour as always Captain. My dad and stepmom are actually Quaker. Philly has so many little spots that others just don't know about...always nice to just get out and explore our fine city. Go Phillies...I told you a few months ago at the Phillies game when things weren't looking too good...always believe in...The Hunt for Red October!

Basically stores are closing everywhere not just Philly. The economy has been bad for many many many years now with no real recovery. And the pandemic didn't help anything. And Philly does have some beautiful areas like Rittenhouse Square,I love the parks around there. That's my hometown, and I hate the bad rap that it gets. Philly has some of the most helpful, kindest, coolest people in the world.😎

Entertaining video of Center City, but misses an important point: the overzealous redevelopment of this area. Two huge office/mixed use buildings are presently in construction, one nearly complete, down around South 7th Street below Market. These buildings are making this neighborhood cramped, almost claustrophobic, reducing sunlight and air circulation, adding to the already horrendous vehicular and pedestrian traffic congestion in the area. And, new buildings of smaller scale are also adding to the crowding, as the structures have no setbacks from the sidewalks. The character of the neighborhood is being needlessly changed due to flawed zoning variances. This issue would serve as a fruitful basis for another clip, Captain. But, thanx for your effort on this one.

That's why i say that Philadelphia and Chicago are distant cousins my friend Rittenhouse Square kinda reminds me of Grant and Millennium Park your Kensington is just like our West Garfield Park
@LUIS-ox1bv
@LUIS-ox1bv Жыл бұрын
From someone who has lived in both Philadelphia and Chicago, Grant Park and Millennium Park, both little resemble Rittenhouse Square, since both of those parks are much, much larger, and are not squares, surrounded by high rise residences. A closer resemblance, is found in Washington Square, in Chicago. And no neighborhood in Chicago comes close to having the scenes of human degradation, on such a large, explicit, scale and scope, as Kensington in Philadelphia.
