  1. Long ago when I lived in Philly, I had a total of four vehicle windows broken by no-goodniks. Two vehicles, my personal car and work vehicle.
    The captain makes Philly seem so appealing that it's good to see the other side.

  2. Wasn't that AMTRAK that went past you? It is one of the three trains we have near me in Florida, and it sure looked like AMTRAK. Nice run through the neighborhood. Bridge Street brings back memories of the 59-B Bus. I took it to Bridge and Pratt to get the EL Train.

  3. Some of the candies produced by the Blumenthal Brothers Chocolate Company were Goobers, chocolate-coated peanuts introduced in 1925

    Malties, chocolate-covered malt balls

    Fruit and Nut Bridge Mix

    Milk Chocolate Treats, which were nearly identical to Hershey Kisses.

    Chunky bars, trapezoidal chocolate bar with nuts and raisins

    Sno Caps, semi-sweet chocolate candies covered with white nonpareils introduced in 1927.

    Raisinets, chocolate-coated raisins introduced in 1927.
    The company, after going bankrupt, was sold several times before Ferrero in 2018.

  4. Hey philly captain, Edgmont street by the cemetary has had a string of catalytic converters stolen from multiple cars. If you do any night trips you may catch some hood rats at work.
    ? Riders Lumber has been there since 1978.

  5. My brother remembers when that stretch of I-95 along street road was blocks of hundreds of row homes taken by emminent domain. An entire neighborhood displaced. Now it looks like a waste land of concrete, trash, and weeds.

  7. Loved seeing the old factory buildings and signs. I used to work at Hollywood Video, I think in 97. It was the one up by Roosevelt Mall, it was a hike from Fishtown. Great place to work but I hated the uniform. Tuxedo shirt, cumberbun and bow tie.

  8. There are still some old school hardware stores around. My go to is S&H at Castor and Unruh. That place is great for hard to find parts. A must for working on old houses in Philly that don't match today's "standards".

  9. My grandmother worked in that yarn factory in Port Richmond. I remember as a kid my mom would bring me to visit her and I would run around the factory. Who knows if that was safe but I remember it being fun.

  10. "By the mid-1800, chocolate in Philadelphia was a thriving industry. Big names included Quaker City Chocolate, Wilbur, Laurent and Maron, Whitman's…" Think Hershey started in the Philly area before heading west

  11. In my old neighborhood again!! Had you kept going down Gillingham to Ditman, and make a right on Ditman, I lived on the 4500 block of Ditman throughout my childhood. You turned up Torresdale and stopped filming right before you got to Orthodox…Orthodox is pretty bad now (it was bad growing up, but it got worse). Be careful around there.

  12. They need to add a turning lane an signal to that intersection an that would elevate all the crap in the morning with the traffic. My 2 youngest go to Maritime an it’s a pain in the morning with traffic. I think they do not get input from residents or people that “actually” travel that intersection like most other parts of the city.
