The change at Wissahickon & Hunting Park makes me question what progress really means. Beautiful video as always!

The music got me going crazzi 😅

I so much prefer the clips like this where you included the dates on the "then" photos

Am I late?

Great video, thank you !

I prefer then when it was cleaner.

Thank you!!

Notice the “then” pics. Everything is cleaner & orderly.

Some of the then look better than the now

Not a single yuppie or hipster in sight! No annoying speed bumps or bike bollards or pavement bump outs! Bring it back!!!

Awesome , thank you!

Most of the Thens look better than the Nows with the exception on 4th and South- so much trash in the street Then. 1936 was the Depression era, may have been a factor.

GO MILITARY ⚔ My grandfather came back from the Battle of the Bulge and they moved to 5th and Girard. My father and all family were in the NAVY. ❤❤❤❤❤❤Thank you Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸 Nostrovia 🎉🎉🎉

Any photos from the east oak lane section of Philadelphia?

Thank you for your awesome work. Frankford and amber station I believe is still there

Thank you!!

I really enjoyed watching this video of Philly then and now, especially the scenes where the original buildings and roads were under construction. Great job! 👍

I was a 6th District cop for 30 years always wondered what was there years ago

Pretty neat😅

Absolutely great video, lot of work put forth to make this. Would you by chance have any photos of the Fishtown area of the city , I’m particularly looking for a southwest photo of Gordon and Tulip streets ? I’ve seen a photo back in early 90s looking northeast and northwest but I haven’t been able to acquire any southwest. Thank you for the awesome video!!

Philly hasn't had a Republican mayor City council since 1954. And there are people that will argue and not accept that has nothing to do with why Philly has gotten so bad. Or they'll blame "White people"

Why u gotta upload when I’m asleep bruh

they look nice

Thanks for the video. Great work.

The loss of warehouses and factories in the inner city decimated the inner city. Additionally, the loss of businesses moving to the suburbs left a 'donut hole' in the city. Most of the ppl in these sections of the city have been generationally low-income, and they can't afford to keep up with maintenance on these older houses. They're good ppl who try, but the cost of doing things has been overwhelming. Their dependence on the govt. and govt. programs and not businesses re-developing the city is part of the problem. Temple has been buying many of the houses and redeveloping, as well as Drexel and Penn, but their needs to be more reinvestment into the inner city to get rid of the blight. Many of the newer developments in North and South Philadelphia look similar to modular-style homes in Europe. So, it is changing but it is a long and arduous process.

Where did you get those panoramic views from? I've never seen them before.

chat new vid just dropped

The owner of the porch house with the bay windows could not have been happy. Those 3 story porch and bay window homes were eventually torn down for a school parking lot. Probably taken by emminent domain. It's now Franklin Learning Center. What a beautiful neighborhood those residents had created.

The houses on Mt. Vernon Street and Wallace Street next to the school, would become a school parking lot by the 1960's. We use to play in that lot. Minibikes would be driven and stolen cars in that lot.

That was a beautiful apartment building. It’s a shame it’s gone. Thanks for the tour.

Fantastic! 👍

Nice work

1:23 Tasker Ave? Tasker is a a street not a Avenue

Places always seem to look better from way back, it’s the same when I see old photos of my country, must be the nostalgia and black and white film

Thanks for getting back to me, that's great, I like watching the septa and Philadelphia past videos.

Can you do a regular video instead of the sides being bleary

The El and the Bullein sign is a great intro!

How about the 1000 block of E Moyamensing Ave

Why didn't Philadelphia have any filmmakers taking footage of the city years ago? Just still photos? That can't be correct.

So many buildings built with the power tool being invented in 1895. Who really built our city?

Some of the older colorless images seem nicer, but with color might look like the current ones. The lack of color makes them look more uniform.

How about 1000 block of E Moyamensing Ave? And the 200 block of Manton Street?

then was better than now.

Old Photos of Old Philadelphia are much more appealing than modern Philadelphia 😮..Great Video 📸 Snaps🎉❤

What is with the hokey scratchy film effects? These are still pictures!

Where are the European American places?left out again.

@Philadelphia Then and Now can you do some Northeast Philly then and now photos

Nothing in my old neighborhood.
