    Looks dirty in comparison to when I was a kid growing up there. Many homes are not being kept up, looks run down.

      I lived in olney in the 70s and 80s. I bought my charvel Jackson at Zapfs in 1987, still have it in mint condition. I also worked at spains cards and gifts on 5th street. Was such a nice neighborhood back then, such a shame.

    Grew up in Olney from 1988 when I was 4, and we moved out in 1999. I’ve missed it so much ever since I left, even though it’s changed so much :( walked home from school at Lowell on 5th every day, went to the library, walked to fisher park, walked to the Olney plaza when I was old enough. I dream I’m back on fairhill all the time!
    Omg Lowell got a playground now?! Nice!
    I’ve spent soooo much time at fisher park! They used to have an awesome haunted house there in that building!!!! And yes, we used to get scared in those woods… so much fun!!!

    I grew up in Olney. I didn’t call it Ol An Knee. Also, it’s FRONT and Olney, not FIRST and Olney. I think this is the narrator’s first trip to Olney.

    • @ThePhillyCaptain
      @ThePhillyCaptain  2 года назад +1

      It’s definitely my first trip in Olney. That’s my gimmick I get lost in neighborhoods on my scooter . The strip Mall is called first and olney.

    In fisher park I used to ride my bike down one of those rollercoaster trail. We used to call it “Deadman hill” it was pretty scary considering how tall and fast you go down hill but it was a lot fun. The one you went down was for starters lol Also there once’s was a rumor that their was a naked guy living in that forest… some say he’s still there.
