I used to live right next Fisher Park & 7 Street in my earlier age as child. Your bring back memories that was good, thank you! I walked my puppy in that Park everyday. Have a wonderful day!
Hello Philly Captain on this Tuesday...There you were scooting and doing it along Olney section of Phila...Very exciting and something different around Phila to do...Great video...Until your next part 2 Olney video, TOODLES on...
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!!!
Sorry but this is heartbreaking….. I knew Fishers park by heart… too many years ago … so many memories of carefree , safe , playful days. Nothing can bring back those days ….
Also I noticed in that Olney shopping plaza the Shop Rite still operates after all these years...Along 5th St where you were, there was Zapfs Music Store and School Corp site...Zapfs had another location in Pennsauken NJ at one time...
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.
That Bar you’d pass back on 5th. & Olney was once a Go Go bar many years ago now it’s called Sips plus a Donuts Plus is right across the street from there because I’ve always come through there .
born& raised there Fishers park had 4th of july thing for kids fernrock movie was across the street50 cents for a kid matinee was a good life back in the 50ths
Grew up at Fairhill and Rockland Streets; from 1961-1975. Attended Incarnation at 5th and Lindley Ave. 8yrs.... Fishers Park, Olney High Fireworks 🎆 on the 4th of July, Scouts, The Fernrock Movie 🍿 Hey, Shout Out to you; Phìlly Captain !!! BTW, it's 2nd Street; NOT 2:Street. Peace Out, Vince 🇮🇹
Hey Captain, i used to cruise thru Olney many times in the past other famous places in Olney back in our day were The closed down Cardinal Dougherty Catholic High School..
First movie theater i was ever in was at 5th and Fern ...Fern Rock movie theater....Fishers park was where we used to bomb cars with snowballs a lot of good hiding spots ...and keg parties
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.

4:04 to 4:11 was the former Schwartzwald Inn. A very popular restaurant for dinners and celebrations.
When I made my holy communion we had a dinner party there

Ok. Didn't think so. They're older.
Looks dirty in comparison to when I was a kid growing up there. Many homes are not being kept up, looks run down.

Cool thanks bud
Yo Cap thats my hood 5700 American St between Grange and Chew moved out in 97
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.
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.
It looked like this 20 years ago
I know this area
Alley way.
I call it an Alley but a cut thru would work
Hay Captain why is it on only members mode for your game night ?
To make people sign up for memberships
@@ThePhillyCaptain ok

@@ThePhillyCaptain what kind of scooter u riding?
