- Port Richmond is a neighborhood in the River Wards section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is notable for its extremely large Polish immigrant and Polish American community.[1] The neighborhood is also home to a large Irish American community and sizable German and Italian communities as represented in the various churches and organizations. In more recent years, a sizable Albanian community has moved in. The Richmond Zip Code is 19134 and 19125.
The neighborhood is bounded by the Castor Avenue to the northeast, Somerset Street to the southwest, the Delaware River to the southeast, and Trenton Avenue/the railroad to the northwest. While there is some dispute about the western boundary of the neighborhood, some people stating either Aramingo Avenue or Frankford Avenue, general consensus among residents on either side of Trenton Avenue or the railroad is that those east of it claim Port Richmond and those west of it claim Kensington.
While some have referred to Port Richmond as Richmond, there is an area named Richmond, not colloquially used often, refers to the most northeast section of the neighborhood. Adjacent neighborhoods are Bridesburg to the northeast, Juniata to the north, Harrowgate and Kensington to the west, Fishtown and Olde Richmond to the southwest.

Kensington is a neighborhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Its placement within the broader division of sections of Philadelphia is debated, but it is often considered as a dividing line between or belonging to both the Lower Northeast section of Philadelphia and North Philadelphia. It is generally considered part of the Philadelphia River Wards. Modern Kensington is larger than the former Kensington District, and unlike Kensington District it does not include Fishtown.
As with all neighborhoods in Philadelphia, the lack of any official designation means the boundaries of the area vary between sources and over time. Traditionally, Kensington is known for its large working class Irish Catholic community. Kensington was the location of the Philadelphia Nativist Riots in the 19th century.[2]
Kensington is also the birthplace of the K&A Gang, (currently known as the Northeast Philly Irish Mob), an Irish American organized crime network. Originally, Kensington was also home to a large English American community. For example, the six Episcopal parishes in the neighborhood (Emmanuel, Free Church of St. John, Good Shepherd, St. Ambrose, St. Luke's, and St. Nathanael's) were founded by 19th-century immigrants from England.
Along with Irish Americans, Kensington is also home to a large population of Hispanic Americans (mainly Puerto Ricans, Dominicans), African Americans, and Polish Americans. The neighborhood has also recently seen a large influx of young urban professionals and gentrification.[3]

Allegheny West is a neighborhood in the North Philadelphia section of Philadelphia. It is named after an association formed by Pep Boys and Tasty Baking Company, among others, and the community bordering East Falls, Strawberry Mansion and Tioga-Nicetown. Its location in the vicinity of Allegheny Avenue on the western side of Broad Street.
Like many neighborhoods in North Philadelphia, Allegheny West is primarily a poor African-American enclave that has suffered post-industrial decline and disinvestment. It faced one of the largest population losses of any neighborhood in Philadelphia between the 1990 and 2000 census. Vacant industrial sites, such as those once used to build commuter rail trains by Budd Steel (later obtained by Krupp), have in recent years been used in film productions. The former Tasty Baking Co. food production facility is undergoing renovation as a mixed-use site; The former headquarters has been leveled to make way for a 75000 sq. ft grocery-anchored outlet mall.
Housing in Allegheny West is very affordable. In 2005, the 19132 zip code, which contains sections of Allegheny West and North Central, had a median home sale price of $26,450. This was the lowest median price of any zip code in Philadelphia. Housing appreciated by 9% between 2004 and 2005. Allegheny West, per modern definition of the area, also contains sections of the 19129 zip code which is disputably East Falls.

There used to be a club right at Allegheny and Ridge ave called "The Little Casino". My rock band played many nights at the club in 1966 and 1967. We were called "The Agents" and later "The Avengers' The club had a large stage with day glow colors and UV lighting. This was one of the most fun places our band played. WE played from 9pm till 2 am getting a break every hour which the guys in the band would sit in our cars and have a few sips of bourbon . We got real loose and played even better as the night went on.

Thank you Kim ❤️💙❤️☮️ I suppose your on the west coast lol. 😉🙌🏼
Thanks again Toon, great video as always
Thank you sir! I appreciate the support
Did you notice all the big empty buildings that used to be manufacturing buildings many years ago?
I just watched a news report on the Badlands in 1998 from some local station, and it was crazy. I can’t believe how much worse the streets looked than they do today. I thought it was bad now, but way less bandos, no burnt out cars on the street, not nearly as much rubble everywhere as there used to be it seems.
When cop was rushing me to the spital when i got shot in face he drove on sidewalk from G st. all way to D st. Like 50mph shit was crazy
Looks pretty clean actually
Can you please drive down marshall and cambria?
I have tons of footage in that area. Look through my previous tours. About 500 tours covering 100+ different neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Including the Fairhill hood. The intersection you mentioned is located in Fairhill 🙏🏽❤️ Thanks for commenting. Have a wonderful day
@2:25 shout out Joe Kelley great lawyer beat my case at 1st case review

Me too
What are they high or just bad drivers?
Lol
Thank you for the tour @toon215
Hey I saw it as private but here it is!
Yea I had no choice but to put it on public. It was scheduled all day, then the second 8 pm rolls around it automatically set it self to private smh. I even tried instant premier right after that. And nope. It went back to private so I said whatever lol I just put it on regular public without the live chat, but I need the live chat back because I know you guys enjoy that feature ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼
@@TOON215 well it’s good to see it at its regularly scheduled time tho
Cat like reactions Toon!!! 🚗👍
Hey my brother how come you don’t use the 360 in all your videos that would be awesome
Thanks for watching. And leaving a comment. They don’t get watched that often. Just look at the views on those and you’ll see. Not many people watch them.
Example I have a skid row California 360 walking tour and only about 12,000 people watched that. The same identical walk was captured simultaneously the same time/day. (Basically the same walk because I was capturing from 2 cameras) 360 cam on my head, standard cellphone shot from my chest body cam. The regular cam had 110,000 views 😂 mind you the 360 came out before the body cam.
Lastly it’s a lot more work, larger files (4K) then they need to be converted several times, transferred, edited and exported , then take 24-48 hours each for youtube to complete the processing so it’s viewable for you guys,
The standard videos require no editing, smaller file size and takes about a hour or 2 to finish processing on RUclips 😅👍🏼
I didn’t know you did one in Cali I’m gonna check that out thanks bro
Toon be like: You member, member? 😂
