Toon this is a fantastic video I have recently subscribed and I am so glad I did. I find your videos so interesting. I was not aware that Philly had so many stunning streets and beautiful buildings I could listen to you all day long. Keep the clips coming and thank you. I have learnt so much about the history of Philly.👍
Old City is a beautiful historical section of Philly I’ve wanted to go to Betsy Ross house I’ve also seen the Liberty Bell here. This is also a good area to go out cuz of all the nightlife.
@@are229 I was just on south street this weekend at Bob and Barbara’s. Jazz band was playing, apparently have played there for over 30 years. Super fun bar
Great video Toon why don't ever talk about Dick Clark and American Bandstand which started right there Philadelphia. And also please talk about our great black music, like Gamble and Huff.
Toon thanks again for the tour it's been a long time since I have seen that area WOW it looks great I used to work at 2nd and arch back in 1979 and I used to walk some of that area for lunch time didn't walk where you were but near the bell was my limit 😂. Stay safe out there.
Hey Toon black mirror moment, did you ever expect your waking videos to become prime time viewing in France ! Because it be happenin yeah that’s right so next time your walking about just know where walking with you. You light up our days thank you ! Namaste dude

I've documented that building a dozen times. I know what it was. 🤣 thanks for commenting. Over 500 tours on my channel covering over 100 neighborhoods. Including this area. Feel free to explore the page. Have a good day
I live in Old City. Toon, please stop calling the El the "blue line". Philadelphians have pretty much rejected the colors. Why? Because the colors aren't Philly. Thanks for doing these videos, though. The coffee shop you mention predates Starbucks showing up in the city.
I'm born and raised in Philadelphia. I don't speak for the over 1 million+ philadelphia residents and say they do or don't call something blue line or orange line. It's called the blue line because that's what it is. Orange line is the subway. Blue line is the El. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Have a good day

Thanks toon for the tour, fancy homes, architecture. Love the start with the subway train, it takes me back to my life back east.

I hope you show The Irish Memorial. It's right near Penn's Landing.
LOVE this tour! Thank you so much! This is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Philly. You have great videos and a cheerful personality!
You do have good taste haha

No not really
There was a shooting on south street and Benjamin Franklin parkway smh
@@are229 parts of south street are a little weird but I love hanging in this area. Super charming and nice night life
@@Dalt21 way back in the 80s south street was fun
All the punk rockers hung there

The Betsy Ross house is not her real house. The real one was torn down and was where that courtyard on Arch St is today.
Love this video mate I'm from Australia and I like being able to see the neighbourhoods where your from
I must commend you on your fine videos, especially Fishtown and this one of Old City
.
Amazing area!
Beautiful area Brother.Thanks for the tour.A ton of history for sure.
Great video Toon why don't ever talk about Dick Clark and American Bandstand which started right there Philadelphia. And also please talk about our great black music, like Gamble and Huff.
The building where Bandstand happened is still there at 46th and Market Sts.
438 Spruce Street listed on redfin for almost $800,000. Yikes! Really enjoy your videos Toon215. Thank you.

Looks like europe there very nice architecture

Not sure if you went through this neighborhood. You should walk through Manayunk in Philadelphia. So many hills in that neighborhood.

The NE neighborhoods are pretty much like they always have been.
It would be nice if they can liven the alley with restaurants/cafes and make it cool.
Can you do 4th and spruce ? That was my home
