      He is a great guy. He went through a bout of cancer a few years back and couldn't wait to return to making cheesesteaks and roast pork once he got better. Solid human being.

    He’s 100% right about the bread.
    As a punk rock kid I spent a lot of my teenage years on South Street hanging out at Skinz and Zipperhead (I preferred Skinz.)
    Philly is known as the Mural Capital of the World with over 4,000 works of community-based public art.
    Thanks to the Captain for actually giving really good Philly knowledge. 👍👏

    Video paused at 7:27. Adam, I love almost all of your baseball videos. You were screwed in the 5 hour game with Ricky, but the A's videos were amazing, and the Daphne video at Angels stadium was magical, and well-edited. Sorter game, delightful enthusiasm from Daphne, your dry sense of humor, all great in a 2 1/2 hour game. I would love to see meet or take Daphne to ballparks all over the country, as she wants to go to more games. You two, like you and The Philly Captain, are magical together. You and Zack Hample together would be great, as well. You were great in one of Zack's last year, as a surprise Guest Star.

    Excellent video as always. Growing up in Philadelphia, it was so nice to revist it with the Woo. True fact, my dad was an architect in Philly for many years and knew Ed Bacon. Ed is famous in Philly for his city planning and is an award winning author of "Design of Cities", a classic architectual tome. In my dad's circles, Kevin was "Ed Bacon's kid" as opposed to Ed being "Kevin Bacon's dad". Thanks for the trip!

    This was pretty awesome to see for me personally. Loved baseball and the Phillies as a kid and it kinda hit the back burner for me as I grew up, but I always loosely followed. Recently I began becoming more interested again, right at the time Adam started making his baseball videos. Over the past 2 years I’ve been more into baseball more than any other sport and made it back to Citizens Bank for over 10 games last year. Philly has tons of little quirks and a ton of personality, glad to see you visiting Adam

Great to see all the sights, food, history, and had many laughs. I wish the Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell museum would have been open. I would have definitely enjoyed seeing the inside of the Independence Hall. I hope you and Philly Captain will make another vlog while you are there. Thanks for sharing. Happy Trails.

    This place has so much history and culture, looks amazing. For anyone watching that bit about the Declaration of Independence bit about being in German first is sort of true. Only for THIS area. A few hundred copies of it were all done at once and this area was home to more immigrants than most. While it was published on July 4th, German copies started to circulate a week or so later in an effort to inform people of all nations who were here. Such a cool point in history!

    Awesome, jam-packed day! This is what I'm here for! I have a koala on my dashboard named "Larry" cuz I think all koalas sort of look like Larry Fine, heheh. Love Philly Captain's energy, esp his Lit Brothers building tip for a unique lunch spot. Mild obsession with Ben Franklin, really loved seeing where he went to borrow his famous Lightning key! Independence Hall is a humbling experience, and a must-see for everyone that can. That gorgeous mosaic is made of Tiffany glass, the same family behind Tiffany lamps, and Tiffany & Co. etc Also, Norman Rockwell's famous "Puppy Love" sunset painting is the very first painting I ever fell in love with as a kid, so last I checked the OG is at home now within Rockwell's own museum in MA. Eesh I could go on and on, but this is a comment section-- not a letter to Ndugo, haha Thanks you guys, Bravo! 👋👋👋
