    Graves from the late 1800's seem particularly poignant. Graves earlier than that feel 'historic', the lives of the people harder to imagine. People from the late 1800's seem closer to us, easier to imagine, yet now they're largely forgotten, their graves not visited.

    respect for being brave enough to film a nasty city like philadelphia. Even more so west philly where each and every idiot has a gun in the pocket. You are a better man than me. I would never freely walk around in a place were nobody values human life holding a camera with only my goodwill and no licensed protection of my own.

      30% of my viewers do not live in the United States. I said East Philadelphia just so they could get a picture of where I was coming from. I live in Bridesburg. It’s not quite northeast Philly and if I said the River wards nobody would know what I was talking about.

      @30215PAPE 2 года назад

      @@ThePhillyCaptain I jus never herd anybody ever say East Philly in my 38 years on this earth but Bridseburg could be considered northeast if u look at Philly ona map it's directly east of North. I know what u saying tho it's different names for different neighborhoods and technically the northeast like Mayfair/ oxford circle/holmaseburg/Tacony etc. but some ppl say north and east of Frankford /Tacony creek is northeast and some say once your past Frankford is🤷🏻 guess it's all bout perspective. But be careful over there it a warzone over there not far at all from where u are in this video

    One thing I was really trying to make clear graveyards can go sour that means negative spirits can dwell in there also that's why I don't visit graveyards after the dead is buried keep their memories alive the good memories in our minds it is just a shell left of what was there not there this spirit is not trapped Underground I don't think Yeshua or Jesus what do that to us I believe it goes directly back to the father or Goes to Hell

    What you said about Will Smith as really not even true you talk about Fresh Prince of Bel-Air that has nothing to do with his real life and he didn't move because he threw a basketball at some bad guy don't believe everything you see on TV not even the news man and I think you'll be ok I believe Will Smith move because he was closer to his movie sets and he makes more money period
