Don't understand why they can't do both things: keep William Penn and build a monument to the Natives. Why does everything have to be black and white/either-or??

@@carstarfilm That's the first thing I thought of. They should incorporate / include the statue & house in the new park. 5:37 Seriously, that house is about the same size as a child's doll house, it'll easily fit into the new park, same with the statue.

Glad to read your post about the statues being part of the park PHILLY CAPTAIN..Thank you for the update..

I really enjoy seeing your Philadelphia tour videos Captain!

Hey PHILLY CAPTAIN, great video with your Rick the Puppy along Del Ave..Also fine narration about William Penn, tribute to your late military Vet buddy Gene & more..TOODLES...

As a native American and fellow patriot i say leave the history alone, and the statue, LOVE WINS!

Keep the statues but also put in a proper tribute to the Leni Lenape people who welcomed Penn and the other settlers.

My oldest brother lived on Elfreth's Alley for a short while back in the 1960's when he was a hippie. He just rented or maybe flopped in someone else's house.

Rick The puppy don't #piss on the monument!

Always good seeing Rick the Puppy.

I like all of your video's, especially since my original pioneer arrived at Penn's Landing in 1754 and the last three generations of my family have lived in Philly at some point.

Awesome video, Mr. The Philly Capt.

Great video Captain! … Happy New Year 🎉

People are so righteous today,really

Here we are

you gotta great inflection in your voice. You should do broadcast or animation voice overs. I like your tour video. Thanks for sharing. That map of the city layout and the statue is great! Shame thay are changing it.

I told you before I live in ariz from south philly this vidio about Alfred's alley brings back memories of school trips keep up the good work toodles

The Captain is the best tour guide ever…no need for Ben Franklin impersonators

More outdoor videos with Rick the Puppy!

Really like your videos, keep it up!!

Great history lesson!

Good stuff!

Loved this video.

Great Video!! Your State has some of Best American History..

Rick the Puppy is a great historian 🐾

Great video ❗💯👍

Fascinating history of Pennsylvania has me wanting to visit

Thanks for sharing. The statues are so small I cant see why they cant stay in addition to the native American statue that they want to add. Some grass and a strong oak tree with a few benches would be nice. God Bless America!

When I worked at 4th and Walnut about 20 years ago, I would sometimes sit in that park and eat lunch. It really does need work, the sidewalks are all broken up, and probably a tripping liability. Probably one of the reasons why they want to fix it up.

Great video

Love the Flyers hat!

You coulda mentioned Phillies lore happened just up 2nd Street a bit where drunken Pat 'the Bat' and 'Jay Mike' thought they were the King Shits of the Olde City nightlife some 25 years ago. Then in that same locale just a couple years earlier when it was Upstairs at Nick's, I saw the Supersuckers. Then of course there was also the Khyber Pass Pub where late Philly Legend Mikey Wilde opened up for GG Allin in '91(available on You Tube).

I was trying to remember the other place and finally came up with the Middle East at 126 Chestnut off of 2nd. It wasn't a place that booked bands I wanted to see, but I went there to see a friend's friend friend's cover band 'Love Seed Mama Jump'(they mighta had a regular gig there at the time 25ish years ago) and one other time and a much better experience with Sabbra Cadabra, the Black Sabbath tribute band. I haven't stepped foot in the Khyber in this century. Does it still have the amazing world beer selection it did 25-30 years ago while a Lord Chesterfield Ale could be had for $2? The last time I was there the upstairs was open to go up and it was a novelty to walk up the stairs. It might have been after it reopened after a long lay off from booking shows when this occurred. @@mikeleone1347

Yes, I knew ME was long gone. I only know Tayoun from ABSCAM and mishearing Peter Gabriel lyrics to Games Without Frontiers (from that time) in the line They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu (except for Jimmy Tayoun). I was just waxing historical minutiae from a tour of my mind related to the vicinity of that park as it was my stomping grounds for a brief minute. Didn't even mention the Ritz movie theater at the parking garage. From my search of the ME address, it was changing names all the time in the '00s. When I first went to the Khyber in 1990ish, Olde City 2nd St. was relatively quiet, but then the Continental came and trendy nightlife spread through the area becoming fratboy central and street parking became harder to find. The Khyber had a long lay off in the late 90's as well. Had to go elsewhere. into@@mikeleone1347

That is a sad little William Penn statue. It looks cheap and does not convey his personal kindness. Maybe get a better statue of Penn meeting with the Lenape. This little one could go somewhere else or get retired.
