Give me a fortune, i'll tell you your quarter.

Notice everyone wearing hats and everyone was so patriotic and worshiped this country back then and nobody would burn a flag oh how we have fallen into the gutter

Detroit sold its PCC cars to Portugal for 5 cents on the dollar. In Madrid they are considered part of the cultural heritage of the city and the American main Street cars outlasted everybody else's except for the German ones.

All of our treasures that we adore mean nothing to today's generations. All of the things that we save they will throw out in the garbage when we die😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

It is so depressing that all the good things are gone.

Born in Chester and raised in Newtown Square. Ah those trips to Philly on the trolley back in the 50’s. Inducted into the Army via 401 N. Broad St. Geez, what memories from this video. Never realized I had a “Philly Accent” until a friend up here in Boston actually had the nerve to say I had an unusual accent!!!

Lot of comments here are from years ago. Well, hello to fellow Philadelphians from a former born and raised Philly-ite. Anyone here remember Bookbinders, Fishers and Kelly's restaurant in center city? Department stores? I have a bar of soap from Gimbels with the Gimbels name imprinted on it. (never used😂). Still can smell a slight scent from the soap too! Holiday season ALWAYS meant to go to lit Brothers, Wanamakers, Strawbridges and Gimbels. Was not a holiday without going to them all. Wanamaker organ recitals and the light show. Never, ever thought those times would end. Ever. 😢😢😢

Some them in a basement of a frat house in State College, PA in early 1998. So awesome. First album was my favorite of the catalog.

Gotta love Bill 'Soupy' Campbell. A Philadelphia treasure in his own right . RIP Sir . ❤

You can add CoreStates to the list. It is now part of Wells Fargo. This was produced more than thirty years ago.

This song….

Seeing Sally Starr on horseback at the Gimbel’s Parade sent instantaneous chills up my spine. Can’t believe memories imbedded in my brain came back over her. I was born in 1959 and moved from Philly in 1978 and had completely forgotten about her until I saw her in this video. Thanks for the memories. Obviously she was a great Philly icon!

Thank you so much for posting this video. This machine stuck with my memory since I was a kid. The local Ponderosa had one of these machines on the way to the bathroom and I would always touch the ball to get her to say that 😊

I miss it too😢

It's a real shame that City is so damaged with crime and drugs. 😢

17:18, HOLY CHRIST!!! I love how he went from subdued, almost Tom Waits, and then switches probably 2 octaves higher.

interesting back then how you'd flap your hand to be waving it

How much do one of these go for?

To those of you who used to live in Phila and have since moved away, I have a couple things to say. First I'd like to say congratulations you made it outta here, Phila is not at all like you remember it, if you cherish those memories stay where you're at. It doesn't even snow here anymore.

Here's something else that isn't there anymore, the Roosevelt mall. Not the mall I remember it being, if you haven't been to Philadelphia for awhile go ahead and drive by. John wannamakers it ain't.

Lots of great stuff I remember hearing about as a kid. Nice to see some of what I missed. But the one thing I will NEVER miss is Philadelphias and Pennsylvanias Blue laws. Thank goodness they are a long thing of the past. I hope they never ever return either. Your churches rules and dogma belong just their at your church and not Karened upon others. I remember never being to get gas anywhere or shop anywhere on a Sunday for anything. And my goodness don’t break down or run out of gas or you were screwed.

Born at Thomas Jefferson University here. Birth Class of 74. Most of the stuff mentioned was gone by the time I came around. 😐 BRING BACK THE AUTOMAT!!!!!

Love this! Childhood memory of my Grandmother who would not got to bet weeknights until John Facenda said goodnight at the end of the news broadcasts.

I used to work in a movie theater with one of these, and to this days have her voice pop up in my head.

I remember the downtown King Fish in Louisville,Kentucky having this game.

I'm glad Kinsella got it together.

Hell ya best pop punk band ever

I’ve tried like hell to get into this band but I never ever could. I did love The Broadways though

so nerd...

My desire for my stalker.

that chunkin' pick bass at 1:45 is making my day

The nostalgia!

Favorite Promise Ring song

They are great

The 80s

mentally i’m here

Even though I grew up in NYC, this brings back lots of memories. Mostly good times with a few glaring exceptions. Assassinations, riots, losing two siblings, one to leukemia, a death sentence in 1967, and a brother in Vietnam. RIP, Jimmy.

I hear Fripp!

telecaster...so emo

I remember these places.😊

bring me back

This is amazing!!!!

This show legitimately changed my life. Mischief Brew (RIP), Fucked Up, Hard Skin, Paint It Black, and D4. Perfection.

I would give my left nut for my 6-year old ass to have been there.

I've been at that venue for Riverdales in 2010

Who's the dick who was talking during pigeons and spies

My memory is great

Loved this album, enjoyed skimming through and seeing how they fared. Nate's just so animated and involved, but poor Mike's still nervous at the mic. Hope they play some bigger venues too!

The Godfather of Emo
