Philly was the gang capital of the 70s!

Bros w/hearts of lions, best of intentions. Sum caught up in gangs, many players in the PAL. Look how long God has kept us. Thank him 4 life, ask him 2 save ur soul if u haven’t already done so.Lets meetup inside Heaven’s gates n hear good stories from old times. My Dad Fred Astillero was a PAL coach of the Wildcats. Mong couldn’t recall names of all the players. Maybe Kev, Randy, Rip, Nookie can remem the others. Frog played PAL with the older guys. What was ur PAL team name, coach, teammates?

That vid brought back so many memories. It's good to see old head Kev, and young head Kev, Ditty, Ice, and a lot of the other brothas. Man they were holding it down back in the day. The scene looks the same, just older. This vid is the best. 58th & Woodcrest was one of the best places to grow up in Wynnefield. I'm still in the neighborhood. RIP to those who passed on. We had great times, but the memories will always remain.
