1983 Old City Philadelphia Memorial Day Block Party
Loading...
Uploaded by jchtv on Jun 10, 2009
I finally finished up one of the first videos I ever shot with the 2 piece RCA VCR and camera I bought in 1983. It was quite cumbersome by todays standards and the battery life was quite short. My good friend Chris Theo Theodore led the interviews with some of Phillys most colorful characters. The Sixers had just won the NBA Championship and Old City was in quite a Brotherly Love kind of mood.
Keep an eye out around the 2:40 mark for a ghost town of 300 block of Market St, years before any type of revival had started. Enjoy!

Journey has nothing to say? She is the last person that I would expect to listen to the Clash or the Dead Kennedy's! I recall that day very well I went up there with my father, very hot and humid day. I just graduated High School that month, unreal that this is twenty seven years ago, dam!That MC played some really great music that day, it got louder through the evening. That gathering is still very strong on that block, it's changed some over the years though, that was the first year like that.
