Alright, listen up, y’all. We’re gonna talk about them movie places in Philly, you know, where they filmed all them pictures. I ain’t no fancy movie expert, but I know a thing or two ‘bout places folks like to go see.
So, you wanna know about film locations in Philadelphia, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, there’s a whole bunch of ’em. Philly’s a big city, and them movie folks, they love filmin’ here. Lots of history and stuff, I guess.
First off, there’s that art place, the Philadelphia Museum of Art. You know, the one with all them steps. Rocky ran up them steps, remember? Everybody and their grandma wants to go run up them steps too. It’s a real popular spot. You can get some good pictures there, make your friends jealous.
- Philadelphia Museum of Art – Gotta run them steps like Rocky!
- Rittenhouse Square – Fancy place, lots of trees and benches.
Then there’s this Rittenhouse Square. It’s a park, kinda fancy-like. Lots of trees and benches. Folks like to sit there and eat their lunch, or just watch people go by. I heard they filmed some movies there too, but I ain’t never seen ‘em myself. Too busy feedin’ the chickens, ya know?
Now, if you’re into them city scenes, you gotta go to Market Street and JFK Boulevard. They filmed a bunch of stuff there. Big buildings, lots of cars, real city-like. You can walk around, pretend you’re in a movie yourself. Just watch out for them cars, them city drivers ain’t got no patience.
Speaking of Rocky, there’s a bunch of other places they filmed them Rocky and Creed movies. Like, them gyms where he trained, and them streets where he ran. I don’t remember all the names, but if you look it up, you’ll find ‘em. They even got tours, I hear, takes you all around to see the spots. Sounds like a lot of walkin’ to me, my old bones ain’t up for that no more.
Philly ain’t just about Rocky, though. They filmed all kinds of movies here. Comedies, dramas, even them scary movies. I ain’t a fan of them scary ones, gives me the heebie-jeebies. But if you like that kinda stuff, there’s plenty of places to go see. Just ask around, somebody’ll know.
The thing is, Philly’s got a lot of different looks. You got your fancy downtown, your old-timey neighborhoods, your parks, your waterfront. So, no matter what kind of movie they’re makin’, they can probably find a place to film it in Philly. It’s like a big ol’ movie set, just waitin’ for the cameras to roll.
And you know what’s good ‘bout these places? Most of ‘em, you can get to ‘em easy. They got them trains and buses, what they call the SEPTA. Takes you pretty much anywhere you wanna go. You don’t need no fancy car to see them movie spots. Just hop on the bus and go. Just make sure you got enough change, them bus drivers don’t take kindly to no short changin’.
If you’re lookin’ for somethin’ different to do in Philly, somethin’ more than just eatin’ cheesesteaks and lookin’ at the Liberty Bell, then checkin’ out some of these movie locations is a good idea. It’s a fun way to see the city and learn a little somethin’ about movies too. And who knows, maybe you’ll even run into a movie star. Probably not, but you never know.
So there ya have it, a little somethin’ about them Philadelphia film locations. Like I said, I ain’t no expert, but I know what I know. And if you go see them places, I bet you’ll have a good time. Just remember to bring your walkin’ shoes, ‘cause you gonna be doin’ a lot of walkin’. And maybe bring a snack too, all that sightseein’ makes a body hungry. And don’t forget your camera! You gotta take pictures, show all your friends where you been.
Now, go on and have yourselves a good time in Philly! And if you see any movie stars, tell ‘em I said hi!
