Legends of Philadelphia: The Chip

South Fellini Presents Legends of Philadelphia ·

2023/02/06

Back in the 90s, it seemed like every block had at least one person with an illegal cable connection that granted them access to Pay Per View events, premium content and adult movies. These devices were known as “hot boxes” most everywhere else in the United States. But in Philadelphia, we called it “the chip” and it was the worst kept secret in the city. Join us as we go channel surfing on Philly’s illegal airwaves.

However, climbing greased poles began centuries ago and has been a decades long tradition in Philadelphia. Join us as we explore the history of lubricated logs.
