Fishtown
Fishtown is a neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is one of the last truly "Family Neighborhoods" in Philadelphia. Most of the people here are cousin's or 2nd cousins, and have lived in the same homes for most of their lives.
Located immediately northeast of Center City, Fishtown's borders are somewhat disputed today due to many factors, but are roughly defined by the triangle created by the Delaware River, Frankford Avenue, and York Street. Newer residents of the area consider it to go all the way up to Lehigh Avenue, while some older residents maintain the upper border to be Norris Street.
In recent years Fishtown has experienced moderate gentrification characterized by significant rises in housing prices and the opening or upscaling of art, entertainment, and dining establishments. An influx of artists and professionals has joined the ranks of police officers, fire fighters, carpenters, electricians, stone masons, plumbers, sheet-metal workers, and teamsters.
