Fishtown section of Philadelphia - an old fashioned neighborhood

Had some business in Philadelphia today on Delaware Avenue. I briefly got lost on the way and found myself in a working class neighborhood in Philadelphia that in other parts of Philadelphia might be a slum except...except it was an old fashioned neighborhood. It was not wealthy - but it was clean and charming. It was white, the bars were mostly Irish, there were very few For Sale signs - and no abandoned buildings, or drunks passed out on the sidewalk, or people just hanging out on the street.

Good fences make good neighbors

A lovely tree-lined street



Two sweet doors, bedecked with Easter bonnets.
