All I see living in those run down SLUM (and yes, South Philly was once considered a slum by city planners) houses near the market are illegal Mexicans and legal Chinese/Vietnamese. There has been some gentrification in Queen Village and Bellavista, which I agree should continue.

I still think the market should either be cleaned up or bulldozed. I am also happy for the children of the old folks, as they can sell those ugly rowhomes for a pretty penny. The same phenomenon happened in Williamsburg in Brooklyn, so I am not surprised that it is happening in So. Philadelphia.

I guess that I am most shocked by what is happening in Northern Liberties. Now if only they could send the National Guard up upper Broad...

Well there is no sense in me arguing with you. None of what you said is true.

You are content to be secure in your own ignorance. You have no idea what it going on around there and apparently don’t want to learn.

I can’t help you.

I don’t know where you get your information about South Philadelphia however it is obvious you have not been there for many years. The exact opposite of what you say is true.

Indeed, you could probably not afford to live in those areas in any more - which are mostly owned by professional and executive types.
