Wowww! I'm surprised Philadelphia Magazine even mentioned Brewerytown (this is not a knock on Brewerytown). I didn't think this mag. would go anywhere near North Philly. We're making progress.

we have ritas, with a mugshots & bakery on the way, this is about to be the SPOT!

i guess ol' uncle al has lost his leverage after all.

To clarify:

Article here, where BTown is not one of the top 10 neighborhoods.
Real Estate 2010: 10 Awesome Neighborhoods To Call Home - Philadelphia Magazine - phillymag.com

It does say, after it calls GHO "The Next Big Thing"

You might also like: Art Museum expansion areas Fairmount Avenue (around 16th Street) and from there to Brewerytown have similar vibes and price points, and many more condos.

Thanks for the article. I guess it was too good to be true.

My main problem with Gho, or Btown:

What you don’t (get): Upscale grocer, retail, and safer streets.

Hopefully the grocery will be solved this year.

Retail we are always working on and it has improved.

Safety is obviously a top concern and takes time.

I love that my hometown got recognized.

Downingtown was a surprise. Maybe I don't give it enough credit.

Why is only one neighborhood in Philadelphia actually spotlighted...in Philadelphia Magazine?

**Sycamore** · 03-16-2010, 08:20 AM

You must be unfamiliar with the publication.

**eldondre** · 03-16-2010, 08:26 AM

would it make you feel better if it was Philadelphia area magazine? I wouldn't say it's inconsistent with, say, how my doctor, who lives in chester county, views Philadelphia. in some sense, it's actually a very good measure of how Philadelphia is doing.

CHicken/Egg

No rich residents no "rich" stores.

Stores look at income of res.

Maybe the census will assist the cause?

It's really

Philadelphia (suburbs) magazine

I would say Philadelphia Metro magazine.

me too, it's definitely more than just the suburbs. It's always included the chestnut hill area as long as I can remember, now it also focuses on center city quite a bit. you know, the city once planned a chestnut hill to main line highway.

I've long thought there are a lot of parallels between Grad Hospital and Brewerytown. Both had neglected commercial corridors, both had a history of drug crime, and both had a strong community history/culture.
