"Olde Kensington" sounds like the tackiest name ever.

I wonder why silly developers don't call the areas Poplar, Yorktown, Norris Square, and Cohocksink. Sure it's North Philly, but we can't just go around rebranding neighborhoods when they get the teensiest bit better.

BTW, I think Cohocksink, of all the up-and-coming neighborhoods, has the most potential. It's basically the area between the train tracks and Northern Liberties and Norris Square from Girard to Dauphin. American Street is (roughly) its eastern border. There is an interesting mix of ethnicities--blacks in the south and north, Hispanics in the east, and Temple students in the west, and there's a supermarket right smack dab in the middle at Berks and Germantown.

The Germantown Avenue biz corridor needs a little work, is all.
