I tend to agree with you on that one, people who have been here their whole lives have a harder time saying Newbold or Hawthorne... it's usually just south philly to them. (I am a lifer, well 24 of my 30 years, and I still just say South Philly most of the time, but will use the specific area name when asked.) If you are IN south Philly and someone asks where you live, that's when I use the neighborhood name or street name... when you are out of state or even Philly, and someone asks you where you live- they are gonna stare blankly when the answer is "Hawthorne" heh heh.
And yeah, I was always told South st to the Navy Yard, River to River was South Philly.
