By the time Steve Lopez published "Third and Indiana" in 1992 or so, Kensington Avenue was known as a desolate area populated by junkies and hookers.

When did the old Kensington give way to the new Kensington?
Third and Indiania isn't even Kensington, Steve(say whatever to sell my book)Lopez is an A**hole, maybe he was a piper with his old DN buddy Elmer Smith when he concieved this idea. Kensington "died" in the late 70's early 80's and it was on life support well before that and well before most of you "transplants" were around to spin it(and got ripped off for any prop you bought there).
