Big Bob's Christmasland is on Amber st sort of behind the brewery.

Rocky lived right off Kensington Ave on E Tusculum. His gym was at the corner of Front and Susquehanna. These areas weren't and still aren't the greatest as far as I know.

Adrian's pet store is located at 2146 N. Front St. It used to be J&M Tropical Fish but was put up for sale alittle over a year ago. Apparently the two turtles from Rocky I are still living there with the owner.

the movie Rocky is the best and the Front and Susqehanna areas are getting a little better.....knowing because i've lived here for a while but everythings not quite the same.....

Really? Over 30 years later? I know some turtles can live a long time, but 30 years seems like a lot.

I grew up in Kensington, one of my brothers is in the first Rocky movie, they filmed up the street where I lived..Kensington wasn't always bad...my family left in the late '70's and moved to the suburbs. It would be nice if the area was to "come back" to the time before all the drug dealers and the hookers and what not. Many good families lived in my neighborhood, kids went to school..minded their parents and grew up to be upstanding adults.

There are turtles that lived for over a century.

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).

Regardless of whether 3rd & Indiana is Kensington or not, the book discusses life on Kensington Ave. under the El, and we can all agree that that is Kensington.

As a youngster back in the 1970s, my grandfather worked at James A Kinney & Sons @ the corner of Norris & Howard. I remember quite vividly going with him to Kelly's Korner to get cheap sneakers and going with him into the barber shop under the El that had cut his hair for 40 years. He would go there even though he had moved from the neighborhood to West Oak Lane in the mid 1950. My biggest memory of the area were the vast factories dotting the landscape, and seeing many of the buildings being abandoned even then.
