In other words, they are cutting the former Southwark now Riverview housing project out of the historic district. I suppose it makes sense, although there is a once-magnificent Lutheran church located smack in the middle of it. (The church's congregation continues to soldier on in the building...)

EDIT: whoops, misread the boundaries. Southwark is in, and so is Emanuel Lutheran.

I've lived in Bella Vista for years, and near as I can tell, the people in south philadelphia think it's center city and the people in center city think it's south philadelphia.

More info on the myriad names for philadelphia neighborhoods here:

I don't see Hawthorne on this list. What are its boundaries?

It's all South Philly. Don't be ashamed!

Its funny, it keeps changing and expanding (the finer neighborhoods anyway). I would say that your neighborhood is Avenue of the Arts now, no?

So i'm moving to the north side of south street between broad and 13th. Is this center city or hawthorne?

I would say center city at that point... I'm sure it has some specific name, but as Bella Vista and Hawthorne are IN South Philly, whatever name someone may tell you... that IS Center City
