I just think that people who live around their would give more accurate representations.
Realtors are dropping names like boomboom. One realtor on here is trying to reinvent the area by calling it LoMo. Other's say South Philly. Plaza this, Square that.
History always repeats itself.
As a sofilly aficionado, bigmel is controversially correct-at one time, everything south of south street was south philly. Realtors came in during the 70's and began naming every neighborhood in an attempt to maximize their return. Queen Village was nothing but an invention produced by Plumer RE and a couple of other realtors. I don't remember how the name Bella Vista was formed. Hawthorne was actually in Washington Square and Society Hill until former mayor Rizzo decided he wanted to turn it into yuppified living-so they forcefully transplanted a community to south philly and renamed that section with the same name.
