I'm not Jewish, but I considered buying in that area. It seemed very welcoming and relatively quiet.

Spend some time in the area, especially at night. Walk around.

Slightly OT but brings the thought of Jewish Community in South Philly:

I'm in my early 30's but still remember many jewish named storefronts on south 7th street. South 7th is pretty 'diverse' .

If in Barnes and Noble (mostly a photo book) but a great series locally:

Jewish Communities of South Philadelphia
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/boo...38549552&itm=1

My favorite south 7th street local in Jewish history: EDDIE FISHER. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Fisher_%28singe r%29

Ha, original I was thinking 'Western shirt/cowboy' before realizing football, made me remember when I was stopped at a light years back listening to some old country/honky tonk music and the people on the corner said I was listening to 'racist music' .

I would agree. They are too busy with other prejudices-if you know what I mean.
