Richmond St is coming back to life. I just hope the neighborhood holds on to its Polish heritage and that the businesses stay put. The flea is always a great time. Highly recommend it

I think it will. All the polish shops on Allegheny are top notch, affordable, and have great kielbasa. Still see lots of polish people about, and young polish couples.

i think PR is one of the riverwards where people grew up there and come back there to. I feel Fishtown is an area where people grew up, got a college education and left for the burbs like much of the NE. A lot of the neighborhood people around me are an older generation or blue collar.

Compared to what it used to be, it's good. Neighbors who have been here a while say it's good too. Not having check cashing places and strip clubs along your commercial street is a good thing, whoddathunk.

Agree. It seems like it's become a hub for Slavic families, with many still entering and investing in the neighborhood, so I'm not too worried
