norris square is absolutely going to change, but i don't see it becoming a hipster strip. the redevelopment over that way is too big money.

port richmond has way more of an organic thing going on. it's the same shit that made fishtown pop off 15 years ago. follow the music (launderette // lunar), booze (lunar, tin can bar, donna's, corner bar, bonks), and food (pizza richmond, lunar, nemi), art (tshakeshke, corpse flower, tattoo collective).

my prediction is bare elegance (strip club at richmond and allegheny) gets flipped into a dolphin-type place and that's what makes the neighborhood completely tip.
