My anecdotal view of fishtown was that in the 90s it was okay. There was mostly fights and people getting jumped by groups of kids, not like we see today. The biggest story was the Sweeney kid getting killed by someone he trusted and they found his body by graffiti pier. There wasn't the violence I was familiar with in Kensington, but it had its period of a downward spiral. Then the developing took over. I like to think it started with the old hospital on berks and Frankford; anyone remember when the roof caught on fire? Anyway, since then it's slowly crept up to what it is today, it really boomed commercially
