MURL: A look at Fishtown gentrification December 9, 2008

Fishtown has quickly become one of the most gentrified neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Through these two video packages and one interview clip, the Fishtown MURL team checks out the old-timers’ views of the “yuppies” moving in. Even Philebrity got in on the action (and to defend myself — 1) It is my own blazer, and 2) No one claimed this was breaking news).

Some Fishtown lifers don’t seem to mind the incoming younger generation.

Ed Herron has lived in Fishtown his entire life. He’s not going anywhere any time soon.
