Yep. North Philly and Kensington have open air drug markets. The Badlands is another wonderful place...

North Philly is the kind of place where newborn babies are “red flagged” at the same time their birth certificates are printed.

Northeast Philadelphia is still fairly decent. Lots of good neighborhoods and good families, schools, etc.

But North Philly, Kensington, Germantown, and others...forget it!

My pop grew up in Port Richmond in 20s and 30s. That looked rough when I was a kid in the 60s.

Would love to feel comfortable to drive over there and see where he grew up; but won’t unless armed. Sigh.
