Was stationed at the yards back in 87-88. Mostly stayed on Broadway or on South Street. Flyers win the cup when I was there. Not one riot, had a really good time that night. Lived in Rocky territory for a bit on South Tasker. Nice people of the Italian persuasion. 8 oz drafts for .60 and shuffle bowling on almost every corner. Walk down the street with the two shipmates I lived with and would get our “skinny asses” invited in for pasta dinner by a stereo typical stout Italian mamma and to meet a few girls. I heard Tasker is a shithole now.
Kim divorcing Kenye ...so now, he’ll have plenty of time to fix things in the hood.
There's several blocks west of Broad that aren't great. Most of the trouble is in North, West and Kennsington.
For the most part, it's still okay, but I don't know if that's going to last much longer.
I lived in Kensington in the 70’s and spent time there into the 90’s.... McPherson square library, Ascension of Our Lord Church & school - done.
Look up “Frankford High School” in Philly.
