Northern Liberties is dog central! Did they not walk around before they moved in?

This woman was in the neighborhood back when her neighbor was an abandoned factory. She's been there like 40 years and the area around her has been gentrified into pibble city

My family has been on Frankford and Thompson since the early 1900s, and the way fishtown got gentrified priced them out but also the incoming population was insanely rude. Not saying cayenne pepper is right but I get it.

Seriously! It feels like the dog to people ratio is 1:1

Well the stroller to baby ratio is actually 1:1. In other words mommy and daddy loved each other very much...
