To some, they are former diamonds in the rough, locales that a decade or so of change has polished into something now truly unique.

Time to make up a stupid acronym that sounds like someone grunting and call it marketing. For my own neighborhood of Dickinson Square I suggest we go with "DickHo"— SithLordRizzoLegalizeIt69- Not without an armored division, a bulletproof vest, and a Kevlar helmet.— K&A347
- Mr Nutter please don't act as if you are responsible for the wealth of the Philadelphia neighborhoods.
Councilmen Di Cicco and Senator Fumo should have all the GLORY Us South Philadelphians know the truth and Facts !— topaj - All of these neighbors are already gentrified/gentrifying, and among the better places to live in the city.— Northeaster
- K&A you are a buffooon!— philly57
- All nice areas. I grew up in East Passyunk and moved back there to raise my family. Great neighbors, great places to eat.— roguefiftyone
- Excellent way to improve the city. Now, really get to work on crime and the schools!— gxel
- If its in Philadelphia County...just say no thanks.
Words to live by.— Charlie Cheese Steak - I understand it is for up and coming neighborhoods, but to talk about all Philly's neighborhoods and leave off the staples such as Rittenhouse, Society Hill, and Washington Square West may be confusing to visitors,,,no?— bjb2416
- Only one question comes to mind on this campaign....what took so long? For the past decade or more tourism planners had to know that the city's neighborhoods were a prime attraction to out of town visitors.— bobcitydoc
- Great move on the City's part - Ritt Sq and Soc Hill, etc. are fully capable of doing this stuff on their own. If we can expand the gentrification out to these neighborhoods - create jobs and an environment where people will want to live, work, raise children, crime will drop, schools will improve, and the need for city services will diminish (and then, if we hold City Hall accoutnable, so will taxes).— PhillyDanny
- Where do the families that live there send thier kids to school? Do you have to pay 25K - 35K a year for a private / prep school? What public schools are available for these kids?— AJL99
- Spruce Hill, Cedar Park and Powelton Village ARE University City. And why leave out Walnut Hill and Garden Court?— JMM
- Hold off on that "buzz"! Yes, Baltimore Ave. looks better with the repaved street, but I still see many eye sores every time I drive by there (run-down crack houses, ghetto people jay walking and random trash). My other concern is once the street deteriorates, will it be repaved or repaved soon enough? The city wastes our tax payer money on bogus reasons every day ...why should I care? I'll be gone by then!— OohChildNoPhilly
- PhillyDanny, anyone who wants to raise a child in this city who is not very wealthy needs to go to a shrink. Need for city services will diminish? You don't really have any now!!! Crime will drop? Forget that, esp since you have what is arguably the worst cops in a major metro in the US. Even in Podunk they are required to have HS diplomas. In other metros, college degrees or military service. Your transit is disgusting and outrageously expensive. In any other major city except NY you can go 2x as far for 1/2 as much (sometimes for free, see Portland)— intelliwoman
