I live in Fishtown, which is just south of Kensington (and not too far north of South Philly as well). Anyway, I think we are ‘clannish’ because of a feeling of snobbishness from outsiders. And that’s outsiders of all races and backgrounds. Fishtown has gotten a bad rep as a neighborhood of racist White Trash; in fact, last I knew, black cops weren’t allowed to work in Fishtown. But from my own experience, we aren’t racist at all. Unfair associations with Frank Rizzo have given us a bad name. The media pokes fun at us at will. To us, sometimes it seems all we have is our neighborhood.
