About the best you can say is that they were taken with a decent camera and they are clear. Otherwise I don't get it? Memphis Tap Room was a lot better back in the day when it was Walt's Bar. Had lots of rot gut whiskey instead of yuppie beers. It was a man's bar, now it's kind of like the feminized men, over educated scene, talking intellectually about beer of all things? Go figure?

There was a conglomerate of white rap fan types who sold out of their row home. Everyone called their place "White Boys." As in, "Dear friend, are you going by White Boys for a bag today? Might you also procure one for me?" I used to get my weed in Fishtown back in high school in the early 90s. There was a conglomerate of white rap fan types who sold out of their row home.

It's a fantastic neighborhood. theKrisheim, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about if you think that Northern Liberties is filled with hipsters, but I agree with you about the 'cool kids' comment. Like rob said above a few years ago you may have been able to claim this, but it is all but finished as far as being 'hip' now. Check out the crowd at 700 these days...it's a far cry from 4-5 years ago. Nick mentioned a lot of the fucked up/hilarious landmarks in Fishtown, although he seems to have failed to mention the LEED homes in the heart of Fishtown. Not to bad for a piece of shit neighborhood filled with racists. A couple of them were featured on 'Renovation Nation' (for those of you that watch Planet Green). Thom - If you are curious about the tank, here is a video about it but first you need to go to the Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby (the race it was built for) website. http://www.kinetickensington.org/news/watch-building-tank If any of you are ever in Fishtown, cross York a few blocks, and visit Memphis Taproom. It has possibly the best rotating taplist in the city. http://www.memphistaproom.com/ I live in Fishtown.
