Francisville

Pushed out of Francisville

Regina Medina of the Daily News has a good article of the gentrification of Francisville today:

The neighborhood, like others throughout the city, faces gentrification, increased housing prices and higher property taxes. And that was the topic of conversation over dinner yesterday.

"We were here when this was falling down around us and now we're being run out," said Rob Reddy, 62, who was born and raised on Uber Street.

Reddy and his friends Lee Ruffin and Clayton Morris all agree - Center City is expanding into Francisville.
