Art galleries, coffee shops and street art. Commu-nity gardens, street food festivals and First Fridays. Start-up tech companies, converted warehouses and creative spaces. You may think theses elements de-scribe the vibrant commu-nity of Fishtown, but not in this case. What Im actually describing is a community similar to our Riverward, only this one is more than 3,000 miles and an ocean away in London, United Kingdom. In this A Fish Out of Wa-ter series, well take a look at this far away neighbor-hood called Shoreditch, see what similarities we can find between it and Fishtown and maybe even learn a thing or two from

Across the Pond

that communitys develop-mental process. But why compare these two communities? Are they really that similar? According to Fishtown resident Nadia James, they are. I actually just came here visiting a friend and never really considered [living in] Philadelphia at all, James said. But I came to Fish-town because it specifically reminded me of where I used to live in Londonan area called Shoreditch. James had lived in Lon-don for a couple of years, but a desire to start her own business led her back home to North Jersey where she launched her content marketing consul-tancy firm, Griot Digital. Not long after starting up, James found a new home

in Fishtown because it possessed the same creative business environment she loved back in Shoreditch. Today James serves cus-tomers like Rutgers Uni-versity, SemperCon and Practice Unite from her office space located at 2424 Studios. Shoreditch and Fish-town share commonalities throughout their respective histories. Both communi-ties have a long, storied past of being working class neighborhoods. Charles Booth, in his 1902 book Life and Labour of the People in London, described Shoreditch by saying, The character of the whole locality is work-ing class. The UK blog Book Snobs say Shoreditchs working class roots re-main an element of the

communitys vibrant na-ture today. Kenneth W. Milano, a local historian who has published six books on Fishtown and other sur-rounding neighborhoods, characterizes the River-wards roots in similar terms. Its always been a work-ing-class community, Mi-lano said. You have fami-lies from the 1730s that are still living here. I think it goes to show the character of the people of Fishtown and the attachment to their community. [It is] a 275 year-old working-class neighborhood. Conrad Benner, an artist and street photographer, grew up in Fishtown and his family still lives in the community. Benner re-members how his father

installed fire alarms for a living and his mother worked at a bank. Together his parents bought their house in the neighborhood during 1970s. Accord-ing to Benner, his family will never leave Fishtown; their attachment to the community has become a large part of who they are as people. When I was growing up I really loved it, Ben-ner said. I mean, it was definitely rough around the edges, like most American cities at that time, but for the most part [the neigh-borhoods residents] were great, loving people. Even with these proud working-class traditions and demographics, Fish-town and Shoreditch are also linked by their well-documented past of em-

bracing artistic culture in the community. Its not widely known that the first theaters of London were built in Shoreditch. The first of these play-houses was simply and apt-ly called The Theatre, built in 1576. Shoreditch is also partly responsible for breathing inspiration into the man who many would come to regard as one of the greatest playwrights the world has ever known: William Shakespeare. He came to the area as an ac-tor during the 1590s and lived in the community. He wrote a few characters into his plays based on people he had met while living there. Some of his earliest works were even performed regularly in

Despite being thousands of miles away, Fishtown (left) and the English neighborhood of Shoreditch (right) share several uncanny likenesses. /Photos of Riverwards by Joshua Albert, photos from Shoreditch courtesy Jason McGlad and Kirsty Allison.

based author/journalist/

The Spirit Newspapers.

A long time ago, I came into contact with a number of fortune-telling families. Sometimes Id go into their little Tarot card reading shops and see what the future had in store for me. My first experience with mystics occurred when I was a student in Baltimore. Strolling down East Balti-more Street one evening, I spotted a shop and decided to have my palm read for two dollars. The ablaze-with-neon, curtained-off room was no larger than a broom closet. The woman there held my palm and told me that I needed in-stant karmic cleansing. She suggested that I take three coins and throw them into the Baltimore harbor, only I had to do this with my back to the water and throw the coins over my shoulderas coins are thrown into Romes Trevi Fountain. I walked down to the dark and gloomy harbor and did as the for-tuneteller advised. The day after the in-stant karmic cleansing, my landlord told me that

he was selling his house and that I needed to find another place to live. One year later, in Boston, I was walking downtown when I passed another soothsayer. An old woman in a headscarf winked at me and asked if I wanted a life-reading for three dol-larsit was a tremendous-ly hot day, and the only thing I wanted to do was get out of the sun. I went inside the little, curtained-off room, sat down, and watched as she shuffled some cards. Behind yet an-other curtained-off area, I could hear children. In fact, I no sooner heard a childs voice than I saw a little, round face with large, brown eyes peeking up at me from underneath another hanging curtain. The woman there told me I had many obstacles in life: Many people were jealous of me and there was a curse on my fam-ily going back to the 14th Century. The 14th Cen-tury is a long time ago, so I asked her why I should be responsible for the antics of a diabolical ancestor. The woman offered a solution: For an extra five

dollars, she would burn a special candle in her secret temple. That candle would be lit in my honor and melt the wax walls of the family curse. She lit the candle and then held her hand out for the money. This was followed by her husbands appearance from behind another curtained off area; after this, a number of doe-eyed children flooded the room. What was hap-pening? After questioning the family, I discovered that they needed eggs. They hadnt had breakfast and they wanted scrambled eggs. Ill get you eggs, I said

to the woman. I knew that eggs were cheaper than five dollars so I volunteered to walk to a nearby gro-cery store and buy them a dozen. They thought my offer was a con and didnt expect me to returnbut I got them the eggs, and we parted on a civil note. I stayed away from for-tunetellers for a long time after that, although one time in Center City I went undercover as a reporter and had my future read at a number of shops. In almost every case I was told that people were jealous of me and that there was a family curse that I had to melt.

I thought that wall was melted, I said. The walls come back, just like bedbugs, the for-tuneteller said. An oracle on 11th Street told me that my father had had an affair with a young woman neighbor when I was a teenager (not true). Another one near the Ital-ian Market frightened me when she put her hands over mine in a healing embrace, then told me to keep very still as a shock of electricity shot from her hands into mine. Was this witchcraft? How did she do it? Another mystic in the Italian Market told me to mark May 16th on my calendar. Mindful of the date, I was doing my laun-dry in the laundry room of the apartment where I was living and on that date met a guy who would later become my best friend. I still remind of him of this fortune today. When I spent five days in Florence, Italy several years ago, I used to go out at night and hang around the Piazza del Dumo near the great cathedral, Santa Maria del Flore. The area was a melting pot of Mo-roccan and North African visitors and immigrantssome selling trinkets like wooden toy trains and leather goods, others sit-ting on the cathedral steps smoking their peculiar brand of tobacco. Piazza del Dumo was a busy place. Lovers openly displayed their affection for one another on the cathedral steps, only these displays went a lot fur-ther than the conventional French kiss. People lingered in doorways, said hello to strangers, and drank wine in the moonlight. There were no surprise visits by police officers to tell people to keep moving. Un-like Rittenhouse Square, Piazza del Dumo did not close after midnight. In the middle of the night, an old woman was busy reading tarot cards. She was doing her readings in Italian and the line of people wanting readings was very long. She was obviously a famous local. Watching her go from cli-ent to client, I had intense thoughts of Philadelphia writer Charles Godfrey Lelanda spiritual de-scendant of the infamous occultist, Aleister Crow-ley. Leland began to write books about Italian witches when he first visited Flor-ence. In one book, Leland talks about meeting a fa-mous local reader named Maddalena. It occurred to me that perhaps Leland had met the queen of Ital-ian witches in Piazza del Dumo. Lelands time with the

Italian witches changed his life. Born in 1824 to direct descendants of the first set-tlers of New England, Le-lands boyhood was a mix-ture of privileged wealth and an obsession with the mystical. He loved folk magic and walking in the woodswhere he claimed that he heard words in the songs of birds, and even in the sound of running wa-ter. At 18, he wrote his first book, Hermes Trismegis-tus: His Divine Pyman-der. The book was later published and became an inspiration for a variety of hermetic writings. Leland graduated from Princeton in 1845. After graduation he studied in Munich, Germany before traveling in Europe. In his book, Memoirs, he writes about the physical impression he made as a young man: At this time I was a trifle over six feet two in height, and had then and for some time after so fair a red and white complexion, that the young ladies in Phila-delphia four years later teased me by spreading the report that I used rouge and white paint! I was not as yet filled out, but held myself straightly, and was fairly proportioned. After Lelands post-grad-uate European travels, he returned to Philadelphia to begin a career in journal-ism where he wrote for, and edited, a number of news-papers and magazines, including The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, The Phila-delphia Press and Vanity Fair. During the Civil War he enlisted in the Union Army but his experiences on the battlefield were limited. He moved to England in 1870 where his mystic inclinations and fluency in several languages helped him to immerse himself in fortuneteller society, study-ing their culture to such an extent that in time he came to be accepted as one of their own. In Florence, his friendship with Maddalena led to his discovery of a number of witch cults with roots going back to ancient times. From the time he was a toddler, Leland had been well schooled in the world of spirits. In Memoirs he writes about the haunt-ed feeling many felt in Philadelphias Washington Square: Washington Square, opposite our house, had been in the olden time a Potters Field, where all the victims of the yellow fever pestilence had been interred. Now it had be-come a beautiful little park, but there were legends

Congratulations, River-wards, youre where the action is. The housing market in Fishtown is booming and the blush of renewal is coloring

The Politics are Hyperlocaleven some of the darkest corners of Kensington. There is opportunity for a sustained renaissance. Theres loads of money to be made, and everyone wants in on it. You lucky Philadelphians on The

Spirits beat are in the core of vibrant new life. Youve been reading the election coverage here, a partnership with the news website I run with my co-editor Dustin Slaugh-ter, Phillydeclaration.org. The Spirit and the Decla-ration are terribly keen on the partnership, so were testing an expan-sion of it. Ill be writing regularly in web posts and print articles as The Spirits Associate Editor for Metro/Politics. Youll see more feature cover-age from the Declaration in print Wednesdays in the Riverwards, and as we gauge the temperature, well explore a deeper collaboration. Youve heard, Im sure, the adage that all poli-tics is local, often cred-ited to former Demo-cratic House Speaker Tip ONeill, but in fact coined by the Associated Presss Washington bureau chief Byron Price some 50 years before ONeill had the chance. Price, who was also director of the US Office of Censorship during the Second World War, wrote in 1932 in his column Politics at Ran-dom, all politics is local in the last analysis. This political column will be hyperlocal, like The Spirit. This and another couple of truisms, about real es-tatelocation, location, location and they arent making any more of itmake useful guideposts for the political coverage you can expect here. Councilmanic preroga-tive is a sacred cow of Philly governance that gives District Council-members nearly total control over land devel-opment in their districts. The power is not one written into law, but an ar-chaic customary practice exercised without excep-tion in Phillys chambers, each Councilmember deferring to the other regarding land inside the others administrative jurisdictions. Either the SugarHouse Casino or The Piazza could have been halted on the draft-ing table at the whim of Councilman Squilla, had he been in office for their constructions. The Riverwards are rapidly gentrifying, which means that among other things the value of the land Mark Squilla (Dis-trict 1), Maria Quio-nes-Sanchez (District 7), Bobby Henon (District 6), and Darrell Clarke (Dis-trict 5) have under their respective power will be more valuable every year.

Developers will want to be friends with these four and many will be willing to attach benefits for the arrangement. Squilla and Quiones-Sanchez have both passed compan-ion bills rezoning large swaths of the Riverwards through the Commit-tee on Rules, much of it frontage on Frankford Avenue or Front Street. The rezoning would make various changes, but most of the new con-struction designations would change I-2/ICMX zoned areas (medium industrial or industrial mixed-use) to CMX-2 zones (small scale neigh-borhood commercial and

residential mixed use). The bills have not yet been scheduled for a reading on the Council floor, but anyone getting off at the Berks stop on the Market-Frankford Line can see that one tract in the proposed bill is already undergoing some remodeling. Government has a prop-er role in being stewards of development and while the District Councilmem-bers may be perfectly capable of sussing out what projects do or do not benefit their constituen-cies, the opportunity for speculation, influence and destructive gentrification is white-hot in our own

back and front yards. There are around a doz-en wards and about one hundred divisions within them making up the polit-ical geography of the Riv-erwards. There are over 100,000 residences, an expanding tax base and a vital cultural heritage which can be enriched by involvement from new settlers. Newcomers and long-time denizens alike have contributed to mak-ing this the most rapidly changing and dynamic quarter of the city, and this column is here to keep track of all that.

See you soon.-Kenneth Lipp

of a myriad of white confused forms seen flit-ting over it in the night, for it was a mysterious haunted place to many still, and I can remem-ber my mother gently reproving one of our pretty neighbours for repeating such tales Leland wrote books like The English Gyp-sies and Their Lan-guage (1873), The Gypsies (1882), Gyp-sy Sorcery and Fortune Telling (1891) and Legends of Florence (1895-6). In Memoirs, he even writes about witches in Philly. As for the black witch, as there were still four Negro sorcerers in Philadelphia in 1883 (I have their addresses), it may be imagined to what an extent Voodoo still prevailed among our Ebony men and brothers. Of one of there my mother had a sad experience. We had a black cook named Ann Lloyd, of whom, to express it mildly, one must say that she was no good. My mother

Local Lenscontinued from page 2

dismissed her, but sev-eral who succeeded her left abruptly. Then it was found that Ann, who professed, had put a spell of death on all who should take her place. My mother learned this, and when the last black cook gave warning she received a good admo-nition as to a Chris-tian being a slave to the evil one. I believe that this ended the enchant-ment. Before his death in Florence on March 20, 1903, Phillys own Aleis-ter Crowley wrote of his impressions of the city after a long time away in Europe. Its inhabitants were all well-bathed, well-clad, well-behaved; all with exactly the same ideas and the same ide-als. And they were so fond of flowers that I once ascertained by careful inquiry that in most respectable fami-lies there was annually much more money ex-pended for bouquets than for books. Unlike Piazza del Dumo, there are plenty of flowers in Ritten-house Square.

Shoreditch, including Ro-meo and Juliet. Milano believes that Fish-town has also nurtured art-ists and creative people get-ting their start throughout the neighborhoods history. He cites influential artists

from a more recent history like Frank Benderwho is considered one of the foremost forensic sculptors in American historyas one of the many creatives who have called Fishtown home. Its important to note that whats considered an artis-tic profession has changed over time; the folks living

in Fishtown a few hundred years ago would definitely be considered artists by todays standards. You always had arti-sans, said Milano. You always had craftsmen, cob-blers, furniture makers and so forth. But we didnt bill ourselves as artisans; we were working people with a job. We have always had

artists in Fishtown, but it wasnt an art community. It wasnt artsy in a sense that it was called artsy. We didnt have galleries, we didnt have a scene, but people were definitely artistic. The two communities storied artistic traditions have stood the test of gen-erations, manifesting their creativity in a number of forms through the open-ings of boutiques, galleries, cafes and street art. Philadelphia-based pho-tographer and artist Jen Cleary, recently took a trip to Shoreditch and stressed how impactful the experience was for her own creativity. I was told that thats where the art is, so I just spent a whole day in Shoreditch walking around and shooting as many photos as I could. I remember being like this is a candy storeholy shit, said Cleary. It reminded me of Fish-town. Just so much of it was in one compact area. Like the part next to the Old Street train station in Shoreditch [where] its just non-stop street art. That reminds me of underneath the El between Girard and Berks Station. It wasnt until recently, over the past few decades or so, that Fishtown and Shoreditch were openly

considered by the public as landmark arts communities with creativity emanating throughout the broader culture of each area. This kind of change doesnt happen overnight. Accord-ing to New Kensington Community Development Corporation (NKCDC), more than anything else, it takes years of community development articulated with a vision put in place by people who genuinely care about the community they inhabit. Sandy Salzman, a fourth generation Fishtowner, has been Executive Di-rector of the NKCDC since 1998. She credits her communitys progression to its residents as well as partnerships with various city agencies and organiza-tions like The Philadelphia Horticultural Society and Mural Arts. When I started [at NKCDC], Frankford Av-enue was a mess, Salzman said. We decided that we were going to make it into an arts corridor. We didnt have one gallery; there were no artists living on Frankford Avenue. We didnt even have a coffee shop. In her office Salzman keeps a picture from 1998 of a trash-strewn lot at Montgomery and Frank-ford Avenues. The photo paints a clear memory in

Salzmans mind and viv-idly symbolizes the more than 1,100 vacant lots scat-tered throughout Fishtown during the the 1990s. Close by is another image of that same lot, but in 2004. It shows a starkly contrasting view of an upstanding and well-tended pocket park with several trees that con-tinue to grow there. Shoreditchs s imilar transformation was put into words by Wong Joon Ian, an East London based journalist, at the start of his article Gentrification Without Displacement in Shoreditch, published in the Center for Urban and Community Researchs blog. First came the Young British Artists, then it was Banksy and his cohorts, Ian said. Now, its the million-dollar startups of Silicon Roundabout. Shoreditch and its brick-walled Victorian ware-houses have been branded a cultural quarter since the Young British Artists moved into the hollowed out, lightly industrial area on the Citys edge in the early 90s. Kirsty Allison was one of those Young British Art-ists and is now a professor, filmmaker and writer, with articles appearing in pub-

A few years ago I didnt know what a Mummer was. I had heard from my sisters fianc that he and his mother were go-ing to wake up at dawn, try to snag a good spot by 2nd Street and go see the Mummers Parade on New Years Day. You couldnt peel me out of bed at that hourespecially on New Years Day. At the time, I had been living in West Philadelphia for three-and-a-half years and I had never actually seen the Mummers. My first actual experi-ence with the Mummers was January 1st of this year, when I picked up my girlfriend from the South Philly Diner. She had gone to the parade and had entirely too much fun. Unfortunately I couldnt stick around. My second encounter, however, was not as brief. If you didnt hear them yourself, Duffy String Band plucked, buzzed, thumped their way through Fish-town on May 21st, banjos, strings and horns in hand. Members of the band told The Spirit that they hoped to raise money for the an-nual band expenses; which

can reach up to $100,000. Two kids, Regina Kamin-ski, 11, and Foley Anastasi, 9, members of the Trilby String Band, were knock-ing on doors and asking for donations. Their efforts alone raised $470. I caught up with the group on Gaul Street and followed them for about an hour as they zig-zagged their way through the neighborhoods side streets. As the band turned down each block, residents exited their homes with cell phones in hand, taking videos and photos. Eventually, the band hit Frankford Avenue, stopped at Pizza Brain, and made their way back to the Duffy String Band headquar-ters at 2300 Cedar Street. There, Jim Sexton told me about the bands rich his-tory, which dates back over half a century. Duffy String Band was originally the Firefighters Band and was founded by George Duffy, who served as captain until 1959. The band was then renamed in his honor. Henry Kunzig started out as an accordion player with Aqua String Band; he then purchased the Fire-fighters band in 1956 and became Captain in 1959, Sexton said. He led Duffy up Broad Street as Captain

for the first time in 1960 and continued to do so until his retirement from active marching in 1985. Henrys four children and seven grandchildren are all involved in the band. His son Teddy Kudrick became Captain making his debut in 1986. Teddy continues to lead us today,

Sexton said. This makes Teddy the longest continu-ing marching Captain in the [New Years] Parade and this year will mark his 30th year. There is a bad stigma surrounding the Mum-mers; some have openly expressed that Mummer traditions are sexist and

racist. On New Years Day, there were reports that a group of Mummers were wearing blackface, even though blackface has been banned from use in the parade since 1964. Duffy is different. They contain mult icultural members. About half of the bands current mem-

bers are women, and ac-cording to alto sax player Kerianne Fath, Duffy String Band is one of eight bands that have women members. One of their banjo players, Catherine Hennessy, is a member of the LGBT community and

The committee of the Philadelphia His-torical Commission voted unanimously in support of a recom-mendation to nomi-nate St. Laurentius Church as a historic site. This means that chances of it being knocked down are getting slimmer and slimmer. /Photo: Max Pulcini

by Andrew Mark Corkery

Unresolved disputes over the structural integrity of St. Laurentius Church persist between the Arch-diocese of Philadelphia (AOP), the Save St. Lau-rentius group (SSL) and structural engineers. More than a year after these disputes beganits future still uncertainthe church remains standing. Tuesday, June 9th, may mark a turning point in the future of the Fishtown church. During a hearing in room 678 of City Hall, a committee of the Phila-delphia Historical Com-mission (known from here on out as the committee) voted unanimously in sup-port of a recommendation to nominate St. Lauren-tius Church as a historic site. With the Archdiocese targeting the building for demolition, historic status would protect the space for years to come. Our responsibility is to determine the histori-cal importance and sig-nificance of the building, therefore I move that we, as a designated committee, designate for the Phila-delphia Historical Com-missions register that the building at 1606 and 1608 [Berks Street] be designat-ed historic, said a ranking member of the Historical Commissions Advisory Committee. Following that statement were cheers, claps and screams of joy from mem-bers of SSL, who packed the small city hall confer-ence room wearing Save St. Laurentius T-shirts.AJ Thomson, a lawyer and leading member of SSL, felt that this was a good first step in a much longer process to ultimately gain historic protection status from the full Historical Commission. The vote on a final decision regarding St. Laurentius is set for July 12th. Obviously, its a historic structure, and the historic commission as a whole should and will do the same thing, Thomson said. Whether or not the Archdiocese is going to cry poor or cry nonsense, thats for someone else or a court of law to decide. In support of SSL were professional architects, the Honorary Consul of Poland in Southeastern Pennsylvania, a repre-sentative from the Polish American Cultural Center and more. A representa-

HOLY RESURRECTIONS: St. Laurentius is One Step Closer To Historic Status

That Would Prevent Demolition Indefinitelytive from City Council President Darrell Clarkes office also stopped into the meeting to deliver a letter from Clarke in support of the historic designation of St. Laurentius. In opposition of SSL was the AOP and the parish of Holy Name of Jesus church. The AOP had merged the parishes of St. Laurentius and Holy Name following the clos-ing of the former. The parish of Holy Name has since assumed all debt of St. Laurentius. During the at-times heated hearing, representatives from Holy Name, Michael Phillips and Father John Sibel cited lack of funds to fix the church and its structural

integrity as things the com-mittee should have taken into account when evaluat-ing the merits of whether St. Laurentius should be recommended for historic status.

tizers, sides and desserts. Knowing Ill get honest feedback from outspoken family members, I use our backyard barbecues as an opportunity to explore new

dishes. Doing so requires care and consideration. When bringing a side dish, I have to be careful not to step on anyones toes. The buffet table is always lined with the clas-sics, family favorites that simply cannot be rivaled. If I made anything re-motely close to my moms three-bean salad or my mother-in-laws macaroni salad, Id encounter the awkward scenario of tak-ing home, untouched, the dish I came with. This orzo salad is laced with a mix of delicious fresh vegetables and col-orful herbs. Even better, I found a way to avoid painstakingly chopping everything by relying on the food processor to do all the work. Hopefully, it can stand up to my familys long lineage of side dish staples.

Orzo Salad1 cup orzo pasta, dried1 cups frozen corn ker-nels, thawed3 garlic cloves, unpeeled1 pint grape tomatoes1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped cup pitted kalamata olives2 tablespoons chives, roughly chopped1 large handful fresh basil leaves cup white wine vinegar cup olive oilsalt and pepper, to taste

Bring a large pan of salt-ed water to boil. Throw in the pasta and cloves of garlic, boil until al dente, drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Remove skins from garlic and set aside. Put the pasta into a large serving bowl and add corn. In a food processor, pulse together tomatoes, cucumber, olives, herbs, garlic, vinegar and oil, until mixture is combined and resembles a thick salsa. Toss with orzo and corn, and season with salt and pepper.

Gaul Street Block Party Celebrates the Old and New

by Ptah Gabrie

The annual Gaul Street block party is a tradition that residents along the 600 block of Gaul St. anticipate all year long. The neighbors who call the block home reflect the changing demographic of Fishtown: Some have lived in the neighbor-hood their whole lives, others are transplants. Christopher Wink is one of the latter, but he loves it here. I like that its a mixture of people who have been here for multiple generations, and people who are new, all trying to have a good time together, Wink said. Connor Donahue has been raised in Fishtown and lives on Gaul St. The block party also served as a celebration of his 8th grade graduation. I like to see everybody that I dont see all the time, Donahue said. Theres good food and its just a good time all around.

Neighbors gathered at the 7th annual Gaul Street block party for some grilling and games in the street. /Photos: Ptah Gabrie

Its not a block party in Fishtown without a moonbounce. When its hot theres nothing more fun for the kids, and some adults, then one that sprays water while you slide through it.

Nothing like chatting with your neighbors while the grill is sizzling away. The second batch of dogs was awesome!

lications like The Guardian and a recent book entitled Making Something Out of Nothing: Red Gallery Shoreditch. Allison believes the Young British Artists undoubt-edly took ownership of the community and laid the groundwork for transform-ing Shoreditch into what it is today. [Shoreditch] used to be a lot more black and white, but now its very, very col-orful, Allison said. Its a very fluid area, which means it contextualizes to whatever is around it, and whatever is incoming into the community. It adapts naturally. As the neighborhood adapts, so do its businesses, with new tech startup com-panies like Soundcloud bringing more creative energy to an area well known for its entrepre-neurial spirit. There are so many tech companies now, which are really part of creative in-dustries. They are the kind of business side of creativ-ity, Allison said. In 2013 the Si l icon Roundabout of Shoreditch brought 15,720 new tech/creative startup companies into the community, mak-ing it the most popular and sought-after startup des-

tination in all of the UK. While the number of tech startups in Fishtown isnt quite as staggering, there has been an influx of companies coming to the area, partly because the neighborhood falls under Philadelphias Keystone Innovation Zonesgeo-graphic zones where young tech and life science com-panies can apply for up to $100,000 of saleable tax credits. Tech compa-nies in Fishtown include Boxter, Bluecadet, Pixel Parlor, and 3D Printing Dog, among other new and creative businesses popping up at places like 2424 Studios. According to Fishtown resident Nadia James, an-other element that makes the local tech startup scene so incredible is the sense of camaraderie and passion she experienced first-hand during Philly Tech Week. I came to [Philly Tech Week] and everyone was really open and supportive when I was telling them I was starting my consul-tancy company, so I just knew this would be a great place to start my business, James said. She added: What I also really liked about Philly, particularly in Fishtown, is that you get a small community feel even though you are in a big city, and thats probably the biggest thing I loved about

London, said James. After moving back from London, James wanted to find someplace similar to the area of Shoreditch. Be-ing a North Jersey native, New York City seemed like the obvious choice. But The Big Apple just felt like too big of a place and lacked a sense of com-munity. I mean, you can live in a borough but it does not necessarily mean you get to know the people around you and feel like you know you are a part of some-thing, James said. I felt like that in Shoreditcha neighborhood where I could meet people. When I moved to Fishtown I felt the exact same way. This sense of community is fostered in several ways: First Fridays are staples of the monthly calendar in both Shoreditch and Fishtown, and an impor-tant component of how the arts stay in focus and at the forefront of the community. According to James, both areas First Fridays are nearly identical in layout, setup and overall community vibe: Free wine and beer, you just walk around the same little streets. Its very close together and you talk to people. As James continues living in Fishtown, she wants to play a role in adding more elements to the already dy-

namic nature of her com-munity, especially relating to Londons work culture. James was an account manager for Linkedin, a slightly stressful position at times, but she notes that on random sunny days (which can be rare in London) her manager would tell every-one busy at work to leave the office. Everything that I experi-enced there I want to have for the people that work for me here, said James. Workplace etiquette and random lunches aside, James attraction to living in Shoreditch came from its blending the conven-tional with the alternative. She sees the same synergy in Fishtown through the colorful variety of people who call the neighborhood home. I dont really fit into either box personally but I enjoy different aspects of both. So I may be go-ing to a pub thats full of yuppies [or] I may also like to go to a dive bar thats maybe full of hipsters. I felt like I could get all of that in Shoreditch and I feel the same way about Fishtown. Back in London, writer Kirsty Allison believes that this mix of culture and creativity plays a large role in what makes communi-ties like Shoreditch and Fishtown so inviting and unique.

Its about maintaining a spirit of creative commu-nity and freedom within a space that should be available for everyone. Its about cultural equal-ity as much as anything, said Allison. There is an important part of cultural progression that needs freedom to articulate itself, and needs space where you can be free to express yourself beyond existing paradigms. Allison stresses the life-changing effect that com-munities like Shoreditch and Fishtown have on the folks who are a part of them. When speaking about Shoreditch directly, Allison stated: Its created me. I would not have written my bookits a product of a friendship through the community. Its also in-spired my fiction work. My whole novel is set in 1990s Shoreditch, said Allison. I would not be who I am without having had the ex-

perience and freedom that I have had here. Its given me my identity really. Conrad Benner, photog-rapher and lifelong Fish-towner, echoes the same sentiment about his own home and how it has ef-fected his own personal and artistic growth. I would definitely not be the person that I am today if it were not for grow-ing up in Fishtown. said Benner. Its not just the sense of the community and the support that com-munity inspired, which has shown itself throughout the years. Its also about what it taught me about the world. I saw the world first through the eyes of Fishtown.

two of their women mem-bers, Cheryl Crowe and Peg Rullo, have been voted into the Mummer Hall of Fame by their peers. Mummer bands like Duffy are breaking the mold of a historically male-driven culture. I later discovered that all the stops we had made along the parade route were to honor past mem-bers who had died. I know Mummers who have passed away on the street, said Angie Morta, Thats how they want to go. Then get your ashes spread on New Years the next yeargo out with a bang and confetti. I sat with the band mem-bers for hours hearing old stories from years past. Morta, 29, has been in the band since the 6th grade. Jim Anastasi and his wife Katie got married in the Mummers Museum. Their whole lives are Mummery. Everyone was so close and instantly I felt like I was one of them. It was a poor mans New Years Eve Party, said Fath, recalling the parades of her childhood, if you didnt have money and had kids you were there. The Duffy String Band sold me with their family environment, their con-tinuing history and tradi-tion and their drive to be the best String Band in the city. They showed me the meaning of why this sense of belonging and family is important, valuable, frag-ile, and in many ways, slip-ping away from our larger culture. They value a rich history when combined with an open mind and open heart. Rather than taking a stance of what the Mummers ARE or ARE NOT, they focus on the real potential of Duffy to devel-op and evolve as something increasingly positive, with families and people who love each other. I wish them well, though one things for sure: When New Years Day rolls around, Ill still probably sleep through the parade. Some th ing s neve r change.

Members of the band collected donations as residents watched the band march on. Afterward, the group got together at their Cedar Street clubhouse for drinks. /Photos: Chris Fascenelli

The band squeezed by on even the smallest of Fishtown streets.

A recommendation to designate it historic is the first step in going down the line of another Church of the Assumption and that is just the reality, said Michael Phillips, a representative from Holy Name of Jesus Parish, who was referencing another Philadelphia church that had been closed in the late 1990s and is abandoned. There are public safety issues and there are issues relating to the condition of the building. That is relevant because if the building were to collapse, how does that serve the public? How does that serve the community?... If the building can not be maintained and the build-ing is in a deteriorating state that creates a public safety issue that also com-promises the integrity from an aesthetic standpoint of the building. If there is brownstone crumbling and falling to the ground, there is an issue with that. Some who spoke in favor of designating St. Lau-rentius as a historic site downplayed the notion that the building presented the kind of danger implied

by those representing Holy Name, The AOP and an engineering representa-tive from engineering firm ODonnell & Naccarato. The committee felt it was presumptuous for those representing Holy Name and The AOP to assume that the Historical Com-mission would not grant a building historic status due to the churchs structural deficiencies. Your observation of what the Historical Com-miss ion would do or wouldnt do is premature because the Historical Commission may allow a lot of remedies for a historic structure and we dont know what that will be, said a member of the Historical Commissions committee. In addition, the commit-tee laid out precise criteria when they unanimously voted in support of the churchs historic designa-tion. As it stands now, St. Laurentius meets much of the criteria, which is what ultimately allowed the committee to recommend to the Historical Commis-sion that the church receive historical designation. Much of the criteria for a historic site centers around the idea of cultural and

communal significance, that the building in some way exemplifies the neigh-borhood in which it stands. With all of these criteria to take into account, the Committees Chair, Rich-ardson Dilworth, found that there were certain ele-ments that stuck out more than others. What was particularly significant in the Berks Street nomination was its role in the Philadelphia Polish Community, espe-cially around the turn of the 20th century, and how that has sustained over time, Dilworth said The recommendation by the committee may have been cause for celebration by Save St. Laurentius, but it is just one small step in a lengthy process for the building to receive

the historical protection status that would prevent demolition indefinitely. Even if St. Laurentius does gain protected status at the July 12th hearing those within Holy Name and the AOP could still appeal that decision citing safety concerns. The effects and merit of such an appeal are purely speculation at this point and may even be called into question by those involved in the review process. If you believe there is danger to people there are opportunities for city inspectors, said one mem-ber of the committee. A few in the room of-fered alternative perspec-tives and solutions to the problems cited by those in the community moving forward with the church,

regardless of what the his-torical commission decides in July. I think the Archdiocese should establish a new paradigm and come to the rescue of these very im-portant churches through-out the Archdiocese, said one supporter of Save St. Laurentius at the hearing. So it would be a shift in their point of view and I think that is what is needed because this is not going to be the last instance of a church that is going to have to be saved. Save St. Laurentius also may need to recognize that due to the stark differences between their view for the future of the church and the AOPs stance to demolish it, it is unlikely that the church will ever be a beacon of the Catholic

faith within the Archdio-cese again. That being the case, there is a possibility that the church may end up being repurposed for community use if savedsomething those at Save St. Laurentius have become comfortable with. There could be an adap-tive reuse of this church and we are fully for that and we know it may never be a church again, Thom-son said. We want to see the church saved whether or not it functions as a place for mass anymore or just functions as a place for people to look at, recog-nize and congregate in. Thats what its about, it was built for people by people for usefulness... and thats what it can continue to be.
