I don’t know in JBs was the kickoff. That was 2006 and every other mainstay opened in 2010/11.

Not technically Fishtown, but this is still Memphis Taproom erasure.

That area is so interesting cause see homes with the fish signs outside then north of York and I am just like this is not fishtown.

I agree, but also if you find an old-school enough fishtowner and they will claim the neighborhood ends at Norris while realtors are probably calling areas across the viaduct Fishtown. And in my own internal map of Philly, Fishtown doesn't actually go all the way to Front St. even though thats covered by the FNA ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I live on Gordon just a quarter block south of York, but how in gods name would you cut it at Norris. York is such a large street and goes up to the circle at Frankford and is more a definitive separation of the neighborhood. Back in the day it was just easier to know your neighborhood by Parish.

the barbary also deserves it's credit. when ownership flipped in 2007/2008, it really pushed fishtown as a destination. clubs like that simply didn't exist in philly before that time.
