I'm 57 years old and have NEVER been to Fishtown, or most of its neighboring/nearby areas.
Heck outside of Roosevelt Blvd for shoppingm until abouta year ago I could count on one hand the number of times I've been to ANY part of "the Northeast." (same for folks from the NE coming my way, I guess.....)

But it's good to know Fishtown and its environs are improving. anything that raises the 'socio-economic' demographics of Philly is a good thing.
Fishtown has had some amenities built over the past couple years to make it a destination of sorts:

- Sugar House casino
- The Fillmore
- Frankford Hall

to name a few. But I guess it skews towards the younger and middle-aged crowd. Fishtown is also an easy 15 minute El ride to CC, so plenty of folks living in Fishtown to commute to work by subway.
