The neighborhood of Brewerytown extends from the Schuylkill River to 25th Street in North Philadelphia. Historically, Brewerytown was the site of numerous breweries, particularly during the 1800's when it had more breweries than most areas in the state.
Brewerytown 's West Girard Avenue corridor is the site of many new businesses, newly-constructed homes, art galleries, and retail spaces. Along it you'll find a record store, plenty of soul food restaurants, and easy access to Northern Liberties and Fishtown via the Route 15 trolley. It's also a quick walk to the Art Museum and Fairmount.
Mugshots Coffeehouse (pictured below) will open a second location here, and already runs a successful shop in nearby Fairmount. It will strive to be a community hub of local food, fair trade coffee, and arts events. Renowned artist Shepard Fairey recently completed a wheatpaste mural, adding a little more street sass to the ongoing arts movement in Brewerytown.

Phila is a great place but it needs a Rudy Guiliani to bring it back
The Phillies have done a lot for that and now hopefully the Flyers can do the same
