Philly geography question

[msanger]

I'm applying for a social work teaching position at Temple, and need the name for that area of town up past Penn and Drexel. I used to live in Philly, and want to call it "northeast" but I don't think that is the right name. It is a low-income area.

thanks for the info, and for keeping PA blue. VA is turning blue this year for the first time since LBJ.

1. University City? Strawberry Mansion? Parkside? Overbrook?

What do you mean by "up past"? Penn & Drexal are west of Center City, on the other side of the Schuylkill River, and the Northeast section hugs the Delaware River, to the east...

2. I believe it's just North Philly

North Broad St. is not part of Northeast Philly AFAIK.

Welcome to the City of Brotherly Love and good luck with that teaching position.

4. North Philly wins

I live in DC, where we have NE, NW, SE, and SW. so that is where I got messed up. Thanks to you all, and if I get the job it will be great to be living in a Blue city in a blue state.

3. can you be more specific?

Just to the west is University City, etc.
