“Northern Liberties might be getting too hip for its own good--and it doesn't help when people call it "NoLibs." The post-hip yuppie types are moving in and rents are going up up up. Don't let that scare you, though--it's still a great 'hood.”

February 26, 2017. 4 pm. COLLABORATOR ONE drives as COLLABORATOR TWO narrates their Northern Liberties exploratory trip, improvising on an aborted walkabout because of the cold.
COLLABORATOR ONE: How do we know who to interview if we don’t know the boundaries for the neighborhood? The maps don’t match.
COLLABORATOR TWO: What do you mean?
COLLABORATOR ONE: What are the boundaries for Northern Liberties?
COLLABORATOR TWO: It depends on who you ask.
COLLABORATOR ONE: Does it go beyond Girard Avenue, on the other side?
COLLABORATOR TWO: A little.
COLLABORATOR ONE: What about above 6th Street?
COLLABORATOR TWO: Yea. It goes a little beyond that too.
COLLABORATOR ONE: I can’t follow the ads on the real estate pages.
COLLABORATOR TWO: It depends on if you’re buying or selling.
COLLABORATOR ONE: I’ll bet.
