It's in ORCA, close enough.

I think you can call anything up to Lehigh Avenue "Fishtown". I'm a block north of York Street and I still tell people I live in Fishtown, although it's technically Old Richmond.

Realtors will call anything from like 5th street to lehigh fishtown, that doesnt make it right. I usually tell people 'basically fishtown' if they don't actually know the area or explain that I am north of york if they do.

I would also like to point out that while I don't know that block in particular, I do enjoy living in flatiron/cione/portfishington/noyo/olderichmond/whatever and I think it is good enough to warrant having its name used instead of trying to fool people.

Where's the "Like" button on here? I once gave a Fishtown kid detention for using that word in my classroom.

It helps if ur posting about your rental, to post interiors of the property (or to the craigslist ad where the pictures are). Just sayin'.

Nobody calls it Old(e) Richmond.

It's Flat Iron (Flatiron). But few who live outside Flatiron(sp?) know where/what it is, so I just say Kensington, which is what Flatiron is clearly a part of.

So... we need to do something about that hideous sign that says "Port Richmond Village" over by the Thriftway.

Sepviva Plantation or nothing.

i've never heard anyone but you and coder call it flatiron. the civic association is ORCA, so clearly some people call it old richmond...

I wish Ken Milano would come on here and post a Kenzo length diatribe about what that area should be called. I'll defer to that guy.

That's only because you weren't here back in the day. Really, I'm not hallucinating.
Notice the teams and sponsors, many listed as Flat Iron

Yeah, I think I have seen that posted before. I was just wondering what (if any) historical significance Flatiron and Olde Richmond might have.
