nice urban housing in philadelphia

Yes, the ragflats architecture is nice and refreshing for Philadelphia, but half a million does seem a lot for Fishtown (although Albert Barnes was born in Fishtown). Then again, real estate prices in Philadelphia are going crazy the last year or so. Friends of mine sold a 1920s twin in Manayunk for 125,000 in 2001, and the same place just sold for almost 250,000 in Fall 2004. The very generic Northeast Philadelphia 1975 twin next to my mother's in Fox Chase just sold for over 200,000. And rowhomes on my block in East Olney are now asking just over 100,000 (my parents bought my house in 1957 for 11,000).
The comments re Tim McD make me chuckle too.
