Olde Kensington, Philadelphia
[1] After World War II, many neighborhoods in Philadelphia experienced a long period of decline, deindustrialization, and residential abandonment.In recent years, however, South Kensington has been increasingly gentrified, following a similar pattern observed in adjacent Northern Liberties and Fishtown.[2] SEPTA provides various options of public transportation for the neighborhood, and Center City is about 2 miles or 10 minutes away.Additionally, many residents ride their bicycles as their preferred mode of transportation[citation needed].Indego Philly has a bike share station at 3rd & Girard and multiple peripheral stations: 2nd & Germantown Ave, 1176 Leopard Ave. (Girard Station, MFL), 1424 Frankford Ave. (City Fitness), 1902 N. Front St. (Berks Station, MFL), and 527 W. Berks St.[3] PhillyCarShare (now known as Enterprise CarShare) vehicles are available at 6th & Girard Ave, 100 W. Oxford St. and Frankford & Thompson St.[4] Zipcars are located at Front & Master, Frankford & Master, Frankford & Palmer, and 6th & Girard.
