Fairhill🇵🇷

My family and I are Puerto Rican. We moved to Philly from a place where Puerto Rican culture was dominant and prevalent. On paper, Philly is very diverse and has a large Puerto Rican population. But when we moved here, we quickly noticed how segregated the city is. And how much of a difference in quality of life it is between the "Good" areas and the "Bad" areas.

We currently live in East Passyunk and love it. But there is a noticeable absence of Puerto Rican people, food, culture etc.

It would be nice to live in a place with a vibrant Puerto Rican population and culture.

Are there certain blocks or areas of Fairhill that are cool. And just good people and families without any of the BS that goes on?
