Sugarhouse Casino extension

The extension of trolley tracks from the SEPTA Route 15 on Girard Avenue along Frankford Avenue to Columbus Boulevard, to serve the SugarHouse Casino should be mentioned here with appropriate inline citations.--DThomsen8 (talk) 18:58, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All the stuff about fishsticks is fake

Is the Charles Dickens story really "apocryphal"?

I was always taught that Dickens quipped, "This really MUST be Fishtown!" while sniffing the malodorous rotted-fish smells near the river. Obviously, this would indicate that he didn't coin the name, and knew people called it Fishtown prior to his visit. However, it is reasonable to assume that his joke would have cemented the name in peoples' thoughts. At some point, "Fishtown" (a strange and someone unsavory name) had to gain favor with people over 'Kensington', and the Dickens story is as good an explanation as any. Is there any dispute that Dickens actually made the joke itself? 108.16.99.236 (talk) 23:09, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
