Northern Liberties

No Libs has seen some dramatic changes. Once a dead zone, it’s become a haven for the artist community. And where they go the yuppies are sure to follow. With the birth of Blatstein’s Piazza and a vibrant bar and restaurant scene, residents are anything but hard-pressed for something to do.
