My Mural

I would put my mural on the wall of a school I used to go to in Fishtown. A few blocks away from where this building is Penn Treaty Park which is where William Penn and the Native American Lenape tribe signed a treaty of amity and friendship. Fishtown was originally a small section of Kensington but because of the high population of fishermen and fish venders, it was nicknamed Fishtown and the name just stuck. The first people who lived here where German, but in the 1900s Italian,Polish, and Irish immigrants moved in. The neighborhood has been a working class neighborhood since it was founded with many of it's residents living in poverty. Now it's undergoing gentrification with higher living costs and more art and entertainment establishments.
