There is discordance among the wikipedia articles ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Philadelphia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Philadelphia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_City%2C_Philadelphia%2C_Pennsylvania

The definitions say south of Balitomore ... the maps show the Schuylkill ...
I always heard it was Woodland.

 Both of which are actually in Southwest Philadelphia, not West
Philadelphia.

And which is a perfect example of why "University City" as a designation
is far more than a marketing scheme. While you wait for the 34 trolley
inbound, you're in Southwest Philly; when you return to the neighborhood
later, you disembark in West Philly. Obviously, though, it's all
one neighborhood. Might as well have a name for it.

Still, misplaced though they are, the stickers are cute. Just like the
anti-foie gras chanters in front of the Marigold. Something you'd never see
in any other part of either West Philly or Southwest Philly; so strictly, so
intimately, so homily University City.
