When we opened Abbraccio Restaurant, a local real estate person (not anyone 
regularly involved on this list) said we should NEVER refer to our place as 
being part of West Philadelphia!  Considering that the distance from us to the 
heart of the Drexel campus is about the same distance to Cobbs Creek Parkway 
and most of Southwest Philly, I found this just a little bit strange.  Our 
customers come from all over this range.  Nowadays we much prefer to call 
ourselves a "West Philly" place.  (Although I do like Lew's "Western Liberties" 
also).
