The Loft District or Eraserhood?

After living in Philly for many years now we have often wondered what the hell the area around east of Broad and South of Spring Garden is called. Is it Chinatown? The Loft District? or Eraserhood?

Eraserhood? Well yea why not, not only does it describe the area of empty lots, train tracks, power stations and old factories but its the basis of the 1977 movie Eraserhead which is a surrealistic film written and directed by David Lynch which was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the U.S. Library of Congress.

We can't completely hate on the area though, its home to some cool lofts, recently built townhomes, and by far the best brunch in Philadelphia Cafe Lift. In addition to that, Cafe Lift's close relative and neighbor, Prohibition Taproom is the jawn!
