Newbold, Philadelphia

According to their websites, Newbold Civic Association (NCA), created in 2006,[1] and Newbold Neighbors Association (NNA), created in 2007,[1] dispute the north/south boundaries of the neighborhood. The NCA claims the southern boundary as Wolf Street while the NNA claims the southern boundary as Passyunk Avenue, one to three blocks farther north (variable due to the southwest to northeast orientation of Passyunk). The NCA claims the northern boundary as Tasker Street while the NNA claims the northern boundary as Washington Avenue, about six blocks to the north.
