In this month’s Philadelphia Magazine, writer Simon Van Zuylen-Wood takes on the task of profiling the very complex Ori Feibush, who owns OCF Realty and has been a leading force for neighborhood development in Point Breeze. Van Zuylen-Wood spent an enormous amount of time researching Point Breeze and Philadelphia gentrification; interviewing people about Feibush and neighborhood development; and pondering just what it is that makes Feibush tick, much of which he discovered in Feibush’s company.
Feibush matters because Point Breeze matters–it’s a development and gentrification real-time test case. It’s a neighborhood-in-transition petri dish.
