Speaker. much of the strength and flexibility of American society is drawn from the sense of identity and community fostered by neighborhoods that developed in our cities in the latter part of the 19th century. Some that come to mind are Beacon Hill in Boston. Grant Avenue in San Francisco. and New Yorks Mulberry Street. Formed. mainly for ethnic reasons. there* was a richness and culture in these neighborhoods which deeply influenced the cities around them. Such a neighborhood was Tipperary Hill in Syracuse. settled largely by Irish immigrants associated with the Erie Canal and salt industry nearby. Its spiritual focal point was St. Patricks. the parish church founded in 1870.
