Just blocks from the Avenue of the Arts lies this culturally diverse South Philadelphia neighborhood of residents working gamely to peacefully coexist despite their differences. With a little help from a jaunty soundtrack and members of the DiSilvestro Advisory Council and Town Watch, neighbors chat about the history of the neighborhood's Italian, Vietnamese, Cambodian, German, Irish, African American and Polish residents and how, with the help of the Town Watch and the DiSilvestro Playground, they make their melting pot into a tasty stew.

While some older residents may cheerfully -- and obliviously -- refer to neighbors of other races as "colored" and "Polack" while greeting them with sincere affection, others go out of their way to head off potential difficulties. From refusing to let language barriers break down still nascent bonds of community to accepting that your neighbor feeds those irritating pigeons because he's a Buddhist who thinks there's an off chance they might be his ancestors, the lively documentary shows that the central focus of DiSilvestro area residents is elevating their neighborhood beyond stereotypes.
