A neighborhood in South Philadelphia. Generally, the boundaries are from Washington Av on the North, 17-18th streets on the East, and Mifflin on the southern edge. Some consider it down to Snyder Ave on the southern end. It was historically Irish/Italian, but became majority black by the 60s, and was an extremely rough, dangerous place from the 70s on. The last decade or so has seen gentrification and new construction, which has improved the area. It still has another decade or so before one would consider Point Breeze a safe neighborhood. Point Breeze is a tough hood, but the residents are proud to be from there and everyone has grit and heart.
They just built some more condos in Point Breeze, I heard that area is “up and coming”.
Sure, rents are cheaper than the surrounding neighborhoods, but you pay the price of safety instead. Two of my roommates have been robbed walking home.

Get the Point Breezemug. A neighborhood, state of mind, and Lynne's personal boot camp to turn young adults into full fledged alcoholics. Some of the most notable days in Poplar Point history include the great soup heist of 2007, the night james roasted marsh mellows with his ass cheeks, the night Collin intentionally broke a picture frame, and the 10 AM drinking session on St. Patricks day 2008. Most of the stupidity that takes place directly involves Collin who may or may not be asian and mentally handicapped.

Get the Poplar Pointmug. The opposite would beeeee.... Bad... What is the opposite of point? Nub? Like a pointed end and a nub end? Thesaurus says "whole" "personality" and "lot" for antonyms.... None of those seem right.
Iam "Good point about the compartmentalization though... That actually makes a lot of sense... Hmm... I can see how that might apply to me...."
Hym "I hate everyone.... And everything.... Why can some scientist mess with forces they don't understand and unleash some horror on the world. Like giant bugs. Shadow monsters..."
Iam "Sentient plants?"
Hym "Yes! Giant sentient sunflowers that drink blood and paralyze people with power."
Iam "Heh that's also a good idea I guess..."

Get the ten points to gryffindor!mug. n. Parody of the techspeak term point-and-click interface, describing a windows, icons, and mouse-based interface. The implication, of course, is that such an interface is only suitable for idiots. Also point-and-grunt interface.
