Do as you wish, but I don't see how any fun or enjoyment comes from that.
Especially if you are a Caucasian person, you have a much better chance of being robbed and shot then having whatever thrill you think you're going to find.
Not trying to be a downer, but North Philly is a war zone and Kensington is not far behind. I've known of guys that were construction workers just going to work down there that ended up getting shot.
Then again maybe that's part of your thrill...
