If you strike out here, you might try nextdoor.com which I describe as "Facebook for your neighborhood." The page for my area is pretty active. At its best, it's neighbors helping each other like during a snowstorm. At its worst, it's discussions about who is running stop signs. But, it is a source of local recommendations, especially for things like handy persons.

You could try the Fishtown is Awesome/Old/new/everyone page. Or if you don't facebook, let me know, I can ask for you and report back.
