District

And I think this is the fate of this area, to be in the intertidal zone. Not exactly downtown, one of the streetcar suburbs. Indeed, Trolley Square is the next block over, abutting mine.




Lots of duplexes, worker's cottages, little half streets, apartments and businesses. There is a market for housing that pushes for rehab of decrepit buildings. But some absentee owners are letting it get worse because they don't want someone else to get a bargain, they want to make a fortune.

Low rent historic district. Well, relatively low rent.

Some photos are from my block of the other sides of the street.

Decay

It's changed a lot in the last seven years, some torn down, some rebuilt, some merely neglected and decayed.

Varieties

I kept walking.

Block

I took a walk around the block. Architecture all around.
