"Needs a Little Help"
This is an area that has good potential but just isn't there yet. Unfortunately through the years it has gotten run down and just doesn't have the luster that it once did. The area is full of abandoned houses and the neighborhood for the most part seems to be in a state of disarray.
The people that live here do take great pride in their homes. Unfortunately the abandoned homes have sort of overruled the area as a whole and therefore are what many associate the area with. The good and the bad news is that this has two major expressways running through it. This makes for convenience and accessibility but it also means that there is a lot of traffic and also a lot of noise.
There isn't much in the way of amenities and therefore it's not a great spot in town. It could use some help and therefore there is the hope that revitalization will come to this part of town as it has for others. There is great potential to be had here, but it has a long way to go in order to get there.

"Another part of town that needs revitalizing"
My friend met a girl at a party who lived on one of the streets in this neighborhood. I think it was 14th street. I was with him a few times when he went to visit her.
You don't feel very safe when you are around here. I was several destitute people pushing shopping carts full of what were probably their belongings. The look in their eyes was one of quiet desperation, like they would do just about anything for money. There were also large areas of vacant land, and boarded up houses.
The girl’s house was actually not bad though. It was a two-story older home, but it looked like it had been maintained pretty well. Some of the surrounding neighbors had also taken the time to have gardens in the front lawn as well.
As we travelled back and forth to 14th street via the Lodge Freeway, we did pass by other streets that didn't look as good. We saw cars on blocks, cars with the windows busted out, and guys just standing in the middle of the street, staring at every vehicle that drove by.
Being that the Lodge and I-96 were both close to this area, you could get on either one depending on where you needed to go. And the buses came frequently as well. Not my cup of tea, but there was kept up homes scattered about.
