Neato Neighborhood with strange buildings

I call it the hispanic flats, but most would know the neighborhood as the south bottoms. I live a street away from the area that the planning commission unanimously voted to call blighted
Come sip a brew with me and look over the vast acres of blight iffin you want.
hat tip to Mr. Wilson
I used to be afraid to deliver pizza’s here, but after 8 years I have grown to love it. Cooper park, the salt levee trail, salt creek, Germans from Russia museum, and soon the Jamaica North trail. I am 1 block away from the industrial area, under Capitol Parkway and between two railroad tracks. But the neighborhood is filled with cool places.

















Nice photos, thanks for posting them. I have never really explored that area in depth, so I appreciate the glimpses. The one thing that messes me up about that area though are the train tracks. I am a pretty light sleeper so it really bothers me when the trains blow their whistles in the wee hours.

This place… is coming like a ghost town.

The longer I live in my neighborhood, 48th between O and Randolph, the more like it also. Neighborhood pride rules.
