The blocks are long in the Greater Ville, and the 4500-4600 blocks of Ashland Avenue are in between Cora and North Taylor avenues. I stopped by last year briefly in July of 2023, but looked at the two halves , 4500 and 4600, back in January of 2019.

Very little has changed, and there is plenty of abandonment and fire-gutted shells.

But there are also nice houses, carefully maintained and occupied.

But then there’s this.
