The newer part of Baden is looking so good, up by Riverview Boulevard south of the Halls Ferry Circle, but down closer to North Broadway, there are a lot of problems, much like I had observed in the winter of 2018. While the houses across the street from Holy Cross are still standing, I noticed that many houses and other abandoned buildings have been demolished. Some were in horrible shape, but others were in good condition.

The trashed, abandoned 1000 block of Gimblin is lush this summer, and in some ways not recognizable compared to the dead of winter when I photographed it before.

Then there’s this magnificent Art-Deco apartment building on Halls Ferry Road which is either in the process of being boarded up or being rehabbed. I do not know.
