Update: I revisited these streets in the winter of 2022.

It had been awhile, if ever, that I had photographed Hadley Street just south of St. Louis Avenue, and I took some photos of some nice buildings that had been rehabbed and some in-fill.

Unfortunately, some of the houses nearby are still abandoned, though they are in good shape and are good candidates for renovation.

Around the corner on Montgomery Street, however, I was shocked to see how bad things still looked since the fire one year ago. The buildings are in a sad shape, and are in danger of collapsing.
