Update: I revisited the street in the summer of 2019 to see how it was doing.
Sarah Street is another one of those north-south arteries that is more famous for its path through the Grove or the Central West End, but we must not forget that it goes much further north through neighborhoods that are starved for investment, such as the Ville and Greater Ville. The photo above just breaks my heart.
There are so many vacant lots and so many abandoned buildings.
