After looking at the hulking industrial buildings yesterday, I explored a little of what I consider to be southern Walnut Park but what the City officially calls the Mark Twain neighborhood.

I think there’s this image that the entire area is bombed out, but that is just not the truth. There are many streets of well-kept houses with beautiful front yards and homes.

There are even some surprises such as these houses high up on hills, remnants of street grading.

There is even some public housing mixed in in the form of this apartment tower.
