Hyde Park was never in the footprint of the Northside TIF, but I can’t help think that it was affected by the disruption that was occurring in the neighborhoods to the south.

This neighborhood is really suffering from the effects of abandonment, and the City’s reliance on McKee’s plans diverted attention from residents’ real needs the last twenty years (and much longer).

There is still so much potential.

I realized I took almost the exact photograph of the house below almost exactly one year ago in this post from January of 2025.
