So many Historic Districts in Midtown. (Register: houses, neighborhoods, to buy)

[Columbuskidd92]

Six National Register Historic Districts—one of the largest contiguous districts in the country—form the
heart of MidTown. Tree-lined streets meander among ante-bellum estates, through 1930s and ‘40s
bungalow districts, parks, mid-20th-century ranch neighborhoods, and some of the city’s earliest and
recently revitalized shopping centers.

Some of the nicest areas of town and some of the poorest. Would like to see the city/investors buy and remodel houses - that's the only way you'll get an influx of people and revitalize neighborhoods

I agree. My whole family grew up in the East Wynnton area,and I can clearly tell you its not the same.

The only way I see these areas improving is to focus on one area then the areas around that spot will improve! I don't think that fixing up old shops and just sticking any kind of store in them hoping that it will change the area is just not probable! I also believe that some areas will not change unless the people in those areas start to change honestly!

The whole area is just scattered. One minute you in a nice historic neighborhood,the next minute you somewhere in a blighted area. Ugh,I just hate that.

The people won't change, they will have to move. New people or investors or HUD will have to buy people out and flip the houses. If the people come, businesses will come.
