I just think the Chickasaw corridor from the lee vista area up to the hospital and rio pinar isn't that bad of an area, its very established, mostly middle and upper class, and even has a little mansion area. yes mansion.
I only visited Quail Hollow back in 2007 (we moved out in 1999) it looked a lot worse then it did in 1999

Some of these pics are older. One of Downtown shows 55 West under construction, another shows Downtown in its pre-economic boom days. Another is the Citrus Bowl from the 408 and one of a Subaru car meet at a local Publix

Which Publix is that? I am looking at Kmart's website and can't see where there is a Publix and Kmart side by side like that.

Here are pictures I took today right after school. They are mostly in Avalon Park and along Avalon Park Blvd, and some are on 50, Alafaya and Lake Underhill. Sorry for some wierd angels and some blurry pics, I was driving while taking these (tried to take most at stop signs and red lights, and even pulled over to take some)
