    I live in Northside, Ohio… and am thrilled that my great neighborhood was mentioned in the article. When I bought my house several years ago, my parents were not exactly jumping for joy. The area is certainly in transition… but with the great shops, restaurants, library and recreation center within walking distance, it is the coolest neighborhood in Cincinnati!

    San Francisco’s Dogpatch is fantastic. It will only get better once the new waterfront park, pedestrian streets, and redeveloped Piers goes in as the “Mission Rock District”. They are also planning a new Muni line that goes directly to Union Square/China Town.

    Well it’s about time the world knew just how cool the OFW is. I’m so proud to live here in all this diversity – ethnic, economic and social! We’ve worked really hard as a neighborhood to take back our streets. We’re still working, but it’s paying off – as evidenced by this article, among other things.. Thank you so much..

    Should note that the “Pilsen arts distrcict” was started by an amazing man and now controlled by that man’s son– a complete idiot unkind to artists and only concerned with himself. Come to Chicago live in the area but do whatever you can to avoid giving money to Podmajersky.
