Just drove by and saw the remnants of the two brick buildings on the lot immediately to the north of the 7-11. I’m guessing this signifies an impending development. Also, it’s sad as there is now only a single remaining Oregon Hill home on Belvidere, the one brick home on that same block.
Damn! I went looking for a photo of these houses but haven’t been able to find anything yet.
I saw that also. The houses were in crap condition, but that is not the point. Landlords that hold on to thier properties and let them rot, until a big scool fund comes in or a developer comes by and dangles loadss of cash for their delapidation is not the way we should be allowing the free market to play. The city must get tough on rotting houses for preservation of Neighborhoods. This is a big disappointment.

I added the photo above from 5/2007 by F33 of the houses that were destroyed.
