Gentrification

Postby itsjrd1964 » 29 Sep 2021 15:59

We have seen it in State-Thomas, Little Mexico, and Bishop Arts. Now Elm Thicket/Northpark (east of Love Field between Lovers and Mockingbird) is beginning to see change. Several residents are concerned that the look and charm of the area they have enjoyed for many years will be lost.

I recall seeing some signs while driving through Elm Thicket recently (was going to a couple spots on Lovers Ln). It is definitely jarring seeing vintage bungalows next to giant new-builds, a thing which irks me anytime I see it.
