My neighborhood may improve.

So, my city councilwoman included this blurb in her e-newsletter today:

On East Colfax, the prevalent prostitution & street crime along the corridor has been reduced to the point where development would and IS coming! The first major development
to occur east of Monaco Parkway since the motel era will break ground this August.

That's pretty much my neighborhood. And while it may take awhile, redevelopment is certainly overdue and will be pretty cool, I hope, when all is said and done.
