I think that the subway, when completed, will revitalize the area. But it's a mammoth construction project. If you're a business, the wait is just terrible.

Prices move in anticipation of things happening.
Some of the Victorians are amazing. . . . And you get a lot of house for what you buy. Beyond the chaos of the Metro construction are other promising beginnings. Started five years ago on a vacant lot, the community garden is filled with big leafy heads of cabbage, almost-ripe corn and sunflowers with heads so heavy that they droop. And it is amazing to see the different types of growing procedures that people use.
