It's not exactly mostly empty and isn't being vandalized. It's busy everyday. There's a bank, Family Dollar, hair care, police station, health store, convenience store, and a couple of other places.Stocktonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350523808946777113.post-57291345310381208782012-07-07T04:46:56.611-05:002012-07-07T04:46:56.611-05:00I grew up near 51st and Kimball, in the Welborn ar...I grew up near 51st and Kimball, in the Welborn area. I can't tell exactly which streets the houses you've shown are on, but they look familiar. A grocery store has returned to the area at 55th and Leavenworth Rd. It's very clean and decent, well-run. I think they've even sourced the kids who work there from out of the immediate area. The store is nothing fancy, doesn't have a deli, etc., but it's clean and well-run. The entire area seems very "country", even the blacks. But then I think Quindaro seems rural.Stocktonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350523808946777113.post-33590374118544028652011-08-23T14:56:10.476-05:002011-08-23T14:56:10.476-05:00Wow, how depressing.

On the way back we took a trip down memory lane for dad and drove by Sumner. <br /><br />After that trip and now your post, I don't think I'll ever make my way back to the old neighborhoods or the baseball parks you describe, which is actually the saddest part for me.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13296284351790713623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350523808946777113.post-77004084891246054272011-08-10T17:52:06.255-05:002011-08-10T17:52:06.255-05:00I don't have much of a comment, the situation ...I don't have much of a comment, the situation is even worse outside of the metro area.
