    "The people are diverse, progressive,tolerant, fun-loving and easy going. The businesses are walkable, the restaurants are eclectic and generally reasonably priced. The porchfest is soooo much fun, and not commercial. Just good people having fun. Everybody that lives in this neighborhood loves it."

    "I have lived here for 30+ years, and I have seen the evolution of the neighborhood first hand. Great amenities, very high walk score, and safe for kids and adults alike. Some of the people are very friendly, but others are the uptight and antisocial. There is definitely a very evident social barrier present. "
