    "It is a diverse neighborhood but becoming less so.Rent goes up.Wages do not.Old buildings of character get emptied and turned into condos for for business types,spoiled children in a sea of khakis.I love this town. It’s where the different could come and find each other. That which made this town appealing for the leisure class has priced out the artists and misfits that created it"

    "Bar crawls and hangouts in the median. But pretty quite. But walking distance to Irish festival and other events put on by the city. It’s usually quiet, which is actually the nicest part of living in the museum district. There are also a lot of great pros in the surrounding area that are easy to get. "

    "I moved to the Museum District in order to downsize and age in place without the necessity of owning a car. The neighborhood is almost perfect for my needs. The uneven and broken sidewalks require extra caution for those with mobility issues and places to sit and rest are few and far between. "
