This gives a nice pictorial overview of the neighborhood, showing how diverse it is, not to mention how beautiful it is.

This is a terrific photo essay even by the usual very high standards of Ennis and Dan.

Where is the building pictured immediately below Kirby-Smith located?  I don't believe I've seen it before.
The tourist would realize at once that he had struck the Land of Flowers - the City Beautiful!

Great JOB! It really is the prettiest district, when shown in this context. Can you please do Avondale/Riverside next, pretty please with sugar on it?

It is on the northwest corner of Market and Tenth, across the intersection from Corrine Scott/
Market Street Lofts.

Wow, gorgeous stuff - it's like a whole different town.  And honestly, when I go over there it totally feels different;  kind of wraps its arms around you in welcome.  Is Old Holy Rosary still currently a Catholic church?

^^No, Holy Rosary is now a Seventh Day Adventist, I think.  Always lots of activity, seems like a nice congregation.

Absolutely beautiful and stunning job.  Certainly not the Springfield I knew in the 1980's and early 90's, a change for the better I must say.
