That area is economically depressed. I live in Morgan Park not far from the unabated declining shopping corridor. Years ago though it was vibrant. The housing and the business / shopping climate have taken an enormous downward toll. Pouring millions into that four block interior at this time or near future may prove unfruitful. There are a few clusters of middle – upper middle class, albeit, that group presently does not shop in the quadrant. Overall, the area is sweltering in low income sphere and crime. A robust comeback would be great but risky.
