Northwest 23rd Avenue Gets Depressed

An errand gave me reason today to walk the length of Northwest 23rd Avenue, the neighborhood that curmudgeonly bloggers like to call "trendy-third." These days, the street is looking a little less trendy. I counted 19 vacancies between Burnside and Thurman, most of them recent. Given the lousy state of the local economy, we can probably expect to see more. See photos, below.
