Such a cool neighborhood. Was in the area for work and ate at a really cool restaurant across from a very urban shopping mall with Whole Foods. The homes are old and gorgeous and it had a very peaceful feel to it when walking around at night. Also very close to downtown and getting to the airport. Will visit again when back in town!
