travelguy_73 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Anyone with an interest in old homes, or discovering a "new" old neighborhood, should plan to attend the tour. Eastwood is a cool area that is extremely close to downtown. Still a bit hit and miss, but there are some decent bargains to be had.I specifically recall touring 4441 Rusk and can't wait to see the finished product!
