Spring Branch Rez

Eh, it is there for future viewers to read such as yourself. I do not care if I get a reply. I am just sick of seeing beautiful older homes and businesses getting bulldozed in the name of progress. It's not progress for those whose families settled the area, built it, and gave it the very character that appealed to buyers that then came in droves to crush it and run off the previous mentioned.

Just my personal rant:

My Canadian relatives are visiting and I drove them down N Sheperd from I-10 to 610-N to visit the local BBQ eatery of Gabby's. I have lived in the Greater Heights for about six years now. Can anybody tell me has N Sheperd always been this rundown and ugly? They were asking me why there are so many used car lots in my area. I didn't have an answer and the street streetscape is a poor reflection of what Heights can be. I am wondering why these low rent properties haven't been replaced with more commercial property that refects the everchanging monetary demographics of the Heights.

In other words, why haven't these businesses that helped form this community you decided to move to been run off despite our best efforts to finish gentrifying the area?
