God, I either forgot or didn't realize how rough parts of Hamilton look. There is so much abandonment and really rundown houses around the station, which itself is abandoned and in bad shape. At least it looks like the neighborhood is transitioning to Latino, as there are a few restaurants (including a Dominican restaurant oddly enough) and Mexican groceries/corner stores now. Maybe that will continue and the neighborhood will at least have a little more life. Rehabbing the train station and having quick rail connections to Cincinnati and Oxford would probably help this portion of Hamilton quite a bit. I really hope it happens.
