I didn't realize that was a continuation of another business. I take it the food was good?

I'm close enough I could probably hit the side of their building with a rock and I've been watching that building go from "Wow, why has that not been torn down yet" to "Huh, someone could move in there tomorrow" over the last year and a half.

I lived a little further down on Buena Vista for a year or two near the park, also in Manchester next to the baseball field. The neighborhood around Buena Vista is fine and I’ve always felt safe walking around there at night. Towards the hospital and the Giant Eagle where you’re talking about, definitely not. My roommate at the time witnessed a drive by a block from the hospital. The guy was just sitting in his car parked in front of that church across from the park and sadly didn’t make it. The helicopter is also super disruptive. I couldn’t imagine living right there.

I think the neighborhood is going to change a lot over the next 10 years, same with Manchester. A lot of businesses moving in, new apartment buildings, rent prices going up, etc.

I’ve lived on Cedar since 2017, and I am leaving the end of this month. This response is hauntingly accurate. There are multiple helicopter landings a day, and they are loud. They’ve woken me up from dead sleep countess times. Yes the farmers market across the street/local events are lovely, until you have to illegally park 10 blocks away from your home because all of your street parking is being used for people outside the neighborhood. The trees in the park are pruned so thin there’s a direct eyeline of people hanging out in them. The mental health/addiction crisis is evident everyday.

I've lived on east Ohio st. since this past spring. It is definitely occasionally rowdy, but I have never felt directly unsafe or threatened. Keep your wits about you, don't go to the ATM at 3 in the morning, and this is a really lovely neighborhood.

We moved to the northside right before the pandemic and we love it! Everyone is so nice and friendly. And there are so many people truly invested in the area and are working really hard to make it better. It definitely has it's problems but there's a certain vibe that it has that I think is hard to find elsewhere. We moved from out of state and had no ties to the area but we were definitely drawn in.
