Have you been to a Gallery Crawl night recently? The vibe isn't just like it was with Fat City (I dearly miss it as well -- I was probably there 2 - 3 nigthts a week for a couple years) but it is a far cry from typical for this city and I'd personally say much different than Disney-esqe. There is still quite a sincere funky, artsy, gay/straight, hippie, whatever contingent there that far outnumbers the faux element. Many of the original galleries are still there with ones that have been added that are great. The city's only Dog Bar is there. The wine bar in Nevitt Building has huge windows that open to the street and live music streaming out. Cabo Fish Taco...genuine funkyness. Drum circles and outside activity is always present. I think Salvador Deli and Solstice are great additions to NoDa -- locally owned, good food and vibe, and no KC to try and hit on your younger brother or give him drugs.
Just because there are condos and new houses doesn't mean the people that have bought them have to be different from those that lived in the area before.

I've read a lot about Uptown/Downtown, NoDa, SouthEnd, Dilworth, Southpark, Plaza-Mid, etc. on this site. Is anybody out there a resident on the westside, particularly within Route 4? Aside from Wilmore (which is considered 'west' anymore) what are the interesting areas for redevelopment/reinvestment in your opinion? What are the hidden gems? What are the perceptions? I have my opinions, I'd like to hear from others.

You can find the approved site plan on the City's website, it's not a clolored rendering. The rezoning petition number is 2003-41.

North Davidson has changed quite a bit since I've been here. I saw Digable Planets at Fat City, awesome show. I'm all for progress but it usually comes at some price but I'm glad the area is safer now, that's most important. As it continues to gentrify I hope all of the uniqueness is not lost. I've heard from a few folks in Wesley Heights who are not happy about the transition. New residents are snobby and not as friendly to the older/existing folks they say.
