St. Marcus Commemorative Park

I used to live near here for years, so this review will have some personal perspective.  For instance, there are red tailed hawks and fox that hunt in this area.  I cannot seem to find the proof, but I am convinced this part of the city was either a former landfill or common dumping grounds; or maybe when the cemetery was abandoned, it was filled and graded with crude fill dirt.  Why?

The Boulevard Heights Neighborhood

The Boulevard Heights Neighborhood

The neighborhood has some areas that are typical of South City, a la Holly Hills, Princeton Heights, Southampton, etc.  Other parts of the neighborhood are more suburban with cul-de-sacs and no sidewalks, etc. Overall, the edge of the city that gives you a distinct feel of the Southside, with a taste of what South County becomes.
