Nice pictures! I'm glad to see you covering some Southern places again like you cover Pennsylvania and nearby areas. The Fan District looks like a great neighborhood.

Isn't some of this the "Uptown" neighborhood, as indicated by the signage on the telephone poles? Can someone confirm or refute this?

Some of it is Churchill, and some is in Jackson Ward. I should have pointed that out.

Definitely a sweet hood. Unfortunately, the South doesn't have a lot of truly great urbanity, but the small amount we do have is excellent.
