One of my girlfriends back in 2002-2003 lived off Sherwood near that Podnah's. How's that area now? We used to sit outside and goof off all night -- a few of us. I bet it's different circumstances now.
It's still fine, Mango's is right there and draws some decent crowds for beach volleyball pretty much every night of the week

Yeah, once you get south of I-12 it's fine.

It was much better in the 90s but starting to decline. We used to shop at that Albertsons quite often.
When that store was built it was Skaggs-Albertson's and was the first in the city circa about 1976. They split up around 1980.
They had a bar next to it that I can't remember the name but it had nickel beer night and the Belaire jellyheads hung out there. I knew a few of them.

Cooley’s was the name of the bar

Haven’t there been problems with home invasions and shootings at apartments on South Sherwood too, closer to Coursey?

Yes, and not too far away the once safe area of Jones Creek/Shenandoah looks like a shell of its former self. Amazing how some of these once decent/prosperous areas exponentially erode in a matter of 15-20 years.

When an area turns bad where do they get all the new people that want to move in? Are there neighborhoods in NBR with people just waiting and watching for the next foothold to open up south of Florida?

At least some of the turnover is people trying to get out of halfway houses and into an apartment.
Any con coming out of of one of those places isn’t likely to be a high quality tenant and I’m sure there is a decent volume of them.

It's all of those shitty apartments that ruined the area.
The Brandywine started it in the late 70's. It wasn't bad but it changed that side of Sherwood a bit. Those on the other side of Sherwood were killers though literally. Brought the area from a family with kids area to more transient.
When they opened Sherwood to greenwell springs road changed things too. That area of Choctow was all industrial for decades.

Area use to be good back in the 70’s and 80’s. My father owned 20 properties in that area. Then I bought him out when I moved back from California.
It was going down then Katrina put the nail in the coffin.
Tenants in my rental properties were Asian which the area was not that bad, then African Americans the crime rose big time, and then it just turned Latino the last few years.
Crime in that area is not uncommon and not worth investing in property in that area at this point.
The sucker who bought my units out paid so much there not much left in after he pays a note to make any money off of it.

Ha. My bucket list is to travel back in time to see the day the Brandywine Apartments opened.

My buddy lived on Darryl Drive on the opposite side of Sherwood for years and it wasn't terrible. This would have been early 90s. I can remember Plank Road and Glen Oaks being decent when I was a kid.
