I agree with Kevin - this area of SA has tons of potential. In fact, the enitre area on the near north side all the way to Trinity University and Hildebrand Ave has tons of potential. There are so many beatiful old homes here that are just waiting to be renovated. The enitre neighborhood reminds me alot of the King William area before its reemergence. There are a couple of great dive taco shops in the area that serve some of the best (and greasiest) Mexican food in SA. In fact, the orginial Taco Cabana is nearby.

Once the River North and Pearl Brewery districts start catching on I think alot of people will give this neighborhood the attention it deserves. The area will have so much to offer with Brackenridge Park and the newly expanded riverwalk just to the East... Now if we could only convice the folks out in Stone Oak to forego their 5000 sq/ft KB Home style houses and get excited about living in the city.
That area you mention Scizzo (near north side to Trinity) is already on its way. You have Monte Vista which speaks for itself but you also have the Tobin Hill and Beacon Hill areas also undergoing renovations of the historic homes as well as development of somewhere in the range of 30-40 town homes under construction at this moment, between the two districts.
