That particular stretch of Sherman, North of Barton is one of the worst in the city in terms of concentrated depression. Most of it however is in that shot, the rest of the street North of there is empty fields, railway or active industrial.
Funny thing is that if you took that picture 5 years ago, I'm pretty sure non of that was abandoned. I used to work across the street and I don't remember it being so bad. I'm very certain the fire in that building happened within the last 2 or 3 years.
