I have always maintained a soft spot for transitional neighborhoods and communities - if you think about it, some of the most intriguing cities in the world are those under current renovation and restoration (Berlin, New York, Chicago, Istanbul). Although Berlin, Germany and Brooklyn, New York are the first two that pop into my mind - now, Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati will be a close third.
Rising above poverty, crime, and....wait for it....generational stereotypes (yuck!) - transitional areas often surprise you - and definitely provide a refreshing sense of hope.
Usually offering more affordable housing, fresh farmer's markets, vintage/thrift clothing stores, up-and-coming restaurants and ambitious entrepreneurs and designers - these neighborhoods have so much to offer, especially to those willing to offer a helping hand.
