Light Industry?

I'm not sure about the zoning in this part of town. Maybe it is light industry or mixed commercial. 

It can't be all bad because there are a lot of stray cats around here and somebody goes to the trouble of feeding them.

Lots of abandoned houses are near this area. I don't know what you could do with structures like this. Try to fix them up and I doubt that you could ever recover your investment. This area was a lot more viable for small businesses before I-27 ripped through it. The houses represent what was once lower middle class, when there still was a lower middle class. Lots of good people lived in houses like these, in neighborhoods like these.
