I have a sister who lives there, and the locals talk up an area called Myers Park… older homes, nearer to downtown. That said, there’s a lot of newer high-end development going on, also, which is likely where the newer money is going.
As for downtown, if you visit, make sure you take a ride on the world’s slowest and most useless trolley car. Since they didn’t have the road crossing guards installed at the time, at every stop, a person had to run off the trolley and block off the street, wait for the trolley to pass, stop, wait for them to jump back on, then it roared off at 5mph to the next corner. Good aerobic exercise for someone, I guess…
