Patterson Park gets 'comeback neighborhood' nod

Southern Living magazine is featuring 10 "comeback neighborhoods" in its January issue, and Patterson Park in Baltimore -- which went downhill and then bootstrapped itself up again with the help of a rehabbing nonprofit -- is one of them. So says the Nashville Business Journal.

Other neighborhoods on the list include East Nashville, Springfield in Jacksonville, Fla. and Holy Cross in New Orleans.

Thanks to Wonk reader MCG for the heads up.
