Here's a NYT article quote from what appears to be a NYT initiative to talk up NYC's 'hoods.

"But when Mr. Franck learned of New Community Corporation's efforts to revitalize the Central Ward, he was "absolutely floored." Among other things, the 27-year-old agency has built 3,000 units of housing, a nursing home, an elementary school,seven day-care centers and the first new shopping center in the Central Ward in 30 years. New Community receives funds from a variety of sources, including Government, foundations and corporations. The executive director, Msgr. William J. Linder, said the sculptures are the agency's first project to focus on beauty instead of practical things."

Apparently the WSJ is on a similar mission.

Well, the beautiful neighborhood described in the WSJ really exists. I grew up there.
