"Not everything is gone. The Gibson School is still there and so is Baltic Bakery tucked in along Gibson Avenue, but mostly it's boarded-up shops, their grimy windows and chipped paint testament to years of neglect. The Aero Restaurant and Tavern is closed and so is Nick Casciano's Custom Tailor, though his sign still hangs forlornly above the store, hopelessly advertising Syd Silver formal wear to a street where the party is long over."

That article is 8 years old and Barton is still kind of crusty, although there are definite signs of life. The dead part is mostly from Sherman to the Hospital now. Empire Steel needs to pull the rest of that awful siding off(you can see a piece of a charming building peeking out the west end)
