Despite the gloomy report, there is reason to believe LaRez may be making a comeback. Money is being spent to rehabilitate previously deteriorating homes, and the planning report admitted a turnaround was possible when it said LaRez ``has potential in its wealth of architecturally significant structures, the diversity of its people, its plentiful housing stock and its convenient central location.''
The neighborhood also has a very active community association which, along with the city, is working hard to bring about a much needed ``LaResurrection.''
(Editor's note, 1997: And the resurrection happened, and the neighborhood as a result developed one of the city's strongest neighborhood associations.
