Cincy Vacant Buildings, Exposé-style?

 "Vacant buildings are the rotten teeth in a street's smile."Giggle. So starts this Cincinnati.com article about the many sadly vacant buildings. I'm so torn: on one hand, at least this isn't the regular blurb about the latest drunk driving incident. On the other, the tone of the article comes off rather demeaning and patronizing of the neighborhoods it describes. There is a very sad beauty to these vacant buildings- you can see what they used to be and what they could be. I guess all I wanted to say was, maybe this could have been written with a different light.
