Thats been a shitshow forever. For years that site was home to the Pabst brewery, super visible from the parkway. Once it closed it got scrapped and became a massive eyesore that sat there for over a decade. When they eventually did tear it down they apparently did not properly remediate the building for pests. Rats flooded the surrounding neighborhood by the thousand, and it's been a huge problem ever sense. Meanwhile that land just sits there. The whole thing just sucks.

Dang! That rusty bottle was my moms beacon to get home when ever she ventured “too far” west! 🥹🥹🤣

West Ward has the oldest housing stock and is the furthest from train and light rail. I'd guess the strip west of West Side Park headed towards Grove Street will have a hard time attracting investment.

That area and most of the section of Irvington that borders it looks depressing as hell
