Residents of the area have been voicing concern that their neighbourhood is being forgotten or neglected for other richer areas of the city (as it is the poorest neighbourhood in Windsor), with the closure of its only bank branch (a CIBC office, now vacant), and the loss of the local Shoppers Drug Mart, which concerns many in the area. Rexall has opened a store beside the former Shoppers Drug Mart. The neighbourhood contains many abandoned houses, including a long stretch on the east side of Indian Road. While neighbourhoods with a high concentration of vacant houses are a common phenomenon in nearby Detroit, they are very rarely found in Canadian cities, even those that have experienced large population decreases.
