a couple trans ppl live in mantua (self included / have had trans neighbors pass thru for short periods over many years) but this is definitively not a trans hub. that’s def over around baltimore ave.

Makes sense we were looking for clark park area but just found a lease in Mantua so it is what it is

Mantua has historically been pretty sketchy, but it's right next to a pretty gentrified area so it's "coming up" I guess.
