Thinking about leaving CC and moving to the G-town, C-Hill, Mt A area. But I do not know the area well. I have been lurking on the forum.

1) Want to still walk to places to eat and drink (The new pizza brewery place sounds great; what are the other good places? All on Gtown ave?)
2) I have 2 kids (3 yeras and 3 months). Are there particular areas that meet the above that are heavily infested with kids?
3) Are there contractors that buy dumpy places and fix them up in this area? Ideally, would like to do this and renovate to my/our tastes.

Thanks
