Despite being in the heart of the city and seemingly "here" for ages, Old City has seen some pretty remarkable changes over the last decade or so. We touched upon this recently in our Time Traveling series, but the changes near 2nd & Race St. from exactly a decade ago

Sometimes when we write an article, we have to dive years back into our extensive archives to find the last time we visited a site.
