After skimming the article, I must have missed the section where we're supposed to describe the Third Ward as "scary as fuck". Could someone take care of that?

Do reliable sources say that? Who?
Wikipedia:V states clearly that analysis must come from published, reliable sources. Analysis from "Joe Blow" would be WP:OR and is outside of Wikipedia's scope.
Also Third_Ward,_Houston#Composition already mentions the problems in the northern Third Ward.

Note about block book maps

While Harris County has block book maps of various places, there aren't any for Midtown per se as Midtown didn't exist at the time.

A part of the western Third Ward, along with eastern Midtown, were a part of the James S. Holman Survey. See the index map here: http://books.tax.hctx.net/v019/AE1997_19-20_0001.jpg and http://books.tax.hctx.net/BlockBooksPDF/v019/AE1997_19-20_0001.PDF

Emancipation Park is page 25, Yates Junior High (Ryan Middle School) is page 33

http://books.tax.hctx.net/v006/001307.JPG / http://books.tax.hctx.net/BlockBooksPDF/v006/001307.PDF indicates a "Dunbar School" but it seems to be the wrong part of town :( WhisperToMe (talk) 09:26, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

BTW Holman Street Baptist Church's site is indicated in the "Corner Add" map (p. 296, Volume 56): http://books.tax.hctx.net/BlockBooksPDF/v056/AE1997_Vol_56_0189.pdf and http://books.tax.hctx.net/v056/AE1997_Vol_56_0189.jpg - the actual Map is Volume 118, Page 469

Holman Street Baptist Church maps:

Campus Section 1: http://books.tax.hctx.net/BlockBooksPDF/v118/AE1997_118-4_0011.pdf and http://books.tax.hctx.net/v118/AE1997_118-4_0011.jpg
Campus Section 2: http://books.tax.hctx.net/BlockBooksPDF/v118/AE1997_118-5_0115.pdf and http://books.tax.hctx.net/v118/AE1997_118-5_0115.jpg

(selecting Holman Street Baptist Church on the County site instead shows the Willowbrook Wastewater Treatment plant, which is page 467 of Volume 118) WhisperToMe (talk) 13:13, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Third Ward Redevelopment Council

GuideStar says it formed in 1994 https://www.guidestar.org/profile/76-0388773 and http://www.nonprofitfacts.com/TX/Third-Ward-Redevelopment-Council-Inc.html says it's based in the John B. Coleman Building.

I haven't found a URL for the group or updated info about its definition of the Third Ward. I wonder if it changed names or dissolved?

There is an Emancipation Economic Development Council but I do not know if it's related http://emancipationhouston.org/ WhisperToMe (talk) 20:34, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
