A street over would be Walnut or Main streets, which now have a packed barcade, and a pretty solid empanada place, etc. The change even in the last two years is extremely positive, and I would have to disagree that the article greatly overstates it.

That said, past Liberty or Main certainly has some unsavory characters, but for the most part they're only dangerous to each other. I lived in that area recently and go back frequently. I never felt unsafe in the area that's experienced significant development, even late at night.

I think a lot of people who formed their opinion of OTR back in the race riots would do well to revisit and go in with an open mind. It's quite a wonderful place now
