Truxton more or less emerged in the 80s. I think of it as a sub-neighborhood of Shaw. There is a small contingent who want to call it Dunbar-Shaw instead of Truxton Circle.<br />$685K is a bit much, but lets see what the market says.Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12378722789147387229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-8701798867218320652011-08-02T07:18:41.185-04:002011-08-02T07:18:41.185-04:00I had a friend who lived on that block a couple of...I had a friend who lived on that block a couple of years ago & even the pizza delivery places wouldn't come to that street. $685K??
