What made ...

Heritage Hill or East Side would have been great areas for this when I lived there 8 years ago.

I came back completely impressed with rich cultural heritage, and at the same time came away very shocked at the condition of residential buildings and dirty streets (I found Rome & Florence pretty clean), but other parts of Italy, dog poops every where...ugh. 

They are keeping their heritage and improving their lot and their children's. 

I recommend @Caleb Brown, Re/Max Heritage, Blue Springs, MO, he works with investors, knowledgeable, honest and cool. 

The city has set up a "heritage trail" that includes the island as (so a local legend supposedly states) the first part of Pittsburgh that George Washington came to when he first surveyed the area before the French and Indian War.

Lots written here about long distance investing, there are just more risks going out of town.I suggest you contact SOHO, Save Our Heritage Organisition, yes, with an "s" not a "z".

Midwest heritage will do them on their commercial end...

This may include heritage trees, easements, setback lines, CC&Rs, slopes of lots (topography), ordinances, zoning, critical environment features, etc.  

A little more manual intervention involved for Bank of America, but they do have a free mechanism to download transaction activity to Quicken.I also have banking relationships with BB&T, Pentagon Federal Credit Union, Palmetto Heritage Bank, First Citizens Bank and TD Bank.
