About The Neighborhood: Downtown

From its days as the 20th century epicenter of St. Louis' garment and shoe manufacturing district, downtown St. Louis has undergone a myriad of changes and modifications. What was once considered just another depressed urban core has been reinvented as a neighborhood for the 21st century Midwesterner. Downtown's Loft District blurs the line between work and play, thanks to its cohabitation of major corporations, small businesses, residential lofts, boutiques, galleries, restaurants and nightspots. The neighborhood's evolution has returned the once proud historic buildings to service and succeeded in making the heart of the region pulse with activity and life.

 

Downtown's boundaries are defined as the Mississippi River on the east, Jefferson Avenue on the west, Cole Street to the north and I-64/Highway 40 on the south.
