Welcome on the blog for the fifth update. After Bridgeport district, Washington District, Monroe district and Downtown districts, let me show you Lawn and Lawnwood. Areas we are talking about are highlighted on the map.
Please note that the Subway's post and demography are written and available on the blog. Others pages will come progressively, i think. Have fun!
The district of Lawnwood is a medium density residential and commercial districts. It was one of the districts of origin. The most important site in the area is the Lawnwood Port, built in 1959 a commercial and transit port on the Norridge Lake, however, an major part of the coast has been saved. Near Garfield Park are Millennium Station, Amatrak intercities trains stop, and the Shelby County General Hospital, the city's greatest medical center.
The district of Lawn is a high-medium density district. It's house of commercials buildings, offices and residential complexes. It's contain one of most important park in the city, the Humbolt Park (19.4 ha), in front of the Norridge Lake, providing a great view.
