The neighborhood near South Broadway, between the Central Business District, Limerick and Old Louisville, in the last few years, has been affectionately named SoBro. Sobro connects businesses and residential areas in historic areas of the downtown Louisville corridor. In the past, Sobro mixed residential, manufacturing, and commercial uses. The city of Louisville has designated SoBro as a planned development district, in the hopes to socially and architecturally rejuvenate the area and promote Louisville as a place for creativity, diversity and investment. Visiting SoBro today, the newest efforts by the city are noticeable. Murals enhance properties. Buildings are undergoing construction. The addition of new landscaping and green spaces adorning Sobro point to signs of a community on the rise.
