Thousands of people not only work in the downtown area, but live here.This is truly a young-meets-old neighborhood. Long the site of massive warehouses servicing river traffic, today those monolithic structures have been converted to upscale loft apartments and first class condominiums with luxurious amenities and extraordinary views of the Mississippi River and the skyline.
The Warehouse district has also become a rapidly-growing arts district, with Julia Street and its galleries and the Contemporary Arts Center the center of local modern art activities.The new D-Day Museum just opened to rave reviews, and the area continues to grow and thrive.
