A circular sidewalk type thing at the northwest corner
of Park and Woodlawn.
|
#070 |
(640×480 JPG,

|
Looking east on Woodlawn towards Crittenden Drive. The
UPS 747 shows how close one of the new parallel runways
really is.

Looking north on Park Boulevard from Woodlawn, towards
Nevada.

Notice some of the industrial businesses that still
remain.

wide-angle shot this time.

Once again, looking north on Park from Woodlawn.

Woodlawn.
|
#078 |

|
Looking north-by-northwest at the intersection of Park
and Hiawatha now. Signals are flashing yellow.
|
#079 |
(640×480 JPG,
93924 bytes)
|
Looking west on Hiawatha from Park Boulevard. Note the
barracaded remnants of Highland Park's comprehensive
network of alleys. Also note how pretty much everything
west of the tracks remains.
|
#080 |
(640×480 JPG,
99616 bytes)
|
Looking east on what was Hiawatha towards Crittenden
Drive. The sign still standing today (November 2000) says:
``NOTICE - Hiawatha Ave. between Park Blvd. and Crittenden
Dr. Will Close Feb. 1, 1996.''
|
#081 |
(640×480 JPG,

|
The empty land is technically property of the Regional
Airport Authority, just incase anyone's walking around. In
the background is an old building related to gas southwest
of Park/Hiawatha.
|
#082 |

Another shot of the abandoned building. You can also see
what remains of an alley.

Louisville Avenue, looking north towards Ottawa and the
Watterson Expressway.

|
Louisville Avenue, looking south towards Ottawa and the
Woodlawn Overpass.
|
#086 |
(640×480 JPG,
95521 bytes)
|
Louisville Avenue, looking north. The barracaded street
was either Mohawk, Wampum, or one of the alleys.
|
#087 |
(640×480 JPG,
64714 bytes)
|
Louisville Avenue, looking north from the intersection
with what was once Southern Heights.
|
#088 |
(640×480 JPG,

|
What was once Southern Heights was the jog you had to
take to continue on (eastern) Louisville Avenue.
|

|
Another shot looking north from Louisville and Southern
Heights.

|
Louisville Avenue, looking north from just past the
Watterson.
|
#091 |
(640×480 JPG,

|
Looking west towards (still existing) Adair Street on
the other side of the tracks.
|
#092 |
(640×480 JPG,
82677 bytes)
|
Looking east towards Park Boulevard along where I
believe North Adair Street once existed.
|
#093 |
(640×480 JPG,

|
Under the Watterson, looking west at some graffiti.
|
#094 |
(640×480 JPG,
73898 bytes)
|
Looking southeast under the Watterson. In the background
is a pedestrian walkway over the railroad tracks which was
rebuilt a few years before the neighborhood got bought
out.
|
#095 |
(480×640 JPG,
49036 bytes)
|
Someone tried to feed some animals here.
|
#096 |
(640×480 JPG,

|
The mighty pedestrian walkway, looking west.
|
#097 |
(640×480 JPG,

|
Looking east from the walkway on the sidewalk leading to
Park Boulevard.
|
#098 |

Another abandoned gas building.
|

the Airport, and the Fairgrounds.
|

Looking south on what was a north-south alley west of
Park Boulevard, towards Southern Heights.
|
#101 |
(640×480 JPG,

|
The front of the abandoned gas building.
|
#102 |
(640×480 JPG,

|
This building provided shelter for at least one homeless
person.

and Park Boulevard.

|
#105 |
(640×480 JPG,

|
Another view under the Watterson. There was actually
pretty much nothing under the Watterson in the last few
years of Highland Park's life.
|
#106 |
(640×480 JPG,
69204 bytes)
|
Another shot of the pedestrian overpass.
|
#107 |
(640×480 JPG,

|
Looking from the overpass northbound on Louisville
Avenue.
|
#108 |
(640×480 JPG,
95275 bytes)
|
Looking from the overpass southbound on Louisville
Avenue. Intersecting street is what was once Southern
Heights. Louisville Avenue continues alongside the
tracks.
|
#109 |

|
Looking northwest at the Watterson and the tracks.

|
Looking south directly at the railroad tracks from the
overpass.
|
#112 |
(640×480 JPG,
76686 bytes)
|
Looking south on western Louisville Avenue. Pretty much
everything west (to the right) of the tracks remains
intact.
|
#113 |
(640×480 JPG,
98760 bytes)
|
Looking southeast at Louisville Avenue's jog on Southern
Heights.
|
#114 |

|
Another shot looking south at the tracks.
|
#115 |
(640×480 JPG,

|
Despite the airplane noise, Highland Park is probably
quiet enough for someone to sleep here.
|
#117 |
(640×480 JPG,

|
One of the 2/10-mile markers on the Watterson.
|
#118 |
(640×480 JPG,

|
Another shot of the Big Green Signs for Exits 11 and
12.
|
#119 |

On the overpass coming down looking eastbound towards
Park Boulevard.
|

|
Some kids tore this fence between Louisville Avenue and
the railroad tracks down about ten or so years ago. It's
still torn down.
|
#125 |
(640×480 JPG,
52936 bytes)
|
I believe we're looking east on what was Seneca or an
alley, now a field of grass.
|
#126 |
(640×480 JPG,
86708 bytes)
|
In this and the next few photos we are looking at where
all the tracks leading to the L&N South Louisville
Shops were once located. Now it's a parking lot of some
sort. The Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, built over where
the Shops once stood, is in the background of most of
these. These shots were taken from Dakota Avenue between
Louisville and Park.

|
Some fenced-in property south of Dakota between Park and
Louisville.
|
#131 |
(640×480 JPG,
52437 bytes)
|
Looking south at the realigned intersection at what was
Park Boulevard and Ottawa Avenue. Park Boulevard, north and
east of this intersection, is the street that makes a
gradual 90-degree curve. The sign indicates that ``Old Park
Boulevard'' continues south. However, as we shall see in a
moment, the signs on ``Old Park Boulevard'' south of the
Watterson simply say Park Boulevard!
|
#132 |
(640×480 JPG,
52429 bytes)
|
Park Boulevard just south of Hiawatha, looking towards
Nevada.
|
#133 |
(640×480 JPG,
64617 bytes)
|
The intersection of Park Boulevard and Nevada Avenue was
also realigned with a separate turning lane from westbound
to northbound. This picture was taken from inside the car
through the windshield, hence the glare from the reflection
off a trusty well-used copy of the Graphic Street Guide of
Louisville.
|
#134 |
(640×480 JPG,
72541 bytes)
|
Looking closer to confirm the signs for Park and Nevada,
installed no more than a few years ago when this particular
style of sign with the fleur-de-lis started showing up in
Louisville.
|
#135 |
(480×640 JPG,
51062 bytes)
|
Signs for Park and Hiawatha, also installed no more than
a few years ago.
|
#136 |
(640×480 JPG,
41001 bytes)
|
The intersection of ``Old Park Boulevard'' and Park
Boulevard (formerly Park and Wawa).
|
#137 |
(640×480 JPG,
58830 bytes)
|
I believe this is looking west on where Wawa Avenue once
was.
