Morningside, Miami, Florida
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morningside is an officially designated historic neighborhood in an older part of Miami, Florida. It lies to the east of Biscayne Boulevard from NE 50th Terrace to NE 61st Street. Built in the 1920's as "Bay Shore" it prospered in the mid 20th century, and fell on hard times along with most of Miami's other inner city neighborhoods in the 60's and 70's. More recently Morningside was one of the first historic areas in central Miami to experience gentrification with an influx of affluent residents. It has now been fully restored.
When Pope John Paul II visited the United States he stayed at The Archbishop of Miami's home in the neighborhood.
Morningside is adjacent to Bay Point Estates, another more affluent, but less historic residential enclave in urban Miami.
