Morningside, Miami, Florida
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morningside is a residential historic neighborhood in an older part of the City of Miami, Florida, United States. It lies mostly to the east of Biscayne Boulevard from NE 50th Terrace to NE 62nd Street.[1] Morningside is just north of and adjacent to Bay Point Estates, another more affluent but less historic residential enclave in urban Miami. It's in a section of Miami known as the Upper Eastside.
[edit] History
Started in the 1920s 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 the first historic area in central Miami to experience gentrification with an influx of more-affluent residents. It has now been fully restored. The Morningside Historic District (officially the Bayshore Historic District) runs from NE 55th Street to NE 60th Street; it was the first historic district to be designated as such in the City of Miami.
When Pope John Paul II visited the United States, he stayed at what was then the home of Archbishop Edward McCarthy on NE 53rd Street.
