14th St.?[edit]
Was never a pedestrian thoroughfare in Hyde Park. That was in Old North, and way south of Branch/Buchanan/any other boundary for Hyde Park. What's the deal? Lequis (talk) 13:59, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
Good question. Whitebox (talk) 17:26, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
General Relevance[edit]
Desperately needs re-write. The closing of the GM plant had little to do with the downfall of Hyde Park. The neighborhood's demise was part of the whole "white flight" movement of the fifties and sixties, and clearly exacerbated by the arrival of the Interstate Highway around 1958 or so. The GM plant which was located at Union Avenue and Natural Bridge Roads, far and away from Hyde Park, did not close until 1986. General Motors leaving the city had little, if anything, to do with any past or present urban blight taking place in Hyde Park. Wilke339 (talk) 20:34, 26 May 2016 (UTC)wilke339
