Delmar Boulevard is a major east-west street in St. Louis, Missouri. == Route description == Delmar Boulevard starts at North 14th Street in Downtown St. Louis, as a westward extension of Convention Plaza. It passes through the neighborhoods of Downtown West and Midtown on its easternmost portions. Just west of Jefferson Avenue, at number 2658, is the Scott Joplin House State Historic Site. Delmar is interrupted at Spring Avenue by Cardinal Ritter College Prep High School; the street picks up again at Vandeventer Avenue, two blocks to the west. At Taylor Avenue, Delmar (which has been traveling west-northwest up to this point) assumes a more due westerly course. Between here and Skinker Boulevard, the boulevard passes through the neighborhoods of Vandeventer, Lewis Place, Fountain Park, Academy, Visitation Park, West End, and Skinker/DeBaliviere, passing many disused and derelict buildings. West of the MetroLink tracks at Rosedale Avenue, Delmar's character changes as the street enters the Delmar Loop, a neighborhood popular with students of nearby Washington University in St. Louis and known for many eclectic shops and restaurants. The Delmar Loop is home to several area landmarks, such as the Tivoli Theater and Blueberry Hill. On the Loop, just west of Skinker, Delmar leaves the City of St. Louis and enters the St. Louis County suburb of University City. West of Trinity Avenue, Delmar climbs a hill out of the Loop. Beyond this point, Delmar changes to a largely residential character, which it assumes for the rest of its route. After about two miles, Delmar crosses Interstate 170, where it has an interchange (Exit 2), before coming to an end at Price Road shortly thereafter. Delmar is often considered to represent a major socioeconomic divide in the city, having come to demarcate the poorer, largely African American neighborhoods located to the north from the more affluent (and largely white) ones to the south. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Delmar Boulevard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
