Poplar Level is a neighborhood five miles (8 km) southeast of downtown Louisville, Kentucky, USA. It is part of the larger Camp Zachary Taylor area. Named for the poplar wood planks that originally made up Poplar Level Road, the main roadway through the neighborhood as it stretched from Germantown to Petersburg, it is bounded by Eastern Parkway to the north, Poplar Level road to the west, Newburg Road to the east, and Interstate 264 to the south. The South Fork of Beargrass Creek runs through the neighborhood. ==Neighborhood characteristics== With many parklands, such as Joe Creason Park, two large cemeteries, Louisville Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery, the Beargrass Creek State Nature Preserve and the Louisville Zoo, less than 20% of land in Poplar Level contains residential development. While many of the southern portions of Poplar Level were developed as part of Camp Zachary Taylor in 1917, most modern residential development occurred in the 1950s, while most modern commercial development, such as area Kmart and Kroger stores, occurred in the 1960s. A resurgence of commercial development began in 2006, with the development of the ''Villages of Audubon'', the first major commercial development in Poplar Level in over 20 years. Adjacent to Norton Audubon Hospital, it is planned to have of retail space that will include a Chili's Grill & Bar, Panera Bread, Starbucks, and Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market. 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「Poplar Level, Louisville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
