It is located just east and south of the present downtown area which is only minutes away. It is also ideally situated for reaching other key parts of the city quickly. Highland Park as a place to live has been around since 1887.<p> <TABLE BORDER="0" cellspacing ="20"> <TR> <TD><font size="+1"><p align="justify">Highland Park quickly became popular due to the electric trolley system, known as the "Lightning Route", which at that time passed down the median on Highland Avenue. The availablilty of this quick and easy form of transportation to the downtown area caused a surge in development and the number of homes quadrupled in just a few short years.</p></font></TD> <TD><img src="images/trolley.jpg" width="225"> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <p> <TABLE BORDER="0" cellspacing ="20"> <TR> <TD><img src="images/highlandavenuetoday.jpg" height="275"> </TD> <TD><font size="+1"><p align="justify">Today, the trolley system may be gone from the median on Highland Avenue, but Highland Park is still a strong neighborhood close to downtown. Through the years, this neighborhood has seen a lot of changes. The ending of the trolley system in 1936 plus the ending of the local passenger train line of course brough changes to the way that people lived and travelled in the area.</p></font></TD> </TR> </TABLE> <TABLE BORDER="0" cellspacing ="20"> <TR> <TD><font size="+1"><p align="justify">In the end however, the core value of this neighborhood to the people who live here has never changed. Where it had its beginnings as a working-class neighborhood, it now encompasses a broad range of peoples from the modern working-class commuters, to young families just starting out, to retirees.</p></font></TD> <TD><img src="images/plumtoday.jpg" width="225"> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <p> <p> <p> </blockquote> <p align="center"><hr align="center" size=1 width=550 noshade></p> <H3>Our Mission</H3> <blockquote><font size="+1"><p align="justify">The objective of the Highland Park Association is to provide a means whereby the residents and property owners of Highland Park may become united in these matters of common interest to the community: <ol> <li>Beautification <li>Historic Designation <li>Promotion of the Neighborhood <li>Neighborhood Safety </ol> </p> </font></blockquote> <p align="center"><hr align="center" size=1 width=550 noshade></p>  <H3>Neighborhood Fact/Trivia of the Month</H3> <blockquote><font size="+1"><p align="justify">Many of the East-West streets in Highland Park are named after trees: Plum, Chestnut, Cherry, Pine, Poplar, etc.</p> </font></blockquote> <p align="center"><hr align="center" size=1 width=550 noshade></p> <H3>Yard of the Month</H3> <center><table border="0"> <tr> <td><font size="+1"><p align="center">Gladys Lindsay & Jane Hammer<br>344 Ryan Street</p><p><p align="center"><u>Beautification Committee</u>:<br> Elaine Gray<br> Trula Seay<br> Betty West<br> </font></p></td> <td><img src="images/yotm502.jpg" width="300"></td> </tr> </table></center> <p align="center"><hr align="center" size=1 width=550 noshade></p>  <font size="+1"> <CENTER> <FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT><FONT SIZE=+2>ontents</FONT> <P> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1"> <TR> <TD>[<a href="news.html">News</a>]</TD> <TD>[<a href="calendar.html">Calendar</a>]</TD> <TD>[<a href="info.html">Information</a>]</TD> <TD>[<a href="history.html">History</a>]</TD> <TD>[<a href="aota.html">Art on the Avenue</a>]</TD> <TD>[<a href="links.html">Links</a>]</TD> <TD>[<a href="m&#97ilto:info@hpa-online.org">E-Mail</a>]</TD> <TD></TD> </TR> </TABLE> <p align="center"><hr align="center" size=1 width=550 noshade></p> <DIV ALIGN=CENTER><H5> Images & Information  <a href="copyright.html">Copyright</a> &COPY; 2002 - Highland Park Association<BR> Graphics & Layout  <a href="copyright.html">Copyright</a> &COPY; 2002 - <a href="m&#97ilto:contact@tomkat-designs.com">TomKat Designs</a><BR> All Rights Reserved.   <script language="JavaScript" > document.write("Last Change: " + document.lastModified); // </script></H5></DIV> </BODY>
