  • Quality of Life in Lexington
    December 2018 QUALITY OF LIFE IN LEXINGTON Lexington is an ideal location for new project locations and expansions. Our educated workforce, proximity to a world-class research university, and innovative environment are among the many reasons Lexington is the best choice. Attractions in Downtown Lexington The median age of Lexington residents is 34.3 years, much lower than the state average of 38.6 and national average of 37.8. Lexington’s downtown has revitalized in response to the city’s young population. Downtown Lexington is a vibrant cultural hub with live music, art studios and galleries, museums, theaters, and outdoor festivals. In the past few years, downtown Lexington has deliberately revitalized, adding shops and restaurants that capture the diverse culture of Lexington’s young population, such as Urban Outfitters, Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen, HopCat Brew Pub, Rock House Brewery, and Pies & Pints. Over 100 retail shops and 170 restaurants and bars are located in downtown and the surrounding Thursday Night Live. Photo: Commerce Lexington Inc. neighborhoods. Most restaurants are casual dining and patio seating is common downtown, but Lexington has several fine dining options. There is also an array of coffee shops including local favorites Cup of Common Wealth, Common Grounds, and national chain Starbucks. In the heart of downtown, the Fifth Third Pavilion at Cheapside Park operates weekly events and supports a vibrant community. Thursday Night Live, an outdoor live music event, is held weekly from April to October at the Pavilion and attracts an average of 2,500 people each week. Every Saturday, over 3,000 people visit the Farmer’s Market at the Pavilion to purchase local produce, meats, cheeses, and other products while enjoying downtown.

  • East End and Davis Bottom
    EAST END AND DAVIS BOTTOM: A STUDY OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC AND LANDSCAPE CHANGES OF TWO NEIGHBORHOODS IN LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY MASTER’S PROJECT A Master’s Project submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Master of Historic Preservation in the College of Design at the University of Kentucky By Heather M. Dollins Lexington, Kentucky Chair: Dr. Karl Raitz, Professor of Geography Lexington, Kentucky 2011 Copyright © Heather M. Dollins 2011 ABSTRACT OF MASTER’S PROJECT EAST END AND DAVIS BOTTOM: A STUDY OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC AND LANDSCAPE CHANGES OF TWO NEIGHBORHOODS IN LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY This master’s project focuses on two separate neighborhoods in Lexington, Kentucky. Davis Bottom and the East End were predominately as post-Civil War African American urban clusters. The boundaries of the two chosen study areas were located within those two neighborhoods and based on size, location, and past, current, and future threats. The goals within the project are: to conduct in-depth archival research on the histories of selected areas within Davis Bottom and the East End; to use that research to expand on existing historic contexts and background research for each neighborhood; to survey all historic resources within each study area in accordance with State Historic Preservation Office standards; and to describe the current condition of the two neighborhoods. An important aspect of this project is the further development of the historic contexts of each study area. To expand the histories, primary documents such as census records, city directories, deeds, maps, and newspapers were consulted. Together all of these provided statistical data of the demographics and infrastructure of the Davis Bottom and East End study areas.
