Glenwood Avenue was one of the first major thoroughfares which would lead to suburban expansion in the 1950s. It now runs from its origin at Morgan Street to Brier Creek, north-west. It was a minor nightlife hub in the city prior to the 2000s, but truly became the city's entertainment center throughout the 2000s.
