It is the area within the boundaries of the MO River (North), Riverside Dr.-Clark Ave.-Moreau Dr.(East), Leslie Blvd.-Stadium Blvd. (South), Southwest Blvd.-Dix Rd.-Boonville Rd (West). Mostly it's a place where lots of time, energy, and funds are sent.

Speaking of revitlization, some entity needs to revitalize that blasted out, weed covered eysore on West Stadium Blvd. across from JCMG. It used to be a nice looking cedar forested hillside. There ARE parts of Jefferson City besides uptown and old town.
