Midtown is the area on the north side of downtown Tallahassee running along Thomasville Road and Monroe Street roughly between Third Avenue on the south boundary and Bradford/Betton Road on the north side. In 2016, Midtown elected Etienne Mazimpaka as its first mayor. It is a popular local gathering place day to evening, incorporating a walkable restaurant, shopping and nightlife central corridor.  Popular and historic downtown neighborhoods such as Lafayette Park, Levy Park, Los Robles, Betton Hills and Forest Glen and Tallahassee's first shopping center Capital Plaza border the Midtown area. You can find the Midtown Merchants Association online at http://iheartmidtown.com.

To further support the spike in interest and economic development in the Midtown area, the City of Tallahassee launched the 5th Avenue Beautification Project in 2012.  The project will place gas lamps and create a pedestrian mall area on 5th Avenue adjacent to Whataburger.  The effort is part of the City of Tallahassee/Leon County "placemaking," building a sense of place inside a community to encourage community connection and economic development.  You can find more information about the City of Tallahassee's efforts in Midtown online here.

See the presentation below by NAI TALCOR President Ed Murray about what's new in Midtown (May 2012, Fast Forward Tallahassee), for information on Midtown and projects like the Whole Foods market which will be build on the site of Miracle Plaza.
