## Neighborhood characteristics[edit]

Loring Park is locally known for its diverse social environment and as a nexus for many arts and cultural events, boasting over 300 businesses and institutions. Loring Park hosts the annual Twin Cities Pride Festival and is the end location of the pride parade. The Loring Park District, according to its official site, offers the "quintessential urban lifestyle," a blend of "condominium and apartment living." The philosophy of the district is one of coalescence: it seeks to mix the old with the new, desiring to become quaint and charming through its combining of the modern with the "historic brownstone."[4]

The Loring Greenway connects Nicollet Mall with Loring Park. The park is surrounded by apartment buildings, many dating from the early 1900s, although recent construction in the area has brought many new town homes and condominiums to the area. In 1972, the Loring Park Development District was created to use tax increment financing to demolish older apartment buildings in an approximately 10-block area and build new higher density buildings and commercial development, such as the Hyatt hotel on Nicollet. The Loring Greenway was created as part of this district.[5] The neighborhood includes part of the Harmon Place Historic District.[6]
