West Midtown

West Midtown, also known as Westside, is a colloquial area, comprising many historical neighborhoods located in Atlanta, Georgia. Once largely industrial, West Midtown is now the location of urban lofts, art galleries, live music venues, retail and restaurants. Nomenclature West Midtown is directly west of Midtown Atlanta, hence that name. The name for the area is a matter of debate. The name "West Midtown" is used by the neighbors' association in Home Park, the largest constituent neighborhood, the West Midtown Business Association, and Westside Provisions, a privately run commercial district. The Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau uses West Midtown and defines the Westside as consisting of West Midtown and Atlantic Station. Only "Westside" or "The Westside" is used by the Not for Tourists guide. Creative Loafing has used both "West Midtown" and "Westside", but now uses "Westside" in its official neighborhood guide. The West Midtown Design District uses both terms. Google Maps does not mark the area with a neighborhood name.
