Thought I'd through a little historical question out to DYessers. Historically, Corktown's western border was generally 12th/Rosa Parks, though, the definition seems to have changed to also include most everything west of 12th and north of the railroad tracks [[basically, the few blocks around Michigan Central Station) to the Fisher as part greater Corktown.

My question is whether or not the area west of 12th - and more particularly south of the railroad tracks/"behind" MCS - to about the bridge had any indentity as its own? Was it known as anything specific? Even now, it still seems a bit much to refer to this area as even being a part of either Mexicantown [[which starts on the other side of the freeway and bridge) or Corktown. Though, with the Mexican population having spilled across the bridge, it's probably more culturally a part of Mexicantown. Still, I don't think any of the Mexicantown or Southwest Detroit business associations represent this little "inbetween" neighborhood.

Thoughts?
