Escapee: Where’s Midtown Now?

Escapee: When I was growing up in CDA in the '60s, “Midtown” was the stretch of little businesses between Roosevelt Avenue and Harrison Avenue, although I never regarded Safeway as being a part of Mid-town. That was then, I guess. So how far does “Midtown” go now? As far north as I-90?

Question: Escapee makes a good point. I've always considered Midtown to be 3rd & 4th streets between Foster & Harrison. The improved street goes farther south. What do you consider Midtown?
