South of Highway 290, much of South Congress Avenue retains its original appearance of industrial properties, car dealerships, and self-storage units. After all, this area's pretty far from downtown by the typical standards of density -- but you'll still find pockets of rapid development along the avenue that seem to imply that won't be the case for long.
Possibly the best example of this can be found in what's apparently now dubbed the St. Elmo District, a cluster of industrial properties along St. Elmo Road . . .
