4. 18th & Vine Historic District

18TH & VINE HISTORIC DISTRICT.   During the roaring '20s, this swanky neighborhood, defying Prohibition's mandates, would swing and groove nightly to the smooth sounds of Charlie "Bird" Parker, Duke Ellington, and Ella Fitzgerald at places like the famous Blue Room. After an extensive reclamation process, the neighborhood has again become a thriving part of the city, especially following the opening of the American Jazz Museum and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.   (© 10Best)
