The neighborhood has no shortage of lesser-known, yet no less endearing, attractions, such as the Shakespeare Elm in City Park. The tree, which bears a plaque, earned its name because it grew from a scion taken from an elm tree at the celebrated playwright’s gravesite in Stratford-Upon-Avon.​​​​​​​
