Carothers St, Madisonville

Carothers St is a short street between Whetsel Ave. and Peabody Ave. in the culturally diverse Madisonville neighborhood. It runs parallel to an elevated railroad track, although I'm not certain if trains still use it. The street is so narrow, only one car can drive the pavement at a time. That's okay because there's not much there.

At the Peabody end of Carothers you'll find a small house or two. At the Whetsel side there's ASPEC Plastics, a company that specializes in plastic injection molding: http://www.aspecplastics.com/ That's about it, other than a few patches of grass.

Carothers doesn't have much to offer, but it's close to everything you'd need. There are a few small shops and a bank a few minutes away on Madison Rd. There are several churches and schools nearby. It's only minutes away from Red Bank Expressway's businesses, shops and restaurants, and 10 minutes from Hyde Park and Oakley shopping and dining.

For recreational activities, Carothers St. is 5 minutes away from the Stewart Park and Madisonville Recreation Center, and minutes away from Madison Bowl.

Those who live in Madisonville have watched the changes in commercial and residential development over recent years. They see lots of good things in the neighborhood's future.
