Palafox Street south of [[Garden Street|Garden]] is also known as '''Palafox Place''' and is one of Pensacola's most bustling retail districts, although its significance has waned in recent years as retailers have moved out toward shopping centers and malls. The southern terminus of Palafox Street is at [[Plaza de Luna]] on [[Pensacola Bay]]. Its northern terminus is just north of [[Michigan Avenue]]/[[Brent Lane]], where the road splits into [[Pensacola Boulevard]] (US 29) and [[Old Palafox Highway]].
Between Garden and [[Wright Street]]s there is a median separating the northbound and southbound lanes, where tracks of the [[Pensacola streetcar system]] formerly ran. The median has since been landscaped and is home to [[Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza]] and the [[9-11 Homage to America]] memorial. During the summer months, the median is used for the [[Palafox Market]].
