Bocek Park, which includes much of Middle East, is often referred to as the "Down the Hill" neighborhood by local residents.The neighborhood formerly had a white working-class Czech-American majority and is home to St. Wenceslaus Church, a historically Czech parish that is now majority African-American.The Middle East neighborhood and surrounding areas were then known colloquially as "Little Bohemia."
