In more recent times Bloomington has been designated as a "Tree City USA".
The city of Bloomington centers around the Courthouse Square, and the downtown area has a large variety of ethnic restaurants and specialty shops. A number of museums showcase the city’s history, as well as the history of south-central Indiana. More details are at www.visitbloomington.com.
