The South Side, to the southeast in reality, is home to the heart of Waco. It is where the city was born and much of its history was created. It was a prospering area until 1953, when it was devastated by a tornado. It also suffers from Urban decay, though the area around Baylor University is being renewed.

Famous quotes containing the words south and/or side:
“To lib and die in Dixie!
Away, away, away down South in Dixie!”
—Daniel Decatur Emmett (1815–1904)
“If the heart beguiles itself in its choice [of a wife], and imagination will give excellencies which are not the portion of flesh and blood:Mwhen the dream is over, and we awake in the morning, it matters little whether ‘tis Rachael or Leah,—be the object what it will, as it must be on the earthly side ... of perfection,—it will fall short of the work of fancy, whose existence is in the clouds.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
