SoDoSoPa is a entertainment and shopping district in South Park. It was featured in the Season Nineteen episode, "The City Part of Town".
Background[]
When talk show host Jimmy Fallon jokes about how backward South Park is in his Tonight Show monologue due to Herbert Garrison's anti-immigration Presidential platform, Randy Marsh rallies the townsfolk to give the town a modern makeover and convince the nation that they are not all xenophobic hicks.
The new shopping district SoDoSoPa is created in the poor side of town surrounding Kenny's house. Its name is a contraction of its location in town: "South of Downtown South Park." This plan leads to Randy venturing further by requesting a Whole Foods Market.
Tuong Lu Kim makes his own district called CtPaTown, on Kenny's suggestion, to counter his losing business to the new shopping center. A block war ensues between the townsfolk, destroying the SoDoSoPa district giving CtPaTown the right to the Whole Foods grocery outlet. SoDoSoPa was abandoned as a result, rendering it once again as a slum, and all of the businesses were moved to Shi Tpa Town.
By "Naughty Ninjas" the slums have greatly expanded with many homeless having moved in. The McCormicks call the police to have the new inhabitants removed for trespassing, but they no longer dared using violence after Officer Barbrady was fired for accidentally shooting a latino child. The homeless later flee when SoDoSoPa when the boys and their friends use it as their Ninja Club hangout, believing they are ISIS child soldiers. However, this just made them relocate to Shi Tpa Town, and after the truth is discovered the adult force the boys to stop and permit the police to forcefully move the homeless back to SoDoSoPa.
SoDoSoPa is briefly seen later in the Season Twenty-Two episode "Unfulfilled". The location didn't appear to have a problem with homeless anymore.
In the Season Twenty-Four episode "The Pandemic Special", Randy mentions that Thomas Turner had opened a restaurant in SoDoSoPa, but it had to be shut down due to COVID-19.
