  • The Southside of St. Louis holds the nicer neighborhoods that are within the city limits of St. Louis. While in some of the neighborhoods, you wouldn't know that you're in the murder capital of large cities in the United States. In this video, I go through many of the southside St. Louis neighborhoods, and I pass by a couple of the breweries that St. Louis is widely known for.
    St. Louis Hills: 1:45 - 4:28
    Princeton Heights: 4:28 - 7:10
    South Hampton: 7:35 - 10:10
    Dutchtown: 14:00 - 22:18
    Cleveland High School: 18:50
    Bevo Mill: 22:18 - 24:40
    Tower Grove South: 25:00 - 25:57

      It's not where you live that defines a person it's who you are that defines a person their character. That carnal mindset that you chose to allow your operations of thoughts to believe that an area of people which in reality are the same as you, but you believe they are unlike you or where you reside is the same mindset that will allow you to think that your better, smarter, above, and privileged or entitled. Blessings to you try to sharpen your disposition into the spirit of looking at the world through a metaphysical state which will allow you to look at people through your eyes with the eyes of leadership, potential and pardon!

      Unfortunately Chris, STL is no longer wonderful. Believe me, decent families moved to the county. St Charles was fantastic for young families. People started getting sick of the ghetto and decided to move west on hwy 70. St Charles has almost become a ghetto now. I am perfectly happy with my self contained city of Kirkwood.

    Wonderful video. I too grew up in South St. Louis near Reservoir Park along Grand Avenue and attended Roosevelt High School and St. Louis University. I left in 1963 and still return to visit relatives. It is sad how the city has deteriorated as I remember it being above 800,000 in the 1950's. I remember the stark segregation in early 1950's. My class at Roosevelt was the first to be integrated in January 1955. I watched the beginning of the downhill slide begin in the late 1950's when huge portions of the central part of the city were destroyed in the name of urban renewal. The problem was that the cleared land remained vacant for at least 20 years with only spotty development taking place. The consequence of all of this destruction was the the forced migration of the poorer population who lived there to North St. Louis which initiated the gradual decay seen there today. Like many cities, St. Louis suffered from the flight to the suburbs of St. Louis County and the population tumbled which continues to this day. I was impressed with the pleasant appearance of many of the South St. Louis neighborhood I knew growing up something that I did not expect. Keep up the good work!

    Grew up in Soulard about a block from the Brewery, but we moved to St. Louis County about 8 years ago. I remember the smell of beer and hops from the brewery, and every Friday night the whole neighborhood got together and played games in a small park which is now a garbage dump, and apparently all the kids have since moved out and drug deals happen on the streets.
    It is really sad what happened to St. Louis. It would be a midwest powerhouse if there wasnt mismanagement, we were on track to lowering crime but Covid-19 ruined the plans

One of the facility's responsibilities is compiling all the data for the US Coast Guard's broadcasts to mariners on the Mississippi, Illinois, Missouri and Ohio Rivers. By continuing straight on Arsenal towards the river is the US Army Corps of Engineers service base for the St Louis District. The district covers the Mississippi River from Clarksville, MO down to Cairo, IL, and the Illinois River from Grafton, Il to the LaGrange Lock and Dam, and is responsible for operating all of the river locks in the district and maintaining the navigable channel.

He was let go as what he worked on (maintaining the physical mainframes of the old platter drives) was basically getting so small and fast that it was easier to replace a drive instead of fixing it. He was a graduate of Cleveland and as a kid I got to know the high school building as my dance school did their recitals there.

  • @richardboll8763
    @richardboll8763 Před 3 lety +8

    You want answers…here’s one. Notice as you drive around on the secondary neighborhood streets and come up a major street. Notice there is building on the corner that looks larger or has large windows? Most of those buildings were occupied by small businesses, most often a grocery store, butcher shop, pharmacy, etc. you didn’t drive to “Schnuck’s” or Dierberg’s”. You walked down to the corner to places like Clancy’s or Nick Hummel’s, both within 2 or 3 blocks of each other on Mackland. Each small street in a neighborhood was its own small family, and loyalty ran deep. After moving to the south county suburbs in 1965, my mom would still drive to Hummel’s on Mackland and Eichelberger (you passed it on your drive). The loss of neighborhood is what precipitated the decline of the cities.

    Thanks for this fun tour. The Kingshighways are related in the various towns. There is a route that follows the Mississippi River towns that is like El Camino Real in California. El Camino Royal means the king's highway or royal route. Kingshighway was a route laid out by 1700s colonists that had been sent by the French & Spanish kings and they followed earlier Indian trails. You will find many Kingshighways from town to town along the Mississippi. This is the El Camino Real of the Midwest. If you google Kingshighway + Midwest El Camino Real, you will find info on it.

    I was born in the South Side of St Louis in St Alexis Hospital in the DutchTown area. This south city is part of my childhood. The Dangerous Neighborhoods in the South City is the DutchTown Neighborhood and Carondelet and South Tower Grove area. The Safe part of the South City is Boulevard heights, St Louis Hills, Princeton Heights, Holly Hills in the South side of the City but it's near the St Louis County boundary at the same time

    Magnificent production...and this is the city losing the most population? Thanks to your work Chris I can see this area really has character. Where do I begin with this and your work? First you are very very smart. You are a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. When you add that to your video-art the area becomes alive and tells its story. I want to reference your livability index that came about after this video and tell you how unique and important that is. When I moved to Chareleston SC in 1977 it was a fairly sleepy place with big history and a small core signature historic area. I was stunned to see that to me the historic area was much much bigger with a lot of 'backwater' antebellum buildings. Well...no more. I moved in 2004 and by 2016 on a return visit it had become a top tourist, living and retirement area. Your livability index would have indicated a high chance of that happening. You have wisdom Chris. Let it take you where it may.

    I was a community organizer in St. Louis, in both the south and north. Yeah, the north is higher crime but there were some rough areas in the south as well. In particular, south of Gravois and east of Grand, over to the river down to Merrimac. I believe you call it Dutchtown in your video.

      @@malebhaskar It's a neighborhood in transition. Lots of places to eat and convenient to the freeway but there are scruffy areas interspersed with remodeled houses. I prefer the Patch which is just south on Broadway. There's a more adventurous crowd actively fixing it up.

    @billsmith5960 Před rokem +2

    I grew up on the south side. Most of our neighbors moved to the south side because a black family moved into their neighborhood. Back in the day there was no political correctness. If you notice, the south side and even the areas of south county that's close, the homes, Catholic Churches and Catholic Schools were all built around the late 40's to the late 60's. I know, my school was built in the late 40 all along with the homes that lined it. Neighbors were all white and either from Italy, Ireland or Germany. Thus a mass white flight from the north side. Red lining worked very well.

  • @r.pres.4121
    @r.pres.4121 Před 2 lety +2

    The south side of St Louis is very beautiful and well kept. Even the neighborhoods with the higher crime appear mostly clean and well kept. In Dutchtown and those other troubled neighborhoods you didn’t bother to mention the pet capita income or average housing prices. Just because a neighborhood has a crime problem doesn’t necessarily mean it is a horrible place overall. You just have to use common sense when in these neighborhoods.

    When I moved to St. Louis 1996 I was told not to live in the city and if I did do not live on a state street. First house I was shown by a realtor was on Connecticut St. by Tower Grove Park. It was completely rehabbed and cost 78K. I would walk everywhere with my kids, shop and eat on Grand, go to the park, and I never once had a problem. It was a fantastic neighborhood. I was transferred and had to leave St. Louis in 2000, I was sad because I wanted to be there forever. I sold my house for 139K and moved to Tulsa. I'm sure glad I didn't listen to those Hoosiers at my work about living on a state street.

Man back then we partied we got into fights we skipped school we flipped the teacher off etc etc. But nothing like this shooting crap that's going on in these schools now. Just a national tragedy.
